Now it's Manik turn to please nandini. He can go on a date with nandini by blackmailing her but this time he wants her to come wholeheartedly .so finally mission "pleasing nandini for a date "started.

Nandini came out of washroom and noticed a letter on table

My dear prisoner get ready for surprises coz today ur gonna accept my date proposal.

Nandini : he is gonna propose me for a date? But today morning he was ordering me
My god how does he always manage to get these mood swings
She turned towards the table when she saw something written on the mirror. She went close to the mirror ,it is written as

Miss nandini murthy did anyone tell you how gorgeous u look when you smile. I am sure many of the guys must have gone crazy on ur smile,can you please do me a honour by coming on a date with me?

Seeing this she blushed an unknown smile appeared on her face . She took a snapshot of it as a memory and erased it from the memory

Meanwhile other family members were calling her for breakfast so she went and sat there but she couldn't find him anywhere. Seeing her restlessness chachi said that he had some important work so he went out.

Chachi came inside the kitchen
Chachi :Manik beta plan kya hai? Dekho zara bichari ki chehra uthar gaya hai tumhari vajah se

Manik : don't worry chachi mai ye sab uske liye hi kar raha rahun. I love her smile u don't worry
Aap bas ye plate use De dijiye

Chachi :but Manik ye tho bread and jam hai she said she want to eat dosa
Manik : chachi don't worry do as I say. Saying this he does something on the bread and gives to chachi

Chachi gives the breakfast to nandini . She was about to ask chachi about dosa but suddenly stops and grabs the plate so that no one would see wat was written on the plate

DATE?
It was written with jam

She was shocked seeing this. Wat if someone else see this. So she decided to eat it faster and succeeded in doing so

Everyone gave her a "WHAT " look seeing her eat so rapidly

She nodded in a nothing.

After breakfast she settled in the couch thinking about all incidents starting from Manik s arrival

Meanwhile she received a book post which she personally signed and took. There was a newspaper in it

Nandini : WTH newspaper koi book post karta hai kya?

She turned the post to find from adress but in vain so she opened the newspaper. Her eyes started wetting after seeing it
Inside the newspaper there is nothing except her large sized pics printed on it. Even some of the pages had pics which were taken when she worked in an ngo for helping poor, her pics on stage while singing, pics with family and fab4, her childhood pics, selfies wat not.
Every pic of precious moments were cherished in the paper

Last page had a small childhood pic of Manik and nandini with a printed note under it

Nandini I was not with you all these years, I was not present in any of ur special moments but now I want to cherish every moment with you
Would you please give me one evening of urs?
A date with me?

Nandini closed it and safely kept it Inside. She just want to hug him right now but her mind won over her heart she can't be weak. She decided to be stubborn but Manik was observing all this. He knew he deserved this but he didn't give up .
He blocked nandinis way. She avoided eye contact to supress her feelings

Manik : nandini y do you always pretend with me?

Nandini : Manik iam not pretending

Manik : oh really nandini then let's see.
He pinned her to wall so that they can face each other
Manik : nandini I want to repay all the moments which I lost 8 years . Come with me.
He takes her to their school,where they had numerous moments until the day Manik left.

Manik : this is the place where I saw u for the last time. Our second home. I want to start everything from past nandini. Now I want this place to be remembered as a place where I got my old nandini back!

Saying this he turned and the whole school had life size banners of nandinis pictures rolling down from 5th floor to the ground
Nandini was overwhelmed with this
Manik came close to nandini and knelt down in front of her

Manik : nandini I promise won't hurt u again. I just want to talk to you would u please accept my proposal for a date?

Nandini nodded in a yes and the next moment Manik hugged her, she too responded back

After some time they broke the hug
Nandini : thank you Manik u made me feel so special after ages
She was about to leave when Manik holded her wrist and brought back with a jerk .She landed on his chest and his hands around her waist
Manik : vaise nandini u know na wat happens on a date?
I told you that I want to have a talk with you but I can't promise that I won't do anything. It depends u know
Saying this he started sliding his hands upwards
Nandini suddenly got into her senses,came extremely closer to Manik who was expecting something else. She stamped his foot so that he would leave her and yeah her plan worked
She started running and stopped in the mid way
Nandini : Manik malhotra don't keep your expectations high coz ur dealing with nandini murthy
Manik blushes seeing her running away
