MaNan FF : Life With Nandini (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 17

Chapter - 17

Location - Malhotra Mansion

Since Dhruv was basically a Punjabi munda - almost all the guests from his side were typical Loud Punjabis - who would prefer staying at the Groom/Bride place - and attend the functions. Not wanting their beautiful house to get jammed - Manik had arranged their stay at the outhouse - which was big enough to accommodate all the guests. All the boys were ready in their Hard Black tuxedos except for Dhruv who was in white - a little hatke coz he was the groom - and were welcoming the guests when Dhruv's mom came to Manik and said Beta Manik! Our guests are a little loud - Please don't mind if they end up doing something that they shouldn't. Manik smiled at her and replied Its perfectly fine Aunty. They are our guests and will be treated as they should be. Unless it doesn't harm anyone - I am cool with it. Dhruv's Mom patted his cheek and said Thanks beta. And where is Nandini? I need her - things become hard when she is not around. Manik glanced at the door of his room and replied Aunty she is getting ready. Abhi aati hi hogi.

As soon as he finished saying, the room door opened and he saw Nandini hurriedly walking down the stairs - wearing a Hard Black Brasso Bordered Georgette saree with a open back net and sequined red blouse with short sleeves - her Pallu fitted perfectly on her shoulder - her hair tied in a fancy up-do - jeweled in diamond feathered ear cuffs that she was tucking in on her way, a pair of diamond wristlets - one in each hand, and a simple delicate one - string diamond waistband. As always, Manik was enchanted by her - she wasn't wearing anything heavy - yet she looked no less than the bride. She rushed towards them and asked eyeing ManikHow am I Looking? Jaldi jaldi me I got ready. Hope its upto the mark. Cabir - who was equally astound by her appearance said, coming close to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulderThank God tu jaldi jaldi me tayyar hui. Agar time lekar tayyar hoti na - toh guests pakka confuse hujate Dulhan ko lekar. You are looking so pretty. Saying this he kissed her temple and she thanked him.

Dhruv's mom then took some Kajal and said, applying it behind her earTouchwood! You look beautiful beta. Btw baaki ladkiyan kahan hai?Nandini smiled and replied Thank You Aunty. Navya aur Mukti, Aliya ke saath parlor gayi hain. They are on their way. Will be here anytime. Though every body had given her a compliment - she was sure of her beauty only because of his intense gaze - that was stuck on her - making her blush. Before Manik could say something, Aunty dragged her along for cross - checking the caterers once again. Cabir saw Manik's vexed expression and whispered in his ear Itna chid mat. Aisa torture hotey rahega puri shaadi khatm honey tak. Meri behen pehle se hi bohot busy hogi tayyari me. Zyada tang mat kariyo ussey. Samjha! Manik rolled his eyes and replied Accha? Bada pyaar araha hai apni behen per? Mujhper bhi kabhi rehem karliya kar. Udhale jitna mazak udana hai mera - jab apne per ayegi na tab baat kariyo. Bada aya! Aur rahi baat apni wife ke saath time spend karne ki toh woh toh main karunga hi - You think anyone can stop me? Saying this he started to go behind her but Cabir held his hand and said Mere Romeo! Romance ke liye puri raat hai. Chup chap yahan thair. Main akele in sab ko nahi sambhal sakta. Manik sighed - accepting his defeat and stayed back with Cabir.

Within next ten minutes - the entire hall was filled with the guests - who were talking so loudly that Cabir literally shut his ears with his hands. The three boys were annoyed with the constant hugs from the Uncles and haye-kitne-suney-mundey-hain from the Aunties. The only thing that was keeping them sober and guiding them indirectly was Nandini - who was effortlessly handling the guests along with the arrangements. It din't take her much time to make all the Aunties her fan with her ever-friendly nature and bubbly smile - except for some envious souls who were burning in jealousy - probably because of her beauty or the attention she was getting. Manik saw some elderly Aunties blessing her and caressing her cheeks - praising her beauty. Even being encircled by so many guests - she was blushing hard - sensing his gaze on herself and her blush was doing nothing - but making him more restless.
