Girls placed their dresses in mukthi's room.. abhi showed boys all the bags and they collected their respective girls dress...soon boys got ready and abhi,dhruv and cabir are downstairs going through last time arrangements... Manik is still in his room..as he was unable to find his dress...
Meanwhile nandu woke up..
Nandu(pov): when I opened my eyes...they popped out after watching the image infront of me.. I looked around me and found tht Iam in Manik's room and he is standing infront of me in his kurta... He is looking damn hot!! Iam unable to take my eyes off him...how will I manage to be in party with him by my side..btt no!! I can't.. I have to..and I sat on bed and called manik..
Manik(pov): I was standing infront of mirror and applying gel to my hair...suddenly I saw nandu moving in the bed through mirror... She was looking so cute while sleeping.. Jst like a baby.. Y can't I take my eyes off her.. Whenever she is around me.  I feel like.. I have finally got tht someone with whom I can share all my worries, fears and everything... Though I have these many people who love me and whom I love.. Still some things are unshared...which I feel like sharing with her...she was staring at me..  And lost in thoughts.. May be she didn't noticed tht Iam watching her..she sat on bed and called me..
Manik: so finally ur sleep broke.. It's 6.30pm... Go and freshen up and get ready for party... Iam moving downstairs...
Nandu nodded her head like an obedient child and got down from her bed... She was moving towards washroom...bt something click her mind and she turned...before she could ask..manik answered her as if he knew wts going on in her mind..
Manik: ur dress is in washroom itself...I already placed it over there in cupboard...and an extra towel.. I know u carry ur own things BT if u fall short of ...so in tht case...
She smiled and turned around to go..
Manik: waise puchogi nahin ki yeh dress and tum yahan kaisi ayi...I mean... Tum toh couch pe thi na..
Nandu(smiling): I don't need to.. Coz I trust u manik..
Manik smiled and moved out of the room and closed it from outside..while nandu entered washroom..and opened her bag..
Nandu(pov): why did I say tht I trust him?? And y did I not panicked after finding me in his room..what's happening with me... I know bhai is here BT still.. I trusted manik.. How??
Thinking all these she finished her bath and got ready...she came out of washroom and saw all the girls sitting their all ready..alya was helping mukthi with makeup..nandu also did a light makeup and wore her accessories...

Everyone are busy in their own world's when they heard arrival of bride and were left paused in their moments after looking at them.. All the girls are looking dashing and hot... Every men in the hall of their age gap was staring at them and our boys we don't need to tell abt them..
Girls were busy in their own world and after feeling so many gazes they turned towards those gazes bt were not afraid as their gaze was in their particular boys...
Mukthi and abhi went on stage and exchanged rings.. Mukthi ring was a platinum one with mukbhi on it and same was of abhi.. These rings were selected by our cabni(cabir and nandu).. Mukbhi smiled at their frnds...

Cabir: waise mukthi!! Teri mehendi ka colour kaise aya??
Mukthi: abey!! Yeh kya ladkiyon ke qustns pooch raha hain..kaise bhi ho kya pharak padta hain.. Colour hi toh hain...
Nandu: nahin mukthi. Aisa belief hain ki...agar tumhara mehendi ka colour deep hua toh tumhara pati tumse bahut pyaar karta hain..
As soon as they heard this all boys and girls noticed each others hands.. Even manik noticed nandu's hands and was glowing..and with a smile he saw nandu face BT it was pale...he was confused...
Manik: nandu!! Tu mood off mein kyun ho?? Wt happened??
With this everyone attention turned towards her.
Nandu: me!! Nahin toh. Aisa kyun laga..
And she continued with her dinner..
Manik: coz when all are checking their mehendi colour .u didn't even took a glance of it...
Nandu: it is because. I know wt will be its colour... It wl be pale red as usual...
After saying this she turned towards everyone BT to her surprise all are staring her hands..she turned towards manik who gestured her to look at her hands...nandu glanced her hands hesitatingly and was dumbstruck by the colour tht her eyes are filled with tears..the colour was so deep...tht it indicated someone's true and mad love towards her..

They all finished their dinner and retired to their respective homes as all are tired... No one qustnd her anything as manik indicated them and assured that he will take care of tht..
Soon all of them changed to their night suits and crashed the beds..
