TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 37

FASHION HOUSE - WEDNESDAY - 3 MORE DAYS FOR THE PARTY

Manik and Nandini entered the fashion house... Just before Nandini went to her cabin, Manik stopped her by holding her hand...

Manik: Nandini, you are completely fine, right?

Nandini: Yes, Manik!

Manik: If you feel unwell, then tell me. I will cancel the meeting today, as the real presentation is next Wednesday, and we still have time...

Nandini: Manik, I am perfectly fine...

Manik: Okay, then see you in the meeting at sharp 10 am...

Nandini: Okay, Manik...

JUNIOR DESIGNER CABIN

Manik went to his cabin while Nandini entered her cabin, and there was only Sujatha there...

Sujatha: Nandini, why were you absent yesterday?

Nandini: Actually, I had a fever yesterday, and that's why I couldn't come, but now I am fine...

Sujatha: Thank god you are fine, Nandini, as I was wondering how I would show the design to Manik sir alone if you were absent today too...

When Manik's name was mentioned by Sujatha, Nandini remembered all the incidents that happened yesterday, from the bone-crushing hug to the morning incident when she woke up hugging Manik instead of the bolster...

Sujatha: Ye tum itna blush kyu kar rahi ho?

Nandini: Wo... wo... kuch bhi to nahi...

Sujatha: Nandini, did I miss something? Ek minute, yesterday Manik sir was not here, so that means he was with you...

Nandini smiled, agreeing with Sujatha...

Sujatha: Okay, so now tell me... how is his TLC?

Nandini: What?

Sujatha: Arrey, I mean how is his tender, love, and care?

Nandini: Wo...

Sujatha: Wo kya, Nandu?

Nandini: Sujatha, bas... remember, now we should focus on the meeting, as in one hour we have to be in the conference room...

Sujatha: Oh, yes, I really hope our design will get selected, yaar...

Nandini: I don't care whether he chooses our design or not, but we should crack this deal...

MANIK'S CABIN

Manik was talking with Natasha regarding Nandini's dress...

Manik: Natasha, I want the dress to be ready by Saturday afternoon...

Natasha: Okay, Manik, I will make sure it will be ready by then...

Manik: And also make sure Nandini doesn't get any hint about it...

Natasha: No worries, Manik... she will not know about it until you tell her yourself...

Manik: Thank you, Natasha...

Natasha: That's alright, Manik...

CONFERENCE ROOM - 10 AM

Everyone was already there, and Manik entered the room. The first person he looked at was Nandini... He realized Nandini was wrapping her arms around her body and looked like she was shivering...

Manik: Nandini, are you okay...

Nandini: Yeah, Manik, I am okay... just feeling cold due to the air-conditioner...
