TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 51

FASHION HOUSE - EVENT HALL

Throughout the journey, Nandini was silent yet excited to discover what awaited her at the party, as she thought it was just a success party... They reached the fashion house and walked together toward the event hall... As they approached the door...

Manik: Nandini, close your eyes, na!

Nandini: Why? We’re already at the door, Manik!

Manik: I know, and that’s why I want you to close your eyes...

Nandini: No way! First, you didn’t tell me what the surprise is, and now that we’re at the door, you’re asking me to close my eyes!!!

Manik: You won’t listen without arguing, right? Fine!

Manik used his right hand to cover her eyes...

Nandini: Manik, I want to see!

Nandini tried to move his hand, which completely blocked her view, but her efforts were in vain...

Manik: Shhh! Nandini, please be patient for just one more minute, then you’ll see the surprise...

Manik said in a husky voice near her ear...

Nandini: Okay!

Manik opened the door with his free hand...

After taking a few steps inside, Manik signaled Natasha to start. Natasha understood, as Manik had already informed her, and went to the DJ to start the music... Then she left to get something for MaNan... The song began—it was “Jingle Bells”... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PgNPc-iFW8

Manik removed his hand when the song started, allowing Nandini to see...

Dashing through the snow 
In a one-horse open sleigh 
Over the fields we go 
Laughing all the way 
Bells on bobtail ring 
Making spirits bright 
What fun it is to laugh and sing 
A sleighing song tonight!

Nandini was shocked to see the huge hall fully decorated for a Christmas party, with a Christmas song playing in the background...

Jingle bells, jingle bells, 
Jingle all the way. 
Oh! What fun it is to ride 
In a one-horse open sleigh. 
Jingle bells, jingle bells, 
Jingle all the way; 
Oh! What fun it is to ride 
In a one-horse open sleigh.

For a moment, she was speechless and numb, feeling like she was dreaming. Christmas parties held beautiful memories with her parents, and now she felt that magic again...

Manik: So, how’s the surprise?

Manik turned Nandini toward him... He noticed her eyes were teary...

Manik: Kya hua, Nandini? I thought you’d be happy seeing all this!

Nandini: I’m extremely happy, Manik!!!

Manik: Seriously? Then why the tears?

Nandini: Wo, in extremely happy moments, na, normal people get a bit emotional...

Manik smiled, wiped her tears, and asked...

Manik: So, do you like the party theme?

Nandini: I love it, Manik... You’ve proved once again that you’re my hero...

Manik: Toh, now you can smile, right?

Nandini smiled happily... She glanced around to check if anyone was watching them... Since they arrived early, the hall wasn’t crowded, and those present weren’t facing them... Seizing the moment, she quickly pecked Manik’s lips and said...
