TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 52

THE EVENT HALL

Nandini was chatting casually with Sujatha when Soha approached and called out to them... As Nandini and Sujatha turned toward her, Soha sprayed party spray on them, saying...

Soha: Merry Christmas, Nanz and Suja...

Sujatha, positioned to see Soha coming with the spray, wasn't caught off guard, but Nandini was completely unaware. When Soha sprayed her, Nandini started coughing... Soha grew worried...

Soha: Nanz, are you alright?

Nandini: Yeah, I'm okay...

Nandini said, still coughing. Manik, who had just sent Cabir to change out of his Santa costume, noticed Nandini coughing non-stop and rushed to her...

Manik: Kya hua, Nandini?

Nandini: Nothing, Manik!

Nandini said to protect Soha from Manik's reaction...

Manik: Really? Then why are you coughing?

Sujatha: Wo, sir, Soha sprayed party spray on us, and that's why Nandini started coughing...

Manik's anger flared...

Manik: Can't you mind your own business, Soha? Look, because of you, Nandini's coughing non-stop...

Manik shouted at her...

Soha: I... I'm sorry, Manik... I didn't know it would make her cough like this...

Manik was about to scold Soha further, but Nandini interrupted...

Nandini: Manik, mujhe pani chahiye!

Manik: Okay, wait... I'll get it for you!

Manik went to get water, but as he returned with a glass, Zaki reached Nandini first and handed her one...

Zaki: Here, drink some water, you'll be alright...

Nandini took it and drank. The coughing finally stopped...

Manik was relieved that Nandini's cough had stopped, but he wasn't happy that Zaki had given her the water... He glared at Zaki from a distance, his mind replaying Zaki's earlier conversation about confessing love to someone who works at the fashion house... Then, some guests called Manik, so he went to greet them...

Nandini: Thank you, Zaki!

Zaki: My pleasure, Nandini!

Soha: I'm sorry, Nanz.

Soha apologized, holding her ears...

Nandini: Don't say sorry, Soha, it's not your fault... Waise bhi, it's just a cough... Hmmm... Soha, don't feel bad that Manik scolded you. He always overreacts when it's about me...

Soha: Yeah, I know our boss's temper well, so no worries, Nandini. I didn't take it personally; in fact, it shows how much he loves you!

Sujatha: Yeah, Nandini, you're lucky to have someone who loves you so deeply...

Soha: Yeah, I really wish I'll find someone who loves me like that too!!!

Zaki thought to himself: I'll love you till my last breath, Soha!!!

Sujatha went to get a drink for herself... Nandini blushed, thinking about what her friends said about Manik, and Zaki noticed, starting to tease her...

Zaki: Aww, my sweety is blushing!!!

Nandini: Kya? No... Not at all!

Zaki: Really? Then why do your cheeks look as red as a tomato!!!
