(Manik's POV) Next day both of us went to meet her parents. It seemed more like she was praying nothing should happen. Nothing would happen. I am not going to stubborn like I am when it is anything concerning Nandini. I know that she loves her parents a lot. They love her too. They helped her through her tough times; I would be beyond cruel if I want to tear her away from them or them from her. I just hoped that my patience stands. Throughout the drive, I was praying in my mind. I wanted Dad to understand. I tried o make mom but she wouldn't. When we reached, James opened the door.

(Butler) "Ms. Nandini! Welcome back!"

(Manik to the Butler) "Is Mr. Murthy home?" Manik asked, jumping straight in.

(Butler) "I will tell Sir." He went in towards Dad's study.

(Manik)"I was thinking of talking to Mr. Venkatesh Murthy and you first."

(Nandini) "James has gone to check if Dad is free."

(Renuka) "I see."

(Butler) "Mam, Sir said that he would see Mr. Manik." When we all started, "Just Mr. Manik."

(Nandini's POV) looked at him but he just smiled gently and went behind James. I could feel butterflies in my stomach. Sometime later, Dad and Manik came out.

(VM) "Well Nandini. Why are you here?"

(Nandini) "Dad, we would like your permission to get married."

(VM) "Ha ha ha. Have you ever heard Nandini talk so confidently about what she wanted? After her career choice, this is the first time she has said it clearly. She was not even this insistent about getting into practice. I am not going to say no when you know what you really want to do. I accept. I give you my permission with my full and satisfied heart. I will give you my wholehearted blessing. Are you happy?"

(Nandini was happy and on cloud 9, she hugged her dad and spoke) "Thank you, dad. I didn't think you would accept it, dad. Thank you so much. I love you!"

 I love you!"
