Nandini punched him in the face and started to walk away from the bridge while Manik ran behind her.

Manik: Nandini, listen to me!

Nandini: No, I won't listen to you, Manik Malhotra. You can go back to Mumbai. Remember what you said yesterday: we can't be together.

Manik continued to walk behind her, trying to convince her to forgive him.

Manik: Nandini, please forgive me. I didn't mean it. I promise I won't repeat my mistake.

Nandini's Home

Nandini rang the doorbell, and her dad opened the door.

Nandini: Appa, tell him to go away.

Manik: Dad, tell her to forgive me first.

Rajesh: Nandini, he has realized his mistake, so just forgive him, dear.

Nandini: No, I won't.

Nandini walked into the house.

Rajesh: Don't worry, she will forgive you soon. Come on in.

Manik: I hope so, Dad.

Rajesh: I have to go to work, but you can try to make her accept your apology.

Manik: Yes, sure, Dad.

Manik called someone and asked them to bring something. A while later, Nandini was busy in the kitchen, so Manik took the chance to enter her room with the things he had ordered. When Nandini came out of the kitchen, she saw an arrow on the floor. She followed it to her room and was shocked to see it decorated.

Near an "I love you" decoration, she found a note. It said: "Your love is more than the twinkling of stars and more than the shining of the sun at noon. Your love is the passion that lights up my life. I love you, Nandini."

Next, she walked further and found another note: "My love story in six words: I can't imagine life without you."

Nandini smiled. She followed the arrow to her bathroom. On the door was a note: "The worst feeling is to be ignored once, then twice, then again and again by someone you consider precious. So, my precious doll, please do the honor of opening the door. Please don't ignore me this time."

Nandini smiled and opened the door. Manik was standing inside with a board that read: "I love you to the moon and back to infinity and beyond forever and ever."

Manik: Nandini, if you want to punch me again, go ahead, but please forgive me.

Nandini: Fine.

Manik: Okay, ready? One... two... three... punch.

Manik closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he didn't feel a punch, so he opened his eyes and was happy to see Nandini laughing.

Nandini: OMG, Manik Malhotra, you are so cute!

Manik: So you've forgiven me already?

Nandini: Yes. Now come, let's eat lunch. I've cooked your favorite foods.

Manik: Wow, so you weren't angry with me even before you started cooking?

Nandini: My anger vanished after I punched you on the bridge.

Manik: That means...

Nandini: Yes, I was pretending to be angry just to see what you would do. I must say, I'm impressed.

Manik: Really?

Nandini: Yes.

Manik: That means I need my reward right now.

Nandini: What reward?

Manik: A French kiss, since we are in Paris.

Nandini: No, I won't. Come, let's eat first.

After Lunch

Manik: Nandini, I want to take a shower first.

Nandini: Okay, you can use the bathroom in my room.

After a few minutes, Manik called out to Nandini.

Manik: Nandini, I need a towel!

Nandini went into the room and grabbed a towel for Manik.

Nandini: Manik, open the door. Here's the towel.

Instead of taking the towel, Manik pulled Nandini into the bathroom.

Nandini: Manik, what are you doing?

Before Nandini could realize what was happening, he pulled her into the shower and started kissing her sensually. Nandini began to respond.

After some time, MaNan came out, and Manik carried Nandini in his arms toward the bed. He gently laid her on the bed and came on top of her, kissing her neck. When he was about to open Nandini's clothes, they heard the doorbell ring. Both came back to their senses and went to see who it was. Nandini opened the door, and it was her dad.

Nandini: Appa, you're back so fast?

Rajesh: Yeah, I finished work already.

Rajesh came in.

Rajesh: So, did you guys patch up?

He then noticed they were both in wet clothes. Rajesh smiled.

Rajesh: It looks like you just had a water fight.

Manik: We've patched up, Dad.

Rajesh: Good.

Manik: Dad, I'm planning to open a new branch of Malhotra Industries in Paris so that...

Rajesh: So that you can see Nandini every day. Am I right, Manik?

Rajesh finished Manik's sentence for him.

Manik: Yes, Dad.

Rajesh: You guys can think about marriage after Nandini completes her college studies.

Manik: Okay, Dad.

Nandini: Thank you for accepting our relationship, Dad.

Rajesh: Nandini, I'll always support true love, and I'll never repeat the mistake my parents made. I'm very happy with your choice, Nandini, and I can see that Manik will always keep you happy.

Rajesh went into the house. Nandini immediately hugged Manik.

Nandini: You're shifting your entire company here just for me?

Manik: You are my life, Nandini, so how will I work in Mumbai without my life? Besides, our love is a "Paris wala" love, so it's best if we stay in Paris, right?

Nandini: Yes. And we can go on a one-month holiday to Mumbai every year.

Manik: Good idea.

Manik lifted Nandini and fused his lips with hers.

Happily Ever After

A year later, Nandini completed her college studies, and MaNan got married. All their friends and Manik's parents were present at their grand wedding in Paris. Manik bought a bungalow in Paris, and they started living there after their wedding.

After the marriage, Nandini signed an album with her friends. Sometimes, Manik would follow her to practice, and those moments would always turn romantic.

MaNan lived happily ever after.
