M: guys... Don't shout please...

C: what do you expect from us after what you asked nanduu... You asked her out for a date manik... That to infront of us... Are you nuts??? Or are you still stuck up thinking Nandu is your girlfriend???

M: okay before others speak.... Let me explain

S: manik... You don't need to explain... I understood why u asked that...

He signaled Nandu.. Asking as if manik is diverting her mind.... Manik smiled and nodded...

The trio didn't understand what manik and said were talking

Na: bhai... Could you please explain???

M: okay... I wanna have dinner with you guys in my favorite restaurant.. And I know that you guys won't accept if Nandu is not interested so being a gentleman... I asked her out... And what did you think.. I asked her out for proposing her???

Nandu blushed hearing the word proposing and this is observed by a person...

Kon hai...???

Nahi bathaungi....😜😜😜

Nandu accepted manik's date along with her friends... The went to a restaurant... Sid fed Nandu... After completing their food they reached home... The day ended..

Next day Nandu spent most of her time with sid .... Manik felt restless seeing Nandu soooo close to siddd....

As the day passed Nandu clinged more to him...

They passes in a jiffy... It was time sid have to leave...

Nandu hugged him tightly not letting him go...

N: sidduuu... Mat jaoo... Pleashhhh

She plead him in a baby voice... She was in verge of crying...

S: nanduu... Mujhe bhi Jane ka man nahi karha... Lekin jaana tho padega na... Please understand... And very soon I'll come back to you....

He said as if a father says to his little daughter..

N: nahiiii... Mat jaoo...

Everyone was there but no one spoke any word coz they don't wanna interfere in their precious moments...

S: you are my strong girl na jaan... Please don't cry.... Please jaane do... And this time when I come back... I promise I'll bring everyone along...

But Nandu was adamant to let him go... She cribbed like a baby...
Sid was hugging her tightly kissing her hairs and forehead may times... Everyone else was adoring their bond...

Finally did made her understand that he have to go... She with a heavy heart let him go... But immediately left to her room.. Navya was about to go but sidd stopped her saying she needs some lone time...

Sid left to airport and manik accompanied him

S: manik... Please take care of jaan...

M: you don't need to mention it sid.... Please trust me... I'll be there for her always...

Manik spoke with an unknown tinkle in his eyes... Which was observed by sid ... Sid saw the same glint in nandu's eyes.. The blush when she was teased by manik's name...

S: I trust u manik... And jab than thum vapas jaaoge na Nandu will be crying... And please give this package to her...

Sid pointed a big gift package in the back seat.

M: sidd...I promise... I'll take care of Nandu...I'll take her complete responsibility....

Sid smiles at him... Soon sid leaves to London... And manik return back to home... He directly moves to nandu's room... Nandu was laying on the bed and crying... Manik sits by her side... He helps Nandu to sit...Nandu was crying more ... Manik holds her hand in his...

M: nanduuu.. Let it out Nandu...

As soon as he said this.. Nandu hopped into his arms hugging him very tightly not even thinking about her physical pain... They remained in each other's arms for a long time...

After a while they broke the hug.. Manik make her lay on the bed..cover her the duvet and asked her to sleep..

Nandu took his hand and places it on her head asking him to pat her to sleep ... Manik looked at her in astonishment..

N: jab mein choti this na amma used to do this.. And when she left... sid used to pat me to sleep.. And after I came here I pat myself ... Nahi tho need nahi ayega...

Manik.. Please make me sleep...

Manik smiled and patted her head very gently and hummed a lullaby for her making her sleep peacefully.. After she slipped in to sleep manik adjusted the duvet and kissed her forehead and made his lips stay on her forehead for a longer time.. And came out of the room..
