Marriage Vows

The next few days passed very very hectic for all of them... Manik and Cabir were busy in London.. Cabir shopped and roam around a lot too.. he made sure Manik was never alone and took his meals properly... All in all the days were passing... Nandu and Manik talked but very less... Manik was really busy in all the work.. Moreover Nandu's schedule was also very tight... They did talk once in a day or two... But the bond between the two never loosened... They were still bonded strongly... The love that was blooming before, was at its peak now too... The cute little conversations... the soothing breaths... her silly rants and his stupid talks... The way they giggled... the way they laughed.. the way they smiled and the way they blushed... They were not perfect alone, they were not perfect in what they might do... but for the two of them, together, they were heading to make it a perfect thing... They were proving to be the best example for any other couple, best example, in all way, they would stand by each other, they would correct each other, they would even fight, they would argue, but at the end both knew which way to actually go... they were mature, they would act immature, they both had each others back to rely on..... And now... they were more sure.. more sure about the relationship, the bond, the connection they share... They might have still not realized in how much love they are... but for sure they were falling hard for each other, and deeper each time....

Karvachauth was just two days after... And it has been a day that Manik and Nandu had not been in touch... But Nyonika had decided that as this would be Nandani's first Karvachauth, so they would celebrate it together.. though it would just be a family affair but they wanted to celebrate it... Moreover the sudden sadness that surrendered them days ago was also to be reverted by some more good amazing memories... and for that it was really important...

Nandani being a South Indian didn't had much idea of it, moreover Shashi also being the bahu of a south indian family never kept this fast... But now that Nandu was already engaged, she was half way down to become a Malhotra, and she was herself very excited for this fast.. This brought a sense of more togetherness to her, and she happily wanted to keep the fast for Manik...

Karvachauth is a one-day festival celebrated by Hindu women in many countries in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands. The fast is traditionally celebrated in the states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, parts of Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab. The festival falls on the fourth day after the full moon, in the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Kartik. Sometimes, unmarried women join the fast for their fiancés or desired husbands.

As Nyonika has decided to celebrate this festival with Nandani, they all made a plan that they would visit Raman's farmhouse , which was in Madikeri... a very famous hill station in Karnataka... Raman and Shashi along with Aryaman and Nandu were already there by now... Nandu was on holidays as her semester end exams were to start after a month and a half... and almost all the syllabus etc was completed... so Nandu took this opportunity and took the holidays and decided to go for self study now, moreover dean being one of the close friends of Mr. Murthy allowed this...

Nyonika also decided that they would spend two weeks or may be more if possible in Madikeri.... She was very excited for it.. Moreover Fab5's album was already released they had no other work as of now... So they all were free, free enough to spend two weeks relaxing in some hill station having fun... Aliya too wanted a outing with all of them beside her.. So therefore Nyonika took this decision...

Now it was decided that they would spend atleast of two weeks in the farmhouse enjoying themselves... and it would be Fab5, Nandu, Aryaman, Raj, Nyonika, Raman, Shashi, and ofcourse Daadu.... Aarush and Ayesha also wanted to come but it was not possible with Aaru and Chiya's classes going on and office work of Aarush too was there... so they couldn't afford to come... So it was just them...
