At the Sri Muktsar Sahib
This is the place where the Mela of Maghi will be held every year. People buy lots of things from here. They get things from antiques to modern. It includes show pieces to garments..
Everyone bought many things from the stores and went back home. Since they were tired after walking they left to bed sooner they got inside the home.
In the Bungalow
Manik stood outside a room and knocked at it. A lady came out of the room and looked at Manik with a confused face..
Lady ( confused ): Manik..beta tum yaha..? Sab teek hai na..?
Manik ( smiled ): Everything is fine Mom..Don't panic..I just wanted to give you something..
Nyonika ( raised her eyebrow ): You wanted give something..? What is it..?
He gave her a box and gestured to open it..She opened it and looked shocked..
Nyonika ( shocked ): Manu..ye tho wahi necklace hai jo aaj Nandu ne mere liye chodi thi..Ye tum..kaise..?
Manik ( smiled ): I bought it
Manik ( smiled ): I bought it..for you..Nyonika ( nodded in No ): Me..? No Manu..you shouldn't have..I can't take it..She did like it but was just leaving it for me..No, I won't take it..
Manik ( smiled ): You love her a lot..right..?
Nyonika ( smiled ): I do..she is just like Mukti for me..And so I won't take it..
Manik ( took her hands ): I bought it for you..and by that 'you' means ' You and her '..
Nyonika ( gave a look ): Her...?
Manik ( smiled ): You and Nandini..you know..I have heard that the mother-in-law gives some kind of gifts like jewelry to their future daughter-in-law as shagun..so I thought you could wear it first and then once she comes into our house you could give it as her shagun, in the sense you both could wear it..
Nyonika looked at her son in awe..Her son knew how to make his mom happy, at the same time he didn't want to make his Love sad so he did what he should..Nyonika kissed his forehead..
Nyonika ( teased ): Waise..daughter-in-law and all..haan..
Manik ( blushed ): Mom..you know..that I never felt the way I had for her..
Nyonika ( Smiled ): Of course I know..And I knew that you both will be together one day..You have my blessing..
Manik ( kissed her knuckles ): I need only that Mom, plus your Love..
She nodded with a smile and he bade good night to her and went away. This sweet conversation between the Mother-son duo was seen by the Murthy Brothers who were smiling like fools by now..
Sid ( smiled ): I never thought I would say it..' I am sure Manik is the one for my baby '..
Om ( smiled ): Well, I knew that the moment I have seen them together for the first time..
Rithvik ( smiled ): What do you think Bhai..?
Asad ( looked at him ): Al I want is her happiness and if Manik could give it then do you think will I snatch it away from her..?
Viren ( smiled ): Hell, No bhai..
They smiled at each other and bade good night..
In Nandini's room
Nandini was lying on her right side when she felt something on her neck..She bent a bit to look at her neck and took that thing in her hand and smiled when she felt his hand on her nape..
He hovered over her after tying it and looked at her with that thing on her neck..
Manik ( kissed her forehead ): You look beautiful..
She smiled and kissed his cheeks in return..He smiled and showed something to her..
Manik: I want you tie it for me..
Nandini ( smiled ): Okay..
She made him wear it and looked at him..( The heart is of her's and the key is his with the letter N)
Nandini ( snaked her hands around his neck ): You look perfect, it looks like we are saying to the world that we belong to each other
Nandini ( snaked her hands around his neck ): You look perfect, it looks like we are saying to the world that we belong to each other..Manik ( raised his eyebrow ): Don't we..?
Nandini ( smiled ): Of course we do..But why such a sudden gift..?
Manik ( smiled ): You left that necklace for Mom, so I thought why don't I buy something thoughtful in order to make you happy..
Nandini ( avoided eye contact): I didn't..leave..it for Nyoni mumma..I didn't like it..
He raised her chin and kissed over there..
Manik ( caressed her cheek ): Don't you trust me enough to let the truth out..?
Nandini ( nodded in No immediately ): Nothing like that Mani..( she sighed ) I didn't want you to think like that..I knew you would feel bad..I mean you can't chose anyone among us..So I just didn't want to bother..
Manik ( smiled ): Pehli baath, whatever you do will never create a problem for me, it doesn't bother..It bothers only when you hide something from me, even if its for my happiness cause I know its a sacrifice of yours which I don't like..And about choosing..I can't chose but I know how to make both of you happy..
Nandini ( confused ): How..?
Manik ( grinned ): You will get to know once our problem get solved..
Nandu ( confused ): Problem..? What problem do we have Mani..?
Manik ( looked at her ): Arey, did you forget..we need to get our broken family into one..Appa and Mumma should get together with DJ..
Nandini could just smile in tears..He considers her problems as his..He is there to help her to get their family into one again..She could just place her lips on his making him surprise first but then kissed her back once he got to know the reason..
She broke the kiss and hugged him..
Nandini ( smiled ): I know you will be with me Mani..
Manik ( smiled ): And I don't break my promises..
He looked into her eyes intensely and bent to her neck and kissed there..
He caressed her cheeks lovingly and she stared at him with a beautiful smile on her lips. She always felt lucky to have him as hers.
Manik: What?
Nandini: Nothing. I just am so happy when I'm with you. Thank you for that.
Manik: Hey, when did we become so formal. Mujhe nahi pasand wo sab.
She giggled at his choice of words. Nevertheless, she kept her head on his chest and closed her eyes with a smile on her face..
Nandu ( sweetly ): Good night Mani..
Manik ( kissed her hair ): Good night baby girl..
They slept in each others arms peacefully to welcome another day of their life, together..
