With the help of nandini and navya, they successfully completed cooking yummy foods.
All sat on the dining table to taste their food. But nandini excused herself and went inside the kitchen. Manik noticed and left behind her. No one noticed him leaving because all of their focus were only on the foods.

At kitchen:

Nandini was trying to grab tea powder, which she couldn't get. She was jumping standing there. It was noticed by manik. He was smiling at her cute doings. He came near her and called.

Manik: "Nandu!?", in her ears in a very low voice.

Nandini was taken a step back in shock. She was shocked and sighed in relief knowing it was manik.

Nandini: "You startled me, manik.", she said in the same tone as manik.

Manik: "BTW what are you trying to do!?", asked controlling his laugh.

Nandini: "I want to make tea for nyo aunty. But this tea powder is far for my reach.", she said pouting.

Manik melted looking at her pout. He was admiring her cute face and her pout. Nandini noticed that he is lost somewhere so she called.

Nandini: "Manik!?", called him by shaking his hand.

Manik: "Haan yes nandu. You were speaking. That tea....yeah...tea powder...you want me to grab it!?", said looking here and there to avoid the awkwardness he created.

Nandini controlled her smile and nodded her head.

He nodded again and grabbed the tea powder and handed it to her without breaking their eye contact.

Nandini: Manik, you want tea!?

Manik: Ofcourse I do want nandu.

Nandini smiled and handed a cup to him.
He took it happily.

Nandini: "Manik, I'll go, give it to nyo aunty and come.", she said in a sweet tone.

Manik nodded taking a sip of tea. She smiled and went.

At nyonika's room:

Nandini knocked the door and went inside. Nyonika woke up by the knock. She tried to sit.

Nandini: How are you now, aunty!?

Nyonika: Feeling a bit better nandu.

Nandini: ok aunty. Drink this tea. You will feel much better.

Nyonika: "Nandu beta, why are you doing all this? I would've made it for me nah!?", she said lovingly.

Nandini: it's ok aunty. Take rest.

Nyonika: "Thankyou nandu", saying she kissed her head.

Nandini smiled and left her room.
She came to kitchen to see manik is still sitting and enjoy drinking the tea.

Nandini: Manik, you are still drinking!?

Manik: what to do nandu!? It exactly tastes like mom's.

Nandini smiled and said thank you.

Manik: hows mom!? I'll go and check on her.

Nandini: ok manik. Aunty said She is feeling better now.

Manik: ok nandu. Come let's join everyone. You must be hungry. You didnt eat anything.

Nandini smiled and went.
All had snacks and went to their rooms and had fun.

On the other side:

Dhruv took aliya to the cafe.
They both were having random talks.

Aliya: BTW Dhruv, why did you take me alone!? We could've come with everyone nah!?

Dhruv: Why aliya!? Are you bored this soon!?

Aliya: No dhruv I didnt mean that. I asked like why lying to everyone and sneaking around!?

Dhruv: "I wanted to spend some time with you aliya. That's why.", he said looking straight into her eyes.

Aliya looked down shyly and said ok.

Then they spoke about random things.
Their day went like that.
Soon it was evening, for which dhruv was waiting for.

They went to a restaurant.
Both settled and ordered their food.
Dhruv was hell nervous. He was constantly thinking about how's he gonna confess her. Aliya noticed his tensed face and held his hands. Dhruv looked at her and she smiled. Both had dinner with random talks. They ordered desserts. Dhruv held her by knuckles and spoke.

Dhruv: "Aliya, We have been together since childhood. We grew up together. I've seen every shades of you. And you've seen mine. And I know I am not perfect. But I know together we can live a perfect life. Though I have a lots of things to say, but my words are hiding from me. But I know one thing for sure is I can't live without you. Sooo", he stood up from his seat and bent on his knees taking a small box out from his pocket.

Aliya was shocked to the core. She was frozen outside. But inside she was on cloud nine.

Dhruv: "Sooo, Ms. Aliya Saxena, would you like to spend the rest of your life with me!?", Said looking at her intensely.

She was in urge to cry. Tears were brimming in her eyes.

Aliya: "Yes, I would love to dhruv.", she said letting out her tears of joy.
