Manik decided to drop Nandini home. while returning back in the car...

manik: nandu. take this.

he handed her a packet.

nandu: what's this?

manik: a gift for you. wear this tomorrow evening and be ready. I will pick you up.

nandu opened the packet and touched the fabric. the dress seem to be very beautiful to her.

a smile played on her lips.

manik: you like it?

nandu: haan. I think it will be good on me. but why all these?

manik: that's for me to know & you to find out.

nandini: Huh...

manik: you'll get to know tomorrow nandu. now relax. don't stress yourself much.

next day at evening...

nandini was waiting for manik and finally he came.

nandini: don't you think you are LATE?

manik: sorry nandu. I was just talking to your parents.

nandu: about what?

manik: arey. for permission. I am taking you with me tonight. permission is needed.

nandini: main kitni baar bahar ja chuki hu tumhaare saath. kya jaroorat thi permission ki?

manik: you won't understand nandu. chalo aab.

he escorted nandu towards his car and they left for their destination.

the place manik took her was beautifully decorated.

(something like this. imagine as you wish.)

nandini couldn't see all this. so she kept touching everything to feel. silently praying if she could see also.

manik made sure she doesn't get hurt by anything.

manik took her hand and they reached a place by walk.

manik n nandini sat in a boat kind of thing.

they reached a place which was surrounded with water every side.

manik: let's eat first. nandu. then I will take you to rest of the places.

nandu: o..kayy....

manik: come sit now.

manik made her sit on the chair and pushed it front like a gentleman.

they had food and then again sat on the boat. they reached the previous place. manik took her to an open area.

there was a Swing.

it was hanging with the support of a tree branch.

manik made her sit on it properly. then started to push the swing a little. slowly slowly.

cool wind was blowing and nandini was enjoying both things. happy smile was on her face when manik decided to start speaking.
