London 

soon after the meeting with Aryamann , manik and nandini reached their flat , both of them freshened themselves and had their snacks and sat on the living room couch watching Netflix . 

nandini was thinking whether to tell manik about aryamann behavior or not , manik called nandini 2 to 3 times but there is no response as she was lost , manik again tried by shaking her and called her 

man - nandini 

nandini came out of trance and heard manik is calling her 

nandini - yes 

man - what happened ? where are you lost ? 

nan - no where 

manik cupped her face and 

man - don't tell me that i know u are off from the time we came from the khurana industries

nan - manu actually what happened was and she said how aryaman was starting at her and how he winked at her at last while they are coming back 

manik was very angry listening to this seeing him anger nandini know manik will surely back off from the project as expected he said 

man - that bastard , lets off this project and saying this he took his mobile to call aman to say about the cancelling the project but nandini took from him 

man - baby 

nan - no manu you not doing that 

man - y think like that ? 

nan - manu we know how much this project means for our both companies and again if he does something lets take action and now we don't have strong reason to back off 

man - you think i will wait for that moment , where he does something , NO 

nan -  i am not telling like that may be first impression would be wrong we never know right so and from tomorrow onwards either we will be working at your place or mine so we need to face him only when we need to give the presentation right so lets see 

man - hmm but if does anything na you will not stop me and i will not leave him 

nan - okay baba i will not , so smile 

manik was still grumpy 

nan - why so grumpy 

man  - nothing 

nan - arey then smile na 

manik was not smiling so nandini started to tickle him 

man - what are you doing 

nan - tickling 

man - i dont feel tickle ha ha ha (typical manik dialogue ) 

nan - ittu sa bhi nahi 

man - tch 

nan - lets try 

and she started tickling him hard and manik was feeling ticklish and soon he too took her in his arms and started tickling her 

after tickling soon  both laid on the couch in each other arms and both kissed and drifted into small nap 

soon the days passed both manik and nandini team were working on that project and the project is going fine 

one day 

manik and nandini were working on the project in Malhotra industries and both manik and nandini were seated in the manik cabin , Aman came inside and said that aryamann came to visit hearing nandini and manik frowned why did he came at this time and manik said to send him in 

Aman left the cabin and manik observed nandini as she felt uncomfortable , manik got up from his chair went near her and took her in a hug and nandini too hugged him keeping her head on his chest . 

man - baby chill , i am there na with you if you feel anything wrong then just look at me remaining i will manage 

nandini nodded in yes 

they broke the hug as they heard the knocking sound and both straightened themselves  and manik said come in , soon aryamann entered inside manik cabin 

Man - Hello Khurana 

Aryaman - Hello Malhotra and Murthy ( and he was checking out nandini )

Nan - hello 

Aryaman - looking pretty Ms.Murthy 

Nandini Attire 

nandini smiled and slightly she went back to manik 

manik was keeping his eye on aryaman from the time he have entered into the cabin 

man - so u here 

Arya - Yes malhotra , i was passing by so thought to come and ask about the progress of the project 

man - oh ok so our best team is working on the  project 

arya - so can i see till what level the progress came 

man - yes 

saying this they went to the discussion room and manik called all the leads who are working on the project 

all of them are seated ( manik , nandini and aryaman at the opposite ) 

soon the leads came before and they explained on which part of the project they were working on and after that all the leads went as aryaman asked for some changes and manik said to work on those changes and after that manik and nandini were showing them how the entire project looks like on a chart , so all are now standing and nandini was explaining them showing all the things and aryaman was asking the doubts like where nandini is showing aryaman was touching her hand and making her uncomfortable , for 2 times nandini took it li8 and but aryaman was constantly doing the same thing and she looked at aryamann and she observed a smirk on his face and understood what he is up to and on the other hand manik was keeping eye on the movements of aryamann and every time when he touched nandini hand he wanted to punch aryamann face but he controlled himself not to make a scene in front of the employees . 

when aryaman was about to ask a doubt to nandini , seeing his intentions manik came in middle and asked nandini to come into his place and he went to her place and manik clarified , nandini signed in relief 

soon aryaman left the conference room , now only manik and nandini were there 

manik went near her and cupped her face 

man - are you okay 

nandini nodded and hugged him , manik too hugged her 

nan - now i am fine , but honestly i felt weird and disgusting whenever he touch me , and there was smirk on his face 

man - baby if you are not fine then lets cancel this project 

nan - no manu already we are in the middle of the project and if we cancel then it will leak in the media and they will project into another tangent and it will become a huge mess 

man - that i will take care 

nan - no manu , than that mess its better lets complete this project as soon as possible .
