"Finally I get into my normal wear" Nandini said taking out her jewellery

"In that case I was lucky that I got to wear tank top and jeans" Jeff said happily twirling

"Even me" Navya said doing hie-fi with Jeff teasing Nandini

"Yeah whatever" Nandini said rolling her eyes

"By the way Nandu why are you irritated with your wearing I mean you didn't changed the dress right so" Jeff asked Nandini teasingly pointing towards Navya to do the same

"Jeff understand you why Nandini is sad because she went in this dress even after many trails" Navya said mischievously but ended up laughing while Nandini went her encounter with Manik in photoshoot

"Ouch" Nandini said as her leg twisted while getting up from the chair near the piano

"Are you okay" Manik said supporting Nandini while Nandini smiled seeing his gesture

"Yeah I am okay and it's normal when me wearing extra long skirt then my feet but without heels because of my clumsiness" Nandini said giggling

"But it's not normal I mean I am challenge you that I am way more clumsy then you but when it comes to your health you should take care if your self" Manik said concerned and little bit strictly

"Sorry sorry I couldn't stop my self from laughing I mean you are exactly behaving like my Dad" Nandini said giggling "You know I thought you be arrogant person not concerned for anyone types"

"Aah so is this what you think about me" Manik said with a smirk coming near her while Nandini leaned backwards near to piano while Manik hovered her "Tell na what more you think about me"

"I... I..." Nandini fumbled due to the proximity while Manik enjoyed her condition

"Okay Okay fine I won't tease you and about the arrogant thing then yes I am arrogant but that doesn't me that my intention is to harm someone" Manik said standing up while Nandini composed herself "And if you wanna know me you have to have a date with me"

"Date with you never" Nandini said teasing him

"Oh so you are challenging me" Manik said coming near her

"Off course" Nandini said confindently while Manik smirked

"Okay then see you at night wether it's your wish or not" Manik said in her ear as he pulled her closer by his hands

"Nandini Nandini" Jeff said shaking Nandini bringing her back from the memory lane

"Huh" Nandini said coming back from her recent encounter with Manik

"What huh where were you lost we were calling you since so long" Navya said looking at Nandini

"Oh that nothing let's go se even have to meet Raina's parents right" Nandini said changing the topic and literally dragging him

"How are you long time no see" Nyonika said hugging Raina's Mom

"Di you are saying as if only I am the culprit" Raina Mom said pouting breaking the hug

"Okay okay sorry my mistake sorry" Nyonika said making Raina Mom grin "By the way Mansi what's the reason of sudden visit"

(Dalljiet Kaur as Mansi Dixit)

"Raina called me and said she wants a party only with us and her Bhabhi's" Mansi said while Raina gave the most innocent look

"Oh I get it but for the bacholars party it has time" Nyonika said winking mischievously

"Oh yes before Raina's marriage right" Mansi said mischiviously

"Haww Mom Masi it would be too late I mean I still have 3 years to plan for it" Raina said making a puppy face

"But we never said that when you will get married before that only we will bachelor party I mean before your marriage can mean 1 day before Manik's marriage" Nyonika said casually though she was teasing Raina while Raina pouted understanding their mischief

"You two are too bad when ever you two come together tease me bye I won't talk to you any more" Raina said going away angrily while both the ladies laughed at her childishness

"You stay here I will go and monfy her" Mansi said making Nyonika nod and she left

"I won't talk to her always teases me" Raina murmered angrily

"Hold on girl what happened" Jeff said who was passing by but hearing Raina she stopped

"Woh actually I met my Mom and from the time I met she is trading me" Raina said pouting angrily

"Oh how lucky that your Mom has time to play with you because my Mom doesn't have" Jeff said sadly

"What I mean why" Raina asked curious as well as concerned

"Nothing much Mom is busy in her work everyday and in the time left she though spends it with me but she being tired I can't afford to force her to play or talk with me for a long time" Jeff said shrugging of her shoulder 

"Oh by the way where is Di and Bhabi" Raina said changing the topic as well as her mood

"She and Navya were coming but on the way Cabir Jiju called them" Jeff said making Raina nod

"When he wanted to talk only with her then why he called me Ayyiaapa these two love birds" Nandini murmured coming only to get banged "Sorry" she said without looking at the person

"From when did you started saying me sorry instead of love you" Mansi said caressing her hair

"Mom you came" Nandini said excitedly like a kid hugging her

"Yeah I came and you know the real reason behind me coming here" Mansi said while Nandini looked at her in confusion "Aree when your Dad was planning to talk about your marriage with my sister's son then I said not to talk about it to them but let you attend here and prove that you both deserve each other so I called Di and managed to force about the marriage thing without disclosing your Dad's plan and see you are here" Mansi completed only to see Nandini pouting and she knew what was coming next

"But then if they didn't knew about me then how come at first sight they were so attracted to me? And why they only choosed the age group of 21? And why did Dad only choosed Malhotra family for my marriage and if he Did why at first place he was so lost like something was happening without his knowledge" Nandini asked to Mansi like a cute little child while Mansi chuckled at her still child like behaviour

"Okay so first question answer is they might be attracted to you because of your aura second they choosed the age group of 21 only because when Di asked me which age group she should choose I suggested her your Dad choosed Malhotra Empire because even in the every year board chart we can easily see Malhotra's at no. 1 and Murthy's at no. 2 so it's proven right if anyone is better then him and safer for you is to enter Malhotra Empire and about being lost then it's your fault" Mansi said looking at Nandini while she gave a confused look

"Me how believe me I am innocent" Nandini said blinking her lashes gesturing I-the-most-innocent-girl-in-the-world

"Really then who faked a story about the story about the Malhotra Empire insulting someone without any reason but just because their ego was hurt" Mansi asked folding her arms cross her chest while Nandini gave her an innocent puppy face

"Ooooo that I was toh just joking" Nandini said smiling sheepishly

"Really were you fooling them or yourself by the thought you just came here to see how this place is come on spill the beans" Mansi said suspiciously while Nandini knew now there is no back out

"Actually I admire Manik a lot when I first saw him at the age of 18 and when they called personally to meet prince so I couldn't stop myself and thus I build up a story" Nandini said in a go while Mansi just smiled

"You two stupid kids" Mansi said ruffling her hair "Now come we are already late" She said taking Nandini in hall

"So Prince and Princesses King and Queen's there is a special announcement like a bonus point so in this part which ever princess has scored the highest marks have a lucky chance to have a date with the prince tonight" The host said making every princess happy

"Wow finally I can meet prince because I know no one can score better then me but why didn't the dress fall in photoshoot specially when I checked it did Nandini got to no about it no if she must have then she would have arranged another dress but that was the same dress I have to find out" Rachel thought confused

"You seriously thought that everything can go according to you Ms. Rachel then you are absolutely wrong" Veebha thought looking at Rachel's body language

"Why didn't Rachel's plan didn't work if it would have worked I would prove everyone that she did it and she would have been disqualified s***" Soha thought gritting her teeth

"So the name is..... Nandini Murthy" The host announced making everyone come back from their thoughts only to get shocked maybe because down the line all princesses knew that Nandini was the best while Manik kept smirking

"Look how he is smirking I sure he must have only done something" Nandini thought with a bad face

"Wow means how always you two land up together but anyways let's go we have to get ready for your date" Navya said excited
