"No not this one turn the page" Nandini said to the henna artist while she turned the page "Na next one" Nandini viewing at the image

"Tch how much more time" Navya said coming near Nandini irritated

"See na I am not getting any perfect design for my palm and feet" Nandini cribbed looking at the images

"Let me see what's the actual problem is" Navya said showing her hand to give the book

"No-No need you must be busy right you go and work I will manage" Nandini said holding the book very tightly close to her

"Aree Nandini no problem I will help you moreover you know a friend in need is a friend indeed" Navya said as Jeff snatched the book away successfully

"Ohhh so this is the reason you are not liking any of these designs" Jeff teased Nandini as she looked down due to embarrassment and also shyness as Jeff saw phone on the current page she was looking at and also Manik was there on the video call

"H-Hi J-Jeff" Manik said said giving an fake smile trying to reduce the awkwardness

"Hi Jiju how are you and why are you disturbing Navya you should instead talk to me you know after all I am your sali (husband's wife's sister) but for now as all are busy we will talk to you later bye" Jeff said picking up the phone and talking to Manik with fake sadness while Navya was laughing her heart out

"No no need you both go" Nandini said jumping in between snatching her phone away making Jeff and Navya laugh and go away and Nandini again sat on her seat and started to show Manik the designs

"Not this one it's okay okay" Manik said said looking at the image making faces

"Manik it's been so long please do it fast I am getting bored" Nandini cribbed looking at him as she was now getting bored

"Okay okay not teasing you more this one I like this now I will keep the phone but don't forget to send me your photo" Manik said with a chuckle while Nandini glared at him cause she now knew he was doing all this just to irritate her as he choosed the design which he refused to select few minutes ago after that they both kept the phone and Nandini giving the henna artist what to make sad down peacefully seeing design which the artist were making

"Did Manik selected this" Navya asked Nandini after the design was made while Nandini nodded proudly

"It's really beautiful" Jeff said admiring the mehendi

"And am sure after you wash it away it's colour would be dark brown" Navya said making Nandini blush as bit and look at her henna

"No more dark after all we all know how much Jiju love Nandini" Jeff said making Nandini give competition to tomatoes cherries apples and anything which is of red colour

"Because my Di and my bhai are the best" Raina said coming from behind and hugging Nandini while hearing to Raina Jeff and Navya started to laugh "Why are you both laughing"

"We both know your relationship with the families is complicated but atleast now don't say bhai and di it's more like they are gonna be siblings" Navya said as she continued to laugh with Jeff while Raina pouted as they were teasing her and Nandini was left embarrassed

"You both are so bad you both are teasing me like Manik" Nandini said cribbing for the 3rd time in this day

"Di are you alright" Rishab said coming near Nandini and checking her forehead

"What would happen to me" Nandini said shaking her head in tend to remove his hand from her head

"Di you are behaving like us which you don't" Raina said while others nodded in agreement

"Because after your mother's death she thought someone has to take care of us and be strong so she sacrificed her childishness for us but now Manik being around brought up her childishness also" Prem said coming from behind and patting Nandini's head while she closed her eyes feeling father's warmly touch

"Also because now I know now you all can leave without me" Nandini said looking at Raina Rishab and Prem sweetly

"Hey never say that maybe you may go away but you would never go away from our hearts" Prem said showing his finger strictly while she nodded cutely

"Dad does every bride has to face this happiness of having a big family but sadness of leaving the ones with whom you have lived since you were born" Nandini said keeping her head oh his chest

"Yes" Prem said with a sigh as Nandini looked at him

"Why does it happens with girls only" Nandini said lost in her thoughts

"Maybe because girls are very strong to have the ability to endure everything unlike we who just to show the people wear a mask even if we are coward than anyone else" Prem explained Nandini looking at her with outmost love

"Dad I still remember the way you used roam me around making me sit on your shoulders" Nandini said looking closing her her eyes with a smile lingering on her face after a pause

"And I still remember when you entered in this home for the first time in arms" Prem said looking at the sky remembering the day when he for the first time entered his home with his love and his princess

Both had a content smile on their faces later Rishab Jeff Raina Navya also started to talk to them and even had a group hug in between lots of selfies and stories

Here in Malhotra mansion after Manik selected a henna design for Nandini he heard his Mom calling him "Manik come here"

"Yes Mom do you need anything" Manik said coming Nyonika

"Nothing much just select any henna design and apply it on your hand" Nyonika said showing him the henna book and a henna artist sitting beside Nyonika while Cabir who heard this spitted his drink out

"What me" Manik said freaking out explaining reasons to Nyonika to be save from the torcher "isn't it only for girls"

"Who say that come here and sit I don't want to see any of your more tantrums" Nyonika said pulling Manik beside him while Cabir was looking at them curiously like a movie was going on and eating the imaginary popcorns

"Okay" Manik said looking at a specific design that changed his mind from denying his mother while the henna artist started her work as soon as Manik said to draw his selected design

"Now I know why you agreed" Cabir said looking at Manik's hand after the henna design was completed

"Whatever" Manik said giving him a bored look while Cabir gritted his teeth

"Haye Mera Sona Munda (my dear grandson)" Sheetal said proudly looking at her grandson as usually when boys are said to apply henna they show lot of tantrums unlike Manik

"Aaj toh hum jamke nachenge (toady we will dance very hard)" Mansi said looking at the beautiful setup for Sangeet

(A/N: there is usually only ladies Sangeet which you can also call it at bachelor's party for girls and boys have their own if they wish but as I wanted Sangeet in which both MaNan are present plus Bachelor's party so I am cancelling the idea of ladies Sangeet and keeping Sangeet and Bachelor's party separately)

"Manik remember we have to win today" Cabir said looking at his family rubbing his hands but in return he didn't get any response but before he could look for the reason he was interrupted

"Today girls win" Navya said cutting Cabir's conversation and that led to a fight between them of who will win

"Will you guys shut up for God sake" Jeff said having enough of both of them

"By the way for whom we are fight where are they" Raina said looking at the group formed while fighting and they turned around to see them they witnessed the reason why didn't they take part in the fight of who would win

"Today na I don't know why but I am getting a feeling like I felt when I danced with you for the first time" Nandini looking down blushing and also due to nervousness

"Maybe because at that time was the first time we felt the spark around us and now we will start our new life" Manik said making Nandini look at him and smile

"Oh hello it's not the time of hum saath saath hai (we are together) but its time for Jani Dushman (bitter enemy)" Cabir said separating them and making them understand their role for today
