AAfter 3 months, 

Their routine life was going on as usual, with family time and Manan trying for a baby. But the results weren't coming their way. However, Manik never let Nandini feel down. Whenever Nandini got sad after checking the pregnancy kit, he always said, "Don't worry, Nandini. It will happen with time. We shouldn't rush it." Nandini would smile, but deep inside, they both knew how eagerly they were waiting for a baby.

Today was just like any other day, but Nandini was late for her periods and was feeling nauseous. She decided to check for pregnancy inside the washroom while Manik stood outside, nervously pacing around the room. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door opening. Nandini was standing there with tears in her eyes, and he understood that the results weren't what they had hoped for.

Manik went to her, hugged her, and said, "Shhh, bacha, it's okay. We still have time to become parents."

Nandini, crying, asked, "But Manik, why? I wanted to be a mother. Why is this not happening? We've been trying, so why?"

Manik tried to comfort her, saying, "Relax, bacha. You know, when God feels that we are capable of being parents, he will definitely bless us with a baby. Now, give me a real smile."

Nandini managed to smile a bit, but Manik insisted on a genuine smile. Nandini shook her head, indicating that she couldn't.

Manik playfully said, "Now it will come," and he started tickling her. Laughter filled the room as they tickled each other. After some time, he stopped and they hugged each other tightly. Deep down, they knew it was difficult, but as long as they were together, they believed that everything would be alright.

Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Manik went to open it, while Nandini went to the washroom to clean her face. It was Nyonika standing there.

Manik said, "Come in, Mom. If you had some work, you could have called me."

Nyonika replied, "Why can't I come into my son's room?"

Manik reassured her, "Mom, it's not like that. You can come to my room anytime."

Nyonika asked, "By the way, where is Nandini?"

Manik answered, "She's in the washroom. "oh here she came

Nyonika continued, "Alright, listen, both of you. Mrs. Khanna called. You know her, right?"

Manan replied, "Yes."

Nyonika said, "Her grandson (pota) Rajveer's son naming ceremony is today, and she has invited us. Your dad and I are busy with some work, so can you both go with Mom?"

Nandini agreed, saying, "Yes, Mom. We will go."

Manik, playfully whining, asked, "Mom, is it necessary to go?"

Nyonika explained, "Yes, Manik. They are our good family friends."

Manik reluctantly said, "Okay, Mom."

Nyonika said, "Alright, get ready, both of you. I'll let Mom know that you're getting ready."

Nyonika left, and Nandini encouraged Manik to get up and get ready. Manik went to freshen up while Nandini selected his clothes. She changed into a ruffled saree and laid out Manik's suit. She stood near the mirror, getting ready herself, when Manik came out of the washroom, wearing just a towel.

Nandini, sensing his presence, looked in the mirror and saw Manik standing there. He said, "Do you know how beautiful you look? Do you have any idea how I'm restraining myself from taking over right now?"

Nandini blushed and turned around, hugging him. Manik hugged her back, smiling at her shy nature.

Manik said, "You still blush like a newly married wife."

Nandini replied, "Manik, stop teasing. Take your clothes and get changed. Mom will call us anytime."

Manik didn't want to tease her further, knowing that Mom would call them soon. He took his clothes and started getting ready there, in front of Nandini. He dropped his towel, and Nandini closed her eyes, telling him to change inside.

Manik teased her, saying, "Oh, come on, Nandini. You're shy as if you haven't seen anything." He laughed, and Nandini blushed even more, turning around to do her makeup. Manik wore his clothes, and Nandini watched him through the mirror.

Manik said, "Oh, you can shamelessly look at me through the mirror, but you're shy when you see me face-to-face. Why, why?"

Nandini laughed at his antics and gestured for him to apply vermillion on her forehead. Manik happily obliged, applying the vermillion and kissing her forehead. He said, "Baby, you're looking so beautiful."

Nandini replied, "You're looking handsome too, Manik. Okay, now let me apply lipstick."

Manik suggested, "Don't apply it now. It'll get smudged."

Nandini asked, "How?"

Manik leaned closer and demonstrated by kissing her passionately. After catching their breath, they broke the kiss and hugged each other. They heard Nyonika calling them, and reluctantly let go of each other. Nandini applied her lipstick, and they went downstairs.

After reaching downstairs, Manik and Nandini found Dadi Ji and Nyonika waiting for them.

Dadi said, "Haye mera Manu, you're looking so handsome. Kisi ki nazar na lage." She kissed his forehead.

Manik replied, "Aww, thank you, Dadi. And you're looking like a total diva yourself."

Dadi playfully scolded him, saying, "Hai, badmaash!"

Nyonika added, "Absolutely, Manik. You look so handsome, and Nandini looks stunning, my child."

Manik and Nandini thanked Nyonika for the compliments.

Dadi turned to Nandini and commented, "Nandini, everything else is fine, but why did you choose such a dull saree? Don't you want to look like a Mahlotra?"

Nandini's face fell upon hearing this, and both Manik and Nyonika noticed her disappointment.

Manik quickly intervened, saying, "Dadi, she looks amazing in this saree. Nowadays, this is the fashion trend. You'll see everyone dressed like this at the event."

Nyonika agreed, "Absolutely, Dadi Ji. Nandini looks perfectly dressed according to the Mahlotra style."

Dadi responded, "You all know better. Anyway, who listens to me? You two never listen to me when it comes to Nandini."

Nandini spoke up, "Dadi, it's okay. I'll go and change right now."

Manik tried to stop her, but Nandini whispered to him, "It's alright, Manik. It's just about the saree. If it makes Dadi happy, what else do we need? I'll go and change."

Manik nodded in agreement and thought to himself, "What a girl! She changed herself completely for our marriage. Sometimes, I wonder how much girls transform themselves after marriage to fit into their in-laws' expectations, even though they have to go through so much in their lives."

Dadi then suggested, "Listen, wear that dark-colored and heavy saree that I gave you last month for Karwa Chauth. You didn't wear it that day, right?"

Nandini replied softly, "Yes, Dadi."

Nandini went upstairs to change, and Manik was about to follow her, but Dadi interrupted and said, "Wait, Manu. She will come. Why are you always behind your wife? Sit here and talk to me."

Manik sat down half-heartedly, obliged to spend time with Dadi. Nyonika mentioned that she had some work at the NGO and left the room.

Dadi then said, "By the way, Mannu, when are you going to make me a great-grandmother? I've been waiting for so long to hold my great-grandchild in my arms."

Manik replied, "Why, Dadi? Have you gotten bored of being a grandmother to your grandson already?"

Dadi said, "Can it ever happen that I get bored of my Mannu? You are the apple of my eye. But now, it's been five years since your marriage. Let me become a great-grandmother once. Let me see the face of my great-grandchild. Who knows how much time I have left?"

Manik replied, "Why are you talking like this, Dadi? You'll get to see the face of your great-grandchild, and we'll have a lot of fun together. Right now, my Dadi is young."

Dadi playfully scolded him, saying, "Hai, badmaash!"

Meanwhile, Nandini was coming back downstairs, and Dadi noticed her.

Dadi exclaimed, "Look, now she looks like a Mahlotra's daughter-in-law."

Manik smiled because he knew that Nandini didn't like this type of sarees, and he also wasn't a fan of heavy sarees. But they both happily changed themselves for the sake of their family.

Dadi said, "Let's go, it's getting late."

Manan replied, "Yes."

They all got into the car, with Manik at the driving seat, Nandini sitting beside him, and Dadi in the back seat.
