Some days have passed, but Dadi still hasn't talked about the marriage to anyone. However, her behavior towards Nandini remains the same, indicating that she is just waiting for the right time. Meanwhile, Aneri keeps whispering in her ear, further influencing Dadi's thoughts. Moreover, Dadi has met Niharika, and since that day, she desires to have her as a daughter-in-law, no matter what.

Flashback: Dadi meeting Niharika Aneri - Chal Shalini, aj tujhe apni natin se milati hu.

Dadi - Haan, jaldi mujhe milana hai usse.

Aneri - Dekh, voh rahi hai.

We can see the girl standing in front of the mandir, performing pooja.

After completing the pooja, Niharika comes in front of them and offers them prasad.

Aneri - (introducing) This is my niece, Niharika, and Niharika, this is my best friend, Shalini.

Niharika touches Dadi's feet and greets her with a respectful "Namaste," and Dadi blesses her.

Dadi - (smiling) She's such an adorable girl.

Niharika smiles and responds, "Dadi, you are also very lovely."

Aneri - (to Niharika) Niharika, I told you about the marriage, and she is the grandmother of the groom.

Niharika - (politely) Yes, Nani.

Dadi - (asking Niharika) Beta, are you ready for marriage? You know, right?

Niharika (sweetly) - Dadi, you don't need to worry. I know everything, and I have no objection to the marriage. In fact, I am happy that I can be of help to you. I want to give you all the happiness that Nandini di couldn't provide.

Dadi (impressed) - Oh, you are such a lovely girl. You must also have dreams about marriage.

Niharika - Dadi, my only dream is that everyone around me remains happy and content. You are my Nani's best friend, which means you are like family to me. I can do so much for you. I promise to make you a proud great-grandmother soon.

Dadi - (teary-eyed) Oh, you speak so nicely. Don't worry, dear. I will arrange your marriage with great pomp and splendor. I will fulfill all your wishes. You don't need to worry. Now, you are going to become a part of the Mahlotra family. Start preparing for it with enthusiasm!

The family continues to share heartfelt moments and discussions about the upcoming wedding, with everyone feeling a sense of joy and excitement.

Flashback ends

Dadi was lost in her thoughts and dreams. She wondered why she didn't find Niharika earlier; she could have gotten her married to Manik. Nevertheless, she saw this as an opportunity to rectify her mistake. She was just waiting for the right time to act. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

Nandini - (entering) Dadi, it's time for your medicines.

Dadi - Yes, give them to me. (As she tried to get up, she felt pain in her legs and let out a small scream) Ahh!

Nandini - Dadi, what happened? Is there pain somewhere?

Dadi - Yes, it's just my legs hurting. What can I do? I am getting old now.

Nandini - Why are you saying that? Let me give you a massage; then, you'll see the pain will vanish. After that, you can take your medicine. I'll warm some oil and be right back.

Dadi took her medicine while Nandini prepared the oil and then sat on the floor to massage Dadi's feet. Dadi felt relaxed and began to enjoy the massage.

Nandini - (checking) Dadi, how are you feeling now?

Dadi - (not fully appreciating her with her heart) It's better now. The pain is somewhat reduced, but what's the big deal? It's not like you put much effort into it. Let it be. What can I expect from you? (Though she really enjoyed the massage, she couldn't bring herself to fully appreciate Nandini due to her ego.)

Nandini didn't respond to Dadi's comment and said, "Dadi, let's go for breakfast; it's time."

The two then proceeded to have breakfast together.

Dadi - Listen.

Nandini - Yes, Dadi?

Dadi - Is Manik home?

Nandini - Yes, he's in his room, getting ready.

Dadi - Alright, good.

Nandini - Is there something you needed, Dadi?

Dadi - Yes, there's some work. I'll tell you during breakfast.

Nandini - Alright, Dadi. With this, Nandini takes her leave.

At the breakfast table, everyone is sitting and having their meal while Dadi speaks.

Dadi - Manik, do you have a lot of work at the office today?

Manik - No, Dadi, but why?

Dadi - Then don't go to the office today.

Manik - But why, Dadi?

Dadi - Aneri's niece is coming today, and I want you to meet her.

Manik - (playfully) What will I do meeting her?

Dadi - (teasing) She is of your age; she won't talk to an old lady like me. So, just stay back.

Manik- But nandini is there na

Dadi - But if you will also stay here what will be the issue.

Ayaan-Manik, if your dadi is saying, then you stay home too. I don't have much work at the office today, and it will be nice if the whole family is together.

Manik - (smiling) Alright, if you say so, I'll stay back and attend to her.

Manik - (agreeing) Okay, Dad.

Dadi is happy with their decision and leaves for her room. Ayaan also goes to his room, while Nyonika, Manik, and Nandini continue talking.

Nyonika - By the way, kids, when is your appointment with the doctor?

Manik - Mom, it's after tomorrow.

Nyonika - Alright. And Nandini, are you taking your medicines on time?

Nandini - Yes, Mom.

Manik - (curiously) By the way, who is this Aneri Dadi's niece who is making Dadi so happy?

Nyonika - Even I don't know. I came to know about it when you all did.

Manan - Okay.

Nyonika - Okay, I'll go check on Ayaan. You two rest in your rooms. Lunchtime is still far away.

Manan - Alright, Mom.

Manan room

Manan continued to talk randomly, and suddenly Nandini brought up a question.

Nandini - Manik, what do you want, a girl or a boy?

Manik - (looking at her affectionately) I want a cute girl, just like you, my munchkin.

Nandini - (playfully) But I want a boy, totally like you, your carbon copy.

Manik - (smiling) No, I want a girl, just like you. You know, my angel.

Nandini (blushing) - Alright, we'll see. But I have a feeling it will be a boy.

Manik - And my instinct is saying it will be a girl, for sure.

Nandini - Manik, I just pray that our wish comes true soon, whatever it may be, a girl or a boy.

Manik - (assuringly) And you know, Nandini, our wishes will come true very soon.

Nandini - By the way, Mani, do you remember Abeer?

Manik - Yes, how can I forget him?

Nandini started laughing.

Manik - (confused) What's so funny?

Nandini - (amused) I was just thinking about him.

Manik - (smirking) Oh, come on, don't remind me of those old days. We were such a fun bunch.

Nandini - (still laughing) Yes, we were. Good old times.

The couple continued reminiscing about their past, sharing laughter and sweet memories, eagerly looking forward to the future with their upcoming addition to the family.

Flashback

Manik - (shocked) Abeer! What have you done?

Abeer - (giggling) Manik uncle, look!

Manik couldn't help but laugh at the adorable mess Abeer had made, with lipstick all over his face and the walls.

Manik - (playfully) Oh no, we need to clean you up!

Manik takes a tissue and gently starts wiping off the lipstick from Abeer's face, making funny faces to keep him entertained. Meanwhile, Nandini comes out of the kitchen, and her eyes widen in surprise when she sees Abeer's artistic creation.

Nandini - (amused) Oh, Manik, what did Abeer do?

Manik - (chuckles) He decided to explore Nandini's lipstick collection and had some fun with it.

Nandini - (laughing) Aww, he's such a naughty little boy.

Manik - (smiling) Yes, he is. But he's cute and smart too.

Nandini takes out a wet cloth and helps Manik clean the lipstick marks from the walls. They both work together, laughing and chatting with Abeer, who is happily playing with his toys.

Nandini - (teasingly) Manik, looks like Abeer got a bit too creative.

Manik - (grinning) Yeah, he sure did. But he's just a little kid, and these things happen.

Nandini - (adoringly) He's indeed a bundle of joy.

Manik - (playfully) You know, Nandini, you better be prepared once our little one arrives. Who knows, they might take after Abeer's creativity.

Nandini - (giggling) Oh, I'm all set for that. Our baby can paint the walls with all the colors of the rainbow if they want to.

They share a sweet moment together, laughing and imagining their future with their own child, just as playful and mischievous as Abeer. They cherish these delightful moments with Abeer, grateful for the joy he brings into their lives.

( Imagine lipstick instead of colours )

Manik - Abeer, what have you done? (He shouts.)

Nandini - (coming up) What happened, Manik? Why did you shout?

Manik - (pointing towards Abeer) Ask him.

Nandini looks at Abeer and finds him looking adorable. She goes towards him and says, "Manik, he looks so cute." She then says to Abeer, "But baby, now you need to go to Nandini so that she can bathe you." Abeer starts giggling, making Nandini smile.

Nandini - Aww, it seems he wants to come to you, Manik. (She hands Abeer over to Manik.)

Manik takes Abeer in his arms, kisses his cheek, and says, "Oh, so this naughty baby wants to come to me."

He continues to kiss Abeer's cheek, and Abeer giggles as Manik's beard tickles him. Nandini admires the scene, finding it incredibly adorable.

While they are enjoying this playful moment, suddenly Manik feels something wet on his pants. He looks down and exclaims, "Abeer, you peed on me!" Abeer bursts into more laughter, finding Manik's expression funny, and Nandini can't help but laugh too.

Nandini - Manik, Abeer loves you so much. (She laughs.)

Manik (complaining) - What is this? I just took a bath!

Nandini - Aww, you're so cute when you crib. Go and change, and I'll get Abeer ready.

Manik goes inside the washroom, giving amused glances to Abeer, who is still giggling. Nandini gets Abeer ready while Manik comes out, and he sees Nandini and Abeer giggling together. He smiles and joins them.

Manik - What's happening here?

Nandini - Nothing, just like this.

The flashback of their day with Abeer continues, filled with laughter and chasing after the playful little boy.

Flashback ends, and they return to the present.

Nandini - Abeer was so cute, na?

Manik - Yes, cute and naughty.

Nandini giggles, and Manik laughs along with her.

Manik - Nandini, you know, when our baby comes, I will fulfill all their wishes.

Nandini - Yes, Manik, we'll give our child all the happiness in the world. Manik, do you think our dream will come true?

Manik - Yes, Nandini, I'm sure. I feel the day is very near when we'll hear the news of us becoming parents.

Nandini - Yes, Manik. (She looks at him lovingly.) I love you, Manik.

Manik - I love you too, my love. (He smiles and hugs her.)

They both cherish the thought of their future child and hold onto the hope that their dream will soon come true. With love and happiness in their hearts, they look forward to the beautiful journey of parenthood.
