Nandu- tum mom se keh dho na.. Mein so chuki hu..

Manik- tikhe.. You take rest.. Mein chaltha hu..

She nods.. He once again pecks her cheek and left..

WHile closing her room door.. Manik thought..

Manik pov- MS. Murthy..! Jab tum kal riya se miloge na.. Its really worth to watch it..!

SAying this he went away.. 

The next day all were busy as manan's roka is ahead..

All of them did some shopping and made the preparations..

nandu didnt meet Riya yet..! 

ROKA DAY

The girls were all ready.. they were helping nandu in getting ready..!

Nandu changed herself into a a pink half saree..

(NANDU ATTIRE BY #ANYA)

Mukthi- arey why lehenga again yaar..? meri engagement pe bhi yehi pehna hai..! you should have tried something else na..

Alya- i too suggested her the same mukthi...! but she was so adamant..!

Navya- wo tumhari bath kyu manegi jab manik..

NAndu(yells)- navya...!!

Mukthi- what manik..?

ALya- wait.. wait.. did he ask you to wear it..???

NAndu(shy)- actually manik ne ye nahi bola ki i should wear it..! but..

Navya(immitated)- but..??

NAndu- chup karo navya..! mein bol rahi hu na..!

Mukthi- ha.. ha.. bol..! rukh kyu gayi..

Nandu- he confessed once that he loves to see me wearing half saree.! aur aaj humare liye itna bada dhin hai..! agar mein lehenga peheni toh ushe acha lagega na..! isliye..!!

she said the whole thing blushing and not facing any of them..!!

Alya and mukthi- woooooooo.... like that..!

NAvya- mujhe nahi patha ki manik ye sab bhi jaantha hai..! cabir toh mere dress ke bare me kabhi complement nahi diya...!

Nandu glares at her..

Navya- mazaak kiya nandu..!

Alya- you still havent got ready nandu..! we are getting late..! 

Nandu- ha.. ha..

she was about to wear her bangles..

someone knocked the door..

Mukthi- lagtha hai..! romeo apne juliet ko dhoondthe dhoondthe yaha tak aagaya hoga..!

Nandu(blush)- mukthi..! tum bhi na..

NAvya- hum dekthe hai..>!

navya went and opened the door..

she found no one...

Navya- arey yaha toh koi bhi nahi hai...!

 she turned to the girls and answered..

she felt a tap on her knees..

there she was.. 

(avoid her dress.. i will give her attire below)

a cute bubbly girl wearing a chotu sa baby pink color lehenga..

you're right..! she was Riya..!!

as she was so short that navya didnt find her before..

after looking at that beautiful princess..

Navya pulled her cheeks and asked..

NAvya- hai baby..! kya chahiye aap ko..??

at first, she frowned at navya for pulling her cheeks and replied..

Riya- mujhe Nandu didi se milna hai..!

hearing the name nandu.. nandu came forward and saw Riya..!

Nandu came in front of her and sat on her knees..

Nandu- mein hi nandu hu..! kya chahiye aap ko..? aur ye gift packet..? ye kya hai..?

she asked lovingly..

Riya was holding a  packet in her hand..!

Riya- wo.. aarav ne aap ko ye dhene ke liye bola hai..!

Nandu(mutters)- manik..!

Riya- ha..! usne hi diya hai..!

she handed nandu the packet..

Mukthi- wow..!! manik too knows how to surprise his girl..!! Thats interesting..!

Alya- so romantic na..!

all the girls giggled except nandu as she was busy in doing her favorite job, i.e., turning her cheeks into tomato red by blushing..!

the little girl didnt understood why they were laughing..! she stood confused making a pout..!

NAndu looked at her confused state...

she hold riya's face and pecked on her  pout..

NAndu- thank you baby..!

riya also kissed nandu on her cheeks and replied..

Riya- you're welcome..!

Nandu wondered looking at riya.. as riya was resembling somewhat like herself..! she was just like a mini nandu..!

Nandu smiled widely and asked riya..

NAndu- aap ka naam kya hai..??

Riya- riya..!!

Nandu- so sweet..!

she again pecked on riya's cheek..

(Nandu was so lost in her cuteness that she actually forgot that manik's cousin name is also Riya..! 

she was expecting manik's cousin to be of her(nandu) age..! so it didnt strike her that she was the one for whom she was jealous of 2 days back..)

Riya- aap ka naam nandu hai..??

Nandu- hmm... kyu..? achi nahi lagi...?

Riya- mera na ek friend hai..! uska naam bhi nandu hai..! 

Nandu- oh..!

she was listening to her quietly..

Riya- par mein ushe Nands bhulati hu..!

Nandu- acha..! toh tikhe.. aap mujhe bhi Nands bhula sakthi ho..!!

Riya(excitedly)- sachi..???

Nandu pulled her nose..

Nandu- muchi..!!

riya clapped her hands and jumped  in excitement..

all the girls adored her pure heart..

this time riya didnt get angry for nandu pulling her nose..

so navya poked in between them and charged on the little one..

Navya- ye kya bath huyi..! jab mein aap ki ghaal kicha toh frown kiya.. ab nandu aap ki nose kichi toh has rahi ho..??

Alya- navya..!! tum bhi na.. wo choti bachi hai..!!

Riya- no aunty..! mein choti bachi nahi hu..!

                                                (ALYA AND RIYA'S OUTFITs BY #ANYA..!)

Alya(shouted)- AUNTY....???

Riya(innocently)- hmm...

All the girls understood her feelings and chuckled..

Alya glared at them and shouted..

Alya- enough..!!

Mukthi- chill baby..! 

Riya(innocently)- Nands..! ye aunty chilla kyu rahi hai..??

This was enough for alya..! she immediately spatted at riya..

Alya- hey..! you..?? mein tumhe aunty dikh rahi hu..??

Riya got afraid and made a scary face..

Nandu came forward to protect the little one..

Nandu- Alya..!! chodo na..! us pe kyu chilla rahi ho..??

Alya calmed herself..

Nandu caressing riya face..

Nandu- kya huwa...? aap dar gayi..??

Riya nodded her head as yes..

Nandu- tum choti bachi thodi na ho..! you're a grown up girl na..

Riya again nodded..

NAndu- aap ko patha nahi hai.. bade log darthe nahi hai..!!

Riya- sachi..??

Nandu- hmm..

Riya- okay..! mein aaj se kabhi nahi darungi..! 

Nandu- good girl..!

Riya- tikhe nands..! mein jathi hu..! mumma mera wait kar rahi hogi..!!

Nandu- Friends...???

she forwarded her hand and asked..

Riya happily took her hand in her tiny hands and shook in response..

Riya- friends..!!

Nandu kissed on her cheek and riya too kissed her back and went away..

Now its time to deal with alya..

Alya- bahuth hasi aa rahi thi na sabko..??

NAvya- Alya..!! chodo na.. dekha nahi..! wo kitni cute hai..!!

Mukthi- Ha.. damn cute...!

ALya was still angry..

Nandu- ALya..! gussa ho..?

she didnt answer..

Nandu- oye ..!! beauty queen..! you're always the hottest and the youngest girl..! so cool..!

Alya- really..??

All the girls laugh at once for her childish behavior and hugged her all at once..

navni& mukthi- really...!!

Finally alya smiled.. they broke the hug..

Navya's sight shifted to the packet in nandu's hand.. 

she snatched it immediately..

Nandu- navya..! dedho mujhe..!

Navya- arey jara dekhne toh dho.. manik baba ne kya beja hai apni girlfriend.. sorry.. sorry.. hone wali wife ke liye..

Nandu blushed- navya..!!

Mukthi- haye haye..!

Nandu face palmed herself and blushed even harder..

ALya- Nandu tum na.. trust me..! some day you'll give the competition for a tomato..!!

Navya- tomato...??

Alya- ha.. look at her cheeks.. its all red.. not less than a tomato..!! am i right..? or i am right..?

Mukthi- you're right baby..!

Now mukthi snatched the packet from navya..

                                     (left one- Navya and right one- Mukthi outfits by #Anya)

                          (upper half- mukthi's and lower half- navya's jewellery by #anya)

NAvya frowned in anger..

Navya- mukthiiii...!!!

Mukthi- let me open it..! i'm so excited..

saying this she opened the packet and found a pink lehenga..

Mukthi(exclaimed)- wow....!! this was so pretty..!

Navya- ya mukthi..! now we must agree that manik has a good choice..!

Alya- ab mujhe patha chala ki why nandu used to take manik's help in her every dress selection..

(if you guys forgot.. let me remind you nandu used to take manik's help in every dress selection.. refer ch-6)

Mukthi- yaaaaaaa....!!

NAndu- enough of teasing ha...!!

Navya- ha bhai..! nahi toh apna romeo yaha aajeyaga..!! kyu mukthi..??

they both high 5ed and laughed harder..

nandu nodded her head in disbelief..

ALya- guys..! bangles, neck piece and ear rings bhi beja hai..!

she took out them and shown..

               (top left and bottom- Nandu's and top right- alya's jewellery by #Anya again...!!)

Mukthi- MAnik is really something yaar..! he really knows what suits her the best..!

ALya- yep..! next time when we'll go for shopping na.. lets take him along with us..!

Nandu- no..! he'll only accompany me in shopping..!

she said all of a sudden without realising..

the girls teased her again..

Mukthi- possessive ha...!!

she blushed..

their teasing session continued..

Nandu got a call which went unnoticed by 3 of them..

it was obviously the call from Mr. Manik Malhotra..

Mukthi- ye manik bhi na..! thodi dher aur wait nahi kar payega...!!

Navya- lets tease him..!

Mukthi- good idea..

Nandu nodded in no.. but mukthi is mukthi..! she didnt listen to nandu and answered the call..

MAnik without letting the other one speak..

he started asking..

MAnik- jaan..!! kaise laga dress and jewellery..!

Mukthi- bahuth acha hai manik..!!

listening to her voice.. he made a face "pakada gaya"..!

getting no response from him.. Mukthi shouted..

Mukthi- Manik..! you there..?

Manik- ha.. ha.. why are you shouting..??

Mukthi- tikhe..! bathao,..? call kyu kiya..?

Manik-FYI..! mein call tumhe nahi kiya hai..!

Mukthi- ha.. par jis ke liye tum ne call hai.. wo abhi busy hai..!

Manik- bas.. ab jyadha ho gaya..! nandu ko phone dho..!!

Mukthi- nahi diya toh..??

MAnik- mukthi...!!!

Mukthi- okay..! here is your jaan..! speak to her..

she handed the phone to nandu.. Nandu excused herself and went little far from them and spoke..

Nandu- ha manik..!

MAnik- gift mila..?

Nandu- hmm..!

Manik- kaise laga..??

Nandu- more than beautiful..!

Manik(smiles)- good..!!

Nandu- you know what..! i wanted to surprise you.. but in return you surprised me..!

MAnik(excitedly)- tum bhi mere liye surprise plan kar rahi thi..? whats that..?

Nandu- i already wore a half saree just because you love it..! but you sent the most beautiful dress for me as usual...!

MAnik- dont worry my dear soon to be wifey...! you've all the life to surprise me..!

Nandu(blushed)- hmm.. sure..! anyways..! thank you...!

Manik- thanks not accepted..

Nandu- kyu..??

MAnik- i wanna see you in that dress right now..!

NAndu- ab kaise hoga..?? sab hai..! mein ready bhi nahi huyi..!

MAnik- okay make it fast... and listen dont make me wait for long..! otherwise you'll find me in your room..! i dont care about others too.>!!

Nandu- okay my dear monster..! bye..

she was about to cut the call..

MAnik- arey.. suno..

Nandu- kya..??

MAnik- did you meet RIya ..??

Nandu(anger)- nahi..! aur mujhe  milna bhi nahi hai..! ab mein rakthi hu..! bye..!

without listening to him.. she cut the call..

MAnik pov- Riya se nahi mili hai..! par mein gift toh profusely riya ke sath bejha tha..! phir kaise nahi mili...!!

(readers..! ab aap log hi samjha dijiye.. apne manik baba ko...)

PRECAP- MANAN ROKA...!
