Ok guys so here is the update for all of you...

Please do vote and comment.. I have literally stopped expecting that the targets would be met..

So enjoy the update...

Avoid mistakes if any..

Well for the evening party all was ready.. Nandini and Neyonika were both managing along with Raj and Cabir and Navya... Dhruv and Alya had to go to Dhruv's place as they both finally decided to tie the knot and both their parents did not delay to it.. So their wedding dates were supposed to be announced...

Well Aneri and Mishkat were enjoying their time. Neyonika even asked Nandini to go but who was she telling... So by evening when all was almost done, Neyonika told Nandini to move as she need to look fresh as it is the first birthday of the trio after their wedding and so the media is gonna crash no matter how so Raj had arranged a thing for them...

Nandini was pushed to get ready and so she moved... On reaching the room she found Manik working on Laptop so she first moved to him and put a pillow behind his back to support him...

N: Manik aap kya kar rahe hai...

M: Are I need to send few e-mails.. this Anurag will now eat my head not your's as I asked him not to do so plus I need to complete it till then why don't you go and get ready.

N: Manik, are you sure.. I know you still cannot move your hands properly so You stand up, tell Anurag that work will be done tomorrow... I will help you get ready and then by the time I get ready if you can complete your work then you can proceed.

M: Well not bad Mrs Malhotra..

N: Well Mr Malhotra that is the reason you need me... To plan your stuff... Now up from here and go get freshen up I will get your suit till then...

M: Ok..

Manik and Nandini moved and then Nandini helped Manik as he still cannot do too much of hand and shoulder movements.. While Manik was kind of joking around with her as he loves it when she treats him as a kid and due to it.

N: Manik behave yourself.. You are 27 now not 7 that you are behaving in this way.. We are already late and on top of that you are making me late.. I need to take bath get ready and all why are you making things hard for me.. when she was saying all this she was on the verge of crying...

Manik immediately got serious. He immediately held Nandini by her arms and made her look at him...

M : What is bothering you... Why so emotional out of the blue...

N: Nothing.. I am fine...

M: Nandini are your dates near...

N: Yup...

M: You relax ok... I am almost done so go and have a hot water bath and then get ready I will be fine...

N: I am sorry I lashed out at you.. It is just that I am feeling too tiered already and still the whole party is left..

M: Nandini you are already under stress and on top of that you drained yourself first by driving then by working.. So realx yourself add some essential oils in water and have a bath you will feel rejuvenated and I am booking a spa for you tomorrow so forget college and relax yourself for a day...

N: Manik it is not necessary...

M: It is definitely as just look at yourself.. Manik brought her more near to him and then continued. Nandini you and your health is important for me more than anything else.. I do not mind hiring 5 more workers so that you are not stressed. I have brought you to this house as my wife, my better half so never ignore yourself for something which can be managed by someone else..

N: I will take care ok...

Manik smiled and kissed her forehead and said

M: My cutie pie... Now go and get ready and do not worry ok...

Nandini nodded and then moved to washroom to get ready, while he made all arrangements for Nandini to relax tomorrow and be fully out of any stress. While Nandini would take some time to get ready so he tried completing his work soon.. But in between that he heard Nandini calling him...

N: Manik can you please come here...

M: Bolo.. That is when he saw her struggling with the zip of her gown and he could clearly see her struggling..

N: Please help na. Ye bandh nahi ho raha hai.. It is so frustrating..

M: Nandini first of all calm down... Let me see to sahi...

Saying this he turned her around and that is when he saw her bare back.. He with great difficulty took a deep breath and then put his one hand on her back making her flinch while they both had a eye contact through mirror while he set her chain and pulled it up...

Manik pulled her a bit closer to him while he leaned in near her ear and said.

M: Waise I do not know how but you always manage to create an imbalance in my hormonal level.

Nandini blushed as already his act had made her difficult to take in more and then his words added to it so she just hugged him out of shyness as she still feels embarrassed as this is what she cannot handle and so Manik loves it to the core..

SO HERE IS THE TOAST TO MY LOVELY KIDS WISHING THEM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

Soon he invited the guests to come and grace the cake cutting moment.. Well Manik wanted to do it with Nandini but he also knew she will never do it so he with a bit dis heartened way took the knife along with Mishkat and Mukti like all times..

They cut the cake and then they three first feed Neyonika together and then Raj and then they split up by them feeding their spouse and Ishita and Raman and then friends and it went on.. While once they were done as a shagun Cabir put some cake on all three of them and then they sent the cake away while they were asked to join the dance floor for a couple dance..

Well the Dancer's took the stage first and then followed by all the couples including the elders while Manik and Nandini were standing aside not wanting to strain Manik..

M: Well May I have a dance with you.

N: No we are not going.. You cannot and I cannot take a risk when it comes to you.. So be here only.

M: Please.. A small dance...

N: No ways... If you move and inch also na I will ask doctor to tie you up again. So think what you do..

M: Well that is something interesting...

N: Do not underestimate me... Now sit, I will get you your dinner... I can see that you are in pain.. so just be here.. I will send Fab 5 and other here only. Dare you stand up..

M: Haan haan Hitler ki nani..

Nandini just shrugged her shoulders at his melodrama which has been at it's peak from the time he has been on bed.. Like she felt that the mature man who was a big brother, elder son and other relations like protector were lost and is now taken over by the child man who is naughty care free needs attention..

Nandini sent the youngsters to their table while she asked a butler to serve them. While she took her place beside Manik who immediately took her hand in his interlocking them.

But then there came someone whom they would want to burry alive. well especially Manik as he was losing every bit of his cool... Well that was none other than Shiddharth Sharma..

Well Intro :

Shiddharth Sharma.. CEO of Sharma Industries, very competent and to win he can do anything.. He is a happy go lucky guys but if in case he holds a grudge then in that case he can destroy too.. So once he thinks he want to do something then he will do it..

Sid: Well Mr Malhotra Many Many happy returns of the day to you...

Manik was loosing his temper but fortunately his hand was in Nandini's who calmed him down...

M: Thank you Mr Sharma.. Please enjoy the party...

Sid: Well well that to I would definitely.. I heard that you were hospitalized and were on bed rest for a while now... How are you now...

M: Well you have heard right, but you see I have my loved ones around me and see here I am fine and recovered...

Sid: Well that might be needed to you... Have a good day...

Saying this he moved away with a smirk on his face making Manik boil in anger.. He hates it when he knows that there was someone harming his family and that person standing right in front and he cannot do anything. He was about to bang his hand on the table which was just recovered from fracture fortunately Nandini stopped him in right time....

M: I am not gonna leave this bloody bastard.

N: Manik Manik... please relax... We will find something out.. Please aap shaant rahiye.

Mi: What was that bhai.. And why are you boiling so much...

M: He is that bloody bastard who attached us... He is taking the grudge of us signing the contract with Murty Industries for that big project.

Mi : then why haven't you told anyone about it....

Manik took a deep breath to calm himself down and then said.

M: Because I got to know about it in the evening only...

N: leave all this.. Miku you too... Today you should not let any negativity touch you...

M: Seriously Nandini. All these things are not a joke over here... He tried to kill us on top of that he tried to r....

He stopped abruptly from there. Stood up and moved upstairs he cannot speak up as to what had happened but he cannot be here also as now he would want just punch to something...

Abhi on the other end asked Nandini...

Abhi: What was he about to say that you have hid from us..

Nandini looked here and there and then said..

N: nothing bhai.. I will just calm that monster down and bring him here... He just cannot go away it is his birthday.

Abhi was about to say something when Mukti nodded in no to him...

Abhi: but...

Mu: Let her go to bhai.. I guess she will manage him...

Nandini was already gone behind Manik...

She entered the room to see Manik shrieking in pain but still walking from here to there... Nandini knew that he needs to calmed down first.. So she moved to him, took his hand in her's made him sit comfortably and then just hugged him... he struggled in there to come out but then finally she was successful as she calmed him down to an extent and she knew that when he hugged her back.

M: Nandini I cannot imagine what would have happened...

N: Manik I am fine..

M: Nandini, I just cannot get over that thing and seeing the man responsible right in front of my eyes makes my blood boil...

Nandini rubbed a hand on his back while tightening the hold in hug for a bit to calm his nerves.

N: Just relax.. With a clean mind I know you will find a way to put a tight slap on his face but without making your hands dirty.. I trust you on that so just relax...

Manik did relax and then hid his face in her nape while Nandini let him be for a while and then she broke the hug... Kissed his cheeks and then asked him to join her downstairs and then finally convinced him to come...

So guys I hope the doubts for the people who wanted to know who did it is here..
