     some times when you meet someone , there's a click...i don't believe in love at first sight but i do believe in that click........

time passed and finally the D-day arrived.....it was Sunday.....manik was in his usual deep sleep forgetting the fact that he was going to meet his would be wife today.......as always niyonika came to his room but was shocked to see him still sleeping......she was hell tiered from running here to there busy in preparations and making sure all got ready in time.....but seeing the to be groom sleeping like a donkey she finally lost her patience.......

niyo ( hell angry ) : MANIK MALHOTRA.....get up

manik immediately woke up with a jerk only to see his mom standing infront of him with her hands on her hip......seeing her he got annoyed and covered his face with the duvet....

manik ( muttered ) : kya hai mumma....sone do na......

niyonika ( controlling her anger ) : manik do you remember what today is........

manik ( annoyed and sleepy ) : aaj sunday hai na....ab please mujhe thodi aur der sone do.......

niyonika ( snapped ) : oh so you do know today is sunday......but looks like you forgot some think ki hume aaj ladki valo se milne jana hai which we apparently cannot do if the to be groom is sleeping like a donkey........so get up and get ready......

she almost shouted the last part and dashed outside to check on others.....while realisation hit manik that he will be going to see a girl for his marriage......this was enough to annoy the hell out of him.........but he decided to calm himself down as he did not want to snap at any one through out the day.........not at least on his soon to be never gonna happen in laws......

he took a shower and moved inside his walk in closet in search of an appropriate clothing.....but he got confused on what to wear........seeing this his inner self mocked him " kya kar raha hai manik....tu usse shaadi cancel karwane ki baat karne jaa raha....naki use impress karne.....kuch bhi pehnle yaar......"

manik decided to listen to his inner self who for the first time was speaking some sense....he decided to wear his casuals........

after getting ready he moved down stairs.....where all of them were waiting for him.....looking at manik niyonika made a disbelief face and strode towards him......

niyo : what the hell !! manik ye tume kya pehna hai......maine tumhare liye wo shevani rakhi thi na........

manik : mom now please don't start.....mujhe jo accha laga maine pehen liya......i can't show myself as some one else.....let her also see how i am actually and then decide about marriage......

manik smartly avoided wearing the sherwani.......

raj : niyonika....let him wear what he wants......even i want to let my princess decide after seeing how manik  actually is.......

seeing raj agreeing niyonika just accepted her defeat as it was very rare to see the father and son agreeing on some matter.........

finally the malhotra trio along with fab4 headed to murthy mansion...........

murthy mansion........

nandini was with navya her best friend and was chatting with her as she was ready and there was still time for the malhotra's to come......she was quitely listening to navya's pep talks......but no matter how much encouraging navya's words were she was still hell nevous and tensed of this whole marriage situation.....

mean while downstairs........

there was a hustle bustle going on in the whole murthy mansion......swara was instructing the servants..........vishnu was silently observing her.....he could understand that she was hell tensed.......he went to her and made her sit on the sofa and gave her a glass of water......

swara ( protesting ) : vishnu ye app kya kar rahe hai.....abhi bohot kaam baaki hai......

vishnu : shhhh.....itne saare servants hai....vo sab samhal lenge......tum ye pani piyo aur take some rest.....kabse bhaag daud kar rahi thi.......

swara smiled a little and drank the water..........

after some time the malhotra's arrived and were warmly welcomed by murthy's.....niyonika and swara hugged each other same was the case with vishnu and raj......after breaking the hug niyonika gestured manik to touch swara and vishnu's feet....manik made a bad face but getting a glare from niyonika he immediately touched their feet.....fab4 and murthy couple witnessed this and giggled lightly.........

vishnu : tumhe ye sab karne ki zaroorat nahi hai beta.....you are a part of our family now......you are like our son......

listening him manik genuinely smiled .........after the introductions were done they finally settled in the living room......manik was settled in between swara and vishnu and was answering their questions politely.........

raj ( excitedly ) : arre bhai.....hume bhi apni princess se milna hai....usse bulao to sahi........

niyonika ( gushed ) : haan....mujhe bhi apni bacchi se milna hai.....kitne din hue use dekhe huve..........

all smile at their enthusiasm and swara nodded and went upstairs to call nandini......while manik was just looking at their faces which were showing how happy they were..he understood just how much precious nandini is for his parents......for a moment he felt guilty that he will be breaking their hearts......but he justified himself by thinking it will be better than getting tied in a loveless marriage......

nandini's room.......

swara entered nandini's room and saw the two friends happily chatting......

swara ( smiling ) : ladke vale aa gaye.....hume neeche jana hai.......

navya : humare hone vale jeeju aa gaye.....

navya caught nandini's hand who gave her a light smile and nodded at her.....with this the trio went down stairs.........mean while manik who was chatting with vishnu diverted his gaze towards the stairs and was awestruck seeing the Greek goddess descending down stairs.......he was intensely gazing at her while her gaze was just directed to the floor......he could see that her grip on her friends hand tightened clearly showing her nervousness......seeing manik shamelessly gazing at her cabir abruptly coughed to break his trance......finally manik broke his staring session and turned his head other side and was mentally cursing himself for his stupidity........

he looked around to see if anyone caught him staring.....he mentally did a happy dance as he did not get caught but his happiness did not last longer as he saw cabir eyeing him with a mischevious expression.....seeing his expression he got to know that he was caught.....cabir gave him " we got to talk bro " look while he just made himself busy with vishnu.........

niyonika got up and brought nandini in between her and raj...........

Niyo : kaise hai meri princess......

nandini smiled at her

nandini : main theek hoon niyo maa.......

manik thought " her voice....it's so soft and loving......par why do i feel like there is some kind of unknown pain in her voice......." but he quickly shrugged his thoughts.......

raj : i think hume baccho ko ek dusre se baat karwani chahiye....after all it's their life......

swara signaled nandini to take manik to the garden area.......nandini got up and gestured manik towards the garden.......

in garden area......

manik and nandini settled on the chairs.......after a long silence....manik decided to take the initiative and coughed to gain her attention.......

nandini ( immediately ) : jee apko pani chahiye kya......

manik immediately became embarrassed and nodded in no.......

manik : listen nandini.... i don't know ki tumne iss meeting keliye kyun agree kiya....but i can't marry you.....abhi main kissi se shaadi nahi karna chahta.....i still need time to make my career......

nandini : agar aap shaadi nahi kar na chahte to app yaha aye hi kyu.....

Manik : vo because my dad is hell bent on me marrying you....I tried to protest but still he is not listening to me....even if I say no....he will still get me married to you....only you can help me....

Nandini ( confused ) : mein kaise apki help kar sakthi hoon.....

Manik : agar tum iss shaadi keliye no boldogi tho this marriage will not take place.....

Nandini ( giving an assuring smile) : don't worry....I will say no to the proposal.....

Manik ( happily ) : thank you so much....

Nandini : shayad hame ab chala chahiye...

Manik ( quickly getting up ) : haan....let's go....
While they were moving to living room....swara came and called nandini to accompany her......Manik went and settled beside Vishnu and gestured a thumbs up to fab4 who were impatiently waiting to see if their plan worked......

After sometime swara came towards them with a blank nandini.....

Vishnu : I think Hume ab baccho se inka desicion puchna chahiye.....

Raj ( looked at manik ) : manik...?

Manik ( confidently ) : yess...

Vishnu : nandini.....?

Nandini ( with a blank face ) : yes....

All the family members were happy....fab4 were shocked and manik was staring numbly at nandini who was staring every where except manik......
