Thursday and Friday Manik didn't come as he was on leave.

On Saturday there was no work so Vivek gave her and Navya leave, so that day also she couldn't see Manik.

Saturday night she received instagram request from Manik. She accepted and requested him back. They were mutuals now and Manik texted her immediately.

Manik: how's your finger now?
Nandini: it's good! Thanks.
Manik: how's the hospital work going? My parents just left so I'll come from tomorrow
Nandini: yaah everything is good.
Manik: so what do you generally do on weekends
Nandini: watch movies with navya on Ipad😭
Manik: 😂😂
Nandini: arey it's true!!!!!
Manik: so you're basically free tomorrow?!
Nandini: yaah😅😅
Manik: so if you don't mind, can we hang out tomorrow?
Nandini: hang out as in????

Nandini: i love long drives!
Manik: ohk then we're going tomorrow.. I'll pick you up after evening rounds at 8pm.. be ready!
Nandini: sure!

Both started dancing in their respective rooms

Navya came out of washroom and asked her what happened confused. Nandini told her about the date with Manik and Navya too joined in the celebration. They finalised the dress.. had dinner and went to sleep.

Sunday evening:::

Nandini took bath and came out.. she chose to wear black tank top and green trousers with heels and left her straight hair open with minimal makeup.

Navya: you look ravishing.. Manik sir gonna have a hard time tonight 😛
Nandini: 😂😂
Navya: well where you people are going??

After 10 min manik gave a call and nandini went down... he saw her and was mesmerised by her beauty. He opened car's door for her.. she sat and he went to the driving seat.

Manik: you're so beautiful (dreamy eyes)
Nandini: thank you!! Well where are we going??
