Everyone soon reached malhotra mansion..

Manik looked at the sidetable to take his phone when he saw a note..
He took the note-

Goodmorning manikk! Stop holding your head now and drink the lemonade i made for you and come to take me soon! I will be waiting! Love you..

Manik looked at the glass of lemonade beside and smiled.. He took the glass and drank it and then went to take a hot shower..

Manik while standing beneath the shower..

Manik: finally the day has come..i cant wait to make her mine forever!
He took a hot shower and then went out wrapping a towel around his waist..manik's happiness had no bounds he was whistling while applying aftershave on his face..he quickly dried his hair and went out and wore his clothes..(picture on the chapter manik's outfit).. Manik called nandini but she did not pick up..

Manik: must be busy..

He wore his watch and then applied perfume and went down with his phone..

Manik: hello everyonee!

Nandini entered the garden as everyone looked at her and she smiled..
Nandini smiling walked towards the mandap..everyone clapped for her and she could hear everyone around her talking about how beautiful she is looking..

Nandini looked at manik and smiled and manik's eyes could not move from the sight he saw..
Nandini smiling came and sat beside him..manik's eyes still stuck on her..

Nandini whispered: finally..

Manik smiled and their eye-lock broke as panditji started with the rituals...

After sometime-

Manik and nandini stood for the 7 phere's..manik held her hand and they took the 7 rounds as everyone showered them with flowers..their friends cheered for them and they laughed..after the phere's were done they sat again and panditji gave manik the mangalsutra..manik made her wear that as nandini closed her eyes..he put the sindoor on her forehead and nandini smiled still closing her eyes..

Panditji: vivaah sampand hua.. aab aap dono pati aur patni hue..

Manik gave a big sigh of relief and nandini looked at him suprised as it was too loud and everyone heard..
Everyone started laughing..
Manik and nandini stood up and then touched feets of the elders..
They then hugged their friends..

They reached soon and manik parked the car beside an icecream stall and then got icecream for them..

Manik: okayy soo here you go..

Nandini and manik started having icecream and were talking to each other about all the functions of the marriage...

Soon they went home and dadiji did nandini's aarti and grah pravesh..she entered after moving the kalash of rice with her leg..
She then stood on the thali of red colour and walked leaving her foot prints behind..

Dadiji: nandini come meet my friends..they had to give you gifts..

Manik: dadi cant it be later?

Nandini gave manik a look..

Nandini: its okay dadi..i will come..

Manik: ofcourse..

Manik went and sat with his friends while nandini went with dadi..

At 4pm-

Dadi took nandini in manik's room..

Dadi: chalo tum jao aur rest karo..tumhare kamre mein..

Nandini smiled and entered...manik was not there..she locked the door and then went and sat on the bed..

Nandini: manik?

Manik turned on the shower inside the washroom so nandini understoon he was taking a shower..nandini opened the pin of her achal and then went and sat on the chair infront of the dressin table..she started opening her jewelleries.. Nandini opened her bangles and kept them at the table..

Nandini: so heavy jewelleries oh my god..i feel so better now..

Nandin opened the pins from her hair and kept her hair on one side exposing her bare back above the blouse hook..

Manik came out of the washroom wearing a black trouser only..he was wiping his hair with the towel..nandini turned around and smiled looking at him.

Manik: finally you have time for me haan?

Nandini smiled and then stood up..

Nandini: i have to take a shower too..

Manik: hmm..

Manik had his naughty smirk on his face which very much disturbed nandini..

Nandini: manik stop smiling like that..

Manik: why?

Nandinu: aise hi..why are u smiling without any reason..

Manik: i thought you need no reason to smile...

Manik moved towards nandini..he threw the towel on his bed..

Nandini: manik woh...we should take rest..

Manik moved very close and moved his hand to her waist pulling her with a jerk..nandini's hands moved to his bare chest..

Manik: kal aaj hain..

Nandini smiled and was about to say something when manik started opening the dori of her blouse..

Nandini: manik..

Manik bent down and kissed her neck..nandini moved her hands around his neck and to his hair..
Manik looked at her and so did nandini..both their eyes full of love for each other and manik bent down and kissed her lips..nandini joined in immediately..her hands caressing his hair and her lips tasting every corner of his lips..nandini too kissed her with all the aggression he had..he bit her lips while kissing and sucked every corner..

They moved back and nandini bumped with the wall..they broke the kiss looking at each other..

Nandini: manik..we have to getready..

Manik: hmm..

Nandini bent down and kissed her neck again..he kept kissing her neck and then moved to her ears kissing them..manik snuggled his face with her hair and then whispered in her ear making nandini's heartbeats increase to the maximum..

Manik whispered: be ready for tonight mrs.malhotra..

Nandini closed her eyes and gripped her sari with her hands while manik smirked looking at her..
He moved back and nandini opened her eyes..her face was all red and her heart would still not stop beating so heart..

Nandini: i have to go get my luggage..

Nandini walked past him when manik held her achal..

Nandini turned back looking at him surprised when manik pulled her back..nandini's back hit with his bare chest..

Manik moved her hair to one side and kissed her neck from the back.. He held the dori and started tieing it..
Nandini from the side looked at him and smiled..
He tied the dori and then bent down kissing her back which passed an electric current all over her body..
Nandini turned around and smiled at him and then went out to get her luggage..
Manik fell on the bed on his stomach smiling...
