*Nandini*

I went downstairs to see a beautiful arrangement. The theme was pink and white...so everything was according to the theme!

I am absolutely loving it.

*Manik*

I entered the hall  to see it beautifully decorated.

And then I saw her.

Her eyes were glowing like fireflies on seeing the arrangements.

And I, saw her smile, how beautiful she looked.

I moved towards her and then she  turned towards me and got shocked seeing me. She started checking if she was looking fine.

Why is she behaving so weird these days?

"M..Manik? T...tum yaha?"

She asked me, stammering all this while.

"I guess, mere bhai ka bhi sangeet hai yaha?"

I asked her sarcastically.

She laughed hearing my statement.

"Manik. Tum bhi na"

Saying, she punched me in my stomach.

"Nandini. Are u sure tum dance karogi aj? I mean, tum Abhi bhi weak ho."

I asked her worriedly.

"Manik..."

She held my hands and then continued,

"I know, par tumhare saath dance jar Rahi Hun. I m sure I will be fine."

She smiled widely.

I smiled back and then said,

"By the way, Aj kiska murder karne ka plan hai"

She frowned and asked,

"Murder? What are you saying Manik?"

"Ab tum itni beautiful lagogi to murder to hoga hi. Kisi or ka ho na ho, mera to ho ho jayega!"

I said cheesily.

"Manik.."

She said and came closer to me, and then whispered in my ear,

"So..the plan is working,hun?"

At first I was taken aback, by her sudden gesture but then I controlled myself and said,

"Yes,totally"

She smiled cheerfully listening to me.

"Guess what?"

She said, playing along

I raised my eyebrows and then she answered,

"I think yaha ek nahi do murders karne ka plan hai, ek tumhara which is planned by me and dusra mera, planned by you."

I was shocked.

This Nandini was so different. She is happy, cheerful, and yes cheesy like me!

We smiled at each other and then joined the ceremony which had started by now.

"Hello,namaste, namaskar, ki haal hai mere bhaiyon aur unki beheno!"

The anchor started off, which was really quirky!

"To aj sham Hum Sab yaha hai Malhotra Industries ke owner Raj Malhotra ke notorious, jolly, par Kam ke time Kam karne vale Cabir Malhotra aur unki hone wali wife jo India ke ek bahut hi Jani Mani NGO 'Sapne', owned by Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra ke liye Kam Karti hai, Miss. Navya Naveli. A huge round of applause for the lovely couple please!"

As he introduced them, the couple, Cabir and Navya entered the hall, and sat on a special, love seat made for the couple.

"To start karte hai, AJ ki pehli performance se..."

He said this and the performances started. I was happy and now relaxed ki sab ache se Ho Gaya!

But just one more tension, Nandini ke saath dance!!

Kaise karunga main!

Oh god.

"Manik, are u fine?"

Someone kept their hand on my shoulder and said, I turned around to see Nandini!

"Manik...tumhe dance karne se koi problem hai to..."

She was about to continue when I covered her mouth with my hand.

"Shhhh! Nandini, tumhare saath dance karna is never gonna be a problem for me. I love..I mean..I love dancing and singing and doing everything with you! Got it."

I was about to blurt out the truth. Thank god, I stopped on time.

She hugged me and I reciprocated it.

Holding her close to me, I felt my stress going away!

"Hi Manik. Hi Nandini."

We turned to see Mukti, Abhi, Alya and Dhruv.

Nandini said hi to everyone and then hugged Abhi.

"Hi, manyu!!"

"Hi, babydoll."

How I love these two cutiepies!

We asked them to join the ceremony after a little chit-chat session.

"And now, it is the turn of the sweetest couple, who are in the queue of getting married, Manik Malhotra and Nandini
Murthy!"

As I heard that, my stress level reached its peak.

Nandini held my hand and blinked in assurance.

I smiled and we went to the stage for our performance.
