Listening Manik's reply everyone was feeling very happy.

Sensing that the atmosphere is becoming a little gloomy and serious Abhimanyu tried to bring a little cheerness in the atmosphere.

Abhi : Mom yaar dinner ka time ho raha hai chalo na dinner laga do. Mujhe toh bohot bhook lagne lag gayi.
Aap logon ko toh siraf batein karni hai.

Listening this everyone starts laughing and Nandini says Krystal

Nandini : Yes mom, let's go and prepare the dinning table for dinner.

With this both Nandini and Krystal moves towards kitchen and prepares the dinning room. Both calls all others to join the dinner table.

And everyone settles themselves and enjoy the dinner and have lot's of fun talking with each other.

After dinner everyone once again moves towards living room and Manik asks Karan and Krystal's permission to talk with Nandini privately.

Both Karan and Krystal agrees with Manik and asks Nandini to take Manik along with her to the garden area.

On reaching the garden, both Manik and Nandini settles themselves on the bench present in the garden.

Manik : So Nandini r u happy with this relationship and i want your true opinion.

Nandini : Yes Manik, m really interested in this relationship.

Manik : May i know how u r so sure about this relationship as we didn't even knew each other few days ago and now u seems to be so sure with your decision.

Nandini : Manik u must be thinking why i took this decision very hastily but i took this decision after thinking very carefully.
And regarding knowing u, i don't need to bother much about it as i trust my parents that they will definitely choose the best for me and even won't suggest any proposal which is not good, and on top of it i observed your behavior with Grandma, u know it is very pure how u take care of her every tinny- Vinny needs and all, how you respect your elders, i really liked it.
I just want to give all happiness to my parents as they had done so much for me and i can't even express in words what m feeling. And m very sure that you will love them in the same way as of me and bhai.
( She said this feeling very overwhelmed and emotionally having slight wetness in her eyes)

Manik : ( while coming little close to Nandini and taking her in a hug )
Nandini relax. It's ok.
I understand you, you don't need to give me any more reasons.
I just asked you this to know that you are not pressured for this relationship.
And regarding my behavior with uncle and aunty, i will treat them like my parents only.
U know Nandini when i was small i lost my parents, that's why i treated Grandma as my only family both my mom and dad, and i always tried to fulfill everything she asks me to do.
I even join her in her Pooja's even though i don't believe in God.
And now uncle and aunty are at the place of mom and dad for me, i will give them everything which will be in my hands.

Nandini : Thanks Manik for understanding me and i have no suspicion regarding u giving respect to my parents. I have full faith in you.
( She said while looking directly into Manik's eyes and both both share a small eye lock with each other)

And Manik i want to ask u seriously don't have any problem in me pursuing my career??
(She asks being little bit nervous looking at her feet and playing with her hands)
( Even though i am very confident don't know why i feel so much nervous in front of Manik)

Manik : ( while Coming close to her and holding her chin and moving her face up)
Nandini i seriously have no problem with u in-fact i want to support you and be there for u at each step of your life.
At each step of your life you will find me beside you at each step that you will take.
Ok now settle your mood i will be always with you so no need to bother.

After this both of them starts to take walk in the garden holding each others hands.

Manik : So Nandini tell me something about you? I don't know much about you.

Nandini : R u sure Mr. Malhotra that you don't know anything about me.
(She asks in a playful way)

Manik : And why do you think so??

Nandini : Please don't behave so innocent. At least i know this much about you. U must have had my background check done before saying yes to me.

Manik : Ok ok i agree. But i want to know you in a better way.
Ok let's make it simple and intersting.
We will play a game in which i'll ask
You question and you will say your answer. So r u ready??

Nandini : Ok. So favourite color?

Manik : Red, and yours??

Nandini : Green, favourite food?

Manik : Punjabi food anything, and your??

Nandini : South Indian - Sambar vada, idli, dosa
(Said dreamily)

Like this both plays the game for some time. After a while Nandini starts rubbing her hands to create friction between her hands to create some warmth.

Seeing this Manik removes his coat and makes Nandini wear it in order to prevent her from cold.

After a while Manik asks Nandini something which makes her mind complex about what to answer.

Manik : Nandini as you know that i investigated your background i came to know that you are against Aryaman khurana. May i know why so??

Nandini : First time i met Aryaman khurana was at the same party where we both met for the first time in the party organised by dad.
There he approached me and i don't know why i recieved negative vibes from him that's why i wanted to stay away from him.
But he kept coming close to me which irritated me to hell that's why i am against Aryaman khurana.
( I can't tell you Manik the real reason as u won't believe me that this is my rebirth and he was my husband then who cheated me and made me commit crime of ignoring my parents)
( She said while being emotionless)

Manik seeing that Nandini's mood was turning off diverted the topic and asked Nandini to move back in the living room where everyone will be waiting for them as the atmosphere was turning cold.

With this they joined everyone in the living room after some time Manik along with Grandma left for their house and here in Murthy Mansion everyone moved towards their room to have some rest.
