At dinner hall (at night 8)

Everyone is having food silently except Nandini who is not eating and thinking about manik. Raman who noticed it said strictly"Nandini stop playing with food and start eating" which scared and started eating while controlling her tears. All saw Nandini's sad face become worried. Navya held Nandini's hand under the table and assured her. 

" Don't worry Nandini, we will talk to Manik tonight ok. First eat"Navya whispers in Nandini ear.  Navya and Nandini plan to meet Manik tonight and talk to him.

After everyone finishes dinner. Raman said "everyone knows Saxena is coming tomorrow I don't want any mistake and sad face" last line while looking at daughter and mother. As Ishita is sad about her daughter's future. 

"Early prepare everything and Ishita calls the Pandit to tomorrow," said Raman, which confused everyone.

"But Papa, why Pandit?” asked Abhi, which Raman ignored and said Ishita " Ishita I said to you so the other person can keep quiet and prepare an arrangement in the morning itself. Don't know when they come".saying this raman went away. 

His line hurt abhi, Nandini went and hugged his brother and said "don't worry bhai he will accept you soon". Abhi smiles at his sister because sometime ago she was crying and now advises him not to know what Nandini made up of.

All going towards their room. By this Navya and Nandini went secretly backside of the garden where Manik and cabir stayed in out house. But saw cabir and Manik sitting outside and talking to all soldier regarding tomorrow protection.

" Navya everyone is there. How can we talk to Manik? ". Said Nandini sadly but Navya was thinking of a way out. She threw a stone at the Cabir who was standing behind the manik.

"AHH....who is that?"  shouted by looking here and there. Manik turned towards him and asked what happened. 

"Someone threw a stone at me" by taking the stone in hand. Manik looked at it and looked at the surroundings and finally saw Navya who showed her hand to come there. Manik is confused why she is calling him.

"Team disperses,"said Manik to the soldier. All went to do their work. 

" Manik you can't leave this matter easily. Someone is trying to kill me" said cabir when he saw Manik moving towards the backside of the garden.

"Manik."started cabir but stopped seeing Navya there "what are you doing here? " asked her.

Manik looked at her with a questioning eye. Navya just pulled Nandini from her back.

"She wants to talk with Manik, so we came here,"said Navya. Nandini was looking down and Manik was looking at her.

Cabir teases "oooohhh, but what do you want to talk at night, princess". Manik gave an angry glare at him. Navya just made an irritating face and pulled Cabir with her far away.

After they went, Manik looked at his princess with a smile who was looking down from the start. Both don't know what to say. Manik gained courage and asked Nandini what happened.

Nandini couldn't control any more, hugged Manik and started crying. Manik becomes worried seeing her crying but just hugs her without any second thought. Why should he have because Nandini is his, he can do anything with her.

Manik hugged her and started saying smooth words to calm her down in which he is successful now she is only hiccuping. 

"Manik please stop this please"Nandini said this while holding his hand when made a "hiss" sound.

Nandini immediately looked at his hand which was hurt and still not banded.

"Manik ouu how it happened" Nandini crying asked cleaning with her dupatta. Manik just looking at her he remembers their first meeting where she said the same thing.

Flashback

A small 10 year old sitting in the garden and crying because of his training, his hand is bleeding. 

"Manik what are you doing here? “ Ishita asked Manik as she always saw him away from everyone. Manik didn't say anything.

"Maa oouu"Manik heard a cute voice. He lifts his head and sees a cute little girl of 5years old who is cutely peeking her head outside by hiding behind her mother.

She came near Manik slowly and tried to touch his hand. But Manik hissed and she was scared and hid behind her mother again.

"Ma sorly, nanu didt hrtl him (ma sorry, Nandini didn't hurt him) said scared Nandini to Ishita. 

Ishita said"no angel you didn't do anything, Manik how you got hurt, come with me I will give medicine". Manik refused by shaking his head. Nandini went near him and sat beside him and took his hand in hers.

"Manu big oouu, ma kissy give"said Nandini to Ishita who is admiring her angel and Nandini kissed his hand and said "ooouu wenlt"(ooouuu went). And pulled Manik with her to the palace.

From that time on, Nandini is always with manik.

Flashback end

Manik came out of his thoughts and looked at Nandini who was scolding him. They both hear footsteps. He just pulled Nandini behind a tree and hid her. They were close to each other and Nandini was looking at him,Manik was looking at the other side.

"Manik"both were shocked because it is the king's voice. Nandini becomes scared if her Papa sees her with Manik, that's all her Papa will kill her.

"Princess just relax, I will go and divert the king. That time you escape okay". Said manik but Nandini just nodded. Manik for the last time looked at Nandini and went.

"Yes king you called"asked Manik casually and both started to discuss tomorrow's event, slowly walking to the other side. Manik keeping his hand behind shows Nandini to go. Nandini slowly left the place with her father knowing. She came to her room and breathed heavily.

"What happened baby, did you speak to Manik? “Asked Navya, who was eagerly waiting for Nandu. 

"No correct time Papa came "replied Nandini sadly. Navya became irritated.

"Don't worry baby we will speak to Manik tomorrow"and Nandini sadly nodded her head and went to bed and prayed to Ayyappa and lied down.

In garden

"Manik I want you to be with me tomorrow everywhere I go" said Raman seriously which made Manik more conscious because he knows that his king is hiding something from everyone.

"But king, why do you want to marry a princess to Saxena"asked Manik. For which Raman didn't reply but walked aways.

Manik pov- god, he is not saying anything then how can I know. And Nandini came to talk about something to me but that too spoiled because of him. Thinking about Nandini brings a smile to Manik's face. Princess I am waiting for the moment when I can have you forever baby. I love you Nandini, you are mine. Let's see what drama Saxena is creating.

Manik started thinking about what to do tomorrow.

At morning(at 9)

In hall

All the servants are running here and they're preparing everything. Ishita or Mukthi didn't help them because this event is happening against their wish.

In the Nandini room, Servants are making Nandini ready but Nandini sitting like a statue. Navya said "don't worry Nandini, you are not getting married today itself. They are just coming to see you. Don't worry your Ayyappa will do something'. Because she saw Nandini didn't sleep or eat properly. Even they didn't get chance to speak with Manik as he always with king from morning. They both heard a horn sound which indicate the arrival of Saxena.

Both become worried.

In hall

Raman and Ishita went to receive Saxena.

Rajan and Madhavi were first to come and followed by Aman and Harshad.

"Namaste, please come in “ Raman welcomed them politely which brought a smirk on Saxena's face. All sat in the hall and Manik and cabir were standing near a raman chair facing the staircase.

Raman introduces "this my wife Ishita Murthy and my son Abhimanyu".

Madhavi said "oh but your son has married a middle class girl right, how did you accept that. Because you know, we have class and status". Which made Murthy angry, but they didn't say anything.

"We just don't see class or status, we see other hearts because status will not last for long". Said Abhi rudely which made Saxena angry specially Aman and Harshad. He closes his mouth when Raman glares at him.

"Can you call my daughter-in-law, we have come to see her only?"asked Rajan. Ishita sent one servant to call Nandini down. Aman was eagerly waiting to see his Nandini

"Brother,please control yourself. Babhi will come soon. By seeing you I am thinking you won't even marry bhabhi straight..."Harshad wink at aman. Aman passed an angry glare and eye "shut up".

They all heard a Payal sound which made Manik's heart beat fast . He didn't see Nandini, he was just looking down. When he looks at her his breath and heartbeat at once because she is looking like an angel who came down from heaven. Not only him, everyone present there looking at Nandini with wide eyes because she is so beautiful. She came with Navya and Mukthi and stood beside her parents.

Aman was just lost in her beauty, and he doesn't know that someone is angrily boarding at him.

Screen freeze at aman face,Nandini face who is looking down and someone angry face 😋
