Next day Manik woke up early and decided to hit the gym because he hadn't been doing his workout. He felt the need of his workout. He got change in tracksuit and white t-shirt, he puts his shoes on.

He connects his EarPods and turning the music on his phone walks out of the room and headed to the gym. He looked very happy and relaxed entering inside the gym. He kept his phone side and starts doing his normal regular workout exercises.

Sweats formed over his body as he did the workout. He wipes the sweats over his forehead he took his phone while opening the water bottle took a sip while checking his phone. He thought to message Nandini. He dropped her morning message.

He puts his phone and drank some water then placing the water bottle on side decided to do few more stretches before walking out of the gym room.

He puts his phone on charging and ruffling his hair made his way to his closet. He opens the closet and taking his clothes he kept it on the bed.

He wrapped a towel around his neck while walking into washroom. He closed the door and undressing himself stepped in the room. He felt so relaxed after the workout and having a cold shower.

He turns the shower off and wrapping a towel around his waist opens the washroom door and walks out while ruffling his wet hair, being lost in Nandini's dream. He looked so lost didn't realise when a pillow came cross hitting his face.

He groans coming out of his trance and looks at two of his stupid friends who sat on the bed grinning.
He walks towards throwing pillow at them.

Manik : what the hell was that Dhruv & cabir? What are you both doing in my room this early? This is way to brag into someone's room invading their person space. Don't you have manners left in you?

Cabir : our parents never taught us any manners. I thought we are brothers forever then why do you need privacy from us Manik. What do you have, that we don't have?

Manik smacked Cabir's head and made disgusted face hearing him and not giving them any heed picks his clothes and moves to washroom to get changed.

Cabir and Dhruv laughs out when Manik comes out of washroom dressed in a suit. Cabir starts to whistle seeing Manik who rolled his eyes making his way towards the dressing table and setting his hair.

Cabir : how handsome and attractive you look dressed in a suit Manik? I don't know about the rest of the girls but I can definitely be sure our Bhabhi will be faint seeing to like this.

Manik stops brushing his hair and turns around gasping at Cabir in a shock realising his words.

Manik : what are you saying Cabir? Have you lost your mind? Why am I even your friend with you?

Cabir : because you love me Manik. You can't deny that. I always knew you secretly loved me more than rest. Why are you trying to hulk hiding the truth?

Manik looks at him with confused face and rolling his eyes turns around getting ready. Cabir didn't stopped pulling Manik's legs whereas Dhruv sat there enjoying every minute of their banters.

Manik got ready and unplugs his phone from charging and shoved in his pocket. He then moves to couch area picking up his laptop and turns looking at Cabir who whispered something to Dhruv.

Manik : what are you both whispering? Are you turning Dhruv against me? I didn't expect this from you Cabir. You betrayed me.

Cabir : I betrayed you Manik. Dhruv did hear what he just said. Look who is aboit betraying, the one who betrayed us. Will you tell us the truth Manik?

Manik : what are you talking about? Tell me clearly. Stop talking in a riddle. I don't understand your riddles Cabir. What did you want to know?

Cabir smirked in a victory and jumped out of bed taking his phone out and showed something this to Manik who looked surprised seeing Nandini's story.

His face flushed as he read the caption and felt his heart melting at her words. He honestly didn't expected she would put a story like this.

When he sent her request yesterday before going on dinner with her didn't thought she would accept his request this earlier because from what he knows she doesn't like having attention, and him being public figure knew she would get all the attentions.

His heart flutters as he looks at the story. He isn't a person who would use Instagram too often. He barely posts anything or looks at what is going on the social idea. His management team handles his instagram and other social media platforms for business purposes.

His thought was broken by Cabir's scream. He got startled and smacked Cabir's head walking out of the room leaving the two of puzzled by his reactions.

Cabir and Dhruv run behind Manik shouting his names grabbing other's attention who sat in living room talking to each other. Manik shook his head and greets his parents and placed a kiss on Neyoinka's cheek. He looked for Mukti.

Manik: where is Mukti? Is she still sleeping?

Neyoinka : yes! I didn't wake her up because she looked very tired. Why are they shouting?

Manik : okay! Mom, ignore them. They are being stupid right now. Is breakfast ready? I'm getting late for work. Can you please serve the breakfast please?

Neyonika nodded her head and looks at Cabir and Dhruv almost fell down the stairs while running. She shook her head and scolded them for being careless.

Neyoinka : what is happening. Why are you both running? You both almost fall down.

Cabir : auntie you won't believe what magical happened with Manik baba. Look let me show you.

Cabir took his phone and showed Nandini's story to everyone who didn't take any seconds what was happening. Neyoinka and Raj smiles and looks at Manik who rolls his eyes and moves to kitchen.

Everyone laugh out and Neyoinka slapped Cabir's head and scold him for teasing her lovey son.

Alya : isn't Manik being too cute. I didn't thought we should see Manik buying flowers for any girl.

Mukti : she isn't any girl Alya. She is going to be our Bhabhi. My Bhai is too different what he shows.

They all heard Mukti's voice who comes down the stairs and wished them good morning. All of them smiles at her and wished her back. Mukti sat next to Raj side hugging him. He smiles pecking her head.

Neyoinka: I should have guessed it. You told them about his marriage with Nandini. That's why these people are behind my son. I feel pity for my son.

Mukti grins loudly and looks at her friends who also smirks in return. Mukti couldn't resist telling them the truth. She met them yesterday and thought of pranking Manik but Cabir ruined the plan.

Mukti: didn't I make myself clear last night. We are not supposed to expose Bhai like this.

Navya : what else can you expect from Cabir Mukti. He completely ruined the whole plan.

Cabir : I didn't ruin the plan. We can still prank him.

Mukti : how? Bhai will find out and kills us. I won't be part of the plan anymore. I feel like killing you.

Cabir : Mukti! Stop being violent with me. I'll expose you front of your boyfriend. I'll tell the whole truth.

Mukti rolls her eyes his drama and the rest ignores them fighting like a child and moves to dinning room to have their breakfast.

Ishita walks through corridor and spotted Abhi. She smiles and went towards him. He smells and greets her while side hugging her and kissing her head.

Abhi : good morning Amma. Are going to wake baby doll? Can I please wake her up today?

Ishita : good morning Abhi. Yes you can wake her up. Both of you come downstairs quickly.

Abhi nodded his head and made his way towards Nandini's room. He gently pushed the door and enters inside. His eyes fell on the bed where his sister was sprawled like a crazy child under the duvet. He chuckles and shaking his head moves to window side. He pulls the curtains allowing the sun.

As the brightness of the sun hits it on Nandini's face she groans in her sleep and turns her body other side making Abhi chuckle at her antics.

He made his way and sat beside her bed. His eyes fell on bouquet of flower nicely kept in vase. He smiles brightly as he knows who brought them.

He starts caress her head while softly calling her name out.

Abhi : baby doll. Wake up. Amma is calling you.

Nandini : Bhai please let me sleep. Don't disturb me.

He chuckles and thought to prank her and shouted a lizard name where she freaked out and starts jumping on the bed fearing when Abhi mentioned about lizard.

Nandini : where is lizard? Where is it? Bhai stop laughing. Where is it? I'm scared Bhai. Please.

She turns around and found him laughing holding his stomach. She starts hitting his chest when the realisation hits her. Abhi chuckles at her.

Nandini: you're so bad Bhai. You are laughing at me. You pranked me. I hate you Bhai.

Abhi: okay, baby doll. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I won't play any prank on you ever again.

Nandini stops hitting and falls back on bed pulling the duvet to cover herself when Abhi pulls it back.

Nandini: Bhai let me sleep. I am so tired. Go away. You're disturbing my sleep. I will complain.

Abhi : who will you complain to you baby doll? Now come on get up. You know Amma made Idli Sambar for breakfast. If you don't get up then I'll eat it all.

Nandini threw the duvet and run inside the washroom leaving Abhi to chuckle at her antics.

Nandini after freshening up comes out of washroom dressed in white beans and blue top. She quickly got ready then grabs her phone. She looks at Manik's message and smiles seeing his message.

Manik : good morning Nandini. Hope you had a wonderful sleep. I'll call you when I'm free. Take care.

Nandini: good morning Manik. I had amazing sleep. I just woke up. Okay. I'll wait for your call.

She quickly replied his message and holding her phone she went downstairs to find her brother and father sitting in living room and talking about business. She shook her head and greets them.

Nandini : good morning Appa & Bhai.

Raman smiles and stops talking and side hugs Nandini. He pecks her head wishing her back.

Raman : good morning princess. Did you sleep well?

Nandini nodded at him and looks at Abhi who also got up hugging her and kissing her head.

Abhi : good morning baby doll. Appa of course she slept well. Her future husband is so caring.

Nandini glares Abhi while blushing slightly. Raman chuckles and hits Abhi's head making him pout.

Ishita comes out of kitchen and looks at them. Nandini stops blushing and hugs her mother. Ishita smiles and hugs her back and looks at them.

Nandini : good morning Amma. I'm really starving me. I heard you made idli sambar.

Ishita broke the hug and wished her back and nodded their head. They moved to dinning table and sat down. Nandini and Ishita serving the men's took their seat and sat down eating their own food.

Nandini: this is so good and yummy. I can literally eat 50 of them. They are so so delicious. Amma I love it so much. Thank you so much for making this for Breakfast. I was craving it. I love you Amma.

Ishita smiles putting some more idli in Nandini's plate and gesturing her to eat more. Nandini smiles and took more sambar while eating it.

Raman: princess when are you going to the land? Do you want me to talk to Raj first or shall I look for another land near to our office?

Nandini : I have spoken to Raj uncle. He said Manik will take me there. I'll talk to Manik first then let you know. Even I have looked at few good locations.

Raman nodded his head and eat his food. Abhi couldn't hold himself and opened his mouth.

Abhi : baby doll! I'm jealous of your would be husband. He's so perfect and sweet. He got you beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Nandini looks at him while chocking on food and glares him while ishita and Raman giggles at them.

Nandini : shut up Bhai. You are not allowed to explode my personal space. I'll block you.

Abhi rolls his eyes and opened his mouth again but was stopped by Nandini who threw a knife at him.
He got shocked and caught the knife.

Anhi : I should warm Manik too. What if you murder him too like you threw a knife at me. What will happen to poor soul? He's going to get killed so soon.

He laughed along with Raman and Ishita whereas Nandini was on a mission to kill Abhi secretly.
