Everyone starts having their lunch with laughter and cracking jokes and especially teasing the newly wed couple who didn't dared to say anything and ate their food in silence.

They finished the lunch and were sitting in living room while chatting away when Ishita suggested Nandini to take Manik to her room to rest for few hours till the Vidaai takes place later in the night.

Nandini nodding her head and looks at Manik who gives a soft smile to her and stood up and starts following Nandini. Nandini blushed when she heard the youngster cheering and teasing Manik as they starts making their way to her room.

Nandini pushed the door of her room and enters inside and looks at Manik who stood at there admiring the room. It's very first time he entered in the room and seeing it at daytime. Last time he came into her room as during night and he did miss a lot of everything. Now he looks at her room. Her room is completely different from his name.

His thoughts were broken by Nandini who clears her throat and looks at him who closing the door comes beside her and taking her hand in his looks at her.

He leans forward cupping her face with his free hand and stealing a glance of her placed a kiss on her head. He strokes her cheek softly and stares her.

Manik : sunshine! You have no idea how my life has changed within a blink of few months. I don't know what magic you have but my life is so much better and beautiful after when you came into my life. I couldn't thank enough to god and our parents for bringing us together. Now you are officially my wife. This feels so bliss and wonderful to call you as my wife. Mrs Nandini Manik Malthora. I could literally get used to this. You look absolutely stunning today.

Her heart thumped so fast as she heard his words and that deeply touched her heart. Her stomach was filled with butterflies. Her body shivers up as she looks at him with tears steaming in her eyes.

He chuckles and brushed his thumb against her cheeks wiping the tears off and embrace her into a tight and warm hug. He wraps his arm around her body and hid himself into her neck.

Nandini also wrapping her arms around his chest hid herself in his chest and cried silently. He starts caressing her hair gently and staying in hug longer than usual he decided to break the hug. He broke the hug and cupping her face placed a kiss on her head.

Manik : please sunshine. I don't want to see tears in your eyes. It really hurts over here when I see you crying and I can't even stop you from crying.

He looks at her while pointing at his heart and she chuckles wiping her tears and hugs him again resting her head on his chest listening to his heartbeats.

The mansion looked silent and sad because it was time of Nandini's Vidaai. Her family was breaking into tears as the time closer to the Vidaai of Nandini's. Ishita controlling her tears back got the everything ready for the Vidaai and looks at Nandini who walked down the stairs with Manik behind her.

Her eyes starts tearing up as she saw Nandini coming down the stairs. It was a moment to break down seeing her daughter who leave the house where she grew up throughout her childhood.

Ishita holding her tears back took a deep sigh and went to Nandini who look at her mother and within seconds they both crashed into each other arms and starts sobbing loudly. Everyone also comes out.

Everyone looked disheartened and unhappy about the situation where the bride has to leave her house and family behind to start new beginning of her life but there is nothing can changed.

It really broke their heart seeing Nandini and Ishita crying their heart out. Manik's heart broke seeing his wife crying like this but he couldn't do anything to stop her from crying. Raman composing himself went to them and placed his hand on Ishita's shoulder who didn't move away but kept crying.

Raman : ishita. Please stop crying. You need to be strong. Our daughter got a beautiful and loving family. Look at our daughter. You will fall ill if you don't stop crying. Princess you should also stop eying. I can't see my ladies crying.

Ishita broke the hug and cupping Nandini's face wipes her tears off and looks at her with a sad smile.

Ishita: my Nandini. Princess . I am going to miss every second minute spend with you. I will mis you so much. Our mansion is going to be so empty and quiet without you. How will we survive without you?I love you so much Nandini. Take care of yourself and calls us whenever you feel need to talk to us. We are always with you princess.

Nandini nodded her head while fresh tears streaming down her cheeks. Her tears wouldn't stop flowing no matter how much she tries holding her tears back. Hugging her father and crying in his arms and telling him how terrible she will miss him.

Nandini broke the hug and roams her eyes finding her brother who was nowhere to be seen. She knows he must be hiding and crying. He had always tease her that he would never cry on her wedding when she leaves the mansion. Her heart sank as she looks at her parents who shakes their head.

Nandini wiping her tears walks back towards the stairs and went to Abhi's room where he was hiding since the Pooja and didn't leave the room.

She pushed the door and found him sitting on couch holding their childhoods photo album and crying. Nandini wiping her tears and walking towards Abhi calls his name out who snaps his head closing the album and stood up looking at Nandini.

Nandini : Bhai! Won't you hug me for the last time? Won't you scold me? Won't you complain to me? Won't you miss me? Won't you...

Her sentence was cut off when Abhi embrace her in his arms and burst into tears. Nandini also sobbed hugging Abhi back. They both cried their heart out.

Their family stood by the door and watched them with their own eyes filled with tears. It broke their heart.

Abhi : don't. Ever say the last time baby doll. I Sonya want anything to be said last time. I was so stupid and delusional thinking I wouldn't cry at your wedding when leave us but this actually hit different way. It really hits me and made realise my baby doll isn't going to stay with us but living another house away from us. Baby doll I am going to miss you so much. I am going to miss everything about us. I don't you to leave me or our house. Please stay back. I promise I won't fight with you. I won't complain or tease you. I will let you steal my clothes. Just please don't leave me. What will I do without you baby doll?

Nandini whimpered hugging him so tight not wanting to leave him. Abhi tightens the hug and cried his heart out not wanting to let his baby doll go out of his embrace. Raman composing himself and holding his emotions back comes to them and their calls their name out. They broke the hug and looks at Raman who hugs them and cried a little.

Everyone moves out of the mansion after being emotional and heartbroken. Nandini hugs her last time and cried her heart out and looks at them.

Abhi looks at Manik and placed Nandini's hand on Manik's hand and looks at him.

Abhi : I am giving you my baby doll. If you ever hurt then true you will see different side of mine that you can never imagine Manik. Please take it my baby doll. Never hurt her. She too precious to us.

Manik : Abhi. You don't need to worry. I will protect your sister. She is my wife too. I will never hurt you. Trust me. You have my words. She is very precious to me as well much as she is to yours.

Abhi blinks his eyes and hugging them last time opens the door and gestures Nandini to get inside. Nandini sits inside the car and rolling the window looks at her family who stood behind waving at her.

She waves back at them and kept staring at them until they were out of her slight. Nandini looks at Manik who handed her handkerchief. She took it and wipes her tears off and placed her head on his head and closed her eyes feels so exhausted.

Manik looks at his wife who has fallen asleep. He smiles and dropped a kiss on her head and intertwined their hands and rested it on his lap.

He starts caressing her hair with his free hand and gently rubbed her hand that he was holding.

They arrived to Malthora's mansion and Manik looks at his wife who looked absolutely adorable while sleeping. He didn't have heart to wake her up but with heavy heart he whispers her name softly.

Her eyes flutters opens as she looks around and looks at him while sitting up and yawning loudly. He chuckles and dropped a kiss on her head.

Nandini : where are we? Did I fall asleep?

Manik : we arrived at home sunshine. Yes you did but there nothing to be worried. Come now.

She nodded her head and looks at him who rushed outside opening the door and went to her side and opening the door and forwarding his hand at her.

She looks at him with a smile and placing her hand in his she comes out and looks at the mansion.

Manik held her hand and starts going towards the mansion and stopped at the entrance finding their family and friends who waiting for them to welcome them. Neyoinka smiles and looks at them to do their aarti.

Neyoinka starts taking their Aarti and showered some flowers on them. She smiles widely and passed the aarti plate to Raj who smiles looking at them.

Neyoinka: Nandini beta, now slightly kick this and come inside.

Nandini nodded her head slightly kicked the pot that wad filled with a rice and walked inside. Then she was told by Neyoinka to put of her foot in sliver plate that was filled with red colour and walks inside leaving her footprints behind she walks inside.

Nandini nodded her and following the instructions lifts her lengha up and putting her foot in sliver plate she walks inside leaving her footprints behind as she made her way inside the mansion with Manik.

Everyone sat around Manik and Nandini and Divided themselves into a two groups and looks at them with smirk and teasing smiles on their faces.

Mukti brought big sliver bowl that was filled with milk and flowers and placed front of Manik and Nandini who understood what was going to happen next. Mukti sat beside Nandini and taking new ring drops it in bowl and mixed it very well and looks at them with a smile.

Mukti : Bhai and Bhabhi. By now you know what's the next ritual. I don't think I need to explain what you guys need to do. I will count on threes then we can start. And yes no cheating is allowed.

Manik nodded his head and looks at his wife and winks at her who blushed but then immediately put a smirk face and winks at him making him surprise.

Mukti counted on threes and Manik and Nandini sharing a look dipping their hands and starts looking for the rings making everyone else cheer for them.

Everyone was cheering for Nandini and supporting her whereas Manik had little supporters that includes his mother and his buddy Dhruv and others betrayed him to support his wife Nandini.

Nandini looks at Manik and smirks pulling the ring gaining a loud cheers and applauses of appreciation from his friends and her friends who tagged along wanted to see the rituals.

Cabir : Nandini. You're the best. I know you will you win because I know Manik don't deserve the win.

Nandini chuckles and nodded her head agreeing to Cabir and starts looking ring for the second around. Manik smirks and held her hand making her look at him. She pinched his hand and withdrew her hand back and start looking for the ring.

Manik looked defeated when Nandini pulled out of the ring second time and knowing he can't win against his wife. He shakes his head and giving deathly glares looks at his wife who smirks at him.

He rolls his eyes and puts his hand in the bowl and starts looking for the ring. This time he wanted win so he tried his hardest and put his whole focus on it but at the end he lose it again because his wife played too smartly pulling the ring making everyone scream and cheer for her in a victory.

Manik sulked at himself and looks at his friends who didn't even appreciate him all. After the fun and teasing Manik for the loose Neyoinka send everyone to their room and looks at Nandini .

Neyoinka : Mukti go take Nandini to the room. Nandini beta go and sleep. It's very night. You look exhausted and sleepy. Go and sleep.
