Find someone who is proud to have you, scared to lose you, fights for you, appreciates you, respects you, cares for you, and loves you unconditionally.

Everyone moved out of the house to go for shopping.

"I'll go in Manik's car." Soha said.

Again Nandini's blood boiled but she anyhow controlled it.

All the couples went together and Soha went in Manan's car.

(Swara and Raj's car)

(Dhruv and Alya's car)

(Abhimanyu and Mukti's car)

(Cabir and Navya's car)

(Just in case if you have forgotten Manik's car, then here it is.
Ps: I love this car. It's Bugatti Cheron.)

Nandini and Soha were walking towards Manik's car. He was already inside as he was talking on a call. When Nandini and Soha were walking towards the car, Soha quickly increased her pace and sat on the passenger seat beside Manik. Nandini was shocked to see some other girl sitting on her place. Here inside the car Manik too saw Soha sitting on Nandini's place, he was about to tell her to go and sit back when he saw Nandini opening the back door and sitting inside. He looked back at her and she just blinked her eyes to tell him that she's fine. He smiled and started driving. While Nandini was burning from inside.

"So Manik tell me how is your business going?" Soha asked Manik by keeping her hand on his shoulders which was obviously seen by Nandini.

"Uhh-umm good! It's going good Soha!" Manik hastily said and removed her hand from his shoulder.

"Vaise Nandini, tumne konsa kala jaadu kara hai Manik par? Soha asked turning back to Nandini.

Nandini frowned.

"What?" Nandini asked.

"Are I mean jis ladke ne bachpan se kisi bhi ladki ko dekha tak nahi vo ab tumhara boyfriend hai. Isn't it weird?"  Soha said with a hidden disgust for Nandini.

Nandini gave her tight-lipped smile.

"Soha there are many people in the world who wait years for their true love to come in their life unlike some who just throw themselves on others. So it isn't weird but it's love." Nandini said and fake smiled at her.

Manik heard her answer and smiled wholeheartedly.

"Whom are you indicating to?" Soha narrowed her eyes at Nandini being offended by her words.

"Me? No. I wasn't indicating to anyone. Why are you asking anyway?" Nandini said battling her eyelashes giving her most innocent look to Soha.

Manik was having hard time to control his laughter. He was continuously biting his lips to control his laughter.

"No. Maine bas aise hi puch liya tha." Soha said and turned back to her seat cursing Nandini in her mind.

Manik looked at Nandini from the mirror and found her already looking there. He smirked and winked at her while she just gave him a flying kiss.

Soon they reached the mall. Manik got out of the car and opened the gate for Soha. Soha smirked seeing that Manik first came to her. Then Manik opened Nandini's gate and forwarded his hand for her to hold.

This gesture of Manik showed that he respects all the women but loves only one.

Soha's jaw fell on the ground seeing that. Nandini smirked at her reaction. She gave Manik her hand and came out of the car. She smiled at him and he returned the smile back. They were about to enter inside when some media people approached them. They were asking certain questions to Manik and Nandini.

"Soha you go inside and join others. Me and Nandini will come in few minutes." Manik said to Soha.

He said in such a way that Soha didn't had any excuse left to stay back. So she just nodded and left inside.

Manik and Nandini moved towards the media. Manik slid his arm to Nandini's waist and both firstly posed for the cameras.

(Isn't Dakota Johnson the cutest??😍)

Then the reporters started asking questions to them.

"Manik sir can we know the reason why you both are here?" One of the reporters asked.

"As you all know that it's Cabir and Navya's marriage in a week, so all our friends and family are here for shopping purpose." Manik said firmly.

"Sir who was the girl that came with you in your car and why was she sitting in the front seat?" Another reporter asked.

"She is a family friend of Manik and as they met after a log time so she sat in front." Nandini answered on Manik's behalf.

"Ma'am you don't have any problem with it?" The same reporter asked.

"What problem will I have if my boyfriend is sitting with his friend and talking to her in front of me?" Nandini gave the bold answer.

"Sir we know that Cavya is soon going to tie the knot but the whole India wants to know that when will Manan tie the knot?" A reporter asked.

Nandini just hid her face on Manik's shoulder while Manik laughed.

"Kaisi baatein kar rahe ho yaar? Cabir and Navya are in a relationship from more than 5 years, humein to abhi 5 months bhi nahi huye hai." Manik said laughing.

Nandini brought her face out and she too laughed.

"Yaa exactly! Right now we are in this boyfriend-girlfriend phase and we want to enjoy it to the fullest. So marriage is something which we haven't talked about yet and we don't even want to any sooner. Haina?" Nandini firstly said to the media and then lastly asked Manik.

"Yeah off course! She's right. Currently we both are happy with our relationship and not ready to take the further step." Manik said.

"Thankyou but now we need head inside." Manik said and both of them moved inside.

They entered and saw everyone waiting for them. They went to them.

"Manik Nandini we've decided that we all will shop in pairs and then after 3 hours we'll meet at the food court. What say?" Dhruv said to Manan.

"I'm okay with it." Nandini said while Manik too nodded.

"I will be with-" Before Soha could take Manik's name, Swara interrupted her.

"Me. Soha beta you will be with me and Raj. Vo actually mujhe na thodi modern sarees chahiye thi and you're a fashion model so you could just help me. Will you beta?" Swara asked Soha in a very sweet tone.

"Off course bhuaji." Soha have her a fake smile.

Swara looked at Nandini and blinked her eyes. Nandini understood that Swara did this to keep Soha away from Manik. Nandini grinned and gave her a flying kiss which Soha didn't see because she was facing her back to Nandini. Swara just chuckled at her daughter's childishness.

Soon everyone went to different stores. Manik and Nandini firstly decided to shop for Nandini. They went to a ladies store and 2 sales girl just became their tail there. They were continuously showing Nandini dresses which were not at all her type. She was getting irritated by them and Manik saw this.

"Excuse me! You can see the other customers. We'll look by ourselves." Manik said and both the girls went from there lowering their head.

Nandini looked at Manik and she knew that he had figured out that she was getting irritated.

"Thankyou!" She said and smiled at him.

He just kissed her forehead and mumbled 'no need.'

Then both of them started searching dresses for Nandini. Nandini was not getting anything which she likes. Manik was roaming and looking for the perfect clothes for his love when finally his eyes fell on something attractive. He went near it and touched it. He was examining the fabric. It was soft. He really liked the dress. He called Nandini and showed her the dress. Nandini's jaw dropped on floor.

"How? How do you always find the perfect clothes for me?" Nandini asked in a daze.

"Isse pyaar ki taqat bolte hai jaanemann." Manik said dramatically.

Nandini laughed at his tone.

"You liked it or not?" Manik asked.

"Off course I liked it baba. It's so beautiful!" Nandini said touching the fabric.

Then Manik started selecting dresses for Nandini. He selected about 10 dresses for her.

"Manik bass. Aur kitni loge?" Nandini asked.

"Ab achii lag rahi thi to leli. Anyways the best should always be reserved for my love." Manik said the last part in her ear.

"Achha baba okay but ab billing kare. Humein aapke liye bhi shopping karni hai." Nandini said and Manik nodded.

They went to billing counter, Nandini was about to give her card, when Manik held her hand and gave his card.

"Manik mai pay kar rahi thi na. Phir aapne kyu kara?" She pouted angrily.

"Princess it's okay! What's mine is yours. Achha tell me for whom do I earn this much? For you na. So now smile." Manik said and smiled at her.

Nandini just gave him a faint smile. Manik with his fingers stretched her lips in a smile and then she smiled ear to ear by herself.
