Everyone took sit and butler starts serving them. They all starts to relish the food. Manik who sits beside Nandini under the table holds her hand and starts with his left hand not caring about what she was going through.

Nandini got startled when Manik held her hand. Her eyes went around the table and noticed everyone engrossed in their own talking. She looks at Manik and softly whispers to him.

He didn't listen or left her hand but starts rubbing his finger against her skins making her cough gaining everyone attention.

Raman : what happened princess? Are you okay?

Nandini drinking a glass of water and thanks Avni who passed her glass water looks at Raman nodding her head before looking down and avoiding everyone's gaze.

Neil smirks looking at his brother and immediately understood what was happening. His eyes also landed on Avni who was sitting beside him and keeping aside peas.

He chuckles and thought how cute she is. He bends down and quietly whispers startling her.

Neil : you don't like peas. Do you?

She looks at him and got so nervous seeing their closeness. Her body starts to shiver up. Her cheek starts to heat up as she looks into his eyes.

She looks away and composing herself looks at him before answering his question.

Avni : right! I don't like peas. Do you like it? I don't want to waste it nor I want to eat them. Can you please do me favour? Can you have them?
