Manik looked at the Murphy mansion getting all decked up in flowers and decors for the engagement and ordered a maid to use more orchids and try to make a way for rose carpet. Nandini loves such gestures.

Manik who never did anything close to romance has now achieved the king of romance award from Nandini because of how he was doing things for her, sometimes by thinking and sometimes google is his partner at night.

He remembered how they romanced in the movie hall and didn't realised when the movie ended.

They both went to theater Times Square and didn't realised which movie they chose.

They chose an Disney movie without any realisation and even sat through it all without watching as Manik and Nandini were very busy in looking at each other.

Nandini held his hand and kissed his palm while Manik who smiled at this, smirked his devilish grin. Both took the most secluded corner, so were in no site of others. Manik pulled her on him and made her sit on his lap, making her blush more than anything and kissed her forehead.

Nandini hid her face in the crook of his neck and held his shoulders tightly and bit his neck harshly and licking it with her tongue while smiling coyly. Manik who was shivering was shocked by her actions, while enjoying also. He realised that there are so many shades of this girl that he missed. She was shy but as well as good with expressing her feelings. She will kiss him herself, will take initiatives but just not in front of everyone, not because she is ashamed or something but because she likes her privacy and is able to express them more easily. He likes her taking initiatives and behaving herself without pretense, not that she did any before.

While Nandini was done licking his neck, she went to his earlobe and swirled her tongue there, Manik shivered and held her waist tightly while inhaling a huge amount of air. He was aroused, with her on his lap, licking him, more sensually erotic thoughts were coming in his mind and nothing he can do right now will stop them.

His hand found way to the inside of her top and caressed her back making her arc her back while keeping herself close to him, her chest rubbing to his and Manik who felt her that close pulled her head to his and kissed her with all he had. Tongues swirling and fighting for dominance, none ready to give in, tasting every nook and cranny, they both tasted each other like it was the last but enjoying every part of it, the lips rubbing and hands roaming up and down.

In the background the voice of beauty and beast talking and laughing was somewhere lost for them.

Nandini and Manik pulled back and breathed heavily while a sweet smile on their swollen lips blooming both their faces like flowers making them feel blessed. The kiss was everything that Nandini and Manik can ever express every feeling of theirs with.

Manik who got up from
Nandini kept her forehead on his and breathed harshly while smiling with her cheeks flushed and eyes closed.

Manik who was just gawking at her face like a hawk was also breathing hard and all he wanted was to kiss her again and again, the background tune of the beauty and beast dancing was a very matching and relieving tune to them. They both hugged each other and just stayed in the hug for an long as they can and neither of the two realised when the movie ended and just woke up from their dream like state when they heard the applause.

They both got up and moved out from there to their car to go home. Their home, as Manik is living in the Murphy mansion for the time being. Not that it wasn't his home, he has been loving there for a good time and has spent his childhood there as well. He was more loved by Cabir's father than Cabir himself.

Manik woke up from his dream and smiled to himself realising how much he get lost in these dreams and moments, how much moments he has been making with her and even dreaming some more. He never realised life could be so beautiful until she entered in his. She was the beauty of his life. And she was his and his only.

Nandini who was getting ready for the engagement ceremony wore the dress that made her look like a real fairy in red and her dear Ken ready in his tuxedo forwarded his hand and she held onto him and tiptoed to kiss the corner of his lips and wipped his mouth to erase the mark of red kiss. Even though Manik would have rather kept it for the show.

Nandini noticed Manik looking all happy by eyes but his lips all cold and straight. Her family and Manik smiled at no-one but her.

Manik helped her walk on the path of roses made only for her and then made her sit in the cadence decorated with floral loops around the ropes and all looking like a fairy swing. Nandini in it looked like a princess and when Manik took his seat beside hers, they looked amazing and like a real prince and princess.

Manik kissed her forehead and her father announced the start of engagement.

Manik and Nandini stood up from the cadence and walked towards the stage as Nandini's father called them and the rings were brought by some relative of Nandini and she blushed when Manik took her hand and made her wear her ring of his name and kissed her hand. People who looked at the couple smiled at them, some envied them for being perfect as the couple looked literally from Hollywood and hauntingly beautiful.

Girls were envious of Nandini for catching a big fish in her trap of innocence and were wishing to be on her place.

Boys were jealous because the beauty was now not in their reach anymore, not that she ever was but still.

Nandini also made Manik wear her name ring and kissed her cheek and Cabir and her father hugged both of them kissing her forehead and slapping Manik's back.

"I am giving you my sister but remember that if one tear came in her eyes, I will take her back and you will never see her again." Manik nodded with utmost sincerity and smiled at him promising her happiness.

Nandini smiled at her brother and kissed his cheeks while holding Manik's hand and both went back to the cadence. Nandini looked at Manik and noticed a lipstick mark and realised that he got it from her when she hugged him out of joy and was about to tell him when she noticed the girls all looking at her in jealousy and realised they were thinking about the mark making stories and imaginations of the possibility of getting a mark like that on the shirt.

Nandini smiled and thought to not tell Manik and he can wear only mark of hers and no one's since he is hers now.

Anira came towards them and smiled at the beautiful couple and hugged Nandini while shaking hands with Manik and warning him the same as Cabir.

She also brought a guy with her who when Nandini noticed hugged him and pulled Manik with her to introduce him.

"Manik, this is Yuvraj, my best friend from college and even best bodyguard. He kept every boy away from me as a brother, he is also Cabir' bro's good friend." Manik who heard her explanation smiled at the guy and thanked him for keeping his girl safe.

Manik and Nandini spoke with everyone, thanking them for the wishes and left the space unnoticed when everyone got busy in their own talk and went to the garden.

Manik closed Nandini's eyes with his hand and walked towards some corner in garden and then took his hand away from her eyes and smiled at her as her face showed myriads of emotions, happiness, shock, surprise, and most of all amazed bubble of shine in her eyes.

Manik once heard Nandini talking how she wanted to write her name on the sky and that's what he did for her, he wrote her name on sky with fireworks in the background.

Her face was ecstatic when she looked at him and fused their lips in a hungry and full of love kiss.

The love in her eyes could bind the sky and so much more. She could make the world dance on her tunes if she smiles like that, her smile was something no one can ever ignore rather would bring the earth down on the floor her feats walked on. She was the girl that can make him do every little thing for her with love and immense passion.

"I love you." Nandini spoke and Manik's face snapped at her's on the speed that can snap his neck, literally.
