All were excited for the next day the ring ceremony day….. that night manik wasn’t able to sleep, all he wanted was the night to get over asap & the same was happening with nandini. It was around 3 am when nandini unintentionally called manik & to her surprise he picked up the call, within a second.
Manik: hello…
Nandini: manik… tum soye nhi…. I told u na to rest!!
Manik: u too aren’t asleep madam…. Tell me what happened???
Nandini: nothing… I wasn’t feeling sleepy.
Manik: same here…
Nandini: manik I don’t knw y but I m feeling very restless…. I mean, frm tomorrow a new phase of our lives is gonna start….
Manik: a new & a better phase…. See as such nothing much is gonna change… u were till now living away frm ur family n now also it will be the same… our routines will be the same…. The only thing that is gonna change is that now we both will be together always…
Nandini: I was waiting 4 this day frm 7 long yrs…
Manik: but 1 major thing is gonna change 4 u…
Nandini: what???
Manik: after 4 days, u’ll officially be named as Mrs. Monster Manik Malhotra…..
Nandini: ohh… I seriously didn’t even realize this….. after this I will also be a part of ur monster clan…. What should I do now???? I think its never too late to back off so shall i??
Manik: think of it & see what this monster does to u…. if u do any stupid thing now, then I warn u I’ll not leave u…. I’ll forcefully marry u….
Nandini: like really….. u think u can do so…
Manik: yes…
Nandini: ohh then u r very wrong Mr. Manik Malhotra…. Bcoz the key to handle u is with me… ur heart is wid me… I hv stolen it frm u long back….
Manik smiled at her words and looked towards her photograph in front of him, in his room. His tone changed from a naughty one to a romantic one & he said,
Manik: I agree.
Nandini: achcha now enough of fun…. Now go and sleep, otherwise u’ll feel weak tomorrow.
Manik: same goes with u …. Sleep now.
And with this both of them fell asleep. The next day was a really hectic one, everyone was busy in something or the other. And the major trouble was that they had to hide it all from the press. Only very few VVIP’s were invited. And about 10 to 15 guests from Australia n London, including Albert. The ceremony was going to start at 8 pm. It was around 5 when nandini was sitting in her room, talking to her fireflies (glowing brightly) with kavya sleeping by her side. Aliya entered the room n said,
Aliya: nandini…. It’s ur ring ceremony how can u be so calm….
Nandini: I m so calm bcoz I hv the world’s bestest frndz to organize my wedding. I knw nothing can go wrong till u all r wid me n manik.
Aliya hugged her n said,
Aliya: I really missed u all these yrs… u hv helped me so much, ur words, ur actions, I seem to learn something from u every time.
Nandini: thank u 4 understanding me… and forgiving me for my deeds.
Aliya: enough of this emotional drama now…. See its already 5:15, v hv to leave for the venue till 7:30. Be fast n get ready….
Aliya picked up her phone n called dhruv, “dhruv where is nandini’s beautician…. What do u mean she hasn’t arrived I told her to be here by 5…… how can I calm down yr…… ohk send her fast…
Aliya disconnected the call & 15 mins later two girls entered the room. As they came aliya instructed them about how she wanted them to get nandini ready. Being a perfectionist she wanted everything to be perfect. Soon all the others also got ready.
On the other side at manik’s place all the guys were getting ready as they wanted to meet their partners as soon as possible. It was 6:30, when dhruliya & cavya reached the venue to check the last time preparations. They wanted everything to be the best, afterall it was the Manik Malhotra’s ring ceremony. As hr latr nandini along with mukti n her family left cabir’s place to reach the venue & manik left his place with cabir. They reached the venue together & entered hand in hand. They were welcomed by a loud roar by the crowd. A few mins latr, it was time for the rings to be exchanged. Manik & nandini stood at the centre, with fab4, navya, abhi & nandini’s family. But before they got the rings nandini whispered in manik’s ears,
Nandini: manik!!!
Manik: yes nandini… say…
Nandini: nyonika maam nhi ayi??
Manik smiled at her and turned towards cabir & said,
Manik: cabir…. Any news about nyonika???...... will she be coming???
Cabir: manik…. I personally went & handed over the card to her, she said she’ll come but I don’t knw why she isn’t here yet.
Manik: chal thik h…
Manik again turned towards nandini n said,
Manik: she told cabir that she’ll come…. Let’s wait another 5 mins & then we’ll start.
Nandini smiled at him and agreed 2 mins later nyonika entered the hall. Manik was talking to dhruv & thus didn’t notice. Nandini held his hand & told him about her presence. Nyonika stared at the couple in a blank expression. While nandini smiled on seeing her. Manik turned towards nandini & was smiling seeing her smile. Just then mukti noticed nyonika n said,
Mukti: what the hell is she doing here.. Who invited her??
She was about to go towards nyonika when cabir stopped her said,
Cabir: manik has invited her…
Mukti: what???
Cabir: yes… nandini wanted her to be here…
Mukti calmed down n soon the couple exchanged their rings. And as manik expected nandini was very happy seeing the ring he got for her. As soon as the rings were exchanged amms did some pooja with the two of them. After that it went on as a normal party. Fab5 introduced nandini to many VVIP’S of the town. After some time Cabir came up on the mike & started,
Cabir: and now we have something really special for nandini frm our one n only manik….. so plz every1 give a loud round of applause for manik malhotra.
Just then manik came from the back with his guitar in his hands n started
Waaqif toh huey tere dil ki baat se
Chhupaya jise tune qaaynaat se
Waaqif toh huey tere uss khayal se
Chhupaya jise tune apne aap se
Kahin na kahin teri aankhein,
teri baatein padh rahe hain hum
Kahin na kahin tere dil mein,
dhadkano mein dhal rahe hain hum
Tu Har Lamha.. tha mujhse juda..
Chaahe door tha main.. yaa paas rahaa
Uss din tu haan udaas rahe
tujhe jis din hum na dikhe na miley
Uss din tu chup-chaap rahe
tujhe jis din kuch na kahe na suney
Main hoon bann chuka, jeene ki ik wajah
Iss baat ko khud se tu na chupaa..
Tu Har Lamha.. tha mujhse juda..
Chaahe door tha main.. yaa paas rahaa
Lab se bhale tu kuch na kahe
Tere dil mein hum hi toh base yaa rahe
Saansein teri iqraar kare
Tera haath agar chhulein, pakde
Teri khwahishein kar bhi de tu bayaan
Yehi waqt hai inke izhaar ka..
Tu Har Lamha.. tha mujhse juda..
Chaahe door tha main.. yaa paas rahaa
Every1 clapped for manik as he kept on hugging nandini. Nyonika looked towards them in anger. After sometime nandini was standing with Rishab n navya when she noticed nyonika on the other side of the hall. She excused herself & walked towards her, as she approached nyonika,
Nyonika: congratulations nandini… finally u both r together.
Nandini: thank u very much ma’am….. but sorry to say I really can’t guess frm ur tone that u r happy with this or not.
Nyonika: ohh do u really care for that..
Nandini: nah… not at all… and moreover u r no one for manik… now unlike before, u cannot do anythink to manik…. ur paths are totally different frm ours…
Nyonika: ohk so then tell me one thing….. I m sure manik will never wish to call me for his marriage, so tell me y did u ask him to call me.
Nandini smiled at her question.
On the other hand manik asked Rishab,
Manik: Rishab…. Where is nandini??
Rishab: pata nhi jiju…. She was here just now, maybe navya di knows…
Manik: (to navya) hey where is nandini??
Navya: I don’t knw, I was with sameer & kavya…
Manik started looking here n there for nandini… just then Dhruv spotted her with nyonika. He held manik’s hand n said,
Dhruv: buddy…. There she is….
He showed him the place where nandini was standing with nyonika.
Manik: (full of anger) what the hell is she doing with nandini…???
Manik stromed towards that place in anger…. As he reached he heard nyonika asking her the reason to call her to the party. Nandini smiled at her n said,
Nandini: ma’am manik is now not what u made him…. He is totally a new person with a pure soul. It was no need 4 me to say anything to him. We r staring a new life in a couple of days & I wanted u to see this new manik…. who is mine….
Manik went further close, this time not angry & placed his hand around nandini’s waist. He smiled at nyonika n said,
Manik: hello nyonika….. how r u doing??? Hope u r enjoying the party.
Nyonika stared at him in a shocking expression.
Manik: thank u very much 4 being a part of our happiness…. I hope we’ll get to see u on the marriage day as well…
Nyonika: yeah sure…
Manik: so now if u don’t mind….. Can I plz excuse my to be wife from here..
Nyonika: off course….. she is all ur’s after all….
Manik turned with nandini n started walking back.
Nandini: manik just a second…
Nandini again turned towards nyonika & said,
Nandini: though u r not deserving much… but whatever it is the truth remains that u r his mother… so I wish for his mother’s blessings once…..
Nandini bent down n touched nyonika’s feet. She smiled at nyonika & then left with manik.
Manik: thank u nandini…
Nandini: for what???
Manik: 4 the thing which u said to her just before I came there.
Nandini: it was simply the truth… u don’t need to thank me….
They all enjoyed the rest of the party in a grand way. And soon called the day off..
Precap: mehendi & sangeet ceremony at manik’s place…
