5 years ago if someone would have said That... Manik you will get married to someone whom you loves then I would have literally laughed out loud and would have changed the topic there itself. But looking at me now, even I don't believe that I am going get married to the love of my life. Who would have said that the girl who bumped into me just fullfill some dare given to her by some seniors would eventually become the most beautiful part and the most important person in my life. I am glad that we have fully passed on with all the tests and evilness that fell on our path, creating problems. I still remember how she came towards me with trembling in fear as if I would eat her up.....

Flashback

Finally last year of my college let's see what is stored for me this year. Thinking I was just entered inside the college only to get bumped by a little tiny girl. I think galti se College campus main aai hogi. I managed myself from falling and even he'd that tiny girl from falling too, out of concern I asked her, "are you fine?"

"Uuhhuu...Uhhuu, I am sorry bu...but I want to sa...say something t....to you" she was shaking while saying. What a voice but wait why the hell isn't she looking at me!!

"Ohk...ummm what's it you wanna say?" Finally she looked at me and let me say a thing she was looking so cute and innocent but I can't just look at her dreamily yaar I have a girlfriend. Agar uss afaat ko malum pada ki I m looking at girl. She won't let me and this cute girl leave in peace so I decided to look at the main issue but as usual she wasn't opening her mouth to say a thing, well obviously she is drowned in my thoughts

"I know I look handsome but will you say what you wanted to?" I wanted to smile looking at her face which opened like a O shape, but I controlled myself and heard her saying. But the thing she told shooked me to the core

"Welll......I love you"

"Huh?" Thts all I could say.... But looking at my shocked face she must have gathered her courage and looked at me this time with a brave look and said, "we'll see Mr... I know I said that stupid three words to you but I swear I didn't wanted to but those stupid seniors are full ready for ragging and not to disappoint them I have to complete this dare and move away....so sorry for this." Ok now I was confused to hell. The same girl who was trembling while talking to me was now talking like this. She is feisty man. But if she could answer this well then why the hell she was tolerating their ragging, "if you are this bold then? Why didn't you say anything to them?"

"Even though I am a new joinee for second  year, shouldn't have ragged me but if they wants let them bhi na... And even the dare wasn't tough so it's was ok from my side, well Mr?" Well smart thought. Abh so hua jo hua.. muje kya. If she doesn't have any issues then why me. But later on asking my nme I just said it,"Manik...Manik Malhotra !!"

"Oh yes So manik will see soon again if the oopar wala wants then see yaa"  well I loved her attitude, but her Behaviour is somewhat confusing to me... But chuckling the thoughts even I went to my class.

Flashback end

That's where I saw her first. But as a stupid boy I am I didn't asked her name. Unknowingly everyday I used to look for her in the college premises but the weirdest thing was I didn't see her anytime soon the next time I meet her was when I was with my mom. But let me again say one thing that was jackpot for me, even though that time I was not acting like sweet towards her which I wanted to but I didn't.

Flashback

Today along with me even My mom came to the college why because there is a trustee meeting and being one of the  trustee of the college my mom came to the meeting. But again this time the moment we both entered the college premises my mom bumped into someone. Mom leaned back towards me but the person fell down yelling and "ouchhh!!"

Ok so I recognised this soung the name voice I was looking for. It's been 2 months I saw her again and heard her. But this time I don't wanted to be disappointed so I yelled her fakely, "What the hell Miss, you only know how to bump into anyone.?"

But she wasn't even looking up towards me. Mom slapped me at my shoulder and scolded me making me realise one thing, "stupid first help her out to get up then talk"

I was actually mad to shout at her without looking if she got hurt or not. But before I could help her getting up she stood up and dusted her dress straightening herself, she was all ready to blast on us but stopped herself looking towards my mom, even mom was looking at her with a confused face I  was confused myself seeing both the ladies staring at eachother but startling me next they were hugging eachother like they were some long lost buddies meeting after long time. They were so into eachother that they forgot that even I was standing their.

"Uuuuuuu....uhhuuu even I am here ladies... And mom do you know her? That you are hugging eachother like you both are some best buddies meeting after so long?" But do you really thing I would get the answer. No I didn't get the answer instead I heard that tiny girl asking my mom, "Neyoni.... I am so happy to see you, and is this your monster son whom you always talked about?"

"Yes this monster son is mine.... How are you Nanu....how are bhabi and Anand bhai? Sab thik hain na?" Ohk so I got it they know eachother but what the hell are they addressing myself as monster.

"What the hell mom Monster seriously and who is she?" I was jumping inside to know her name and getting to know it I so wanted to jump and dance happily but restraint myself.

"She is Nandini Murthy. You do remember your dad always says about Anand Murthy....? She is her daughter so. We have met eachother. But noe it's been almost 2 years we saw eachother. Isliye" after that it was normal talks to eachother.

Flashback end

After that mom forced me and nandini to bunked the class and we went yo Nandini's house informing my dd and from that day onwards it was a ritual to meet every Sunday with her family and eventually through that we were coming close to eachother. I didn't know about her feelings but mine was increasing to its tenth fold. I was  in love with my tiny girl. But as I was all set to tell and confess about my feelings towards her. There entered a main character of our life to which I will hate till my last breath. DEV MALIK Nandini's bestfriend. But the Moment I saw him I knew he isn't what he himself shows him to be. But I didn't wanted to interfere in their friendship. She was always happy whenever she is with him. You all must be thinking that I would be jealous n all no I wasn't but if say properly then I had this fear of him being with her because he wasn't giving me any postive vibes at all. And this was officially got proven when My and Nandini's Family decided our marriage. Well that's whole together different thing.

Flashback

I and Nandini was asusal bickering fighting with eachother in between all this I noticed our parents indicating eachother to say something and I think even Nandini noticed it so she bluntly asked raising her brows. She is looking so cute by the way, "what is it Maa Paaa.. Neyoni and Raju? What you guys want to say?"

Dad cleared his voice and looking at both of us started, "well kids you we wanted to say something to you guys, but before that just keep it in your mind that we won't do anything which wouldn't be good for you. We both families have decided and talked and thought a lot about this and then finally saying it to you!"

Now this think was scaring me, but before me or Nandini could ask more Paa continued giving both me and nandini a electrifying shock, "we want you both to get married to eachother. I know you guys think eachother as friends and all but we think this is the best for both of you. So please kids just think about it and answer this ok? We won't think any bad for you just remember that." Well I was jumping in joy mentally learning that i would marry Nandini haaye... But this joy went into bin listening to Nandini answering.

"Paa and Raju I know you won't think bad for us but sorry I can't marry Manik... Paa I can't?" Why is nandini saying all this am I  it perfect for her why doesn't shewant to marry me?

"Why ammu? Is their any issues between you both, we can sort it out then, just because if that we can't jump into conclusion baby." Paa was sounding really sad. I think he so wanted us to get married, but I was mentally yelling that we dint have any such issues between us Paaa. But asusal I was shut in front them.

"Haa ammu don't think in a stupid way every friendship me jagada hota he. Don't that thing come between your thoughts please." Even Maa asked to do the same. But Papa ko bichme aana hi hain. But it's kind of good let see what she would say,"Anand just keep shut re let her talk or say what she want to.. kiddo abh bolo why you don't want  to marry him?"

"Raju.. I know it's his part to say but listening this topic I think I should say it loud. Actually I can't Manik because he is already in a relationship with Aliya. His girlfriend and he being in a relationship doesn't make it good for me to marring him Paa" what the hell Aliya kaha se aai? But wait how the hell did she know about me being in a relationship. And upar this girl. But before anyone could say anything even without realizing I yelled,

"Ayyyy. I don't have any girlfriend... Specially that Aliya... Are I so hated her.... Girlfriend really she was only there with me for 3 months. That to just because I was tolerating her just because of Dad's business partner ki baiti hain isliye. Fussssshhhh... Kya yaar nandini"

But when I looked  at our parents they were looking at me with shocking look. Wait why are they looking like that. I even turned towards nandini to notice her blushing face. Wait... Ohh shit I shouted all this saying... Matlab indirectly I showed my desperation to them for marring her..... Kaha socha tha thoda attitude dikhaunga and yaha sab ulta hua

Flashback end

From that day onwards we were sticking to eachother alot. And slowly I was getting more than comfortable with her. We would go to lots of dates so tht we can come out our friendship zone. Sharing every minor details with eachother, it was like we were reding eachother like we are reading a novel. I was so glad that our parents decided this for us. I was the happiest and even she was because I could be easily seen on her face. And finally one day I decided to propose her officially infront of everyone making her surprised obviously asking our parents the permission. It's was one of her cousins Engagement ceremony when I got to know it I planned the Rest accordingly. I so remember our special day when she was glowing like a star when I proposed her.

I being belonging to rich family my ides where also like those types only but then I realised that Nandini and her family wasn't used for this type of luxury so I thought to approach and propose in a very beautiful plus natural way. The place were her cousins Engagement was at the same building on the ground floor I booked the area of pool side. The area was decorated with her favourite lily all around with vanila scent candles around the pool corner with a dining set at the corner of the area. Where it was hided by a curtain so that no one can see them. And it being the time of night the darkness was giving it a so romantic type feel that even I was excited to propose her. And finally I asked the help of Maa and Paa to bring Nandini over there

Flashback

I was waiting for my angel to appear. Why the time was not moving fast I so wanted to see her reaction seeing all this and specially me. I hope she would look beautiful in the outfit I had brought for her. Obviously being going for her cousins Engagement I have to give her the attire which would suit their too. Finger crossed

Finally I heard the small jingling sound of the pay and my attention instantly went towards the direction and the moment I saw her I was stumped on looking at her how every time she looks so beautiful. It isn't fair for my part. How would I compose myself and not let my control flow seeing her?

She was looking so elegant that I really want to grab her and attack her with my kisses. But for now let's concentrate on her. She was calling Maa.... Obviously reaching here she won't be able to meet Maa or Paa . Suddenly the light got on showing the place to her and that's when she actually noticed the place. Her smile was just widening looking at the place making her smile widely and then I decided to go and do my part.

I slowly started walking towards her without letting know her and stood exactly behind her absorbing her presence. I slowly bend down towards her ears and whispered slowly, "My girl is actually looking like an angel who just descended from heaven"

She just breathed hardly and then turned towards me and checked out on me making me swoon over her act. She looked back at my eyes and then said, " If you are planning to kill me by your looks then . MANIK you are successful in that. Let me tell you that!!"

"Obviously I have to look like tht if my Girl would like this you know I have to be on the same level to match you!!" Said winking on her.

"But Manik why I am here. Is this your plan for a new date?" Asked confusedly pouting her lips. Why she have to do that. Ohk god bless me I am going to propose her..... Help me god. I held her by my one hand and turned her towards the pool area. She noticed something is unusual so she walked forward only to gasp hard because whole pool was covered with red roses and with white lilies it was written..

"WI YOU MARRY"

And seeing her teary eyes and turning back towards me with a smile. I walked towards her helding a small heart shape box forwarding it towards her, "I am not the big fan of giving a speech of proposal and giving you or making you wear the ring. I just want to say that. From this day onwards This MANIK MALHOTRA only belongs to NANDINI MURTHY whatever happens in future I will be always there for you. And will never ever hurt you intentionally it's my word. I won't say I would make you happy always but I would promise that at the end of the day I would end the issues between us no matter what. Just have faith on me my Love.

I love you alot my princess. Will you give this prince of your hand to hold you and take into my life making you my wife? Wi you marry me?"

Saying I ended the small heart talk I said instantly without scripting it. She just stood like a statue and slowly looked at her surroundings and her face was Focused on a direction looking at the direction I saw my parents her parents and DEV'S family too. But what caught my attention was a glare from DEV which creates a havoc in my mind but I chucked it focuses back on Nandini who just forwarded her hand to me giving me the indication and I opened that small box and took out the ring and entered her ring finger.

She just looked at me and stepped closer to me and finally kissed me on my lips shocking me which turned into a smile hearing, "I love you too my prince"

Flashback end

That day will be the best day of our life. Nandini always says about that day and the best part was she have literally took care of our attire with out getting it spoiled. Seeing her like this I fell all over again in love with it. I can't control my happiness seeing her like that.

But as said happy days dies and their enters bad days. Same was with our case. From the proposal day I have always seen myself and Nandini always fighting for every small things and that  was scaring me. I know we both love eachothers but the main cause of out fight was DEV MALIK he was the one who always creates such situations between us. He had once came to me and warned me saying, "Nandini is mine and I won't be quit enough to leave her an go. She would be only mine and I ill not let anyone grab her way from mine mind it"

That literally had scared me. And I always avoids my fight with Nandini and might be understanding it Nandini was sorry for her acts to. And seeing us again on a good note he did a thing which shooked me to the core.

Flashback

"Manik. Malhotra fiance of Nandini Murthy. Well well I want to say that if you didn't break this engagement of yours then. Then. Then. Should I say? What will happen karke?" Dev smirked looking at me. It angered me and grabbed his collor angrily

"Are you really Caring Nandini as your friend... Why are you doing this to her. You should be happy seeing her happy with me.. DEV.  Don't spoil your friendship it's a purest relationship one gets. Please don't spoil it for your stupid things yaar." I yelled but lter turned into request but do you think he will get it no. He wont

"Tch.tch.tch.tch..... Manik I love nandini voh bhi bachpan se. I was all set to propose her thts when you entered and still her from me. But I won't let her go away from me but without hating me I won't you to exit our life and for that you have to create things which would let her to cancel this engagement. So Manik. It's your wish what you have to do" he was literally going onto my nerves what did he thought am I some cowards whom he would say and I will her.. no I won't. , "I am not cowards DEV do whatever you want too"

Saying I moved to go away but stopped hearing, "Uncle have took 1crore from us. And if you don't backout I would take away my shares and you know uncle would face a huge crises and one more things he is a heart patient.....bye manik ball is in my court and i have goaled it too."

Flashback end

That was were he went away saying and from that day I tried everything. As knowing Paa he won't take help from us. And he didn't have anyway too. And atlast I have to save Paa and if for that I have to break the alliance then that's the only way it would help. I was so broken that I didn't know how u would so. But gathering courage. I had messaged Nandini in a Romantic way and asked her to come to club. I know what I was going to do will hurt her but then too I continued with it. It would take almost 1 hour to come so I appointed some girls from there itself stuffing lots of money to them to act coast with me with full touching and stuff.

And finally she came to the club and when she saw me clinging to those girls. She came towards me with anger at first but was replaced it with concern might be seeing me in Drunken way. But only I knew it was just fake. She was asking me to come with her, but gathering courage I just pushed her away hardly to which she fell down on the floor, hurting herself. It pained me but I didn't gave away anything

Flashback

"You tiny girl how dare you... Touch me and started to order. Me I am the Manik Malhotra. Who doesn't hears anyone's order. Look at you a tiny creature. Well guyss.. see this is my chotu si tiny si Fiancee." But I was interrupted with, "Manik enough is enough... Don't create more scene we will move from here and then you can give the bashan ok?"

I am sorry Nandini, "ohh hello you know I wanted to say a lot things. First of al I so hate you from the bottom of my heart. I so wanted to feel how it will felt to have a tiny girl as my girlfriend so I wanted to ct like a lovey dovey boy. Man you are so hot yaar. You don't look like that introvert type. You re chota packet bada Dhamaka. Well bada maza ayaa. Haa well abh I feel tht it's enough of these things I don't want to be with you. Ever so please leave from I am feeling like Vomiting now looking at your face. So please get lost you. Dumbhead. "

Saying this I started to get close to the girls and acted like getting cosy with them. I took a glance of Nandini only to see her looking at me with teary eyes. But rubbing it off she breathed heavily and once again looking at me. She went away.

Flashback end

But what I was confused was she didn't even said a thing after that. The next I heard that she broke our engagement. And after two days without even letting anyone know she went away. To Delhi to pursue her MBA with DEV tagging along with her. I was hurt means would be a small word. She directly without asking me anything broke our engagement and flew away with tht moron. Our parents were alot angry on me but surprisingly Maa & Paa came to me and asked me the actual reason for doing so. At first I didn't said anything but after pestering me alot I finally said everything to them. And after that they did alot of things with out letting me know and settled every dept with DEV's family.

What made me hurt was I tried contacting Nandini after every this situation but she blocked me entirely throwing me away from her. She didn't even come to see her parents just because I stay over here. So every month MAA & PAA always go to see her. And finally I Stopped trying tooo...

But wait who is calling me this loudly..

Looking back I saw my dearest friend glaring at me furiously making me gulp my saliva.. ok this looks scary why is he galti g t me?

" Why are you looking at me like you will kill me this instant?" Ohk now I asked normally I think so

"Do hell with killing you. If FYI it's your marriage and here you re day dreaming like seriously Manik.. if you don't want to marry her then do let me know. I will marry her she looks so beautiful yaar.......ouchhhhh!!!!" How dare  this fellow say like that

"Dare you Cabir she is only mine...so back offff" said glaring at him. He straightening himself glared at me back with more Intense, "dude if she is yours then pick your ss off from tht chair and follow me pandit is calling you., Nahi tho I will be...."

"Dare you continue tht I am coming..... Stupid fellow"

Saying we went towards the mandam I sat on the asile waiting for my bride to come.

Finally Manik's Pov ended

Manik was impatiently waiting for his bride to enter. And when his wait finally got over looking her coming down the stairs holding her dad's hand with a wide smile plastering on her face. She was looking eternal in her outfit. He was just gawking at her. The bridal lehenga was a surprise for h. And waiting was worth seeing her.

And seeing someone staring at her she looked up only to get lost on those brown orbs whivh was twinkling for her. This made her smiling widely. She just checked him out and seeing him looking handsome she looked at Manik and winked at him making his eyes wide in amusement and later chuckling it out.

And then followed was putting garland on eachother with completing the seven pheraa vowing to be with eachother and finally putting a pinch of sindoor on her hairline part felling it on her nose making it good belief and then followed by tying the mangalsutra on her neck making her as his. Finally MRS. NANDINI MANIK MALHOTRA.

Nandini was all the way silent from every rituals that happened after her becoming Mrs. Malhotra. Manik was confused but he knows she would let it out once they are alone. And finally Nandini was asked to go to the room followed by Manik.

He entered inside the room to see Nandini seating in between their bed. Waiting for him to see her finally. He moved towards her and sat beside her, he held her hand with one of his hands and with other he finally took of her ghunghat seeing her properly. Nandini raised her gaze and met his and whispered, "Finally we won Manik.....from all the evils".

"Thankyou for trusting me Nandini... I thought this all years that you have eventually left me and went away. I was hear broken Nandini. I am sorry for that words but....." But he was stopped by Nandini, "no need to say anything Manik. Nandini can understand her lover a lot without him saying anything. So it's fyn tht was your majboori but see the main part we are together fighting with all the problems and became more strong. But one more thing is left to do"

Manik just looked at her lovingly. He just asked what raising his brows and Nandini indicated towards the phone which was kept on the dressing table. He stood up and taking it he again sat beside her. Nandini pulled him towards herself and called someone.

Manik was just observing Nandini. Suddenly he heard a sound which angered him but looking at Nandini smirking he calmed himself and thought to look at the show by himself.

It was actually a video call to DEV MALIK

"Helloooooo My so called best friend how are you?" Nandini asked sarcastically causing dev in confusion and manik chuckling.

"Nandini? Why are you looking like a bride?" Asked Dev in a confusing way to which Manik quickly answer coming into the screen, "Because she recently got married to Manik Malhotra"

Dev yelled angrilly, "What the hell.. how dare you Malhotra.?"

"Slow down your voice yaar. Kithna chilathe ho..tum bahut ganda aawaz hain aapka. Uffff, vaise muje na tumse kuch bolna tha... actually pura sunna haa" Nandini calmly said to which Manik looked at nandini and Dev to Nandini. She continued, "you know dev when I saw manik for the first time it was already love at first sight for me. From that day I have always stalked manik and in that way I got to know that Manik have a girlfriend breaking my heart but then to I used to follow him and doesn't come infront of him. But as you say, we can't hide for long time even I met with his mother and from tht onwards mine and his family used to meet up every now and then helping us to get close to eachother making me more comfortable with him. And me loving him was alot more happy for me. And then our parents said bout marriage. You know Manik I was so happy hearing it but later thought about your girlfriend so I said that but when you said you didn't have any tht day was so happiest for me. And later on You came dev I have always seen you as my friend but not my fault tht you fell for me. But it was obsession from your side. And finally everything was going fine dates, knowing eachother and that proposal and our engagement. But in all this what you all didn't noticed was my constant eyes on you and manik. I got to know something was iff with in you both. And finally it got cleared when that club incident happened you Insulting me. "

Saying nandini stopped and looked at Manik who was looking at her with wide eyes, her àttention went towards DEV to see the same reaction

"Then I wanted to know what exactly is the things that's why I suddenly left with DEV to Delhi and asked my parent to sought the issue. Manik what you didn't noticed was I didn't gave you my ring to you even after breaking the engagement. But later on I got to know everything, and I wanted aloud proof for everything so that I don't have any evil in our life and from that day I have collected every single illegal details of yours Dev and this day it would be helpful for me. What did you thought that I won't trust my love?. I love him enough to know that he is king it purposely. And when got to know it was because if you. I planned all these things. And finally coming back we planned that Manik's dad had given the loan to paa and offering me to marry him. But it was our actuall marriage."

Dev looked like he saw some ghost, "I love you nandini I really do. Bachpan se I have always loved you. And but you chose this Malhotra over me that's why just to part you guys away I have to do that. Please give me a chance I really love you. More than this Manik"

"And do you think I will let my wife be with you?" Asked glaring at Dev , manik.

"You are gone Manik I won't leave you just wait what I am gonna do to you" warned Dev

"For that you have to be free, bit fir the rest of your life you will be staying under government rules and regulations school you see are actually college" Nandini smirked hard.

Manik looked at Nandini with raised eyes and Dev with confusion laced on his face. But suddenly Dev's door bell rang he went to see police men's standing on his door to arrest him asking them the matters he got to know that this was all done by Nandini he just looked at Nandini through phone. Nandini looked at him and smirked hard waving a bye and yelled, "happy life ahead my bestieeeeee..."

Saying she hang up the call and looked at Manik who just kissed her hard making her fall on the bed Manik over her. He kissed the hell out of Nandini. To which after kiss she giggled and later on there was no looking back. The room really witnessed the lovers loving eachother with passion and lots or groans and moans were filled the room entirely.

After their love session Manik just gathered nandini in his arms and kissed her forehead whispering, "Love you nandini!

"Love you more manik."

"Humesha"

"Forever"
