At malhotra mansion...

that person raised his/her hand to slap nandini....

to which nandini subconsciously turned to her right making that person slap the air... seeing this that person became even angry and again tried to hit her... this time manik held that persons hand who dared to try to hit his WIFE........................

Manik: HOW DARE YOU... ALIYA SAXSENA... how dare you... he said looking as monstrous as he could be making her shiver...

Aliya: manik baby... why is this behenji here... believe me baby she is a gold digger... and why the hell are you after my boy friend... she said the first two lines looking at him but the last line to the emotion less nandu who was just standing there gripping her fist so tight that it became white...

yes she was angry but not because ALIYA said she was a gold digger as she never cared about other people's opinions... but because she said he was her boyfriend... this mattered the most...

Manik: ALIYA didn't I say that we were never together... I made it really clear to you... and how could you ha... SHE IS MY WIFE.... DAMN IT... he said and stood in front of nandini covering her... seeing his protective nature neyonika unconsciously gave a small smile...

Aliya: baby... why are you talking like this... what did you do to my manik ha... she said trying to come in front of nandini...

Manik: ALIYA just get out... please... get out... he said not wanting to say anything to his F-R-I-E-N-D... listening this ALIYA glared manik looking at him with resistance while manik gave her the final warning wala look... soon aliya went away stomping her feet...
..............................................................................................................................................................

Aliya came out of the house... she called some one while frustratingly combing her hair with her fingers...

Phone convo...

Aliya: baby... that manik is such a cheat... he even married someone else... aur humara plan karab kar diya... she said and told that person what had happen frustratingly... while the other person laughed out at this...

Person: ha ha... is it so...fine game on Mr. Malhotra... and aliya who is his wife... that person asked excitedly...

Aliya: why RAHUL... why do you want to know... she said doubting him a little...

Rahul: oh nothing baby... just information... he said while aliya just hummed in response...

Aliya: it's that behenji... NANDINI MURTHY... she said with disgust laced in her tone...

rahul: hmm... nandini murthy lets see what's that good about you... he whispered to himself...

aliya: what... she said as she couldn't hear anything...

rahul: oh nothing baby... you just need to do as i say ok... he said with a cunning smile...

aliya: i always did as you said and will do as well... i love you baby... she said with love filled tone... while the other side had already cut the call ending it... she looked at it...

aliya: hmm lag tha hai cut hoga... she thought... *dumbo...😞* she again called to someone...

phone convo...

aliya: yaar mukthi... tu free hai kya... she said walking towards her car...

mukthi: yes babe kya huva... she said in a sleepy tone... *must have been sleeping...* aliya thought...

aliya: lets go to drunken nights... its on me... call FAB4 too... she said while mukthi said ok in a split second... *FAB5 aur party ke bina... not happening...😝* she cut the call and drove away...

in malhotra mansion...

neyonika: manik... i want to discuss something with you... she said in a serious yet stern tone... while manik just gulped seeing her like this... he knew it wont be anything good if his mom called him manik instead of maan... he went near her and made her sit on the sofa while he kneeled down infront of her holding her hands...

manik: mom i am sorry na... its not that i didn't want to tell you... everything happened so fast that we didn't have time to announce anything... i messaged you about it the day we married... mom please don't be like this... he said looking into her eyes who was now crying... manik wiped her tears away... she smiled a little...

neyo: maan... tu mera ek hi beta hai aur teri shaadi ke me ne kitna sara sapne de ke the... i just wanted your marriage to be soo grand that it will be remembered always... she said hiccuping a little... seeing her nandu brought a glass of water and gave it to her while neyonika smiled a little and took it...

manik: arre mom aap itni choti baat pe ro rahi ho... oh god... if you want we can just have a grand reciption or something... he said while neyonika widened her eyes with excitement...

neyo: nice idea maan... we will have a grand reciption... ayooo why didn't i think of this... she said hitting her forehead slightly... seeing this manik and nandini chuckled... neyonika's gaze immediately fell on nandu...

neyo: maan why didn't you marry aliya... didn't you like her... i hope this also isn't temporary... she asked manik confused as she observed his behavior towards aliya...

manik: mom woh it was just attraction... that's it... and we were never in a relation... and this is definitely not a temporary one... she has to tag along with me in this life time... he said not wanting his mom to worry... while neyonika just nodded with a little smile then looked at nandu...

neyonika: tumhare naam kya hai... she said a little sternly listening to her tone manik widened his eyes...

nandu: nandini... she said and bent to take her blessings to which neyonika stopped her...

neyonika: me itni bhi budhi nahi hoon... common hug your mom... she said hugging her while nandu felt slightly teary remembering her parents and hugged her a little tight...

neyo: kya huva... she said feeling something weird... while nandu just smiled and nodded in a no... while neyonika was a little disturbed seeing her like this...

neyo: if its okay tell me i will listen... she said rubbing her head softly... while nandu looked at manik who smiled at her softly which brought her a small smile... and of course neyonika saw this little gesture and was very happy...

nandini: woh... my parents died when i was 10... she said looking down while neyonika hugged her in comfort...

manik: arre ab tho muskura do... he said and of course she smiled... seeing this neyonika laughed...

neyo: accha me svara (cabir's mom) ke pass jaa rahi hoon... i am not gonna come and be there only so no mischief while i am gone ok.... take care... she said and winked at them... while manik smirked at that unknown to him that nandini had a devilish smirk on her... as soon as neyonika went nandu ignored manik and went up to the secret room... looking at her going manik sighed and went after her...

.................................................................................................................................................................

in the secret room...

manik: nandu yaar... what happened... why are you like this... he said pulling her by her arm...

nandu: why Mr. malhotra... you are asking this... go and get an answer from your girlfriend... she said emphasizing the word and pulled her hand back and turned away... listening Mr. malhotra from her felt really weird to manik...

manik: no dreamy we were never in a relationship... i will agree that i once liked her but now i don't have those feelings anymore... what should i do to make you believe... he said frustratingly... while nandini who was back facing him had the same devilish smile on her...

nandu: anything... she said as if conforming... while he said yes immediately thinking what could she ask him... she turned and walked towards him while manik looked at her confusingly...

nandu: then KISS ME... she demanded... while manik's eyes widened as if they would come out any moment...

manik: what!!! he said being shocked at her sudden demand...

nandu: since she was your GIRLFRIEND... you 'ON YOUR OWN' must have kissed her right... so take the initiative this time and kiss me... she said though she hated saying that they must have kissed but it didn't matter now... he was her husband at this moment... listening to this manik lowered his head thinking that it was only her who always initiated...

manik: we never kissed... aliya and i... never kissed... he said slowly... listening this she was happy nut she didn't show it on her face...

nandu: so you wont kiss me... fine... she said and turned away... while manik stood there looking at her who was going to the washroom...
