--------------------------------------

After their wedding, Nandini & Manik were welcomed into Malhotra mansion by Nyonika. Then she left to go get something and returned with a large bowl filled with milk and rose petals.

"Yeh kya hai Ma?" Nandini asked. Nyonika stopped in her tracks looked at her. "Sorry...woh Bhabhi aur Navya aapko Ma hi bulate hai na so isi liye...."

"Of course, Ma ko toh Ma hi bulaya jaata hai right?" Nyonika smiled. "And to answer your question....yeh ek game hai jo tujhe aur Manik ko khelna."

She placed the bowl down infront of Nandini & Manik before taking their rings. "Yeh rings main isme dalungi...aur jo koi bhi inn rings ko pehle dhundenge, shaadi ke baad raj ussi ki chalega!"

"Humare shaadi ke waqt...main haar gaya tha." Raj told them with sigh.

"Main bhi." Abhi added.

"Main bhi..." Cabir also added. The three of them looked at each other then at Manik. "Manik...pls I beg you, tujhe yeh game jeetna hai."

"Haan beta, tu humara akhri umeed hai." Raj replied.

"Dont worry Dad, Cabir...This is Manik we are talking about. Aaj tak aisa hua hai kya ki Manik kisi cheez mein haar gaya?" Abhi said.

"Well iss baar haarega." Ishani spoke up. "Maybe you guys dont know...lekin meri yeh behen bhi kisi se kam nahi hai."

"Vaise bhi....iss khandaan ka tradition hai. The guys loose and the girls win!" Navya added.

"Oye Madhubala...zyada hawa mein mat udho, ok? That was just.....luck." Cabir said.

"Luck? Woh bhi teen baar? Ma, main aur Navya...phir toh humara luck kaafi acha hai." Mukti chuckled. "So...Nandini ka jeetne ka chance aur bhi zyada ho gaya! YES! Nandini...hum tumhare side pe hai."

"Aur hum Manik ke side pe." Aryaman pat Manik on the back. Manik & Nandini looked at each other amused that their family seemed more invested in this game than they were.

"Acha chalo...ab shuru karte hai." Nyonika dropped the ring into the bowl and swirled it a bit. Then Manik & Nandini both put their hands into the bowl and started feeling for the ring.

"Go Nandini!" The girls cheered.

"Go Manik!" The boys cheered.

While searching for the ring, Manik's hand landed on Nandini looked towards him. She tried to move her hand but Manik decided to be naughty and tightened his grip on her hand. Nandini have him a look telling him to let go but he just smirked.

"AHEMMM.." The two of them were started as their heard Cabri clearing his throat. He had leaned froward and his whole head was positioned right inbetween the two of them. "Guys...just FYI, yeh bowl unta deep nahi hai toh sab dikh raha hai okay?"

Nandini's eyes widened and she went red in the face while Manik just shrugged. Everyone else laughed.

"Now you guys can continue." Cabir said before moving back to his seat.

"Yeh Manik bhi na....sab ke samne mujhe sharminda kar rahi hai. Abhi tak main iss game ko seriously nahi le rahi thi, par ab maine 100% jeetungi tab isse paata chalega ke kisse panga liya hai." Nandini glared at Manik who finally let her hand go. She got to looking for the ring and finally found it. Just as she touched it she felt Manik's hand there as well. "Oh no...isne bhi dhund liya....think Nandu think..."
