"Aditya" he said as soon as the call was answered
"Yes Manik sir" Aditya said
"Nandini aayegi to settle her gold loan. Help her ti settle her gold loan as soon as possible and give her back her ornaments." Manik told him
"Yes sir she is here" Aditya said and rushed to Nandini as she entered in hurry.

Nandini rushed back to Manik's car with her bag. Thankfully the down payment for the apartment was less so with the balance amount she was able ti get back her ornaments from the bank. She was also thankful towards the guy who quickly settled her papers and transactions.
She sat in and smiled at Manik. He unknowingly had put her in a spot today. If her parents git a slight hint about this there would have been enumerous questions from them.
"Pehno" she heard Manik and looked at him
"Kya?" Nandini asked
"Necklace. Pehno" he said and Nandini nodded opening the box
"Mom said aaj ke din I should gift you something valuable. Kya chahiye tumhe?" Manik asked her as she wore the necklace
"Kuch nahi" she said checking the necklace in mirror
"Aise kaise?" he asked "Soch ke batao but batao sham Tak" he said and she looked at him with a thoughtful face
Manik walked with Nandini in the temple premises.
"Where is Amma Appa and Rishu?" He said
"They must have left" she said and Manik frowned
"Kyu? Hum aa rahe the na" he said and Nandini did not answer. She opened the box and gave it yo the Pandit ji.
Manik saw Nandini giving a box full of gajar halwa to Pandit and opened his mouth wide "Haawww you lair..."
"Shh" Nandini said joining her hands and praying. Manik looked at her betrayed and then looked at the Pandit and said "Aap mujhe woh halwa dedo na prasad mein"
"Beta prathna toh karo pehle" Pandit said and Nandini giggled. She finished her prayer and said to Panditji "Woh parsad aap baki logo mein baat dijiye" hume woh mithai dijiye
"But I want gajar halwa" Manik said
"Aise choose nahi kar sakte, jo denge usse lena padega" Pandit ji said
Manik joined his hand and closed his eyes and mumbled "Bhagwan please mujhe prasad mein gajar halwa de do" Pandit ji and Nandini smiled. Nandini smiled and whispered to Panditji "Mat dijiye"
"Beta itne pyar se Bhagwan se mang raha hai" Pandit ji said
"Ghar pe bana diya hai main ne. Usse de dungi" she said and Pandit ji nodded. Manik finished his pray and put forth his hand. Pandit gave him mithai and Manik hlared at him. He looked at Nandini who shrugged. Manik was going to say something when Nandini held his hand and took her with him.
"Buri ho tum bahut buri ho" Manik said and Nandini chuckled.
"Keys do" she said reaching the car
"Nahi kyu?" he said
"Manik do na" she said
"No you are not letting me touch you, kiss you aur ab mera gajar halwa bhi de diya tumne" he said
"Manik mujhe hospital Jana hai. Tumhe drop kar ke chali jaungi, please. Late ho raha hai" she said and he gave her the keys and saat in the passanger seat all grumpy
"You are mean and buri" he said when she sat in driving seat "I asked you tabhi you said tumne nahi banaya, aur abhi sab ko de diya. Mera kya? Ek katori toh de hi sakti thi na mujhe tu?" he asked and she kept quiet
