" It's Complicated " (Completed)

PART 29

The mehendi function was going quite very well in the supervision of none other than the Malhotra's.

The guests of saxena side and others had taken for the lunch hosted by Niyonika herself as she want everything regarding
the wedding flawless. On the other side

The girls were busy with their mehendi designs. Mutki and Aliya choose light simple design where as Navya had chosen
little heavy design.

" What's your would be husband's name ? "

The mehendi designer asked.
Nandini didn't reply . She was in her deep thoughts.

" Madam... " the designer shook her little to bring her back from her trances.

" hmmm yess sorry? " she apologised.

" Tell me your would be husband 's name then I will write his name on your palm. " the designer said.

" hatoon pe ? What is the need to write his name on my hand palm ? " Nandini asked.

" Aree Nandini don't you know apne fiance ka naam hatoon me likha jata hai ta k he will stay forever in your destiny. Kahte hai isse woh tumhare hatoon k
lakiron me sama jate hai. Fir tum dono ki nasib jur jati hai. And then no one can separate you. You will become the one. "

Navya said her the meaning of putting mehendi and adding your beloved one name on your palm.

" really ?? " Mukti along with Aliya was surprised indeed of their very little knowledge of rituals.

" Haan... aur ek baat pata hai mehendi ka rang jitna deep hota hai kahte hai utna hi dono me payar utna gahera hota hai. "

Navya further said romantically.

" bullshit " Mukti mocked.

" why ? Why did you think it's bullshit ? " Navya asked bit angrily.

" Aree isn't it ridiculous that your colour of mehendi will define your love and all ?" Mukti was irritated with that logic.

" but I think it's cool. " Aliya said as she took it as a hope that might be if she would had written Manik's name then
destiny might would had joined them.

So taking it a challenge she said her mehendi designer to write Manik 's name on her palm. But alas. .. on her dismay
the designer didn't hear her words and applied simple design.

Nandini was silent throughout the conversation. She was listening Navya's explanations regarding mehendi very
carefully.

" maam toh boliye kiska naam likhu aapke haat pe ? " the designer again asked.

And before she could say one voice grabbed their attention.

" Harshad Saxena "

They all turned around and found Manik standing with his full aura digging his hands inside the pockets.

" hello girls "

Manik greeted the girls with his signature smirk. Aliya became happy seeing him.

" Manik !!!! "

Nandini took his name. She was beyond happiness seeing him that too after so many days. It was the long time she had seen
him. After that night close encounter they just avoided each other just to ignore more embarrassment.

Manik from that day used to return late from jamming and dispersed early. Some other days even he didn't come back to
home but used to stay at the studio.

" Manik tu yaahan pe kya kar raha hai ? Don't you know it's ladies function? "
Mukti retorted softly.

" Haan toh ?? " Manik came towards them and sat beside Nandini . Aliya fumed
again with their closeness.
