Manan FF- Arranged marriage (✔)

Chapter 6

STUDIO

Manik asked fab 4 to come to Murthy place tonight with them but they said 'no' citing the reason that they want to meet nandini only when it will be officially announced that she is going to be their bhabhi. Manik and mukti did not force them as they also thought that they are going first time to nandini's place and increasing the number of people might cause inconvenience to her family. Just then navya called cabir and he started talking to her going in a corner.
He came back hurriedly in a few minutes and said to fab 4 that navya is asking as to why the Malhotra's are coming to nandini's place.

Actually when Maan had called alok, navya was at nandini's place. Nandini informed her about the phone call and also the fact that they did not tell the reason for visit. Navya offered help and said that she will ask cabir if he knows. So she asked cabir and cabir made an excuse saying he will tell her in sometime because he was not sure if he was allowed to share the information .

Malhotra siblings also did not know this was to be kept secret so they asked cabir to talk to neyonika. Cabir obeyed and called neyonika and narrated the incident. Seeing cabir panicking , neyonika chuckled and said that "since navya is his gf he should not lie to her and if Murthys know the reason for their visit beforehand , they will be prepared" and then cabir hung up the call after thanking neyonika for understanding.

Cabir then called navya and informed her. Navya started dancing and cut the call saying she will talk to him later.

MURTHY MANSION

As soon as navya got the news she ran to nandini and swayed her in air holding her shoulders. Everyone in the house got curious on navya's behaviour and nandini calmed her friend and asked the reason for her excitement. Instead of answering nandini , navya ran to alok and sheetal and informed them the reason for which Malhotra's are coming. Alok and sheetal could not believe their ears as they had no idea as to how much nandini had influenced them in just two encounters. After the initial shock, they doubled up their preparations and abhi too joined them in their happiness.

Nandini was bewildered, shocked and what not!! The first encounter with manik had left an imprint on her heart mind and soul but she thought was she prepared for marriage so early? She is just 24 and if she is not wrong manik is 25. but marriage?? Then her eyes stopped on alok and sheetal, their happy faces and the excitement made her think that probably she should prepare herself for this responsibility, for her parents, their happiness. On the next thought she concluded that manik was not bad and she liked him . Getting no negative points to counter her decision of marrying manik she happily gave in.

Navya shook nandini holding her shoulders.

nav: kya hua nandu ? kaha khoi hai? uncle aunty tujhe kabse bula rahe hain.
nandini: kuch nahi bas ase hi
nav: kya hua? kuch problem h? tujhe manik ni pasand h kya? but wo bahut acha larkah yaar. mai use pichle 1 year se janti hu. ek bhi buri adat ni h use. cabir hamesa manik ki tarif hi karta rehta hai. maine toh ar v bahut kuch btaya hai tujhe jab se main tere ghar ayi hu...

navya was continuously speaking and she would have said more but nandini stopped her and said that its not like she doesn't like manik, it was just that she was initially confused on the sudden proposal. Then navya and nandini came down and alok and sheetal said that they got excited after hearing the news and forgot to ask her opinion . sheetal asked nandini if she has any issues regarding the proposal? nandini just shook her head signifying that she agrees to marry manik. Abhi came forward and hugged her expressing his happiness. After the family moment everyone got busy in preparations for the evening.

IN THE EVENING

At exactly the specified time Malhotras reached Murthy mansion. They were welcomed by alok and sheetal. Seeing the happy faces of murthys , malhotras knew that soon they are going to welcome their bride in their home. They sat and soft drinks and snacks were served by the servants. After the initial formalities Malhotra duo directly came to the point and told the murthys about their intention of making nandini their daughter-in-law and manik's wife. manik felt a little awkward and shy too. Then the malhotra duo asked for alok-sheetal-abhi's opinion. They said that they will be obliged to have manik as their son-in-law. Everyone became happy and sweets were exchanged. manik was just smiling and answering whatever the murthys asked, but he was every now and then looking towards the stairs or around the hall. neyonika saw his desperation and then asked sheetal about nandini .
