Climbing the stairs of the temple Manik n Nandini came towards the entrance n Nandini removed her footwear n entered in
Cmg in she prayed infront of the idol for manik's happiness n peace n also apologised for this action of her fake marriage
Praying this she came forward to idol whr the puja thali was kept in which there were sweet diya n sindoor. She bent down to take a pinch of sindoor wen a hand held her wrist stopping her n Nandini looked at the person n softly whispered
Nan-Manik
Both stood straight facing each other n before Nandini could say anything Manik said in his most honest tone
Ma-y do you need a fake marriage wen I m there to do it in real for you
Hearing all this a big bright smile appeared on Nandini's lips n she again took his name
Nan-Manik
Without saying further Manik bend down n took the vermilion pwdr in his pinch n came back to Nandini n in next second he filled her hair line with vermilion while Nandini closed her eyes happily n a lone tear escaped her eyes
Once she felt absence of Manik's touch she opened her eyes to look at him and manik took a big red thread kept there (which ppl use it for their mannat) n tied it around Nandini's neck as a nuptial chain n than looked at her
Nandini didn't say anything n hugged Manik while he too hugged her back tightly. After they were done the came out of temple again clueless that way they will do next
Standing at the middle of road they were looking here n there n than each other. Finally Manik spoke pointing at the tea stall from whr few mins ago they had their tea
Ma-woh chai wale bhaiyya se hi puchte hai abt any place to stay around
Nandini held his hand n they walked towards the man. Standing a lil far away Nandini was waiting for Manik while he went near to that man and asked
Ma-arey bhaiya yahan aas pass kahi basti ya kuch hai..... kahi rehne ki jagha
Man-sahab ya 15 min baad ek chota as gaon hai waha par shayad rehne ka intezam ho jaye ga...,( pointing to his ryt) yahan se sidhe jaye aage ek chota sa mandir hai left pe waha se ek kaccha rasta nikalta hai woh kaccha Rasta jahan khtm hota wahi pe woh gaon hai
Ma-thik hai thank you
Thanking him Manik came back to Nandini n told her wat the man told n than they started walking towards that road hand in hand. Walking all the way towards the village finally they found a village exactly the way they saw in movies n t.v's
The roads were full of mud, children's playing around with hens n goats, few men's sitting n chatting under the tree shades, house were of mud n bricks that also a small square kind of constructions n around the house there were bamboo fences, few women carrying earthen pots filled with water n some women cleaning vegetables or spices or washing clothes inside the area of fences and every house has a hand pump from which they can use water
Seeing the surrounding Manik Nandini looked at each other and Nandini bobbed her head assuring him to go ahead. Holding her hand tightly they headed ahead n Cmg near to those man Manik asked
Ma-excuse me
Those men's looked at him and Manik continued
Ma-yahan pe kahi rehne ki jagha milegi
