Nandini and Ansh entered inside the Murthy Mansion only to witness Amms. Ansh just rolled his eyes and turned to Nandini.

"Nandi, go to your room. We will have our dinner there only. Let me tell Suresh about the menu." Saying this he left while Nandini nodded at him. She was leaving when she heard Amms saying.

"Where were you all night? Dint even feel a bit shame? God knows till when I have to see all this." Nandini dint pay attention to her and was moving forward when she held her hand. Nandini stopped and took a deep breathe.

"Leave my hand."

"Then answer me. I asked you something? You both were missing whole night. Ansh toh uske kisi dost ke pass gaya hoga. What about you? You went with that boy, right? Apna muh kala karne-"

"Enough. Don't say anything about Manik. I will not tolerate. You don't need to know with whom I was and what I was doing. You are free to think anything you want to because I don't care." Nandini snapped at her jerking her hand and left. Amms fumed.

"She started talking too much nowadays. Abhi se baat karni hi hogi." Saying this she went to her room.

Malhotras were having dinner together.

"I'm missing Nandu so much. We both bonded so well. Jaise ki barso ki pehchan ho." Niyonika said smiling sadly. All men smiled at her.

"Kya baat hai! Ekdam perfect! Ghar aate hi sabse pehle bahu ne saas ko hi vash me kar liya. Tch! Now we won't get to see any saas-bahu drama in future. Instead their lovey-dovey moments. Uff!!" Cabir said dramatically to which Niyonika glared at him while Raj smacked his head. Manik chuckled.

"Chup kar. Nowadays, you started speaking too much. What's going on, Cabir? Yesterday also you were talking something about their grandmother." Raj spoke sternly to which Cabir's face turned hard.

"I don't regret that, Dad. Nandini is like my small sister. She is going to be my bhabhi. She went through so much and that woman is adding worst to it. I'm sorry to say but in future also if she says or does something inappropriate with my sister then I won't spare her." Cabir said seriously. Manik and Raj looked at him in surprise. Niyonika shook her head smiling.

Cabir and seriousness are two opposite things. He is always being naughty, cracking jokes, whinning, eating and making everyone around him laugh. This Cabir seemed different.  Nandini was the first one to make special space in his heart.

"Possessive brother, ah?" Manik teased. Cabir gave him a look.

"Protective. And take it as a warning to you too. Make her cry once and I'll dig your grave then and there." He said making Raj and Niyonika laugh. Manik gritted his teeth.

"You don't have to teach me how to behave with my love." Manik said glaring him. He shrugged.

"And moreover you dint even have a single conversation with her and-"

"Chuck it, Manik. Baaton ka kya hai? Hoti rahegi. Aaj nahi toh kal. Feelings are important. And I already consider her as my sister, so I don't care when we will talk and all. Duh!" Cabir spoke in no non sense tone. Manik's jaw ticked.

"Cabir tu-"

"Shut up you both. No one will say anything. Finish your dinner and off to bed. Hurry up." Raj said strictly. Niyonika pressed her lips as both digged their heads in respective plates.

"Fighting like kids." Raj muttered.

"He started first!" Both whined together and then gave glares to each other.
