The whole hall room was decorated with white theme and long lights. In the middle there is a grand couch which is decorated with white flowers. Many people started coming inside who were welcomed by Abhimanyu, as Manik's proposal assistant and others.
Abhi:- Sir, it's time. Let's call Nandini Mam.
Abhimanyu asked Manik who nodded, talking to his producers. Suddenly the whole hall room became silent as the spotlight fell on the beautiful angel. Nandini stood in white and white gown.
(Nandini's dress)
(Manik's dress)
She walked down the hall keeping her chin up straight, not at all acting like a shy bride. Everyone in the hall started praising her beauty, dress etc. Some were happy, some were envious that this girl was getting engaged to a famous actor. But Nandini's eyes showed happiness and victory as everything was happening according to her wish. Manik was awestruck seeing her, coming down like an angel from heaven. For him everything vanished, except she and him. He saw her giving him a beautiful smile, walking close to him. He didn't blink his eyes, fearing he might have a chance to admire this beauty.
Nandini:- Ahem ahem.
Manik trances broken hearing her cough.
Manik:- Are you okay?
He asked in worry, made nearby people chuckle, made him realise the atmosphere, and he gave a sheepish smile. Nandini blushed and climbed on the stage.
Manik:- You are looking so damn gorgeous, I can't stop myself from admiring you.
He whispered, holding her hand as he helped her to climb on the stage like a gentleman.
Nandini:- You are looking so hot Mr. Malhotra. Are you planning to make the girls over here to envy me?
She looked at him proudly, making his ears red. He bite his inner cheek and said,
Manik:- Will you come with me after this party gets over?
Nandini:- Are you asking me for a date?
Manik:- Yeah kind of.
Nandini:- Where will you take me?
Manik:- That's a surprise.
Nandini:- I love surprises.
At that time Abhimanyu came on the stage and gave a welcome speech. Then Navya forwarded the ring box, while Manik took a small ring, which had a diamond standing on top proudly. He showed his left hand forward, looked at Nandini with a smile, who kept her hand on his palm like a queen.
He made her wear and brought her hands to lips, kissed them, making everyone aww. Nandini blushed hard, giving tough competition to red tomatoes. She took his ring and looked at her brother who stood behind Manik. Abhi assured her through eyes, Nandini smirked and made him wear the ring. Soon the whole hall boomed with claps. Nandini went on her toes and kissed his cheek, making his eyes widen. He looked at her, who gave him a naughty smirk. Manik smirked and held her closer to him by holding her waist, kissing her on her forehead. Then they hugged each other. The media used this as an opportunity to click their pictures together.
Then everyone came and congratulated them. Nandini stood with a fake smile, as she didn't like people much. Then they sat together on the couch when Navya came to her and said,
Navya:- (whispered) Nandini, Rahul is calling you continuously.
Nandini:- (whispered back) What the hell he wants now?
Navya:- He is asking about Aliya.
Nandini:- Shit. I totally forgot about that idiot.
Nandini excused herself saying one of her friends is calling her to congratulate her and she needs to attend the call. She came to an empty place and received his phone call.
Nandini:- What is it? Why are you calling me continuously?
Rahul:- Where is Aliya? Her phone is coming unreachable.
Nandini:- I don't know where she is.
Rahul:- Don't lie. She went to meet Manik there and I am damn sure you did something to her. Tell me where she is?
Nandini:- She didn't reach here. I don't know where she is.
Rahul:- I know it's a nasty trick of yours. If something happens to her, trust me I will expose you in front of the whole world.
Nandini:- You are getting hyper unnecessarily. Let's meet somewhere and talk about it, okay?
Rahul:- Okay. Tell me the address, I will be there.
Nandini told him to meet her at a certain cafe and hung up the call. Then turned towards Navya and said,
Nandini:- This Rahul has become a threat for me. I have to do something.
Navya:- (worried) He is literally blackmailing you. What will you do now?
Nandini:- I have an idea.
Navya:- Should I call Abhi here?
Nandini:- No, he has done enough for me. I don't want to involve him in this.
Navya:- Then what will you do?
Nandini:- (smirked evilly) Just wait and watch.
Nandini called someone and instructed him something, then she cut the call and returned to the function.
After the party
Manik was driving the car and Nandini was sitting beside him.
Nandini:- Manik enough of this suspense. Now tell me where are you taking me?
Manik:- It's a surprise Nandini.
Nandini:- Are you planning to kill me by pushing me down from the hill?
Manik:- (laughed) Do you really think so?
Nandini:- Then why are you going driving towards that mountain? Look at the road, it's making me feel dizzy.
Manik:- Are you pregnant again?
