RagLak reached the designer's boutique.
Designer - hii Ragini
Ragini - heyy, meri dress ready ho gyi?
Designer - yupp.
She then called her assistant and asked her to get the dress.
Designer - you will have something till then?
Ragini - no no, actually we are already late so...
Designer - okay, no problem
The assistant came with the dress and Ragini left for the trial while laksh waited there sipping his cold drink. Laksh was getting bored as it had been 20 to 25 minutes since Ragini was inside. He knocked the door.
Laksh - Zinda ho naa?
Ragini - (from inside) ofcourse itna jaldi tumhe Shanti thodi dungi
After sometime
Ragini peeked through the trial room looking for laksh.
Laksh looked at her and asked her what happened through his eyes. Ragini asked him to come in by hand gestures.
Laksh looked here and there then asked her if she was asking him.
Ragini face palmed herself and showed a gesture of punching him angrily.
Ragini - (shouting angrily) who else laksh?
Everyone looked towards them for a minute.
Ragini - (embarrassed) uhmm.. sorry
Everyone continued their shopping while laksh silently sneeked in.
Laksh - aise koi chilata hai bhla
Ragini - toh tum Aisa nonsense sawaal puchte hi kyu ho. Matlab tumhe nahi toh kisse bulaungi woh joh bahar ladka khada hai usse, yeh bolke ke, excuse me mera boyfriend gadha hai toh please aap yeh hook laga lo.
Laksh - nahi aisa kuch karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Btao kya karna hai.
Ragini turned showing her back.
Ragini - maine ek hook laga liya hai bohot mushkil se but baaki nahi lag rahe so....
Laksh - woh bhi galat laga hai, no wonder tum ek ghante se andr time pass kar rahi hoon
Ragini - yaaar kitni mehnat lagi thi woh lagane mein
Laksh - so may i?
Ragini - what?
Laksh - yeh open karke waaps lagau?
Ragini nervously nodded. She knew her hair were disturbing him but she felt too nervous to remove them as they were covering her back.
Laksh too hesitated a bit but managed to ask her.
Laksh - woh baal aage kar doon?
Ragini nervously nodded.
Laksh then slowly moved her hair to the front sending goosebumps in her body as his fingers slided over her back. She tightly closed her eyes fighting the emotions burning inside her. Laksh to tried her to suppress the emotions as his fingers opened the hook of her blouse. He then hooked the blouse and quickly moved a little behind. Ragini nervously adjusted her hair and dress and checked herself in the mirror. She then looked at him through the mirror. He leaned towards the wall and placed his hand over his heart.
Ragini blushed and looked down moving a hair strand behind her ear.
MaNan were practicing their dance. They were enjoying every bit of it and anyone could say it just by looking at their faces. Their faces had a different glow these days specially when they were together.
Nandini twirled around holding Manik's little finger. After a few turns she took Manik's support by placing her head on his chest.
Nandini - sorry I think turns zyaada ho gye toh chakkar aa raha hai.
Manik caressed her hair and held her closure to him.
Manik - did i complaint?
Nandini smiled.
Choreo - okay guysss, tumhara romance ho gya ho toh shall we continue?
MaNan again got back to their positions. They were dancing and laughing.
Slightly away from them
Swarna took evil eye off them from far itself.
Manish - kya soch Rahi ho?
Swarna - yahi ke jitni khush woh aaj hai utni hi zindagi bhar rahe.
Manish - rahegi, humesha rahegi.
Back to MaNan
Choreo - okay manik on count of 3 you have to lift nandini....
1...2... And 3 lift
Music was playing
Manik lifted Nandini up while her hands took support of his shoulders.
Music ended
Choreo - perfect!!
Manik kept her down and held his back dramatically
Manik - auchh Nandini, kitni moti ho gyi ho tum
Nandini made an O face and punched him in the stomach while he laughed.
Raglak returned with lots of snacks and ofcourse Ragini's outfit.
Ragini - okayyy guysss party timeeeeee!!!!!

Days passed by in the blink of an eye. Soon it was a night before they would leave for Udaipur where the wedding functions would be held.
MaNan were speaking on the phone.
Nandini was silent than usual.
Manik - i can't believe in few days you will be my wife.... Matlab i toh can't even wait for it anymore. Man karta hai aaj hi tumhe bhaga le jaau...
Nandini - (softly) hmm
Manik - Nandini....
Nandini - hmm... (Softly)
Manik - kya hogya? Are you okay?
Nandini - (same tone) hmm
Manik knew she wasn't.
Manik - Love you know naa u can talk to me... Kya hogya?
Nandini couldn't stop her tears anymore.
Nandini - kuch nahi, it's just this is the last night i will be sharing the same roof with my family. My room will no longer be mine. This house, everything will change. I will miss everything Manik....
She was crying
Manik - issmein se ek bhi baat sach nahi hai. U will still be sharing roof with our family and just the change will be ke now your room will be ours that house will be yours ours and the families are toh already ours. It's just ke you will have everything two now. 2 families, 2 rooms and 2 homes but husband ek hi hoga haa please
Nandini chuckled amidst the tears.
Manik - nandini shaadi mein addition hota hai deletion nahi. Acha ab are u feeling better yaa main tumhe ek amazing si place pe waffles khilane le jaau?
Nandini - nahi... I am fine
Manik - ohh so no date for me today?
Nandini - i am sorry but aaj raat mein mom dad aur Ragini ke saath spend karna chahti hoon.
Manik - okay!! Good night Love
Nandini - Good night
Nandini went to her room and was surprised to see her room decorated. There was a big picture just above her bed of the 4 of them (Manish, Swarna, Ragini and Nandini) hugging each other. Then on the other corner there were ferry lights which held multiple pictures of Nandini, Kapoors and Malhotras, MaNan, and all. In the centre 'We Love You❤️' was written. The room was lit with candles. She went near the ferry lights and her eyes got wet when she saw hers and Ragini's picture where Ragini was kissing her on the cheek from behind. She held the photo and smiled amidst the tears. She then went to her bed and caressed their family picture. That's when 3 people back hugged her.
All 3 - We Love You ❤️
Nandini - I love you guys too❤️
she turned and hugged them back
Nandini - i will miss you....
By this time all 4 Kapoor's had tears in their eyes.
Nandini - main aap log ko apne saath nahi le jaa sakti?
Swarna - woh toh possible nahi hai naa bache.
Ragini - (wiping her tears) chalo aaj raat no tears. Hum di ke liye yeh raat sabse special raat bnayenge.
She then took out business board game.
Ragini - ting.... Let's relive those memories.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
Ragini - waise bhi humesha ki tarah jeetna toh mujhe hi hai
Nandini - ohhh please... Iss baar toh i will only win.
They then played business and as usual Ragini won and she did her victory dance all over the room.
They then played carrom, cards, Uno just like old times. By now it was 5 in the morning. Their mind asked them to sleep as next few days were going to be heavy with all the preparations and functions however their heart wanted to spend as much time with Nandini as they can.
By now Manish was sitting and all 3 girls were lying down with their head on his lap. They were talking and laughing reminiscing the old memories.
It was 6 by now RagNan had slept peacefully. Swarna got up and both the parents were now adoring their kids.
