The next day, 9th June, 2019
Nandini and Mukti drove off to Sabyasachi's designer collection factory outlet.
Mukti: Hey beautiful..
Mukti met one of her friends, Amaya, working for that store.
Amaya: Mukti, so nice to see you.. Where's Alya?
Mukti: This time, it's not Alya, it's me and Nandini.. Actually, Nandini ki shaadi ho rahi hai.. And we want the best!
Amaya: Definitely.. Come with me, I'll show you the latest collection.
They looked at the outfits and Nandini wasn't able to find the best one.. They left the shop and got into the car. Mukti suggested Manish Malhotra but Nandini refused.. Nandini took her to a shop for wedding dresses.. And, fortunately, she found the perfect dress. [it's a surprise]
Mukti: Oh God! Bas ho gaya.. Aur shopping nahi. Wedding dress ho gaya hai ab, khaana.. Please!
Nandini: Sorry Mukti, tumhe maine itna pareshan kiya..
Mukti: Arre, tumhaari shaadi hai. Apni choti behen ke liye itna toh kar sakti hoon na..
Nandini smiled at her.
They went to the food court. Nandini ordered a veg burger, while Mukti ordered a chicken burger and fries enough for both.
Nandini: Bhabhi, aap ke liye bhi shopping kar lete hai na.. Don't mind but, I don't think you have any indian wear.
Mukti first glared at her then looking at her cute expression, started laughing.
Mukti: It's true, I don't have any indian wear.. Let's buy for both of us.
They spent their time shopping for MaNan wedding and finished at 9:30 pm, when Nandu felt sleepy..
10th June, 2019
Mukti stayed at Murthy House, for the night, with Nandini.. And they were to start for Mangalore with Abhimanyu and Aryamann. She informed Fab 5 that she wouldn't be coming to college for a week, as it is one of her friends' wedding. It was difficult hiding it, but Mukti being Mukti did it. Manik and Cabir said that they are going to Dubai for some business work. Nandini told Navya that she's going to Mangalore to meet Amms.
8:00 am:
Abhimanyu: Good morning Shona..
Abhimanyu met Mukti and she widened her eyes when he said Shona, because Nandini and Aryamann were also there.
Aryamann: Mere pyaare bhai aur bhabhi, hum dono bhi khade hai yahan pe..
Abhimanyu faked a smile.
Nandini: Bhaiyyas and Bhabhi, hum sab late ho rahe hai.. Chalein?
Mangalore 12th June, 2019... 5:30:
Nandini: Hello.. Mukti, tum hotel aa jao.. Aaj meri engagement hai and I want you to no more hide from Manik.
Mukti was staying in Amms' Gurukul...
Mukti: I am coming.. Manyu has picked me up.
It was time for Nandini's chunni ceremony.. She was dressed up like this...
Mukti:
Manik:
Abhimanyu:
Cabir:
Nyonika places the red chunni on Nandini's head and gave a shagun. Nandini needed help.
Nandini: Arya, call Mukti na.. I need help.
Manik was sitting right beside her. And was shocked to the core.
Manik: Mukti? (looking at Nandini)
Nandini gave a cute smile.
Mukti: Baby doll, I'm here!
Mukti came in her white lehenga and Manik was shook. While, Cabir mahashey was recording Manik's expression on his tablet. Manik had mixed expressions, happy, sad, 'wth is happening', 'issey kaise pataa chala?', shocked, surprised, excited, etc.
Mukti: Nandu, introduce me to your fiancé na..
Nandu: Mukti, this is Manik and Manik, this is Mukti, my sister cum bhabhi..
Manik: Mukti, tu yahan kya kar rahi hai? And Bhabi? Cabirrrr! Ho kya raha hai?
Nandu: Manik, sab dekh rahe hai..
Mukti: Yeh bhi bataa de kyun dekh rahe hai.. Ki tu pagal ho gaya hai. Aaj raat, mein tujhe chhodne nahi waali hoon!
Cabir: Yaar, Mukti, shaadi tak wait karle.. He definitely doesn't want to get married with bruises...
And Mr. Cabir Dhawan had to pitch in.
Manik: Saale, maine tujhe nahi chhodna hai!
Cabir: Bhai, teri toh shaadi hone waali hai aur meri love story abhi tak set nahi hui hai...
Mukti: Meri toh ho gayi...
Manik: What?!?!
Mukti: What what?
Abhimanyu: Mere pyaare jeeja ji, meet my fiancée, Mukti Vardhan.
Manik's eyes widened. And Mukti flaunted her ring....
Nyonika: Bacchon, ring ceremony ka time aa gaya hai..
Shashi (Abhimanyu's mom) : Nyonika ji, mein soch rahi thhi ki Manik aur Nandu ke saath mein Mukti aur Abhimanyu ki bhi engagement ho jaaye toh accha hoga, kyun? (She knew about Mukti's ignorant parents and also approved of MukBhi.)
Nyonika: Agar dono ko koi problem nahi hai toh bilkul.. Kyun?
Mukti: Aunty, I have no problem..
Abhimanyu: Neither do I..
Manik and Nandini stood opposite to each other and Mukti and Abhimanyu stood opposite each other. Mukti removed her proposal ring and gave it back to Abhimanyu. A chunni similar to Nandini's was on Mukti's head, now.
First, Manik slid the engagement ring on Nandini's left ring finger.
Then Nandini put Manik's engagement ring on his right ring finger...
Then Abhimanyu slid the ring on Mukti's left ring...
And Mukti repeated what Nandu did...
Cabir: Wow! Both my best friends are engaged now!
He had his recording on.. He recorded each and every detail of the function.
