Manveer One Shots updated pg 57 - Page 28

Manyata sighed as she looked through clothes. She wanted to look nice today but she had no clue what to wear. This was their first Valentines Day as a couple. Today she wanted to admit she had feelings for him. She had pushed him away so many times even though Akash was no longer apart of her life, she had yet to tell her fiance how much she truly cared for him.

On the bright side J Nandini had started looking for another prince to fall in love with and their sisterly bond was gradually developing.

J Nandini peeked into her sister's room and realized Manyata was in some sort of quandary.

" Hello Manyata Jiji ," she said a bit loudly so her sister would snap out of it.

Manyata smiled slightly at her sister before looking puzzled at her wardrobe.

"Kya hua? You need help picking out an outfit for tonight's party?," she inquired.

Manyata turned to face her sister and brightened.

" You have known him longer.Which outfit will be suitable. He always says he wouldn't change a thing about me. However I would like to surprise him for once," she muttered.

J Nandini smiled.

"Let me guess, Unnati didn't give you any clues about what Uday's plans are and you don't know if your surprise will be good enough?," she quipped.

Manyata smiled and gave her a quick hug. J Nandini was startled but composed herself. She wasn't exactly used to letting someone else have what she used to desire and this sister thing was new for both of them.

" Just what do I wear?," her sister exclaimed.

The younger girl peered in the wardrobe and pulled out a pink sari with a fitted blouse.

" He will faint seeing you in this," J Nandini declared.

Manyata took the sari from her sister. It was truly designer. In fact she didn't even remember purchasing it.

"Where did this come from?," she pondered.

" Jiji this is what I think is best. It's up to you whether you want to follow my advice or not," J Nandini stated.

"I am just worried if I will fit into this," Manyata said.

"Try it on Jiji. I'll see you later. Mala will bring the hairdresser here later," J Nandini stated.

Manyata swallowed hard. She decided to try on the outfit.

Later on Mala helped her with the pleats. Manyata smiled. J Nandini's choice wasn't bad. The sari had actually fit her. Her hair was clipped , with a half up and down look.

Everyone awaited her entrance. Udayveer nearly dropped his glass when he saw her coming down the stairs. She truly looked radiant. He was surprised she had worn this.

Everyone blessed her and told her she look very pretty. Her eyes searched for his. He greeted her with his signature smirk.

"Happy Valentines Day princess," he whispered.

She smiled.

" Where is my gift?," she inquired.

He took out a small box. He clasped the bracelet around her wrist. She smiled.

"Yeh bauth sundar hai," she exclaimed.

"Tumse zyaada nahin," he hissed in her ear.

She blushed.

"Now tell me where is my gift?," he inquired.

She put her hands on her hips.

" I dressed up for you didn't i?," she pouted.

He grinned and pulled her close.

" Let's have the next dance together and I think you look better with loose hair," he said as he took her clip out of her hair.

He ran his fingers through her hair and smoothed the strands. He grabbed her by the waist. She looked at him wide eyed.

" Shall we?," he inquired.

She nodded.

They danced to a few numbers with their families looking on with happiness. Dadisa blessed them and gave them permission to be excused for a few minutes. Udayveer pulled her outside by the water fountain.

"Manyata I know it will take you time to fully accept me and love me. I want to tell you that I can wait as a long as you need me to," he stated.

He was surprised when he felt her touch his cheek.

"Udayveer I want to admit something tonight. I have always been difficult but you have always loved me and taken care of me no matter what I have done. Main tumse bauth pyaar karti hoon," she admitted.

He looked into her eyes and realized the depth of her words and feelings. He pulled her close and embraced her with his might. The heartbeats from his chest were soothing to Manyata. She couldn't wait until they were married and every night she could hear them and they would lull her into a deep, comfortable sleep.

She pulled back and then kissed him on the cheek.

His face brightened with delight. He brushed some hair behind her ears.

" We better get inside before they come looking for us," he quipped.

She nodded. They got up and linked arms. She smiled brightly at him. He flashed a smiled back in her direction. They were ready to start life together. The twosome proceeded back into the main hall.
