~~~ IT'S COMPLICATED ~~~
PART 14
" you're taking my happiness away from me and yet asking me how I am ? " Manik firmly said.
Harshad was confused so as Nandini. She looked at Manik confusingly.
" aree you're going to marry our Nandini our little princess and will take her with you then how will we gonna live ?? She is the soul of this house. Hain na? ? " Manik lovingly stated looking into her eyes intensely. Nandini was tousched with his words.
" ohh its that. You scared me bro " Harshad sighed.
" kyun? What did you guess? " Manik asked narrowing his gaze.
" nothing " Harshad tried to avoid the topic.
After some time they got settled for the engagement and Harshad's mom gave the ring to him. He took Nandini's hand and made her wear the ring. Then it was Nandini's turn. And the ring was with Manik.
" Manik give the ring to Nandini " Maan said.
Manik stood beside her any took out the ring from his pocket. Harshad forwarded his hand towards her . But Nandini hesitated. Something was stopping her doing this. She confusingly looked at Manik . But his face was blank as he still didn't like Harshad as her partner then her gaze moved to Maan and Niyonika. They both gave her an assurance smile with watery eyes. They were happy for her but upset for themselves as their princess was going to lit another castle making their castle dark forever.
But yet she was tensed. Manik understood her nervousness and held her one hand and pressed a little to make her relax. It worked. And she slid the ring to Harshad's ring finger.
The family friends guests were congratulations the new couple.
" Aaj se Nandini humari hui Malhotra. " Saxena greeted him. But his greet thrust Maan's heart with uncountable needles.
Niyonika was also sad. Very much sad but at least she had to be normal to support the family in their biggest crucial moment. So drinking the sorrow down she replied " though from today Nandini is the part of your family. But she will be ours forever and ever. "
Nandini smiled and hugged her. Even Maan also joined them.
After an emotional family time Fab4 came to the stage.
" ladies and gentlemen it's a big day for our cutest friend Nandini. Congratulations Nandu . We wish you a very happy life ahead. And Harshad you better take care of her as if you won't then it will be khatarnak ( dangerous) for you coz then you have to face us the fab5. And no one dares to mess with us. So you better take a good care of our angel. " Cabir said and Harshad gestured that he was scared.
Then Dhrub took the mic and Said " I know you will take care of her. Please be sure of her happiness. "
And Harshad blinked his eyes as an assurance.
" and now my dearest Nandss... its your surprise gift for this big day from the fab5... So here you go... " mukti said and they took their positions like Cabir on drums , Dhrub and Mukti on guitars and Aliya on keyboard but the center stage Was vacant ad their star lead singer the
Soul of fab5 was lost and not interested at all in these.
All guest were excited to watch The Fab5 to perform live but the soul singer was no where seen. Maan and Niyonika wete also searching him here and there but he was no nowhere .Nandini asked cabir about him in gesture and he shook his head as an assurance.
" guys don't worry lead singer will give his star entry so nandu this one is for you. " Cabir said and signaled the fab3 to start.
Dhruv started tuning his guitar...

Manik was recalling their childhood memories..

She was shedding her tears when Harshad asked for a dance and they danced. That made Manik more upset.

Manik hugged Nandini . she sobbed hard hugging him back. They both did not know why they are crying. What had made them cry. Was it only friendship or something else.
Ho ho ho ho ho ho
O Priya O Priya Priya,
tumsa nahin koi priya
Maan and Niyonika also hugged the duo.
Everyone became emotional and Fab4 also joined them in the hug. It was a worthy family time.
**********
Same Night
Nandini was seating on the swing on the terrace and gazing her engagement ring which diamond was twinkling like the stars. Last she was free and now she was bounded with someone's responsibility being a fiance.
A lone desperate tear rolled down from her puffy eyes.
Suddenly some familiar touch on her cheeks brought her back from her trances.
" Manik " she whispered to herself.
Manik was standing behind her and she gently moved her head back and rested it to his stomach. Manik cupped her face on his hand and wiped the tear drops out of her serene face. And leaned enough to give a gentle peck on her forehead. They rested in that moment for some time and then Manik came forward and sat beside her on the swing. Nandini rested her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his hand around her shoulder.
Both were saying nothing just relishing their moment for a while. Then after some time Manik was the one who broke the silence and asked
" Nandu ek question puchu? "
Nandini didn't react as she was waiting for this. She sat straight and looked at him.
" Are you happy with this alliance ? " he asked intensely looking at her.
It was the first time Manik had talked about it with Nandini . He didn't utter a single word with her after her declaration of wedding with Harshad. Not even that time when he was fighting with Maan and Niyonika for their decision of this alliance.
Nandini sighed and said " now you get time to ask me this ?"
Manik was startled with with her reply. " I...Nandu I..." Manik's vocabularies were ditching him.
" it's okay I understand you. Samajhti hu tumhe . " she lovingly replied taking his hand on her.
Getting that assurance he was longing for he said pouring his heart out " I don't know why but I don't like that Harshad. I just can't stand him for a second. Usse shadi karna kya jaruri hai ? "
" toh fir kisse shadi karun ? TUMHE? " Nandini shouted at him.
