The next part of the update as promised...

Manik made sure that the reunion invitation was extended to Nandini and Navya and they were given the best seats during the concert. Nandini's eyes beamed with pride as she saw Manik and his friends rocking the stage. Music was always a blessing for Nandini, music helped her overcome her parents death, music brought Manik to her, music defined their love and it was the same music that kept them going when they were at the verge of breaking. Now the same music has brought them back together hamesha ki liye. When everyone thought the concert ended, Manik's announcement came as a surprise. "This last song was not part of the performance but it is a special dedication to someone very special in my life. Thank you Dehradun for giving me my friends and now my love... So friends, sit back and enjoy the song. My shining star, this one is especially for you..." Manik took his position on the centre of the stage with his guitar, the lights on the stage dims out the rest of Fab4 focusing on Manik. His gaze never left Nandini when he sang the song that was close to his heart for all this years.

Haan Hasi Ban Gaye, Haan Nami Ban Gaye

Tum Mere Aasmaan, Meri Zameen Ban Gaye

Haan Hasi Ban Gaye, Haan Nami Ban Gaye

Tum Mere Aasmaan, Meri Zameen Ban Gaye

Haan Hum Badalne Lage, Girne Sambhalne Lage

Jab Se Hai Jaana Tumhein, Teri Ore Chalne Lage

Haan Hum Badalne Lage, Girne Sambhalne Lage

Jab Se Hai Jaana Tumhein, Teri Ore Chalne Lage

Har Safar Har Jagah, Har Kahin Ban Gaye

Maante Thhe Khuda, Aur Haan Wahi Ban Gaye

Haan Hasi Ban Gaye, Haan Nami Ban Gaye

Tum Mere Aasmaan, Meri Zameen Ban Gaye

Pehchaante Hi Nahi, Ab Log Tanha Mujhe

Meri Nigahon Mein Bhi, Hai Dhoondte Wo Tujhe

Pehchaante Hi Nahi, Ab Log Tanha Mujhe

Meri Nigahon Mein Bhi, Hai Dhoondte Wo Tujhe

Hum They Dhoondhte Jise, Wo Kami Ban Gaye

Tum Mere Ishq Ki, Sar Zameen Ban Gaye

Haan Hasi Ban Gaye, Haan Nami Ban Gaye

Tum Mere Aasmaan, Meri Zameen Ban Gaye

Nandini couldn't hold herself back as he finished dedicating those lines for her. It was their song, he may have changed the lines of the lyrics yet it still portrayed their love and she broke her promise not to cry. Her emotions overwhelmed her that night, she ran to the back stage and straight into his arms. "I love you Manik" she confessed as she hugged him. "I love you too Nandini. There could never be a better occasion than tonight to dedicate this song." he hugged her back. Manik whisked her out before his friends could ambush them. "Manik, where are you taking me?" Nandini asked as she followed him. "You will know when you get there" he told her. Manik took her to his favorite spot in Dehradun, a place where he always felt that the stars are within his reach. "Here we are... mera favorite spot" he told her. The place looked so magical; the night view of Dehradun was breathtaking. The sky was full of stars glittering; it felt as if all the stars came down from the sky for them. "It's so beautiful Manik" she was mesmerized with the place that she didn't notice what Manik was up to. "Nandini Moorthy, will you be mine forever. Will you marry me?" he was on his knees as he proposed her. Nandini was spell bounded by his proposal; tears of joy choked her that it took her some time to actually regain herself from the sweet surprise. She felt as if the stars were shinning brighter that night coaxing her to say yes to him. "Yes Manik... Yes Manik I will marry you" she cried in joy."Thank god because my knees were already killing me and I thought that I will grounded here because you took almost forever to answer" he joked as he got up. "Manik... "she punched him playfully. Manik handed over an antique wooden box to Nandini and signaled her to open it. Nandini carefully examined the box; it was a beautiful wooden jewelry box hand-carved with little hearts. "Go on, open it Nandini... Your surprise is in the box, not on the cover" he told her. She slowly opened the box and to her surprise, a few fireflies flew out from the box, adding glow to the starry night. Inside the box, she found a beautiful ring. "You like it?" he asked. Nandini caressed the ring; it was simple and exquisite gold band with star-shaped diamonds around it. "It's very beautiful Manik" she told him. "Just like you" he told her as he slowly slipped it into her delicate finger and sealed it with a kiss. "You are officially mine Nandini." he declared as he bends over to kiss her with the stars and the fireflies witnessing their reunion.

My imagination of Manik's ring for Nandini ❤️⭐️❤️⭐️❤️⭐️

Nandini decided to speak to Virat about them that very night because she wanted him to hear it from her and not anyone else. She knows that Virat adores Manik but she wasn't sure how he will react of having Manik permanently in their lives."Virat, I know you like Dehradun, you have lots of friends in your school but what if Mama suggest that we move to a new place? Do you want to try out a new place, new school or new friends? What say Virat?" Nandini finally asked him while she was putting him to sleep. "New place? Kahan?" his smile slightly faded which worried Nandini. "Mumbai" she answered hesitantly. "Mumbai!!!" Virat's face automatically lit up. "Does that mean we can see Manik uncle, Cabir uncle, Dhruv uncle everyday... I can play with Aisha everyday... I can dance with Navya aunty, eat those yummy pastries that Alya aunty bakes and learn all the magical tricks that Mukti aunty showed me" he excitedly ask. "Hain baba, you can do all that. In fact, you will go to the same school as Aisha" Nandini told him. "Can we also stay with Manik uncle?" he asked innocently. "You want to stay with Manik uncle, why do you want to stay with him? Do you like him that much?" she asked him puzzled with his request. "Aisha stays with Cabir uncle and her Mama. So I thought we will stay with Manik uncle just like Aisha. Manik uncle is so cool Mama, he thought me how to play guitar. He also loves puzzles and he knows so much about cars. When he took me for walk with Aisha, he told me interesting stories just like how Papa used to do "he naively explained."Virat, do you miss your Mama and Papa?" Nandini asked. "Not as much as last time but whenever I see Roshan or my other friends talk about their Papa, that's when I miss Papa very much. How Papa used to take me to the park, we talk about cars, watch birds and play soccer." Virat's eyes became teary as he spoke about Dr Bakshi. "I'm sorry Virat, I thought I could be both your Mama and Papa but I was wrong." she hugged him back. "Mama, don't cry. Aap bahot acha hai. You love me so much but just that Papa ka yaad hamesha atta hai." he tried to console Nandini. "Acha baba, I'm not crying. aap tum mujhe console karongi" Nandini asked him. "Hain, main apke big and strong boy nah" he proudly told her. "Acha sunno Virat, I have something to tell you or actually ask you. Today your Manik uncle asked me to marry him and I told him yes but I also told him that the wedding will only happen if you are ok with it. Issiliye I wanted to know why you want to stay with Manik uncle" she asked him. "Mama said she got married with Papa because they love each other. Does that mean you and Manik uncle also love each other" he asked her. "Yes Virat, Manik uncle loves me and I also love him but I also love you as much as I love him. If I marry Manik uncle, then we will be staying with him in Mumbai, he will be part of our family. Do you want Manik uncle to be part of our family, part of our secrets, part of our star gazing date, part of our masti? she asked him. "Of course Mama... I want Manik uncle to be part of our family" he instantly agreed."When will you marry him? Can I attend your wedding because I didn't get to see Mama and Papa's wedding" he asked. Nandini giggled as Virat was more excited for her to get married compared to her. "Wedding will take some time Virat, we need to do lots of preparation before the wedding. And of course my wedding will not happen without you...Ok Virat, it's a long night. Time to tug my baby to sleep" Nandini reminded him. "Mama, can I call Manik uncle as Papa? " Nandini could see the yearning in his eyes when he asked her that. "Virat, why don't you sleep now? When Manik uncle comes tomorrow, you can ask him yourself." she suggested as she kissed him good night.

The Fab 4, Navya and Aisha left to Mumbai two days later while Manik rescheduled his flight the following day. They were all excited when they heard the good news, Nandini's relocation back to Mumbai and of course the most awaited wedding. They all decided to cut their vacation shorter so that they could go back to Mumbai early to start on their respective task entrusted by Manik. Cabir left his car behind for Manik's use whenever he comes down during the weekends. "Both of you better behave yourselves tonight. Kyun ki, Cabir aapaka the glorified chaperone cum nanny won't be around to keep an eye" Cabir whispered but it was loud enough for Manik and Nandini to blush before he walked into the departure hall. Manik extended an extra day not only to spend with Nandini but he needed the time with Virat. Nandini shared with him about Virat's approval yet Manik wanted to ensure Virat didn't have any hesitation to accept him. Manik knew scars from childhood can haunt one forever. He would never want Virat to experience anything more after losing his parents."Buddy, I heard there is soccer game going on nearby. Do you want to go watch the game? But of course if your Mama says ok" Manik suggested to Virat. "Soccer..." Virat's face lit up with excitement. "Mama, please can I go with Manik Uncle? I promised to behave" Virat sought her permission. "Ok Virat but make sure both of you come home by dinner time. I'm making your favorite pasta" Nandini gave her approval. "Cool, then buddy we can drop your Mama home and go have some boys' time" Manik announced.

Manik and Virat had such a fun time at the game. They cheered and booed with the crowd, Virat never had so much of fun. After the game, they headed for ice-cream treat."Did you enjoy yourself Virat?" Manik asked. "Enjoyed?? I had so much of fun." Virat hailed in excitement. "Trying out soccer instead of just watching it will be much fun. When you come over to Mumbai we will have our own soccer match, both of us a team against Cabir & Dhruv. What say?" he asked and Virat instantly agreed with his mouthful of ice-cream. "Nandini told me that you enjoy evening walk in the park. So you want to go for a walk before we go home if you are not tired" Manik suggested. "Virat, I know a lot of things have been happening really fast in this past few days. I bumped into you in school, then we became friends, then I realized my Nandini was your Mama, then both of you are moving to Mumbai and finally me marrying you Mama. Nandini told me that you are OK with all this but I really want to know from you Virat. Are you really ok buddy? Is there anything that you want to ask me? Is there anything that you want to tell me? Is there anything that you don't like about me or is there anything anything that you are not happy about? " Manik asked him and he only got a blank look from Virat as response. It made Manik wonder whether did he make any sense to the little kid, he just wished that he took some advice from Cabir, his love guru cum parenting guru. "I will always be your buddy before Manik Uncle" Manik assured him just in case he needed assurance to speak his heart to a stranger who is suddenly intruding into their personal space. Virat looked up at Manik, and that gave Manik jitters .He felt as if the Virat was studying him, which gave him the dejavu feeling when he had to impress Ams. "Mama loves you a lot" he finally spoke. "Acha, how do you know that your Mama loves me? Did she tell you?" Manik's lips slowly craved to a smile as he asked. "I know because you are Mama's memories. Whenever I miss my Mama & Papa, I used to cry looking at their photo the same way Mama used to cry whenever she sees your photo in the old magazines that she keeps in her room." he naively answered. "So you said OK to Mama because you think she loves me a lot?" Manik asked and Virat shook his head. "So tell me what made you say OK?" Manik coaxed him further. "Because whenever I'm with you, I feel like I'm with Papa." came a very truthful reply that moved Manik to tears.

Manik saw the same yearning that he had in his childhood, a yearning for love and affection from his parents. Manik yearned for maternal love from his mum but Nyonika was too busy establishing her career. Manik was just a means for her to sustain her position in his father's property list. On the other hand, his dad loved him dearly but he was busy in expending his empire for his only heir, Manik; he didn't have the time or patience to fulfill Manik's basic needs. He gauged that Manik's happiness lies in the legacy and riches that he would hand over to him but he failed to understand where Manik's happiness truly lied. He failed to understand Manik's need for attention, his need for love, his need for guidance, his need for a father. His dad showered him with riches that every ordinary kid hated him for but what Manik wanted was what every ordinary kid took for granted. When his dad found out Nyonika's true colors, it was too late for damage control. She threaten to take Manik away from him if he divorces her, she knew Manik was his weakness and her trump card towards fulfilling her dreams. His dad moved to Pune while Manik stayed behind with Nyonika in Mumbai. The guilt of depriving Manik of paternal love, he blindly grants everything and anything that Manik wants; just exactly as Nyonika wanted. She instigates and drives Manik to extreme edge where his anger provokes him to commit mistakes. She bails him out; in return he helps her to increase her stake in the Malhotra Empire. Manik's anger towards his father for abandoning him when he needed him the most overrules his love for his father. Over the years, he understood his dad's decision to move away from their lives but he was never able to embrace him the same way he wanted to when he was a kid. "Are you crying? Did I say something wrong?" Virat felt guilty. "Nope, it has got nothing to do with you. Mujhe bhi mere Papa ka yaad agaye" Manik shared his secret. Virat got up on the bench so that he was tall enough to reach Manik. "Mama says it's ok for boys to cry" Virat whispered as his delicate fingers wiped off Manik's tears. Virat's gesture touched Manik so much that he pulled him into a hug. It was then Virat knew what attracted Virat towards Manik since they day he met him. It was the qualities of Nandini in Virat that attracted him. Nandini didn't just raise Virat but she nurtured her upbringing in him. She didn't give birth to him but she definitely raised him to be her son and soon to be their son in all ways.

Manik gave Virat a peck on his forehead. "Dekho Virat, always remember that your Mama loves you as much as she loves me. So no matter what happens, your Mama's love for you will never change." Manik assured him. Virat smiled, his angelic smile gave him the same bliss that Nandini's smile does. "Can I ask you something?" Virat suddenly asked. "Of course, go ahead" Manik smiled. "I asked Mama but she told me to ask you. " he build the suspense which made Manik wondered what could it be that Nandini refused to answer neither did she hinted him. "Of course buddy, you can ask me anything" he told Virat. "Can I call you Papa?" He softly asked. Manik was taken aback with Virat's question. He accepted Virat as his son the day Nandini told him about Virat but never in his wildest dream had he thought Virat would have accepted him so soon. Manik's heart soared with pride and happiness as he picked up Virat in his arm, twirled him around in joy as he answered him "Of course you can Virat". "You can imagine how happy I'm to hear this" he confessed and Virat hugged him back. At last, Manik truly understood what Cabir feels for Aisha.

There were no boundaries for Nandini's joy as she saw the two men who holds a significant place in heart walking through her door laughing. It was memorable moment in her life that she captured it with her heart. "Looks like someone had lots of fun without me" she pretended to be hurt. "Mama, it was lots of fun but would have been great if you came along" Virat told as he ran to her arms and kissed her. "Soccer and me!" She shook her head in disagreement. "Ok Virat, go freshen up." She told him. Before she could look for Manik, he was already behind her as if he read her mind. His arms snaked around her waist as he whispered "I missed you too". "Looking at both of you, it doesn't seem that you actually missed me" she teased him. "Acha, you want me to show you how much I missed you" he asked as he pulled her closer and nuzzled her neck, making her turn all red. "Manik...Manik... Not now. Virat may walk in any moment. "she stopped him. "Not now means later? With no disturbance...Bring it on Nandini" he smirked as he saw her biting her lips realizing what she has blurted out. "Manik tum nah... "she pushed him away. "Let's wrap up dinner fast because there is a lot to catch up tonight" he whispered in his husky sexy voice that turned her crimson red once again before walking off to freshen up.

Nandini was clearing up while he volunteered to put Virat to bed, which he achieved with ease thanks to the tiredness from their outing. Virat's words about him being Nandini's memories struck him as he was walking past her room. He decided to detour to her room instead of the kitchen. Her room was simple yet warm and shades of red were everywhere in her room from the curtains till her quilt. Right next to her bed, was framed picture of her and Virat. Next to it was another handmade frame which held a picture of both of them on the confession night with her tie bracelet framed together. He caressed the frame as it reminded of how he kept his bracelet safely along with all her memories in his room. Then he saw stacks of magazine neatly arranged near her study table. She has literally bought all entertainment magazines in the market that has featured him or Fab5. Her Gibson acoustic guitar was carefully placed on the guitar stand, which happens to be his favorite too. He spotted the earring that he presented for their first Valentine, his first ever gift that he has bought in his life along with all her earring collection on her dressing table. Manik was surprised when he opened the wooden chest on her table. It had all the notes that he has written for her along with the hair pin that he gifted her for her maiden performance. He sat down with the chest and started reading all the notes that he has written for her. Manik couldn't help but to laugh when he recalled how he once chided her for leaving him a pink note. In return, he ended up writing countless sorry notes along with love messages for her.

"Mr Manik Malhotra, haven't anyone told you before that it is wrong to invade a girl's room" she chided him. "Sorry Ms Rulebook never heard of that. But I clearly recall that it is totally acceptable to "invade" my future wife's room. Just to see how much she has changed over the years, how wild is she, how hot is she" he teased her. "So did you get what you were looking for?" She played along. "Unfortunately no... Maybe you can help?" He smirked as he pulled her closer. "I thought you loved surprises, so why don't wait to see what your future wife has in her mind for you. Patience pays my dear" she reminded him. "I didn't know you actually collected those sorry notes because you were so angry at me and so many things happened that day" Manik asked as he showed her the sorry notes. "I was indeed angry but at the same time it was precious to me. I didn't know what made me do it but I'm so glad I did it. So that night after Dhruv dropped me back to the hostel, I ended up walking back to college instead of Navya's room. I begged the security to let me in so I can collect each one of them. You told me that you stopped writing when you lost count of the sorry's that you have written but I kept count. There were 143 sorry notes in total. 142 are here while the one close to my heart is safely kept here" she walked over to the drawer next to bed and pulled out another frame and passed it to him as she sat down. Nandini has actually framed the sorry that he drew with the flowers and smiley face. "What is so special about this sorry that it got framed?" Manik wondered. "Who would have thought Monster Manik could draw something so cute? So this is indeed a collector's piece for me, more precious than Picasso's piece" she boasted. "Well Ms Nandini Moorthy, your smile is the magic wand that brings out the unbelievable and impossible out of this Monster" he complimented her. "You know what Nandini, I was all set for a romantic night today but now I have become so emotional looking at all this. On top of that, I have an early morning flight to catch tomorrow" Manik sulked. "Mr One Track Mind, we will meet again in 3 days" she reminded him. "Shall I cancel my meeting tomorrow then I don't have to wait for 3 more days?"Manik suggested. "Manik No... You are not cancelling your meetings" she commanded. "Ah... Finally my Nandini is back" he sighed. "What do you mean by My Nandini is back???" she was puzzled. "Aur kya... I miss the tigress, the one who was always ready to pounce and attack at everything that I do. Off late, there was no argument from you. You happily agreed to almost everything I said. Nandini, you need to get over the guilt. There is no point looking back, there is nothing we can do to undo the past. So promise me, no more guilt struck Nandini. I want my old Nandini back. The Nandini who challenges me, the one who argues with me. I miss seeing my flustered Nandini" he told her. "Manik... I only argue with you when you are being unreasonable. Tumse argue karne ka koi syok nahi" she pretended to be angry. "Arey baba, I was joking... " Manik tried to calm her.

This is the Sorry note that got framed in case you can't recall of it...😉😉😉
