With my friends and all the family i came nandini's city to meet her and to tell her that i changed. The pain of loosing her has made my love strong and i am guilty for my doings. I can do anything to her her. Ramesh uncle even came along with us. He always treated me just like his son so he also want my happiness but alas he don't know anything about nandini's childhood and her deadly alliance with her chachi. She respect her so much then why she didn't got love. I just love alia now i love her as my sister because calling her as a friend would be her insult because whatever she did is more than what a friend do.

I came here just with that hope i'll get my nandini but after coming here, i just saw which i have never even thought in my dreams. My nandini is sitting on a couch with a other man and her chacha and chachiji is doing their tilak. They are joining them with their blessings in the presence of all of us. Alia was standing in the corner and she is upset on something. Nandini is also upset even their chacha ji is upset. Wait!!! When every one is upset then why the hell this roka ceremony is taking place. I won't let that happened. I'll soon do something i won't let nandini leave me so easily.

After their roka ceremony their all attention shift towards us. Narayan uncle look at us with happiest expressions where alia's mom was watching me as her dream. Thank god harshad told me everything if not then i would have got stuck in her drama. Double face lady but wait why i am paying my attention to her. I am here for nandini and for apologizing to both of them because i have hurt nandini directly but alia directly as whatever i said to nandini had affected alia equally as, they are so much attached with each other emotionally.

Suddenly looking at me alia become super happy but nandini try to control her tears. She is looking so beautiful but face is pale. That bastard besides her give me a displeased look seeming like he didn't like my presence but from now on you have to bear with it bloody moron. All the time i looked nandini with the softest expressions i have but she looked down. I felt that bastard clutched her hand tightly while looking at me.

How dare he holding her hand. I will cut his bloody hand.

Controlling my emotions i just stepped in with my family and narayan uncle came and hugged all of us where we touched their feet nandini came and touch my mom and dad feet and become super happy to see mummy in sindoor and mangalsutra. Alia did the same after taking blessings of elders they go inside to get us some snacks.

" Are what a pleasant surprise we are just going to inform you and inviting you for nandini's marriage." It hurts it hurts like hell to hear this. Nandini's, marriage with someone else. Is my mistake that much huge that no one is gonna even listen to me but nandini is not happy if she would be happy i will think of letting her go but her unhappy face made me more firm to take her.

" No narayan ji we came to meet you and even we have came with a proposal. " Ramesh uncle said sadly looking at me and my whole family and friends looking at me with sad expressions so was i.

" Raghav beta meet my family friend and his family. " As narayan uncle exclaimed he came with a fake smile and touch elders feet.

" He is raghav nandini's fiance." As chacha ji exclaimed i was feeling so low. If i wouldn't had did all that then i would have standing beside nandini as her fiance.

Soon narayan uncle shift us to guest rooms and alia and nandini came to serve us. I look at nandini but she wasn't looking at me. Suddenly a tear escaped from her eyes and fall it into a glass of water and i picked the same glass. Nandini look at my face with shocked expressions but my eyes were just shouting my love and pain. She ran out when she couldn't overcome and suppress her feelings.

Narayan uncle look at us confused but ramesh uncle initiate the conversation.

" Actually narayan ji we came here with a marriage proposal. Actually viraj and bhabhi ( nyonika) want nandini hand for their son manik. They want nandini as their daughter in law. " Ramesh uncle, said and chacha ji stood up from his place.

" Manik is indeed a perfect boy but nandini is bonded to raghav. How can we think like that when a alliance has already arranged with raghav how can we even think like that. " Wow just wow did they ask nandini. I am not gonna be silent this time because i know nandini's happiness is only exist with me.

" I want to say something. " I said and all of them turn towards me. I was little hesitate but i had to blurt out whatever i did.

" See chachaji i love nandini and when we met in college we fall in love with each other she even love me more than me but she is upset with me because.............................. " I have complete my pov with head down because it's so shameful but suddenly chachaji said something catching my attention.

" But if she had loved you why she didn't told me about it. "

" Because she was not having the courage she thought about your reputation. When you have already promised to get her marry with raghav. How could she even think of opposing your words papa. " We heard alia voice from the door. I sighed because now we all got the point.

" Chacha ji i really love her. I know i have hurted her but i can make it up. I can do anything to earn her forgiveness just want a one chance from you. Then it's up to you with whom you want her to get married. " I said and chachaji think.

" But why nandini was doing all this. She loved manik then how she easily convinced to get arranged with raghav. " Mom asked with a curious face and what alia said just make my blood boil. I can feel anger was getting into my nerves.

" He she wouldn't have taken this decision i would've been in the jail till now. " Alia said and hugged narayan who was looking down while creasing her hairs.

" I am with you manik. Nandini is last symbol of my bhaiya and bhabhi. I can't see her unhappy. I will take care of raghav. You try your best but i can't assure you because last decision would be her's. " Chachaji said and i sighed in relief.

" No chacha ji please don't include raghav in all this. It's a request." Chacha ji nodded and left the room.

Alia suddenly came and hugged manik and he also hugged her back.

" Thanks for coming now i can see my didi's life is not gonna ruin. " Alia said and i cupped her face.

" That raghav, is he ok?? Why he was giving me those unpleasant looks. " Manik said and alia told him about his psycho nature. Manik clutched his palm in anger.

" We have to save nandini. " Kabir shouted in anger.

Nandini was making food for everyone when shikha came with happy face while humming a song.

" Nandini isn't it good. My alia is going to marry a very richest bussiness man in india manik malhotra. I mean her dream is going to be fulfill." Shikha exclaimed with joy and nandini look at her shocked.

" Marriage............ " Nandini shuttered with words and shikha smirk.

" Yeah malhotras came with a marriage proposal for alia. My alia is bold and beautiful so it's obvious their son was spellbounded by my alia so they directly came with a marriage proposal. " Shikha said smirking.

" They want alu to get married to manik. " Nandini asked hiding her tears and shikha give her a evil smile. " I know raghav is good but not in comparison of manik malhotra. He couldn't resist my alia so came. " She said and alia came inside.

Shikha hugged her and she become shocked. She broke the hug and look at nandini pale face.

" What's happening?? "

" Nothing your father is talking with our relatives. " Shikha said.

" But he is talking with malhotras wait!!! * alia stopped in her track and look at shikha* means you don't have any problem with manik. " Alia asked and shikha said no so alia happily hugged shikha.

" I always knew you can't be that bad. Obviously malhotra is our relatives and i am the happiest person to know that you are happy with this marriage proposal. " Alia exclaimed.

" I just want my daughter's happiness. " Shikha crease alia's hairs and hugged her.

Nandini ran out of the kitchen try to control our tears.

Terrace scene

Nandini was looking at stars 🌟 they were shining ⭐✨ but nandini eyes were not. Her eyes were red and she just thought what she did when she saw manik with other girl and now she is going to see alia beside manik which was hurting her. Suddenly she felt someone's present besides her and found raghav who was intertwining their fingers with each other. She try to take her hand back but his hold was tightl.

" Thinking about me na. Don't worry just some days more then i'll take you away with me. " He said and i couldn't even smile fakely. I am feeling very disturb. I forcefully take my hand back.

" Nandini i came here to just tell you this thing that nandini i want you to stay away from manik. You are going to be wife of a royal. I don't want to see you around manik malhotra. " He said angrily holding my wrist and suddenly harshad came from behind.

" Why you don't believe her. You toh said you love her then what's, the reason of threatening her like this that too on terrace alone!!!!! " Harshad asked him and he look at him with sharp eyes.

" Actually harshad nandini is mine i know but i can't believe some outsider. That's why just try to...

" They are not outsider raghav they are more than umm like family. " Nandini said with happiness in her eyes but raghav look at her with sharp eyes she stop and looked down. Harshad observe this.

" Ok nandini bye i am getting late. " Raghav hugged nandini and give a smile to harshad and went away.

" Wow nandini what a superb choice you have. Didn't anyone told him if you love someone then you should have trust them. " Harshad said holding the same railing as hers.

" Don't know why bhai, no one trusts me. Not even manik today chachi ji said manik is going to get married to alia and............... " Listening her harshad got shocked and ran away to manik before she could even complete what ever she said.
