"Alrighty....now that Ms Chipkali is gone. Party karte hai yaar!" Cabir said out loud. "Chal Manik...Nandini ke saath ek dance to banta hai."

"What? No..mujhe dance nahi karna hai." Manik refused.

"Arre? Kyun nahi Manik bhai? Aap dono ki reception hai....ek dance pls. Nandini is a great dancer!" Riddhima begged.

"Yeah come one bhai! Come on bhabhi!" Dhruv also encouraged them. 

"One Dance! One Dance! One Dance!" Everyone chanted.

Dhruv & Ishaan pushed Manik onto the dance floor while Riya & Riddhima did the same to Nandini making her fall into Manik's arms. The music started and MaNan was already lost in each other's eyes.

(14 years and still this song is one of my favs! Its just so deep and passionate! Also...Akshay & Katrina look great together right?)

Dil kho gaya,

Ho gaya kisi ka,
Ab raasta mil gaya,
Khushi ka..
Aankhon mein hai khwab sa,
Kisi ka..
Ab raasta mil gaya,
Khushi ka..
Rishta naya rabba,
Dil chu raha hai,
Kheeche mujhe koi dore, teri ore..
[Teri ore, teri ore, teri ore, hai rabba
Teri ore, teri ore, teri ore..]- 2 times

Manik & Nandini start dancing, still just looking at each other. Everyone watching could see tha chemistry.

Aaa..
Aaaaa

Khulti fizaein, khulti ghatayein,
Sar pe naya hai aasaman,
Chaaro dishayein, hass ke bulaye,
Yu sab hue hai meharbaan..

A man in a mask is seen among the many guest. Since everyone was paying attention to MaNan....nobody noticed him. He had a sharp knife in his hand and was looking straight at Manik.

Haann..
Hume to yahi rabba,
Kasam se pata hai,
Dil pe nahi, koi zor, koi zor
[Teri ore, teri ore, teri ore, hai rabba
Teri ore, teri ore, teri ore..]- 2 times

While they were watching Manik & Nandini dance, Abhi noticed his parents walk in. First they were talking to Prithvi & Raj then they both saw MaNan dancing and watched emotionally.

"Oye.." Abhi nudged Cabir. "Woh dekh...Mom Dad aa gaye."

Cabir looked and was surprised to see them in tears as they watched Nandini. "Is it just me or are they crying?"

"Haan....ek kaam karte hai. Gaane ke baad Nandini se intro karwa deta hai Mom ki...Im sure kuch toh paata chal jayega." Abhi replied. Cabir nodded in agreement.

Ek heer thi aur tha ek raanjhan,
Kehte hai mere gaon mein,
Sacha ho dil to,
Sau mushkilen ho,
Jhukta naseeba pao mein,

Meanwhile while dancing, Manik pulled Nandini closer and their bodies moved as one. It was as if no one else was around....just Manik & Nandini. (God...why is it soooo hard to decribe dancing?)

Ho ho

While dancing, Nandini noticed the man in the mask and saw him rush towards Manik with the knife out.

"MANIK!" Nandini screamed, pushing Manik out of the way and falling ontop of him in the process. The man was startled and cursed at his failure but quickly ran from there. Manik whipped his gun out and shot at him.

Bang! Bang!

"Aah!" Out of fear, Nandini screamed out and buried her face into Manik's shirt. Almost instinctively, Manik put one arm around her protectively and also to assure her. He motioned to Rehan who pulled out his gun and he & Dhruv ran after the man with a few more men. Cabir & Abhi stayed behind to see if Manik & Nandini were ok.
