NANDINI: "that's where it feels like chand raat  all the roads covered with beautiful lights mehndi gajray churiyaannn uffff that place actually makes me feel like it's eid"
Manik just said nothing bcz he knew he can't win from her in this argument so he drove the car there

Nandini from childhood used to come in that street only even the shopkeepers there knew her very well...when they reached there nandini just ran out of car nd manik after parking his car came behind her she was standing on a stall where there were bangles which she loved all coloured bangles there manik smiled looking at her excitement...

NANDINI: "how is it manik" showing her both hands
MANIK: "beautiful you know na I just love this churiyan and mehndi on your hands" he kissed her hands from the side not to spoil her mhndi nd she blushed..

Then she went towards the khussa  stall nd asked manik to select khusas for her nd manik did...she was so damn happy she never knew she can even enjoy without her friends there...
She liked some of them as she had mehndi on her hands so manik bend down sat on his knees and made her wear the khusas to check the size she liked a few of them so he bought her all she liked nd made her wear one of the pairs......everyone was looking at them probably recognizing manik nd he was well aware of all this but didn't care as it was her wish...few of the ladies even wished "khuda jodi salamat rkhy" but they decided not to respond

After they were done with all this they reached a food stall there nd nandini insisted to eat from there only so they ordered nd manik made her eat her food nd all the while nandini was just adoring this guy nd thinking how blessed she is...
NANDINI: "thankyou manik thankyou so muchhh"
MANIK: "thankyou for what?"
NANDINI: "for doing all this even though you dont like such places but still you came nd did all these things for me even though people were recognizing you..making me eat in public sitting on your knees nd making me wear shoes all this..."
MANIK: "as long as it makes you happy i dont care what whoever thinks nd yeah I dont like such places but I love mehndi these churiyan nd all in your hands"
Nandini was about to hug him but he held her arms
MANIK: "save this hug for another day your mehndi will be ruined"
