Manik is very happy. He came to know many things about her.

Next day Manik is total busy as it is party in the evening, Nandini is also busy in confirming his meetings in party.
At lunch Manik asked Nandini "are you coming to party?"
"If I needed I will"
Manik felt as if he is already missing him. If she comes to party I can spend more time seeing her.
"I think you should come but not alone bring your bhai as it will be pretty late and not safe to be all alone in party"
"I will ask bhai to join"
"Good! Wear saree it's in traditional dressing style" Manik is excited
Both got back to party.

Nandini entered party with Abhi
Manik saw her, she is beautiful in blue saree simple and elegant.
Manik smiled.
"Your office joining was so simple why??"
"That is why you all here now, Ok enjoy the party I have to attend guests" Manik stood up
All started questioning Harshawardan.
Manik went inside the party as all the interview is going near entrance
Nandini came near him and wished "good evening sir! Lovely party, he is my brother Abhimanyu"
"Great to meet you, thanks for coming I am Manik Malhotra"
"Who don't know you, glad to meet you thanks for inviting"
Both talked on random topics, Manik suddenly remembered
"Me.Abhimanyu, Thank you very much, actually I remembered, three years back you helped me and Druv when we were in drunken state, I never found you I searched, it was very embarrassing moment for me still I feel it gave me a good friend" giving his hand Manik offered friendship
"Don't be embarrassed happens in life such things you still remembered and thought of being friend to a common man shows your generosity"Abhimanyu took Manik's hand
Nandini is in shock "so he remembers and he searched for us then how come he couldn't recognise me??? When I am still having those eyes haunting in drams till today and his voice saying twinkling eyes are beautiful? Why? Did I change?" Nandini questioned herself
Manik saw her shocking expression
"Actually by seeing Nandini in office for first time I recognised but felt like saying all this, .... but dropped the idea it may felt cheezy to saw to young lady and it wa pretty embarking moment so didn't felt comfortable" Manik explained
Both sister and brother smiled and assured that it's ok
"That is why I invited you both thanks once again" Manik excused himself as some one called him.
