"Every one at my house knows it including dadi her Hines. They all are curious even I am" he again paused eating ice cream leisurely watch her never ending smile and blushing. "I am bad expressing, I think you should get along used to this Royal tag"

Nandini is silent. A big flood of happiness is drowning her she is unable to breathe. Manik is enjoying her situation.he knows that she is at the verge of saying as yes but she can't as he didn't propose her. Still he did. He want to see her next moment
