Part 26:

Manik: U hv been around for so long, but i never knew u the way i saw u in the past few days. Now i know that there is a different person inside the Nandini that u show. The more lively girl, who is much much more confident, talented and smart. I wanna know about her.I wanna know, what she likes, what she doesn't. Her preferences, her dreams, her expectations from life, everything. I wanna know the real Nandini under the working head that u put on.

He saw her expression but still it was blank when she finally looked down and picked up her glass and said,

Nandini: Ohk....I'll tell u whatever u wanna know!

Manik smiled to his broadest at it, which Nandini saw and giggled.
Nandini: Its like u hv won an award or something.

Manik: This is not less than any achievement for me. I hv said it before, u being urself with me is what i want.

Nandini smiled at him and then said,
Nandini: What do u wanna know??

Manik: Ohk so lets start with ur.... Hobby??

Nandini: Mus---
She stopped at it lost in her thoughts while manik patiently waited for her answer.

Manik: Nandini...

Nandini: Umn.. Reading!!

Manik: Wow thats nice..... And what about ur favorite festival.

And the list continued, they talked and talked and talked for a long time. During the entire conversation Manik kept on asking her something or the other which she​ he answered with enthusiasm. He made sure not to ask anything about her past, as he didn't want her to shut herself from him again.

They had an amazing time, telling each other a few stories about themselves, enjoying the food, and not to forget Manik's constant flirting.

After about two hours, they decided to move back to the room. Manik again picked her up in his arms, and this time it felt different to both of them. There was no awkwardness, no hesitation. As he picked her up, she wrapped her arms securely around his neck. His closeness didn't make her shiver, instead it gave her the warmth which she always wanted.

They moved out of the restaurant, again joined by the constant gaze of the passers by. They had almost reached the reception, when his phone started ringing in his pocket. Manik made Nandini sit on the couch and took out his phone to see Dadi calling, so he excused himself for a minute.

As he went away Nandini turned towards the other side to see a cute 3year old boy sitting along with his mother. The lady was had a big baby bump which the little boy was caressing and talking to his coming sibling. Nandini smiled looking at his cuteness when a man walked to them, probably his father and said,
Man: They say they don't hv any spare room.
Lady: Plz ask them to arrange na.... I don't think i will be able to search for more hotels... I m really tired now..

Nandini saw at her tired face as the man talked to the manager trying to convince him for a room just for the night. The manager straightly denied them as the hotel was full. After a few minutes of listening to the conversation Nandini called the little boy towards herself and said something to him. The boy smiled at her and then ran towards his father and pulled his hand to grab his attention

Boy: Dadda... We got room....

Man: Vaibhav don't joke... Let me talk!!

Boy: No dadda.... Wo aunty ne bola.... Wo meko room dengi...
