I Need U To Be There.... For a little more than Always!!!

Part 51:

The haldi function started with both Dhruv and Aliya sitting next to each other as their friends and family showered them with all the love and blessings. The elders started the ceremony, rubbing small amount of haldi paste over them but as the turn came to the younger clan, the scene changed completely.

Both dhruv and Aliya were immersed in the yellow paste completely, while Dhruv's cloths were all almost torn. After Fab5 and Dhruv's cousins, Navya stepped ahead towards them and applied a little of it on their faces.

Dadi: Very gud Navya beta.... At least u didn't fill them up like holi.....

Dadi commented glaring at Manik, Cabir and Mukti, who stood by a side smirking at Dhruliya, with not even a hint of being sorry for their deeds.

All of them laughed at Dadi's words and slowly Nandini came ahead and sat in front of the couple. She took a bit of the paste in her hands and applied it with at most love over Dhruv's cheeks, who smiled at her with brotherly love, but the next moment his expression changed completely as Nandini rubbed both her hands over his face and hair.

Aliya: Nandini.... U too???

Nandini smiled at her cutely and picked up more paste,

Nandini: Aww baby... Didn't expect it coming??? U too are in line Aliya....

And with this she rubbed her hands all over Aliya's face and hands....

Aliya was about to roll back with Nandini got up and moved away from them.

Nandini: Sorry guys.... But itna toh banta h!!! After All, these functions are done for the bride and groom to celebrate their togetherness only!! Right dadi??? Or a court marriage also could hv been Ohk na......

Dadi walked near her and raised her hand, acting to slap her,

Dadi: U too hv become naughty in this idiot's company!!

Dadi said looking at Manik, who gave her a toothy smile and Nandini blushed at her words. With this Nandini too joined Fab3 after washing her hands and watched the rest of the ceremony go by, when she heard a whisper.

Manik: Hmn... So someone is becoming naughty in my company haan???

Nandini blushed again but still didn't reply to his words trying to maintain a straight face.

Manik: By the way Nandini.... I hv something that belongs to u!!

Nandini looked at him confused with Manik pulled out something from his pocket and got it in front of her,

Manik: Recognise this???

Nandini was shocked looking at an earring that Manik held in front of her and immediately looked away hiding from his eyes, and nodded in a No.

Manik: Ohh... So this is not urs??

Nandini: No... Why will it be mine?? And why will it be with u??

Manik: Hmn... So, if this is not urs then who was she. U know what I think there was someone in my room last night. This has to hers only, I found it stuck on my pillow this morning.

Nandini: Last night.... Room??? Ho.. How can u be so sure that som.. someone was the.. there??

Nandini stammered making him smirk as he bent a bit lower closer towards her ear and whispered,

Manik: U know, even if ur mind is not conscious, a body always reacts to such encounters.... This morning I woke up at one side of bed, all bothered and disturbed.... If u know what I mean.....
