Chap 34

5 years later...

There were all hustle and bustle in the Murthy's House. People running everywhere. To top it all, was a girly voice, shouting at anyone and everyone coming on her way.

And the girl was none other than the little doll who'd now taken the disguise of a tigress. And why would she not? It was her dear brother's wedding tonight after all and every worker had decided to sleep like logs that day, or that's the way she liked quoting. As they were all sitting without a work... according to her.

Where was her guy if she had been shouting like a maniac, running from here to there in the whole mansion?

Well, he was right behind her. Following her anywhere and everywhere she went, blinking at every worker with a smile she blasted on. Cause he knew how much they'd been working since morning to get all the last-minute tasks done. But Nandini being herself was overly worked up, thinking that her brother's wedding ceremony was gonna be a huge massacre if she didn't supervise things herself.

"Arre bhaiya fix the flowers properly na. The pillar should be fully covered with flowers. And why aren't you using the fresh ones? Ghar le jane ka plan hai kya?", there she blasted again, Manik rubbed her back in soft circular motions to calm her down and blinked at the florist to go and continue his work.

Anant-Tara huffed seeing this view for the last half an hour from upstairs.

"If not Manik, God knows whom we'd have found out for our walking talking cracker.", said Tara shaking her head. Anant chuckled.

"Of course he'd be the best our girl could ever get. Shrikant and bhabi would've been so happy seeing this 'impossible jodi' that we thought to be, were finally together.", Anant gushed with a hint of sadness as he too wanted his best friend and his sister to be with him today.

Nandini turned to Manik with a tired puppy-eyed look. "It's okay, sweetheart. All will go well. Don't worry, I'll look after everything. Okay?", said Manik wiping her sweat with his kerchief.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his heart, "How are you so calm always?" He softly patted her head.

"How are you so worked up always?", he joked earning a smack on his chest.

A few hours later, in Nandini's room.

"Ughh this thing. Maniiik.", she whined again. Manik chuckled standing behind her in front of the same mirror.

"Yes? Commander Manik Malhotra always on duty for you, Ma'am." She gave him the nastiest glare, Manik laughed doing the doris for her.

And yeah, Manik grew a lot professionally in the past 5 years. And was respectfully promoted as a Commander a few months back. She was proud.

The next 20 minutes followed by more whines and millions of questions about lipstick shades, earrings, brooches, stilettos, and much more. And Manik answered everything patiently. Or should I say, answered everything 'randomly'? As he hardly spotted a difference in her lipstick shades or earrings or stilettos.
