family dinner..!

Manik: what Nandini? What is that you want to tell me such that my insecurities go away..?


Nandini: I wanna tell you the incident that happened before you saw us hugging on that day of party...


Flashback:


Nandini: aryaman, I am happy in my life with Manik! So don't even try to pursue your relationship with me...


Aryaman: but it is very clear that u are not happy with Manik..


Nandini: how do you know? We were once like that but now we have become friends and I am sure that just like we had become great friends, we will surely become good couple too....


Aryaman: I am your childhood friend Nandini. I can understand you better than anyone....


Nandini: to be frank, you are my past aryaman. Manik is my present and he is my future too.... So better stay away from me!


Aryaman: do you want me to believe you Nandini?


Nandini: you believe or not believe it's none of my business. I am not interested in you and I like Manik since our college days...


Aryaman: but Nandini, I don't think so he will reciprocate your feelings...


Nandini: I am not expecting anything from him and I am pretty happy in having him in my life. See now also he is coming to pick me up! So don't even dare to come behind me here after. I am happy to get a family like this... I never felt left out in our family. We are all good friends then only family... So just get that clear in your mind aryaman...


Aryaman: ok. If you are happy that's enough for me. But remember one thing, whatever happens I am there for you..!


Nandini: ok fine. I will leave now. Manik is on his way to pick me up..


......Flashback ends.....


Manik: do you really think Nandini that he will not come behind you.


Nandini: I really hope so. But you don't worry I will not give a damn to him....


Manik: but I don't believe in his cheezy words Nandini...


Nandini: I don't care! It's my responsibility to tell you and I have told you thats it...


Manik: I will prove aryaman is a fraud Nandini. Don't fall for his words.! Wait until the right time comes and soon you will know his real face....


Next day:


The entire malhotra family is all set for dinner... Here Nandini is trying her level best to act normal with Manik in front of others...


She has failed to know that the entire family knows their truth..! So acting in front of them was super duper useless...!! Soon they reached the restaurant. It was a 5* restaurant. The decorations were romantic! All thanks to dhruv that he had booked the entire restaurant for their family dinner.....


Mukthi: guys, let's plan something for the malhotra dinner...


Dhruv: yeah! Even I too thought of this..! Let's have a couple dance before we begin our actual dinner...


Navya: yeah! I actually don't feel that much hungry anyways....


Nyonika: ok. Bachon! U continue with all your planning I will sit and watch a romantic film on live..!!!


Alya: mom...


Nyonika: I am saying the truth baccha! Don't worry. You carry on..


Nandini: ma. Even I am not in a mood for dancing... I will join you!


Cabir: my god Nandini! Don't be such a spoiler of our plan.. see without you Manik will also be left alone right...!


Cabir to Manik: Manik you are in a mood to dance right..? ( Signs him to nod yes..)


Manik: yeah...


Nandini: but I am not in a mood. Find someone else...


Manik: but how can I find someone else? It is a private dinner, there is no public over here..! If there is someone else I will surely pick a hot and sexy girl for me to dance with...!😉



Cabir: arey ma see na they have again started their cold war..


Nyonika: ok you both stop..!


Mukthi: it's so mean mom...


Cabir: dance na Nandini... Please..!


Nandini murmers: I can dance but definitely not with Manik..!


Nyonika: I don't know why I feel like you both are having some great misunderstandings...


Nandini stammers: ma.. nothing like that! I will dance with him. No problem..!


Cabir: that's like a good girl! Dj music on!


Dj first played some peppy music to turn on the atmosphere and then some soft music for the couples to enjoy with each other...


Manik was apologizing to Nandini while dancing and she was ignoring him...! But soon they were lost in each other feeling each other's touch..


When they were about to kiss each other the music stopped and everyone clapped for them... As everyone left the stage before itself and it was just manan dancing hand in hand.. they stopped the music because if they had kissed then it would have gone further which no one wants in an open place like a restaurant....


Soon their starters arrived... They ordered gobi manchurian, paneer tikka, corn fry, Nyonika ordered soup which she shared with her husband!







After they were done with starters, came their favourite dishes.
Since they came for family dinner, they shared all the dishes....


They ordered roti, fried rice, noodles, with paneer butter masala, bindhi fry, dal makhni,tawa paneer,malai kofta..










Since Nandini was from south, she ordered dosa, idli with sambhar and chutney....




Mukthi: yaar Nandu again this south indian dish!


Nandini: if you guys don't want,then better don't eat..! I am sick of eating your north indian dishes... Let me retreat my mouth..!!


Abhimanyu: your are just like before. Nothing changed!


Nandini: is this a compliment or a sarcastic one..?


Abhimanyu: as you take my sister ❤️❤️❤️


Nyonika: ok. Have your dinner..! Stop pulling ones leg😉


Cabir: ma we didn't start and you are saying us to stop! Right Manik.?


Manik stares at Nandini...


Manik: guys let's eat! Food is in front of us and I seriously can't control my love for food! It seems too yummy!


Navya: it looks like Manik will eat everything all by himself..!


Manik: definitely! If you guys don't start eating now..!!


Cabir: I want my food! Let's munch on...!!


Everyone had their food but manan was behaving so awkward with each other..!!


Manik was holding Nandini's hand under the table and was whispering sorry..!!


Nandini saw him and didn't say anything. To be frank she was enjoying seeing Manik like this..


Soon they ended their dinner. It was time for their dessert time!!





Manik was the first one to eat the chocolate cake as it was his favourite..!!


Cabir: Manik share it with everyone. Don't complete the cake all by yourself 😂


Manik: no way! I am not going to share this with anyone..!!


Nandini was thinking something and suddenly mukthi pulled her.


Mukthi: Nandini do what I say. This time I will not let him eat everything..!!!


Nandini: tell me Mukku....


Mukthi: now listen.. ok deal?


Nandini: deal...


Cabir and Manik was busy fighting over the cake and suddenly Nandini cleared her throat to catch their attention....


Nandini: so you will not give this cake to anyone..?


Manik: no. No Sharing my cake...


Nandini was smiling naughtily as she remembered mukthi's words. Her smiling was noticed by Manik and he immediately found out that she was up to something..!


Nandini : Manik...( Called in a slow way and cheezy manner)


Manik: yes Nandu!


Nandini: not even to me you will give this cake..?


Manik was astonished by her words as she never asked his food..
Since it was her first time she asked him, he offered her a piece..


Manik: yeah sure..!! Take this!


In no time that piece of cake was on manik's face! Nandini herself put the cake on his face and here Manik was smiling like a stupid to see her all laughing!


Nandini: guys common everyone have fast or else this foodie can do anything for his cake! Hurry up..


Everyone put cake on each other's face and the entire family was laughing seeing their faces... But one person remained clean...


Who can it be none other than Nandini?


Manik: Nandini you are gone! Come here sweetheart...


Nandini: no manik. No.... I didn't do this . I was told to do this...


Manik: no more excuses Nandini take this.. you wanted to have a bite of my cake right... Then take this!


Nandini thought that Manik won't do this because it was nandini. She happily went near Manik as he offered her a cake piece. As soon as she went near him, she was sunk into the cake!!


All laughed and cabir started to roll on floor while laughing...


Nyonika: ok kids enough. I will order two more cakes! One fully for Manik and other one will be shared by others. Ok?


Manik: mom love you for this..


Nyonika: before the cake arrives, clean yourself or else the waiter will laugh at our family. All grown ups but still behaving like kids..!!


Soon they came and finished their cakes and went home remembering the beautiful family moments...
