Soon they went out of their train and with the help of taxi they reached that aunty's place.

It was a beautifully decorated house which had a tinge of traditional look. It was perfectly decorated for a function.

Soon they were welcomed by their aunts with a sweet and ofcourse a hug. Nyonika gave introduction of everyone. They were guided to their rooms by a servant. All they wanted to do is hit the bed but their aunt insisted on eating their dinner after a quick fresh up. They quickly freshened themselves and tiredness was clearly evident in their faces why not? They danced the entire evening after their nap!

They changed their clothes. All the girls wore a salwar and the boys t-shirt with tracks.

They were served with ofcourse traditional Punjabi dishes like chole,dal makhani,rajma rice,paneer tikka, gulab jamun,allow paratha,butter naan,lassi,papad, etc..

Everyone made a great feast to their stomachs as the food was so lovely and yummy!

Again they reached their room and this time none could stop them from hitting the bed..

Abheer was jumping in happiness after seeing his Mumma... Soon everyone retired to sleep not before changing themselves to a night wear...

At MaNan's room:

Nandini was pacing back and forth. Manik was casually sitting on the bed and playing games in his phone....

Manik noticed that Nandini wants to say something but she didn't say and this is making her restless...

Manik: you wanna say something to me?

Nandini: what? Nothing:(

Manik: don't lie. Then why are you restless? Don't you wanna sleep?

Nandini pov: Manik how can I say you this?

Nandini: but Manik...

Manik: common Nandini feel free to open up to me...

Nandini: Manik the thing is...

Manik kept his phone down and gave his entire attention to her..

Nandini: Manik there is no couch over here.... Where would I sleep? I cannot sleep down as my back hurts a lot after a tedious journey...

Manik: so what sleep on the bed..

Nandini: then where will you sleep Manik?

Manik: hmm... Do you mind me sharing bed with you??

Nandini: I don't know....

Manik: what do you mean by you donno?

Nandini: how can I share bed with you? Chi chi you are a boy and I am a girl. How can we slept together??
( In a dramatic tone)

Manik: ok then I will go out of the room. You sleep alone in this room..

Nandini: no don't go. But let's stay in our limits ok?

Manik: Needless to say..

Nandini: give me the cushion and the pillows I will create a border between us.

Manik: but I need but the cushion and pillow for sleeping.... Don't worry Nandini I don't have any wrong intensions for you.. you are safe with me. I will not do anything unless you are not willing to do so.

Nandini: thank you Manik...

Saying so both took the ends of the bed. Initially they were feeling odd for sharing a bed but then sleep took over them.

Next morning, they had to wake up early in the morning andso Nandini kept an alarm in her phone. But our sleepy heads ignored it and continued to sleep..

Manik was greatly disturbed by the alarm andso he switched off her phone...

After half an hour, his phone was buzzing with calls.

Manik: why are calling this early cabir??

Cabir: get up warna you will get late for the puja.

Manik: ok fine....

Finally Manik woke up only to see his Nandini cuddling up more to him.

Manik: Nandini, wake up. Get ready we have to go down..

Nandini: we still have lots of time and don't worry I have kept an alarm in my phone...

Manik: oh shit! Her phone is switched off

Nandini: whose phone??

Manik: your phone..

Nandini: what's the time??

Manik: it's 7

Nandini then only opens her eyes and saw that she was sleeping in manik's lap. He was sitting and resting his head on the head rester.

She was seeing here and there and looking more embarrassed..

In order to lighten the situation, Manik spoke up.

Manik: why are getting embarrassed so easily with your husband?? First and foremost we are friends right, then why are you feeling odd??

Nandini: hmm.. nothing. I will get ready.

Manik: yeah till then I will sleep..

Nandini: whatever!

Nandini leaves to Washroom and after taking a bath, she came out wearing a red salwar. Manik was awe struck by seeing her. The droplets of water falling off her hair was driving him crazy. She didn't notice him andso he decided to act as of he was sleeping....

Nandini: Manik, get up..

Manik: hmm...

Soon Manik woke up and came out after taking his bath. He wore his clothes inside the washroom itself so that it won't be that embarassing for both of them...

Nandini was applying kajal to her eyes and she was looking elegant.

( Nandu's dress)

(Alya's dress)

(Navya's dress)

(Mukthi's dress)

( Abhimanyu's dress)

( Cabir's dress)

(Maniks dress)

(Dhruv's dress)

They soon went for the breakfast table and that aunty instructed them about the entire day's schedule.

After breakfast was supposed to be a puja for the welfare of all the couples and evening they were supposed to go to the temple and there they had some other rituals as well.....

All geared up for the puja but that aunty noticed something different in Nandini and Manik..
