After breakfast, all were set to temple to do puja for Manik and mukthi's bday...

Nyonika: Nandini beta, get ready. We have to hurry up. It's already getting late.

Nandini: ma, pls you go with others. I am not feeling well...

Nyonika: what happened?

Nandini: I have headache. May be if I rest I will get better...

Nyonika: but it's your husband's bday...

Nandini: ma pls understand na....

( Guys u too understand that Nandini is ignoring Manik and that's the reason why she didn't want to go to temple with them all)

Soon they all left her and went to temple.

At temple:

Mukthi: Manik don't you find Nandini  behaving odd..?

Manik: yeah mukthi. But what happened to her?

Mukthi: you are her husband you must be knowing her better right?!

Manik: hmm...

Soon they offered puja and returned home. Mukthi went out with Abhimanyu.
After they came home, they directly fell into their bed.

At MaNan's room:

Nandini was half sitting on the bed reading a novel. She indeed noticed when Manik entered but she acted like he didn't exist there...

Manik came near Nandini.

Manik: someone told they have headache and now they are reading?

Nandini didn't answer him and went out to kitchen.

Manik: what the hell happened to this girl? It's my bday and she didn't even dare to wish me and forget about the gift!

Manik too followed Nandini to kitchen and saw her struggling to take something from upper shelf.

Manik went close to her such that her back was rubbing his chest. He slowly touched her arms and took the thing from the shelf. She shivered at his mere touch. He smirked seeing the effect on her...

He back hugged her and rested his chin on her shoulders.

Manik: why didn't you wish me happy birthday?? I am still waiting to hear it from your mouth....

She tried to escape but his hold on her was way more stronger....

Manik: Nandini atleast speak to me... Why are u behaving as though I never exist??

No reply from her side.

He heard cabir's voice andso he broke the hug and composed himself. He looked for Nandini but she ran away from him in a blink of second.

Cabir: Manik romance in kitchen? Not bad...😉

Manik: kya romance?

Cabir: then what do you call back hugging and kisses on shoulder?

Manik: I was not kissing her ok?

Cabir: Manik I have eyes...

Manik: then close your eyes and get out of here...

Cabir: just joking. What's wrong with you? All grumpy in the birthday?

Manik: nothing is wrong with me.. everything is wrong with her...

Cabir: why?

Manik: she is ignoring me from today's morning....

Cabir: huh?

Manik: yeah cabir....

Cabir: but what happened? Yesterday she was very happy and normal too..... Hey man you must have misunderstood. How can she ignore you on your b-day??

Manik: come with me to my room then u will understand.

Cabir: ok let's go...

At MaNan's room:

Nandini continued to ignore manik. But when she saw cabir, she turned normal.

Nandini: cabir bhai.... You need something??

Cabir:no dear.... Just turned up with Manik. All is well?

Nandini: yeah what will be wrong?!

Cabir: ok Manik... I am leaving. See you later.

Manik whispers something to cabir.

Cabir smiles and goes.

As soon as cabir left, Nandini moves to her cupboard to get the dress...

But how can Manik let her go that easily??

Manik blocked her between cupboard and his arms...

Manik: what's wrong with you Nandini? Y are u ignoring me?

Nandini didn't reply him which made him more angry.

He punched the cupboard with full force. Nandini was shocked to the core..... How can someone be this much  aggressive ?

She literally had tears in her eyes.

Seeing her tears Manik instantly calmed down.

Manik: I am sorry Nandini.. but understand me na.... Why are u ignoring me?

Nandini again kept quiet.
He angrily cluched her arms...

Nandini had the same fierce look but still wanted to ignore him.

Manik: I am sorry Nandini. You are my love. How can I take your ignorance?

Nandini was shocked hearing the word "love" from him..

Nandini: what did u say??

Manik: huh? I said I am sorry. 

Nandini: after that?

Manik: whatever I told that doesn't matter. Thank god that you spoke to me.

Nandini: did u just call me your love?

Manik smiles.

Manik: yes because u r my love... I love you soo much Nandini. I am sorry I haven't prepared any cheesy lines but the fact of heart is the same. I love forever.....

Nandini: stupid idiot!!

Manik: hey girl I have just proposed you and you are giving me abusive words....! U r just unpredictable Nandini...!

Nandini: where were u last night?

Manik: I was in office. I had an important Skype meeting with some foreigners andso I stayed late night there and came home only in the morning.

Nandini: what nonsense? Didn't you just bother to inform me that you will be late??

Manik: I am sorry.... It happened all of a sudden.

Nandini: happened all of a sudden?

Manik: leave that! Now tell me why were u ignoring me?

Nandini: I was angry and disappointmented...

Manik: with whom?

Nandini: obviously with u!

Manik: what did I do yaar? Just because I didn't turn up last night, you are angry with me?

Nandini: no it's because u have spoiled my entire plan...

Manik: what plan??

Nandini takes her phone and shows the images of her decorations.

Manik: awesome.. but when and where did this happen?

Nandini: what sort of question is that? Yesterday night at our room!

Manik: oh man! I am really very very sorry Nandini..... I missed it... How I wish I was with you last night!

Nandini: that was the reason for my ignorance.

Manik: ok... You are completely justified. I am sorry again. Now tell me the answer.

Nandini: answer for what?

Manik: Nandini I just proposed you. I need to get a reply.  Ok atleast now wish me a happy birthday!

Nandini smiles at his cute statement. Nandini hugs Manik and whispers

Nandini: happy birthday Manik :)

Manik: thanks love...! Now where is my gift??

Nandini blushes....

Nandini:

" my eyes searches for you when you are not around. My heart aches when I don't find you. You are the reason for my happiness and without you my soul is void. All I want is stay with you forever and ever. You are my love! You are my soulmate! You are my everything! I love you...! I love you till stars and moons exist "

Manik: omg!! Thank you soo much for this and I love you too Nandini....!!
