After consoling manik both ( Manik and cabir ) came back to the stage where nandini was standing with fab 3 manik doesn't liked it. He was about to lash out on nandini but saw that she is genuinely laughing. He stood there admiring her. Cabir observed all his facial changes and thought only nandini can help him to bring back old manik.

After some 10 mins both manbir went to the stage and Manik held Nandini by her waist. He pulled her to himself and said

Ma: Nandu are you hungry.

Nan ( politely): No.

Manik acknowledged it and Mukti and alya again started talking to her standing beside her left as Manik was on her right side. Guests kept on coming and having a word with Manik. And he patiently greeted everyone but never left nandu's side.

Soon the ceremony ended with a couple dance. In dance nandini felt that she can trust Manik, as he was very careful and protective towards her. Which was evident to everyone who are present in the hall.

By the end everyone left except Nandini's family and fab3.

Man: Chachaji I want to show Nandini the mansion. As hardly 15 days are left for marriage so I want her to know the ways in mansion before itself. I think it will be easy for her.

Chacha: okay beta I don't have any problem.

Manik takes Nandini with him and shows her every corner of the mansion and also their room and her closet, without any naughtiness this time as he know he has to pamper her.

After sometime even murthy' left the mansion. At that time fab 3 bombarded cabir with questions as how can Manik marry 18 year old girl. Having no interest to respond to them Manik retrieved to his room and slept thinking about Nandu.

Here in living area fab 3 felt bad for his behaviour but accepted it as they deserve it.

Ca: listen guys Nandini is in danger as her chachi and Soha are jealous of her and wants to get her married to a 40 year old man for money. So Manik has to take this step to save her. And even he was following her from 1 year so he knows better about nandu than us. So chill.

With this he to left to get some sleep. But this information was shocking for them as Manik never like this after that incident. So they now have a hope the nandu can change this monster.

(Guys I am not mentioning every wedding ritual.)

Soon after the wedding Manan took every elder's blessing and our Nandu was crying as she can see all her dreams are crashed and will also miss her chacha. Chachi and Soha are trying to be fake sad.

Chachaji came and hugged Nandu with one hand and with another hand held manik's hand.

Cha: Manik take care her. She is naive and innocent. Support her and trust her please as she need it most. And I have seen it how much she is craving for it.

Manik nodded and assured him. After that they came to Malhotra mansion which was dwelled up like a bride and played the finding the ring game where Nandu won it. Cabin was most happiest person there to see Nandu will rule the Manik and their marriage life. He was dancing around nandu saying she is the best and Nandu was clueless as what is happening and what is wrong with cabir. Everyone smiled at his antics, but our Manik was irritated. So he cleared his throat and said

Man: we are going to our room as the rituals are tiring and we need rest.

Everyone accepted it as they were hell tired with the events. Soon everyone departed to the rooms. In the room manik asked nandu to change in the closet and sleep as she would be tired. Without any argument nandu did as he said. manik too changed himself into comfortable clothes and slept hugging her. In sleep nandu was snuggling to manik like a baby does to mother for warmth and he smiled looking at his baby.

The next day was nandu's 1st rasooi and she just know payasam so she cooked that. And everyone praised her and gave her gifts. Nandu was happy. Soon manik left to office with cabir and raj Malhotra. Nandu was alone and was bored being in home. She thought to watch tv, but after a period of she was bored to watch it as nothing was interesting. So she slept for sometime and was thinking as how to call Manik or anyone. She doesn't even have phone and even having landline in house she don't know manik's number. It was past lunch time when she had lunch that too very little. Then moved to kitchen..

Nan: kaka..

Kaka: ha beta apko much chahiye??

Nan: nahi.... Woh..

Kaka: boliye beta..

Nan: Woh... apko unka number pata hai kya..

Kaka: kiska beta.

Nan: Woh.... Kaka... manik ka.

She was so embarrassed to ask hence by the end she closed her eyes. Kaka chuckled and gave her the number.

Immediately Nandu gave a ring to him through landline..

Manik was so engrossed in work that he failed to recognise that his phone has been ringing from 10 mins.. and here nandu was being afraid all the negative thoughts were over powering her. As she don't have anyone except him to call her's. After almost 10 to 11 rings Manik picked up the phone and saw it was home landline. With frowns on face he lifted up the call. And heard nandu's sniffs. And was shocked....

Man: Nandini is that you.. what happened why are you crying. Did someone said anything to you. Please tell me what happened..

Nan: can you please come back home soon....

Man: I will be there in 20 mins.. stop crying...

Manik hurriedly left office after informing his p.a to handle the things in office.. he was in Malhotra mansions exact 20 mins.. he rushed to his room, where he saw the room empty, making him frown. He checked washroom, closet. And then went to balcony where he saw Nandu curled up like a ball in one corner and was crying historically. Soon manik rushed to her and took her in his embrace. Then he sat there with her in his lap. After almost 20 mins or so, he lifted her face and cleared all the tears. And nodded no, Nandu sniffed lightly and gave him a small smile. She knew she can trust him but completely is a question to her. Manik took her inside and after locking balcony came and sat beside her, gave her water to drink and asked her what actually happened.

Nandu was in dilemma as to disclose it to him or not. As she was scared that he will get angry on her for behaving childishly and one question was running in her mind that because of her childishness will Manik also leave her like her parents. So she was staring at his face with frowns.

After for about 5 mins manik moved close to her and side hugged her. Nandini just wanted him to be her side always. She don't know this feeling but pushed her self more in him. Manik saw that she is pushing herself to him. So he gently took her in his lap and hugged her while stroking her hair. She started rubbing her nose on his chest and inhaling his cologne. Manik smiled at his childish lady love. He pulled her more to him and let her do whatever she wants. The only thing which was disturbing him is why Nandini was crying and asked him to come home soon.

After for about 5-8 mins nandu looked his face just by lifting her face a little. And asked him...

Nan: will you also leave me like how Amma and appa left me ???

Manik frowned but quickly nodded no. Stroking her hair lovingly. He asked..

Man: what happened baby.. why this question...... did I do any mistake.... Or someone said something to you.... Please share it with me.......

Nan: voooo... if I tell you the reason will you think I am being childish and then will you leave me because I am childish.

Man: no baby.... I love your childishness... so I will not leave you at any cost in this life.

Nan: Ummmmm. Can I trust you ?

Man: of course baby..... I promise I will never ever break your trust. Please tell me what happened....

Nan: hmmm........... after you guys left to work.... I was all alone..... I was bored...... I took a nap, watched tv..... then arranged my things and cleaned our room little according to my taste..... ( with this she looked at him again to see if he is angry but he still have that smiling face and that eyes just shows his love towards her ) then after roaming in this big house I had little lunch..... I wanted to call you but I don't have phone and I don't even know how to use it. As chachi never gave me one from childhood. She used scold and beat me if I touch landline also...... ( his grip on her increased Nandu again placed her forehead on his chest and closed her eyes. ) so I went to the kitchen and took your number from kaka....... I was so embarrassed as I being your wife I don't even know anything about you not even your phone number. ( Manik smiled and kissed her head ) After thinking a lot I ringed you but it went unanswered. So I got scared ( she held him tight in her little hands) As I don't have anyone to call mine except you. Amma and appa tho left me to chachi and went away. So I got scared will you also leave me like that. As I don't want to loose you. ( her voice choked and Manik started rubbing her back while she held him tight ) please don't leave me. I know I am childish and just 18. Chachi told me I can't fulfill your needs and desires until I am 21. But I have no one except you to call mine and I promise I will change like the way you want. I promise I will learn everything and provide you everything to expect and want. Please don't leave me..

With this she again started crying after consoling her Manik made her to look his face and said pulling her close to him.

Man: listen to me carefully baby. I am not gonna leave you in this life. So don't think like that. I know because of the incidents in your life you started thinking like this. But I am there for you now and forever. So don't think I Will leave my baby. And coming to changing your self, please don't I love how you are. I love your childish nature, I love it when you rub your face on my chest, I know it has been just 1 day but I am loving everything you do. So don't you dare try to change your self. And coming to my need and desires then I would say it can wait. I really don't have any problem. First I want to spend time with you to think about anything. I want to treat my kid. I want you to achieve something on your own. Okay are you understanding me??

Nan ( with tears ): thank you............... can I join college.? I have completed my 12th with good marks. I want to become a nutritionist. And I even get bored sitting in home. I don't know what to do. So can I join the college please..

Man: you don't have to say please baby. You can join the college. I will have a word with cabir and will ask him to search a nice college for you okay....

Nan ( smiling brightly): sachiii...

Man ( with content smile ): muchiii.

Man: and about phone you will get your phone tomorrow. And I will tell you how to use it okay.

He said her removing her hair from her cheek. While nandu just nodded her head.

After 10 mins manik saw time and called his pa.

Man: listen Akash... I am not in office and also it's 4 and it will close by 6 Soo mange this 2 hours. And schedule the appointments or meetings to tomorrow. If anything is important then only call me. You get it.

Akash: yes sir. I will handle here.

Man: good and also ask someone to send latest iPhone by tomorrow evening with activated sim. You handle the billing and everything.

Akash: okay sir.

Man: cool bye.

With this he saw that Nandu is dozed off by sitting on him. He didn't wanted to wake her up or disturb her. So he also took a nap. After an hour manik woke up and saw that nandu still clinging to him. He smiled at his baby. And untangled him self slowly and moved to freshen up after that he went down closing the door and adjusting the comforter and ac.

While coming down he saw cabir and fab 3 sitting in the living room and talking something. So he just went and sat beside cabir.

Cab: Thuuu..... what are you doing here. I mean you were supposed to be in office. And let me guess you look like you just woke up....

Manik sighed and said...

Man: in lunch time nandu called me from landline and when I lifted the call after rejecting her 10 calls. She was crying so I just came back to see what happened. Then by 4 I somehow put her to sleep and took an hour nap as any ways I have to come back by 6.

Cab: good that you stayed with her. But what has happened. Why was she crying..

Man: vooooo....... She got scared bro... that I will leave her like her amma and appa. As I didn't lift her calls. So she just got insecure..... and cabir search a nice college.

Cab: don't tell me you are going to study again......

Man ( irritated ): yaar cabir please.... Search a nice college for Nandu. As she is getting bored being in home. And moreover she wants to become a nutritionist. This is the 1st thing she asked me in this whole one day of marriage. So search a nice, secure college for her..

Cabir smiled and nodded. Fab 3 felt bad as he didn't even look at them. But were happy to see him happy and see his little changes. After about 5 mins nandu came down while rubbing her eyes and saw that Manik was sitting talking to cabir. So she just moved to him and hugged Manik by sitting beside him. Manik felt that someone is hugging him and when he turned his face to his left a smiled appeared on his face. He saw Nandu snuggling to him like a baby. He just started stroking her hair. Cabir and fab 3 had a smile looking at them. They saw that Manik has a content smile on his face. Which went missing for years.

Cab: so haven't this baby slept too long. I mean nandu tum kitna soyegi.....

Nan: ( lifting her head a little to see cabir) kya karu. I am bored and I have nothing to do....

And she pouted saying this ... Manik just want to kiss that pout but stopped himself.

Cab: true that..

Then nandu observed fab 3 she smiled at Dhruv and went and hugged alia and Mukti. And again came back to her place beside Manik and hugged him by placing her head on his chest spoke.

Nan: Mukti di, when did you all come.

Fab 3 smiled at her as someone other than cabir recognised them.

Muk: long back. When you were sleeping.

Nan: can I call you Mukku di, aloo di, and Dhruv bhaiya.

She asked looking at them. While with tears 3 of them accepted

Nan: ( and turning to cabir) and appko cabbu bhaiya Bolu ?

Cab ( with a bright smile ): what ever you want choti. So can we fab 4 call you choti.

Nandu nodded smilingly.

Cab: vaise choti what about Manik. Will you call him also bhaiya.

Fab 3 controlled there laugh looking at manik's face. While Manik was shocked...

Man: Chup bey. I am anything but brother to her. Haina baby.

Nandu smiled shyly and said...

Nan: voooo..... I will think about that cabbu bhaiya...

Everyone smiled looking at her and went to there respective rooms to get freshen up after having snacks. After dinner everyone retained to there room.

Next day manik received phone as while coming back he saw the delivery person entering in side the gate. He went to his room and saw that Nandu was re arranging the things in room. After freshening up both came down at the same time cabir entered the mansion. After sitting on the couch....

Cab: Soo bhai why don't we take admission in space itself for choti. See firstly we know everything about it and as we studied over there it will be safe for choti too.

Man: cabir I don't mind but neyonika will there. I don't want Nandu to face neyonika. You know right how is she.

Cab: yes I know but even you are the other trusty to that college. So think because I think it's better for her. And also we can handle neyonika. And tomorrow you go and have a word with principal. I am sure she will get a seat easily.

Manik thought for a second and said okay. Nandu was happy as she is finally going to pursue her career. She just ran to cabir and hugged him. While they smiled at her.

Next day morning.. while having breakfast manik spoke. ( guys everyone are there. Fab 3, manik, Nandu, cabir, chacha, chachi and Soha except raj as he went to business meeting. Everyone were having breakfast silently)

Man: Nandu listen to me you have your phone right. If you see I have saved my number and cabir's number so without thinking twice call us if you face any problem. Okay?

Nandu nodded her head. While chachi and Soha were not liking this..

Chachi: beta why you called us this early morning. Soha have to go to college. You know she is a space student.

Manik smiled and said

Man: I know chachi. Actually I am one of the trusty to that college. So I got to know that you transferred nandu's scholarship to Soha name. Technically tho it's nandu's right.

Chachi have a faint smile..

Man: and Chachaji it's just that I thought it's better for her to continue her studies. So I am taking her admission in space. So I just wanted to have a word regarding this with you. Are you okay with it.

Chacha: smiled and said more than okay beta. You know it was her dream to achieve something like her appa.

Manik while holding her hands..

Man: I will fulfill her every dream and wish Chachaji.

Chacha just blessed them. Soon they finished their breakfast and before leaving the house with Manik Nandu went towards fab 3

Nan: can I also get your number too. Bhaiya and Dii's ?

They nodded their head smilingly and gave her their number.

Man: Chale baby??

Nandu nodded smilingly and with this everyone left to their respective works. Here Soha was planning to take her mobile and insult her in college. As she was not liking Nandu getting so rich and handsome husband.

Soon after entering college. Manik gathered everyone in the auditorium. All the girls and boys from all the branches were standing there and waiting for Manik to say the matter.

Man: so guys I know you must me shocked and worried and why I have called you guys. So the thing is I am married and as my wife's chachi didn't allow her to complete her studies I took an admission for her in this college. I hope everyone behaves better with her. Because if I see single drop of tear in her eyes. I swear you don't want to see the monster in me. So you better behave good. And one more thing. Someone named Soha murthy is studying here I don't know her branch and all so I am telling you guys she is cousin sister of my wife. If my wife faces any trouble caused by her directly and indirectly through anyone. I will make sure to spoil there life as well as I will dig there grave with my own hands.. AM I CLEAR???

Everyone: Yeee.. Yess... sir.....

Man: good so let me introduce my beautiful wife.

He went and brought Nandu. His hands were on her waist clutching it slowly showing his right on her.

Man: so this is NANDINI MANIK MALHOTRA. My WIFE. You all better be good. Or else you know the MONSTER I am.

And turning to Nandu.

Man: are you willing to join from today or tomorrow??

Nan: I will join from today but my books and all.
