"And you know! I really like you" He caresssed her palm while she smiled.
"And don't worry! You can talk about anything to me okay? If you are pressurized by your family..I don't think so! But if that's the case, please do inform me" He looked at her while she smiled and said "No..They didn't pressurize me! It's totally my choice" He smiled.
"Then lets go" He stood up and asked for her hand to which she blushingly gave and stood up. But alas! Her heel broke and she fell on the bed wincing in pain.
"Nandini.." He knelt before her and touched her feet to which she refused.
"What happened! Let me see your feet!" He looked at her with questioning eyes.
"You? Ho.. How can you?" She stammered due to the pain.
He made a face and held her feet in his hands while she started protesting to which he showed her his eyes and said "Stay quiet!" And started examining her feet and then slowly rubbed her feet to make her relax and then stretched it and the pain was gone.
"Stand up now" He gave her his hand to which she stood up and no pain. She smiled widely at him while he too gifted her his precious smile.
"So? Is it a Yes?" Divya and Shreya asked both of them as they were walking on the stairs and giggled.
Both nodded in a yes and the family hugged each other out of happiness.

Nandini was on her study table, engrossed in her thoughts.

Writer's POV.
And as she was scrolling down the pictures, her bhabhi hugged her and whispered "Ohho! Someone's a way too handsome to take eyes off, no?" Nandini widened her eyes and looked at bhabhi blushing deeply "Please bhabhi"
"No.. Actually" She was interrupted with the vibration of Nandini's phone where a notification popped up *Manik Malhotra wants to be friends on f*******:* Nandini bit her lips and looked at Asha who gave her a teasy smile "Seems like he too is stalking you" Nandini lowered her eyes when Shubhaan started crying and Asha went down.
*Hello* It was him. Her cheeks got all red and she typed *Hi*
*Busy?* His, next message. Yes! In drooling on you *No,Say :)*
*Can I call you?* His next messgae made her jump and she hurriedly closed the door of her room and sat on her bed and typed *Ji *
And there was a call.
"Hello" He said over the phone while she smiled and said "Hi"
"So, how are you?" He asked out of nowhere which amused Nandini but she said "I am fine. What about you?"
"I am fine too" Both kept quite for a minute.
"Urm! Nandini" He bit his lower lip.
"Yes?" She smiled.
"If you are not busy, will you go on a brunch date with me ?" He asked nervously which was clearly depicted in his voice. She giggled and said "Yes sure"
"Okayy" He was so happy that he was actually mentally jumping "So you have your work at?" He asked.
"Urm! I get two hours break until there's an emergency so ..1-3" She informed to which he smiled "Great! You just message me the address of your workplace and I will pick you up"
"Okay" She smiled.
And the talks continued.
