Chapter 60

Nandini felt different driving to the office today. Maybe it was because she had made her mind about leaving it and starting her own studio. The day she started working, she had done it with Couch fashions now she was taking a leap forward and daring to start again from fresh. It scared her but she wanted to try it for herself and her dreams.

Her mind drifted to Manik and she smiled as she parked the car and greeted everyone with a smile thinking about those memories she made here.

She entered her cabin and found Aditya waiting for her.

He gave her a hug and she hugged him back missing him.

He gave her the coffee and she took a seat on the chair.

"Have you thought over it properly?", Nandini asked him and he nodded.

"I told you I will follow you everywhere you go and having to work with you is a dream that I am living. Don't worry about me.", Aditya assured her and she sighed knowing she can't convince him otherwise.

"Okay then be ready for an adventure. It's not going to be easy. Where is Nikhil?", Nandini asked him not seeing him inside the office.

"He couldn't believe you agreed and got so excited last night. He went on to sign the deal for the place early morning for the studio.", Aditya said and Nandini chuckled.

"The interns planned something for you to congratulate you.", Aditya said her and she smiled.

"They didn't have to. Anyways let's go see the progress one last time. When will Manik be here?", Nandini asked him as she stood up picking her files.

"Afternoon.", Aditya said following her.

"You were asked for an interview regarding the competition. Do you want me to say yes?", Aditya asked her and she thought over it.

"I will tell you.", She said as they walked into the room to check on the production and designs.

All afternoon Nandini checked the progress silently bidding goodbye to the memories she made here.

Aditya informed her about Manik's arrival and she nodded with a smile.

It felt weird thinking him as her employer and treating him professionally now.

They walked to his office where we was talking with Sara and one of the other designers.

Nandini gave a nod to Aditya before knocking at the door.

He looked up at her and gave a small smile not able to resist.

"Come in.",Manik said as he gave the files he was signing and dismissed everyone.

Once they were out he came by her side and gave her a hug.

"I missed you." Manik said and she smiled realising it was just not her.

"Me too.",She said as she pulled apart and he pulled the chair for her to sit as he went back to his.

She kept staring at him admiring how well he looked in formals with his beard now trimmed and hair at place. He looked at her amused.

"Let's finish the talk first and we can go out for lunch.",Manik said raising his eyebrows breaking her thoughts.

She gave a shy nod embarrassed and he shakes his head at her being her usual self.

"Have you made a decision?",He asked already knowing what the answer is.

"I have.",She said with a nod a little nervous.

"I know you have given it a lot of thought so I won't say anything else.",Manik said forwarding his hand and she smiled giving him her resignation letter.

He went through the contents once before approving it.

"Congratulations on your journey ahead Ms. Murthy.",Manik said with a tease in his voice as he forwarded his hand to shake like a true boss.

"Thank you Mr. Malhotra.",Nandini teased him back.

"Get in touch with the HR about the payments and leave procedure and take this week to handover everything to your colleagues.",Manik said her as he came to her side.

" I can't believe I am letting you leave and take 2 more good designers with you. I feel like a shitty businessman. ",Manik said her honestly and she chuckled walking closer to him.

" I feel like you are the best boyfriend.",She teased running her fingers through his collar and he smiled.

"I have lot of things to discuss with you. Come let's go for lunch.",Manik said her and she nodded as they walked out.

She could feel the eyes of everyone on them as Manik kept talking about what to have for lunch and where to go.

Manik touched her hand to get her attention as they stopped near the elevator.

"What's wrong?",Manik asked her looking back and everyone averted their gaze and pretended to work.

"I just thought how good it was to be away where nobody kind of knew us and we could you know walk together without having so many eyes on us.",Nandini said looking up at him as the elevator came up.

Manik thought over it and nodded.

"I guess it was nice being away but one day we had to come back and face everything again. Going back to the routine.",Manik said pulling her in a hug as the elevator goes down.

"I don't understand why it's such a big deal for them anyway. I mean it's your life. You are human too. What's so strange about you having a girlfriend that or being around someone?",Nandini asked as they walked to Manik's car together.

Manik gave her a smile opening the car door.

He started the car and turned to her once.

"I guess it's curiosity. For them I am someone who is high above them in social status to financial status. They are curious about my life. They want to know how I achieved it. Was I lucky? Did I do something illegal? Who do I make business with? They are curious to look for ways to have what I do. So they follow everything about me. The people I hang out with to my girlfriend. They want to know if the girl I am with is someone who equals me or Is she someone who got lucky with me.",Manik explained her with a shrug and Nandini nodded taking all of it in.

" What do you think about me? ",She asked suddenly and he turned to her.

" Am I your equal or I got lucky with you? ",Nandini asked looking serious and Manik turned to her to see if she's teasing him.

" I think I am the one who got lucky with you. ",Manik answered with a wink and nodded again to confirm his thoughts.

Nandini narrowed her eyes at him as he stopped the car at a small restaurant.

" You are avoiding answering my question by distracting me.",Nandini said as he opened the door to her side.

Manik put a hand on her back guiding her inside as they took a seat at the corner.

"I am not. I don't feel like you are either of the one you asked.",Manik said giving her the menu.

"Why am I not your equal?",Nandini asked him a little hurt.

Manik put his menu down and looked up at her.

"Because in our relationship we are not equals. It means us being same on every level be it emotionally, physically or socially and I don't think we are same.",Manik said hoping she would understand but when he saw her frown more he sighed and grabbed her hands.

" Nandini, we balance each other out. There are times when you are more stable emotionally then me while I am more stronger physically. I don't like to socialize but you do it for us. Two same pieces can never hold each other for long but pieces that balance each other and fit in do. And I have told you before you fit perfectly in my arms.",Manik explained rubbing her palms with his.

She smiled feeling like a fool to get hurt. She couldn't understand why she was being so emotional today. Maybe because she resigned or maybe because she was scared of the outcome when they make their relationship public.

"Do you wish to tell everyone?",Nandini asked and Manik now understood the reason.

"Yes but not right now. You are starting a new venture. You don't need the negative publicity along with my name being attached to your success. I know for a fact people wouldn't notice you achieving so much, a finalist and being nominated in the biggest fashion competition at such young age. They are just going to see you as my girlfriend and would think it was because of me. I don't want that. Also I don't think it will do me good too right now.",Manik said to her and she smiled hearing him praise her proudly.

" What do you mean by that? Is he being a trouble again?",Nandini asked frowning.

" When is he not? I will be worried the day he doesn't do anything. It's just we both had denied the rumour about us dating that came up with the club scandal about me. Now announcing us being together in less than 3 months would give rise to more rumours and that jerk would twist it in a way to make me look bad. With the board meeting coming up I can't afford that or have you subjected to the trolls and media again. ",Manik said his fears and Nandini frown.

"Well than we need to be careful. I don't want you to have any problem because of me. I can handle a few trolls.",Nandini assured him and he smiled.

" Okay now tell me everything about what you guys are planning. Did you check on the location for your new office? Any new contracts, events?",Manik asked curious to know more.

She nodded telling him the plans she discussed with Nikhil and everything she had thought of as they ate their lunch.

Manik nodded giving inputs to her where he thought necessary.

He paid for the bill and smiled seeing her making an effort as she sat silently without a word.

Manik grabbed her hand pulling her out.

" Have you thought of a name yet? Anything I can help you with?",Manik asked opening the door for her.

"Not yet. We will think of soon. You can suggest if you have anything in mind.", Nandini said and he nodded.

"You can help me with one thing.",Nandini said and he looked at her eager she asked for his help.

"Take care of yourself and don't overwork.",Nandini said cupping his face and he frowned pulling away.

" You have such an amazing boyfriend. Take some advantage of me. ",Manik said with a smirk as he continued driving gesturing at himself.

"I have other things in mind where I can take advantage of you.",Nandini teased him running her fingers down his face.

He turned to her gulping down his thoughts as she bite her lips and went back to her seat like nothing happened.

"You are such a tease Nandini. Some day I am gonna give it back to you and you won't be able to say a word with that sexy annoying mouth of yours. ",Manik said determined composing himself and she just chuckled brushing him off.

Nandini tuned the radio and looked outside as Manik drove them around.

"Aditya said some media companies want to do an interview. What do you think?",Nandini asked him as they walked back inside the office.

" It will do you good. Just be clear to your points. They will twist your words to make headline. ",Manik said as he walked with her to her cabin.

" Okay I will be careful. Are you busy? ",Nandini asked as they walked inside her cabin.

" I have some files to check. Will go back to the main office. Need to prepare for tomorrow's meeting.",Manik said her and she nodded looking at him already missing spending time with him.

Manik walked closer taking her in a hug and she smiled relaxing in his arms.

"We both need to get back to work now that we are back. I know we can't spend all the time together like we used to on the trip. You have a lot of commitments to fulfill and so do I. We have taken out time for each other before and we will do it now too. Call me anytime you want and we can always go for ice cream or late night drives. Also we are all meeting for dinner at Ishaan's this weekend.",Manik said comforting her and she nodded knowing he is right.

"I should let you get back to work.",Nandini said still hugging him close and Manik laughs swaying her in his arms.

"I am going to miss having you around in the office. Maybe I should look for ways to work with you again.",Manik said thinking about it and Nandini smiles wide before reaching on her tiptoes to kiss him.

"Focus on your work. I don't want you to worry about me. I know it's more important.",Nandini said smiling.

Manik moved her hair behind her ear.

" Nothing's more important to me than you.",Manik whispered making her blush.

" Okay fine I will let you go now.",Nandini said pulling her hands back and he smiled pulling her in for a small kiss.

" Take care.",Manik said and she kissed his cheeks wishing him the same as he walked out from her office.

She tried to get back to her work keeping his thoughts out of her mind.

The next two days she hand over all her work to the new designers and interns and even left notes for things to be done. Manik was busy with the project he was working with Ishaan still they managed to talk during night and go out once for a drive.

Today they were having the dinner at Ishaan's house and Mukti decided to get ready together with the girls and leave.

Manik offered to drive them together to his house.

"What do you think?",Mukti asked showing the black dress she picked to the girls.

"Mukti it's just us for a house dinner. That dress is too fancy.",Nandini said while helping Navya with her hair.

"I am so confused.",Mukti said with a sigh sitting on the bed with all the clothes around her.

"Just pick something. You look hot in anything you were. Why are you so stressed? Don't tell me you want to impress him?",Nandini asked turning to her and Mukti looked at her surprised before shuttering trying to deny.

Nandini and Navya both gasped and came by her side.

" You are serious?",Navya asked and Mukti sighed.

" He hasn't made any effort to talk after the trip. I don't know why. I thought we were cool and friends now.",Mukti said a little upset.

" Did you?",Nandini asked and Mukti nodded in no.

" I wanted to but I am not sure if he wants me. I feel like he is avoiding me.",Mukti said playing with the dress in her hand.

" Why do you think so? Did he say something?",Nandini asked confused.

" He didn't reply to a question I asked in the group chat but he replied to Cabir's who messaged after me.",Mukti said and Navya slapped her head.

" Seriously? Stop letting it bother you. We are going for dinner talk to him about it.",Navya said and Mukti nodded still not sure.

" You are Mukti. This doesn't suit you. Show some confidence, pick an outfit and rock the dinner.",Nandini said making her smile.

" How about this?",Navya asked bringing a woolen knitted cream crop top with black jeans.

Mukti nodded in yes and quickly got ready.

Manik reached Nandini's house with Cabir on the passenger seat and horned twice to let them know.

He saw the movement of curtains and smiled getting the confirmation and turned to Cabir waiting for the girls to come down.

"So what's going on?",Manik asked Cabir seeing him a little tensed.

"I want Navya to move in with me. I have dropped hints for a while now but she kept giving excuses. I knew she wanted some more time so I never pressed much or said anything but after the trip I feel like we have grown much closer, So I discussed with her about it. She still made excuses and changed the topic. I don't understand why? I thought we are on the same page. Does she have doubts about me?",Cabir asked frustrated and Manik sighed.

"I don't know if it's okay for me to comment anything on this. You should probably talk to Navya about it.",Manik said trying not to offend him.

"I would if she stops avoiding the topic. I don't understand why it's a problem. She spends 3 days a week at my house. The other days I am over her house half the time. We are already living together unofficially.",Cabir said frustrated and Manik sighed.

"Do you want me to be honest?",Manik asked and He nodded.

"Don't you think you both are always together? Maybe she needs some space.",Manik said and Cabir frowned.

"Why? Does she not like me anymore? Is that why she needs a break?",Cabir asked panicking and Manik put his hand on his shoulder.

" No I meant living together means being around each other all the time. You guys are together almost all the time and the little time she has alone will also be with you if she moved in.",Manik explained.

"Isn't it a good thing. We love each other and enjoy each other companies.",Cabir said confused.

"It's a good thing but tell me when was the last time she went out with her colleagues or with Nandini. Leave her tell me when was the last time you attended a team meeting or hanged out without her. You both need to find a balance. It's still early in your relationship. If you both keep isolating each other from others I am sorry but it won't work. Think about it and talk to her. Find the right balance that works with both of you.",Manik said to him and heard the door open.

He gave a nod to Cabir getting out of the car and giving them a hug.

" I am so sorry for making you wait. Why didn't you come in?",Nandini asked hugging him.

" I didn't want to rush you guys. Now get in we are going to be late.",Manik said opening the door for them.

He started the car and saw the girls talking among themselves and glanced at Cabir who looked deep in thoughts.

They reached Ishaan's house in no time and they all gasped at the beautiful mansion infront of them.

"He got a beautiful home.",Nandini said looking at it as they got down the car.

Manik ringed the bell and they all waited for him to open.

"Hey. Come in.",Ishaan said his voice a little rushed as he looked behind him.

They could hear voices from inside.

"I am sorry.",Ishaan apologized in advance and before anyone could speak more they were interrupted by the voices from inside.

Ishaan sighed and watched his family curiously looking at his friends and cleared his throat to stop them.

He ran his fingers through his hair.

"Uhh this is my family. My mom Ishika, My sister Advika, my niece Ahana and nephew Advit. You all know my Dad he is upstairs in his study. This are my friends.",Ishaan said introducing his family and felt all of them looked at him surprised.

They didn't think they were having dinner with his family.

" Don't keep standing. Come sit down. I think I know all of you well. Ishu talks about all of you so much.",His mother Ishika gushed and Ishaan sighed embarrassed.

" It's Ishaan.",He grunted and Manik and Cabir smirked as the girls giggled at his frustration.

" Mom enough don't go embarassing my little brother infront of his friends.",His sister Advika teased him and Ishaan frowned cursing himself for agreeing to them.

Cabir turned to the young girl looking about 14 years old.

" Hi Ahana. Ishaan mentioned you a few times.",Cabir said with a smile and she looked up at him.

"Really?",She asked innocently.

"He really loves watching movies with you. Couldn't stop talking about them.",Cabir teased and Manik chuckled while Ishaan frowned ready to throw a pillow but leaves to get some drinks for them knowing if he stays they won't stop teasing him.

"I hope you guys aren't too uncomfortable. It's just for the first time in years he looked so happy and even talked to us about it. We couldn't help but get excited to meet all of you and forced him to host the dinner here.",His mom Ishika said with a sad expression and everyone shared a look with each other while Nandini's understood what she meant.

" It's fine Aunty. We don't mind having dinner with all of you.",Nandini said on everyone's behalf.

"Yes it's completely okay. Also it's a treat watching him embarrassed and on his toes.",Manik said with a smirk looking at Ishaan who was rushing not wanting to leave his mom alone with his friends.

Everyone laughed and Ishaan looked at them confused.

"You guys continue talking. We will set up the dinner.",His Mom said standing up and looking at them.

"We can help you.",Navya offered but she shakes her head in no and left with his sister.

Ishaan sighed taking a seat and looked at his niece and nephew.

"Ahana, Advit go play somewhere else.",Ishaan said to them.

Advit was quick to grab his tablet and took a seat playing some games.

Ishaan sighed and turned to Ahana.

"I am a big girl now. I don't want to play with him.",Ahana said stomping her feet.

"You are 15. I still take out time to watch movies with you. Advit is your brother play with him when you can.",Ishaan scolded her and she sighed.

"Okay I am sorry but I really want to know your friends.",Ahana said pulling up a puppy face and Ishaan sighed and pulled her closer.

"You will leave after that?",he asked and she nodded excited.

"Okay he is Cabir. He owns the hotel you went to have dinner with your parents last week.",Ishaan said to her and she nodded excited.

"He also loves disney movies.",Ishaan added making her smile more.

"Hi",Cabir said chuckling amused a little.

"She is Navya. His girlfriend. The podcast we listen to every evening. She is the same RJ.",Ishaan said smiling at Navya and Ahana eyes widen.

" You are her? I love your segments. It's so much fun.",Ahana said excited.

Navya thanked her.

" She is Nandini. A fashion designer. You can ask her for fashion advices and spare me.",Ishaan said giving a smile as she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Really I can? I have a school dance coming up. Can you help me select a dress.",Ahana asked pleading and Nandini smiled nodding happy to see her.

"He is Ma..",Ishaan moved to continue but she cut him off.

"Manik Malhotra I know.",She said with a small blush as she avoided Manik's eyes and Nandini looks at Manik biting her lips. He looked at her confused.

"Looks like someone has a crush on you.",Nandini teased Manik who frowned a little making her and Mukti chuckle from beside him.

"How do you know him?",Ishaan asked with a frown.

"He is Manik Malhotra.",Ahana said emphasizing his name and Ishaan gave her a blank look.

Manik smirked watching him irritated.

"Stop looking at me like that Ishu. He topped the most sexiest businessman of the year list. Of course I know him.",Ahana replied with sass and the girls giggled at him looking at her with jaws open.

" Still doesn't explain how you know it. You are 15. Stop wasting time reading rubbish.",Ishaan said and she rolled her eyes.

" I know you are just jealous he beat you.",Ahana said making Manik and Cabir laugh harder.

" I like her.",Manik said to Ishaan who gave him a glare and Ahana blushed.

" Manik stop it.",Ishaan said with a glare and turned to Ahana.

" Take Advit and go somewhere else. ",Ishaan said and she narrowed her eyes and nodded.

Mukti looked up at him a little hurt he didn't introduce her. She looked at Nandini and Navya who gave her an encouraging smile.

Ahana picked her brother's hand before looking at Mukti and turning back to Ishaan.

" She is Mukti right?",Ahana asked with a smirk and Ishaan's eyes widen.

" Yes.",he said glaring at her and she smirked taking a seat on the sofa.

" Ahana",Ishaan warned but she crossed her arms.

" Fine stay but don't speak a word.",Ishaan said frustrated.

" I am sorry. I should have just made an excuse or give you guys a heads up. They are already terrible and it has just started.",Ishaan said holding his head.

"Oh don't worry. We are enjoying this a lot.",Navya said and others smirked.

They get called for dinner and everyone took a seat.

His father too came down and Cabir and Manik greeted him talking to him a little about the business as the food gets served.

"This is so yummy.",Mukti couldn't help herself praising as she took a bite of her food.

"Thank you dear. Have some more." His mother said serving some more on her already full plate.

"So Mukti what do you do? Ishu didn't mention properly about your work.",His sister asked and Mukti looked up at Ishaan wondering if he was embarrassed to say about her being a erotic writer.

"I work for a IT company. I design apps and websites.",Mukti said with a smile and they nod.

"She is also a writer.",Ishaan added and her sister turned to him excited.

"Really? Why didn't you say it before?",She said slapping his head.

"Because I knew you will get too excited and scare her away.",Ishaan murmured and she rolled her eyes at him.

" I am a writer as well. Ishu hates reading books so I really get excited when I find someone who does. Tell me about it more.",Advika asked as she pulls Mukti in a conversation with her.

They sat on the sofa after dinner and his mom Ishika brought desserts out.

" We will give you guys some privacy now. It was lovely having all of you here. Keep visiting it feels nice having so many people around. The house felt empty after all the kids moved out.",His mom said and everyone nodded as she went up with his sister.

"Your family loves you a lot.",Nandini said and he nods.

"They do but they can be overbearing at times.",Ishaan said shaking his head as he watched his niece sitting there.

"Do you guys want to go to the game room?",he asked and they nodded following him.

They watched around the house and saw pictures of the family and every small achievements of Ishaan and his sister.

"Your parents really do love framing everything. They seem quite supportive and friendly. You have a perfect happy family.",Navya said to him watching around.

"They are but we are not a perfect family. We have our shares of problems too. Growing up mom had it rough raising two kids by herself with dad busy with the business and me being a spoilt brat I didn't make it easy for her. They never really said no for any of our demands. Things changed when my sister got pregnant with Ahana when she was 18. The house was always tensed. With my parents angry at her. She was struggling with dropping out of high school and the baby. I realised I need to get my act together. I was 12 then. I started helping them out. I think I basically raised Ahana babysitting her all the time while my sister finished her school and college. That was also the time when Sia came to live with us. Mom didn't want her to be left out so on every small to big occasion she would click pictures and put them around the house or frame our achievements. It was her way to pretend we are a happy family. The habit stayed even after we all moved out and no longer had to pretend.", Ishaan shared a piece of his story with them and they were surprised at the revelation.

Seems like everyone have their own problems you just need to look harder.

"Well I guess I can relate to you on some level. My mom is lovely and cheerful. She is very supportive but infront of my dad she won't speak a word. For her my dad words are final even if she isn't okay with it. When I realised I wanted to be an RJ. I shared it with my mom . She was happy and quite supportive but when dad said no she didn't speak a word to support me. Her whole life basically revolved around my dad. I didn't want mine to be too so I rebelled against him. I wanted a life of my own and not to be like my mom. I love her but she doesn't have a life without my dad. She spent her whole life just being with him and taking care of him. She doesn't have any friends of her own. ",Navya shared her family story and Cabir looked at her as if it finally clicked to him.

His eyes found Manik who was staring at him as well.

" If we are discussing on who has the messiest family issues. I think I am gonna top it.",Mukti said with a chuckle and Manik frowned.

" Mukti",He said softly as he wrapped his arms around her.

" My parents are all about reputation. For them it's all about their image. How it's gonna look to others. They don't care about each other or me. They stopped a couple years back. It just appearances. They go to events and parties together to show the world we are okay but inside the house it's ugly with lot's of arguments and plates breaking. Sometimes I wonder why they don't get separated but it's all about reputation. Imagine there surprise when they found their only daughter writing erotic. Locked up in the house for a month. They changed my major from literature. They wanted to pick business but I chose IT the next best thing. They know I still write but as long as it's not my surname written on the book and I keep my job as a IT professional they don't mind. I guess I am lucky they don't check on me anymore so they don't know about all those boys I went out with. They would ship me off somewhere if they do get to know.",Mukti said with a chuckle thinking about how disturbing her house was growing up and writing was her escape.

Manik tighten his hold on her knowing she needs it.

Cabir felt eyes on him and sighed.

"My parents got divorced when I was young. Every weekend I stayed with my dad and rest of the weekdays with my mom. It was a mess watching them fight and blame each other for every small mistakes I made. They looked excuses to fight and most of them were about me. After some time Mom gave up and left leaving me with dad. He was never around so I basically raised myself . Growing up I didn't have any relations except my friendship with Manik and Mukti. So naturally I grew quite protective of it to not lose them too. It's okay right now but sometimes it gets out of hand.",Cabir shared his story looking down at his hands.

Ishaan grabbed the drinks and passed it around.

"I don't remember if my parents ever fought but you all know about my distant family and the orphanage. For them I was just someone who was a means to get some money but still not worth it. They would keep blaming me for everything bad that happen cursing me. I guess I was lucky to have found Soniya.", Nandini ended short as they all mostly know about it.

Ishaan forwarded the drink to Manik who took it and cleared his throat a little hesitant.

Nandini grabbed his hands and he smiled.

" Well you guys already know my story about my mother and me being adopted . Chairman was fine and tolerable but Shravan took it in his hands to make sure I was not comfortable living there. He just loved creating problems for me and I don't think he is in a mood to stop anytime soon.",Manik said sipping his drink and others stared before sipping their drinks too.

"Who wants to kill some zombies?",Ishaan asked grabbing his controllers and everyone were glad for the change in topic as they got cuddled up together talking about what's going on with them.

"When are you starting?",Cabir asked Nandini as she told them about her shifting to the new studio.

"Most probably in a month. We have still lot's of things to prepare. ", Nandini explained and Cabir nodded.

" Have you thought of a name? ",Mukti asked her and Nandini shakes her head in no.

" Still thinking. ", She said watching Manik, Ishaan and Navya arguing while playing the game.

" We have a exhibition in a month in my hotel. You can put up yours too. It will be good for promotion. ",Cabir offered her and Nandini thought about it.

" I can? ",She asked surprised.

" Of course you can and if you need any more help just say it. ",Cabir said pulling her in a hug.

" Yup we all are here for you. I am going to be the first client of yours. I have multiple book events lined up and I am wearing your dress. ",Mukti said making her smile.

" I will find something for you. ",Nandini said hugging her as well.

Ishaan called them as they started another game and they moved closer to them.
