Manik's POV:
I reached my office and heard Dad was already calling me in his cabin..
"What's up Dad..? U wanted to see me early in the morning.." I said and sat on the visiting chair..
"Yeah.. I wanted to talk to u about something really important.." Dad said seriously.. Now I also curious.. I nodded .
"I found a girl for u too marry.." He said and I started laughing..
"Sorry sorry oh my god.. I heared u said u found a girl for me..."
"That's exactly what I said.." Dad said with no humor at all
"Dad are u serious?? I can't marry someone just like that.." I protest..
"So what.. U don't even have any girlfriend.. Your mother like that girl very much.. Just meet her first.. After that it will be ur choice.." Dad explained..
"Fine.. Who is she?" Not that I am interested.. The only name was coming in my mind was Nandini..
"She is one of my best friend's daughter.. She is an independent women . right now she is managing her Father's business.." I nodded
"Okey Dad.. When to go..?"
"Today evening.. Just u and me.. Ur mom will be over excited without any meaning.." Dad said..
"Let's see..." I said and went back to my office.. Suddenly my phon rang....
Cabir Calling..

"Bol.." I received the call..
"Kya baat hain ladki dekhi ja raha hain humare bina.." Cabir said..
"Who told u?" How they always got to know...
"Uncle told me.. But Manik really! What about nandini.." Cabir said...
"Cabir I am just going to meet that girl and tell her that I can't marry her.. simple..."
"Dude.. U are sounding like a girl.. Hahaha.."
"Shut up, Cabir .." I was pissed..
"I will call u later ok?" Cabir asked..
"For what?" I was confused... he never need any kind of permission still he asked..
"For the details.. Silly " Cabir said..
"Now it's u who is sounding like a girl... Idiot!" I snapped and cut the call...
In the evening...
Finally Me and Dad reached the Murthy Villa.. It had really beautiful design and system.. Mr. Anant Murthy and Mrs. Murthy welcomed us.. But Mrs. Murthy was really tensed.. She was checking her mobile, clock time to time.. Didn't even pay attention to what dad and uncle discussing..
Then suddenly Mr. Murthy said "Where is your daughter Anjali? Didn't she know about our guest today.."
"I don't know.. She isn't even answering my calls.."
"This girl!!! She knew how important today is still she didn't show up.." Uncle shouted
"Do.. Do. n't.." Aunty kept her hand over her heart...
"Shit... Anjali.. Deep breath please.. Don't worry I will talk to her later.. Calm down.." Uncle was trying his best to calm her down..
After sometime aunty become normal again.. "If u don't mind can I talk to your daughter first?" I asked.
"Of course.. Manik I am really sorry.. I didn't expect her to put us down.." Uncle said..
"No no.. Just give me her number i will talk to her.." After collecting her number from aunty, I was roaming here and there... Suddenly I saw a beautiful picture of My Nandini!!
That means it's Nandini!! Nandini is the one whom I came to see... Now Nandini Murthy it will be fun..
I took out my Phone and Click a picture of her picture.. Then hurried down..
"Uncle, u have only one child, Nandini.. Right?" I asked..
"Yeah son.. That's why I want her to get married with u badly.." Uncle replied..
So uncle wants her to get married but she don't want that.. That's why she didn't come today..
"Uncle I am ready for this marriage.." I said..
"What?? Are u sure Manik? U didn't even meet her.." Dad said well he's shocked..
"I know what I am saying.. Now it's Nandini's turn to accept it.." I said and turned towards uncle..
"She will accept it.. U have my words.." Uncle said and I smirked.. Well this shock will surely make her look for me..
Nandini's POV:
I was inspecting the hotel if it needs any kind of renovation.. Then My Mom called..
"Hey , Mom!"
"Don't tell me u are inspecting ur hotel.." Mom said..
"How do u know?" Seriously.. Every time she just know..
"You renovated everything last month Nandini.. Stop torturing urself.." Concern can be detected from her voice..
"Mom.. m fine.."
"Can u come today?" And what for? Something happened..
"Oh.. Why?"
"Some guest coming so ur dad wants u to be here..." Mom said with a fake cheerful voice..
"Dad never care if I was there or not suddenly why? Who is coming mom.." I said sternly..
"Don't use that tone on ur mother.. Malhotra's are coming for ur marriage.." I curse under my breath... I should have guessed it...
"Ur father wants u to be there.. Otherwise...." I cut her..
"Otherwise nothing!! U know I don't care anymore.. I can't be his son and I can't be his certain obedient puppet.. I am tired of it.. I m busy today... If u see it's past 8 then don't wait for me.." I said and cut the call..
Everything has it's limit and I already had mine.. My relation with my father became worse and I didn't try to mend it.. Mom also said nothing.. Maybe she also had her limit.. It's going beyond worse now..
"M not a teenage girl anymore.. I am 23 year old and I can surely choose my life partner.. So dad we need a final talk..." I said it my self.. Manik's face flash infront of my eyes.. Years ago I wanted him to be my life partner.. But it's not good for him...
It was already evening.. I made my mind.. I won't go.. Then that guy will cancel the marriage.. Perfect..
Mom was calling me continuously.. Mom worry didn't good for ur health.. Still that man making u go restless..
I didn't receive her call.. I think my plan worked as she stopped calling me.. I finished my dinner and tried to clean my house but my phone rang again.. But this time it was my dad... I received his call..
"Why didn't u come?"
"I don't that was important.. I have more important things to do.."
"Don't talk back like that young lady.. U knew they were coming to see u.."
"I m not any product that they have to come to see me then examine me and later buy me.. So I didn't think it was necessary.."
"Yeah.. U are right that's why that boy agreed to marry you.. Even when he didn't see u once.."
"Wha... what!!! How can he? What kind of creepy guy u want me to be with!"
"Shut up.. He is my friend's son.."
"Then I am sure I am not marrying that guy... One experience with your so called friends son was enough for me.. So please no more.."
"Nandini he is nothing like Maddy.. And I promised him that U will get married to him.."
"No dad.. I don't want to marry your friend's son."
"U have to.. U know u don't have any brother.. So my empire will going to handle by ur husband.. And trust me he is a nice parson.."
"I will never agree for this dad.. never!"
"Now don't be a child.. He is coming to see u the day after tomorrow.. I want u to sort everything out.." He said and cut the call
I will show u hell Mr. Malhotra... U yourself will cancel the marriage..
