The next morning when Manik woke up he heard Pallavi and Kabir’s voice, indicating they were back. He went to the washroom and looked at himself in the mirror. His lip had cut badly. Though he was supposed to be angry due to Nandini's act but he was not surprisingly. Instead, he felt a sense of tingling happiness. 

The thing that worried him was he couldn’t go out in front of anyone like this. They would surely question him about the cut and he couldn’t tell the truth. Next whole week Manik left for office early in the morning and returned late at night. He was wearing masks in front of everyone. He didn’t have his meal at home. Pallavi was worried for him and she forced him to eat a lot of times but everytime he escaped saying he had important work or he was late.

    F L A S H B A C K Zoya spotted Manik standing a little away alone. She directly went to him and asked for his phone saying her phone was with Nandini and she couldn't find her. Without thinking much Manik handed his phone to her. "Manik, come to this side." Kabir called Manik and he immediately went to him and his phone was left with Zoya. Zoya hurriedly ran to Nandini with Manik's phone. "It's time to check Manik Malhotra's phone and find out what he is actually hiding." Zoya spoke with a wicked smirk. Nandini looked at her unsure. “Manik will kill us, if he finds out you lied to him and we checked his phone. He doesn’t like anyone touching his belongings.” “You know a lot about your Manik’s likes and dislikes?” Zoya raised her eyebrows, passing a teasing smile to her. Nandini silently looked away. It was true she knew Manik’s likes and dis

    F L A S H B A C K It was already past 1 at night! Manik didn’t return home yet. Nandini was standing on the terrace, looking at the gate waiting for Manik to return. Though he said before leaving that he wouldn’t return home tonight, she knew he would return. He never stayed at any friend’s place at night. That time he said that only for her to hear in anger. Nandini held her head. She was having a headache worrying about him. After Manik left in the evening, Arjun came after a few minutes. Nandini looked at him with a sad face. “Arjun, I’ve got a bad headache. It’s paining a lot.” “What are you saying, Nandini? Let’s go and see a doctor.” Arjun spoke in a worried tone. Nandini sighed but plastered a fake painful smile on her face. "No, no, I don't need a doctor. I’ll take a little rest and will be fine." Arjun remain

    F L A S H B A C K "You love me, Nandini?" Nandini nodded on his chest and hugged him tighter than before as if she wanted him to understand that she loved him very much. Manik smiled, getting what she meant. "Will you love me a little tonight, jaan?" A shiver ran down through Nandini’s spine hearing the intensity of Manik’s voice. Before she could say anything, he dived his face in her bare neck. She felt she was losing her senses with his closeness. Manik was drunk but she was not. Her whole body danced with strange affection. Her arms went around Manik’s neck automatically and held him tightly. Manik was placing wet mouth kisses on her neck. “Umm… Ahh…. Ma… Manik….” Nandini couldn’t help moaning his name. Manik raised his face from neck and looked at her face. “Don’t make such a loud noise, jaan. Your parents can hear you.” Nandini shyly hid her face in Manik's chest again. He cupped her face with his both hands and pecked on her forehead. Then he joined their foreheads toget

    F L A S H B A C K The night was special for Nandini. Not only because the person she loved confessed his feelings to him but also because he was so close to her that she could feel his every heartbeat, his every breath. She was enjoying the feeling of Manik being in her arms. Manik raised his face after a brief minute of silence. He looked into Nandini’s eyes and smiled. Without wasting a second, he joined his lips with Nandini’s. He was sucking her lips softly. Nandini too responded to the kiss equally. He left her lips after finding her breathless. He kissed her eyes. Then he kissed her cheeks very hard. He traced her ears seductively and removed her earrings. He kissed and nibbled her ears. Nandini closed her eyes tightly clutching his shoulder tightly. The heating sensations sent shivers down their spines. Manik was already drunk and Nandini too lost her senses with Manik’s closeness. His presence was addictive to her and it was enough to make her forget the world. Manik settle

He had fallen asleep for a few minutes in Nandini’s room but woke up with the alarm on his phone. It was still a mystery to him why he had set an alarm at 5 in the morning. His slumber broke with the sound. Manik looked down holding his head but was forced to look up almost immediately hearing Pallavi’s voice. “Are you going to any event today, Nandini? You’re wearing a saree!” Nandini was feeling terribly shy in front of her mother. She wanted to melt at that moment and collapse so that she didn’t have to face anyone. She somehow shook her head in no and mumbled in a low voice. “Umm… No, mom. I just felt like that’s why. There’s no other reason.” She never felt this much shy in her entire life. Her whole body was shaking to c

Nandini never realized that Manik loved her so much. Whenever she thought of last night, she couldn’t help feeling shy. Nandini hugged the pillow close to her chest and fell on bed. But it seemed her bed too smelled like Manik. She lied on the place where Manik was sleeping last night. She again drowned in the memories of last night. After their love making session, Manik was lying with Nandini in his arms. After a while, Manik turned towards her and she was already staring at him as if she was trying to believe all this happened for real.

He glanced at her for once before turning back towards the road. Rudra was driving the car and Zoya was in the passenger seat. They were returning from their workplaces. Though Zoya’s fashion house was opposite to Rudra’s yet he was adamant to pick her up, so she had no other way than giving in to his wish. Zoya was unusually quiet since the time she got into the car. It didn’t go unnoticed by Rudra. At first, he thought it must be work pressure or she was stressed due to work as she was saying a few days back that she got a big order recently and had been really busy since then.

Nandini whispered in a trembling voice. Her eyes didn't leave Manik's even for a moment as if he would vanish if she looked away. Manik looked at Nandini from head to toe once again. His eyes stuck at the mole on her chest. The dark mole could be seen clearly on her white skin. He didn't have the strength to look away. She was the epitome of beauty and he had to accept it once again, seeing her like this. Her appearance was awakening the desires in him, he was having a hard time to keep his hormones in control.

Though Nandini had vacation, Manik was very busy with some projects, so he failed to take out time for her. But he was going to submit the project today, then he would be free. She was alone at home while her parents were out at work, so she gave leave to the butlers as Manik promised her to be back by 1. She didn't want anyone to disturb them when they spent time together after so long. Once the butlers left, Nandini decided to cook the lunch for themselves. She could have asked the butlers to make it before leaving but she wanted to do it. After cleaning her room, she started her work to prepare lunch. Manik entered the house exactly at 1, he found the hall empty. So, he walked upstairs directly. He freshened up and changed into casuals. When he came down again, he heard some sound from

    "Nandini, go and check if Manik will join us for dinner tonight. Your dad won't be home tonight." Mom instructed me while tasting the dish she was making. It's been a few days since we were back from our flat as the week was over and my parents were returning. I don't know why but it hurt a lot when I was stepping out of the flat. The entire week was no less than a dream to me. It was only me and Manik there. The way Manik planned surprises for me, all these felt to be a dream. I felt I was living my dream. I always dreamt of having my own house with Manik and me and our babies. The whole week I couldn't think of anything else which made me want to live there forever. I didn't have the heart to return but I didn't have any other options. Maybe I became greedy after spending so much time with Manik in the last few days. Because I didn't like staying away from Manik anymore, I only felt like running to him and being in his arms. In short, I wanted to be around him the way I was but it
