Nandini was sitting in her room still in the illusion of last night. Yesterday night was no less than a dream to her. Her heart was drenched in Manik’s love last night. 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 pulled her a little more into himself and kissed her once again.“I was dying without you, jaan. I need you close to me like this everyday.” Manik mumbled over her lips.F L A S H B A C K “Rudra, are you really serious about me?” Zoya asked the question out of blue. Rudra turned towards her with a frown suddenly appearing on his forehead. 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. But he was expecting this sudden question from her. “Are you doubting me, Zoya?” He tried not to lose his cool without knowing the whole ma
F L A S H B A C KNandini opened her eyes with a different sort of bright smile playing on her lips today. The sorrow that used to cover her eyes was gone. The smile on her face only grew wider when she remembered Manik and her moment from last night. Though it still felt to be a dream to her but it was the reality.The beautiful reality of her life......Nandini stepped out of her bed and rubbed her eyes softly. She stretched her arms as wide as she could until she felt finally awake."A very good morning to you, Nandini. The new phase of your life is starting today." She wished her own self as she couldn't wait to start the day with Manik.She hurriedly to
F L A S H B A C KManik was leaving the house with his car key. He stopped seeing Nandini standing leaning her back to his car. He frowned a little seeing her there.“Why are you standing here, Nandini?”“I was waiting for you. You’ll drop me today.” Nandini replied with a sweet smile.“Why? Where is your car?” Manik raised his eyebrows looking at her.“It’s right here but you’re my boyfriend, so it’s your duty to drop me at college and pick me up.” She muttered in a matter of fact tone. “I’m not asking you to do it every
F L A S H B A C KThe plane was in the sky for approximately 3 hours. Nandini was sleeping throughout the flight. They bought business class tickets, of course. Manik was beside Nandini while her parents were behind them. Nandini was sleeping and Manik stared at her face the whole time.She looked serene while sleeping…..Arriving at Florida airport, Manik and Kabir got their luggage out. Nandini was about to take her luggage from Manik but he held it tighter and gestured her to walk. Nandini sighed and walked ahead with her mother while Kabir and Manik followed them.Outside the airport, Manik’s caretaker was waiting for them. "Welcome, sir. Welcome, mam." Then he
F L A S H B A C K Manik didn’t notice Nandini. He threw his towel on the bed and opened his cupboard to take out his shirt. “I’ve taken out your shirt. It’s on the bed.” Manik turned back with a jerk. He saw Nandini standing a few feet away from him with his coffee. He didn’t know why but a smile appeared on his face. Nandini handed the mug to Manik. “I’m sorry I woke up late today. I should have woken up earlier and gave you company. You must be getting bored.” Nandini smiled softly. “I can never get bored with you around me.” She took a step closer to Manik a
F L A S H B A C K"Just shut the fuck up, nymphomaniac! Did anyone ever teach you manners or the etiquette to talk to the other person?""What did you just call me? Just tell me once who the fuck you are, then you will see what I can do to you.""I'm... I'm Manik's...." Nandini looked at Manik’s face who was already staring at her. She cleared her throat. She was having mixed feelings to claim herself as Manik’s fiance in front of some unknown girl though she wouldn’t mind claiming in front of the whole world as well. “I’m Manik’s fiance. If I ever see you calling him again, you can’t imagine what I can do to you. I’m really dangerous. Keep that in your mind. Get a life and stay fucking thousand miles away from Manik.”
F L A S H B A C KManik was the first one to wake up the next morning, it would be more precise if we say he didn’t sleep at all the entire night. When he returned to his own room after the kiss, he failed to think anything normal. Nandini’s thoughts didn’t leave his mind even for a second that caused him a sleepless night, not that he was regretting it.The first thing he did was to call a doctor for Nandini. He arranged for a doctor even before Kabir and Pallavi woke up.The caretaker was observing Manik’s restlessness, his care, his concern, his act towards Nandini since last night. He was a wise man and he had been seeing Manik since he was a kid. So, it didn’t take him much effort to guess that Manik was not concerned for Nandini only because she was his ‘si
F L A S H B A C K Nandini was adamant not to stay here anymore. Kabir couldn’t deny her seeing her state. He thought of booking the flight for the next day but Nandini was acting damn stubborn. “I want to leave right now. I’m not liking it here anymore. It’s suffocating me.” After hearing Nandini’s words, Kabir booked the immediate flight. Unfortunately only two tickets were available. So, he asked Pallavi to return with Nandini and he would be back after two days after completing the work. Manik was not home. He went out saying he had some urgent work and his phone was unreachable too. So, Nandini and Pallavi had to leave without informing him. “Manik is not home. I couldn’t even tell him in hurry that we’re leaving. He was really worried for Nandini. Ask him not to worry much and explain to him properly why we’re leaving like this.” Pallavi spoke to Kabir during the drive to the air
“Nandini….” A very familiar voice hit her ears, making her smile.Nandini turned behind only to see Manik waving at her from the other side of the road. She too waved back at him with a bright smile.She was waiting for Manik to pick her up after work. She was working as a full time model now. Mainly Nandini worked for Zoya’s fashion house and other renowned fashion houses.Soon Manik came to Nandini’s side as the signal turned green. He ran near her and took her in a hug.“Did I make you wait too long?” He asked while breaking the hug and an apologetic smile on his face.
The next few days passed in a jiffy and the events happened very quickly. Kabir fixed Nandini’s marriage with Arjun. He didn’t have to put much effort in this. Dua and Arjun were very much eager for the alliance, so as soon as Kabir and Pallavi asked for their opinion, they agreed immediately.That day Kabir caught Nandini with Manik. He saw them hugging each other. Looking at them, it didn’t take him much time to realize they had a deeper relationship than what he knew till now. He got to know what Pallavi was trying to keep away from him.Kabir didn’t say anything to Manik but slapped Nandini. It was the first time he raised hand on his beloved daughter. He slapped her so hard that it left a scar on her cheek. At first, both of them were startled but once they got back to reality, they tried to m
A month passed…..It’s been a month already since that dreadful day, dreadful night more precisely. It says right time waits for none because after Manik left that day, nothing stopped. Everything was going on according to their own flow as if he never existed there in that house. Only Nandini was soaking in his absence. She lost count of the time, she went to Manik’s room with a hope that maybe he would be there only, all this was a dream. But it was the saddest reality of her life that she couldn’t escape.It was Rudra and Zoya’s wedding today. They didn’t plan to get married so soon but Zoya's stomach ache had worsened that's why the wedding had to be preponed. Everything was happening in a hurry.Kabir was still unsure abo
The night passed and the morning sun had started to shine. A lot of things have changed along with the end of the night.Pallavi was trying to calm her mind and raging heart. She was sitting in front of the God's idol of their home as if she was seeking some help. Her mind was completely restless. She didn't know what to do to relax herself. After a long while, it seemed almost impossible for her to sit there anymore. Her head was pounding so was her heart. She felt the inner side of her head was tearing apart due to stress and pain.She might have felt better if she could grab some sleep but that was not possible at that moment. She had something more important to take care of which couldn't wait. Pallavi couldn't take it off her mind until she found a way out or did something to solve the issue.
Nandini was feeling extremely shy to come in front of Manik like this but she was not ready to deprive herself from getting this happiness. She stood in front of him silently, eagerly waiting to hear Manik's reaction. After a while, she heard his hoarse voice. "What have you done, jaan." "Don't I look good?" 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. "I feel like eating you raw. I didn't want this, Nandini. You're making it different for me. What shall I do?" He gritted his teeth, trying to hold himself back. Nandin
The day started like other usual days but it had something unusual in store for the too much in love couple.It was one of the lazy weekends. Manik was watching TV, sitting in the hall. Nandini walked down and saw Manik there, making her smile ear to ear. She walked near him and sat on the couch next to him. Manik showed eyes to her, gesturing to her to keep her actions in control. Nandini smiled sweetly at him.Before Nandini could react, Kabir came there as well and sat on the couch opposite Manik and Nandini. He called a butler and asked him to give cold water. Pallavi followed him and sat beside Kabir."You returned home so early? Didn't you say you've to attend some important meeting?"Kabir let out a sigh.
Nandini was making their dinner. She liked to cook for themselves when she and Manik were alone. Also she gave a leave to the butlers after evening. So, she was alone at home, waiting for Manik to return. She was almost done with her work. As soon as she turned off the flame, the doorbell rang. While wiping her hands, she knew it was Manik as it was already the time of his arrival. Nandini went to open the door with a bright smile. Though Manik was dead tired still he smiled, seeing her. He couldn't deny, he felt better seeing her smiling face. "Good evening, baby." Manik walked inside after pecking on Nandini's forehead. He was stunned to see her in the night dress. "Good evening. How was your day?" Nandini went behind Manik after closing the door. "Tiring." "You go and freshen up. I'll set the table till then." "Have you given leave to the butlers again?" Manik asked in disbelief. Nandini nodded her head positively. "Nandini, you can't give them an off every other day. I'm s
Days were passing in a flow, so was Manik and Nandini's relationship. They were happy in their own little world. It was like other usual days. Nandini's college was closed due to winter vacation. 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
