Nandini was scared for a moment but her hold tightened around him. She clutched her shirt more tightly and hid her face in his chest, making Manik’s heart skip a beat. Her lips were just above his heart and he could feel the warmth of her lips even over his shirt.
Manik closed his eyes and inhaled a long breath. He needed to calm his increasing heart beats. He couldn’t lose himself in her once again. He was here for something else and he needed to leave as soon as possible.
Getting frustrated with herself, Nandini sobbed again, hiding her face in Manik’s chest. She fisted his shirt tightly. Her sobs made her warm breaths fan on Manik’s chest. Her soft lips were pressed on his chest as she nuzzled in his chest while crying, making him close his eyes. He softly car

F L A S H B A C K“God! Nandini!” Kabir screamed and ran towards his daughter. He sat beside her and took her head in his lap. He shook her and rubbed her palms to wake her up but she didn’t respond.The bag fell from Manik’s hand. It took him some time to register what was happening. He came back to his senses hearing the noises. He immediately ran near them, forgetting everything else.“Uncle, call the doctor. I’m taking her to her room.”Manik didn’t wait anymore and picked Nandini up in his arms and ran towards her room. He placed her carefully on the bed and he sat beside the bed on the floor on his knees. He took her one palm in between his and rubbed it. His face was clear

F L A S H B A C K NEXT DAY It was almost past 12 in the morning and Manik hadn't seen Nandini even once since last night. Zoya and Rudra were getting engaged the next day, so he thought Nandini might have gone there. But it couldn’t stop him from checking his phone from time to time, hoping she might call or text him like other days. “What happened to her today? Did she take my words seriously last night? She didn’t send a single text yet. What shall I do now? I think last night I went a little overboard. I should control my anger and make people understand things calmly. For now, let me call Zoya and ask about her. I just hope Nandini is doing fine.” Manik thought to himself and dialed Zoya’s number. She picked up the call after a few rings. “Hello, Manik.” “Hi… Hi, Zoya.” He didn’t think twice before calling Zoya but now he was feeling nervous to ask her about Nandini. “Manik, are you there?” Zoya asked not hearing anything from the other side for a long time. “Yeah, I’m

FROM THIS CHAPTER THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS..... “Hey, hunnies! Are you two home?” I heard mom’s voice as she returned home from work. “We’re in the kitchen, mom.” I replied, making Manik move away from me as he was hugging me from behind. As soon as Manik moved away from me, mom entered the kitchen with a bright smile on her face. “Good evening, aunty.” Manik greeted her with an awkward smile. I wanted to smile looking at his face but stopped myself. “Mom, do you want some coffee?” “I won’t mind. By the way, why are you making it? Where are the butlers?” Mom asked the most obvious questions. “Actually, mom, I gave them an off today. We were not at home, they also didn’t have much to do. They need a break too.” I put on the most innocent smile possible. Mom melted seeing my smile. She didn’t say anything more. By then the coffee was ready. I handed over a mug to mom and the other one to Manik. I didn’t need one for myself as Manik was here to share with me. “Listen, kids, I
An Illicit Affair 44. A Warm Morning
NEXT MORNINGI stirred as the morning sun rays hit my face. I tried hiding my face in my pillow and going back to my peaceful slumber. But I found it becoming harder and harder to do. I was feeling unusually cold as the breeze passed through me.I felt I was sleeping without a blanket, to be more precise naked and that's when it hit me. Last night flashed behind my closed eyes and the smile curved in the corner of my lips like always.My hand began reaching the other side of my bed in order to spot Manik so that I could get into his arms and grab some more sleep which seemed almost impossible without him. I frowned before opening my eyes because my hand didn’t touch any skin or abs which means the place beside me was empty.

Days were passing and not to much surprise, Manik had been sneaking into my room almost every night and then sneaking back to his room at around 4am. It might sound odd but in these years we never slept in Manik’s room even once. It was Friday and currently I was getting ready for my date with Manik. I was still unsure if I could call it a date or not. Manik had surely asked me out but he told my parents that he was going to some get together and asked me to come along. My parents never had any issues with me going with Manik. “Ready to go, jaan?” Manik asked as he walked over to me, seeing me walking downstairs. But his voice was low enough for only me to hear. I simply nodded my head in reply. “By the way, you’re looking breathtaking, I can’t take my eyes off you already. Don’t blame me, if we meet an accident today.” Though his words made me blush but I hid that and threw a glare towards him. “Shut up! You’re forgetting mom and dad are here only.” Manik made a face and moved a

I stirred a little in my sleep as light started to flash on my face. Urghh… It was morning again. I tried to move and hide my face in my pillow so that I could grab some more sleep, I felt an arm tightly wrapped around my waist. It was firm but didn’t hurt me. I didn’t have to think much to figure out that it was Manik. It was rare when I found him on my bed after waking up. A smile appeared on my face and I moved closer to him. I opened my eyes and stared at Manik’s face for a while. He looked more handsome while sleeping. I couldn’t stop the urge to peck on the mole above his lip. This mole of him was damn tempting. Only I knew how I controlled myself all the time to kiss it. It was not only sexy but a huge turn on too. Every single thing about this guy was tempting……. I was busy checking Manik out when the realization hit me that Manik was still in bed with me and it wasn't a sight that I wanted mom or dad to find out. At least, not till the time, Manik and I were ready to rev

Next morning when Nandini woke up, she had expected to find Manik beside her as her parents were not home. But like other usual days, she found the place beside her empty. She looked around the room and concluded that he was gone. She felt a little sad, thinking he could be here at least today.Nandini was about to get down from the bed when a gift caught her attention. It was placed on the side where Manik slept. A greeting card was there as well. Nandini couldn’t hold her curiosity and picked it up. At first, she opened the card and read it.“Good morning, my jaan.You’ve one complaint from me that I never took you out on a date and proposed to you. Though I was never fond of doing all these, thinking my gestures are enough for you to know my love for you. But later I realized it is import

Manik kept Nandini’s phone in her pocket and waited for Nandini to order. Once the waiter left, he looked at Nandini. He knew Nandini wanted to say something to him.“What is it, Nandini?”When Manik asked this, Nandini was not much surprised. She knew Manik would realize that she wanted to ask something."I know this flat was your birthday gift to me. But... Um... Can I ask something else too?"Manik held Nandini's hand that was on the table and caressed it lovingly. "You never have to hesitate to ask anything from me. Just say it. I can't get the moon or stars for you. But if it is in my reach, I'll try my best."Nandini smiled. She tightened the grip on his hand

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
