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
NEXT MORNING Nandini was the first one to wake up. Opening her eyes, she found herself in Manik’s embrace. Manik was sleeping, holding her securely in his embrace. A smile appeared on her face. She couldn’t help caressing his hair and pecking on his nose. She admired his sleeping face for a while, finally moving out of his hold. She didn’t wake Manik up, thinking he was damn tired last night. So, she let him sleep and she went to freshen up. Coming out of the washroom, Nandini walked towards the kitchen and kept the milk boiling at a slow flame. Then she returned to their room and found Manik still in deep slumber. She came beside him and shook him slowly. “Mani… Mani… Wake up. Mani… We’ve so many things to do…. Mani… Get up….” Manik groaned and turned his face to the other side. “Tch, Nandini! Let me sleep.” “No! I don’t want to hear anything. Get up.” She pulled the duvet off hi
“Who is it, Manik?” Nandini asked when she saw him coming back. “I don’t know. A lady has come and she is saying Mrs. Malhotra called her. Did you call anyone?” Manik asked. Nandini frowned and kept the iron at one side. Suddenly she remembered something. “Oh, yes! I called for a househelp. We can’t manage everything alone after you join your office and I have to go to college as well. It slipped out of my mind.” Saying so, she headed out of the room to talk to the woman. She came to the hall, opened the door and saw the lady who was waiting for her. Seeing Nandini, the lady smiled and wished her. Nandini too wished her back. “Are you here for househelp?” Nandini asked politely. The lady nodded her head. “Yes. I was informed that you need a househelp but not regularly.” “Yeah! Actually, we won’t live here permanently, that's why we can’t keep someone for all the time. I’ll let you know whenever we stay here, you need to come then.” “No problem, Mrs. Malhotra. What’s my work?
NEXT MORNINGNandini’s slumber broke, hearing the doorbell ringing. She looked at her side where Manik was sleeping, hiding his face in the pillow. Nandini hurriedly got up and freshened up before wearing her nightdress. While descending down the stairs she realized it's the house help that they had appointed yesterday. She was confused at the beginning.She opened the door for the lady and let her in.“Here’s the stuff you need for cleaning and start from the hall.” Nandini showed her the essential things of house cleaning.“Okay, mam.” She was about to leave but Nandini stopped her.“What&rsqu
The next day Manik woke up with Nandini's constant call. He wasn't in a mood to get up but he had to. When he was about to hold her, she simply got down from the bed and started her work. He too followed her and hugged her from behind, interrupting her work intentionally. "Manik, what are you doing?" "I'm doing my work." "No, you're irritating me. Go, please." Manik made a fake shocked face. "When did I irritate you? You do your work, I'm doing mine." They had a fun banter for a while on this topic before Nandini finally managed to send Manik to take a shower. By then Saira had arrived as well. Nandini opened the door for her and she went to prepare breakfast for them. She sent Saira to clean the terrace and made herself busy in breakfast preparations. Soon she heard Manik's voice, calling her. "Nandini..... Nandini....." She was confused with the way he was calling her. She turned off the gas and ran towards their room. "What happ....." Nandini couldn't complete her words as
Nandini got ready in the dress Manik kept for her and went to the terrace as the way led there only. She roamed her eyes around the room to see it was decorated with rose petals and candles with a round table placed at the center. Soft music was being played in the background. It felt more chilled than usual. Soon her eyes stuck on the handsome face who was standing with his back facing her. He was waiting for her, looking terribly hot in that tuxedo. Reducing the distance she stood exactly behind him and before she could say anything her eyes fell where his gaze was fixed. Manik’s eyes were fixed to the sky. He was staring at the stars which were glowing in utter darkness. She sneaked her hands around his waist and placed her head over his broad back. “I love you.” Nandini whispered. Manik smiled brightly and slowly turned to look at her. Seeing the shine in her eyes, Manik was happy. Nandini wrapped her hands around his nape. Manik locked his hands around her back. “I love you t
“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
