MaNan FF: ESCAPISM

Chapter 2

Nandini was on the phone when she found arms snaked around her. She startled but soon relaxes knowing this familiar touch. Manik was back hugging her and he put his head on the crook of her neck. She ended the call and put her hand on Manik's cheek stroking it softly.

Nandini- What happened Mani? why are you showering so much love huhh?

Manik- hadhh haii Now I can't even hug my star? I was missing you badly.

Meanwhile he nuzzled on her neck making her knees go weak.

Nandini- Leave me naa... we are still in the parking lot. Someone might see us and click our picture. Then you will be in the headline: The lead singer of Fab5, Mr Manik Malhotra was caught romancing with a girl after winning the Talent Hunt. Then don't come to me complaining that people call you Majnu Malhotra.

Manik-Come what may Nandini.. do you really think I care about anyone? I missed you like hell  my shining star. Thanks for always being by my side.

Nandini- Maniiii leave me and let's go.

Manik left her,twirled her around and gave her a bone crushing hug. After some while, both went to Malhotra Mansion.

At home:

Manik was looking at Nandini who was sleeping soundly on the lap of Manik. He stroked her hair and kissed his forehead. soon, he put a blanket over her and went in the balcony for stargazing.

Manik(to himself)- Nandini ke Aiyapaa thank you for bringing this small bundle of happiness in my life. She turned me from a monster to her Manik. She is younger than me yet way more mature and understanding. I love her so much.

with that he went to the bed, laid next to her and soon drifted in a peaceful sleep

4 a.m in the morning:

Nandini woke up and saw Manik sleeping with his mouth slightly open. She took his phone and took a selfie with sleeping Mani. She freshened up and went in the kitchen. Around 6 a.m, she left the house to change her clothes at her place before college.

8 a.m:

Manik woke up and frown upon seeing an empty bed. He sat and rubbed his eyes in an attempt to shoo away his sleep. He looked for Nandini and his eyes landed  on the pink note stick to the mirror of his dressing table. He smiled widely and  shook his head in disbelief. He got up and grabbed the note:

Manik re read the note and smiled like crazy. He grabbed his phone and look at that selfie. Unknowingly he kissed the photo and went to freshen up.
