A new morning,

Nandini woke up first and saw Manik asleep. She slowly got up and moved out from his hold, smiled seeing him and went to get ready for office. She got ready without making any sound that could disturb his sleep and went downstairs to meet her dotting in-laws.

Manik woke up after sometime and checked his mobile to see Nandini's message 'Good Morning My Dear Husband...Didn't have heart to wake you up when you are sleeping like a baby that you are...I have started to office and as I promised I'll take care of myself and our little one...Love you...'

He smiled seeing her message and kissed on his wallpaper which is her picture and got ready. He went downstairs only to be greeted by his mother at the dining table waiting for him.

"Good morning Mom..." He said while side hugging her and she replied with a bright smile. She served him his breakfast and he asked "Did Dad leave...??"

"Yeah...He said he ll drop Nandu and then will go to office..." She replied and then continued "And yeah...Nandu had her proper breakfast and juice...and I have given her dry fruits in a box to have after sometime and a box of fruits that she can eat after 2 hours....and finally I will send her lunch on time...You don't need to worry..." She said and he smiled to his fullest and kissed her cheek saying "I love you Mom..."

"Love you too meri Jaan..." She said kissing him back on his cheek and said "I will send lunch for you and Raj as well..."

"Okay Mom..." He said and finished his breakfast and rushed out to office.

He reached his cabin and called Nandini and she picked it in the first ring itself.

"Manik" She said with a smile and he smiled hearing her.

"Reached office...??" She asked.

"Yeah...Just now...and what about you...?? Much work...??" He asked while opening his laptop.

"Ummm...No actually...I'm just checking my mails...I don't think I have much work today..." She said and he sighed saying "Great...Don't stress yourself and eat on time..."

"Yeah" She said and just then her team member asked her about some document.

"Manik...Suniye...I will call you later..." She said and he too replied "Ok...Take care..."

Though he was staring at his laptop screen and he has got work to do, his mind wandered around her thoughts thinking about her safety. He tried to concentrate on his work by telling himself that she will be fine and she will take care but he couldn't chuck out the thoughts.

If he has the power to keep her in front of his eyes all the time, he would watch her without blinking his eyes. But he knew, he cannot do that and must give her, her own time and chance to do things.

An hour passed in her thoughts and he called her again.

"Yeah Manik" She said while doing her work.

"Dry fruits...??" He asked and she smiled saying "I'm actually munching on them while working..."

"Cool..." He said and cut the call.

After an hour, he called her again and asked about fruits and she replied she was about to have it.

Few moments later, he called her again and she said she was going to collect her lunch from driver who was sent by her mother-in-law.

Ayaan and Nandini had their lunch and Manik and Raj too. Raj observed that Manik was so lost but didn't give much attention to it.

At one moment, Manik became restless and kept texting her every now and then and called for every 15minutes and asked only one question "Is everything okay...??"
