A smile that touches the heart

Chapter 16

It was after two days Manik was waiting for Nandini outside the airport even after Nandini saying him not to pick her up.

Nandini came outside and picked her phone to call a cab but as she switched on her phone she got a message from Manik.

Manik: Turn to your left.

Nandini looked around to see Manik waving at her from her left which brought a big smile on her face.

She went and jumped on him for a hug.

Nandini: I missed you.

Manik: I missed you too smile.

Both of them broke off and took a step back.

Nandini: But what are you doing here? I told you I will get a cab.

Manik: I just wanted to see you the first thing.

Nandini: What about the paps?

Manik: I got my Mom's car so it's safe.

Nandini: Mani it's too much.

Manik: It's never too much now shh and get in the car.

Manik loaded her luggage and then started driving to her Mansion. He entwined their hands and kept on her thigh making her shy away.

Nandini: So how is your work going?

Manik: As usual I am busy with shooting and thankfully it's here in Mumbai.

Nandini: That's good Mani and I also want to watch your new movie I have heard it's amazing reviews.

Manik: Yeah we can see it together actually when you will come home for lunch tomorrow we can watch it there in home theatre.

Manik: Ohh he is been happy that I am bringing you home who I have been crazily talking about all these years.
