Next morning, they almost woke up at the same time and smiled looking at each other. She slowly parted herself from his hold and he said with a smile "Good morning Nandu"

Waking up next to him might be a dream for millions of his fans but Nandini never dreamed out of the box, like she said and when it is actually becoming true even without dreaming, her heart did a somersault and the butterflies never left her stomach.

Though it's been few times to see his morning face, she still needs time to get used to it without shivering to his husky voice.

She gulped to her thoughts and said "Good morning"

He ruffled his hair only to make it messier than it already is and her breath hitched to the sight. He stretched his well-built arms and cracked his knuckles in the process while yawning and she couldn't blink her eyes even for a fraction of second.

He turned towards her who was staring at him intently, making him blush automatically, smiled and winked at her to bring her back to the world.

She bent her head down and blushed before leaving to freshen up. He chuckled seeing her reaction but at the same time wondered if a girl can admire a boy to this extent.

All he read and saw was a boy admiring his girl and at last he believed that even girls do admire but will not show it out. But Nandini is different, at least for him she is different.

Breaking his train of thoughts, she came back after having a bath and changed in to casuals and he headed towards the restroom. He bent backwards to have a look at her and she was correcting the bed sheets and took the comforter to fold. He smiled seeing her work casually in his bedroom, may be their bedroom from now on.

By the time he came out, she just entered the room with his morning lemon tea.

Her heart which wasn't prepared to the sight, skipped a beat seeing him just in towel around his waist while he was ruffling his wet hairs.

She shamelessly gaped at him with wide eyes and he cleared his throat with a teasing smile. She looked here and there, took small and fast breaths and turned to the other side.

He, though blushed, came to her and stood behind her back and forwarded his hand to take the cup from her hands and whispered "Get habituated to see me like this..."

She saw him through the corner of her eyes with raised heartbeat and he moved away sipping his lemon tea. He smirked seeing her fidget with her fingers, still in the same position. He put on a vest and took out a track pant while finishing his part of lemon tea.

"Nandu..." He called out and she slowly turned to see him forwarding the cup but didn't dare to look at his face.

"I'm dressed..." He said with a chuckle and she bit her lower lip with a smile and took the cup.

He went to the balcony and she followed him sipping the remaining tea from his cup.

They sat in silence till she stood to leave but stopped by him.

"Where...??" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"We didn't even have breakfast...Let's have lunch early..." She said and he pulled her back to her place.

"As much as I don't want to waste time in cooking, I love your hand made food..." He said and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles making her blush.

"You can help me in the kitchen..." She said slowly and he smiled following her.

They entered the kitchen and Nandini took the vegetables to chop them.

"What's cooking...??" Manik asked playing with an onion from his one hand to other.

She smiled and took it from him and placed a carrot in his hand and said "Vegetable pulao and some raita..."

"Nice..." He said making an impressive expression while she started chopping. He munched on the carrot seeing her while she tried her best to concentrate on her work.

He smiled finishing the carrot and took the amount of rice that's needed and washed it thrice and poured water into it to soak.

She smiled and switched on the stove to saute the veggies with spices and then he added the rice along with water and closed the lid.

They came out and sat on the couch and were lost in their own thoughts till the cooker whistled.

Nandini counted the whistles and went to switch off the stove and prepared the raita. She moved the rice into a bowl and set the table before he came to the dining table.

They spoke about random topics about his album shoot, it's location, concept and music and then moved about his next week's travel.

"So...What shall we do...??" He asked and both thought for a while.

"Movie...??" He asked and she nodded happily.

"Suggest a movie then..." He said sitting beside her. She opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself. He shook his head with a smile and held her hands before saying "Go on..."

She gulped and said "I want to watch your movie with you..."

"That's it..." He said and went near the cupboard to connect the movie while she sat clueless.

"I have taken a print from the producer as it's my first movie..." He said playing the movie and settled beside her.

Her eyes shone in pride every time she saw him on the screen and he was happiest seeing that shine in her eyes.

Unable to resist, he pulled her towards him and she smiled placing her head on his chest and continued watching the movie.

By the end of first half, Manik simply laid on her lap and she happily brushed his hairs softly, watching the movie as if watching for the first time.
