She was about to switch the flashlight on just then someone pulled her and a scream left her mouth only get muffled when a palm pressed against her lips..

She was horrified..

She wriggled her eyes widening at the sudden attack from the back "Happy Birthday Mrs. Malhotra" she froze at the voice and her heartbeat took a jet speed..

Manik?

Her Manik?

Mrs. Malhotra he called her with that name..

Withdrawing his hand he moved back switching the lights on while she left flabbergasted seeing the decorations in the living room..

Something she never expected yet she always wanted..

"Look Nandini I --" she didn't let him complete his sentence and pecked his lips "Do.. Don't just don't say anything please" she held his both palms brought it closer to her lips pecking it softly as she breathed..She didn't want him to say anything and destroy the moment because she was scared it felt so surreal so calm still scary "If it's a dream then I don't want to wakeup ever again" she whispered her eyes welling up in tears..

"It's not a dream Nandini" she felt him pressing a kiss against her hair and she looked up staring into his eyes, those eyes weren't dark, hollow or cold tonight it was filled with love care and peace..

"Let's just cut the cake first then we will talk" she nodded and ran to wash her hands then came back.. Her heart was fluttering with butterflies doing salsa in her stomach , After her worst day she finally felt some much needed peace..

"Where is Ayan?" She asked when he handed her the knife "He is with Sid and Tanisha" Manik said.. "Now make a wish and cut the cake"

"I don't need anything else Manik" she whispered and blew the candles while he sang the happy birthday song making her giggle as she cut the cake..

She fed him and he fed her back "The cake is so tasty" she licked her lips making him smile.. "I baked it" he answered raising his hand to wiped the cream from her corner lips..

Smiling she creeped closer to him wrapping her arms around him and rested her ear just above his heart. His heartbeat was a music to her ears..

Her phone rang flashing her parents name.."You need to clear everything Manik" saying she picked the call..

He stared at his wife who was sleeping soundly.. Aryaman recalled their argument, fight which lead to an angry sex. They still need to talk and clear everything.

His fingers tucked her hair strands behind her ear as he gazed at her, he so wanted to wake her up and wished her happy birthday he even prepared pizza for her instead of cake knowing how much she loved pizza..

His mind drifted into the last year when they were probably the enemies, he remembered how he wished her last year and even by mistakenly broke her new phone thou he brought new phone for her that day only..

Her parents had called her to wish her happy birthday and Aryaman told them that she was sleeping..

Aryaman had called his bestfriend Nandini and wished her happy birthday an hour back and now he was just doing his favourite job gazing at his wife..

"Stop staring at me like a creep" and this brought him back to the reality.

Sucking her bottom lips softly he pulled back and stared at her his fingers busied tracing her waist "Happy Birthday Naina" He wished pressing his lips against her forehead..
