Living Together

"So...Want to use a new flavor...??" Manik asked showing the protection box once he hopped on to the bed making her blush. She gulped thinking about her sore muscles but has no heart to deny him.

She faked a smile and nodded for him and Manik understood her turmoil.

"Shall we...??" He asked again and she nodded slightly. He sighed and threw the box into the drawer and pulled her towards him and said "Learn to say 'No' sometimes...It's completely fine to say your opinion and act according to your mood...okay...??"

She looked at him with a happy smile and replied "I can never deny you..."

"But you have to...When you are not in a mood or whatever it is, just say 'No' and nothing to explain...Not only here, at any situations...Feel free to say no and do only if your heart says it..." Manik said and kissed on top of her head.

They cuddled to sleep being tired of the day.

Next morning, Manik woke up to see Nandini trying to choose her dress for the day, making him smile. He pushed the blanket and walked towards her while she stood thinking.

"Go with the green one..." He said and pecked on her cheek before going to refresh.

She smiled taking out the dark green kurti with cream colored palazzo and got ready by the time Manik came out.

"Beautiful..." He whispered in her ears before taking her lips for his morning kiss.

"How did you choose so perfectly...??" She asked looking at him with a blush, still in his arms.

He chuckled and replied "Simple...Yesterday you wore a pastel color...I prefer dark colors the next day...Eyes caught this green when searched for dark ones...So yeah..."

"Ohhhh" She said and giggled and pecked on his lips before moving out of the room to prepare breakfast. She prepared toast and omelettes and soon Manik joined. She handed him his lemon tea while munching on her toast.

"Come...I'll drop you and leave..." He said taking his shoes to wear.

"That's ok...I have checked the bus route...I'll manage..." She replied taking her bag.

He smiled and said "Nandu...I won't be there to drop you every day...And even if I'm there, I might not be able to drop you sometimes...So whenever I can, let me do it...Come..."

She smiled and got into the car and he drove to her office. He dropped her and left for his work.

His day went boring listening to few stories which he didn't wish to sign and he was listening to the sixth one by the end of the day while hers was productive than always. She finished her assignment that needs to be presented and waited for his message.

'Will be late. Go home safe.' His message read and she sighed walking out of the office. She took the bus, plugged in her earphones and reached home and informed him that she has reached. She got freshen up and sat with her books, trying to grab some excess knowledge for her project.

She wrote the key points that were needed for designing next project and by the time she finished, it was 12:30AM.

"Oh my god" She took her mobile and dropped a text to Manik as he hasn't reached. She waited for his reply but he didn't see the message. She waited for some more time but her anxiety kicked in and dialed his number. He didn't answer for 2 times and cut the call for 3rd time being too involved in story discussion. He passed his mobile to Cabir who has come in the evening after his work and stayed back. Cabir looked at her messages and went aside to call her.

"Little one..." Cabir said once she answered the call.

"Bhai...Huh...Is he with you...?? He is fine right...??" She asked.

"Yeah yeah he is absolutely fine...Busy with a story discussion..." Cabir said.

"It's too late bhai...When will you guys come...??" She asked checking the time which is near to 1AM.

"Might get late...You just eat and sleep...Lock the door properly..." Cabir replied.

"Aur late...!!??" She asked with a frown.

"Yeah...Hero sir has signed 2 movies already and seems like he is going to sign the third one now...Too much engrossed in the story..." Cabir said looking at Manik who was deeply listening to the director.

She smiled proudly and said "Okay bhai...And did you guys eat anything...??"

"yeah yeah...You...??" He asked and she said "No...Was working...Didn't check time...Will prepare something..."

"Ok then...Eat and sleep...We will try to start soon..." He said and cut the call.

She went to the kitchen and was in no mood to cook at that time. She gulped down some water and went to bed with her book.

2:15AM, Manik slowly entered their home, removed his shoes, went to the kitchen and understood that she hasn't cooked and wasn't sure whether she ate anything. He tiptoed into their room only to see Nandini sleeping with the book in her hand. He smiled seeing her and took his track pants and went to freshen up.

He came out wiping his face with the towel and was startled hearing her sleepy voice "Aap aa gaye..."

"Hey...Sleep my love..." He said and took the book from her hands.

"Sorry...was waiting for you but didn't know when I slept..." She said getting up but he said "That's ok...Did you eat...??"

She nodded in a no to which he glared. He shook his head in disbelief and threw the towel at her face. Before she could shriek, he moved out of the room to kitchen and stirred some noodles in 5 minutes. He turned back to see her standing at the entrance of the kitchen, wearing his T-shirt alone that came near her mid-thighs.

"You know...this is an instant turn on..." He said looking at her from top to bottom making her blush. He chuckled and transferred noodles into a bowl and passed it to her. She blew on it and forwarded it to him but he nodded in a no saying "Diet"

She huffed and ate silently while he sipped on to his lemon tea and said "Nandu...Just don't wait from next time when I say that I'll be late..."

She finished her last bite and stood up from her chair and said with a smile "Just wanted you to know...that there's a soul waiting for you at home...Perks of living together..."

She ruffled the back of his hairs softly and kissed on his forehead before going to kitchen while he sat with a bright smile.

True, he always wanted a person to wait for him, to listen how his day went, to suggest when the person is down, to cheer at each other's success and he got everything at a time without even asking for it, with HER.
