59. Perfect

"Hey...I'm home..." Manik chirped once he entered their room and saw Nandini studying and scribbling notes. She passed a smile while he pecked on side of her head before going to freshen up.

"Had dinner...??" He asked once he came out and she hmmed in response while chewing her pen. He tapped on her head making her pout and removed the pen from her mouth. She giggled sheepishly and he brought a pillow to place at her back.

She looked above and smiled while he kissed her forehead and pressed her shoulders for a minute making her relax and concentrate again.

"I'll just be back..." He said and she nodded her head while reading.

He came back with a cup of hot chocolate and placed it beside her while she looked at him with twinkling eyes. He ruffled her hairs and kissed on her cheek and said "Finish your work..."

She nodded her head and took the cup in her hands and closed her eyes taking a sip of hot chocolate and her mind relaxed instantly. He smiled looking at her expression and sat resting his back to the bedpost and scrolled through social media.

She quickly finished reading and looked at him who was engrossed in his mobile and moved towards him with her cup with the leftover hot chocolate. He looked at her coming towards him and he moved aside to give her place to sit but she adjusted herself in between his legs and laid her head on his chest making him smile.

He encircled his hands around her waist as she sipped on to her hot chocolate and looked up at him with a milk mustache. He chuckled before licking it clean and pecked on her lips and said "It's actually nice..."

"What...??" She asked.

"Hot chocolate..." He said with a wink and they giggled.

"I love you..." She said after a brief silence and he took a deep breath with a smile and said "uhummm"

It's always like the first time whenever she says it to him.

"You know...you are the best...Though you know my schedule and I will never say no to you, you didn't take advantage of that...but respected me and asked my permission if I'm okay with coming along with you...and that's why...I love you more..." She said kissing on his cheek.

Be it be the minute things, it's important to acknowledge the efforts in any relation.

He smiled brightly and said "You are not something to be taken for granted...Your opinion matters...and...I love you more...too..."

"You can do anything with me and you have all the rights...I'm yours..." She said initiating a kiss to which he gave in happily.

In the world full of 'YOU ARE MINE', she was that 'I AM YOURS' type that none wishes to get rid of.

Sunday,

"Nandu...I'm keeping your dress here...I'll wait downstairs...Get ready and come..." Manik said placing a white and pink salwar on the bed while he was dressed in a crisp white shirt with faded jeans.

"Jii" She replied with a smile while closing her laptop after her classes.

He went downstairs to make some calls while Nandini got ready and joined him after completing her look with small white bindhi, silver oxidized ear rings and her wrist watch.

"Shall we go...??" He asked once he was done appreciating her look with his eyes and she nodded in yes.

Seeing her lost in deep thoughts, Manik snapped his fingers in front of her while driving.

"What are you thinking...?? So deeply...??" He asked exchanging looks at her and on the road.

"No...Nothing...Just like that..." She said and looked out of the window. He sighed and understood her state of mind as it was her first interaction with his professional people.

They reached the place and before they could step down, he held her hand and said "Relax Nandu...There's nothing to overthink and stress out...I'm going to introduce my life partner...And you neither need to impress anyone nor worry about their approval...Okay...??"

She nodded with a smile and he squeezed her hand in assurance before getting down. She took a deep breath of confidence that he has filled in and waited for the door to open after they rang the doorbell.

"Ohh Manik...Nandini...Come come...We are waiting for you..." The producer chirped once he opened the door.

They bent to take his blessings and he happily blessed them and offered them to seat while calling his wife.

"Manik...Long time my boy...'' She said cupping his cheek after blessing them.

"She is Nandini" He introduced formally and she folded her hands with a smile that they reciprocated.

"So...What do you do Nandini...??" Producer asked and before Nandini could open her mouth, Manik started "She is an architect sir..."

"You shut up...Did I ask you...?? Let her talk..." He said strictly making Manik shut his mouth with a pout while the producer looked at Nandini and said "Toh tell us about yourself Nandini beta..."

"I'm working as an architect Sir..." She replied with a smile and his wife came with a tray filled with glasses of juice.

"So what are the online classes for...??" He asked.

"Interior designing sir..." She said and the conversation went on and on making each other comfortable till they moved to dining table for lunch.

"Nandini beta...You need to do me a favor..." The producer asked serving Manik a scoop of rice that he kept denying to have because of his diet.

"Jii sir..." She asked politely.

"We have a house under construction...That will take another 6 to 7 months...I want you to do the interior designing...like your first project..." He said making her gasp in shock.

"Sir...Mein...kaise...I'm just taking classes...and this..." She hesitated.

"You can do it beta...You will be a fresh graduate by the time it's constructed...See I'm also being selfish here...The fresh interns or graduates will have lots of knowledge and have that spirit in them which they wish to show in their first project...I want that...That's the reason I have encouraged Manik for his first movie too..." He explained.

"But sir...Still...It's too early..." She said hesitatingly.

"Don't worry Nandini...You can do it...Like I trust Manik, I trust you as well...Just accept it...I'll arrange a team to help you...Anyways it's only after 6 months..." He assured.

She looked at Manik and he nodded slightly and closed his eyes to accept it. She slightly smiled and said "But sir...You have to promise me that...if at all you don't like anything, you'll tell me to change and not accept just for my sake..."

"Sure...Definitely...My wife is much interested in all those...You can ask her and she will let you know how she prefers and you work accordingly..." He said and she accepted with a smile.

"So...What's the plan for next weekend...??" He asked once that topic was over.

"Next weekend...??" His wife asked with a frown.

"Arey...Manik's birthday...I think it's his first birthday after they met...Right guys...??" He asked and Manik nodded with a smile.

"You know...That's the reason I have cancelled my meetings and arranged this lunch today...I know they will be having plans for next weekend...Kyun Nandini...??" He asked and she faked a smile as she wasn't prepared for his birthday and was running out of ideas.

They finished their lunch and spent some time talking about Manik's projects and upcoming promotional interviews for his second movie.

"Okay sir...We will leave...Thanks for the wonderful hospitality..." Manik said forwarding his hand for a handshake while the producer moved to hug him and patted his shoulder saying "Don't be so formal Manik...You can feel it home..."

"Take care Nandini beta...See you soon..." The couple said and bid bye to them while the younger couple got into their car, lost in their respective thoughts.

Ignore mistakes...

So, one revealed and 3 to go... Keep guessing...:P
