As a new day dawned, Manik woke up with the side of his bed that was occupied by Nandini's soft delicate body empty. He ran a hand over the mattress and snuggled her pillow.

Last night she mentioned about having a busy day. She was so tired that Manik slept hugging her even though his cock was rock hard and aching in his pants. But he put her health and comfort on top of his list of needs— as wanting to keep her healthy and happy was his ultimate desire more than desiring her in bed.

"Ugh, at least you could wake up to give me a small kiss." He stretched his hands and got out of bed.

Manik stopped before the mirror and a big bright smile burst on his lips. Because his lips were tinted red with a mark of Nandini's lipstick. She did kiss him.

"You make me fall for yourself more and more, love." He asserted and fluttered his eyes dreamily.

To make it more dramatic, Manik placed his hands above his heart and stared at himself in the mirror. He looked like a true lover. Lover in a deep, crazy and irrevocable spell of love cast by a sexy nymph. Only she wasn't from heaven but Earth.

He was enjoying being a normal love stricken guy until he saw the screen of his phone blinking from the mirror. Manik grabbed it from bed, "Piya!" and ground his teeth.

He had so many things in mind to do. However, he pushed all of them aside and with composing himself, "Hey baby," picked the call.

"You idiot!" Manik heard Piya scream.

She called him names as she tried to vent his frustration on him. Towards the end her voice cracked and he knew she was crying.

"I am sorry, darling. I swear I've been busy." He lied. "You know work and stuff. I don't have time to eat peacefully, much less dial a number and call. I am sorry." He talked as nicely as he could.

"You promised me you'll call me daily. How could you forget me, Manik?" Piya sobbed. "Have you found a new lover in Francisco? for whom you are ignoring me."

His mouth opened in daze. Was it a guess? Hope it was for Manik can't risk being seen by her or anyone in India.

"No way, Jaan. It's nothing like that. Do I look like that kind of guy to you?" She fell silent. "There's no one other than you. There can't ever be anyone else other than you."

"Promise?" She said in a cute voice that made him smile.

She was cute.

"God's swear, Jaan." Manik replied.

"Okay, tell me how are you?" Piya asked— Which led to a good thirty minutes talk.

He was not a talkative guy but he could stretch conversations longer than necessary if the caller was Piya. She was a nice girl with a heart of gold. Hurting her would surely reserve him a place in hell. Not that he cared of it… it's just that he didn't want to break her heart.

When manik came back to stare at himself in the mirror post tossing the phone on bed, he observed the lines of irritation on his forehead and dark circles under his eyes.

"This game's become nasty. I need to pull together before it leads to a bad consequence." He told himself. "I don't care about lives but I am playing with many hearts and their sentiments. I need to tell everything to Nandini."

Manik took a towel and went inside the shower. "And that soon will be tonight. I'll tell Nandini everything about me tonight. Everything she needs to know."

Manik was at work on time. He was a good dealer. A dealer who not only dealt expertly in drugs and weapons but also with emotions. So when he was inside the company building, he became the amusing flirting Manik everyone knew.

He did his work passionately as he counted time. Evening arrived much to his desperation, lately, but as everyone left Manik entered inside Nandini's cabin.

"Hey babe," She beamed at his greeting.

"Come here and give me a deep kiss, Mr. Malhotra. It had been a fucking stressful day." Manik ran to her and latched their mouths.

He kissed her for minutes and left when they both were out of breath. He held her close possessively to his heart and joined their foreheads. Insecurities rose in his chest as he thought about tonight as he'd do his revelation. Her reaction was fretting him.

Nandini sensed the variation in his gesture, "What's wrong with my man tonight? He doesn't look so good."

"Umm, I hate to say this, but I am nervous." He made her chuckle.

"And why's that?" Her small gesture of cupping his cheeks filled his heart with more possession.

Manik kissed her deep again. Then he hugged her tightly and said, "I am going to tell you about me."

"About you?"

"Yeah." Nandini was happy he was ready to tell about him to her.

She had been dying to know more about him ever since she saw him for the first time. Though she's done her own little inquiry in India through the HR Manager who sent Manik her to San Francisco, Nandini wanted to know about him from him.

She was aware of his parents and a huge family that lived in the same area in different apartments. His father was an employee like him whereas his mother a homemaker… for Nandini, there was still a lot he could tell her. Like about his parents and how they met, the bond they share, the lives they live together as a family.

Nandini never had her own family so she was curious to know about the in-laws she would be living with. After all, she can see a marriage proposal coming for her in some days… which would lead to a wedding, and an end to this boring life of hers.

She was eager to go to India, her borland and start a happy married life as a homemaker. Nandini was done with her working woman status. She wanted to begin a life as a housewife that'd spend her days going to beauty parlors and nights cooking dinner with mother in law and call it a day, making out with her husband.

"I can't wait to know more about you, Manik." Nandini made him smile.

"Let's get you some dinner before I— gosh, this phone." The ringing of his phone irritated him.

Manik pulled out only to realize it was Piya calling him.

This time Nandini didn't become sad. She was rather smiling, "Your crazy friend! Looks like she loves to have an evening chitchat with you."

"Yeah," Manik nervously grinned.

"Well go on then, talk to her and be back to me soon." She waved her hands in the air sending him off.

Once Manik was away from her, he hit the green button, "Hey Piya," and answered the call.

Nevertheless, he heard Piya sob recklessly on the other side. "M-manik," Her voice shook vulnerably.

"What's wrong, Piya?" He asked.

"M-manik, y-your parents m-met with an accident." She said, taking his breaths away.
