MANAN- HER SECOND CHOICE ✓

THE FIRST DINNER

Nandini was shock to see him at this time. She gasped after watching him at the threshold, he was still donned as a supermodel yet a champagne was in his hand. Nandini closed her eyes and then open them instently still he wasn't gone, now she understood that he came here for real. Nandini smiled fake and opened the gate widely for him.

"Hey come in." Nandini offered but he stood there smiling.

"After you lady." Manik said and let nandini went inside and then himself entered and then shut the apartment door.

"I didn't expect that you'd come after you didn't responded." Nandini smiled offering him a glass of water.

"Well it would be a stupidity to decline the dinner invitation of ms.agarwal when she revealed, she is going to cook herself. It would be a great loss for me, i guess." Manik said drinking the refreshing water slowly and looking at nandini intensely who look a little conscious and nervous right now.

She wasn't ready for this official dinner that's why she didn't got ready but now it seems, she needs to get ready. Nandini served him some snacks and a fabulous coffee considering the cold weather outside and excused herself away from the charming him who was smelling heavenly.  Manik took a sip of the coffee and smiled because it was perfect cup of coffee. Everything was balanced in the cup just like nandini like her life to be.

Soon nandini came out from her room wearing a beautiful one piece dress falling till her knees with open hairs and black high heels. Some bracelet in right hand and diamond studs that she never removes were as it is. Nandini doesn't like makeup that's why her face is bare, only a lip gloss was adoring her beautiful lips.

"You're looking beautiful nandini." Manik complemented and nandini smiled brightly and came near him.

"I think we should have our dinner now. It's getting cold come." Nandini invited him inside to the dining area which was just infront of the open kitchen. Manik pulled a chair for nandini and then himself sat beside her.

"You know nandini, i think you must visit my home sometimes for lunch and dinners. My mom will be really happy meeting you moreover you can learn to make various kinds of dishes from her." Manik suggested when nandini was serving him dinner.

"That's so kind of you but what do you think, i am not a good cook." Nandini asked being offened.

"No, don't take it in that way. What i mean is your tasty cooking skills will be more polished if my mother would add some desi touches into them. I just wanted to invite you for dinner." Manik said looking at her. Since the house lights were dim and candles were mostly enlightening the room, the thundering of clouds and rattling of windows made nandini shivered a little.

"Ok thanks i will come soon. It would be an honour to meet ma'am." Nandini said serving herself meanwhile manik spread a cloth on his lap.

Finally they started to have dinner and manik had to accept that nandini's cooking skills needs no polishing. Everything tastes great still manik didn't leave her without teasing.

"Wow nandini food is really great, can you tell me from where did you order this chicken? This is wow. I would love to have it again and again." Manik said eating chicken curry.

"I didn't ordered it from anywhere. I made everything." Nandini said with slight attitude in her voice.  They had their dinner in peace and nandini suddenly served the sweetdish in bowls. Manik loved everything she made. Manik doesn't prefer to eat someone's homemade food but his mother's but he had finished everything nandini just served with beautiful smile on his face.

Once he gulped down the water, he looks at nandini who was looking at him smilingly. He raised his eyebrows at her and she just shook her head.
