Bade Acche Lagte Hain | MaNan

Blooming Smiles!

Hey lovelies!

I saw the teaser of KyyS4 (I know I'm the last one to see that :P) and I had mixed feelings of surprise, excitement but a tad bit of disappointment watching another group in the poster of six people. I don't know what to say about that! What's your take on 'Super 6'? (Navya's wish came true I suppose :P)

Faking a relationship! I do wish they have a strong background story supporting that.

Hands down, season 1 was the best and few parts of season 2 with their old school romance. 💜.

How did you guys feel about the teaser?

Enjoy reading!

23rd December, 1995.

The night had been turbulent for Manik until he got rid of the heavy, repellent feeling in his stomach, by powerfully puking his guts out in the bathroom sink, in the middle of the night, simultaneously waking up Nandini with the unintentional noise.

Extremely worried and close to tears, she helped him till the bed solicitously, once he brushed his teeth. He appeared pale and was heaving deep breaths. Adjusting the pillows behind his back, she tended him to drink few sips of water which he obliged with closed eyes.

"I should wake up bhaiya. He must be having some medicine with him or do you want to see a doctor?" Opening his tired eyes to her sniveling, urgent voice, he felt an undefinable urge to hold her close.

"I'm fine." He assured raspily as he actually felt lighter, and patted on his right side, indicating her to sit.

"You should take something. You have vomited so much." She insisted blinking her damp lashes, still on her toes to aid him in some way. He sighed inaudibly, not used to bear so much persistence in a single day. If only she hadn't been Nandini...

"Can you get me some lukewarm water or electral, if you have?" He demanded inessentially, just to make her feel better. Nodding vigorously, she hurried downstairs to make it and was pleased when he emptied the glass.

"Nobody will force you to eat more than your appetite." She promised contritely.

"It's not your fault. Relax, I'm good. You must sleep now." He consoled her, drowsily, as he could finally sleep without any distress. However, she couldn't go back to sleep on her side. His justified despondency from few hours ago was still fresh in her mind and where she had hoped to sleep peacefully in his arms after a long wait, she was chewing her brain to placate him at the other corner of the bed.

Sensing her sitting near him and unmoving, he opened his sleep filled eyes again and pulled up his brow questionably. "I want to sleep here." She said tentatively, tapping his arm, unsure of his reaction. The corner of his lips lifted up in a lazy smile, expressing his surprise and he nodded, shifting and making space for her.

With a gaily grin, she jumped on the offer before he could change his mind and lied down cuddling to him, something she wasn't a fan of, a month ago. Gliding her arms around his stomach, with her face buried in his chest, she mumbled, "I'm sorry."

He heard her muffled voice in the quiet of the night and stroking her hair with his left hand, pulled her nearer and covered them with the thick blanket, accepting the apology as they welcomed a peaceful slumber for the night.

A sunny morning was a welcoming surprise in the heavy winters and the ladies decided to wash the clothes. After mopping her room and taking a bath, Nandini was checking Manik's bag for unwashed clothes if any, other than he wore yesterday.
