Ending the call Manik walks to his room and entering inside he glances at bed where his wife sat there engrossed reading a book not bothering to acknowledge his presence. He took a deep breath and closing the door made his way towards her.

He stood by the bed and looks at her who didn't even glanced away from the book. He rolls his eyes and thought what it is so good about the book that she hasn't bothered acknowledging his presence.

He clears his throat to gain her attention and when he didn't get any attention from her he frowns looking at her and thought what did he do to see her ignorance. He again cleared his throat trying to gain her attention while shoving his hands in his pocket.

Lifting her face from the book she looks at him passing him glare and muttered something under her breath that wasn't audible to him. He looks at her and frowns when she ignored him looking away from him and going back to reading the book.

He sighs and sits opposite her and pulls the book away from her hand and looks when he noticed the cover of the book. He looks at her and thought of teasing but immediately stopped seeing her anger.

Nandini : what the heck are you doing here Manik? Who said you can come and sit here? Why did you take my book? Give my book back to me otherwise

Manik: otherwise what sunshine? I admit you really surprised me. I mean I never thought you read these kind of books. What else do I not know about you?

Nandini rolls her eyes at him and tried snatching the book away from him but Manik pulled it back and chuckles seeing her attempt. Muttering curses and yelling at him she leans forward to grab the book.

Nandini : Manik. I am warming you, give me the book back otherwise I will complain to moms about you troubling me. Look at you troubling a poor child.

Manik chuckles hearing her and looks at her who was ready to murder him by her anger. He puts the book behind his back and looks at her who was trying her best to get hold of the book from his hold.

Manik: who is the child among us sunshine? I don't see any child here. Do you see any child in the room?

He teased her and Nandini looks at him bewildered hearing his words and sits back on her place folding her eyes and throwing deathly glares at him.

Nandini: you are so bad Manik. I hate you. I don't want to be with you. I am going to mom and complain to her about her son who is being rude and annoying. I will tell her how you are troubling me.

Nandini climbs down the bed and not bothering not glance at him she turns to leave the room but stopped when he stops laughing and holding her wrist pulls her over onto his lap making her front body collide with his chest. He looks at her.

He raised his hand up and strokes her face and hair. He tucks the loose hair stands back of her ear and leaning forward planted a soft against her head.

Manik : I am sorry sweetheart. I was just teasing you. I didn't mean to be rude. I am sorry if you felt bad. Please give me love. I am really sorry.

Her eyes widened looking at him and blushed crept over her face as she realised in what position they were sitting. He looks at her and smirks seeing her blush. His fingers still caressing her cheeks softly.

Manik: sweetheart. What am I seeing? A blush on your face. Why are you blushing? I didn't so anything or said anything to make you blush? Why is my little wife blushing so much? Come tell me.

She laps his chest away and bitting her inner cheeks she gets down his lap and composing herself she looks at him who frowned when she moved back.

Nandini : what is wrong with you Manik? Why are you behaving so strange? Did you hit your head on the wall? You are acting so strange. Are you okay?
