Her Husband

Chapter 18

Manik's pov

I was only supposed to be in Paris for a week with nandini for our honeymoon but we both extended it to three weeks instead and let me tell you, these three weeks have been the best fucking time of my life.

You know that analogy that when you are in love, it feels like eveyrhting is perfect, you don't see a single flaw, you enjoy life together like the rest of the world doesn't matter, because it's true. I feel like im floating in this bubble with my wife and I love that but im also very anxious about what will happen when we get back knowing I have ronny to deal with

"Manik look" nandini whispers in my arms as we sat in the plane going back home

I look out the window to see the sun rising beautifully, the sky fills with all shades of orange, pink, yellow and musty white because of the clouds

"Its beautiful" I whisper kissing her head

She nods holding onto my t shirt keeping her head in my neck gently, she loves cuddle time. Throughout these weeks, nandini has been glued to my hip, she wants to shower together, eat together, ron around, yes she does make me chase her around the house.

To some her clinginess may be suffocating but to me it's care, its her love, it's what I have craved all my life and I love it, but I know I won't be able to stay away from her which means bringing her to the office, to work

"Mani" she mumbles against my neck

"Yes my love" I caress her back gently

"You think you can bring me with you to meetings and stuff, I know you mentioned not having me out there for missions but can I please not be sitting at home like a boring wife" she asks

Her and I had discussed so much in terms of what I do and what it means now that her and I are together. There were arguments, not big ones but yes smaller ones about how to deal with this

"Nandini love, you know what I do and I want to bring you with me but I don't want you hurt" I mumble for I don't know maybe the 10th time int he past 3 weeks

"I know and I thought about it. I think I should train with you, and learn some self defence and you know all the weird acrobat things you guys do" I chuckle at her words

"Im not lying, I want to. Please mani" she pouts

"It's actually not a bad idea at all, though I do need to discuss it with cabir, Ryan and karthik" I say

"Oh great, they love me anyways so we good" she chirps happily

I nod knowing I can' argue with her or she will pull of weird facts from her brain, and let me tell you, her facts are as weird as a man can get hit by an apple and learn different languages, yup she said that

After a very long and tiring flight, we reached home, our penthouse and immediately Nandini kicks her shoes off running around like a girl on crack because she missed it all. We both showered and were laying in bed when my phone rings, it was an unknown number.

"Hello" I mumble

"Oh hey baby" a girl's voice was heard and immediately Nandini's eyes search mine

"Who is this?" I ask

"This is veebha" I take a huge breath hearing her name because I was about to kill whoever was on the line and then I would get murdered by my wife

"You asshole, why would you call and say that" I mumble

She laughs on the other hand and Nandini was fuming

"I just wanted to see if I could get your wife to beat your ass" I chuckle hearing her

"She wouldn't, she loves me. What's up with you?" I ask grabbing onto Nandini's arm caressing gently

as veebha starts talking about something about her life and her move from LA to Mumbai, I muted myself and pecked Nandini's lips

"She is an old friend of mine, nothing to be insecure about" I let her know

"Oh if you thought I was insecure you are wrong, because I was ready to fight for what's mine" she says making me smile, even grin at her words

"Possessive" I whisper

"Are you even listening to me Manik" veebha says

I quickly unmute myself

"Yeah, yeah" was I though? Nope

"Anyways are you coming to the party tonight?" She asks

"What party?"

"Cabir said you knew"

"No I don't, what is it?" I ask

"You idiot, the launch of your new clothing collection" shit, I completely forgot about that

"Right, yes ill be there" I said

"Great, ill see you there" she says

"Yeah, bye" I cut the call and call cabir

"Yes my love" he answers making me frown but apparently it was hilarious for Nandini because she started laughing

"You didn't tell me about the party tonight"

"I didn't becasue I know you just landed and probably didn't wanna come"

"Dude it's one of our biggest launch and walk so of course ill be there"

"Mee tooo cab, ill be there" Nandini yells

"Yayyyyy im so excited to see you"

These two are crazy

"Great, also wear sexy fancy over the top elegant things" he lets her know

"Jeans" she asks

"Not jeans Nandini" she giggles as he groans knowing she is messing with him

"Byeeeeeee cabuuuu" she yells cutting the call putting my phone on the table

"You know you mess around with him a lot" I ask

"Hehe yes, I love getting him all hassled just like I love messing with you" she giggles making me smile

Stupid party man, I kinda just wanted to sleep and spend time with Nandini. as I was lost in my thoughts about this party and how it's not jsut a launch, rather we are eyeing our enemies, I wondered if I should even take Nandini, I mean I don't want her to be in the limelight
