Arranged To Be His 🩵

Chapter 27

Nandini's pov

There was a hand on my arm shaking me, as I open my eyes I see the nice flight attendant that gave me coffee previously looking at me with a smile

"Ma'am the flight is about to land" she lets me know

"Okay thank you for telling me" I smile at her

"I need you to wake up your husband as well" she says making me look towards Manik

He was sleeping holding my hand making me smile, sure I was upset at him for hiding things but how can you not smile seeing him sleeping so peacefully

"Yeah, I will ,thanks" I tell her

I sit up a little and caress manik's face gently, he leans into my touch unknowingly

"Wake up, we are about to land" I whisper

He hums leaning in my hand

"Manik, wake up" I say shaking him a little

"Are you okay? Whats wrong?" He asks being hassled

"We are about to land"

"Land?" He looks around and then takes a huge breath laying his head on my shoulder for a couple minutes

"Still upset darling?" He asks, his voice a little muffled and groggy from being a sleep

A smile makes it way over my face hearing him, I wasn't too upset but he shouldn't have kept it hidden from me

"A bit"

"Im sorry baby, I just need to know certain things, plus wouldn't you wanna know stuff that you have been wondering?" He asks kissing my shoulder leaning back on his seat

"I want to however I would have liked you telling me. Manik you know in this business you can't really do stuff without him knowing especially when the businesses are combined"

"You are mistaken if you think so" he says

"Mistaken about what?"

"About him knowing, he is bluffing. He was throwing a blind arrow in a battle field nandini, of course he is gonna hit something"

"Manik he was sure of the things he was saying, it looked like he knew exactly what was going on"

"No darling, he wanted you to know that he knows so you could spill something to him but since you didn't know he couldn't get anything from you" he explained

"Whatever it was, don't ever do it again. It's utterly bullshit and very frustrating to hear what your husband has been up to behind your back"

"I understand but it's not something I can just say, hey nandini I am going to go all mafia on your father" I chuckle at his voice

"I would be fine with it Manik but I need communication. you can't just do things without letting me know especially when it comes to me. anything connected to me, us, our families, I need to know. The rest of the business, I don't care Manik" I explain as we head towards out little villa after we had landed

"I know and I won't repeat it again" he whispers back from beside me

"Good, and what is this crap you are searching for?"

"Thank you" he says to the driver as he drops us off

It was so beautiful, the sun was setting and the sky was changing so much that it was nice.

I walked out to the balcony that was connected to a private pool overlooking the sky, it was gorgeous, the most beautiful thing ever.

"You look beautiful" I hear Manik's whisper as he wraps his arms around me resting them on my stomach

"Thank you" I whisper leaning in his chest

"I apologize for going behind your back and I promise no matter what it is, I will never do it again, I will always try and communicate it with you before I go and do something. I am sorry, you had to hear it from your father, those weren't my intention"

"I know silly, I get why you did it and I am not upset anymore so you don't have to think too much or apologize at all"

"Is it the view that made you wanna forgive me?" He asks

"Mhm the view is great but I don't think I can ever be upset with you too long" I tell him

"I knew it"

"Oh stop being cocky" I smack his chest making him laugh

We watched the sun for hours, it was so beautiful, not just the view but everything, especially manik. He makes me feel safe and loved, I want to tell him I love him, I wanna say how I can't help but fall for him.

Every single day the past few months I had wanted to tell him how much I love him and how much he means to me but I am afraid that this mhm this love I feel for him won't be reciprocated. He had already told me he doesn't want me like that but I can't help but want him in all ways

A part of me just wants to tell him and live with the consequences or the way he feels but the other art of me doesn't know if I could live without his love and care for me.

"Manik" I whisper lacing my fingers with his that were on my stomach

"Yeah" he places a soft kiss on the back of my head and in that moment I knew I had to tell him

I turned a bit, my back against the balcony boundary/railing, his arms were locked behind my back as he looks at me with a small smile

"I need to tell you something"

"Don't tell me you are pregnant" he jokes making me giggle

"Unfortunately mr malhotra, you just haven't worked hard enough" I tease

"Yeah? I can work a bit harder if you wish" he teases back kissing my head
