Nandini was drying her hair when the closet room door opened and Manik entered. Nandini looked in the mirror and saw Manik turn away quickly. Nandini panicked and covered herself with her hands. She was wearing a blouse and inskirt for saree.
"Sorry" Manik said rubbing his forehead.
"Manners toh chai mein ghol ke pi leta hai yeh" Nandini said covering herself with a towel.
"Sorry bola main ne" Manik said hearing her.
"Haan suna main ne. Why are you here?" Nandini asked
"I wanted to take bath" Manik said pointing the bathroom which was one end of the closet.
Nandini rolled her eyes and said "Karo turn"
Manik turned to see Nandini had covered herself with towel
"I should have knocked" Manik said a bit embarassed. But then he sa Nandini's eyes were transfixed on him.
Nandini looked at Manik who was wearing a gym vest and tracks. He was holding a sipper bottle in his hand. His hairs were sweaty and so was his body
"Tad rahi ho?" Manik said with a smirking as he went and stood infront of her
Nandini got out of her gazing session and said "Tumhe. Never!" she made a bad face
"Really?" Manik said pulling her close by her waist
"Ewww stay away. You are sweaty" Nandini said shaking her body
"Nahi hota toh you were ok na?" Manik said leaning close to her. Nandini closed her eyes and Manik stopped inches away from her. Manik smiled seeing her and stepped back. Nandini opened her eyes and realised what happened. She felt embarassed and looked away quickly
"It's ok Sunshine. I know I am hard to resist" Manik said giving her a grin
"Oh please" Nandini moved away putting down the towel and taking her saree. She started to drape her saree and Manik stood there gapping at her. Nandini saw this nd smirked saying "It's ok. I know I am hard to resist" Manik went to her and pulled her close by her saree
"That you are" he said looking t her intensely "Don't test my patience Sunshine, you know how thin it is" Manik said rubbing his nose with hers. Nandini closed her eyes nodding and feeling his closeness, then she realised what she did. What was wrong with her today? Why was she letting this monster close. She jerked open her eyes and pushed Manik away. Gathering her saree, Nandini left before Manik could even say something. Coming out she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was red "Aiyyapa what is wrong with me?! No Nandini it's all that monster! Uss ko toh sabak sikhana hoga. Nandini looked around and then her eyes fell on something. She remembered something and smirked.

Nandini walked in the office with a broad smile and a happy mood. Ananya saw this and came to her.
"You look more than happy" Ananya said "Uss akdu, tod phod party ke saath kuch hua kya?" she asked Nandini with a teasing smile.
"Manik ke saath? Nahi toh" Nandini said not wanting to be teased.
"Lag toh nahi raha tha. He couldn't keep his hands away from you. Aur kya keh raha tha woh, you are his wife. Teri shadi kab hui?" Ananya asked "Is he troubling you Jaan? Do we need to break his legs?" Ananya asked seeing Nandini thoughtful
"No actually he is my husband" Nandini said
"What!" They both turned to Ayush who looked shocked "Yeh kab hua?!" Ayush said
"It's a long story" Nandini said and they both looked at her as if asking her to tell them.
