"Heyyy baby" I hear him
Turning around I find him walking to me shirtless, water dripping down his hair as he struggles to keep his eyes open
"Manik you didn't dry your hair"
"Im hungry' he says licking his lips
I couldn't help but smile at his cuteness
"Are you making fun of me?" He asks leaning down to kiss my lips
"Not at all" I mumble pecking his lips again
"Yummy" he mumbles grabbing the plate
I follow him up to our room where he sits on the bed with the plate in his lap, he grabs a pillow placing it beside him
'Sit" he says making me smile
"Are you okay?" I ask sitting down beside him
he hums eating and feeding me as well, he likes to feel me for some reason, even when he is fully sober he will always make sure I get the first bite.
"Im not hungry"I. Say when he forwards me a bite
"You didn't eat at the party I know. I may be drunk but I am not wasted anymore. I know enough to know you are my wife"
I giggle making him pout at me
"Girlfriend, I am your girlfriend"
"Oh shit, sorry wrong girl" he mumbles with a playful smirk
"Shut up stupid" he chuckles kissing my lips
"I know you aren't my wife yet, but soon" he says placing the plate on the table beside him
"Sleepy?" I ask
"No, I want to talk to you"
"Im right here"
"I am sorry about saying stuff about having another girl in bed, I mhm I don't know why I said that"
"Shh it's okay, we can talk tom"
"No I want you to know that I didn't say it because it would happen or anything"
"Trust me, I know no girl in this world can love you like I love you and I know that you would never throw that trust away for little bit of fun"
"I would never"
"I know manik, go on and brush. I will make sure mukti is a sleep okay"
He nods kissing my nose walking to the bathroom, he was much more sober than 2 hours ago.
I walked to Mukti's room and saw it creaked open so I walk in to see her sleeping in abhi's arms who was also a sleep so I'm assuming they forgot to close to door. I shut the door as I left and walked back to our room
Manik was laying on his back staring at the ceiling as if it is the most interesting thing he has ever seen, but his eyes, his face was blank
"What's cooking in this big brain?" I ask laying beside him
"Just the usual" he says
"Are you okay" I ask caressing his chest gently
"Yeah"
"Don't lie"
That was all he needed I guess because he turns into my chest sobbing, he started to sob like I have never seen. It's not like I have seen manik cry but the way he was sobbing right now is something I wouldn't ever want to see again
"Shh shh it's okay" I coo kissing his head
"Nandini" he cries
His sobs are hurtful, they physically hurt me so much
"You are okay, mukti is okay, everything is okay" I assure him rubbing his back
He shakes his head crying
"every time she is around everything falls apart, she hurts mukti, she makes a scene and she blames me. How is it my fault? I don't know what to do anymore, I keep hurting you, mukti, cabir and even arun, all because of her. I can't control it, I can't control myself, I become this version of myself that she wants me to and I let her win every time"
"That's not true"
"It is true, I tried okay, I did, I tried everyday to not let it affect me but I cannot, I just cannot"
"shh shh"
"It's over, mukti will never look at me like she used to and she won't even talk to me at all so what she point nandini. I even hurt you"
"I promise you she won't be affected by what your mother said, it's not something you need to worry about. Mukti knows you and she knows your heart, yes she may have reacted that way but she is okay now. I have already talked to her and she understands"
"She won't look at me like she used to, I know I betrayed her"
"Manik thats not true at all, mukti knows you and i know my best friend enough to know she will not be siding with your mother. I also know my boyfriend enough to know he isn't going to change his behaviour or his actions towards his sisters or anyone actually because of that women. You are fine and so is mukti, do you understand that?" I ask
"Nandini"
"Manik I promise you everything is okay"
"I hope so, I cannot lose you or mukti"
"And what about cabir and arun?"
"Them too" he says softly
"You are okay mani" I whisper kissing his head
"You make me okay"
"I do, don't I?"
He nods kissing my neck
"I wanted you so bad tonight and se everything is ruined"
"Nothing is ruined"
"Liar"
"Manik"
"Shh I'm sleepy, put me to sleep"
"Excuse me"
He lifts his head up pouting at me, he pecks my lips.
"Please"
"I love you" I mumble kissing his lips
"I love you more" he whispers laying back down on my chest
I begin to trace my fingers up and down his back, kissing his head or shoulder time to time, he falls a sleep shorty after.
I can't help but feel sad at everything that happened today, the way tier mother pushed both the kids under the bus to rise above them is so selfish. I hope they both are okay tomorrow
