As the evening sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city skyline, Manik and Nandini found themselves alone in their apartment. Their parents had left after a joyful celebration, leaving the young couple to revel in the quiet intimacy of their love.Manik lounged on the couch, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he watched Nandini putter around the kitchen, tidying up after their guests. 

With a playful smirk, he called out to her."Hey, Mrs. Sharma," he teased, using the title that still felt new and exciting on his tongue. "Do you think our parents are hinting at something with all that talk about grandkids?"Nandini rolled her eyes, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she joined him on the couch. "I think they're just excited about the prospect of becoming grandparents one day," she replied, leaning into his side.

Manik wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her close as he nuzzled her neck affectionately. "Well, who can blame them?" he murmured, his breath warm against her skin. "I can't wait to see you as a mom, Nandini."His words sent a shiver of anticipation down Nandini's spine, igniting a fire of desire that burned hot and fierce within her. She turned to face him, her eyes dark with longing as she captured his lips in a searing kiss.Their kiss deepened, a symphony of passion and desire as they lost themselves in each other's embrace. Manik's hands roamed over Nandini's body, tracing the curves of her figure with gentle reverence.Nandini sighed into his touch, her heart pounding in her chest as she surrendered herself to the intensity of their love. With each caress, each whispered endearment, they forged a connection that transcended words, a bond that was as unbreakable as it was undeniable.

But just as their passion threatened to consume them, a shrill ringtone shattered the moment, pulling them back to reality with a jolt. Nandini reached for her phone, her brow furrowing in confusion as she saw the caller ID."It's Muskan," she said, her voice tinged with concern. "I wonder what she wants at this hour."Manik's grip tightened around her waist, a flicker of unease crossing his features. "Be careful, Nandini," he said, his voice laced with worry. "Something doesn't feel right."But Nandini brushed off his concerns, her curiosity getting the better of her as she answered the call. Little did she know, this innocent act would set off a chain of events that would threaten to tear their world apart.
