Nandini's pov

We have been in London for about a week and today is our last day here plus the party/event is also today and I haven't gone shopping yet because Mr grumpy arrogant busy Malhotra hasn't had time.

I mean yeah granted he has been so busy with everything so that he doesn't need to go back and forth form Mumbai to London which I am very glad about

I was going to go shopping right now because it is 1 and the event starts at 7 or 8 I think, but manik isn't home, he is at work so now im bored.

"Arghh why do I have no long dresses?" I groan looking through the clothes I brought  with me

i grab my phone and call manik, he doesn't pick up the first time so I call again and it rings till the last bell

"Yeah baby? Are you okay?" He seemed busy

"Mani I don't have any dresses, can you come shopping with me please?"

"Im in a really important meeting Jaan, can you put on shorts and a t shirt for now and get rocky to drive you here?" He asks

I could feel my cheeks get warm at the endearment, I know how hard it is for him to not be all up on me and call me what he wants but I also know he is trying to understand his feelings which is fair enough

"Nandini baby are you there?"

"Yeah, yeah okay I will be there"

"Be safe, text me when you get in the car"

"Okay, bye bye, be safe and have funzies"

"Sure thing"

He is so perfect, he didn't need to answer but he did and I like that a lot.

"Hey rocky" I mumble walking down to the car

"Hey nandini, office?" He asks

"Yes please, can we stop by a cafe on the way"

'sure thing"

I love the streets of London, it's nice but it can't be compared to India. I feel like I can travel a lot of places but I would never ever feel like im home until im in India

Anyways, i grabbed some coffee for arun, rocky, manik and I on the way to the office. Rocky was a bit hesitant about taking the coffee from me but after a whole lot of 'please' he did take it

"Mhm rocky" I mumble seeing we are in traffic

"Yeah?"

"Have you been with manik a long time?"

"Mhm 3 years"

"How is he as a person?"

"doesn't talk much well he never did until this week I guess and that doesn't mean he was rude, he has always been fairly nice to me but I would never wanna make him angry. He doesn't talk about himself but he talked about you the night he left from here"

"what did he talk about?"

"He was sobbing, I don't think I have seen him like that before, it was like he had lost his own life"

"How do you know he talks about me? Did he ever mention my name?" He chuckles a little

"He never mentioned your name but it was enough for me to know he only loves one women plus when he got this car he had said and I quote 'I wish nandini was here, she'd be very happy seeing this car'. So yeah I know it's you he is head over heals for"

i smile hearing him.

"He might not say it but he is obsessed wiht you and I promise you that 90% of the office would say the same exact thing"
