Chapter 23

Chapter - 23

Location - Malhotra Mansion - 11 AM

It was an unusual abrupt - disturbed morning for Nandini - unlike the daily peaceful waking up - this time something unidentified vibe of some bad happening, was the thing to pull her out from the arms of Morpheus. She was quietly caressing his smiling face while ruffling his hair - trying hard to disregard the eerie feeling that she was experiencing - of some unfortunate eventuality that was fleet - footedly approaching them. She was sure of her inhibitions as she had seen her intuitions coming true - since her childhood. Unknown to what was coming and nervous with the turmoil of her senses - unable to draw any clear picture from the blur hints her instincts and sixth sense were giving her - she was just silently and ceaselessly praying to her Aiyappa to keep her small Family safe and sound - and let every and any problem attack her instead of her loved ones. But Probably this time her Aiyappa had some other by SaveNewaAppz"> plans - Plans to test his devotee's patience and the strength of her Love.

The only thing that was keeping her calm was him - by her side - environing her with his warmth that was more like oxygen to her. She bent down and lovingly pecked on the corner of his lips - and he instantly opened his eyes as if waiting for her to do so. One glance in her eyes - that were a window for him to see what was going on inside her and he instantly noticed the twitchiness that was eating her up from last 2 hours. He saw her - clinging onto him tightly - tighter than usual and this acted as a confirmation to his observation. He gently caressed her hair and asked, cupping her cheek Baby you okaye? I can see that something is troubling you. She snuggled more into him and replied Manik I am getting jitters about something I don't know. Aisa lagraha hai jaise kuch bura honey wala hai. And you know my intuitions na - I am scared. He knew how much these collywobbles intimidate her - and to soothe her, he just took her in a bear hug and then asked, breaking the hug - looking deep into her eyes Nandini Do you trust me? She bobbed her head in affirmation and he rejoined Then don't worry at all. Until I am there - I won't let anything trouble my little Baby and our Family. Okaye?Sh finally smiled and heaved a sigh - assured with his words as she knew he was right - when he was there, she din't need to worry at all. But somewhere down the line - some bits and pieces were still haunting her but she din't let them over - take her confidence in him. Though he had comforted her and she had calmed believing in him - he knew she needs to be distracted otherwise again she would start worrying so he suggested, despite hating his idea to make her work Baby! Since we all are here together, why don't we ourselves clean the mess? We can have some fun also. What say? She understood why he was saying this and replied, complying with his efforts Good Idea Manik! Lets go. Saying this she turned to start the day by getting freshened up, but he pulled her back - causing her to fall on his chest with a thud and just sealed his lips with hers for the much important Morning Kiss to which she readily responded. Breaking the kiss on running out of breath, Manik said, resting their foreheads togetherHow can you be so careless? You know na I can't manage without your kiss. She guiltily caught her ears and replied childishly Sorry Papa! I Love You Sho Much! Manik smiled and replied, after pecking her cute pout that she made and releasing her ears from her hold Its Okay Baby! Papa Loves You More. She smiled back and then stepped out of the bed to get ready. When he heard the shower nob click, he called Cabir and asked him to get himself and everyone else also ready for the tidying work . He cribbed initially - not liking the idea to do the labor work after a tiring wedding - but when Manik told him about Nandini - he instantly agreed.

Half - an - hour later, MaNan moved downstairs - Nandini wearing a comfy jumpsuit and Manik in simple jeans and white t - shirt - and found all of them already to get started. She smiled at Manik - knowing he had asked them to do so - a favor which he returned warmly. They wished each other a Good Afternoon as it was noon and then settled on the dining table for feeding their bodies with some fuel - that would give them energy to do the work. On not finding Aarav around, MaNan asked about his where-about and Navya informed them that he was off to school. Getting done with the food business - they distributed the tasks among themselves. Every one were outdoor - as the servants had cleaned the house last night as per the instructions; Alya and Dhruv were given the responsibility of outhouse - along with Navya - Veebha and a bunch of footmen. Mukti - Manik took one half of the garden - giving the other half to CabiNi - who were giggling and playing more than doing work; throwing garbage at each other or rather throwing each other into garbage - and if not this then dancing weird steps taking the broomsticks - and toying with it - Cabir was making ugly faces - imitating a witch who would be flying on her broomstick making Nandini laugh her lungs out and himself was guffawing seeing her rolling on the floor.
