MaNan FF : Life With Nandini (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 33

Retour en arriere

Hum kahan aye hain Manik? Nandini questioned Manik as they stepped out of their limosine to face the front of a huge edifice standing amidst lush viridescent vegetation. Manik took her in a side - hug and replied, walking along with her into the premises Khud Dekhlo! She gave him a nod and they directly entered into the building, breaking through the huge horde that was waiting for their turn to get the tickets; thanks to Manik who had already arranged for them as being the over - protective husband he is of his Princess; making her a part of such a hubbub was something not even worth considering. Nandini almost stiffened, finding herself underneath a vast and high aquatic vivarium; basically an underwater tunnel with glass ceiling that served as window to the huge water - tank above, that housed probably every kind of marine fauna and flora that Nandini had ever known; with only the ground below her feet seeming coarse in contrast to the other bluish transparent walls of the expanse. 

Unlike the surprised expression, which adorned her face when they visited DisneyLand, she now had an amazed one; with her mouth agape with bewilderment - betokening her astonishment about the possibility of her atypical dry presence under an ocean with all its inhabitants moving alive. Deciphering her state from her eloquent orbs, he smiled and asked bringing her out of the daze You like the place? She grinned widely and replied, skimming her fingers over the vitreous screenUnbelievable Manik! This is so beautiful. Kya yahan pe big fishes bhi hongey? She asked innocently to which Manik answered, after pecking her cheeks Haan! Sharks hain woh bhi 38, alag alag. And your favorite, Coral reefs bhi hain. Her lips took the shape of the letter O inviting a peck from him, which he gave and then he rejoined Agar tum chaho na toh hum underwater bhi jasakte hain. You want to? Nandini smiled broadly and bobbed her head exuberantly like a kid who have been offered an extra scoop on his Ice - cream cone. He smiled and then said, intertwining their fingers Okay! Per ussey pehle let me show you around. She looked at him and asked in her sugary baby voice Manik Tum yahan pehle aye ho? He gave her gentle tap on forehead with his, and replied Haan Baby! Jab yeh first time open hua tha tab. At that time, somehow I was very fond of fishes so Dad bought me here. Bohot keenly observe kiya tha sab toh abhi tak yaad hai. She smiled and kissed him on his cheeks and then they advanced to check out the aquarium. 

After surveying almost half - of the wide area, passing across the large sized sharks and sundry fishes with Manik acting as a guide for Nandini, they reached the dive - in area where the coral reefs along with small fishes were kept. This specific zone was detached from the rest of the aquaria, situated to the rear and allowed only one diving party at a time that would be spending a whole of one hour underwater, privately, accompanied by a volunteer. While collecting their costumes, a few steps away from Nandini, Manik saw her playing with a colorful betta fish - that seemed to have befriended his Baby. He sedately moved closer to her and leaned beside her to have a clear view of her big doey eyes, shining, and the naive smile on her face seeing the fish unfurl its fins and tail like chinese fan when she poked its tiny mouth - abutting the inner side of the tank - with her finger. Her childlike antic and the esctatic clapping of her long lashes mesmerized him and he felt every beat of his heart taking her name as a prayer - overjoyed on being fortunately owned by such a pure soul who finds happiness in little things around her. Taking her in a back hug, he kept his chin on her shoulder, not blinking even once, not wanting to miss the serene sight of his childwoman for even a nanosecond. She slowly took his hand and said, continuing the prodding with his index finger Its so cute na Manik and pretty also. He kissed her cheeks and repliedThey are. But Not more than my Baby. A light blush crept on her cheeks and he asked impishly, pointing towards the kissing gouramis What do you think about them? Aren't they romantic? She gave a shy smile and replied, turning about and snaking her arms around his neck They are. But not more than my Baby. His lips twitched in his famous - smirk and then he said huskily, raising his left brow and pulling her closerAccha? Ab compliment diya hai toh mujhe uske hisaab se chalna padega na. More than ready to give in to his wish, she closed her eyes and he lovingly fused his lips with hers for a passionate kiss; a contact he considered more vital than breathing, for his sanity and survival. The tick - tick sound of the approaching attendant's shoes, made them break their kiss too soon and then Manik said, handing her the provided garms and gears to be worn along with a peck Yeh Pehenlo jaldi se so that we can go inside and meet your new friend. She complied and then they both changed themselves into the given Black Jumpsuits.
