chapter 19

"Manik I told you na that she is my bestie and look she also recognized me..."Nandini said to manik who were sitting on the grass of their lawn after they came back to cottage. Everyone was sleeping but our two lovebirds were seated under the dark sky cuddling to each other and wrapped in a single shawl. Manik just smiled at her and kissed her fore-head and kept her close to him..

"Nandini never ever leave me..okay!! Stay close to me forever.."manik said hugging her tightly. He himself didn't knew why was he saying all that. In return she hugged him even more tightly and buried her face in his chest and said "I love you Mani...I will be with you forever "
"But not more than me baby.." Manik said making Nandini to make an angry put to which he pecked numerous times and hugged her again.

"Manik get up.."Nandini ordered him but he just hurried himself more into the pillow which he was doing from last 5-6 minutes. Not finding any other way she thought for a while and then acted upon her plan "ouch...uff...bht dard ho rha hai..."Nandini said as she was hurt and was paining...manik immediately jumped from the bed and came running to Nandini who was sitting on the floor with holding her foot..

"kya hua baby..?? Ruko mein ata hun.." Manik said worriedly showing concern in his voice and went to being the spray which will help to less her pain as it wasn't bleeding or anything it was just inner pain as per manik. He was finding something when Nandini stood in front of him and made him sit on the bed..."manik main theek hun..actually tum uth nahi rahe they tou main one yeh kiya but I am sorry I realize k mujhe a is a nhi krna chahiye that..."Nandini said holding her ears and making cute faces so how can someone be angry with such a cute baby. He didn't said anything further and wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her keeping his head on her stomach..she smiled at his kiddish act and ruffled his hair and hugged him back keeping her face on his head..."don't do this again you know na I can't see you hurt like this..."manik said still hugging her..."I won't do it again..Nandini promise..."Nandini promised.

"Mani utho na breakfast kr kwe have to leave for airport..."Nandini said and Manik broke the hug and looked at her and stood up..."first of all u have to complete ur punishment for what you did..."manik said innocently..."okay..I am ready..."Nandini said. Manik pulled nanini close to him from her waist; placed the loose strands behind her ear and said.."so ur punishment is.."he lift nandini's face from her chin and came closer to her lips , she could sense what was coming as her punishment..."is" nandini said increasing the already burning fire in manik..."is.."manik said bringing his face close to her and touched her lips with his for a slow kiss..none of them was passionate but slow and gentle. It was a kiss of love and only love...love that will never drift them apart. Love that will never bring anyone between them. They slowly broke their lip-to-lip contact and Nandini immediately hugged him tight finding the only place to hide her crimson red face.

Manik smiled at her this gesture and hugged her back and kissed her head. They remained like this for sometime without saying anything but living the beautiful silence. They broke apart and manik left to change only after kissing her cheeks and leaving her blushing and smiling without any reason..."woh utha k nahi..?? "Mukti asked as Nandini came back to lounge where everyone was sitting to start their breakfast when manik will come..."aisa hosakta hai kya k hamari nandu order kry or monster manik na mane?? "Navya replied to mukti without waiting for

Nandini to reply putting her arm on nandini's shoulder.."Nandini you are blushing only on his name you jab woh aye ga you kya hoga..."alya said and everyone said in union "oooohhh "there this teasing was broken by the words "tum logon k pass koi or kaam nhi hai kya??? Or kyun us ko tang kr rahe ho?? "Manik said putting his arm around nandini's waist..."sorry manik baba ab breakfast kr lyn plzzz.."cabir said and everyone started their breakfast.

"Thank you so much manik...I know you planned this trip for me....I love you bht saaraa..."Nandini said wrapping her arms around his strong one and resting her head on his shoulder. As they were in the flight and on their way back to Mumbai..."no need meri jaan..I love to do anything for you...it's my duty.." Manik said adjusting his hand around her shoulder and she kept her dad on his chest. His words always made her feel like a princess.."dhruv what are you doing..?? "Alya asked dhruv who was busy on the phone since their journey started. Dhruv showed her his phone and she kissed him on his cheek as she saw her picture on his phone which he was smiling at. Abhimanyu was playing angry birds on his phone when suddenly his phone was snatched by mukti who was fed up of his game. He realized his mistake and held his ears as apologizing. Mukti quickly freed her ears from his hold and got busy in discussing their trip..."madhubala tum kabhi nahin badlo gi. " Cabir said looking at Navya who was praying to have a safe journey and was actually scared as always.
