Hey friends i m back with the story, i hope u all like it. Plz do comment ur views... And now i will be regular with it!!
The next morning Nandini got up at 7am. she somehow managed to free herself from Manik's grip & got ready as it was her first day to work. She was sitting in front of the mirror & setting her hair, when manik got up.
Manik: Good Mrng baby....
Nandini: Hmn....
Manik got up and went closer to her, he encircled his hands around her & said,
Manik: u r looking even more beautiful today!!
Nandini(in an angry tone): Thanks!!
Manik: What happened?? Why is my star not in a good mood early morning.
Nandini: Manik.... Stop being cute, I m very angry at u.
Manik: Thats what i'm asking... Why r u angry??
Nandini: Manik look at this!!
She showed him her neck, which had a mark, clearly visible to be a love bite.
Nandini: See what did u do?? Its my first day at work & how will i go with this..
Manik smiled at her & rubbed his hair. He slowly kissed the mark & asked:
Manik: Did i hurt you??
Nandini: When did i say so... I m just saying, why the neck, didn't u get any other part.
Just then nandini realised what she said, manik noticed it & made her turn to face him.
Manik: So u mean u enjoyed it.
Nandini: I always knew that u were wild, but seeing that wild part of urs was a very nice moment.(moving her hands round his neck).
Manik: Ohk.. so that means i will hv to bring up my wild part quite often now...
Nandini: No... 4 now u hv to find a way for me to hide this work of urs.
Nandini again turned towards the mirror, she kept her phone in her jeans pocket. Just then manik noticed her stole kept on the chair, he picked it up & made her wear it round her neck. After that he moved her hair in front, hiding that mark completely.
Manik: Now, u r ready!!
Nandini smiled at him & said,"Not yet.."
She picked up a small box from the table & asked Manik to fill her hair line.He did so & then kissed her forehead.
Nandini: So now, Dr. Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra is ready 4 her first day of work. Now u get ready, i m waiting 4 u, then we'll hv breakfast together.
Soon they had their breakfast & then Manik dropped her to the hospital. As they reached,
Manik: Now u go, all the very best & i'll come to pick u up after ur shift.
Nandini: Manik, u don't hv to come. I'll do myself.
Manik: Ohk f9... I'll send the driver.
Nandini: Manik... I cn manage myself, I'll take an auto.
Manik: Auto... Hv u lost it??
Nandini: Why?? Yesterday also I came by it only.
Manik: Wasn't the driver there?
Nandini: he was but i asked him not to come.
Manik: Listen Nandini from now onwards, either i m with u or the driver is dropping u, u won't travel by the auto it's not safe.
Nandini: Ohk Promise..
Manik smiled & then nandini was about to get down when Manik suddenly kissed her cheek.
Nandini: Manik koi dekh lega...
Manik: Arey its ur first day at work, one best of luck kiss was necessary right??
Nandini: Thank u!!
After this nandini left and manik left towards his office,i.e., Malhotra Industries. The FAB5 office work was all divided amongst Cabir, Dhruv & Mukti. Aliya only took a little part as she used to stay busy along with Sameer. Manik too wasn't involved much as he didn't had time. He just went there to sign the album papers or for the recordings, otherwise all the major decisions were taken by the others only. Manik had even secretly transferred his shares in the band on their names, as before Nandini came, all the time he was either in the Malhotra office or he prefered being alone. He just used to record the albums & write the lyrics with the others, neither did he meet the sponsers, producers or the organisers of the concerts. His focus used to be only n only in singing. He did what his friends told him.
A FEW DAYS LATER,
Life after this 4 Manik & Nandini was awesome, both were really happy together & were not even able to spend a single day without each other. They slept only after hugging each other. Sometimes Nandini would get stuck in emergencies & would work till late night, Manik always waited for her moving to & fro in his room. The first time when such a day came, Manik got restless & went to the hospital. He waited 4 her pateintly 4 a long time & then as the couple got out of the hospital at around 2am, a few reporters snapped their pictures & the next day they gathered the newspaper headlines.
That day also both of them were sleeping peacefully hugging each other. At around 8am, Nandini's phone rang. Nandini was in deep sleep, so manik picked it up without even seeing the caller name.
Manik: Hello!!
Aliya: MANIK....
Manik: Yes, Whose this???
Aliya: Manik r u still sleeping...
Manik: hmn..(in his sleep only)
Aliya: Ohh God... n where is Nandini??
Manik: In my arms....
Aliya: WHAT??
Manik:(finally in his senses) I mean she is fast asleep. What happened aliya, anything urgent..
Aliya: Yes, wake ur wife up & tell her to get ready, i'll be there in an hour.
Manik: Why??
Aliya: She knows why... And please stop asking questions.
Manik: Ohk.. See u!!
Manik turned towards Nandini & smiled seeing her face. He slowly gave her a peck on her forehead. Nandini's lips curved into a smile, she opened her eyes slowly & said,
Nandini: Good mrng... Manik...
Manik: Gud mrng!!
Nandini closed her eyes again & hugged him tight, trying to sleep a little more.
Nandini: Whats the time Manik??
Manik: 8 am...
Nandini opened her eyes & suddenly got up.
Manik: WHAT 8 am... Manik I'm late 4 work.
She was about to get up & leave when Manik held her hand & pulled her back, making her fall over him..
Manik: Nandini calm down.. Remember that u r on a 15 days leave from today.
Nandini: Ohh yes thanks for reminding me!!
Manik: By the way Aliya had called a few mins back. She asked u to get ready & told that she'll be here in an hour.
Nandini: Ohh shit, I forgot!!
Manik: What?? R u going somewhere??
Nandini: Yes but i'll tell u latr for now i m getting late...
And with this Nandini got up & rushed into the washroom. Both got ready & were sitting on the breakfast table when Aliya came.
Aliya: hey guys... gud mrng!!
Manik & Nandini: Hi Aliya!!
Nandini: Come, join us for breakfast na...
Aliya: no, i already had it with Dhruv & Sameer.
Nandini: Ohk so u wait, i'll just go n get my purse.
Nandini left her plate as it is & got up to leave when manik held her hand & made her sit again.
Manik: First hv ur breakfast properly, i m sure aliya wouldn't mind waiting for 5 mins... right aliya??
Aliya: Off course not!!
Nandini: But i m done..
Manik held her hand & started feeding her with his own hands. Aliya too sat, smiling at them. Manik made her eat properly & then left her hand.
Manik: Now do whatever u wish...
Nandini smiled & ran upwards. Within a min she returned with her purse.
Nandini: Lets go Aliya... Bye Manik see u, n yes don't forget to hv ur lunch on time.
Manik: Ohk I won't... But where is this girl gang going??
Nandini: Actually we r going 4-
Aliya: Thats none of ur bisnuss... And nandini u stop telling everything to ur husband, some things should be hidden.
Manik pulled Nandini towards himself & said,
Manik: And Aliya, u & Mukti should stop teaching wrong things to my wife..
Aliya held Nandini's hand & pulled her out waving a bye to manik. Soon they picked up Mukti & Navya. With this all the girls along with kavya & sameer went 4 shopping. They had to shop 4 nandini, as Manik & Nandini were going to leave for Paris, the next day itself. They entered the mall and started selecting cloths for Nandini. They selected a few dresses up to her knees & a few even shorter.
Nandini: Guys, Why r u selecting all such cloths 4 me... I mean a few are fine... But i m not gonna hv all short ones na, i need a few normal stuff as well.
Mukti: Nandini come on its ur honeymoon & moreover now that u hv started wearing short cloths then whats the problem. And if u hv forgotten frm the time u hv got married, not even once u hv worn anything other than saree, suits or these jeans.
Aliya: U'll see Manik's eyes poped out as he sees u like this.... Now stop thinking & go try some.
They made her try on the dresses. On the other hand, all the guys were getting restless, none of them knew where their wifes were..
Manik: Arey yr ye aliya aur mukti ki problem kya h... They hv taken Nandini's phone also from her.
Just then Cabir's phone beeped with a msg, he checked it & said,
Cabir: Bcoz no matter how much Navya gets changed, but whenever it comes to shopping she always takes my card along, so that the entire bill goes into my account... Like a typical Indian wife!!
All the others laughed out loud as cabir should a msg from the credit card company, reading some amount withdrawn at a clothing store.
Manik: But whats there to hide in it, its gud infact.
Abhi: They just do such things to irritate us, let them njoy there & lets hv our njoyment here itself.
Cabir: right!!
All of them settled down & had a gr8 time drinking, eating, singing n talking. All the girls reached back then Malhotra Mansion by 4 pm, carrying 6 to 7 bags each... As they entered they saw the guys had made the mess of the house. Cabir noticed them & said,
Cabir: Here they r!!
Abhi noticed the no. of bags & said,
Abhi: It seems u all hv bought the entire mall's stuff... Is it so??
The guys laughed at it & girls ignored it. Kavya & Sameer ran towards Manik, all the other girls kept the bags to a side & jumped over the sofas.
Aliya: God i m so tired.
Mukti: Same here..
Navya: Hume toh bas sone ka mann kar rha h..
While Nandini just smiled at them & walked inside. Manik was simply looking for her here & there when 10 mins latr, she returned carrying a tray with her. She came closer & said to Mukti,
Nandini: Have this lime water, u'll feel good..
Mukti: Ohh thanks nandini, I really needed this.
She gave the same to aliya & navya & then walked towards the kids to give them their chocolate milkshakes. She was about to go back in when Aliya said,
Aliya: Nandini, rn't u tired, come sit na.. rest 4 sometime...
Nandini: Aliya u relax... I'll be back in a few mins...
She was about to go in when Manik got up, held her hand & forcefully made her sit.
Manik: Rama, one more glass of lime water plz.. he shouted .
1 min latr the servant came out running with the tray. Manik took the glass from him & gave it to Nandini.
Manik: Drink it & then do ur work.
Abhi: Kya Nandini, u haven't understood ur husband till now...
Nandini smiled at him & had half the glass of lime water & then passed the rest to manik.
Nandini: Have this...
She turned towards Abhi & Said,
Nandini: Abhi, i knw how my husband is & thats why i'm sure that he hasn't had anything from the mrng... And thats why i m going to get lunch 4 all.
Cabir: How do u knw... See all these food plates, Manik has already had the snacks.
Nandini: Those r the plates which u all used... Manik hasn't had anything,...
Mukti: But how can u be so sure??
Nandini smiled at it & then slowly said,
Nandini: Bcoz i hvn't had anything...
Saying so Nandini got up & walked in towards the kitchen. While all the others were still digesting what she just said, Manik sat down & had the lime water which she had left for him. As he finished it & kept the glass back, mukti asked,
Mukti: Manik was it true what Nandini said??
While Manik didn't say anything, Aliya said,
Aliya: Mukti u shouldn't hving any doubt on this.
Cabir: i really can't beleive that this is out old foody manik.
Just then Nandini's voice came frm inside.
Nandini: Guys lunch is ready... Come on!!
They all had lunch after wch Aliya said,
Aliya: Nandini, lets go we'll help u pack ur bags.
Nandini: Sure!!
