TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 54

IN CAR

Nandini: Toh, Mr. Santa Manik Malhotra, where’s my gift?

Nandini asked playfully, but Manik took something out and placed it in her hand...

Nandini: Why are you giving me a car key?

Manik: It’s the key to your new car, Nandini, a gift from your very own Santa!!! (Manik winked)

Nandini: NEW CAR? Why buy a car when I already have one, Manik!

Manik thought to himself: Expected reaction!

Manik removed the beard and Christmas hat...

Nandini: Obviously, I’ll react like this, na, my car is still in good condition, so why did you waste money buying a new one!

Manik: Nandini, why are you so different?

Nandini looked confused...

Manik: I mean, most girlfriends are demanding and ask their boyfriends to buy them things, but you never ask me for anything. Even when I buy you something, you ask why I wasted money!!!

Nandini: Toh, what should I do if I’m different... In fact, you should be happy, right, that I’m not a typical wali girlfriend who loves to empty her boyfriend’s bank balance...

Manik: Yeah, that’s what makes me fall for you even more...

Manik pulled her closer, and Nandini was about to smile when she realized he was changing the topic... She pushed him back...

Nandini: Manik, don’t try to change the topic... Why did you buy a car when I already have one!

Manik decided to explain...

Manik: Nandini, I know you have a car, but Amms uses public transport to go to school, right? So, I thought you could give your car to Amms, and you can use the one I gifted you!!! This way, Amms won’t need public transport anymore, and it’ll be easier for her, right?

Nandini understood his reasoning... She hugged him happily, and Manik hugged her back...

Nandini: You know, they’re right... I’m so lucky to have you in my life... Since I was young, after my parents’ death, it was just me and Amms supporting each other, but now we have you!!!

Manik: Exactly, like I have both of you...

Nandini broke the hug and continued...

Nandini: But I’m not doing anything for you, na, to make you feel special...

Manik realized she meant she couldn’t buy him expensive things like he did for her...

Manik: Nandini, what you give me is priceless, and no one can buy it with money... You’ve given me love, which I was deprived of since childhood... You’ve given me happiness I didn’t even realize I’d lost... You’ve given me so many beautiful moments... So, don’t you dare say you haven’t done anything for me!!!

Nandini: I LOVE YOU, MANIK!

Manik: I LOVE YOU TOO!

Manik hugged Nandini passionately... They stayed like that for a while...

Manik: Okay, Nandini, let’s go back; it’s getting late, and I’m sure Amms might be worried about you!

Nandini broke the hug and said...

Nandini: Yes, she used to worry about me, but now, when she knows I’m with you, na, she doesn’t worry!

Manik: Really? That shows how much she trusts me. Tell her I’ll never break her trust...
