TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 61

MANIK’S ROOM

Manik: Good... Let’s sleep...

Manik lay beside her... Nandini moved closer, resting her head on his chest... He encircled his arm around her...

Nandini gazed at her ring for a moment and asked...

Nandini: Manik, why did you engrave our names on the rings?

Manik: So other guys won’t dare come near you, and this ring will show you’re mine and only mine...

Nandini: And you’re mine...

She pointed to the ring on his finger with her name...

Manik: Yes...

They fell asleep within minutes...

MANIK’S ROOM - NEXT DAY, 11:30 AM

Nandini woke up and admired the sleeping Manik...

Nandini: No one would believe me if I said THE Manik Malhotra looks cute while sleeping... Even Manik wouldn’t believe it, so I need proof...

She grabbed her phone and snapped a picture of his sleeping face...

Then she leaned in, kissed his forehead... Manik smiled in his sleep...

She kissed his nose and both cheeks... As she neared his lips, she paused, thinking...

Nandini thought to herself: What if it disturbs his sleep...

As she tried to get up, Manik pulled her back, and she landed on him...

Nandini: Manik, you’re awake already...

Manik: It’s not fair that you didn’t finish what you started!

Nandini: What are you talking about...

She pretended not to know...

Manik: Oh, so you don’t know what I’m talking about?

Nandini shook her head no...

Manik: Fine, I’ll show you...

He pushed her onto the bed and came on top... He kissed her forehead, nose, both cheeks, and said...

Manik: You forgot this place...

He fused his lips with hers... Nandini’s hands went to his neck, pulling him closer... Manik deepened the kiss... After a while, they broke apart, catching their breath...

Manik: Now my morning kisses are complete, and for your kind information, I was awake when you kissed my forehead...

Nandini: What!!! You were pretending to sleep, right...

Manik: Yup... It’s my first time getting morning kisses from you, so I didn’t want to interrupt...

Nandini: Now that you got what you wanted, let me go. I’ll prepare something for us to eat...

Manik: Nandini, it’s already noon, so why don’t we get ready and go somewhere for lunch...

Nandini: Okay, but first, I need to check on my babies...

Manik: Babies?

Nandini: Mac and Smurfy...

Manik: Oh... Okay...

He let her get up, and before she left the room, she said...

Nandini: Manik, for your kind information, I’ve added a new baby to the list...

Manik: WHAT? You bought another pet, is it?

Nandini: Nahi... This time it’s a guy... I have his picture on my phone...
