Manan :Irrevocably in love

Chapter 26

Manan entered manik's room and manik placed her on the bed....
Suddenly something striked nandini....

Nandini: manik I don't have my clothes here.... Mai change kaise karu and I can't sleep in these clothes...

Manik: jaan... (manik was a little hesitant to say it)

Nandini understanding his dilemma gestured him to continue through her eyes...

Manik: jaan... Mai keh raha tha ki if you are comfortable you can wear my shirt and boxers..... I know only shirt mai you won't be comfortable and my tracks will be too long for you... So tum meri shirt and boxers pehen lo...

Manik was very scared after saying this.... He felt what if nandini feels offended or hurt in any way by his this statement.... And hurting nandini was something he can't even think of in his dreams....

Nandini understanding manik's state of mind.... Held his hand... And made him sit bedside her....

Nandini: mani.... Abhi Neeche hei tumne kaha ki we have all the rights on each other... So phir why this hesitation.... I will wear your clothes mani.....with you I am the most comfortable.... And jahan tak you said about wearing only shirt... Mani it's not that ki mai tumhare saath comfortable nhi hu.... It's just that ki this everything is very new to me... So pls give me a little time to adjust...

Manik was delighted to know that they both shared such a comfort level with each other..
Manik cupped her face and said...

Manik: jaan... Tumhe jitna time chahiye you can take it.... We will just go with the flow... Hmm... Accha shona I know that you just now said ki you are comfortable with me... But still are you ok with us sleeping on the same bed... Matlab if you want toh I can sleep on the couch....

Nandini: mani.. Tumhe pata hai aaj afternoon mai the sleep I had na... Was the most peaceful and best sleep of my life..... You know why???... Because I was sleeping in your arms.... The safest and the most peaceful place for me in this whole world... So I am not that selfless to let go off my peaceful sleep... So I want to sleep in your arms only (she said the last line with a tinge of humour in it)

Manik was at loss of words seeing what he meant for her.... In his entire life people have called him a monster.. They have talked about his attitude... His money... His habit of bullying people... But nobody has ever spoken something like this.....

Manik could only utter this to express his feelings..

Manik: shona...you know na I love you...

Nandini smiled hearing it and replied...

Nandini: I know and I love you too... Chalo now I am going to change in the bathroom.... You too change her... Okay??

Manik: okay..

With this manik changed in the room itself and nandini went to change in the washroom. Manik was sitting with the support of headrest and suffering through his phone.. When he heard the sound of door being clicked open....
Manik looked up and there was standing his shona... Looking super cute in his extra large Clothes for her...

Soon nandini climbed the bed and laid down beside him..
Manik too kept his phone aside and laid bedside her...
As soon as he laid...nandini came in his embrace...

Manik kissed her and was caressing her hair.. And nandini was playing with his black thread like a baby... Sometimes rolling it on her fingers and sometimes unrolling it...

Manik: shona you know you look super cute in these clothes.... I feel like to gobble you up..

Nandini looked towards his face..

Nandini said in a kiddish way..

Nandini: haww....but baby ko khatey nhi hai..

Manik went all awe on her cuteness..

Manik: shona... I didn't knew that my baby is soo cute....

Nandini: koi tha hei nhi mani jisko mai apni babyness ya cuteness dekha sakti thi.......

Manik: ab mai hun na jaan..... Jaise maine kaha tha I want you to show me all your babyness and tantrums that you wish too..... I won't stop you shona..

Nandini: okie ( in a cute toddler voice)

Manik: shona waise toh I don't mind you wearing my clothes... But I know they are too big for you.... I don't want my baby to fall.... So hum na kal shopping chale gey... And now that you will stay here quite often... I will arrange a whole new wardrobe for my baby here...

Nandini: but mani..I have clothes at home na...usmai se thode se I will bring here and kept it....

Manik: no shona... Voh clothes wahin rehne do na... I want to shop for my baby and that is all... Hum kal shopping pe chale gey and will get a wardrobe arranged over here.. Okay...

Nandini: okay....

Both were silent for some time Laying in each other's arms....

Finally breaking the silence.. Nandini spoke something that he never thought she will get to know....
