Unknown Desires (a romantic comedy MaNan FF) (Completed)

Chapter Eighteen: Hangover

Morning,Malhotra Mansion,Nandini's room,
Manik and Nandini were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. Manik opened his eyes slowly and smiled affectionately at Nandini who was still asleep. He caressed her face gently and kissed on top of her head. He realized that he was having a heavy feeling on his head. "Oh last night, what did I drink? My head hurts" thought Manik as he got up from the bed and went to his room.

After gulping down an aspirin and taking a shower he was feeling much better. He decided to jog around a bit in the garden. 
After returning from the jogging he found Nandini sitting on the dining table, she was holding her head in pain. "Hey Nandini, kya hua?" he asked.

"I don't know my head is paining so much" said Nandini.

Manik asked the servant to get a black coffee. Nandini was having the black coffee when she asked "Manik...kal raat ko kya hua tha? I can't remember anything" said Nandini.

Manik pulled the chair beside her and sat down "I also can't remember anything but this morning we were on the same bed and I was half naked" said Manik.

Nandini choked on the coffee. He smiled mischiviously and rubbed her back till she was ok. She removed his hand from her back and looked at him with an irritated expression.

"Ab gussa hoke kya faida, tum toh mujhe janti ho, I can't control myself around you, so last night zarur kuch hua hai" said Manik casually as he looked at her.

"Aisa..kuch nahi hua hoga. I am sure, u r just trying to tease me" said Nandini as she went to her room and Manik wondered "Aakhir kal raat hua kya tha".

At college, Mukti was sitting at the corner of the canteen.Aliya and Dhruv joined her. Mukti tried to fake a smile but they knew that something was not right. Dhruv whispered to Aliya "Harshad nei kuch kia kya?" he asked.

Aliya became angry "tum sab log humesha bhai ko kyo blame karte ho? He is such a nice person. I am sure uss Nandini nei kuch bola hoga Mukti ko" uttered Aliya.

"Stop it guys, I am fine..mujhe kisi ka band bajana hai and don't utter anything about Nandini she is very sweet" told Mukti and Aliya clenched her fist in anger.

At the music room, "kya hua? Akele mei kyo milna hai?" asked Manik.

"Ha jija ji apke paas ab time kaha hai?" replied Cabir.

Manik felt a bit shy by hearing the word jija "aisa kyo bol raha hai" he told.

"Puri story complete vi ho gayi aur tum dono nei mujhe kuch bataya vi nahi...dost dost na raha" said Cabir as he faked to wipe tears from his eyes.

"Koi story nahi hai, I love her but she is still confused. She feels scared to come close to me" said Manik sadly as he sat down on a chair and ran his hand over his hair.

Cabir touched his friend's shoulder “don’t be sad when Cabir is here, I will help you win her heart. Nandini bohat shy types hai and Mr.Manik Malhotra ki reputation toh thoda uljha hua hai..so it needs time but eventually ho jayega" said Cabir.

"Ho jayega nah?" asked Manik in confusion and Cabir laughed "wah Nandu, tu toh super hai! The great Manik Malhotra ko tension mei dal dia? I'm proud of u, behna" said Cabir. Manik punched him on the belly "saale, aukad.mei rah" said Manik.

At the locker room,
Nandini was keeping her books when Navya entered “tum aisa karogi humne kabhi nahi socha tha? Tumhare aur Manik kei beech itna sab kuch ho raha hai and tumne hume bataya vi nahi” said Navya with an upset voice.

Nandini went close to her friend “Navya, aisa kuch nahi hai, wait I will tell you the whole story” said Nandini and Navya listened carefully.

“Oh toh yeh baat hai! Oh Manik ka baccha majnu banke tumhare peeche para hai” said Navya.

“But it’s not love Navya, its just a physical attraction that we feel towards each other and after a certain time, Manik will not like me anymore. He will leave me alone tab mera kya hoga, I will not be able to take the pain” said Nandini softly.

Navya felt the emotions of her friend “tum fiqar mat karo, hum dono milke kuch solution naikalenge” said Navya as she and Nandini hugged each other.

At Parking, Manik was waiting for Nandini beside his car when Nandini and Navya came there. “Kabsei wait kar raha hu? Ghar nahi jana?” asked Manik.

“Nahi jaana, mom ka phone aya tha today is Friday so for the next two days I am going to stay at my mom’s place” announced Nandini.

Manik became sad by hearing that. Cabir noticed the sad face of his friend and came to Manik. “Arreh, bas 2 days ki baat hai, you know how sadu your saas is! Chal aj hum milke party karenge” said Cabir, Manik smiled a little and they headed towards Manik’s place.

Night, Moorthy’s Residence, Hall room,
“Kitnei dino kei baad apni bacchi ko dekh rahi hu” said Nandini’s mom as she hugged her daughter. “Uff Mom, ab kitni baar ek hi baat bologi, itna pyaar ata hai mujhpe toh shadi kyo karva di meri” complained Nandini.

“Uss incident ko shadi ka name mat dei, bohat jaldi uss unwanted bandhan sei azad karva dungi mai, woh Manik kisi vi tarah se tere layak nahi hai” said Nandini’s mom angrily.

Suddenly Nandini noticed Manik from the window, he was standing at the garden and was making gestures for her to come out. “Aiyappa agar, kisi nei isko dekh liya toh tamasha ho jayega, mai bhaga ke ati hu isko” thought Nandini.

“Ma, mai zara ek call karke ati hu” said Nandini as she went outside.

At the Garden,
“Kya hai? Mujhe pareshan karne ka koi mauka nahi chorte tum, aise kyo karte ho? Ab kyo aye ho yaha?” Nandini was rebuking him but he was looking at her intently and was smiling like he was seeing the most beautiful thing in the world.

“Aiyappa, yeh kuch bol kyo nahi raha? Pagal toh nahi ho gaya” thought Nandini.

“Aur bolo na, chup kyo ho gayi” said Manik dreamily.

“Mai koi gana ga rahi hu jo accha lage ga, listen ab tum jao yaha sei, bye” said Nandini as she turned to leave but Manik held her hand and pulled her in his arms, making her breathless. As she came in contact with his body and inhaled hi scent Nandini lost all control over herself. She kept looking at those hazel brown eyes “Aiyappa he is so handsome, I just feel like touching him and being in his arms all the time” thought Nandini. His arm slid down then his finger tangled with her hair.

He smiled lightly "I can't help it. I don't want it to go away. I don't want to let go of you." he said.

Nandini felt goose bumps in her skin as his hand slowly travelled to her waist, she decided to break free, but he clutched the fabric of her dress so tightly that when he pulled, it just tore. Nandini was about to yell but he put his hand on her mouth.

“Kaun hai waha? Nandu?” yelled Nandini’s chachi. Manik carried Nandini in his arms and ran to his car. “koi nahi hai, shayad maine galat dekha” said Chachi as she went inside.

Manik threw Nandini at the backseat of his car; he too got beside her and locked the door. “Now, this is the height of madness! Manik let me go” yelled Nandini as she struggled in his arms.

Manik looked at her with a smirk on his lips “do you have any idea that these actions of yours are only turning me on” he winked. Nandini immediately stopped struggling and bit her lips. She was speechless for the moment. Manik ran his hand to the torn part of her top; making her breathless. He could see the red mark there that was caused due to his fingers. He bent down and kissed on her waist, Nandini shut her eyes tightly “don’t...” she uttered in a weak voice. He was in no mood to stop, he pulled the top up to her belly and kissed her so softly that he was kissing a rose petal. Nandini winced and held his face. He reached up to meet her eyes. “Nandini, why are you looking at him like that, tell him to unlock the door, push him” thought Nandini. But instead of pushing him she ended up in removing a bang of hair from his temple. He smiled mischievously “see, you can’t resist me” he winked. Nandini came into her senses “just unlock the door, I have had enough” she told angrily. “Hmm, it’s not enough, but I will let you go for now” said Manik mischievously. Nandini felt her cheeks going red but she gathered herself and ran out of there. “Oh God! It was intense” said Manik as he sighed and ran his hand over his hair.
