A deal

chp 14

Ma: bye guys m going to office... (bidding bye to everyone he picked up his bag car keys wallet and marched towards the door)

Mu: manik wait u hadnt eaten anything.......

N: yeah wait for 5 min.....m packing food for u

Ma: no need nandini.....m already very late...don't worry i will.eat sth in office....now bye (he again said gud bye and went away in hurry)

Mu: ufff this guy iski abhi tak ye adat nhi gye......

Nandini and mukti were sitting on living room discussing about random stuff i.e of girls interest... (shopping 🙄🙄🙄) when mukti saw the time and said....

Mu: nandini manik hadnt eaten anything in breakfast..lets make sth for him and then u can go to his office at lunch time.....they went to kitchen and started arranging things on counter....

Mu: what is the thing he likes to eat now.....

Nandini stared at her for a moment not knowing how to ans the question......manik and nandini they started talking normally a week ago and they weren't bonded so well to know about eachothers liking and disliking....their was much more for them to talk rather than talking about stuff like that.....

N (in mind) : shit we shòuld have talked about it.....now what will i say to mukti....damn she will get to know about everything

Mukti who was observing every action of hers imediately came to know  that she didnt know about his favourite food.....surprised she was but she let it go and said

Mu: ohhh doesn't matter wese bhi he luvs every type of food....the things matters to him is that it should be food  (she joked making nandini smile.... later they prepared lunch while gossiping and they luved the session....mukti told nandini about maniks mischeives which he had done in childhood)

After that nandini got ready and went to his office.....she reached his office and asked about manik.....peon informed her that manik was busy and guided her towards his room.......she entered the room and his body's fragrence filled her nostrils and she inhaled a deep breath to smell it......she observed every corner of office room keenly...it was her first time entering his office as his wife....she smiled  fully when thought of being his wife striked her mind....she thought about the convo they had in this office...how badly she behaved and he was so nice that he never taunted about that even in joke..his respect grew more in her heart  ...every thing in his office was properly arranged..she sat on the chair and found a cute family picture of manik mukti and daadi.....she picked up the frame and started adoring the beautiful family.....it was about half an hour and still their was no sign of manik ....she yawned sitting at the sofa......everything was boring for her at that time and in that position she slept waiting for her husband.....

After a hectic meeting manik and cabir exited from the conference hall and started discussing about it in a light matter.....maniks stomach was growling and he was planning to eat sth as soon as possible.....they were about to enter their floor when the receptionist called manik....they both stopped and went near him.....

Receptionist: manik sir ur wife is waiting for u in ur room

Manik experienced biggest shock of his life and he moved a step back while opening his mouth and eyes wide...cabir looked at manik and then at receptionist...then he looked back at manik and slapped his chin to close his mouth.....

Ma: r u saying that MY WIFE is waiting in the room (putting stress on word MY WIFE

Receptionist: yes sir she is here from past 1 hr

Ma (self thought) kahe ise bhi to pta nhi chal gya ke mjhe mere bv lift nhi karwate.....is he making fun of me

Ma: kia mera tmhara mazaq hai (he asked to which receptionist shook his head immediately) to phir ayenda aisa mazaq mera sath na karna (he growled while glaring at him)

Receptionist: mene kia kia (wondering )

Cabir pulled manik along with him laughing and said

C: wese manik it was gud one (he said laughing)

Manik punched him in return and said shutup

C: tere bhi kia zindagi hai manik.....shaadi hoke bhi bachelor's life guzar rha

Ma: dont u think its better than messaging ur wife's feet every night b4 going to bed cabirrr (he smirked)

C: ohhh wo to I care for her too much tbhi i do that

Ma: yeah right 🙄🙄🙄

Manik entered the office room after pushing cabir towards his room....as soon as he entered he found lunch box placed on the table.....wondering who placed it he went towards the table....as he proceeded more inside the room manik found someone sitting on sofa and he got the shock when he found that she was actually nandini......he went towards her and found her eyes closed and leaning towards one side of sofa in sleep........awwww she slept while waiting for him...... he made her lie down on sofa comfortably and adored her cute bubbly face.......nandini stirred in sleep and manik immediately moved away with intention to not disturb her sleep......then he looked at her feet and found her wearing shoes ...he bent down and unhooked lock of her sandles b4 removing them........(their convo (of cabir and manik) echoed in his ears...how he made fun of her and after few minutes he was sitting in his wife's feet removing her shoes but he shook his head and completed his work...after that he sat on the stool and said

Ma: aaj cabir was laughing at me talkimg about our relation........i wish we will have such type of relation jahan mjhe poochna na pare tmse b4 luving u or expressing my luv towards u.....abhi to mjhe touch karne se bhi dar lgta hai kahe tmhe bura na lg jaye (he said sadly...then he got up and started doing his work after eating some biscuits as he wanted to eat lunch with her)

After 20 mins she stirred in sleep when she heard the sound of door opening..cabir had actually came to call manik as they were going for lunch but as soon as he saw nandini his eye balls were out of socket and he munbled in shock

C: wo sach keh rha tha (manik put finger on his lips indicating him to stop speaking.....after that they went out of room and that was the moment which broke nandinis sleep...she rubbed her eyes and looked here and there...maniks laptop was there on the table shit manik came back and here m sleeping.... she thought.......she then placed her feet on floor and realised she wasn't wearing the shoes.....smiling she went to washroom thinking that it must be manik who removed her shoes....she was embarassed at it also but still it was cute no doubt.....she came back and checked the food in lunch box was present as still....she starred arranging things on table and heard click sound of door opening and a happy manik appeared

N: m so sorry....idk how i slept.....u must be hungry subha se tmne kuch nhi khaya

Ma: no no its completely alright......

They were eating lunch together when manik asked nandini that how come she thought about visiting him to which she replied

N: u left the house without eating anything so mukti di gave me this idea......manik m sorry mukti di asked me About ur fav food and i didnt know about it.....

Ma: sorry ki kia baat hai...its not sth that imp

N: u r hiding everything from ur family bcz of me and here m doing mistakes and mistakes

Ma: nandini its oky(holding her hand) u know what whether u admit it or not u r my family and its not bad thing to hide sth about ur family.......yeah i know their r some problems in our relation but i believe we will definitiely get thru this.......(comforting her in a way that no one else could do)

N: u r so gud aur mene tmhe kia kia nhi kha  .... (a drop of tear fell from her eye due to embarrassment  guilty she was feeling)

Ma: its okay (he smiled patting her cheek)

And then manik thru his magical talk diverted her attention from that topic and they started eating their food in happy mood
