A deal

chp 21

At morning

Manan were getting ready to leave for the village.....manik was spreading peanut butter on bread while nandini was pouring tea for both of them.....their was a special glow on their faces........manik was constantly looking at her angelic face making her nervous.....she immediately asked trying to remove his constant gaze off her face

N: manik sugar (referring to  cup of tea)

Ma: tmne apna hatho se bnaye hai chai.....sugar ki to zaroorat hi nhi (he said adoring her while palming his face making nandini blush)

Nandini looked at him while he winked at her making her lower her head saying

N: kia hua hai aaj tmhe

Ma: nasha (he spoke huskily) tmhara nasha (he said while leaning more on table)

N: breakfast karo chup kar ke (she said sitting on chair while picking a bread hiding her blush)

Ma: logo ki biviyan kush hoti hai aise cmnts mein aur 1 tm ho (🙄🙄🙄🙄)

While she laughed at his cmnt and pinched his cheek.........they ate their breakfast and then manik was helping nandini in cleaning the kitchen

N: manik 1 baat pocho

Ma: haan pocho

N: tmhe kal itna ghussa kyon aya tha.....i mean isse phle bhi to mein guards ke bghar jati rhte hn......kuch hua kia........u were worried (in concerned tone)

Ma: ummmmm nhi kuch nhi hua tha (he stuttered flabbergasted at her question) m the head of family aur tm ne mere baat nhi maani thi isi liye ghussa agya mjhe (trying to cover up)

N: huh (a part of her was not ready to believe what he said) she turned around while manik stared at her back with guilty......

Noticing no movement in him she moved her fingers infront of his face bringing him back

N: hey Mr khan gum the (hands on her hips she asked in inquisitive manner)

Ma: ummmmm nhi kahe nhi (cmng bacm to reality...he moved his hand on forehead)

N: chalo phir ye plates phir wahan rkho (thrusting the plates in his hands she said authoritatively pointing her finger at rack while he couldn't stop himself from glaring at her authoritative way and she answered with a cheeky smile pushing him a little)

They atlast started their journey.....the whole journey manik continued cracking jokes making nandini laugh till her stomach ache and tears flowed from her eyes.....manik looked at her listening her fruity laughter and the scene of her laughing so much at his joke was so mesmerizing that for a moment he forgot that he was driving and get lost in his beautiful wife with his lips stretched into a beautiful smile making him more handsome..........they both straightened themselves at the loud sound of car honking.......manik's grip on steering tightened as he took a sharp turn to save the car from accident

N: manik be careful....where were u lost (she panicked)

Ma: wo m....umm m sorry (he said getting embarrased)

N: no its okay (putting hand on his shoulder) i think u need some rest......stop the car lemme drive it for sometime
