Four Marriages

Chapter 1

Manik's POV

I made her seat in the passenger seat and took the driving seat. She tried all her way to talk but I was way to irritate to even budge. We reached home and I straightly went to kitchen to have water to calm me down but that didn't help me so I thought to go to gym for workout.

While I was going to gym I was pulled by my wifey in my room. She pinned me to the door. "And where do you think you are going Mr. Malhotra?" She asked tracing my jawline with her index finger.

Oh so she will manofy me lets see what does she have in store for me.!

I jerked her hand away and walked straight to my wardrobe to take change. I removed my blazer and felt her nearing me. I pretended to not know and started to removed the tie when I felt two tiny arms slowly and seductively tracing my chest up and her head rested to my back. I was feeling the moment "Manik you know today is our wedding night then why are you so angry?" oh yes I am angry. I mean I have to pretend to be angry. Very very angry.!

I jerked her hand and started to move to washroom but she held my wrist. I stopped and she came and took my change and threw them to bed. I glared and her and made my way to bed, took my change and turn around only to find her standing few inches away from me with a naughty smile "Let me help you change Manik" she said in a really seductive tone all the while moving her fingers from my neck to my chest making me almost give up on my pretend but no I have to be strong and be angry. Yes angry!

This bold side of her is rare and I will definitely enjoy it to my fullest. Which means I have to keep up with my façade of being angry. Okay think of something bad like losing a deal worth millions. Yes that got me a little angry.. someone trying to steal my album songs.. that got me more angry.. someone trying to steal nandini from me.. what the hell???I wont let that happen ever and now I am definitely angry.

I was so lost in getting angry that I didn't realize nandini has completely unbuttoned my shirt and was now about to remove it. I have to be angry. Yes. So I like a complete jerk removed her hand and went to washroom to change.

Inside washroom I readied myself for shower. I turned on the shower and stood under it. I let my mind wander to the day when Nandini dropped the bomb about four marriages.

About 1 month ago

"I want four marriages" nandini dropped the nuclear bomb

Silence

"What" exclaimed the family members. But I just stared at her wondering what's going on in her mind. She was like an open book to me and would never hesitate to voice out her opinion. I always admired her thinking. She is always positive about everything in my life.

After the ridiculous or rather earth shaking declaration made by nandini I knew there was a big turmoil inside her head and I knew she wanted to talk. So I excused us from the living room and took her to their roof top, the place where she finds peace.

I didn't utter a word I knew she will tell me on her own. So I was walking beside her holding her hand giving her the much needed time.

"Manik sorry if I offended you or something but I WANT TO HAVE FOUR MARRIAGES WITH YOU" After what felt like eternity she exclaimed probably frustrated with her own thoughts. I understand she must be holding it all the while. I cursed myself for not figuring out that she was in turmoil all this while.

"Nandini I am sorry I couldn't read you. Its just that I was excited to marry you and want to be a part of every preparation of it. so I couldn't read you. I am so sorry baby" I literally felt like jerk for neglecting her.

"No manik its not your fault. I was just overwhelmed with all the thoughts" she tried shooing away the guilt that I felt.

"Nandini tell me whats wrong? What is these four marriages" I asked felling utterly confused.

"Manik I want to get married to you in Indian Traditional way, in Sikhism way, in Mughal way, and in Christian way" she said all these while looking in to my eyes.

"What? why I mean.." I asked more confused than I was before. I am sure one day she will be the death of me with all this ridiculous ideas of her.

I held her eyes still trying to see through her because I still can't understand what she is trying to say. She must read me so she continued

"Manik its just my wish. Please tell me will you fulfill my wish" now that was the biggest thing. No matter what we do or say, or how mad I was at her. I can never and I repeat never can deny her wish. After all she ruled my heart just as much as I rule her.

"Nandini you don't have ask me. I was anyway going to agree on it. It's just that I fail to understand the need behind these four marriage" I said to her. Obviously I was going to agree to her wish but seriously four marriages and what's with the all the religion stuff.

"okay so manik you agree to all these four marriage right?" nandini asked trying to get assurance.

"Ofcourse Sweetheart. But still I want to know the reason behind it." I asked because I know nandini is not just some girl who would do anything recklesslt or without thinking. She must have a big reason behind this idea of her.

"Manik It's just my wish. I really wanted to be yours in every means, be it by soul, body, heart, mind or religion." Such pure words laced in her unbounded love for me till eternity made my heart skip several beats. I was dumbstruck with her reason and like umpteenth time wondered just how much more does she love me, how did I got so lucky have her in my life.

All my life I have craved for only one thing love. Never having a father all my life was itself painful but my step mother left no stone unturned to make my life hell. I always wondered what it was like to be loved but after meeting nandini everyday I felt myself answering the question that this is what it felt like to be loved.

Tears pooled in my eyes at such a heartwarming gesture. I hide my face in my hands trying to control the whirlwind of emotions that I am feeling right now. No one has ever thought so much about me. Not even my friends. FAB5.

I felt her hand remove my hand from my face.

"Manik please, you know I hate when you have tears in your eyes. one tear in your eyes is enough to question my existence."Nandini said caressing my hair soothing giving me all the comfort. See that why I said she rules my heart. I always wonder how can she love such a monster like me.

I cant handled it anymore. I hugged her tightly

"Nandini I cant describe how loved I feel. I always craved for it and when you came in my life you gave me it in so much abundance that it always feels like I am dreaming." I poured my heart to her. This side of me is very rare. Only exclusive to her.

"Nandini I promise we will get married as per your wish I will make sure everything goes according to your wish" I said feeling elated and determined to fulfill her wish with all my heart.

"Thank you manik. You are the best I love you" she said hugging me.

I hugged her more tightly and replied "I love you more"

Tearing apart I gazed at her eyes, drowning in her pool of ocean that held so much love for me. My gaze shifted to her lips and I cant take it anymore. I pinned her to nearest wall and captured her lips for a soul searing kiss. I was pouring my emotion in this kiss all the while remembering her words, her reason behind marrying me that too for four times. I love this angel. I feel all the more proud and elated that all this love is only more me. Just me.
