I stirred a little in my sleep as light started to flash on my face. Urghh… It was morning again. I tried to move and hide my face in my pillow so that I could grab some more sleep, I felt an arm tightly wrapped around my waist. It was firm but didn’t hurt me. I didn’t have to think much to figure out that it was Manik. It was rare when I found him on my bed after waking up. A smile appeared on my face and I moved closer to him. I opened my eyes and stared at Manik’s face for a while. He looked more handsome while sleeping. I couldn’t stop the urge to peck on the mole above his lip. This mole of him was damn tempting. Only I knew how I controlled myself all the time to kiss it. It was not only sexy but a huge turn on too. Every single thing about this guy was tempting……. I was busy checking Manik out when the realization hit me that Manik was still in bed with me and it wasn't a sight that I wanted mom or dad to find out. At least, not till the time, Manik and I were ready to rev
Next morning when Nandini woke up, she had expected to find Manik beside her as her parents were not home. But like other usual days, she found the place beside her empty. She looked around the room and concluded that he was gone. She felt a little sad, thinking he could be here at least today.Nandini was about to get down from the bed when a gift caught her attention. It was placed on the side where Manik slept. A greeting card was there as well. Nandini couldn’t hold her curiosity and picked it up. At first, she opened the card and read it.“Good morning, my jaan.You’ve one complaint from me that I never took you out on a date and proposed to you. Though I was never fond of doing all these, thinking my gestures are enough for you to know my love for you. But later I realized it is import
Manik kept Nandini’s phone in her pocket and waited for Nandini to order. Once the waiter left, he looked at Nandini. He knew Nandini wanted to say something to him.“What is it, Nandini?”When Manik asked this, Nandini was not much surprised. She knew Manik would realize that she wanted to ask something."I know this flat was your birthday gift to me. But... Um... Can I ask something else too?"Manik held Nandini's hand that was on the table and caressed it lovingly. "You never have to hesitate to ask anything from me. Just say it. I can't get the moon or stars for you. But if it is in my reach, I'll try my best."Nandini smiled. She tightened the grip on his hand
NEXT MORNING Nandini was the first one to wake up. Opening her eyes, she found herself in Manik’s embrace. Manik was sleeping, holding her securely in his embrace. A smile appeared on her face. She couldn’t help caressing his hair and pecking on his nose. She admired his sleeping face for a while, finally moving out of his hold. She didn’t wake Manik up, thinking he was damn tired last night. So, she let him sleep and she went to freshen up. Coming out of the washroom, Nandini walked towards the kitchen and kept the milk boiling at a slow flame. Then she returned to their room and found Manik still in deep slumber. She came beside him and shook him slowly. “Mani… Mani… Wake up. Mani… We’ve so many things to do…. Mani… Get up….” Manik groaned and turned his face to the other side. “Tch, Nandini! Let me sleep.” “No! I don’t want to hear anything. Get up.” She pulled the duvet off hi
“Who is it, Manik?” Nandini asked when she saw him coming back. “I don’t know. A lady has come and she is saying Mrs. Malhotra called her. Did you call anyone?” Manik asked. Nandini frowned and kept the iron at one side. Suddenly she remembered something. “Oh, yes! I called for a househelp. We can’t manage everything alone after you join your office and I have to go to college as well. It slipped out of my mind.” Saying so, she headed out of the room to talk to the woman. She came to the hall, opened the door and saw the lady who was waiting for her. Seeing Nandini, the lady smiled and wished her. Nandini too wished her back. “Are you here for househelp?” Nandini asked politely. The lady nodded her head. “Yes. I was informed that you need a househelp but not regularly.” “Yeah! Actually, we won’t live here permanently, that's why we can’t keep someone for all the time. I’ll let you know whenever we stay here, you need to come then.” “No problem, Mrs. Malhotra. What’s my work?
NEXT MORNINGNandini’s slumber broke, hearing the doorbell ringing. She looked at her side where Manik was sleeping, hiding his face in the pillow. Nandini hurriedly got up and freshened up before wearing her nightdress. While descending down the stairs she realized it's the house help that they had appointed yesterday. She was confused at the beginning.She opened the door for the lady and let her in.“Here’s the stuff you need for cleaning and start from the hall.” Nandini showed her the essential things of house cleaning.“Okay, mam.” She was about to leave but Nandini stopped her.“What&rsqu
The next day Manik woke up with Nandini's constant call. He wasn't in a mood to get up but he had to. When he was about to hold her, she simply got down from the bed and started her work. He too followed her and hugged her from behind, interrupting her work intentionally. "Manik, what are you doing?" "I'm doing my work." "No, you're irritating me. Go, please." Manik made a fake shocked face. "When did I irritate you? You do your work, I'm doing mine." They had a fun banter for a while on this topic before Nandini finally managed to send Manik to take a shower. By then Saira had arrived as well. Nandini opened the door for her and she went to prepare breakfast for them. She sent Saira to clean the terrace and made herself busy in breakfast preparations. Soon she heard Manik's voice, calling her. "Nandini..... Nandini....." She was confused with the way he was calling her. She turned off the gas and ran towards their room. "What happ....." Nandini couldn't complete her words as
Nandini got ready in the dress Manik kept for her and went to the terrace as the way led there only. She roamed her eyes around the room to see it was decorated with rose petals and candles with a round table placed at the center. Soft music was being played in the background. It felt more chilled than usual. Soon her eyes stuck on the handsome face who was standing with his back facing her. He was waiting for her, looking terribly hot in that tuxedo. Reducing the distance she stood exactly behind him and before she could say anything her eyes fell where his gaze was fixed. Manik’s eyes were fixed to the sky. He was staring at the stars which were glowing in utter darkness. She sneaked her hands around his waist and placed her head over his broad back. “I love you.” Nandini whispered. Manik smiled brightly and slowly turned to look at her. Seeing the shine in her eyes, Manik was happy. Nandini wrapped her hands around his nape. Manik locked his hands around her back. “I love you t
