A year! A freaking long year! A lot has changed in this one year. Manik was not the same anymore. His life has changed 180 degrees since the night Nandini left. He has become even more workaholic but amidst all this he has started respecting relations. Now he realised the value of the people around him and tried to value them from his heart.  He knew every person's name who works in his office and house. They still didn't see him as he was not ready to come out of his shell but now they could reach to him any time and speak to him. He didn't get angry like before though he was still very serious about work. But for a change he has started to make them understand their mistakes calmly. Manik wa

"I missed you, Nandini. I missed you. I missed us. I love you, Nandini. I really love you." Nandini couldn’t believe her own ears, if what she heard was correct. She was not in her senses properly to process what he just spoke. She was looking at him without blinking.  “You heard it right, I love you. I realized how much I’m in love with you when you left me. I looked for you everywhere only to know the truth and tell you about my feelings.” Nandini was still in a trance.  Manik kissed on her forehead. Then he trailed a path of wet kisses on her hands and she just closed her eyes. She always wanted him to be with her, she wanted him to love her. Feeling him so close to

“I’m going to meet mom, dad. I’m here in Atlanta, so what’s wrong in meeting her? Whatever happened between you two was years ago.”  “As you wish, I’m not going to stop you. Do what makes you happy and Nandini…” “Please, dad. I don’t want to speak about her right now.” “Fine. Take care, son.” “Bye, dad.” David sighed, keeping the phone. He knew Manik found Nandini, also how she refused to return her and he couldn’t blame Nandini at all for this. Manik was not at fault as well. He got the fear of falling in love, about relationships seeing them only.  

"Mayan, say goodbye to your mommy."   "NO!" Nandini shouted. "Leave me. Don't go."   "Goodbye, Nandini."   "Please, Manik. Don't go. Give my son back to me. I beg you." Nandini cried trying to free her hands.   Manik stopped. “Then marry me, Nandini. Then everything will be sorted.”   “I’ll. I’ll do whatever you’ll ask me to. But don’t snatch Mayan, my son from me. Please.” She started crying loudly.   Manik freed her hands and handed over Mayan to her. Nandini held Mayan close to her heart and k

Ever since we came back from Atlanta, Mayan and Manik bonded really well. The father-son duo was quite similar to each other. Mayan enjoys his father’s company a lot. When he is with Manik, he even forgets me. It makes me feel jealous. We had our dinner and Manik spent some time with Mayan before placing him to sleep.    “Should we continue what we left incomplete that time? What do you think?”    Manik winked at me and pulled me closer to him holding my waist. Maybe he was right, right now all I could think about was how good the wine tasted on his tongue. I joined our lips for a kiss, pulling him to my level.    He groaned as I bit his lower lip. His hands held my waist tightly as we kissed. I didn't hesitate to push the jacket off him, not caring where it fell. Manik wa
