Nandini was restless; from the happenings around her to the possibility of happenings in the future.

Well, why won't she be, afterall the person who has caused a lot of trouble in her life is back once again. And this time it's worse since Manik is not on her side like the past.

"He didn't lose his memory but he lost the thinking ability." Nandini gritted her teeth as she lashed out on the poor painting hanging on the wall.

Why must the Bullock Cart still be alive?

She thought this for the nth time. Though her thoughts were not in any way trying to harm Harshad she found the only solution to his exit is his death.

Alas! That didn't happen and he is back into the mansion as a person in comatose stage.

"That Bullock Cart! He dare to challenge me by pretending to be in a coma. Let me free and I will make sure he will never wake up from that stage." The poor painting once again stood as a witness to her outburst.

Manik who has failed to console his wailing mother stepped back and walked to his bedroom with a gloomy face. He dropped his jacket on the floor casually and was about to remove his vest as well but stopped when his eyes fell over the ball of sunshine.

Nandini's self talk was amusing him and the way she was scolding him through the means of the giant potrait of him was more fascinating.

All of his burden of dejection received from his mother vanished into the thin air as he concentrated only on her, his wife.

The thought that Nandini Murthy is now his wife snapped him out of all his thoughts as he went back to his usual self.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned crossing his arms over his chest.

If it was any other time Nandini would be drooling over her husband's strong muscles exposed from his sleeves vest but now she is boiling in anger and nothing would tempt her.

"You are a dumb Bull." She snapped at him without caring his words.

"You mean dumbbell?"

"No. I meant DUMB BULL. Your brother is a Bullock Cart and you are the dumb bull."

"Why are you against Harshad getting into the mansion?" He questioned.

"Because he is a Bullock Cart and you are the dumb bull. Your mother is the whip and Cabir is dung. And I am the stupid human sitting inside." She threw the pillow at Manik who easily dodged it.

Manik took a deep breath not getting a legible answer from her. "What am I even expecting from this immature girl."

"I am a woman, Manik." She threw another pillow at him.

"I doubt it with your stupid behaviour. Now get out of this room and stop irritating me."

"I am not dying to stay inside this room after you allowed that Bullock Cart into this mansion. And how could you ask me to go away infront of everyone without listening to me?"

"Because that's an important topic and you need not interfere." Manik replied.

"That topic concerns me too, Manik. I don't want him to be in this mansion."

"Why? Give me the reason instead of your blabbering." He gave her the chance to explain.

"Blabbering? Ofcourse, you will understand the Bullock Cart drama of being in a coma but you won't understand your wife's pain."

"I am giving you last chance to give your reasons, Nandini. Don't irritate me."

"Last chance? Manik really, now I have to take chances to even speak with you. Why is nobody understanding me? He harmed us by being friend with the enemies and you are letting him inside this mansion?"

"You are not making any sense right now. Do you think it's a funny game to create a story? My mother was right..."

His words pressed the wrong button. "Right about what? That I am half wit?"

"No. That I have to keep you away from the important matters and keep it confidential."

Nandini chuckled. "Woah! Manik open your eyes, she is clearly trying to separate us so that she could protect her Bullock Cart."

"Separate us? There is no us, snap out of your fairytale."

Nandini understood that Manik won't trust her as he still sees her as that stupid kid she was when she met him. If this continues the day won't be so far when Manik believes Niyonika's words and kick her out.

She didn't spare another glance at him and walked out of the room and went back to her room.

This is how she is and why can't he accept that? Infact, she has improved a lot since the last time he met. But No, the man must be stubborn and replay the same day in his head.

She just wished Manik would sit beside her and give atleast an hour to explain things peacefully instead of asking one word answers.

A knock on the door snapped her sulking face into something hopeful. "Finally you are here." She opened the door expecting it to be Manik.

But to her disappointment it was Kay, the designer. "Hey pumpkin!" His cheery welcome was not accepted on the other side raising suspicion. "What happened?"

"What else is left? Bullock Cart is at home. Niyonika is twisting things according to her wish. And Manik... let me not start with it. He doesn't even care about my opinions." Nandini stomped on her feet in anger.

"Boss doesn't care about your opinion? How?"

Nandini rubbed the back of her neck as she spoke, "he thinks I am still that immature 18 year old girl whom he met years ago."

Kay chuckled.

Nandini glared at him and he covered his mouth but still chuckled.

"I am sorry but it's hilarious that you are flaring over such a tiny incident."

"Tiny? Tiny you said, Kay?"

"Calm down first, Pumpkin. This a easy and very easy issue. Prove him that you are not that 18 year old girl he knew." He said casually.

"How? Should I bring my birth registration to count the years? But everything is burnt in my mansion. How do I prove it?"

Kay slapped his forehead with her answer. "Why must you always think with your brain? Sometimes you have to think with your..."

His words were incomplete as Nandini finished it for him. "Heart? I know it."

"No. With boobs." He answered rolling his eyes.

"What?" Nandini shrieked.

"Yes. Boobs and Ass and waist and legs and thighs and cleavage and collar bone and lips and eyes and the list goes on and on." Kay shook his head. "Ah! I am so jealous of you all women for having such beautiful features."

Nandini was still in shock with his first word about thinking with boobs and the rest did not even make sense to her oversmart mind.

"Kay, I didn't know we can think with the other external organs. Oh my! If I start using all these parts I will be the number 1 smart person in the world." She clapped in excitement.

"Ah! Pumpkin, what shall I do with you. Anyways, you will start understanding as things progress in your life." He shook his head. "First of all, stop wearing this hoodie and wear the night dress I designed for you as a sleepwear."

Nandini tucked the hair behind her ears. "Well, these days I am sneaking to sleep in Manik's room and that dress is kinda short to wear infront of him."

Kay scrunched his nose. "But you used to wear frocks shorter than these?"

"Well, it was different."

"How is it different?"

"I don't know how to say but it's different when I wear short clothes infront of Manik. Now. Especially after our marriage." A dark tint rose on her ears and Kay clapped his hands as if he won the competition.

"Exactly. This proves that you were not that 18 year old he knew. Now wear this every single night from now and he will be accepting the truth soon, very soon."

"Really? Only with a dress? Did you stitch that I am 24 year old or something like that on back of my dress?" Nandini questioned with suspicion.

"How come you get such different questions? I have done nothing like that, trust me, things will change the more you listen to me and wear my designed clothes." Kay made a dramatic blessing sign with his hands over Nandini's head. "I will make sure Manik and Nandini becomes one forever and ever."

Though Nandini understood little from what he spoke she believed him as he is the only person still rooting for Manik and Nandini's pairing. As soon as Kay left her room, Nandini changed into the nightdress which she wore last night too.

Last night, she was free and didn't had a second thought to wear it. But what changed in her life that she is feeling shy to walk in this dress infront of Manik?

"Manik will make me crazy one day for sure." She thought as she took timid steps and entered the bedroom from the garden door.

Manik is still in his sleeveless vest when he lifted the glass of water to drink. His strong biceps curled and his Adams apple moved as he gulped down the water making him more attractive for her innocent eyes.

Manik coughed on the last sip as he saw her in his room in that barely covering clothes over her slender frame.

"Ya, why don't you wear something appropriate for your age?"

"What do you mean? I am 24 and we dress like this." She shrugged.

"You are either 2 or 4 not 24." He said putting the glass down on the table.

"Ah! I need someone to stitch my stomach as it cracked while laughing for your joke." She sarcastically replied and he sighed.

After a long moment of silence Nandini spoke out loud. "This is the last time I am warning you, Manik. Stop treating me like underage person. I am a woman."

"What's this? Did someone teach you how to speak now?"

Her thoughts were on the scenario which happened a few minutes ago. Manik was drinking water when she came into the room which means he took his sleeping pills already. He will be in a deep sleep in no time. She will take advantage of that situation now.

Nandini smirked and slowly walked towards him taking her much needed time. "Yes. It was you who taught me some things and I am going to show you. Well, I thought we could go with a basic level but you have pressed the wrong button and you will be getting the advanced level."

Manik frowned at her innocent baby steps as they were stirring something in him. "Ya, why are you walking like that? And what levels are you speaking?"

Nandini smirked seeing Manik nervous. "Kiss. I am going to kiss you on the highest level which will numb your mind, body and soul. Get ready for it, Manik."

Before he could react Nandini wrapped her slender arms over his shoulder and stood on the tip of her toes to match his height. She pulled his head down and placed her lips over his as butterflies erupted in her stomach. She sucked his lower lip and tightened her hold over him as her legs were becoming like jelly.

Getting no response from him she used the trick which Manik used on her before their marriage. She rolled her tongue over his lips and continued sucking on the other lip. After what felt like eternity she left him and stood back on her feet feeling breathless.

She looked up to see Manik who was standing there with an amusing smirk on his face. That's not the reaction she was expecting from him.

"Why are you unaffected? You must be breathless by now." She said between her breaths.

"For sucking a chocolate like a kid for five minutes?" He questioned.

But that's how Manik taught her and now this version is not impressed by it. "But there is tongue involved." She said gathering all her strength.

Manik chuckled. "You are funny when you use adult words. It was more like licking a lolipop than your 'tongue involved' scene."

Nandini was confused. "You must be lying to win the challenge, Manik. I kissed you for five minutes straight and that too an advanced level kiss. It's impossible that you are feeling nothing."

"I don't need to lie for this teenagish kiss. That's not my level."

"Your level? What's above the advanced level kiss?" Nandini questioned and in a second his eyes darkened.

He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him crushing her soft breasts against his hard chest.  Her feet were in the air as he held all her weight over his one arm making her dizzy even before he did anything.

Manik's breath was fanning over her quivering delicate lips and in the next second they were between his lips. He captured a bigger part of her lower lip and sucked it hard that blood rushed and paled in the same time.

Nandini felt the painful thing in her lower abdomen once again as she tried her best to concentrate on the kiss. She couldn't reach the floor nor she could hold Manik to balance herself as her hands were pinner behind her back in his hold which made her frustrated.

She tried to wrap her legs around his waist and opened them wide which made her relax a little but Manik didn't let her. He removed them with his freehand and still left her hanging in the air which is making the weird feeling in her lower abdomen grow.

With his free hand Manik captured her neck from behind and pushed it back to its full extent. He left her lip which was swollen and her mouth open wide to intake huge breaths.

He didn't let her take another breath as he inserted his tongue into her already open mouth and licked the inside of her cheek in a single swoop. He didn't want to give a complete kiss so he was only giving a sample taste. Everything not more than five second which was making Nandini horny and she doesn't understand it.

The last drop of her sense dropped as the tip of his tongue reached all the back of her mouth till her tiny tongue which made her eyes roll back into her socket. He withdrew it immediately but her legs were already shivering in pleasure and pain that she wrapped her legs around his waist as tight as she could. This time she used her womanly strong thighs to pull him closer to her instead of her slender legs.

This surely did the trick as this muscular man couldn't free himself from the woman lost in passion and clinging on to him for her dear life.

He looked at her face which was now falling over his shoulder and already passed out. He chuckled as he laid her down on the soft mattress.

"That's my basic level kiss and you passed out already."

She wanted to give him a reply back but nothing cooperated with her as she slept with her mouth wide open and muscles feeling tired as if she ran hundred miles.

How's the update?

What will happen next?

Suggest something steamy for Manan scenes.

We have our Kay as a saviour, thankfully.
