I take a sip of my bubble tea as I continue to scroll through Instagram while biting the straw to the left of my mouth.

" Are you going to help me, Nandini? " Mom asks me and I look up at her from my phone. " Just call me when the bride and bride-groom are on the stage. " I reply averting my eyes back to my phone when it gets snatched away from my hand.

" Get up and meet the relatives. " She says and I whine. " I don't want to. " I reply standing up from the couch while settling the dupatta on my shoulders. " Manik. " She calls out staring right behind me and I turn around to see Manik leaning on the door.

Fuck!

He looks so fucking delicious and oh god, his height! My mind travels back to last night as I stare at his hand and my thighs clench at the memory of having his fingers all over me.

Last night was something I did not expect and nor did I regret it. But the thought of Dad and Abhimanyu finding that out, made me nervous and scared.

I rethink about my thought of never getting into a relationship before marriage cause after last night I wanted to be in one with Manik.

He was....beautiful. Usually people don't use the term beautiful for men but it suited Manik perfectly. He had a beautiful face along with a perfect body, and he surely was the man of every girl's dream.

" Do you know foreign languages? " She asked him as they were strolling through the place since there was still time for the marriage ceremony to happen.

Her question left him surprised as he didn't expect her to ask him this. " Yes, why? " He asks her as they come to a pause of strolling together." Last night you called me..shh..sh..hack- " He cuts her off and says the correct word himself.

" Schatzi " ( Babe : German )

" Yes. " She replied, saying the word herself to learn it. " Tell me something in Spanish. " She asked him and he heaves a sigh since he did not want her to ask the meaning of Schatzi.

" Eres hermosa " ( You're beautiful : Spanish )

" What does that mean? " She asked him, smiling at him cheekily as she expected him to say a compliment for her in Spanish.

" You're ridiculous. " He said, smiling at her and her smile drops as she hits his arm. " I hate you. " Nandini complained and he laughs while throwing his head back making her admire him.

" Nandini. " A voice called her and she turns back to look at her cousin with her husband. She moves forward and hugs her while Manik stand there and watches them.

What catches Manik's eyes is how uncomfortable Nandini was with her cousin's husband when she hugged. His brain gets clouded with anger as he marches away from the venue into a quiet place.

Away from the venue, he sat in the darkness smoking when he felt a presence behind him. He turned to look up but his face was being smashed in the wall near by and he let out a painful scream.

" You motherfucker. " The person growled, pushing his face more into the wall. " Who the fuck are you? " He asked when he felt himself being grabbed from the shoulders and forced to turn around.

" Boyfriend of the girl you touched. " Manik replied landing a punch on his face, bruising it. " Nandini doesn't have a boyfriend. " He retorted pushing Manik away but he stood there unharmed, towering him.

" She does now. " He replied staring deep into his soul and he forced himself to look away from his eyes, being scared.

" You touch her again and I'll cut your fucking hand off and shove it down your throat, you worthless piece of shit. "

Manik said before punching him again and leaving the place.

" Where were you? " Nandini asked him once he had returned back to the place where the ceremony was happening. " I was suffocating here, so I went to get some fresh air. "

He replied taking some flowers from her hand and showering them on the bride and groom as they took seven rounds around the fire.

" Suspicious. " Her reply made him smile and he winked at her. " Were you having a quickie with someone? " She asked him and he turned his eyes to look at her.

" No. And even if I was, why do you care? " He asked her making her furious. " We fucked last night and I broke my rules for you! " She replied and he turned to look at the people who were staring at them.

" This isn't the time to talk about this, Nandini. " He said but she grabbed his hands and forced them out of the place. " I wanted to have this conversation later but now this is the important thing. " She said.

" Were we just a moment, or a lifetime? "She questioned him. " You tell me this. You never wanted a relationship. " He replied keeping his hands on his waist.

" Don't throw my words at me, I know what I said. " She spoke being annoyed. " Do you? " She asked him and he stared at her for a while before replying.

" I want to be your best friend who occasionally gives you orgasms.

He stops as he notices the change in her behaviour.

" But I also want to be the person who gets addressed as your boyfriend. " He adds.
