Manik had awaken before Nandni. After taking shower and brushing teeth when he came out Aaron was playing with one corner of blanket. He was totally lost in his own fairy-land, talking to his own self. Manik smiled whole heartedly when Aaron's eyes landed at him. He sat up and was stretching his arms towards Manik. Getting more excited as Manik walked to him.

“My cutie boy...!” Manik kissed his hands after sitting at bed.

“Mamma. Mamma...!” Aaron was trying to tell Manik about Nandni who was still sleeping. Manik smiled seeing how his boy was concerned about the first thing in the morning, it was his mommy.

“Yes mommy sleeping. Lets go outside....!” Manik picked him in his arms and went at balcony. Aaron rubbed his eyes with both fists when morning breeze touched his chubby face. Manik wrapped his arms around him, before sitting at the resting chair. Aaron was giggling while pointing his finger at birds flying in the blue sky.

When Nandni woke up, she was alone in her bed. When she realised that there wasn't Aaron nor Manik. She got panicked. Throwing blanket away she came off the bed. But before she could go out of the room she noticed Manik sitting in balcony. Taking relieved sigh she went to see them. Manik was talking to their baby and in return Aaron giving cutest responses. Manik's Hands holding his tiny ones while his back resting against Manik's chest.

“One, Unn...!”
“Two, du...!”
“Three....thee...!”

Nandni smiled when she saw manik was saying counting at Aarons tiny fingers and Aaron was repeating counting in his toddler voice.

“Yes, my good boy....!” Manik kissed his cheeks and laughed after listening his unsteady broken words. He wrapped his arms tightly around his belly, like enjoying to embrace his soft body into his massive arms. As Manik sensed her appearance he looked up.

“Good morning....!” he greeted softly, giving his charming smile. Nandni greeted him back as well and moved closer.

“I got scared. You both weren't there....!” Nandni said, while standing at front of Manik. She moved her fingers, into Aaron's soft black hairs.

“We came here, didn’t want to disturb your sleep....!” Manik replied, making space at his chair for her. She sat besides him.

“My baby may never disturb me....!” her voice dipped into pure love, holding his hands she kissed them. Manik silently smiled triumphantly, admiring this unbreakable bond between these two mother and son.

“My boy is lucky to have you....!” he said wrapping one arm around Nandni as well.

“When you weren't here, he was the only ray of hope. Whenever I had nightmares, waking up screaming at nights, his presence always helped me to hold my shattered self together. He was who kept me sane, otherwise may be I would have ended in any mental hospital.....!” she chuckled, totally failed to hide the flash of residual pain she went through. Manik looking at her like her words actually hitting the innermost part of his wounded soul. He wrapped around her waistline even more tightly, to bring her side to be pressed to his.

“I know my boy took good care of mummy....!” he said placing kiss over Aaron's head.

“Mamma, mamma....!” Aaron tapped his palm at Nandni’s knee and after diverting her full attention towards himself, he raised his both hands up together. Manik and nandni looking down at him surprisingly.

“Unn, thee...!” and now Aaron was excited to tell the nandni, what he just learnt from daddy. Listening his counting and ten fingers, manik and nandni laughed with pure devotion in their eyes.

“Yes, yes, One, two, three....!” Manik tickled into Aaron's belly. Three of them laughing, like there was never any pain in their lives.

            ---------------

After getting ready and having breakfast, today Manik was going to attend his office back. He was joining his office first time with his real identity. Every one at office was excited to welcome him. Nandni can feel uneasy frowns at his face. Taking his laptop and all other necessary things Manik went out, where his driver was ready to drop him at office.

“Manik....!” nandni stopped him when he was going to sit in his car.

“Yes. Don’t say you want goodbye kiss here....!” manik whispered,  showing fake shocked expressions like there is nothing more embarrassing than kissing her at front of his driver and all other guards. Nandni rolled her eyes at her drama-king.

“Manik don’t be harsh at Victoria and Daniel. You know she lost Alexander, her only love. Even Daniel also lost his brother. They didn't want to keep you in any darkness. It was your condition they were scared of. Even we all, your own family, couldn’t tell you the truth because we were afraid of you slipping into comma once again....!” Nandni said after coming closer to Manik.

“you saying that. You...? Who suffered so much cause of them....!” Manik asked crossing his arms against his chest. Clearly not pleased at her suggestions. 

“Yes. Its me saying. Because I know how it feels when you lose your loved ones. I know which pain Victoria went through, that even at the end she lost her mind. Just looking at any stranger's injured body, see thinks its her Alexander. Can you imagine the limit of her pain. Please Manik forgive them. Please move on....?” Nandni pleaded, her breaths hitched like she was hardly controlling her sobs. Manik took deep breath. He held her shoulders, and squeezed them gently.

“I will try. Ok....?” manik said, moving down he placed kiss at her forehead.

“Take care. Bye...!” Opening his car door, he slipped inside at rich leather of his shiny car. He waved his hand before signalling the driver to move.

         ---------------

Manik entered directly in meeting room, where whole staff was already present. They all were happy for him. They congratulated him and gave a warm welcome. Manik smiled and thanked every one.

Soon meeting got started. Discussing everything happened in his absence. During whole meeting, manik avoided to see directly towards Daniel or Victoria. He knew it, he have to face them, but later, not now when he was feeling his headache getting severe. As meeting was over, whole staff left but he was sure and same happened. Daniel didn’t leave, and stayed so that every one leave first. As Manik and Daniel left alone, Manik also stood up to leave. Before he takes a single step ahead, Daniel stopped him.

“Manik we need to talk...!” Daniel asked, standing from his seat as well.

“What you want to say. There is nothing to talk about...!” manik muttered without looking back towards him.
“About Victoria...!” as Daniel took her name, Manik sighed before fixing his anger-filled eyes back at Daniel. Nodding his head, Manik went back and sat at his previous chair.

         ---------------

“Miss Victoria Mr Malhotra and Mr Daniel are asking you to come in meeting room. Victoria nodded her head but her heart was thumping wildly against her ribs. During the meeting she got succeeded to avoid Manik but now she have no chance to not go and face him. But thinking about Daniel, that he also would be there, she tried to composed herself.

          -------------

Knocking on the door she entered in meeting room. Her palms getting cold and sweaty when she found Manik's eyes at herself.

“Come and sit here....!” Manik said, having his voice low and cold. She slightly flinched at his sudden order but then she just went and sit at opposite side of Daniel and Manik. She was fidgeting her fingers uncomfortably under the table.

“Do you love Daniel....?” placing his both elbows at table manik leaned forward. Victoria looked up towards Manik and then back towards Daniel. She was shocked, obviously wasn’t expecting the first question would be this. She needed any clue from Daniel, but his expressions were blank.

“I...I’m trying....!” she said, looking back towards Manik. She felt her own words quite silly for her own ears. She looked back towards Daniel and she couldn't comprehend what his eyes were saying. She felt guilty that why she couldn't say confidently that she loves him or not.

“Good effort. Try try again...!” Manik said looking down. He rubbing his forehead like thinking what will happen to the man sitting besides him. Who’s madly in love with this lady who's trying to love him back.

“Dude. What you thought before reserving your heart for this girl...!” Manik patted Daniel's back and Daniel gave him just confused smile.

“Couldn’t help, it just happened...!” Daniel chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. But his tone wasn't amused at all. Victoria didn’t look up because she couldn't bear those broken expressions at Daniels face.

She was hating herself for making him unwanted. She felt helpless and found herself still hanging between her Alexander and her childhood friend. May be Daniel was the one, who was her real destiny. She couldn't stop tears of helplessness in her eyes. She was feeling like culprit of every one. She couldn't give any thing except pain to everyone.

“You know you have taken a lot from me, knowingly or unknowingly you left me with nothing but just frustration and helplessness. But after knowing everything, I can't have my anger against you. Because may be we both suffered so much already. There is just one difference that, I have moved on and now my whole family is with me, but you still stuck in your past. I will give you sincere advise, try to move On. Life will be easy for you.....!” as Manik stopped, victoria looked up towards both of them.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. May be I don't deserve any happiness....!” saying that she stood up and left the meeting room.

“Go, see her. She needs you....!” manik asked Daniel before leaving the meeting room as well. Daniel freezing silent, looking at moving door of meeting room. Taking a frustrated sigh he moved his fingers trough his hairs.
Daniel stood up and went to see Victoria, but she wasn’t in her room. He came back and receptionist told him that she ran outside. As he reached in car park, her car was already gone.

Running towards his own car he also drive after her. When he reached back at their mansion where three of them including Manik lived together,  Victoria’s car was already parked.

He ran straight towards her bedroom, but he stopped at front of her door when he listened her sobs.

          --------------

Holding a picture frame, Victoria was crying her heart out. Her sobs stopped as soon her couch dipped with heavy weight. She looked back and found Daniel sitting besides her. Facing him, she hid the frame behind her back. Daniel stretched his hand out and asked for the thing she was hiding. For few moments she was hesitate but then slowly she brought picture frame ahead.

Holding that frame Daniel smiled and his fingertips caressed at the glass with pure love in his eyes. It was Alexander's picture.

“I’m sorry. Don’t be angry. I...I saw this picture in your drawer and without your permission I took it....!” she apologised, totally failed to control her tears.

“Daniel. I’m sorry. How much I try to forget Alexander, I'm not able to. Please forgive me....!” she cried hiding her face in her palms. Daniel stood up and placed that frame at one corner table. Victoria looked up at picture surprisingly and then back towards Daniel, who came back and sat in her feet on the floor. He removed her pumps and she gasped when he picked her up into his arms.

After placing her at bed he removed his blazer and shoes before slipping into bed with her. She was still looking at him like he was complicated puzzle and she was eager to solve it. He pulled her against his chest, placing his chin at her head he closed his eyes.

“Im sorry....!” she sobbed once again, burying her face into his chest. 

“Don’t say sorry my princess. I could never be angry at you, you have every right to have Alexander's pictures. I don’t want you to forget him as well. But you can't stop me to love you. Its my right. I don’t want to snatch the place, you reserved for my Alexander but I would try to fill the emptiness, he left in your heart. We both love him equally, then why would I ask you to forget him. That idiot never thought about us, always stubborn head. And see this time he punished us in worst way. He left you, he left me. Forever. How much we both cry in this endless pain, he wont come back. So why not help each other to heal from this agony....!” he kept mumbling, and letting her cry. Victoria cried more, but this time these tears weren’t for Alexander but for Daniel.  

“How selfish I’m. I always remained lost in my world, I thought it was just me who’s world got crushed but I never thought about you, who lost even the last person of his family also. I don’t deserve to be called even a human....!” she sobbed hugging him tightly. This time he chuckled but said nothing. He couldn’t stop a stubborn lone tear, it fell at the side of her face.

“Don’t worry about me princess, I'm really hard. There isn’t anything, that can harm me. Mom left with another rich old man. Leaving us both. I survived. Dad started drinking and earning money day and night, still my breaths remained loyal to me, then one day he also died leaving both of us alone for each other. I still remained alive. Then Alexander also left me, see how lucky I'm here, even after burying my soul along my Alex, my heart still beating, see It didn’t stop....!” he said his last words while pressing her palm against his chest. Shaking her head she placed her hand at his mouth.

“Please...!” she couldn’t even listen the pain, he went through. And here since years, she was thinking just about herself. She wasn’t there when her friend needed her.

       ------------

It was almost 2 pm when Daniel's phone vibrated in his pants pocket. He gently made himself free from her tight hold. Placing her head gently at pillow, he pulled out his mobile. It was call from office. Daniel picked the call after coming out of her room, because he knew it, it must be an urgent otherwise Manik would never disturb him.

“Hello....!” Daniel answered the call, while wearing his shoes after sitting at couch in living room.

“When, What happened. In which hospital....!” Daniel ran straight towards his car. After informing guard he turned his car back and left the mansion. He raced his car at full speed. 30 minute distance towards hospital, Daniel covered into 15 minutes. When he reached hospital, nurse informed him that doctors taking his all tests. He took out his mobile and dialled cabir's number.

“Cabir, manik got fainted. He is in hospital. You need to come here asap....!” after informing him he once again went to see Manik but at the moment no one was allowed to see him. Doctors are doing their examination.
Cabir wasn’t at Malhotra mansion. So after reaching at hospital first he himself wanted to know Manik's exact condition. Because he knew it, this news going to snatch earth beneath Nandni and all other family members.

              -------------

Nandni was in kitchen when she received call from cabir. As he told about Manik she felt her whole world crumbling down at front of her eyes. Without informing any one at home she came out. Taking one driver nandni also reached hospital. Till now no one was aware about his condition, that how serious he is.

Nandni ran directly towards the room receptionist told her, where Manik was shifted. Her face was itching cause of tears and her heart was pounding as she saw Cabir walking out of Manik’s room with doctor. She ran towards them, wanted to hear what could've happened to Manik.

Sorry Mr Dhawan...!” Doctor said while placing his hand at cabir's shoulder. Fisting his hairs in tight fists Cabir fell at nearest chair and doctor left from there. Nandni didn’t felt the ground beneath her feet nor the crazy pounding of her heart. All she could see with her stoned eyes was long corridor stretching longer with every step she took towards Manik’s room.

At one hand she wanted to run and see him but at the other hand she was scared that would she be able to see him. Her nightmares were coming true, she lost all strength. She couldn’t listen a single word, a nurse was saying to Cabir. Nandni silently passed by them and stopped at front of Manik's door. 

“I can't see him, no I cant....!” her hands were shaking. Her feet got stuck, her body went numb. But it was too late. She couldn’t turn back and run away. She have to be besides him, he needs her.

Holding the knob she opened the door and entered inside. Her eyes hated the blue sheet which was covering him, till his chest. She took step towards him. Her steps unsteady, like she'd collapse. Her blurry eyes stopped at his face. She wanted to die, instead of seeing him in this condition.

“No....!” she couldn't stop tears rolling out of her eyes. She lost her breath, she couldn't feel her heart anymore. Not sure how she was on her feet when everything inside her was numb, and breaking bit by bit.

“How you can left me....!” every single word echoed in her mind. The closer she was moving the clearer she can see his body. His angelic face glowing, completely unaware of his surroundings. He was as calm, like he's just sleeping. She just stared at his face, tears pouring down with every step she took towards him.

“I’m sorry. Are you angry because I was fighting with you right. I won't trouble you. I promise. Please don’t leave me ....!” blaming herself for his condition she kneeled down near his bed. She placed her forehead against his bed.

“Manik, you promised me, you would never leave me. You liar. You liar....!” she banged her fists tightly against the metal frame of hospital bed.

“I hate you, I hate you....!” She clutched the edge of his hospital bed, sobbing helplessly.

“How I can hate you. You are my life. My everything. I will die without you. I love you...!” more tears poured down her face, wetting his hospital sheet.

She couldn't help but to continuously cry. She thought how much she cried in past few years, she lost even last drop of tear. But in spite of crying countless times, her eyes filled up with tears again. Once again he left her. Her shivering hands took his hand in tight hold. Placing her forehead at their entwined hands she was sobbing helplessly when she felt warmth of his hands, his blood rush.

“Nandni....!” familiar voice fell at her ears. The same voice she thought, now she would never listen again. Then silence lingered for long creeping moments. Then she whipped her head up so fast, it was miracle her neck was still intact to her shoulders.

Manik lying at bed staring at her. His eyes shimmering with pure love. The effect of her every magical word she was speaking, brought a content smile at his face. His stance, however looked predatory, as if he was ready to strike at his prey any moment.

“Are you ok. I mean you aren’t in comma. I mean that doctor was saying....!” though she couldn’t locate her voice still she tried and in the middle of her sentence she just stopped. Wiping her tears, now she realised that she didn’t even listen properly what exactly doctor was saying. And at the other hand Manik’s confused orbs, trying to get an explanation from her. 

“What. What did you say....?” manik asked, his amused expressions weren’t helping her.

“I listened doctor was talking to Cabir then he said sorry and I thought....!” nandni said as she stood up, unable to believe at her own self. For a second both just stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Then Manik laughed when he understood her reason of crying uncontrollably.

“So you think, whenever doctor says sorry, it only means patient gone...!” manik said, sitting up and resting his back against headboard of hospital bed. She bit her lip to stop her hiccups. Her face was pale, and hands clutching her collar tightly at her chest. Seeing her tears streaming out effortlessly from the corner of her eyes, Manik got serious.

“Come here....!” manik stretched his hand towards her. She strode over to him slowly until she was standing as close as he could smell her sweet cologne. Holding her wrist he pulled her into his lap. He cupped her face with his hands and looked deep in her eyes.

“You really said those words I was yearning to listen....!” as he asked that question, nandni unable to believe that she just said I love you. This is what he vowed to listen. But it was surprisingly very overwhelming feelings that he was so happy after listening these simple three words. May be for nandni it wasn’t new but for manik it was all over a new experience.

“I love you too, my sweet girl....!” smiling like teenage boy he confessed his love too. Pulling her face closer he pressed his lips to hers. Nandni was shocked for few seconds because it was unexpected, especially when your man is at hospital bed. Then she did what her heart was screaming for. She kissed him back, like it was for last time. Her hands fisting his collar like if she didn’t hold him, he will disappear. When he demanded more she happily allowed him to make it more passionate and deep. Not caring about anything else that existed outside of the kiss, both kept devouring each other.

“Manik, stop....!” when she felt she cant take it more, she pushed  him away. Her breaths were fast and uneven when at the other hand manik was completely composed and ready to continue it once again. Throwing her arms around his neck she held him in bone crushing hug.

“I was so scared. I thought....!” she mumbled while burying her face into his shoulder. Her breaths were still unsteady. Her voice was quivering, visibly clear how frightened she was.

“I know, but I'm totally fine....!” he stated, pulling her in his arms as if he had no intentions of letting her go anywhere. After few moments, nandni tried to rise up from his lap, but he pulled her back into hug.

“Just stay here and don't move...!” he asked politely, once again hugging her tightly. Her one hand fisted his soft hairs while other one clasping his shoulder. She felt the heat in her cheeks when she realised, why he requested to not move.

“Nandni...!” her name felt soft like silk at his lips.

“Hmmm....!” she got alert when she felt his thumbs lazily drawing breath taking patterns at her back. More often he do when he wants to make her feel his presence around her.

“So are you ready for tonight...!” he asked, placing his lips in the crook of her neck. Feeling her fists around his back got little loose, he smirked Victoriously.

“For what....?” she whispered, her voice was low but unsteady waves in her tone it was clear she knew already.

“You know my sweet kitten...!” he muttered with a chuckle as he pulled her away just enough to look into her twinkling eyes.

“I...I don’t know what are you talking about...!” she said looking at other side. She trying her best to remain as serious as she could dare.

“You seriously want me to tell you. Because I don’t have any problem to explain in detail...!” her heart fluttered like a caged bird after sensing truth in his words. Of course few weeks ago he promised her already that, the day she confessed her love, it means she is giving him full right at herself. It would be complete lie if she pretends that she forgot it.

“Mr malhotra I think you should think about your health while laying in hospital bed...!” Nandni removed his hands from her waist and in blink of eye she was standing away from his reach. Manik smiled resting his head back against the head board. His biceps looking messy as he placed both hands under his head. 

“Of course my dear wife, after going back home I will tell you how healthy I’m....!” he winked trying his best to not giggle when she frowned. She kept looking at him like making sure that if he really meant those words. But seeing excitement, dripping from his eyes she didn’t need any confirmation.

          -------------

There was soft knock at door. When both moved their heads towards entrance, it was doctor. There were Manik's medical reports in his hands.

“Hello...!” doctor said, flashing a genuine smile at them.

“So Mr Malhotra I'm really happy to tell You that, your all reports are fine. There is nothing to be worried. About your headache and this sudden blacking out problem, I think its just because after living around your family and friends, you are trying hard to recall things. I'm happy that you handling everything very nicely. Your injuries and memory isn’t tender like past, when during therapies you slipped into comma. 

Listening about the pain he went through alone, nandni’s eyes got teary. Moving closer she placed her palm at his hand which was placed at bed. She was looking at Manik without blinking her eyes. He gave her ensuring smile that everything have passed. Now he is fine but he couldn't remove those uneasy feelings from her face.

“Thank you doctor. You are really a saviour. Few minutes ago my wife was worried about my health and my stamina. She don’t let me do any effort-able work out....!” he said to doctor while intertwining his fingers with hers tightly. Listening him nandni looked back towards Manik who was damn serious. She warned him with her glares. Doctor sighed before fixing his thoughtful ice-blue eyes on Nandni. Even his angles weren't aware, what Manik's double meaning complains were about.

“Well, Mrs Malhotra, you don’t need to be worried, your husband is totally fine. Even after seeing how he fought against his injuries, I feel he have more will-power and stamina than a normal man. So don’t stop him, and let him do work out, as much as he want. Infect I think it will make him more healthy and strong...!” Doctor finished his speech, before turning his eyes down at discharge papers in his hands. Nandni's mouth and eyes were wide open. She looked back towards manik and as he winked at her she diverted her gaze back at doctor. In her thoughts she face palmed, after listening doctor's complete permission and Manik’s ear-to-ear smile.

“Thank you doctor. I will follow your instructions without any delay. Infect I will start work out from tonight....!” manik said everything looking directly at her flushed face which was still in pure shock. Doctors nodded his head in approval while still looking down at reports and finally signed his discharge papers.

         ------------

When Daniel and Cabir came back in room and came to know about nandni's condition they were almost rolling at couch while laughing uncontrollably. Then composing himself Cabir told what exactly happened.

“After waiting for two hours outside the ICU when a doctor came out I asked about Manik. He said...! He is better. He’s conscious and very well aware about his surroundings. But to see why he blacked out we are waiting for the results of few tests. But unfortunately cause of many other emergency cases, lab is so much busy. So I think test results will take time. I’m sorry Mr Dhawan” doctor left after patting my shoulder. After that I sat at nearest chair to take a relieved breath. Doctor was apologising for the delay and what you thought. Oh my God...!” Cabir once again laughing, uncertain if he should be consoling her or laughing at her innocence.

“Then nurse came with few prescriptions and sked me to bring medicines and that was the time she entered and I didn’t even see her....!” Looking at Nandni’s grumpy face, Cabir once again burst into laughter.

“Shut up cabir. Get lost from my room if you cant stay quiet....!” Manik said looking at nandni's face which was still devoid of any colour.

“She really got high voltage shock and your are laughing like an idiot. Cause of you, she cried so much and instead of saying sorry you making her fun. Shame on you....!” Daniel took nandni in side hug while giving his angry glare to Cabir

“Oey tu chup Karr gorey ki olaad....!” cabir said while leaning back against couch. Now looking at Daniel’s blank expressions, it was manik's turn to laugh.

“Princess what he said, tell me....!” Daniel asked nandni, but she tried her best to divert his attention.

“I know what means of gorey ki olaad, because since last few month your people call me 24/7 by this line. But I want to know what he said before that....!” when Daniel said Nandni also giggled and felt really bad for Daniel.

“I said shut up you too, gorey ki olaad...!” cabir explained in details when manik and Nandni both face palmed.

“How rude....!” Daniel placed his hand at his chest, like his words hurting him really badly. Best competitor to Cabir.

“Yaar, you both don’t have any work to do. Please go, see now I'm totally fine....!” laying back at his bed manik groaned. Pulling sheets till his head, he placed pillow at his ears.

         ---------------

Since the time they came back from hospital, manik was completely busy at phone calls. Nandni was looking at him time-to-time, trying to know what is exactly running in his evil head. All the family members were outside in grassy lawn, enjoying evening cool breeze. Aaron's giggles touched her ears, when she was preparing tea for every one. She looked out of the kitchen window and saw Aaron was running around and manik was chasing him, making him scream and laugh in excitement. Smiling at both of them she came back and continued her work.

After few minutes, humming along the song played at TV screen Manik entered in the kitchen and sat on stool beside the kitchen island. She can feel burn of his constant stare at herself. She bit her bottom lip, thinking why he was looking at her like this. 

“You are beautiful....!” like reading her mind, he mumbled lowly as if he was talking to his own self. Her hands stopped working when she listened his compliment. A rattled gush of sensation fluttered in her stomach. She looked up and his eyes roamed at her from head-to-toe.

“Ummm thank you. But are not you required in the office....!” nandni asked before diverting her eyes back at cups she was arranging in tray. His sexy smile brought a cute shade of pink at her cheeks.

She almost jumped at her place when two thick arms came around her stomach. Surprised by his sudden intimate motion, Nandni standing still in his tight embrace. He burried his face in her hairs, nuzzling her shoulder and neck.

“What about I have my kiss first, before you go out...!” manik whispered, his lips rubbing against her ear. Well his suggestion totally turned into action. Without wasting a second, he turned her around and crushed his lips against hers.

She couldn't control a soft moan when he sucked her lips gently. She felt complete, being held by the person she loves. She felt protected. His unconditional love made her feel somewhat healed even though he too was broken inside. He wasn't in mood to end the kiss but nandni slightly pulled away when she felt breathless.

“Be ready around 8 o’clock. I'm taking you at date...!” he said before pecking her lips last time.

“Why. I mean, we can go any other day...!” nandni said while taking fast breathes in between her words. Manik smiled seeing effect of his kiss at her red swollen lips and It was most beautiful smile ever.

“Since the day I saw you I was actually possessing you silently and secretly, but when I had you in my bed, I wasn't into proper senses. I remember everything but its all blurry. I just want to have you now with my all senses and with every ounce of passion....!” he mumbled, placing his soft kisses from her eyes to her cheeks, then from her jaw to her throat, giving torturous Goosebumps at her skin. Nandni felt his words hitting her heart so much.

“You have no idea, since the day I'm sharing bed with you, how much restraint I'm putting on myself from doing something....!” he groaned while sucking skin at her throat, where her pulse was fluttering under his mouth. He looked up still holding her face in his palms. Locking his gaze with hers, he looked between her shimmering eyes.

“Won't you say something....!” he asked having breath stopping smile at his lips. She gulped the lump in her throat. Controlling her rugged breathing she nodded her head.

“I would be ready on time....!” she said biting her lower lip. His thumb pressed against her lip to make it free.

“Don’t do it, because if I lost my control, I wont let you go really soon...!” he said before placing a last kiss at her lips and left the kitchen.
