~Don't fall for Sweet Words. Fall for Sweet Efforts~

******

I walked out of my car only to reach to his car which was waiting for me. I almost ran towards him why? because I missed him so much in the entire week. He was out for the whole week because he was working under some foreign clients and he has to handle them. And I kept sulking.

I quickly sat inside the car and hugged him tight "I missed you..."

He hugged me back and kissed me on my neck pulling me closer "I missed you too... I love you"

"Aw... I love you too... Give me a kiss now" I demanded and we engaged ourselves in a long passionate kiss. I giggled as he bit my lip breaking the kiss.

"How was work? I thought you must be busy... Factory se call aaya tha mujhpe..." He spoke as he put his car in to running motion.

"Work is tiring. Finally, I am planning to put resignation here... Aur haan... Factory pe maine baat kar li hai. Wo thoda engineering problem tha. Which is done." I spoke.

"How was your flight? Did you go home or came here straight to meet me?" I asked excitedly.

"Madam Dad came to pick me up to obviously ghar jake aaya hu" He said and kept his attention on the road.

"Manik... Where are we going?" I asked and he smiled.

"The escape..." He spoke and winked.

I grinned and soon we reached there. It was the same place where almost few months ago I have shared my miseries with him under the stars.

We walked out and sat on the bonnet of his car only to see the sun setting down. How peaceful!

Who knew this when I first visited this place that the man with whom I was sharing my fears with will be the one and only person who will sneak in my heart and make it beat for him. Only for him.

"It's cold... Take this. I got us coffee" he spoke and handed me the warm coffee mug.

"Come here" I called him and pulled him beside me as I placed my head on his chest.

"Missed me so much?" He asked. How ridiculous!

"Tumhe doubt hai?" I asked pouting and he giggled. He placed a full mouth kiss on my lips and held me close.

"You shouldn't go for so long... I hate this" I whispered as I genuinely felt bad when he wasn't around me.

"Nahi jaunga bas... now come on... Give that smile... Like my Girl" He spoke and showed his thirty-two teeth smile and I did the same as we watched the sun setting down.

I sighed and sipped my coffee silently.

"You remember I shared my every fear here with you few months ago?" I asked looking up at him and he was looking at me only.

"How can I forget that?" He spoke touching my nose with his.

"I didn't know the stone heart can also love" I spoke and I saw his smile going down.

"Why do you keep calling yourself stone hearted. You are not okay? You have a beautiful heart and I am so happy that I am the first and last person to own it" He pecked my nose and I smiled and snuggled in to him more.

"I am so happy that I found you... I am not leaving you ever" I whispered.

"Ditto... That's the plan" He spoke excitedly and I grinned.

There was again a peaceful silence when he sighed hard "Tumne Navya se baat ki?"

I looked up and shook my head "She is not ready to talk about him"

He gave me a worried look "I am really worried for Cabir. He's not taking well this break up"

"I know. I met him two days back and he was all so shabby and sad" I whispered.

"Hmm... Main kal baat karta hun Navya se. I mean... Itna kya gussa?" He spoke and frowned.

I frowned too "Tou Galat kya hai isme? He was the first one who said let's break up."

"Haan... Usne bola kyunki she... she was not ready to speak out her feelings." He countered back.

"Tou Matlab he has the right to be sad for the same thing which he asked her to do? This is ridiculous" I answered back.

"Tum samjh nahi rahi ho Nandini... It was growing in love from both the sides. Cabir knew what he felt, He just wanted to know her feelings which she kept denying. So he thought... this is the only thing which will led her to express her feelings." He pulled back a little and spoke.

I narrowed my eyes at him "Tou he should have given her some time na? Maybe... Maybe then she would have spoken out about her feelings. What was the need to ask for break-up? Do you even know how much Navya is shattered?"

He sighed and said "Cabir is broken too."

"He asked for it" I snapped back while he looked quite offended.

"He didn't ask for it. He loves her why would he even want to break up with her. Navya has just gone mad" He whispered the last line and I looked at him angrily.

"Really?" I asked coldly while he looked at me.

"Are we going to fight over their problem?" He asked grabbing me near.

"You started..." I replied and didn't nag much. Why would I? It's been a week since I met him and I don't want to waste time in fighting.

"Fine... I did... I am sorry." He spoke cutely and I turned back.

"I love you. Hum kuch karenge so that they both cam come together again. Okay?" I spoke caressing his cheeks.

He nodded cutely and leaned to kiss me. I leaned more and joined my lips with his. His tongue roamed inside my mouth expertly and I pulled him close with wrapping my hands around his neck. I roamed my hands in his haris while his hands rested on my waist pulling me in to his lap.

Finally, after a long time, I broke the kiss and panted smilingly.

"God... I missed you so much!" He whispered over my lips and I pulled him down on me, so now I was laying down on the bonnet and he was on me maintaining a good distance between us.

I smiled tracing his jaw "How did you manage to make me fall for you?" I asked cutely.

He chuckled and kissed my cheek settling beside me "I was born charming!" He boasted.

I smiled and shook my head.

"Happy Anniversary!" He whispered in my ears and I turned my face towards him.

I chuckled and questioned "Anniversary?"

He nodded and pulled me in to him, so that I was now resting my head on his chest "Exact six months ago... I said I love you to you" he spoke slyly.

I pressed my lips together almost trying to control my laugh "really? Tum ye sab yaad rakhte ho?"

He shrugged his shoulders and then turned towards me hurriedly "I got something for you"

He ran to the back seat of the car and came back. By now I was sitting on the bonnet.

"This! For you. Happy Anniversary Baby!" He giggled and nuzzled in to my hairs. I laughed and pushed him back a little.

"A gift? Seriously?" I asked looking at the wrapped gift in my hand.

"Open it come on!" He requested.

I nodded "waise... ye sab tou ladkiya karti hai na apne boyfriends ke liye?"

He looked at me "so? Humare relationship main I'll do these things. I have no objection." He spoke.

I stopped and smiled looking at him "Manik... You are very sweet."

"I know... now open it please! I want to see your reaction" he spoke excitedly.

I smiled on his excitement and opened the gift.

It was kind of a diary which had a picture of us from the camping.

I looked at him and he smiled enthusiastically.

"Flip the pages" he spoke and I did.

It had all our memories from past six months. A long time it had been. I never realised that it has been six months that I and Manik are together, dating. So many memories.

It has our pictures, our selfies, also the photos they he keep clicking of mine here and there. So were really crazy. Me pouting, he pouting. I am on his back while he gave me a piggy ride. Our beach photographs, and so many more. And lastly there was a picture where we sat looking at the sun ahead.

I smiled at him and he looked at me turning his eyes soft.

I was almost teared up, I didn't know that I deserve so much! Sometimes it all looks like a dream. Manik was perfect, he was perfect for me.

"Hey! Main gussa nahi hun ke tum mere liye gift nahi layi. Bas" he spoke and held my face.

I smiled in my cry and pushed him a bit back.

He laughed and held my face again "achha baba... kidding. Give me a hug now" he spoke and I pressed myself into him. I could feel him kissing my head few times.

I looked up from down and blinked my eyes "I love you."

He pecked my lips and ruffled my hairs "I love you too."

"Tum mujhe chhod ke nahi jaoge na?" I asked hugging me tightly.

"Kabhi bhi nahi" he whispered and hugged me back.

I smiled in contentment. I am totally whipped. And he is whipped too.

Just then his phone rang and I frowned.

He pulled out his phone and showed me who was calling.

"Your brother is like after me!" He rolled his eyes.

"Sometimes I think you both are in a secret relationship" I twisted my lips and he turned his gaze towards me.

"Haw... You got to know our little dirty secret. Ab Nandu?" He teased me and picked up his call.

I punched him in the stomach and he held my hand smilingly putting the phone on speaker.

"Yes Kunal." He spoke.

"Where are you? I thought we made a plan to play squash" i heard Kunal from the other side.

I shook my head at Manik.

"I am out Kunal sorry" he spoke leaninh towards me.

"Out? Where?" Kunal inquired.

"Somewhere" he just replied plainly.

"Yea but where?" Kunal again asked. Sometimes he is pain in ass. Like seriously.

"Kunal..." I spoke warning him.

"Nandu... what are you doing there? I thought you are at office. Don't tell me you guys on date again." He spoke almost impatiently.

"Kunal grow up... Did I ever stop you from going on a date with Mukti?" I asked and took Manik's phone in my hand. Manik had a helpless look because he knew now there was a third world war between siblings.

"That's because I am engaged madam" he spat at me.

"This is ridiculous. Let me spend time with my boyfriend and stop playing squash with him. I hate you" I almost uttered over the phone and Manik snatched his phone from me.

"How dare you... tu aa ghar phir batata hun..." he snapped back.

"Okay enough. Kunal I just cane today morning from trip and was missing Nandini so I picked her up from office and now I am dropping back. She'll be there soon okay? And can we plan this squash on weekend?" Manik suggested and I hated it.

I wanted more time with him.

I pouted and he pecked my lips hurriedly.

"Sure! I'll see you man" he spoke and killed the call.

"Are you really dropping me back?" I was still pouting.

"Yes" he replied and pecked again.

I whined "no... I want more time"

He giggled "I have some work baby!"

"What work?" I asked.

"Meetings and I have to meet Cabir to see if he's doing okay." He replied and picked me up in his arms.

"Zaroori hai?" I asked as he settled me in the car seat.

"Yes very. We'll meet tomorrow bas" he replied and sat inside the car.

He started the car and I kept looking at him.

"Nandini... Stop looking at me like that." He warned and I replied "stop the car then"

"Nandu I really have the meeting to attend" he stopped the car and turned towards me.

Without wasting even a moment I pulled him close to me and kissed his lips almost impatiently. He smiled in the kiss and pulled me close too. I bit his lip hard and he groaned in my mouth. I ran my tongue inside his mouth savouring the sweet mouth of his. His hold on my waist became tight as his tongue swirled around mine. I moaned in the kiss and he tilted his head for better access.

I moaned and breathed heavily as he broke the kiss and kissed hard on my cheek "I promise tomorrow we'll spend some good quality time."

He spoke and I cleaned his lips which had my lipstick on them.

"I know. I love tou so much"

He made a cute face and kissed my forehead "I love you too"

And soon he drove till my office.

"Suno... Kunal ne kuch mangvaya tha. Main abhi leke aata hun from that shop. Just give him that. Okay?" He spoke and I nodded.

As he was walking across the street, my eyes wandered around. I saw him going inside the store and then coming out in few minutes.

He smiled at me from far and I smiled back.

He was rushing towards me when my eyes reached somewhere else and that was a car rushing without any limit on the road. Press the break you idiot. But it never stopped.

I looked at Manik who was running towards me happily. His attention was not there. I was stilled at my place. Manik! No!

I opened the car door hurriedly and my eyes kept wandering to Manika dn to the car.

"Manik....." I shouted loud and he stopped at his place. The car zoomed near to him and I closed my eyes hard. My heart failed to beat for few seconds. Manik! My love!

But there was no crashing sound, so I opened my eyes only to see him toppled down on the other side of the road. He was dusting the dust from his shirt while tears rolled down my cheeks.

His eyes turned towards me and I was numb. What if that car would have hit him? What if I would ahve lost him?

I was breathing fast and sobbed.

He ran towards me and without a second I held him tight in to the embrace. Making sure that it was him. My ear rested exactly on his heart. It was beating. Manik was alive.

"Nandu I am fine" he whispered and I pulled back crying.

I punched his stomach and shoulder and every where I can while he winced.

"Oww... Nandini... I was just going to die..." he spoke and I slapped him hard on his chest.

"Tum dekh nahi sakte? Agar kuch ho jata tou?" I cried while he smiled at me.

"I am fine. Come" he opened his arms and without further delay I pressed myswlf into him.

"Don't scare me like that. I can't lose you" I wailed in the hug while he patted my back.

"I am fine aur mujhe kuch nahi hoga." He whispered.

"Promise?" I asked breaking the hug while he bobbed his head.

"Stupid!" I slapped his chest once more and he winced.

"Lagi hai..." he scolded me and I scolded him back "lagni hi chahiye thi"

He looked at me and laughed. I smiled back and we hugged each other again.

"Go home! And rest!" I spoke and he nodded.

He handed me a parcel and I walked towards my car. I opened the door and saw him looking at me smilingly waving his hand towards me.

I waved back and my heart suddenly felt a pain. An unbearable pain.

I sat inside the car and started driving.

What if the car would have hit him? What if I don't see him tomorrow? Will it be easy for me to live the life without him? No!

I just had a moment in which I felt that I lost him. What if I really lose him? What if tomorrow something happens which break us apart? Will I be able to be alive?

My heart only beats for him. He is my heart beat. And one thing I am sure is I don't want to lose him. I don't want to lose Manik.

I parked my car and walked inside silently. Sitting on the couch lazily I messaged Manik that I reached and he replied that he reached too. Safe and sound.

I sighed and rested my head on the couch back.

"Hi princess" I heard Dad and I turned my head towards him.

I smiled "Hi Papa..."

He smiled and hugged me side ways.

"You have become a busy bee" he spoke and I bit my lip.

That is true. I am doing my job, I have a factory to look after to, and my new found love. All these things made me so busy that nowadays I don't get time to spend with my family. Mostly with Mom and Dad.

"Nothing like that Papa" I spoke and pulled back.

"Liar liar pants on fire" I heard someone singing from walking behind us. I knew who it was.

I grabbed the pillow and hit him hard who was now in front of me. He glared at me and I at him.

"Okay kids. We miss you princess" Dad spoke and I turned my head towards him.

"Awww... I miss you too Papa... I love you" I spoke cutely and hugged my Papa Bear.

"Should I tell Dad where you keep yourself busy?" I heard Kunal again.

Someone said right, Sibling is the enemy of your happiness.

Oh, did I forget to mention that my Mom and Dad doesn't have any idea about mine and Manik's relationship. Hell, they don't even know that I am meeting this guy even. Manik Malhotra is long forgotten business in my house.

"Kunal..." I warned him while Dad looked at him and at me.

"Really? Where?" Dad asked excitedly.

"Papa factory..." I replied almost immediately.

Dad looked a bit unconvinced.

I gave a sharp glare at Kunal who was spressing his laugh.

"You trust me right?" I asked Dad who nodded.

"Just keep doing that." I replied and he pulled me in the hug.

"And disown him. Please!" I suggested to which Kunal whined.

"How dare you? Teri tou main..." He pounced on me with a pillow and I jumped out of the couch running almost in the whole house making him run behind me.

All I could hear was laughter in the whole house and Kunal's angry groans.

I wish my life stays like this. I just wish it...!
