N A N D I N I

His lips left no part of my body unkissed as he drove me crazy in all the love he was pouring upon me. I felt my cells going crazy every time his tongue touched my skin.

He slowly unhooked all my upper clothes and I did his as he leaned upon me, his eyes not even leaving mine for a fraction of second.

The passions, the desires and all the love that we owed each other over the years was coming out exactly in the right proportion. The intimacy was all new to me, but I was loving it.

"I love.. you!" He whispered for the nth time in the past ten minutes as he kissed my bosoms, holding them between his hand and then his mouth and the red crimson hue didn't leave my face. I never thought I'd be so comfortable with anyone, but today, when it's actually happening, it feels beautiful. I am ready to give myself to him, not just today, but again and again, and all the time. I am his, by soul and by body.

"Manik...," it slowly left my mouth as his hand lingered upon my bare body, the shivers passing down my spine as the butterflies I didn't know existed in my stomach rose. His hands were cold, and his tongue did magic on me.

His hand reached the sensitive spot, removing the last piece of cloths from me. "You're so beautiful baby...," he whispered worshipping my body, as a quick moan escaped my mouth and the red hue and the big smile didn't leave my face for a second. My lips lingered on his ear lobe, leaving trailed kisses before he took my lips into his, rubbing himself against me.

"Manik! I-I can't wait more...," I whispered slowly and he smirked looking at my desperation as his finger entered me and a hiss left in the pain and pleasure.

"Manik!" I almost shouted as his finger dug in deeper and he bit my collar bone, dividing my attention as his tongue licked the same spot and my body uplifted from the sudden pain and pleasure.

His finger slowly left my body and my breath calmed down, leaving me craving for more. "More Manik, more please...," I whispered. I loved the way my body reacted to his touch, the miracles and the sparks created every time his body pressed against mine.

"This is going to pain baby, are you sure you want to do it now?" He whispered kissing the area beneath my ear as his hand rubbed against my weak spot, making it difficult to breathe or speak.

"I can't wait to be yours Manik... Mark me yours...," I breathed his scent and he kissed my nose. "Your wish, my command baby!" He whispered back and the next moment, his body pressed against mine, and within a swift stroke, I could feel a sharp pain as I felt him within me.

"Oh, you're so tight baby!" He whispered as his hands travelled to the back and held me tight. "Manik, love me!" I shouted paining and he pushed himself more into me.

It pained a hell lot, like being stabbed in reverse, but his love and the pleasure covered the pain into happiness as a small tear drop left my left eye. From a girl, I was a woman today. I was completed in true sense, and that man happened to be my husband, the love of my life, my Manik Malhotra.

"Hey? Is it paining a lot?" He asked, worry clear on his face as his lips drank away the tear drop and I nodded negatively.

"You can always give me only happiness, no pain!" I whispered with my smile reaching my eyes and he slowly kept his lips on mine, loving me till time permits before he held my tired body in his arms, hugging me to sleep.

I felt loved.

I felt contented.

I felt like his wife.

"Manik!" I shouted crying, my voice enough to reach the heavens, as if trying to wake him up.

"No Manik, you have to get up! Get up Manik, get up!" I begged for the air as it got stuck in my throat.

"Just an accident can't separate us, can it manik? Please Manik Malhotra, don't leave me for death. Face your demons you coward, get up for me Manik!" I shouted louder crying, holding his body clad in white, lying to be burnt.

My voice was loud enough to even reach the heavens but it was strange that no one heard me. Or maybe, they didn't want to. Someone had to hear me, someone had to help me get to Manik.

Just then, I felt a hand gripping upon mine and I looked to my side to a dark shadowed person, taller than me, just like Manik. Still not Manik.

"Hey Nandnini!" He whispered huskily, lust shining in his piercing eyes. The voice was familiar, and so was the face.

"H-Harshad...," I whispered trying to push him away. "Oh, your Manik left you alone today..," he kissed me as I pushed him away, crying but he was too strong to me.

One touch and I was pushed to a corner, where he tried to remove my clothes.

I beat him, I wanted to get away from his touches. But no one helped me. They saw me giving up, yet no one came ahead to save me.

"Manik!" I whispered, begging for him. He had to come save me.

"He's dead, he's not coming anymore baby!" The devil laughed and I shouted louder.

"Manik!", He has to come for me.

"Manik!"

"Manikkk!" I screamed as I got up with a jerk, holding the blanket to my body. Cold sweat covered my face and arms and there were tears on my eyes.

"Nandini!", I heard his sleepy voice as he patted my back, rubbing his confused eyes and my body relaxed as I looked at him, safe and sound.

"You okay, baby?" He asked as I clung to his body, relaxing under his touch.

"Nightmare again, hmm?" He asked and I nodded vaguely as he held me tighter. This happened often after Manik's accident and today, somehow Harshad also got mixed, making it even worst for me.

"There was Harshad too...-," I tried but he silenced me. "Sssh, it's okay. Mein hu na tumhaare saath?" He asked and I nodded smiling.

"I want some fresh air," I whispered and he nodded as he wore his vest and joggers. Wrapping my naked body with the blanket, he carried me in the bridal style to the balcony swing and we both sat there in silence for some time, enjoying the stars and the breeze.

I have loved the stars right from childhood but Manik makes me love them more, my love for him makes me love them more. It gives him some unknown peace and he gives that to me, so that's the connection between me, Manik and stars. It's weird how he is my drug, to which I am addicted ruthlessly. If loving him is a dream, I would never want to wake up from it.

"Manik...!" I breathed his name slowly.

"Yes princess...!" He whispered back nuzzling his nose in my hair and I smiled, digging my head in his chest, snuggling into him more.

"I love the way you call me princess," I smiled caressing his engagement finger in our entwined hands.

"Really?" He smiled and I nodded positively as he gently kept his lips on mine, pecking them softly.

"Then you'd be my princess, forever!" He smiled, tracing his lips all the way up to my forehead, finally stopping and planting a long kiss there.

"You know, when I was your P.A., I was just another silly fan girl hopelessly in love with you. And I never thought that one day, I'd be sitting in your arms in this huge balcony, and one day I'd be called Nandini Manik Malhotra...!," I smiled, confessing.

"But I guess, our fates are entwined. Just after everything we've been through, we always ended together!" He smiled and I couldn't agree more. There was a point when I left India, and I had given up on us. There was a point where I could cross all limits just to hate Manik Malhotra, I didn't even want to see his face. And then there was when I knew he was going away, leaving us all. And despite all of it, we stuck together, our ship sailed through the storm to greet the bright day ahead.

"Cross my heart baby, I'm never leaving you!" I smiled against his chest, gently kissing his heart and he gave me an amused look.

"What did you just call me?" He asked with that same naughty smirk playing on his face and I squeezed my eyebrows at him.

"What did I call you?", I asked in confusion. Had I spoken something wrong?

"I guess you just called me something that starts from b and ends with y....," he winked and I rolled his eyes at him. "I mean... I see, the wife fever is already getting you!" He teased and I scrunched my nose and lips together.

Why? Why did I have to say that?

"Or.... are you trying to seduce me....," His eyes widened in excitement as his fingers gently trailed my face and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Manik!" I scolded taking his hand off me.

"Nahi! I mean agar you are trying to seduce me, toh let me tell you, this is really really working haa....!" He teased more and I felt like hiding my face somewhere as I could already feel my cheeks heating up.

"Manik," I whisper cried. Why me? Have you ever seen a husband teasing his wife after such a hot night? But my husband is a certified monster.

"I don't mind, another round, you and me...," he winked and I hid my face more in his chest, hitting my hand to his bicep and chest.

"I hate you Manik!" I cried in disbelief. "But I love you, and I'm sure you don't want me to show that to you again, do you?", he smiled kissing my ear lobe and I shivered as the cold air passed by us, sending shivers down our spine.

"Alright! Alright, sorry!" He laughed and I slowly lifted my head to look at him with that pout on my face.

My eyes looked into his and I felt sparks flying. I couldn't still believe that this man, so full of life, was all mine. All he love in his eyes and heart was reserved and just for me.

Our small eye lock was disturbed by a ray of light flying across our face. We looked at our side to see the sun rising above the horizon, painting the dark sky with flashes of light as the small stars twinkled brighter before disappearing and making way for another bright day.

"Looks like sun rises our always our thing, isn't it?" He smiled with a huge sigh and I smiled back with the same content and satisfaction in my mind as I stared at the light blue sky, slowly dropping my head on his chest as I wrapped my hands around his biceps tighter, snuggling more into him.

"Can I share the blanket too?" He asked with the naughtiness shining in his eyes and my eyes widened as I pursed my lips together, hugging to blanket closer to my naked body.

"Manik!" I scolded and he laughed louder looking at my amused face as he planted a kiss on my forehead. "Don't worry baby, just because we have consummated our wedding doesn't mean we'd do anything that makes you uncomfortable...," he smiled and somewhere, a soft prayer left my heart thanking god for blessing me with Manik Malhotra.

Snuggling into him,I once again kissed his heart and slipped into slumber listening to his heart beat.

I liked the feeling I was getting today, of being completed and loved.

I liked the feeling of being his wife, and I wished this feeling to last forever.

~He loved her soul before her body and that's what made their love last forever~
