"Mr malhotr her all test are absolutely fine but she is weak and she just need multi vitamins, healthy diet and proper rest...!" doctor said while joining manik back after nandni's complete check-up.

"Doctor what about the pain she is feeling...!" manik asked worryingly.

"That was coz of any stress and tiredness. Otherwise I didn't find any other complication. Mrs malhotra just be happy. If you will remain stress free then you will feel energetic....!" doctor said giving an assuring smile.

"Doctor please tell her one thing more that she shouldn't cry all the time....!" manik asked doctor and nandni looked back towards him shockingly. Listening him doctor laughed and nandni was glaring at him for leaking her secret publicly.

"Absolutely right Mr malhotra for a healthy mother and baby, she need to be happy. But coz of disturbed hormones sometimes ladies feel little more emotional than usual, so don't take tension just keep her happy. And bear her mood swings, after all becoming a dady isn't easy man...!" doctor said while giving him prescription of her medicines.

"I will surely...!" manik replied taking nandni in side hug and doctor said best of luck seeing this lovely couple.
Both came out of clinic and sat in car. After starting car manik looked back at silent nandni.

"Why are you so nervous. What's bothering you...!" He entwined his fingers with hers concentrating at road.
"I don't know. Be with me. I just need you...!" she replied with pleading eyes.

"I'm with you sweetheart. I will be there for both of you. Doctor ny kaha na aap k liye stress theek ni hey. So don't think more, be happy and relax, I'm always with you....!" manik kissed her hand and looked back at road while keeping their entwined hands at his thigh.

"Let's eat something first you didn't even have your lunch properly....!" manik said while stopping car at front of one restaurant. Bothe entered in restaurant and he asked for one private arrangements.

--------------

"You didn't purpose me yet. So what if I refused to marry you...!" Nandni said in her all dramatic expressions while sipping water. Listening her manik looked up and no doubt he was shocked and surprised at her warning.

"Don't forget Mrs manik malhotra, na kro ya haan kro aap already meri wife ho and even soon to be mum of my baby too. I think I don't need to purpose you...!" manik replied in his style full of attitude.

"Yeah you said right it doesn't matter mein haan krun ya na krun, you don't care about it...!" Nandni replied looking down at glass of water in her hands. Manik smiled seeing his girl getting emotional but she doesn't know what was waiting for her. Manik got busy in his mobile while nandni was pissing off seeing outside from window. Their silence got interrupted when waitress came with tray full of food.

After arranging all dishes and food at table she turned around towards manik.

"Sir anything else would you like to have....?" she asked giving full flirty smile to the most charming man sitting at table. Nandni's killing stare at waitress was showing that, she wasn't liking the way waitress flirting openly with her man. Manik placed mobile back and crossing both arms at table he leaned forward little closer.

"No, thanks beautiful, I will call you, if I needed anything....!" manik replied giving a sweetest smile to waitress. He was enjoying seeing his mini monster glaring at him having all dangerous frowns. As waitress left all happy after receiving "BEAUTIFUL" compliment nandni looked away huffing like a mad bull.

"Lets start, otherwise food will become cold...!" manik said composing his smile and served food in her plate. Later during whole time she didn't talk to him, if he tried to talk she just replied with nodding her head.

She tried to wear a company smile but was evidently tormented by jealousy and with anger her nerves strained to overhear what he was saying.

--------------

After finishing their food both came out to drive back home. After sitting in car manik took different root instead of going back home. It was already late in evening but still Mr malhotra wasn't in mood to go back. Nandni looked back with questioning stare at him but he was totally busy at his driving.

Sky was really dark cloudy and cool breeze of evening was cherry on cake. How he can miss to enjoy such pleasing weather. Silence was awkward but still so overwhelming coz of their togetherness. Turning the window glass down of her side she welcomed soothing air. Manik looked back towards her and smiled seeing her lost in her lala land.

He turned on the music and in such silent atmosphere music was like a beautiful melody. Car was silently covering distance at lonely road. The car was rocking slightly with a gust of wind. After few minutes he swung the car off the road and took left turn. His greatest interest brought him that way towards the greenery and heights. When car stopped nandni looked out side. The drive from clinic to this silent place, was very lovely and restful.

They were at one cliff. He came out and after opening her door extended his hand towards her. She looked away totally ignoring his hand with refusing gesture. Manik smiled seeing her tantrums. Leaning down he held her hand and pulled her out of the car carefully.

He closed the car door and she was stood still resting her back with car door. He crossed the short distance to his angry girl and paused closer to breath in her sweet scent.

"Beautiful....!" He said after placing both palms at car caging her in his thick arms. She looked back towards him and his dark eyes were lost in her arresting beauty.

"I mean beautiful view...!" He said looking here and there and his teasing again irritated her more. Placing both hands at his chest she pushed him away. As she looked around it was indeed a breath taking view. She gazed silently at hills which seemed to rise out of a beautiful lake.

She was standing at front of car when manik came towards her and after coming face to face he kneeled down and took her hand in his palms.

"Nandni I'm not perfect, I'm not an ideal partner, I do mistakes, I hurt you, but one thing is also I'm sure about me is that I love you beyond limit. When I was in London you were just a commitment but after meeting you I felt forced to fall in love with you, I felt to protect you, your tears hurt me, for your one smile I can do anything. Now I can't even imagine my life without you. Will you marry me....?" Finally he purposed her and her eyes got wet listening his purest confession. It's first time he openly confessed his feelings and she felt so overwhelmed.

She was going to say yes but controlling her tears of happiness she looked at other side angrily. Mrs malhotra didn't want to say yes easily bcs he also troubled her so much to purpose her.

"No....!" She shook her head and manik was looking at his drama queen with wide open mouth and eyes. He stood up. Holding her from waste he picked her up and made her sit at car.

"So you won't accept manik malhotra's purposal. Okkkk then. I have my own ways to make you ready for marriage..." saying this he moved forward.

She leaned back at car when he was going to kiss her. In struggle to avoid him she almost fell at car having him at herself.

"So will you marry me...!" He asked kissing at side of her neck.

"No...!" After catching her breaths she replied in a squeaky voice. He entered his hands inside her shirt holding her from her waist.

"Will you marry me...!" He asked while planting hot wet kisses. She couldn't reply for few seconds but then again stubbornly she replied "NO". She could feel his smile while kissing her sweet spot.

He moved his hands up from her waist and they reached at her rib cages. Now she felt her stubbornness was gonna give her tough time but still she replied "NO". This time manik gave a sensational love bite at her collar bone and she hissed in pleasurable burning. Her fingers fisted his hairs to compose herself.

"Will you marry me...!" He asked again and she once again shook her head when she have lost all strength to speak. This time his hands grabbed hem of her bra when she leaving his head held his hands to stop from moving further up.

"Yes...!" She replied still catching her uneven heavy breaths. Manik smiled fully while still busy kissing her jawline, throat, cleavage and at other side he was trying to make his hands free from her hold to move further up.

"Manik please stop, I said yes already...!" She again said in pleading voice this time manik looked up at her face.

"I didn't say, I will stop if you will say yes.....?" Saying this he was going to kiss her lips when she turned her face at other side. His smirking eyes twinkled more when a crimson red tint shone through her features.

"Let's celebrate our wedding night in advance today. See how peaceful and private place is this. No one gonna come here. What you say...!" He asked having hell serious face. Nandni looked back towards him all shocked and having flushed features.

"Manik. Leave me. Manik...!" Now after listening his demand she started full struggle to push him away. He laughed keeping his firm solid hold at her.

"Ouch..." she hissed in pain while holding her stomach.

"Hey what happened. Sorry I'm sorry. Did I hurt you...!" Manik worryingly jumped back of her. With worried face he was looking at her and encircling arm around her back he made her sit straight. Nandni was still having all painful expressions and manik was looking at her guiltily.

"Are you ok...!" He asked while rubbing her back gently.

"Ummmm. Yes I'm fine...!" Saying this she jumped of the car and almost ran away from him. Now it was turn of manik's to become shocked. Listening her giggles he understood she made him fool.

"Ok tou mrs malhotra you playing pranks with me...!" Manik said while folding his sleeves up. He moved forward in her direction when she stepped back immediately.

"Wo wo aap mujhy jany ni dey rahy thy, koe aa jata tou...!" She tried to give full excuse but manik malhotra wasn't in mood to be fool once again.

"Ok koe aa jata, hmmm and you thought I will act of pain and he will leave me. Good job. But ab aap ko bachaany koe b ni any wala...!" Saying this he took one last step and she was already trapped between him and reeling. She stiffened as he stepped closer and placed both hands on each of her side at metal frame.

"Mrs malhotra I think you are forgetting whom you are trying to make fool. It's not easy to make manik malhotra fool again and again. Now she realised her trim body was close enough for her tender torso to rub his chest when she breathed.

Holding her face in both palms he raised up. Rubbing thumb at her lover lip he already warned her what was coming her way. As his face came closer she closed her eyes. She took deep breath for receiving one breathless ride of kiss.

He smiled seeing his girl all defeated waiting for his kiss. Leaning forward he kissed her. His kiss was gentle and full of devotion. For a moment she returned his kiss with same passion, her arms holding his waist.

After kissing her, he moved back to see her still closed eyes. She pressed her clasped hands at his collar and then controlling herself with an evident effort lifted her flushed eyes up.

"Dont worry, I'm not gonna do anything here, just few hrs more and I'm gonna make you mine once again. And tint of blush appeared at her face. Biting her lip she looked down. She gently broke the embrace and stepped away, giving him most fetching smile. She tripped at stone and for a moment her heart beat overtime. Though she might fall but manik smoothly caught her. Holding her elbow he pulled her back and now her back banged with his hard masculine chest.

"Relax. Be careful baby....!" He said while rubbing her fingers lightly at her belly and she felt his care and love for herself and his baby. These warming feelings enveloped her heart. She nodded her head looking down. Manik picked her up and once again went towards their car. Sitting at car he settled her in his lap. Keeping her head at his shoulder she left her all weight at his thigh.

She was looking at sky keeping her head at his shoulder. She felt goosebumps when his breaths fell at her side of face.

"After seeing this view I'm missing our beach house..!" He said kissing her cheek lightly.

"Yeah that's really beautiful house...!" She said having a content smile, remembering their blissful nights there. Looking straight involuntarily she inhaled the freshness of the cloudy but windy evening,

"Manik why you brought me here...?" She asked turning around still in his arms.

"To spend quality time....!" He winked having a smirk. She rolled her eyes moving her gaze again back at breath taking view of Lake.

"To purpose you...!" he whispered coming closer to her ear. Suddenly she felt so excited, her hands trembled as she tried to hold his palms around her stomach.

"Then why you said in restaurant that it doesn't matter for you if I say yes or no....?" she gave him cold stare without knowing her face was getting red once again. He laughed after knowing she was still sulking over restaurant talk.

"To see your nose becoming red with anger....!" rubbing his nose with her he replied.

"By the way you were giving killing looks to that poor waitress. Why....?" manik asked holding her securely in his embrace. Listening again about that waitress nandni felt rush of heat in her head.

"Bcs she was trying to flirt with my husband. But my own husband was more happy to flirt back with her...!" she replied greeting her teeth. She looked other side feeling hell irritate once again. Turing her towards himself manik laughed listening her complains. Her expressions were mixture of different emotions: anger and embarrassment.
"I told you na I love to see your nose when it looks like joker's...!" he said kissing her nose tip, becoming hot red.

"Love you baby girl...!" in this moment, he made his confession to his girl, who in turn hugged him. She had never made a secret to her feelings for him. Sitting there in each others arms after confessing their love, a new train of feelings arose in their hearts.

"Manik we should go back home. All will be waiting for us...!" Nandni said breaking hug and climbed off his lap. He would have embraced her longer but she stepped inside the car leaving him with disappointed annoying face expressions. Shaking his head with defeated sigh he also followed her back into car.

----------------

As both reached home ishani and raj were in TV lounge. So both went directly to see them.
"Aao bacho sab aapka hi wait kr rahy thy...!" raj said when both greeted them.

"Abhi and cabir are also here and with mukti they are in theatre room. They are waiting for both of you. Aap dono fresh ho jao mein dinner lagwati hun then you both can join them....!" ishani said while getting up from sofa.

"No mom actually hamm khana kha kr aa rahy hein...!" manik replied stopping her at mid way.
"Its perfect, then both of you go to see other three Devils waiting for both of you...!" ishani said giving a Smile.

"Nandni bety you need rest. Bcs tomorrow is gonna be one of tired day for you. So don't make yourself tired with these four idiots....!" ishani said coming closer to nandni and rubbed her arm.

"Mom don't worry I will take care of her....!" manik replied taking her in side hug. Raj and ishani was looking at their kids having proud smile.

------------------

After taking shower manik came out and saw nandni was laying at bed hanging both legs down. She didn't even remove her shoes.
"Nandni go and get fresh first then you can take rest...!" manik asked while sitting beside her. She got up and went to change.

--------------

Both went in theatre room where other three were enjoying their tea and were waiting for them.

"Loh most wanted couple b aa gaya...!" abhi said while getting up from mattress. He went ahead to meet manik and nandni.

"Congratulations guys for double dhamaal. I mean lucky baby gonna participate in mom dad's marriage....!" here cabir came in full leg pulling style. All laughed listening him while manik hugged him after giving a punch. After meeting manik, cabir went towards nandni. Taking her in side hug cabir congratulated her.

"Thank you...!" she replied looking back towards manik with blessed feels.
"Come guys have tea first, it's becoming cold...!" mukti brought all of them back from their warm helo-hi.

Manik cabir and abhi got busy in their chit chat when mukti was telling nandni about all shopping they did for the next day function.

"let's watch movie....!" cabir said clapping both hands in excitement. Mukti went downstairs to leave tray and cups in kitchen when abhi and cabir were busy to find any blasting movie.

"Nandni come here...!" manik called her when he saw her face was showing her tiredness. She came and sat beside him.

"If you not feeling well then you can go in room and take rest....!" manik said while tugging her hair strands behind her ears.

"Im feeling sleepy but I don't want to go back in room...!" she said with annoyed face. He guessed her feelings and saw in her eyes that she needed him beside herself.

"Ok then come you can lay down here....!" manik said while settling pillows beside himself. She laid back and shrugged deeper under sheet. Exhaustion of whole day and chilly air of AC was making her more sleepy.

She turned towards him and removed sheet from her face. Manik was Sitting beside her resting his back with wall when she encircled her one arm around his waist. She snuggled into him removing the little bit distance between them.

"She such a cute baby. How she gonna handle her baby when she cant handle herself...!" Manik thought moving his fingers in her soft hairs. He knew it becoming a mother, these feelings were totally foreign yet so welcoming for her.

"What are you thinking...!" feeling his stare at herself she looked up at him. He smiled shacking his head and she blushed fixing her eyes inquiringly on him. Nandni again buried her face in his waist and he looked back towards theatre screen still fondling her hairs.

-------------

The fresh morning air blew gently at her face and she opened her eyes slowly. Shielding her eyes against the bright shine of sun with her palm she closed her eyes again. After rubbing lightly she opened her eyes again to adjust in bright light of morning. She tried to turn around but strong embrace around her body didn't let her move even an inch.

As she looked down his arm was encircled around her stomach holding her closer into his chest. His slow puffs of breaths at her neck and melodious heart beat at her back was indicating that how close he was sleeping.

As he little moved in his sleep she could feel his whole hard body against herself. Nandni's stomach lurched and chill bumps popped out on her whole body after feeling every inch of him.

"How I came back in room. OMG, manik brought me here. What other will think. Shit...!" she slammed her palm at her forehead thinking about all teasing waiting for her from the side of mukti and cabir.

"Manik....!" she tried to wake him up after shaking his arm around her stomach.

"Let me sleep baby....!" manik spoke with a gruff masculine voice. Pulling her more closer he snuggled into crook of her neck.

"Manik its already late. Please...!" she again tried to wake him up while bearing his seductive closeness. This time in reply he started kissing her neck lightly.

"Your punishment for disturbing my sleep....! He said turning her towards himself. His voice was heavy but the arm that encircling her waist, holding her gently. Cupping her cheek he was looking at her flawless morning beauty.

She was built the way a woman should be, shapely with curves, plump lips and deep almond-shaped eyes. His wandering gaze forced her to drop her eyes down. It was the moment She noticed he was naked just in his trousers, a combination of hotness and masculine body that made her to pay attention towards him more keenly. Her eyes got stuck at display of his washboard abs along with the wide chest.

"I didn't know you like me naked more than in clothes....!" manik chuckled drawing her closer against himself while throwing one leg carelessly over hers. She looked up and his gaze was calm plus intend and she felt bashful beneath his scrutiny.

"No its not like that, I was just....!" leaving her sentence incomplete she looked away bcs early morning mind wasn't able to think any proper excuse.

"Its ok, you have right. Infect I don't mind...!" he replied turning her face towards himself. She heard the dreamy note in his morning husky voice. He leaned closer to kiss her when she abruptly moved away. Before he can hold her back she was already out of bed.

"Nandni....! Its not fair ok...!!" manik said with hell annoyed face expressions. Nandni went towards wardrobe to take out clothes while giggling at her victorious early morning teasing.

"Ok fine...! You know very well manik malhotra doesn't forget easily. Like always you gonna pay for it....!" manik said while coming out of bed. Hearing him her features flushed at his obvious amusement.

"Lets see manik malhotra....!" Nandni replied again having a mischievous smile. She was busy arranging his clothes when he came out of washroom after shower.

She looked at him shockingly the way he was roaming around in just towel. Still he was looking like a Greek god with his wet hairs matted on his forehead. As she took one look at the smirk on his face, she looked away pretending she didn't see him.

He smiled realising he have such effect at her and she squirmed at her place feeling his smirk. Drying his hairs with towel he was coming towards her when his fon started ringing. After picking his call he went out towards terrace.

Nandni after cleaning their bed, took full advantage and taking her clothes almost ran towards washroom.

"Yeah I need all arrangements tonight. I want every thing perfect and on time....!" manik replied before disconnecting his call.

"Mrs malhotra be ready for surprise....!" he smiled biting his lower lip in excitement. He came back in room and changed his clothes.

After getting fresh nandni also came out and saw him at front of dressing table settling his hairs. As she reached near him he smiled seeing her reflection in mirror.

He turned around and holding her hand brought her closer. Slipping his one arm around her petite waist he moved closer covering the little bit distance. His long expert fingers at her waist nimbly easing her tens muscles under their gentle rubbing.

"Looking beautiful...!" he said looking at her with dreamy eyes. After brushing away a strand of her wet brown hairs from her face he softly stroked her cheeks.

"You didn't let me sleep, you know already sleepless night is waiting for us....!" he spoke to her politely encouraging her innocent heart to be wild.

"Don't be surprised soon to be Mrs malhotra once again tonight is our wedding night. So celebration is must...!" manik said tightening his embrace around her, when she continued to stare blankly.

Nandni's eyes popped out after realising what he was talking about. Her stomach contracted and then twisted into a knot just at the idea of his wedding night celebration. Seeing her flushed features he smiled bcs he felt she understood his evil plans.

"Manik...! you know doctor said I need rest so no celebration....!" she replied looking down scratching his collar button in her nervousness. He placed a soft kiss at her forehead, seeing her features couldn't hide any emotion she might feel at that moment.

"I'll be gentle, I promise....!" he added further and holding her chin raised her face up. The way her golden brown orbs glittering with shyness that made him want to swap her up and kiss her until she forget her surroundings.

"I know last time I ignored you totally at our wedding day but now I wanna see every happiness at your face....!" this bitter memory carried him sadly back to that unpleasant day, which still have place in one corner of his guilt-full-heart.

"This time I want our marriage memorable thing of our life. I want to live every moment with you and want to make our togetherness a sweet memory...!" as he added she blushed crimson and stammered almost to tears and he was glancing at her having a promising smile. She hugged him throwing both arms around his neck when her legs crumbled beneath her and blood rushed to her heart with thud.
