Elevator :

Manik start walking towards Nandini with slow and steady steps..but his slow steps was making HER heartbeat run faster...his desire full eyes was giving her jitters...the way he was looking at her...was making her breath caught in her throat..she feels like...her heart will pump out ...in mid of all these thoughts...Manik reached her...she was pinned to the wall of elevator.. And manik leaned on her...their breaths mingled up with each other...when his warm breath touched her cold face..she felt thousands of butterflies in her stomach..she closed her eyes in anticipation..manik smiled looking at HIS effect on HER..

Manik : "abhi toh maine kuch kiya bhi nahi ..and you are already shivering.."...he said seductively in her ears..and she opened her eyes and looked at him ..she pushed him and he smirked..while she was totally embarrassed not by their closeness but how her body react only by the way he looks at her...

Manik : "kya hua?..control nahi ho raha tha.."...he said mischieveiously and there she was blushing hard by his remarks...his voice itself was making her insane..she so wanted to pull him from his collar to her..and kiss him sensuously till the eternity..

Manik : "jo tum soch rahi ho..you can go ahead ..i won't stop you either.."...he said and her shameless thoughts broke at first..issshhh! this man can really make a innocent patient soul.. vulnerable...

Nandini : "whaaattt?..III..I waaasssn't ..thhhiinnkkiinng..tthaaat sooort offf"...she some how managed to say this in her shivering stammering tone..

He came close to her and placed his hand on her bare waist and yanked her closer...

Manik : "what did i said..you were thinking..THAT?.."...he said last word almost whispering in her ears ..and she was totally lost in the aroma ..he created all around her...

Nandini : "Maaannniiikkk"...she moaned his name in pleasure as he start rubbing his nose in the crook of her neck..she clutched his blazer tightly in her fist..and made her face a little in her either side..to give him full access...

Manik : "what you hiding?.."...he said while his hands were moving seductively on her back..and he was moving his face all over her face..with his eyes closed...as if he was inhaling the scent of her..which is enough to make him turn on...

Nandini : "Mukti is upset.."..she said totally lost in his charm..and bearing his sweet tortures...he moved his lips on her lips..but didn't kissed them rosy luscious lips.. she tried to fuse her lips with his..

But he wanted to bring out truth from her..so he decided to tease her only..but how can he control his desires..the blood inside his veins has became warm till now..here mere touch on him..and he lost all his senses..but some how today he is controlling...as he has no other option...

But if this was some other day..or the situation was something else..that he would have surely till now inside her and made love to her..he was totally aroused ..he so wanted to feel her inside ...and he would have surely done that till now ..but but but..the situation demands something else...

Manik : "kyu?.."...he said in his husky voice ..after kissing the corner of her lips..and she was only moaning in pleasure...

Nandini : "She doesn't like our closeness.."...she spilled the beans and this statement made manik stop his doings..and leave their love teasing session in mid..he opened his eyes and moved back ..after missing his pleasurable touch on her..she also opened her eyes in surprise...

Manik : "so this was bothering you.."...he said wrapping his hands around his body..and she was totally shocked...she spit out everything..and he actually managed to bring out the real reason...

Nandini : "you were playing all this while.."..she said in surprised tone...

Manik : "yes ..i were..as you had left no option..ab bolo ..puri baat kya hai...otherwise i have my ways to bring out everything...and i don't mind to stuck in this elevator with you .."...he said with a signature grin on his face and she gave a deadly glare to him..

Nandini : "you are such a monster manik..."...she said while shooting daggers on him..

Here she was dying to be touch by him..his small mere touch on her and she was so lost that she wanted to make love to him..right there..and he is saying ..he was only teasing..he was playing ..just to bring out the truth...

Her heart was screaming..."forget about the god damn reason..and let's complete ..what he has started..don't leave the session in mid..."...

And her mind was screaming..."No way! ..how dare he?..he was playing..now don't even let him touch..don't tell him anything..."...

After a never ending fight between her heart and mind..she put pause to them...and gave a deadly glare to him..but deep inside she also wanted to share with him..as she knows ..he will understand her..

Manik : " I'll take it as a compliment..so bolo?.."...he said and leaned on her front wall..and stare at her...he was totally ready to listen her story...

Nandini : "what?..is am seems to be any speaker to you?..lok sabha mei baithe ho?.."...she mocked at him..as the way he was looking at her..it actually giving her the impression that she is some kind of story teller..and who is going to narrate a Bollywood blockbuster hit movie's story...

Manik : "hahhahhhaha.."...he laughed without any emotion..it was a plain simple laugh..like he was only saying the words ha ha ha ha ha ...

Manik : "ho gaya tumhara..now say it.."..he said plainly and narrowed her gaze on him..he smiled a little looking at her sweet cute angry expression...

God! only this girl can drive him crazy..only she can make him smile..when he is highly agitated...or highly pissed off..only she has the caliber to bring THE MANIK MALHOTRA on his knees..only thing makes him weak..and strong at the same time is SHE..none other than ...NANDINI MANIK MALHOTRA...his sweet si shona..

Nandini : "Mukti is upset ...she said she don't like you..like seriously ..she don't like you Manik?..it's all my fault..sab meri galti hai..agar mai use aur sabko humare mei bata deti ..toh esa kabhi nahi hota..she doesn't like the way..you stare at me.."...she said all this in a guilt filled voice..manik's face became soft listening her tensed tone..he stood properly and walked towards her...

When he reached to her..he instantly cupped her face in his hands and said..

Manik : "itni si baat ke liye..you were tensed?..you were ignoring ME..your MANIK..you PATIDEV?..hmmm.."...he said looking in her eyes..now she placed her hand on his one cheek and answered back..

Nandini : "Mere liye yeh choti baat nahi hai..my best friend..who is like a family to me..doesn't like my husband...it's a big thing manik..mai yeh kabhi nahi chahti ki koi bhi tumhe galat samjhe..you are best person in the whole universe.."...she said with a soft yet love filled voice..and he was bowled out...

Yes! THE MANIK MALHOTRA ..who can make whole world dance on his small finger..has bowled out in front of a simple yet so powerful girl..her words ..her action always amazes him...he always think only one thing and that is..what good he did..that he found Nandini..as his true soul mate...

Manik : "and you are the best person ever made by almighty..and indeed ..am blessed with the best..."...he confessed genuinely holding galore love and passion in his eyes...

Nandini : "Manik..stop complimenting me..we are discussing something serious.."...she said as now he was playing with her hairs ...he smiled at her complaint..

Manik : "acha baba..am sorry..bas..lo kaan pakad ke sorry.."...he said and held his ears and this cute gesture of his..made her smile...

Nandini : "you are my sugarplum.."...she said after pulling his cheeks with her hands..and he was surprised by her acts...

Manik : "aooouuu.."..he hissed in pain rubbing his cheeks..while she smiled and soon a satisfactory smile touched his face..finding her shona smiling ..her content face..always soothe his aching heart..her smile is his peace and for that ..he can even cross river of fire..

Manik : "just keep smiling..because adhi problem to tumhari smile solve kardeti hai.."..he said with a broad smile and she just looked at him...

How much this man loves his girl..nobody has the answer to it..not even GODDESS APHRODITE herself...as whenever she witness these two from the heaven..she always have one thought in her mind..that..are they love birds?..or love itself?...they truly defines love ...MANAN IS LOVE..and she being the goddess of love...shower her blessings on this heavenly couple ..who are irrevocably in love with each other..they didn't fell in love..but they actually..rise in love..

Nandini : "Manik sab meri galti hai..i should have tell Mukti about us..."...she said with a guilty and said face..

Manik : "shona..relax..tumhari koi galti nahi hai..listen to me..carefully.."..he said and dropped a assuring kiss on her forehead which works a medicine for her...

Manik : "Mukti doesn't like me..because she doesn't know me..as simple as that..usne jitna mujhe observe kiya hai..usi ko lekar she has created a image of mine..like..when i stare at you..she being a concerned and genuine friend..thought wrong about my intentions towards you..which is very natural..koi bhi genuine..caring friend aese he react karega.."...he explained her like a dad explain his daughter ..

Wow! what an amazing bond these two share...they understand each other like a true genuine friend..they fight like tom and jerry..they stand beside each other..like a family..all in all..they both are world to each other..every single relation can easily be find in their pure world..where there is love and only love...

Nandini : "par.,..."...she tried to interrupt and he placed his finger on her lips and shushed her...

Manik : "shhh! ..let me complete.."..he said and she nodded like a small baby...he removed his finger and pecked on her tempting lips..on which she blushed like a typical girlfriend ..

Manik : "rahi baat unhe humare barei mei batane ki..toh hum jarur bataenge..jab tum chaho..par ese nahi shona..mai chahta hoon jab saaro duniya ko pata chale humare relation ke baarei mei..us waqt koi bhi tumhe as Manik malhotra's wife nahi dekhe..balki mujhe as Nandini malhotra's husband dekhe..bas itna sa dream hai..jis din pura hoga..i will be the happiest person of this whole world..."...he announced with immense happiness in his eye

And Nandini was so numb to react..his each and every word cast spell on her..she was only drowning in his deep ocean like eyes..his selfless love..his true concern..will make her crazy..a unknown lone tear fell from her eyes..which was a sign of her respect for manik..the sign of happiness to have HIM as HER husband..truly ..he is best husband...

Manik : "kya hua shona..why you are crying?.."..he said with a worry all over his face..looking at those tears in her big doe like eyes...

She without saying anything hugged him tightly..and he also took her inside his embrace..she was hugging him as tight as she can..pouring all her love in that hug..

Nandini : "I love you Manik..i love you so much.."..she confessed and her confession made him stunned but in other second he realize that state of her heart..and why won't he can't figure out...as he resides in her heart..he knows her every single heart beat..

Manik : "I love you too Nandini.."..he also confessed and both stayed there like that only..as they are in their paradise..the most peaceful and secured place for them..to be in each other's embrace..

After some good time..

Manik : "shona..ab bahar chale..otherwise..hotel stuff yahan aa jaega.."..he said as still she was in his arms..listening him..she broke the hug and he kissed on her head...

Manik : "don't worry..Mukti will accept you MONSTER..pakka.."..he said and winked at her..she smiled to him...as she knows..one day mukti will definitely see the goodness of Manik..

After that Manik turn on the elevator..and when they reached at 4th floor...Manik asked Nandini to go in her room and take rest..while he go and plan for the evening..as they all have to leave for sight seeing ..so she need to take rest ..and she obeyed his instructions..the whole floor was empty as it was VVIP area..which manik had specially booked for Nandini and secretly for himself as well ...after seeing Nandini entering inside her room..he took the same elevator and went back to the ground floor..

Nandini's Room :

When she entered inside the room..she was overwhelmed with the interior of the room..a beautiful smile spread all over her lips..she walked inside..and the best part of the room came in front..

From the balcony of the room..there was a perfect view of TAJ MAHAL..and this is the specialty of AMAR VILLAS..from all the rooms TAJ MAHAL is to be seen..that too very clearly..she smiled looking at that love monument..

She then came towards the window of the room...and looked outside..it's evening by now and because of winters..the sun set very soon..and the lights of whole hotel was enhancing the beauty of it...

Nandini : "it's so beautiful.."..she said and walked towards her bed...and sat down on it..it was a very tiring day...

Just then she heard her phone ringing..she picked out her phone from her bag..and answered it...

Nandini : "hello.."..she answered and next what she heard from the other side..made her speechless..her jaw dropped in surprise ..she was feeling like she is flying in air...

Nandini : "is this is really true?.."..she asked ..just to make herself believe on the news...and when she received positive response..she was in great pleasure...

Nandini : "thank you.."..she said in exciting tone and cut the call..she instantly dialed manik's number but stopped in mid...

Nandini : 'Nahi..ese nahi..it's a big news for both of us..and i know..mujhse jyada you will be happy...so Mr. Manik malhota get ready to get the happiest news of your life..of our life..."...she exclaimed in a joyous tone and went inside the washroom to freshen up...
