In London at malthora house!

Manan were sleeping hugging each each other, both had content smile on their faces. Manik's hands was wrapped around Nandini waist tightly.. Nandini was snuggling into Manik..

Manik slowly opened his eyes and looked at his Jaan who was trying to snuggle to him more.. his lip curved into beautiful smile.. then his gaze fell on clock... he moved his arms from Nandini waist and slowly untangled himself from Nandini... he then carefully got down bed and watched Nandini snuggling into duvet.. he smiled and bend down to peck her forehead.. he saw her lip curving into smile while she was sleeping..

He again pecked her forehead and left the room not before closing the door quietly..

Manik walked down the stairs... he reached to last stair when he saw raj coming to him with full speed.. raj stopped on last stair and puffed... Manik got confuse seeing raj panting..

Manik : dad relax.. why you panting so much?

Raj gave him look then took another deep breath....

Raj : what?

Manik : i said why you panting so much?

Raj : woh... princess cake...

Manik : huh!

Raj made face and slapped his head lightly.. Manik rubbed back of his head and glared raj..

Manik : dad why you hit me? I just asked you why you came running down the stairs!

Raj : don't repeat the question again. I'm not deaf.. okay! I ran from my room because princess birthday.. and the cake isn't done yet!

Manik made oh face.

Manik : dad I know it's Nandini birthday tomorrow. Why you getting so hyped up.. cake will be made soon..

Raj : look who is saying? Manik beta do you know how to bake cake?

Manik : dad don't forget your princess taught me some cooking... she taught me how to bake cake..

Raj : my princess is best.. come let's go.. we don't have much time left..

Manik : yes let's go before Nandini wakes up..

Raj : yeah... she will wake up not finding your presence..

Manik : dad can you stop talking about my personal matters!

Raj : personal matters.. nothing has been hidden from me..

Manik made irritating face and went to kitchen leaving raj smiling.. raj too followed Manik....

Raj came to kitchen and saw Manik taking cake ingredients out.. raj came and stood by Manik and took bowl out..

Manik : thanks dad!

Raj smiled looking at him..

Raj : what kind of cake are we making?

Manik : Nandini favourite chocolate cake.. dairy milk chocolate cake..

Raj : sounds yummy.. shall we starts making it..

Manik nods... Manik first took someone dairy milk chocolate out from fridge and kept on kitchen slab.. Manik was instructing raj while raj was making the cake batter..

Soon they poured dairy milk chocolate batter in baking tin.. Manik already preheated the oven.. Manik then kept cake in oven and helped raj cleaning the mess which both father and son created..

After an half hour later Manik took cake out of oven and looked at raj who was already gazing at the cake..

Manik : come dad.. last step to decorate the cake..

Raj : yes..

Manik took icing and starts decorating the cake. Once the cake was done.. Manik kept the cake in fridge and looked at raj..

Manik : dad I'll bring Nandini down till you decorate the table and bring the cake..

Raj : done..

Manik immediately rushed to his room as there was only few minutes left to be 12 am in London.. Manik opened his room door and saw Nandini stirring in sleep.... he knew the reason why she stirred in sleep.. Manik moved to bed and settled on his side.. he starts caressing Nandini's hair and bend down to Nandini's ear.. he softly called Nandini name..

Manik : Jaan... Jaan.. love... wake up..

Nandini who wasn't sleeping deeply as she couldn't feel Manik's presence beside her... Nandini slowly opened her eyes and immediately looks at Manik who was smiling at her... she frowned seeing him smiling middle of night.. she immediately sat on bed jerking Manik.. Manik immediately cupped her face..

Manik : Jaan what happened? Why you sat like this? You could have got hurt!

She smiled seeing his concern..

Nandini: mani I'm okay but why you wake up middle night... didn't you feel sleepy.. you could have woke me up... come lay down.. you need to sleep...

She tried making him pulling on bed but Manik stopped by holding her hand.. she looked at him..

Nandini: don't you sleep.. I'm sleepy.. please..

Manik : Jaan only few minutes of yours I need.. you can sleep afterwards... actually there is something I want to show you..

Nandini: show me what? Can't you show me tomorrow morning..

Manik nods.. Nandini got down from bed even Manik did.. before Nandini could leave the room Manik palmed her eyes.... Nandini got shocked and confused too..

Nandini: mani why you closed my eyes? How will I see? Open my eyes please!

Manik : Jaan I'll take your down.. don't argue.

Nandini slightly nods.. Manik took Nandini down... as he was coming down with Nandini he saw raj standing in hall with small table decorating and cake was placed in middle of table.. he smiled at his dad.. both father and son looked at each other and passed smile to each other..

Manik with Nandini reached in hall.. he brought her middle of the table... he was still palming her eyes...

Raj nods... soon Manik came holding pizza box.. Nandini stood up and went to kitchen to bring plates.... Nandini came back with plates and sat next Manik.. Manik took slice and gave it to raj first then Nandini.. he took himself and starts eating..

While talking raj asked about Nandini birthday plan. Though he knows whole plan but still wanted to show that he was not aware of it..

Raj : Manik what's the plan for Nandini birthday?

Even Nandini got excited hearing raj question. Every year she knows her mani makes her birthday special.. she wants to know what's special this year.. Manik who was eating and noticing smile on Nandini face understood what she was thinking.. he smiled at her then looked at raj..

Manik : dad it's surprise.. I can't reveal yet! You both have to wait.. sorry!

Nandini made face but smiled thinking about the surprise.. Manik saw her smiling..

Manik : Jaan why you smiling?

Nandini: uh.. nothing... mani shall we sleep..

Manik : oh yes.. let's go.. birthday girl..

He swiftly picked her up in his arms and walked to his room... he came inside his room and laid Nandini down on the bed and went to close door....

Manik came back to bed and came over Nandini...he deeply stared her before taking her lips on his... he kissed her gently with full passion.. Nandini too responded with same passion... Manik broke the kiss.... before Nandini take her breath back Manik again placed his lips on hers... this time was more passionate than before.. he was kissing hardly... he was nibbling her lower lip... Manik kissed her like he never kissed or like he waited for this ages to kiss her..

Finally Manik broke the kiss and rested his head on her chest.. Nandini caught her breath back and brought her fingers to Manik's hair... she starts ruffling his hair..

After sometime Manik rolled from her and came to his side.. he pulled her in hug and kissed her forehead...

Manik : happy birthday Jaan.. I love you so much..

Nandini smiled at him..

Nandini: Thank you mani.. I love you you..

Manik: good night Jaan..

Nandini before she could reply his goodnight she slept while snuggling to Manik's chest.. Manik smiled and again pecked her forehead.. he pulled duvet over them and he too closed his eyes..

Next morning!

Manik was first one to open his eyes.... he firstly admired his sleeping Jaan.. he pecked her forehead and cheek..

Manik : happy birthday Jaan... wish you always stay happy..

Manik caressed her Cheek before getting out of bed.. he walked to washroom.... he got Fresh up...

Manik came to his room and saw Nandini sitting on bed with phone in her hand.. she looked worried too.. Manik while wiping his hair moved to Nandini..

Manik : Jaan what happened? You look worried!

Nandini looks at Manik..

Nandini: mani I'm trying to call amms chachi.. but no one is picking my call... they always have called me before I wake on my birthday and wish me but today... I'm worried what could have happened...

Manik : Jaan don't worry.. maybe they got busy.. I'm sure they will call you...

Nandini: maybe you right...

She kept her phone and threw duvet over her and came to Manik.. she ruffled his hair while lifting her foot up.. Manik smiled and pulled her..

Manik : good morning Jaan!

Nandini: good morning mani...

Manik : fresh up.. we need to leave for office too..

Nandini nods..Nandini left taking her clothes.. Manik then moved to his closet and took his office wear out and starts wearing them..

Once he was ready he moved to mirror side and set his hair.. he wore his watch.. perfumed himself.. he picked his phone from bed table and shoved in his pocket..

While he was doing this he heard washroom door clicking.. he lifts his gaze and got lost seeing his Jaan beauty....

Only word escaped from his mouth...

Manik : beautiful...

Nandini hearing him blushed... and walked to him... she took tie off him and wrapped around his neck... Manik was too busy drooling over his Jaan.. he didn't even realise when she came near him...

Nandini tied his tie and fixed his collar... she then fixed his blazer too.. Manik was still her beauty tranche.. Nandini moved distance away from him and saw him still drooling on her without blinking.... a red hue came over her cheeks... she then held his wrist and shook him..

Manik finally came back to earth and gave her beautiful smile...

Nandini : done drooling over me!

Manik : I wasn't drooling over you but thinking something deeply...

Nandini: oh acha.. what was that?

Manik lips got tightened hearing Nandini...

Manik : Jaan you know how hot you look in this saree...

Nandini: I know..

As she said Manik smirk vanished...on every birthday Nandini wear traditional... such as saree... suits.. but she more prefers saree... even Manik loves her in saree...

( Manik's suit.. ignore the shade on him)

Nandini leaving Manik moves to dressing table... she brushed her hair and wore her watch on left hand... she then applied minimal make up on... while Manik was doing one thing... staring his Jaan...

Nandini: shall we leave!

Manik : yes..

Both walked down and saw raj ready too.. they wished him good morning.. raj too wished them back.. Nandini took his blessing too...
