She moved inside the kitchen to lay down their lunch and make some other arrangements...

Once she was done, she moved to room and sat beside Manik and then woke him up...

N: Manik uthiye..

M: Ummm... I want to sleep... Tum bhi aa jao....

N: Are lunch time hai, please aaiye na...

Manik opened his sleepy eyes as he was still sleepy...

N: Chaliye lunch karle hum...

M: Ummm... Sona hai...

Nandini could not resist it and so she kissed his cheek tight and said...

N: Do not be so cute pie... I cannot resist kissing you then... You need medicines to go into your system so get up...

M: I don't want them. I want you, you see you are my drug.

N: Yeah right whatever...

Nandini then helped him get up and then they both moved outside in the garden and seeing the view Manik was stunned as it was beautifully decorated..

M: Why these 8 candles...

N: Well we are married for almost 8 months so for today I will give you 8 promises whichever you wish for...

M: Where is the proposal...

N: Well if that is so important then, Nandini took a rose from the table and then started saying but not before siting on her one knee... Manik immediately asked her to stand up but she gave a hand to him asking to sit on chair and not stain himself... Manik felt so shy with it and cursed himself for the day when he asked her to propose her...

N: Manik I might have told you 100' s and 1000's of time that I love you, how much I love and what not regarding my feelings but today I will tell you those small things of your's which make me fall in love with you daily, and may be I might fall in love with you everyday.

Let us start from the mornings, it makes me feel so blessed to see you embracing me in your hold so tight as if the worldly things cannot touch me no matter if you are wake or asleep. The cute pout that you make in your sleep as if begging mom for something. I feel like pulling your cheeks at that moment.. The care that you show when I am moody makes me think at times of the good deed that I might have done to get you in my life.

You know the respect that you show not to me as your wife but to every lady makes me feel proud on the fact that you have been given so good manner that I want our boy to be your exact replica.. The equality that you have shown not only in our relationship but also the fact that you want me to keep my head high even educationally and professionals makes me have pride on myself that I chose to give this relationship a chance...

These are just a glimpse of how I feel for you, I do not want to exaggerate but it is true.

M: Please stand up...

Nandini did stood up while Manik held her hand and brought her closer to him, he made her sit on his lap and pulled her closer to himself... He was so close to her that their eyes can see through each other while their noses touch literally while he said...

M: These things that you said na are too much for me to handle, I just feel myself to be amazed that you feel this way for me, while I promise to respect you the way you love. While you can kiss me whenever you think I am cute, but let this cute thing be between us only, you see I have this reputation to be maintained of handsome hunk and I cannot put it into gutter...

N: Done deal...

M: Then let us seal the deal...

Saying this without waiting for her response, he just kept his lips on her's..

It was so slow soft and with lots and lots of love, there was no hurry in leaving each other. They were celebrating it with love...

Finally not wanting him to stress she moved a bit far but with the palm of her hand she held his face and was now roaming her finger on his face adoring him. While their eyes still locked with each other drowning in the deep ocean of love that they both had for each other..

M: Let's work on the blank promises from you later and first let us have our lunch.. We need to leave for home also, as mom might need some help and then you would start cursing yourself for not being able to be with her so better the promises are worked at later stage... 8 blank promises from you are there pending for me, what say...

N: Done then.

M: Acha for now feed me with your own sweet hands... It is the best thing after mom of course...

N: You know, you should feel lucky at times that I am not insecure about you, warna the first person for whom I might be insecure is mom, I mean you and her bond is so different so pure...

M: Really, but it was mom only who selected first you for me, you see or I was least interested in getting married.

N: Yes, I recently got to know that... You are so bad, you never told me that it was mom...

M: As if that would change anything... My mom any ways takes your side making me bad guys almost all the time.

N: Yeah right.. Because you are a bad guy after all..

M: Now feed me.. I am kind of hungry.

Nandini did start feeding him while Manik who was enjoying her attention while she was talking about her college and her studies and in all this Manik was listening to her like a good listener..

M: Nandini tum bhi khao.. your this tummy also need fuel.. tum Na recently bahut ignorant ho gayi ho I have been noticing...

N: Kuch bhi...

M: nope ... Look at your waist it fits almost in my one hand only... What have you done to my dear lovely wife... Nandini I know you were stressed out but now I am fine, I will handle office you just concentrate on your studies and health.. Now no compromise.. Look at these dark circles you look the worst of yourself..

N: Manik, I do not care how I look. for me the most important thing is the you are fine now... see with the care your fracture in hand healed in 10 days and the rib recovery is upto the mark and you are fine.

M: Nandini, I will be fine only, you, mom, aneri, maa all were there taking care of me with healthy food some home made medicines and taking care of me day and night. But I will feel happy that you are well and healthy and doing just fine. Nandini we both need to take care of ourselves not for us but for each other as we both are linked and each other's life gets affected as seeing each other in pain was something they both will suffer.

N: Manik at that moment of time I was just thinking of the day you would get up and be fine as this makes me feel proud that I was there when you got well.

M: It is just useless to discuss these things with you.

N: That is much better as Manik I have always told that if made a choice between my family and me and then the family always top the list and that is what I have learned all my life..

M: Why are you so stubborn about this thing. But I do not want to go off with my mood so leave it... Let us cut the cake...

Nandini stood up from his lap and moved aside and brought the cake and lit the candle.. While Nandini asked Manik to ask for a wish and did his wish was well being and success of Nandini and that was what he always wanted that.

He cut the cake and then fed her the first and then she fed him the other part...

N: Happy birthday Manik... May god grant all your wishes...

M: You are my lady luck so no things can stay far from you...

N: While that is a big complement for me and I take it positively so thanks...

Manik leaned in and kissed her cheek while they both wrapped all the things and started their journey back..

M: Acha nandu what is the first blank promise that you want to put by yourself.. I mean I am being good with you...

N: Really then to I need to be good too...

M: Haan haan woh to hai...

N: Fine, I will cook a dish for you every Sunday... well most of it...

M: Ok accepted... Second one is that no matter where in the world we are on our special days like your birthday, mine, our anniversary, or you see our kids birthday or their some special moments... We are gonna cherish them together and not the other way around.

N: Well too much furture planning...

M: Well not exactly...

N: Ok done deal.. Then the next one...

M: Ummmm... No matter what happens, we will be together till our last breath...

N: Why are you thinking like this...

M: Nothing serious.. I just want to confirm that you have no way to leave...

N: Fine done...

M: Sochne do, you see kitni mehnat karni padti hai...

N: Acha...

M: Haan dekho you know I love you in saree and those sexy lingerie that we have got.. Well if we are at home then a saree and any foreign trip then I want you to be in only these and close to me...

N: You and your dirty mind... Fine with me... But ismai koi bonus mujhe bhi milna chahiye.. So if in any case I feel lazy to move then in that case I will wear what I want...

M: haan thik hai... May be those times my shirt would do... Remember the first night of ours at farmhouse.. Gosh my hormones boost to no end thinking of it at any moment.. The best time that I have spent with you....

Nandini was full on flushed with the blood flowing to her cheeks making them look more crimson with that beautiful shy smile playing on her lips...

M: Haay this face of yours blushing and happy for me makes me want to kiss them so hard that you cannot imagine...

N: Manik please let me concentrate... I am driving...

M: Yeah yeah romance killer...

N (Sternely) : Manik....

M: let me hear some music and do not think that the other promises are forgotten, I will ask for them soon... But for now it is a break...

N: Yeah right...

Manik did not let her speak much and then started playing some soft music while he was chatting on youngsters group and who were discussing about the evening party...

While Nandini was concentrating on driving...

But in all this one message from Manik's P.A made him stiff in his place which was notice by Nandini as his ever so jolly mood immediately turned into something horrible.

Nandini kept her one hand on his thigh to grab his attention.

N: What is it...

Manik did not want her to worry.. So he immediately nodded in no as if nothing...

N: Do not lie, on this day Fab 5 won't say anything that will make him worry so it has to be someone else...

Nandini had already parked the car as they have reached home but then they did not move from there...

M: Nandini there is nothing..

N: Truth now...

Manik took a deep breath trying to process what is happening and should he tell her or not..

N: I want one more promise.. And that is no matter how difficult it is to digest we will be at par to discuss each other's every problem. So now out with it...

M: Nandini the attack was a framed situation from Siddhart sharma, the man who was the second competitor and who would have got the project if Murty Industry had not come up with the offer.

N: Means the owner of Sharma Industries..

M: Yes Anurag just got the information and those goons ran away as a policeman tipped them about their arrival so someone in that police station is helping.

N: It is ok Manik, we will think about something...

M: No Nandini, that attack still gives me nightmares that what if they would have done something wrong with you. I would have never been able to come out of that thing..

N: Manik first thing, paa has always made me that much strong for self defense as he knew that if I am strong then no one can harm me.. Secondly, I did protect myself at that time and I can do it more often...

M: But...

N: Relax we will figure something out but not today...

M: Haan fine.. But you are gonna take more self defense classes.. As I want that you be that head strong, infact even Aneri, Mukti, Alya and Navya will join I want all of you to be strong...

N: Thik hai... Abhi chalo... Look at mom there... She is getting hyper and I do not want her BP levels to boost running behind taking care of things.

M: Haan haan, Adarsh Bahu mode is on so I need to take a narrow way out.. So I am in room you take care of things... I will be fine myself so take care.. and haan do not give too much stress to my already stressed out wifey...

Saying this he winked at her while they both moved out..
