"ouch !! manik...kya kar rahe ho tum??"

"pyar kar raha hu ar kya!!"

"ye pyar ni torture hai.."

"tum chahe kitna v deny kar lo...but i know u enjoy the torture" he spoke mischievously and he was right, i liked the feel of his hands over my body, and most importantly over my upper part. The way he treated them, gave me weird sensations, i remove his hands expecting that he puts them again. I am crazy and he knows that!!

"manik"

"hmmm"

"sing a song na..i want to hear you sing"

"singing...hmm..nice way to save yourself from my tortures"

"manik" i glared at him.

"acha baba..kitna gussa karti ho yaar tum!!..mai majak kar raha tha.."
...

He brought a paper with the lyric and his guitar.

"chalo we will sing this song"

"par mai q?? "

"nandini, ye easy hai...see i will show, you just follow , ok..."

"o...k"
...................

Manik:-

Hey Hey Ey Ey Ey Ey Hey Hey Hey Hey...
Tumhe Pata Toh Hoga, Tumhi Pe Main Fida Hoon

Tumhi Mere Har Pal Mein, Tum Aaj Mein, Tum Kal Mein
Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona...

Nandini:-

Tumhe Pata Toh Hoga Ke Mere Dil Mein Kya Hai

Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona...

Manik:-

Tum Jo Ghussa Bhi Karo Toh Mujhe Pyaar Lagata Hai Jaane Kyun

Nandini:-

Main Toh Jo Bhi Kahu Tumhe Ikraar Lagata Hai Jaane Kyun

Manik:-

Tumhi Mere Har Pal Mein, Tum Aaj Mein, Tum Kal Mein
Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona...
Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona, Hey Shona...
Hey Hey Ey Ey Ey Ey Hey Hey Hey Hey...

In the middle of the song, we had started doing ball dance. And as he finished , he pulled me into him and held me securely so that i don't run away.

"itna acha gaya tumne..jaan..u deserve a reward..." he drawled eyeing my lips.

"acha.." i spoke innocently

"hmmm" he spoke inching closer to my lips

I wanted to tease him by running away but i couldn't. It always happens with me that i decide to not give in so easily but one look in his eyes and i melt. His eyes have that smoldering effect. He definitely knows to cast a spell on me. And i closed my eyes, waiting for him to claim my lips. I was waiting and waiting. Why is he taking so much time? Then i realised, he is not even holding me like before and i opened my eyes quickly only to find him standing at a hands distance and smiling mischievously. At the sight of this, my blood boiled. Here i was waiting , like a fool, to be kissed by him and he, god knows why he is standing there and smiling. I glared.

"what? Why are you glaring? Were you expecting something nandu??"

Nandu, wow, my heart wanted to smile at that but i managed to put up a straight face, folding my arms over my chest.

"oh acha...i got it, you want the reward..actually i don't have anything right now...baad me kuch jarur dunga...pakka.."

Is he trying to irritate me? Of course he is!! Ok i will show him now. And i gave him a cold , expression less face and moved to the closet to change into a saree. After putting on the accessories, i turned to him. He was watching me all the time with an amused expression

"mai niche ja rahi hun, maa-papa ar mukti ke paas."

"o k"

I looked shocked at him. Ok? Just ok?...how can he be like this...matlab last night i submitted myself to him...is this the result of that? Since he got what he wanted...toh he will treat me like this.

My eyes welled up and big fat tears started flowing unrestricted. May be he realised that i had not moved an inch, so he looked up from his phone with a smile. But his smile faded the moment he saw my tears. He came running to me from across the room and cupped my face, and spoke wiping my tears.

"hey , jaan, why are you crying???, kya hua??"

"kya hua?" i spoke hiccupping . he still hasn't realised his fault. Wow, just wow!!

"haan, kya hua?"

Then he looked at my accusing look

"oh god..."

But before he could complete, i came out of his hold "since kal raat tumhe mil gya jo tumhe chahye tha...toh ab tum mere sath ase behave karoge??" and i ran from there.

"shit!! , nandini...!!!!" i heard him utter but i did not stop.

I came down and wiped my tears completely before ringing the bell. I didn't want to worry my in-laws with this typical husband-wife fight. A servant opened the door. I got in and saw mukti, getting her nails done by a beautician and maa was getting pedicure. Papa was no where to be seen. I smiled at them.

"hey nandini, what a surprise!! Aaj toh Saturday hai, i thought tum free ni hogi..." she spoke suggestively. I blushed while maa smiled

"wo...kal manik ko itna bara project mila ar hmlogo ne sath baith kar baat v ni ki thk se..islye i came down aur wase v aaj ka hamara koi plan ni h..wase papa ni dikh rahe..is he not in home??"

" nahi beta, maan ghar par hi hain, study me kuch important business calls attend kar rahe hain, manik kaha hain??"

"maa wo upar hi hain abhi, kuch kaam kar rahe hain..."

"oh ok, ao tum v kuch karwa lo...pedicure, manicure??"

"hmmm, maa foot massage, will relax me a little"

Door bell rang. Servant opened the door. Manik walked in hurriedly but studying the atmosphere, he changed his demeanour and looked at me with pleading eyes. But i ignored him.

"arey manik beta tum agae..ao yaha baitho..wase kal tumhe congrats bol diya tha par av maine tumhare favourite kheer bnai hai. Khaoge ??"

"haan maa, bilkul, aap puch q rahi hain , bas le aiye"

"Samantha, "

"yes ma'm"

"maine jo kheer bnai hai wo lekar ao sab k lye, ar dekho maan agar free hain toh unhe v bulao, bolo manik aya hai.."

"jee ma'm"

Kheer was brought and served. Papa also had come by that time. Manik was trying to talk to me. He made several attempts but i just ignored him. After finishing the kheer i asked mukti

"mukti, lets go in your room, i will get my foot massage done and we will also have some good girls time"

"yes , i like the idea, lets go"

We got up to leave. Manik wanted to stop me but seeing that its his sister, he couldn't do much. So he decided to just sulk there.
...
"mukti"

"hmmm"

"apart from fab 5, do you or manik have other friends?"

"no, nandini, we don't have other friends, yeah, since we are in glamour industry, so "muh bole friends" hain kuch kuch...but true friends are only fab 5 and of course navya"

"hmmm"

"par tumne pucha q??"

"nahi bas ase hi...out of curiosity, ar koi reason ni h"

Just then her phone beeped. She checked it and suddenly , she was all red, but trying to act normal.

I thought of poking my nose into her matter.

"kaun hai mukti??"

She fumbled "umm..hmm..abhimanyu hai...wo aaj Saturday hai na toh sab busy hai, mai hi free hoti hun, islye he just messaged me"

"oh..hmmm...bhai is so alone, thank god atleast someone is there..in the form of his friend...thank you mukti" i genuinely thanked her.

"arey its ok..nandini.."

Before she could complete, there was a knock on the door.

"mukti" manik spoke from outside.
"yeah i m coming bhai..." she shouted . then spoke to me in a low voice "bhai, tumse dur ni reh sakte hain" and she winked to which i smiled.

Manik and maa walked in.

"sorry nandini, mai tumhe btana bhul gyi, kal tumhra chura utarne ki rasam hai ar kitchen mein entry ka v...ok...? so subah me ready ho jana "

"jee maa" i nodded.

I saw him pleading again and i saw mukti too was observing us. I quickly glared at manik and gestured towards mukti that she is watching. He changed his expressions.

Maa left from there. Manik had no option but to follow her.

"tumhare aur bhai ke bich me sab theek hai na?"

"haa of course" i answered quickly as i was expecting this question from her.
...

Manik came in.

"nandini, tumhe sona ni h..its so late chalo"

"nahi manik, abhi main ye movie dekh rahi hun, uske baad hi soungi...tum so jao..bye good night" i spoke without taking my eyes off the screen.

"haa bhai, aaj nandini ko yahi rehne do na..mujhe kitna maja araha..ek hi din ki to baat hai" mukti pleaded and i thanked her in my mind for unknowingly helping me.

Manik made a puppy face. "ok..thk hai..par nandini tum 2 minute k lye bahar ao..mujhe kuch baat karni hai"

Mukti paused the movie "jao, jao..baat kar lo..maine movie pause kar diya"

I had to go to avoid mukti's suspicion.

As soon as i came out of her room , manik grabbed me in a tight hug. But i didn't reciprocate. I was still angry on him. "listen nandini, asa ni hai jaisa tum soch rahi ho...mere dmag me asa thought cross v ni kar sakta hai, wo v tumhare liye, kabhi ni...please trust me..."

He said without breaking the hug.
"manik, choro, koi dekh lega.."

"dekhne do..you are my legally wedded wife.. koi crime thori kar raha hun..jo darunga..."

I hardly managed to hide the smile that was building up on my face.

"acha thk h..tumne bol diya..maine sun liya..ab jao.."

"aey tum abhi bhi gussa ho...acha sorry bol raha hun na mai...ab chalo..na mujhe tumhare bina nind ni aegi..plzzz"

"manik mai ni aungi..bye"

With that i came out of his grip and turned to walk away.

"mai tumhra wait karunga"

...
It was well past mid night now. Mukti was fast asleep, but i couldn't sleep. What if really he is waiting for me?? Should i go and check?? Com'on nandini, don't be so egoistic, go and check. I got up and came to his door. The door was open, so i walked in.
The sight in front of me was adorable as well as confusing. Manik was sleeping sitting on the floor and taking the support of the living room sofa. Several magazines were spread around him, scissor, glue, sketch pen, pencil etc etc...what was he doing? I walked closer to him and found him holding a photo frame near his chest. I managed to take it out from his hold without disturbing him. It was my photo. I was in awe. He is so cute. I sat down beside him and kissed his cheek lovingly. He woke up and started blabbering.

"nandini, i am sorry, ok, i m really sorry, mera wo matlab ni tha, sachi, i swear on myself. I was just teasing you. Tum gussa hoti ho toh your nose tip becomes red and you look very cute yaar, bas islye mai tumhe tease karta hu, main tumse bahut pyar karta hu and i can never think of hurting you, i am sorry, sorry..."
He would have continued, but i shhhed him by my fingers. "manik, relax, mujhe bura laga maine bol diya, mai kuch bhi dil me ni rakhti hun. But mai av thk hu...so you don't need to chant sorry ok...wase ye sab kya h??" i spoke pointing to the magazines. He scratched the back of his nape and spoke shyly "wo mujhe laga tum bahut gussa ho toh mujhe kuch karna chahye tumhe manane k lye...so i made this.." he handed me a sorry card. The cover of the card had a boy sitting on his knee and holding his ear while the girl stood in front of him folding her hands over her chest. Red hearts were painted all over the card. He had really put in a lot of efforts. It was clear . he was looking expectantly at me, i smiled. He gestured me to open the card, i opened it. I found a lyric written.
I read the lyrics and looked at him. He smiled. I felt like a stupid to doubt his love for me. "manik, i read the lyrics, its very soulful, but i didn't get the rhythm, tum gaa kar sunao na..plzz" he smiled , got up and pulled me along with himself to our bedroom. He sat on the bed with his guitar and i sat facing him, keeping my chin on his raised knee. He started singing and i kept looking in his eyes.

Muskurane ki wajah tum ho
Gungunane ki wajah tum ho
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na..
O re piya re..
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na..
O re piya re..

O re lamhe tu kahin mat jaa
Ho sake toh umr bhar tham jaa
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye naa..
O re piya re..
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye naa..
O re piya re.. piyaa re..

Dhoop aaye toh, chhaanv tum laana
Khwahishon ki baarishon mein
Bheeg sang jaana (x2)

Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na
O re piya re..
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na
O re piya re.. piya re..

Jo mile usme kaat lenge hum
Thodi khushiyaan thode aansu baant lenge hum
Jo mile usme kaat lenge hum
Thodi khushiyaan thode aansu baant lenge hum
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na
O re piya re..
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na
O re piya re.. piya re..

Muskurane ki wajah tum ho
Gungunane ki wajah tum ho
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na
O re piya re..
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na
O re piya re.. piya re...
Piya re...
Wo o ho... oo...

he kept the guitar aside and i hopped in his arms for a tight hug. "jaan you are my life...please never doubt my love for you. its very painful"

"i m sorry manik"

I broke the hug and looked at him. I wanted him to kiss me. I waited and he understood it, when i didn't pull back. And ever so softly he placed his lips on mine. We kissed like we had never kissed before. There was something fresh, something new, about the kiss. We were partners in the kiss with amazing co-ordination. When he sucked my lower lips, i sucked his upper lip. I waited while he tasted and explored my mouth, and when he was done i did the same. While still in the kiss, he made me lay down along with him on the bed. He removed the pallu from my upper body and palmed my bosoms from above the blouse. I moaned in his mouth and arched my back in pleasure.

I broke the kiss and turned around on the bed, so that he can open my blouse. He got the hint and being the smart one, he got rid of both , blouse and **a. He kissed all over my exposed back. And then made me turn around to face him. Both the coverings of my upper body were now somewhere on the floor and i lay exposed under him. I pulled his vest off his head and he bend down and started sucking and licking my ni****s teasing me with his tongue. I already started feeling tingling sensations in my lower part. After torturing both my bosoms equally manik looked at me and then the folds of the sari on my waist. That means , he doesnot know how to get rid of them as quickly as possible. He needed my help. I smiled and raised my hip to pull off the sari from under me and threw that on the ground followed by the petticoat. "why do you wear so complicated dresses, instead, when i m around just be in two-piece bikini, itna time toh waste ni hoga!!" he spoke rolling his eyes. "shut up manik, ab tum bakwas kar k time waste kar rahe ho, main ni" i replied annoyingly. He chuckled "ok i won't waste anymore time" and he pulled off my panty in the next second and positioned himself in between my legs. I remembered suddenly "manik!! Protection.."

"oh yeah, sorry, i forgot in the heat of the moment" he stretched to reach the bedside drawer and did the need ful. After that he entered inside me with a thrust , i clutched the pillow tight to stop myself from screaming, but it didn't help, instead manik's lips on mine, sushed me. I pulled his hair but he didn't react and waited for me to calm down. I started responding in the kiss, it was then that manik began his job of in and out. This time was better than the last time, because we knew better, where to channelize our excess energy.

After sometime i came on top of him, "nandini, baby, it will be painful for you, you don't need to.."he tried to reason, i replied "manik you like it na, so i will do it" he wanted to argue further but i hooked my finger in his black thread of the neck and pulled it, he raised his head and i placed my lips on his for a hungry kiss.
...

It was 8 in the morning, when i woke up. I had to be ready by 10 for the rasm. I looked sideways to see manik , but he was not there. Where is he? I moved a little and my waist hit something hard. I looked down to find manik sleeping near my waist. I smiled at the sight. And sat up, near him. I ruffled his hair. He raised his head and placed it in my lap, burying his face in my stomach. "manik, good morning, baby" i referred him as baby, as he looked like one , right now. "ummmhmmm, jaan , thori der ar so jao na..." i chuckled. "its ok baby, tum so jao, you must be tired, mujhe ready hona, maa wait kar rahi hongi.."

"nahi tum uth jaogi toh mai so nahi paunga..mai b uth jata hun.."

"so jao na...wase v tumhra waha par koi kaam ni hoga.."

"unhun.."

"o..k..

"nandini"

"haa"

"lets refresh ourselves in jaccuzzi, it will relax you and me too"

"ok then you go first"

"arey buddhu, sath me chalte hain na...time save hoga ar water v.."

"manik.."

"what manik!!, itna acha idea diya h maine, u should thank me"

"ok thank you..but no thank you..bathing with you , today, is a bad idea"

"arey but why why??"

"because tum mujhe pareshan karoge..and i don't have time for that"

"arey ni ni ...mai bilkul acha baccha ban k rahunga..pakka"

I narrowed my eyes "pakka?"

"yeah of course" he spoke innocently.

"ok"

It seemed a nice idea. I turned around to go but through the corner of my eyes , i saw manik blowing a punch in the air happily. I turned quickly to face him and he acted as if nothing happened. I shook my head and walked ahead. He followed me obediently. As soon as we were in the jaccuzzi, manik started with his naughtiness. In the name of massaging, he touched all the right places of my body. All in all , we had a short love making session, before i managed to get out of the jaccuzzi and headed to get ready while manik sulked there for half an hour more , for he didn't get to finish his job..
