"Hello" and nandu answers her call while manik rests his head on window and "am already missing you"

"manik" and nandu whispers in a low tone while he closes his eyes and "I know....i know....it has been just 20 seconds"

"and you seriously have to stop behaving like a kid manik" and navya snatching the mobile from nandu utters sighing and "you are getting married....you are gonna live your dream....aur tum aise pura karoge apne sapne ko....khud roke aur nandu ko sath main rulake....common manik....just enjoy this phase too....aur don't you dare call again or else I have to keep this mobile with me"

"No....!!!" and manik screams opening his eyes making fab 4 roll their eyes in car while navya smiles staring at confused nandu and "ok....so now be a good boy....bye"

Manik cuts the call cringing his eyebrows while nandu taking back her mobile messages him that she will call back as soon as they reach their house making him a bit relaxed....!!!

"It took two hours to reach back house for you???" and manik utters accepting the call while nandu lays back on bed sighing and "sab log sath main the tho bath kar rahe the....sorry"

"arey nahi....sorry kyu....jao jake unhi ke sath bathe karo....mujhe tho vaise bi koyi kaam nahi hain....yuhi baitunga tumhare intezar main" and manik utters staring city lights from his terrace while nandu remains silent without replying making him roll his eyes and "ab bath bi nahi karni hain tumhe mujhse"

Hearing no reply from her he sighs closing his eyes and "am sorry....i just got used to stay with you and now without you being on my side....its just....i hate this feeling"

"have you ever thought how I survived without you being on my side for five years" and hearing nandu whisper on the other side manik opens his eyes with a jerk and "nandini"

"you say after getting used to me you hate staying away from me and it's just for two days but did it ever occurred to you how I felt knowing that you weren't coming back to me anytime soon back then when you were literally my entire world" and nandu utters in a low tone while manik tightens his grip on his cell and "why didn't you ever said me this"

"Because though I hated it....it was my choice....waiting for you and loving you was my decision and I couldn't blame you" and listening her reply manik closes his eyes yet again and "am sorry"

"I didn't say it to make you feel bad....you know we have been through so much and we will go through so much in our future too.... being childish is good while being together in love but you have to know how to act maturely according to the situation too which unfortunately you lack seeing our present situation" and manik nods his head as If she could see him while she continues staring her ceiling and "I love the way you miss me and want to stay beside me but at the same time I know that it's not always possible....I don't want you to be stucked in your life because of me just because all you think and do is about me"

"says the one whose entire world rotates around me" and manik whispers with a small smile while nandu bites her lower lip & "and who exactly said that you"

"your heart....thats thumping like never before against you" and he utters daring her to deny while she rolling her eyes ignores his words and "you done with the dinner"

chuckling he leans back against railing opening his eyes and "yaa and you"

"done....i guess now you should return back to room....its cold outside" and she utters putting the call in speaker while he silently starts walking back into room loving how well she knew him and "I just realized that it's our first late night conversation"

"heheheh....yaaa" and she whispers placing her cell on pillow beside her while he lays back in his bed shutting the room door and "you sleepy???"

"no....by the way you okay right....you are not crying anymore na" and hearing her words manik laughs loud and "am not totally okay but ya am not crying....so don't worry"

"guys would normally jump if they get a chance like you....they would enjoy staying single but you are just one weirdo" and she whispers playing with her hairs while he cringes his eyebrows and "when I know I would enjoy more staying with you why would I jump by staying single"

"it's all just in your head....i mean look at me am happily laying here without you and in fact feel glad at this chance" and she utters knowing he can see through her lie while he licks his lips controlling his smile and "you sure about that....I mean are you really happy that you are not pressed up against me feeling my warmth???"

"yaa" and she utters clearing her throat while he smirking hugs his pillow close to his heart and "oh you are actually happy that you can't feel my lips tracing your ear whispering you a good night???"

"uhm...!!!" and manik shakes his head knowing that nandu has already closed her eyes and "so you are saying that you are actually happy that you can't feel me peppering kisses starting from your jaw down to neck down to your....!!!"

"manikkk" and hearing her whimper he gulps down controlling himself and "yesss"

"stop it" and she hides her face in pillow while he holding back himself from running towards her turns to his side and "why....you are not sure that you would be happy after listening to all my questions"

"just shut up" and she mumbles into pillow while he still getting her words places his cell on bed beside him turning on the speaker like her and "yaa yaa....but know that you can stop me for only two days"

"I am sleepy" and nandu mutters controlling her blush even though he wasn't beside her while he whistles lowly and "we both know you aren't and are just lying"

"stop troubling me and talk something else" and hearing her reply manik gets serious and "fine... when will the haldi cermony start tomorrow"

"It actually depends on you....my haldi cermony will start as soon as I get haldi from you after your haldi cermony" and manik raises his eyebrows listening her words and "I didn't get it exactly what does that mean"

"I will be applied with the haldi that is sent from malhotra mansion which is also applied for you by all the elders....in short we will be sharing the haldi seperately" and manik listening to nandu reply chews his lower lip and "ok....i got it"

"hmmm....you should sleep now.... you were busy the entire day and have lots to manage even tomorrow too" and nandu mutters in a serious tone while he closes his eyes taking a deep breath and "sing me a lullaby"

"haa??" and nandu lifts her head getting surprised while manik glances around aimlessly and "you heard it right....please"

Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori

nandu slowly starts in a soft tone after few minutes of silence while manik closes his eyes hearing her voice with a smile playing on his lips.

Chandaniya chup jaana re
Chan bhar ko luk jaana re
Neendiya aankhon mein aaye
khana mere so jaaye
Hmm...
Neendiya aankhon mein aaye
Khana mere so jaaye
Leke godh mein sulaaun
Gaaun raat bhar sunaaun
Main lori lori
Ho main lori lori

closing her eyes nandu pictures herself singing the lullaby with manik resting on her lap while he forgets everything lost in her

Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori
Lori lori lori

she lowers her voice as if whispering him while he relaxes himself in her pleasant tone controlling not to fall asleep so soon

Gardhaniya chun chun baje
Palkan mein sapna saje
Dheeme dheeme haule haule
Pawan basanti doley
Hmm.
Dheeme dheeme haule haule
Pawan basanti doley
Leke godh mein sulaaun
Gaaun raat bhar sunaaun
Main lori lori
Oh ho main lori lori

nandu bites her lower lip imagining manik sleeping form only to hear his slow and steady breaths soon after stopping her song and realize that he was actually asleep.

"good night love" and she whispers biting her inner cheeks smiling ever so hugely and soon joins him in her dreams drifting into peaceful sleep.

Next one will be a long one so just adjust with this for now.

PS : Happy Mother's Day
