Hey Guysss...

Here i am with another chapter of this story after a lonnnngggg time.

Badi mehnat lagi ye chapter likhne me. Pata nahi u guys will like it or not.

Malhotra Mansion-

As the four of them reached the Mansion, it was almost evening.

Manik and Nandini were still not in talking terms.

Nyonika and Soha went to Nyonika's room.

Nyonika- Ye Manik aur Nandini ko kya hogaya achanak se. Dono ek dusre se baat kyu nahi kar rahe hai.

Soha- Aunty jo bhi hua hai acha hi hua na. I mean think this way. Atleast Manik won't be under the magic spell of Nandini. I think Nandini ne hi kuch kia hoga jisse Manik naraaz hogaya hai.

Nyonika- U think so.

Soha- Yes Aunty... And its a perfect opportunity for us .

Nyonika- U are right. Atleast Manik will now get to know the real face of Nandini.

Soha selfthought- And then I will be successful in throwing Nandini out of the house.

Soha smirked and left from Nyonika's room whereas Nyonika went to freshen up n take some rest after their long journey.

Meanwhile in the kitchen-

Nandini after freshening up went to the kitchen to make dinner and Manik followed her.

Manik- Need any help????

Nandini- No Thank you. Mai kar lungi.

Nandini started chopping vegetables.

Manik- R u sure???

Saying this Manik came and stood right behind Nandini resting his chin on Nandini's shoulder.

Nandini- Manik... Please hume kaam karne dijiye.

Manik- Arey... Mai tumhe rok thode hi na raha hoon. Infact i m offering to help u.

Acha btw... Ye angry mode off karo and smile.

Nandini continued chopping the vegetables.

Manik- Oye Hoye... My angry bird. Itna gussa mat karo. Look your face has become red due to anger.

Nandini looked angrily at Manik.

Manik- What??? U dont believe me. Let me show you.

Manik clicked few pics of angry Nandini and showed it to her.

Manik- Khud hi dekhlo how your face has become in anger.

Saying this Manik laughed a little.

Nandini in an irritated tone- Aap kabhi hamari baat nahi maante na. Theek hai. Hum aapse baat hi nahi karenge. Aapko jo karna hai kijiye.

Manik thought for a while.

He smirked and said- Well in that case, let me take anothet pic of u.

Nandini stomped her foot and moved away from Manik and continued her cooking. Manik went away from there as he saw Nyonika coming towards the kitchen.

Manik selfthought- Lagta hai she is super pissed off. Kuch to karna padega. I need to talk to her.

Nandini finished cooking and as she was about to leave the kitchen, Nyonika entered.

Nyonika- Nandini dinner me kuch meetha bhi bana dena. Raj ka mann tha kuch sweet khane ka.

Nandini- Ji Mummyji abhi bana deti hoon.

Nyonika went to the dinner table where every one were already present and occupied her seat.

Nyonika- Manik kya hua hai tujhe??? Aise sad face se kyu baitha hai. Agar koi baat hai to bol Beta. Subah se dekh rahi hu tujhe. Kuch pareshan lag raha hai.

Manik- No Mom. Aisa kuch nahi hai. Mai.. Mai to bas Bua ko miss kar raha tha. Thats it. Nothing more .

Nyonika- Bas itni si baat hai. Ya kuch chupa raha hai tu mujhse.

Manik- Mai kyu kuch chupaunga aapse Mom.

Till then Nandini brought the dinner and served it to everyone.

Nyonika- Ok. Agar tu bolraha hai to maan leti hu.

Manik smiled and nodded in a yes.

Nandini sat opposite to Manik but didn't look at him while having dinner.

Manik's several attempts to make her look at him failed. But how could he accept defeat. After all he was Manik Malhotra.😉😉😉

In this process, he indirectly teased her a lot.

Manik - Mom... Apko nahi lagta ki khaane me mirchi kuch zyada hogayi hai???

Nyonika tasted it and said- Nahi . Mujhe to theek hi lagraha hai.

Manik looked at Nandini n said- Pata nahi mujhe bahut hi teekha lagraha hai.

Nandini looked at Manik who winked at her.

Manik took each morsel of food looking into Nandini's eyes.

After finishing dinner, everyone departed to their respective rooms.

But Nandini instead of going to Manik and her room, went to her old room.

Though it was all part of their plan, but Manik didn't like this but he kept quiet as Soha would get suspicious if he objected.

That was the last thing he wanted.

After tossing in the bed for half n hour Manik took his mobile and dialled Nandini's number.

Nandini- Hello...

Manik- Hey.

Silence....

Manik- Nandini.... Don't hang up. Ek baar meri baat sunlo. Fir tum jaisa bologi waisa hi hoga.

Silence...

Manik- Listen Nandini... I know for a fact that you dont want me to go ahead with the idea of teaching Soha a lesson. But trust me. There is no other way we can do this.

Nandini- But Manik...

Manik- Nandiniii... If u have any other plan, tell me. We dont have any other option. Think about it.

Nandini thought for a while n said- Do u think it will work???

Manik- Ofcourse it will work Nandini. Just do as we decided.

Nandini- What if something goes wrong???

Manik- Dont worry Nandini. Kuch galat nahi hoga.

Nandini- But Manik... I m scared.

Manik- Do u trust me???

Nandini- Yes i do trust you.

Manik smiled and asked- How much do u trust me???

Nandini- Huh???

Manik- Bolo na Nandini....

Nandini- Don't u know it?

Manik- Aise nahi yaar. Tell me. I want to hear it from your mouth.

Silence...

Manik- Ur silence doesn't answer anything. I want to hear it .

Nandini in a whisper- I trust u more than myself.

Manik ran his hand in his hair while lying down on the bed with a slight smile playing on his face

Manik- So tell me... R u still mad at me?

Nandini - Yes.

Manik sat up straight with a shocked expression- Whatt ??? But why???

Nandini- Because u troubled me a lot today. And on top of that u were having fun troubling me. Aap bahut bure ho...

Manik smirked hearing Nandini's
innocent complaints to him and again lied down on the bed.

Manik- So u mean to say that i am not a nice person. Is that what u mean to say???

Nandini- No. Humne aisa kab kaha???

Manik- Acha... Then tell me what do u think of me???

Silence...

Manik- I m waiting....

Nandini- So u want me to shower false praises on u???

Manik- Ohhh... Trying to act smart and all with me... huh!!!

Nandini- Not trying... I am already smart.

Manik- Right... But seriously Nandini... Tell me. What do you think about me???? I want to know your honest opinion about me and what you feel for me..

Silence....

Nandini didn't knew what to say. Though she had a clear picture about what she felt for Manik but she didn't know how to put those feelings in words.

Manik- Comeon Nandini... Don't be silent yaar. Atleast not today. Your silence is killing me.

Nandini- Kya bolu mai Manik...

Manik- Jo bhi tumhare dil me hai sab boldo. Aaj chup mat raho. Ek toh this distance is testing my patience and then your silence is more torture.

Nandini- You are my life, everything.
I feel so lucky to have you in my life.
I love how gentle you are with me.
I really appreciate the fact that you listen to me and let me vent out.

Whatever you are doing in this Soha's matter, I noticed that you did (this) for me. Thank you for being so thoughtful. I really appreciate it. You’re very sweet with me and I love it.

I feel like I can accomplish so much more in my life because I have you as a safety net.

I always feel supported by you and it means so much to me.

I’ve never felt more safe and comfortable around any other person. I love being in your presence and i love it when u hug me.

In darkness your cuddles feel like a little touch of heaven, warm, together, cozy. Your arms wrapped right around me bring a peace I've never known before, a calming of the storms in my heart. I think it's you that gives me hope for the future. Your cuddles are the only medicine I need, they are the light in the darkness, a lone star in an otherwise empty sky.

Your cuddles are the only antidote I have to this world. I want u wrap me in your arms and never let go, keep me safe and warm. In return I'll never let go of you, love you, defend you, keep you safe. If in all this cold universe there is only you I can truly love, it is enough. You are the spark to my flame, the one who keeps me burning.

Manik was flattered with Nandini's words of praise for him.

Manik- I am flattered...

Nandini smiled and said- Aap ne khud ki tareef to karwali. Ab ???

Manik- So u want me to say about my feelings for u.
Well... Uske liye to i am always ready.

Phewwww...
