Nandini was moving around in the room hurriedly trying to not get late for hospital while manik was doing everything to get her late.......he wasn't in a mood to go to office and neither wanted her to leave the home

Nandini where are my socks he complained and nandini who was already bearing his tantrums from so long turned around and looked at him as if she was about to cry

Wo kia hai manik she gave him an angry glare as she pointed at one edge of bed but he was manik malhotra on the other side....

Ohh sorry I couldn't see it he said without a glint of shame but as she turned around she saw his lips curving into a smile as he was purposely doing it

Nandini...... he called her to make an other excuse but nandini cut his sentence in middle

Manik everything is present there...dont tease me she said combing her hair and manik made a sad pout as he said

Nhi jate na......mera dil nhi kar rha he was acting like a school going child who was requesting his mommy to not send him to school as he laid down on bed grumpily

Manik we'll have a whole day after that....we'll enjoy at night she made a promise trying to coax him

Tie my tie he said grumpily and nandini went towards him knowing not to mess with that grown up child.....she grabbed the tie and raised herself on her toes to place it around his neck but seeing her struggling manik straightened himself more gaining some more height....nandini gave multiple tries but manik made them go futile with him stretching himself more and more and her short height added much to misery

Manik she growled his name in anger insaan bno slapping him on his chest she said and he smiled as he bent down infront of her like a gud boy but little did she knew that manik couldn't be a gud boy for so long.....seeing her long hair he leaned closer to her as he started rubbing his nose in her hairs inhaling her sweet scent and sending a tickling sensation in her scalp......sooner his lips were on her neck......he pecked her and that was when nandini pushed him a little by putting pressure on his chest and said kuch nhi hoskta tmhara manik....u r worse than a baby

And u r the cruelest wife he complained in helpless tone that made nandini laugh out loud but seeing him glaring at her made her stifle her laughter by palming the mouth

U know what ur aiyappa will punish u for not listening to ur husband he charged her like a child and nandini's laughter echoed behind manik who just went out of room in frustration......after breakfast they both were ready to leave the house when yash entered into the lounge....manan passed eachother a look with questioning eyes but finding no answer they turned their heads back to yash who was standing a few inches away from the couple

Manik he said and manik's eyes focused him m sorry for what I did he said looking at him with apologetic eyes

Plzzz dont say this manik said as he removed the distance with one step and palmed his hand u r like my father...don't embarrass me by saying sorry he said patting his hand and nandini's eyes glistened thinking about her right choice...how humble he was with her father despite every harsh thing he said

I did a mistake he said not feeling shy to ask for apology from someone younger than him

Baba will come in my dream to beat the shit out of me for demanding sorry from u he joked as he knew how dear yash was to raj parents dont ask for forgiveness..so plzzz he hugged yash and he reciprocated with tears in his eyes....they remained like that and then yash pecked manik's forehead

M proud of you that u proved me wrong he said and manik smiled brightly

*************

They were in car...manik was driving while nandini was just staring at his handsome face

Manik tysm.....the way u acted today made me feel proud of my choice she said as she placed her hand on his thigh caressing it unknowingly

I love u raising her head she looked at him and their eyes met....nandini's eyes held oceans of love for him

Kia khayal hai bv we can still go back to home he winked at her and she turned crimson red knowing his intentions

Don't u want to return the favor he teased her further as he leaned closer to her

U know I have a perfect plan biting his lip he looked at her and nandini's cheeks were turning pink by every passing second

Manik concentrate on the driving plzzz she created distance by placing hand on his chest and he groaned distastefully I would have thrown u out of window if I wouldn't have been in love with u.... he said glaring at her while she showed him her puppy eyes to melt him but he glared at her again making her sit straight as she started looking out of window.....stopping the car infront of hospital manik waited for her to exit the car not even looking at her showing his anger.....nandini grabbed her bag and stethoscope.....placing her one foot on road she was about to step out when she turned her head to look at her grumpy husband.....she leaned closer to him and placed a kiss on his cheek

My angry bird she cooed going all aww on him as she kissed her one more time grumpy baby she gave him another name with made him chuckle.....she ran her hand in his hair spoiling the hair style and manik groaned loudly nandini yaar

Bye she mouthed getting off the car as she saw manik giving her angry stares...turning around she winked at him and then went away leaving him smiling like an idiot

***************

After the press conference a crowd of journalists and other media person formed around prerna but police invaded it as they wanted to take her from there as soon as possible for the security reasons and also to investigate her more about the case.......a female inspector handcuffed her as they were taking her to police van.....one of the police soliders was driving her wheelchair.....she was about to get into police van when a masked man from somewhere in the crowd opened fire at her.....her head hung to a side as the bullet passed straight into her throat killing her at the spot while the soldier holding her wheelchair also died.....their was hustle bustle around as the police tried to catch the killer but like eveytime the witness died and police failed to catch the criminal....

*****************

Recieving bouquets and cards from different people after prerna's press meeting instead of elevating his mood irritated him much that at the end he wanted to punch all those morons and selfish people who were the first ones to blame him and talk bad about him....but after the truth was out and they were finding their best interest to have gud relations with manik they were acting like the most sincere and loving people on earth......like that he was occupied the whole day....he came into home all worn out and went straight towards his bedroom.....there he spotted nandini sitting on bed ....she got up and greeted manik and was about to go out when manik held her hand asking her to just give him some company.....she sat on bed again while manik after removing his shoes and tie laid down on bed placing his head on her lap while she started running her fingers in his thick hairs.....

How was ur day she asked

Dont even ask......my whole day is wasted in meeting some fake people listening to their so called gud thoughts about me he murmured as he again got angry remembering everything

It's okay she said and moved her index finger and thumb to remove creases on his forehead by moving her fingers over there

U r my strong man.... she said encouraging him to bear that as she knew that world is like that only....everyone is with u for his or her own purpose .....but the least she expected from manik was what happened

What do u mean that it will not be ending anytime soon and till then that I will bear it scrutinizing her expressions intently he asked with his eyebrows knitted together

Uff manik..u r unbelieveable she slapped his shoulder while he smiled and nandini shifted his head on pillow

Mein khana la rhi hn...freshen up hojao she said as she went out of the room......manik came out of washroom wearing loose shirt and trousers and at that very moment the door knocked...a servant appeared to inform manik about the arrival of some man.....exiting out of room manik ordered the servant to bring tea and snacks.....Arjun Kumar stood up and moving towards manik tried to give him a warm hug but manik forwarded his hand in a very cold way

Mr manik congrats....truth has finally come out manik passed him a forced smile which encouraged him as he continued

I knew it from very start that u cant do it and manik snapped his head at his direction....his stern face had him shift at his place uncomfortably as he struggled to dilute the embarrassment by passing a smile to manik but it didnt help in changing manik's expressions

How may I help u in formal tone manik addressed giving a clear signal to not be Frank with him while on the other hand arjun looked at the egoistic young man infront of him who was half of his age but still his tone was devoid of any respect for him

Ohhhh no mr malhotra....m here to invite u for a small party specially to congratulate u and celebrate the court decision in ur favour They were talking when nandini came with a trolley......she greeted arjun whose grin got wide seeing nandini and his eyes shone with a glint of liking towards her.....all this went unnoticed by nandini but manik sensed it and his facial muscles twiched as he clenched his teeth

Nandini u can go I will do it he said to nandini whk was busy arranging everything on table but nandini denied softly as their was no harm serving a man of her father's age..moreover it was always nandini serving and giving company to manik's frnds.......Arjun's eyes were all the time just scanning Nandini's every little move and that was it manik's patience ended

Nandini he growled startling her u had some work.....u may go now his voice a little soft but it still had warning which made nandini disappear from there without wasting a single minute and arjun didnt like the disturbance so he said

Mr malhotra beautiful ladies dont deserve to be treated like that arjun said making him more furious....how dare he say a word about his nandini

Mr arjun Kumar he minced every word u have given me the invitation...I will think about it so what's next he asked with his eyes boring into arjun

I guess nothing manik concluded by his silence u can go now he said showing him the way to entrance gate while he himself started marching towards the stairs....arjun wiped the invisible sweat off his face as if it weren't about his project and his benefit he would have fixed the rude guy.....

Meanwhile manik marched towards the room and there he saw nandinj roaming around as he opened the door.....a sudden rush of blood made his head to boil more in anger and he strode towards her angrily with his eyes bulging out of the sockets

U have brains or not he growled gripping her shoulders tightly catching her off guard

Manik Kia hogya hai she was too shocked to say anything......she didnt know why he was making it a big deal that nandini came infront of arjun

Why is it here.....kbhi use Kia hai ise he said boring his finger into her temporal area..tapping the skull over brain

Wo mere dad ki age ke hain manik....for God's sake stop she got irritated at his insecure and overprotective behaviour

For u he might be just like ur dad but u know what he said gripping her shoulders for him women r just piece of meat....damn it.....he was staring at u the whole fucking time

He is a womanizer he shouted pushing her lightly causing her to move back a step or two while nandini had nothing to say...she was shocked to find that ugly face of society....embarrassed she just tucked her hair behind ear and mumbled sorry

If this is how u PROTECT URSELF outside home than stay at home only in his anger he was crossing the limits....nandini said nothing just sat on bed bearing his anger

Bloody cheapsters....fake he said and seconds later nandini heard loud shattering of glass breaking as manik hit the decoration piece straight on wall

If it were in my hands I would have killed that bastard.....how dare he look at u his anger wasnt coming to an end and nandini who first wanted to stop him stayed there as such deciding not to mess with the angry monster at that time....he wanted to show his anger and she let him do that....he was destroying every little thing of the room one by one

I was a rapist for them and now m all innocent.....they want to celebrate a party and want to do it in my honour the central table turned upside down by manik and nandini shuddered at his anger but didn't dare to say a word

M innocent now....acceptable for them he said and with sweat on his face he threw himself on sofa all drained out

Woh reh gya hai after some minutes of silence be heard Nandini's voice.....clueless of what she was saying his gaze followed her hand and there he found a candle stand.....understanding the meaning of her sentence he glared at her to which she clarified immediately

Nhi wo baaqi Sara to Tor dia ye reh gya tha toh came her reply in meek tone but their was hint of mischief in it

Nandini he made his tone somewhat strict to stop herself from mocking him but who could stop nandini

It might be feeling lonely....sara kuch to destroy kar dia hai tmne she said supporting her chin with right hand palm and gazed at the whole room which was a mess

No....m not complaining she cleared looking at him waise bhi i was thinking of renovation...u just helped me she said and manik was irritated beyond limit

U r irritating me he said with a frown

Not a big deal...u r always irritated she made a face dusting her hands off as she gave him a cheeky smile

Nandini just go out he said pulling her up from bed meanwhile his shoe was cleaning the way for her down the bed as glass pieces were scattered everywhere

Why....why should I go pushing him away she sat on bed again tmhe masla hai tm jao in attitude she said as she opened a comic book adding much to his frustration

Ajeeb pagal hai he murmured going away and as he opened the door to balcony he heard her voice

R u in a position to say that she mocked him and he threw a cushion at her just wait....i will fix u too once I get free from here

The cold breeze was striking his face sending a soothing effect but his mind was still stuck there.....he wanted to get out of that mess but he wasnt unable to.....the frown on his face was saying everything......bending a little he rested his chin on the arms placed on railing and started looking at a sparrow couple.....he saw how a male sparrow was trying to manofy his partner after fighting with her.......but then she was angry and was turning his every effort down......a smile occupied his lips as he found the female sparrow cute like his nandini was.....seeing his every efforts failing the male sparrow rubbed his head all over the female one trying to manofy her.......he touched his peak with hers from back and the female sparrow turned back and hid herself in him.....manik was so into the adorable scene that he forgot his surroundings

Is every thing sorted now Nandini's voice brought him to presence and he tilted his head to look at nandini blankly

Nhi I thought u must be feeling awesome after ruining the whole room their was a hint of sarcasm in her voice again

Nandiniiiiiiiiiii he was cut off by nandini who placed finger over his lips making him susshh

Har waqt ghussa is not the solution....why r u wasting ur energy on things u can't change....u can't force people to change into ur choice....u can't inculcate loyalty in this mean world...all u can do is not to change urself for world....not to trouble people like u r being troubled....didn't u know it earlier that how these entrepreneurs are....is this ur first experience her tone changed into scolding one at the end and manik remained quiet knowing that she was right

We r going in that party nandini announced her decision as she turned around to leave....

But

But what??? She asked with a frown on her face

Nandini I had to prove myself infront of them the whole time and u r asking me to go there....dont u know what they did to me in serious tone

Isn't it a punishment for them on it's own.....I want to see people saying gud things about u....the same people who made it difficult for us to even breathe...I want to hear them praising u and ur gud morals she said and manik was taken a back at her approach....in that too she found a positive aspect....she took steps towards the bedroom door when she heard him tm bht ache ho

Aur tm itne hi bure ho she snapped her head back at his direction

M sorry he knew she was hurt

I didn't know that in home too I have to be alert and judge every single people.....I know how to protect myself and I was carefree knowing that u r here to make everything alright she said in hurt tone...not his words but his harsh attitude towards her surely hurted her

M sorry he accepted his mistake wholeheartedly

Ur one sorry and everything is alright she asked and manik just made a puppy face then what should I do he asked looking as innocent as a baby

Earn it she said and jerking his hand away which was holding her elbow she went inside the room.....sitting on bed she tried to read a comic book but the sad feelings didn't let her concentrate....she didnt feel bad at start but his sorry made her remember the whole thing again and she was hurt

A rose for a beautiful lady manik bent on his one knee and offered a freshly plucked flower from balcony flower pot....nandini gazed at him for a while and then took the flower....placing it beside her she again started looking at the comic book pretending to read it

Baby book to seedhi pakar lo he said with a huge grin on his face and nandini flustered as she turned the book in right position cursing herself for acting absentmindedly....manik smiled and sat on bed beside her

Manik pouted seeing her response but it didnt bring any change in her posture...suddenly the Male sparrow's way of manofying his female partner struck his mind....with a smile he sat on bed and started minimizing the distance between their lips....with wide eyes nandini stared at him but sensing his interest she placed hand on his forehead restraining his movement

Flirt karne ko nhi kha.....bs chance chaiye she murmured in angry tone getting off the bed and manik scratched his head sheepishly my sparrow doesnt like romance when she is angry

To apni bv se hi kar rha hn....bara kisi aur ki bv se thori kar rha he said pulling her wandering hair strand......slapping his hand away she said glaring at him

Karo flirt kisi aur se mene tmhe idhar se neeche gira dena hai she said as she averted her gaze to look at the ground floor and a lopsided smile appeared on manik's face hearing that

My angry cat he murmured as he jerked her towards himself by placing hand on her back and she collided with his chest

Manik she protested still angry

Sorry na Jaanemann he spoke in her ear rubbing his nose all over her cheek

Plzzzz....m sorry he dipped his head inside her neck and his sharp hair tips tickled her neck skin and she giggled in response

Thnk God u smiled he sighed in relief as he heard her giggle

U do this every time she said with her lips curved downward as she was about to cry

I wont do it again he held her ears apologetically and seeing her not responding he winked at her and made a face asking her to forgive and she smiled resting her head on his chest

U have to take me for shopping as a compensation she demanded and manik hummed as he wrapped arm around her and they both walked towards the swing...sitting on it they started looking at the group of birds who were flying to go back their homes....the cool breeze was sending chills down the spines but their warmth was enough for eachother to bear that little cold environment....

U must be hungry It just slipped out of my mind...uff nandini u r such a blunderhead slapping her forehead she said as she hurriedly wore her slippers but manik held her hand

Hmm bhook to lagi hui hai but ye chance kbhi kbhi milta hai let it be...u just stay beside me yanking her back nandini fell on manik's lap and he covered her with his jacket so she was sitting on his lap with her back glued with his front both encased in a single jacket and they were watching the beautiful sky with variety of orangish and red shades...in between manik was also stealing kisses time to time which nandini didnt mind at all

So that's it guys....I got some time to end the update as it was in my notepad since long atleast 2 3 weeks ago but I wasnt getting time to edit it so here it is....thnku for being so patient and accepting me with my irregular updates 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
