A knock on the door made manik raise his head to look at the door where a young beautiful lady entered.......he raised his eyebrows in curiosity

Who r u and how can u enter in my office like this manik said with frowns on his forehead

Umm sorry sir but Mr aman sent me here.....he must have told u about me the lady said passing a beautiful smile as she flicked her hairs back

Ohhh so u r Ms prerna twirling the ballpoint in his fingers manik enquired to which the lady nodded

Have a seat he said in professional tone

So I hope he has briefed u about my working style.....u can ask anything from me about work......I want punctuality and excellence in work....my work is my first priority and I expect my team to work hard entwining his fingers as he rested his hands on table infront of him and spoke in bossy tone

Yes sir I wont disappoint u prerna said in confident tone and manik gave her a small smile as he handed her some files

Here r some details about companies offering us heavy machinery.....I just want u to choose some best deals for our company and u have to brief me at the end of day

Yes sir prerna got up and strode towards the door while manik kept looking at her all.the time biting the end of ballpoint just hoping that the new PA is as competent as aman....aman left the job as he found a better job and aman was the one who recommended prerna and manik couldn't deny as aman had served him for many years

At around 3pm manik called prerna and she gave a wonderful briefing about number of companies...their pros and cons...the reason why should malhotra industries prefer a certain company etc etc.....manik was quite impressed with her skills and it brought a huge smile on his face

M impressed Ms prerna at the end manik said and prerna smiled brightly ty sir

Ms prerna I want u to give an advertisement in newspaper that malhotra industries wants an interpreter who is fluent in French English and hindi...we need him for our new project Manik said as she was about to leave

Sir u dont need to worry about that....I can speak both French and English..so I can help prerna said and manik smiled at the talented girl......after she left manik stretched on his chair as he rubbed his temple.....he was tired and closed his eyes to relax...that was when Nandini's thought crossed his mind....he smiled as he grabbed his phone to dial her number but after few tries nandini didnt pick his call.....he frowned as he dialed once again but the phone became quiet after ringing for a long time

Where is she....she hasn't done that ever...even if she couldn't pick up the call she msgs me he thought in while rubbing the back of his neck in tension....suddenly that threat came into his mind and manik didnt even waste a minute as the next minute he was in his car.....he was rash driving and calling her constantly

Plzzz nandini pick up the phone he panicked as it was getting on his nerves....he wanted to see her safe he wanted to see her smile....gosh he justed wanted her in his arms

God plzzz keep her safe....protect her plzzz... I just cant loose her he voiced out and for a moment his hands shaked as his heart sank....he could feel it sth was wrong with her....like she wasnt alright...he sped the car and in 10 minutes he was infront of hospital...parking the car he ran inside and infront of doctor's restroom he saw few people shouting and hospital staff trying to calm them......

Where is nandini he asked an old nurse with uneven breath

Sir she is inside the restroom....they r attendants of a patient who died few hours back....dr nandini was dealing with his case the old lady informed him knowing that he was Nandini's husband the old man's son weren't ready to give him proper treatment and now they are putting the whole blame on dr nandini she added and manik's eyes filled with rage listening to their rude cmnts

Is their any fault of hers in all this though manik knew nandini still he thought to confirm and nurse shook her head....moving towards them he pulled a man back who was banging the door hard.....he held his collars and roared

One more word and I will forget that u just lost ur father he thought to go easy on them as he knew the pain of losing ur parents

Bcz of her carelessness we lost our father the second man shouted while the 1st one remained mum getting scared of manik we will file a case against her

No not bcz of her..she did nothing its bcz of u...ur selfishness cost ur father's life....she is here from 3 in the morning working nonstop even when u guys weren't there.....she is a brilliant doctor and also wife of manik malhotra..dare to defame her and then I will deal with u guys in my own way his eyes spitting fire and few minutes later the crowd dispersed....manik took a deep breath as he knocked the door

Nandini open the door...its me manik manik waited patiently...the door opened with a click sound and Nandini's colleague appeared.....he gave her a small smile as his eyes searched for his dearest wife.....he thanked Nandini's fellow doctor to be with her to support her when she needed it the most.....the young lady nodded as she left giving the couple some alone time....manik marched towards her exhaling deep breaths....his heart was at peace looking at his wife who was alright....nothing happened to her.....he kneeled infront of crying nandini and held her wrists with his both hands.....the next thing he knew he was hugging her tight trying to calm his inner turmoil.....her cries also felt like melody to his ears giving a sign that she was right there infront of him.....he gave a long kiss on her forehead as his thumb pads rubbed over her teary eyes collecting her tears

Bs nandini he said in soft tone as he rubbed her hand and nandini just threw her hands around his neck pulling him closer as she hid her face in his broad chest crying manik he died...I couldn't save him.....he died bcz I did some mistake....clutching his shirt tightly she wailed and manik rubbed her back

No u didnt do any mistake....u did an amazing job....u did what all u could do... cupping her face he said in gentle tone and nandini just looked at him with tears flowing out of her eyes uncontrollably

If I would have done my job more efficiently may be he wouldn't have died

We cant stop death nandini he said as he shook his head left to right asking her to stop crying.... ur whole staff is appreciating ur efforts

But he was in so much pain.....I couldn't relieve it a fresh pool of tears made it's way to her cheeks

Did u say all this infront of his sons also manik asked and nandini just kept eating her lower lip and manik tched

Nandini u know this world is full of cruel people who r always ready to harm u and u r way too innocent for this world thats why I always try to protect u.....u know u did a perfect job but by saying that u couldn't save him just bcz u think u should have done more than what u did but nandini they wont take it in a same way......once ur weakness is out and this world wont show any mercy....they will forget every gud thing of urs..they will forget how hard u tried all they think about is that u failed....that u r lacking somewhere and they have to take advantage of it..they will treat u like shit....even these days showing sympathy also costs u alot....u were just so involved in that patient's case and when u showed sympathy to his sons as they lost their father .....what they did...they just put the whole blame on u to save themselves from guilt, from bad cmnts of people..... being this gud in this world is also a sin as people here dont deserve it he said in gentle tone as nandini kept hiding her face in his chest sniffing while manik kept rubbing her back trying to soothe her........she placed her head on his shoulder with hands encircled around his neck while manik just kissed her hair

I have ruined ur whole shirt nandini pouted as she looked at his wrinkled shirt who had wet spots all over there while manik smiled getting up it's okay....tmhare pe 1000 shirts bhi qurbaan in flirtatious tone and nandini smiled as she too got up holding his hand

U haven't eaten anything from morning na??? He questioned raising his eyebrow and nandini bit her tongue as she realised that she was going to get a gud lecture from him..... huh I knew it he said with arms in akimbo position phle khud ka khayal to kar lo phir superwoman bnna aye bare logo ko bachana hai making a face he said and in return earned a punch from nandini u r very bad she complained

Not more than u manik continued as he tried to divert her mind from that incident.......stopping the car infront of a restaurant he wiped her teary eyes as he said I dont want everyone to consider me as an abusive husband....bechari bv pe zulm karta hai he glared at her as she was sad again abusive husbands cant be as handsome as u she winked at him ohhh trusting too much arent we he smirked and then pulled her closer remember m still monster manik....ur monster he growled as he threw his head in the crook of her neck making her giggle in response....they walked thru the lounge and everyone's eyes fell on the handsome hunk who was holding hand of an angel.....they were looking perfect with eachother and people there adored the couple...their gaze followed them all along and manik was aware of it but he ignored it putting on his arrogant mask...manik took her to private cabin and they sat on sofas infront of eachother....the waiter came and manik ordered food for themselves while nandini just kept staring at him and everything around them.....her mind was unable to get over the incident....that old man's face was cmng infront of her eyes again and again....manik understood her dilemma and palmed her hand where is ur cell phone nandini he said as he remembered what he had to go thru sometime back

In my bag she replied plainly to which manik gestured her to check it.....she opened the zip of her handbag and moments later she was pulling everything out of her bag to find her phone......hurriedly she checked her overall's pockets.....her Jean's pockets but she didnt find it mera phone she murmured in tensed tone

Yeah ur phone...u know what u scared the shit out of me....u weren't attending my calls responding to my msgs nandini.....

M sorry....I think I lost it she said in cracked tone as she was way too oversensitive at that time..... I troubled u... she lowered her head while biting her lower lip and manik sighed b4 getting up....he sat beside her and engulfed her in hug its okay....I was just concerned about u hw kissed the top of her head.....he didnt for once made her realize about her oversensitivity....he knew she needed his luv and care at that time and he was more than ready to give her all the luv...to pamper her....soon the food arrived and manik started feeding her despite nandini constantly saying that she would eat on her own but manik was manik....he paid no heed to her as he continued feeding her morsels while nandini was just speechless seeing his luv......

Ye lo special coffee by chef manik malhotra manik announced as he handed the mug of coffee to nandini who was sitting on swing on the balcony

1 coffee bnane se koi chef nhi bnta nandini mocked him getting back into her mood

Huh give it back to me...u dont deserve it he said as he tried to snatch the mug from her but nandini dogded him and sipped coffee while manik sat beside her

Yumm she said licking her lips as she sat on manik's lap and pecked his cheek it's perfect while manik smilingly wrapped his one arm around her petite figure and drank coffee from the same area from where she just took a sip and Nandini's cheeks burned at his act as she lowered her head to hide her blush

It became more tasty now he whispered in her ear sending shivers down her spine.....

Thnku manik she said in voice loaded with emotions as she looked at her husband who proved to be the best support....the way he handled her today left her speechless.....his every action was screaming about his immense luv for her

U know ur thanks could be much better he said as he eyed her lips

Pervert nandini murmured punching him on his stomach and manik made a grumpy face hearing that word from her mouth

U mean romantic he tried to force his words on her making a bad face

Nops with a lopsided smile I meant tharki she emphasised and manik made a face

Awww my baby she said as she ruffled his hair spreading them on his forehead and kissed the tip of his nose

Scene change

Few days later Manik was in his office he was wearing a white shirt with sleeves folded till his elbows and navy blue tie around his neck which was loosened a little as his coat was hanging on the back of chair while he was engrossed in his work.....pencils ,markers, chart papers, different files and articles were lying on the table in scattered form....his laptop was also lying on the table as he was looking for sth...meanwhile the door knocked and prerna appeared....they both exchanged a smile....sitting on chair across the table she handed him a file briefing him about the details while manik kept listening to her with a tired face....at the end she said sir u look tired

Umm yeah this project demands alot of work he said rubbing his temple

Should I get some coffee for u she asked with a genuine concern

Yeah plzz black coffee he said as he indulged himself in work again while prerna left the office.....after 10 minutes she came with a cup of coffee....she was about to place it on the table when her feet toppled and to rescue herself from falling she placed hands on manik's chest while her hairs flew around and covered her face....the coffee cup on her hand also fell spilling the whole coffee on manik who was taken back at the new problem.....wincing he drew his hand back which was burning cuz of hot coffee.......manik raised his head to find her completely over him.....

Ms prerna his voice brought prerna back to present who seemed to forget about her position.....she straightened up and looked at manik whose clothes were ruined and he was holding his right hand which was red

Umm sorry sir she panicked as she took his hand in her soft hands and blew air to reduce the pain but instead of serving the purpose it made manik uneasy as he stiffened under her touch.....quickly pulling his hand back he said it's okay

No it's not okay sir....I have spoiled ur dress too she said as she grabbed tissues and started cleaning his shirt while leaning closer to him

Ms prerna plzz I will do it he averted his gaze as she was wearing a short dress and manik tried to send her away but she was adamant to clean it on her own.......manik sighed as he raised his head but his eyes went wide to see nandini standing on door with her eyes spitting fire......he immediately got up flabbergasted at the situation which made prerna move away......from Nandini's eyes he could see what was cmng.....he ruffled his thick hair roughly as he licked his lips which went dry all of sudden hoping that his fate brought sth gud for him this time

So that's it....how was it.....start voting and cmnting guys it hardly takes a minute or 2 of urs but it can boost our confidence 100 times

So that was actually very sweet....manik is very supportive husband the way he stood up for her......the way he pampered her

few words about manik's new PA

And the last scene 😱😱omg what will happen next...will nandini believe him or not???
