Nandu : hmmm....shs just hummed holding him tight ......

Manik is saying sweet things to her and finally she slept ......he sighed in relief and thought of changing her mood ......

He called the reception and ordered their food to room..,..

After sometime there is a knock on the door, he made her lay down properly and took their lunch .......

He took his laptop and did some work when she is sleeping...... He moved to her on seeing time .....

Manik : mini....utho ....

Nandu : no I want to sleep ....

Manik : I ordered lunch, eat and sleep .....

Nandu : u know I have jet lag issues ...

Manik : we are not going out today ...have food and sleep .....

But nandu didn't move ,manik sighed and brought the food tray and placed on bed ....he pulled nandu holding her hands and held her in his arms....

Manik : open your mouth...

Nandu slowly opened her mouth leaning on to him ...... He slowly fed her lunch and she ate with closed eyes like always, he smiled looking at her and after feeding her made her lay down and covered her with duvet .... She slept peacefully....manik Completed his lunch and watched tv to pass time ..... And slowly even he fell asleep .....

The room they stayed .....

Nandu woke up to see manik sleeping beside her , she smiled looking at him.....and got up and moved to the balcony .....

Their balcony .....

View from her balcony ....she is just standing there enjoying the climate .....bcoz it's just late afternoon......

She just sat on the chairs admiring the nature , don't know for how long she sat like that , she got a call from karan, she lifted the call with a smile ....

Nandu : hello karan bhai....

Karan : hello , so how's everything there nandu ???

Nandu : everything fine bhai...

Karan : ok , where is manik ???

Nandu : I think he just slept .....

Karan : ok than when he wakes up ask him to call me ...

Nandu : ok bhai ......

Manik is sleeping peacefully and his phone started to ring ..... disturbing his sleep ...he woke up and lifted the call to see it's from ......

Cabir ....

Manik : ha bhai bolo ......

Cabir : video call karo ammu wants to talk to u .....

Manik : ok bhai ....saying he cut the call and got up from bed , he didn't find nandu in room , so he moved out to find her , he found her in balcony looking at the view , he moved to her in his sleepy state and put his chin on her shoulder , Nandu got scared for a moment , but relaxed  on seeing manik ....

Nandu : you scared me idiot ....

Manik : kisiki itni himmat nahi hae to touch my wife when I am  with her .....

Nandu laughed listening to him , but manik is still sleepy so he wrapped his hands around her stomach  , making nandu shiver and placed his head properly on her shoulder and closed his eyes , nandu is feeling different  , she is just blushing looking at their position,bcoz it's the first time she felt their hug so intimate bcoz it's always a hug or side hug but this is something creating Butterflies in nandu, she slowly moved her hand and ruffled manik hairs ,he snuggled more into her and rubbed his nose on her shoulders , nandu just let this new feelings consume her, she didn't push him or run away but welcomed all these feelings ......

Nandu : still sleepy ....

Manik : cabir bhai disturbed my sleep, he says like a kid still being the same position.....

Nandu : what did jiju say ???

Manik : oh no , he asked me to call back saying he just moved back normally , but nandu felt incomplete without him , she felt peace in his arms ......

Manik took his mobile and did video call , manan spoke to the whole family and made fun of each other ......

Finally they cut the call ,

Manik : shall we go for a walk ....

Nandu : ok I will just fresh up, you talk to karan bhai , he called for u , saying she just left inside .....

Manik called karan and spoke for sometime, he moved inside to fresh up , but what he saw made him stop on his tracks , nandu is standing there in front of the mirror in just a towel , looks like she had a fresh bath , she is wiping her wet hairs with another towel ....

Involuntarily manik started walking towards nandu , he just stood behind her and back hugged  her , nandu just gasped but manik is just looking at her like he never saw her before , he started kissing her shoulder making nandu shiver she just held manik hands for support , they both are so lost in each other , they didn't even realise when manik turned nandu and their lips are just inches apart to be kissed ......

Manik's phone ring got them out of trance , manik just realised what they are about to do and ran away from there to the bath room leaving a blushing nandu , who immediately wore her clothes .....

Manik in bathroom ....self talk.....

What the hell ??? I'm just about to kiss nandu , what will she think of me ??? I know we are taking this relationship seriously but how can I just forget to ask her consent before doing anything ??? I need to have a grip on my feelings , yes manik you need to control yourself, but I never felt like this with anyone , not even with nandu, y does she attract me so much now  , is it bcoz we are married and she is my wife , but still we just got married and I can't rush with these harmones , we need to know each other , how will i face nandu now ???

Precap : new feelings ....new emotions .....

Will manik shut himself from nandu ??? 

Will nandu be hurt on seeing manik run away from her ???

Will manik realise it's love ???

Will nandu make manik realise his feelings ???

Who will propose their feelings first ???
