Part 5(a)

Manik also came back in his room where he saw Nandini's cute pouty face while sleeping...

He again came to her and sat on the floor near her and said in his slow voice: you are looking so yummy ... with this pout... and I really want to taste these petals but I know... abhi main ne kuch bhi kiya ya kaha to tum phir se bhagne ki sochne lago gi... so I'll wait...wait for the right moment...

He caressed her face in air so that it doest disturbe her sleep and started pouring his heart out to his sleeping beauty : Nandini...tumhe pata hai tum bohat achi ho aur cute bhi...main kuch din pahle tak tumhe as a doc hi janta tha... aur tab bhi tum mujhe cute hi lagi thi... but ab...ab jab main sub kuch janta hon...to mera dil karta hai k main tumhe aur tumhari is cuteness ko apni bahon me chupa loon...

tumhe yahan se kahen doreee le jaon apney sath... jahan main hoon tum ho aur sirf pyaar hi pyaar ho... (he holds her hand and kissed it with emotions)Plzzz Nandini just don't run away from me... Mat bhago ab dor...plzzz... ( he saw a cute smile comes on her sleeping face,then while shooking his head, takes a deep breath to contol his emotions and then continue further) Dekha tum ne is Manik Malhotra ko kya bana diya hai...(smiles)

Ok ab jaise tum ne decide kiya hai na... k tum mujh se dor jao gi... waise hi main ne... Manik Malhotra ne bhi decide kar liya hi k main tumhe apney pass , apni life me la k hi rahon ga... bus intezar hai to subha ka... kal se tum apney asli Manik ko dekho gi... jisey tum ne change kar diya Nandini... so abhi k liye tum rest karo...thek hai... after this he kissed her forehead...

He spent that whole night by holding her hand and sitting besides her... and after sometime sleep also came in his eyes

Next morning Manik was the 1st one to woke up ... and his eyes moved towards Nandini who was still sleeping on his bed...

He started admiring this sleeping beauty with a smile on his face...

He removed a hair strand from her face and said with his slow sleepy voice to sleeping Nandini: Good Morning Beautifulll... you know yeh Morning rays tumhari beaty ko itna enhance kar rahe hai aur ...(with love) mera dil kar raha hai...k... k... ( now with a smile) Ok leave it for this time... abhi bata diya to tum kahen really me bhag hi na jao... But remember this huh... is baar tum jo karna chahti ho kar lo... but tumhe hamare is pyar ko chance dena pare ga... Ok...

After this he left from there and while freshening up a thought came in his mind: hmmm Nandini to abhi so rahe hai so is k uthne se pahle kyo na os k liye kuch breakfast bana liya jae... Ya good idea...

After freshening up he left for the kitchen

He started preparing breakfast for both... while thinking

Manik kuch socha tu ne... kya kare ga... seedhe se I love you bola to wo mane gi nahi... Infact bhag jae gi is ki guarantee to kisi se bhi le sakta hai... so ab... soch soch kya karna hai... tere pass time bohat kum hai...aur is baar tu osey aise jane nahi de sakta... hai na...

But os se baat bhi to nahi kar sakta... wo Doc and Mr Malhotra k agey kuch bolti hi nahi... to kya kiya jae... soch ...soch... hmmm idea...

In room

Nandinis sleep got disturbe with melodious voices of birds... She immediately gets up while rubbing her eyes...

She with her half closed eyes saw here and there and that was the time when it clicked in her mind that she was not at home... she was with Manik and his friends and Manik is not well...

She hurriedly opened her eyes to see where is Manik... but got a shock when she saw she was sleeping on a bed... she turned her face in search of Manik... but found him no where in that room...

In tension and worry she immediately took shower and ran outside while thinking... Manik aur os k dost kya soch rahe hoon ge... K kaisi doc hai patient ka koi khyal hi nahi... kaise maze se so rahe thi... but strange na... main aise ... kal itni jaldi so kaise gayi... Leave it Nandini filhal to Manik... I mean Mr Malhotra ki soch ... un k temperature ka pata nahi kya hoa ho ga... aut temperature ki chor agar un ka karwa karela wala mode on hogya to ...teri to kair nahi ajj...

And with this she reached in sitting area and found him there...

The voice of his room door told Manik about Nandini's arrival before her appearance... He left that kitchen after preparing breakfast and started pretending that he was busy in reading newspaper...

Nandini saw him with newspaper and said in guilty voice: wo Mr Malhotra I am sorry pata nahi kal raat main aise kaise so gayi...

Manik thought in irritation from behind that newspaper: Arey phir se subha subha yeh...Mr Malhotra... I think sub se pahle to mujhe isi ka kuch karna pare ga...

Nandini who didn't get any response from him got surprise on seeing his behavior...

She again called: Mr Malhotra... are you listening to  me...

Manik while controlling his smile ignored her once again while hiding his face with newspaper...

Nandini again tried: Mr Malhotra app thek to hai na...?

Manik again ignored her...

Now in worry Nandini snatchs that newspaper from his hands and observed that he was looking much better now...

She takes a sigh of relief but on next moment this relief changed in anger and she asked in angry voice: Y ... were u not replying me... U know na I am talking to you... then?

Manik with pure innocene replied like a kid: arey doc I thought u were talking to my Dad as he is Mr Malhotra na ...you know... I am tu Manik na... u know my name right...

Nandini with unbelievable look gazed at his face... and he was trying very hard to hide his laugh...

Nandini: Huh...

Manik: Yaaa... Remember I think...agar mujh se baat karni hai... to call me by my name...

Now Nandini while stretching each word in irritation asked: Sooo... Mr Manikkk Malhotraaa... How areee you feeling now...

Manik shook his head like saying not again...

Manik with childlike expression said: Manik... not Mr Manik Malhotra... chalo doc ache bachon ki tarhan jaldi se bolo...M...A...N...I...K.

Nandini with forced smile said like tuanting: Y not... Mr Manik...ab jo app bolein gey wohi to main karon gi na... hai na?... she stomped her foot in anger and moved towards kitchen...

where as Manik started smiling on seeing this kid Nandini...

Nandini entered in kitchen and said to herself: Chal Nandini jaldi se kuch bana le ... Waise bhi Mr Malhotra ko dekh k lagta hai bhook in k demagh pe asar kar gayi hai...

On same moment she saw a note...

She picked it up and started reading it...

Breakfast tumhe bula raha hai Doc ... Come outside...

She with squinted eyes walked outside and saw Manik was eating his breakfast while sitting on dinning table...

She came there when Manik asked: Wanna Join me Doc...

She with same expression started thinking: Yeh subha subha aisa behave kyo kar raha hai... kya... kya ho gya hai isey? Aur wo is k friends ... wo sub kahan gaye... koi nazar hi nahi a raha...( and she looked here and there in search of others)

Manik observed her look so he again called her and said: Doc... Come na... aur yahan aur koi nahi hai... So stop searching for others...

Nandini with slow steps came there and sat on a chair...that's when she noticed her breakfast plate...

2 fried eggs , toasts and a cute smily with apple jam...

This thing brought a very cute smile on her face ... She in excitement said to herself: so cute ...

but her words gave a sense of satisfaction to Manik's soul...

She turned her face and looked at Manik ... and his face reminds her why she is with him...

She again with worried expression asked: Mr malhotra... app yeh breakfast... App ka temperature...

Manik: Shhh Relax Nandini... I am fine ... now... so just relax... and plzzz its my request plzzz call me by my name... I think mera nam itna bhi difficult nahi hai...(wink)

Nandini just keep staring his face on his request...and then at the end...his wink surprised her to the most...

Manik : Nandini

But Nandini was so engrossed in that wink's effect that she didn't heard him...

Now Manik placed his hand on her and again called her name: Nandiniii r u alright...

Nandini came back to the world and said: Huh... Yah I am fine...

After this they had their breakfast ...

During breakfast Manik tried to start some conversation between them so he said:he cleared his throat...Ahmmm Nandini

Nandini looked at him in surprise that why he is taking her name instead of Doc...

Manik continued: U are here till my concert... hai na?

Nandini with a node answered him: Hmmm

Manik while saying this started judging her expression: to hamarey darmiyan yeh jo rishta hai...(he paused)

Nandini looked at him with shock and thought: Rishta...? Kis rishte ki baat kar raha hai Manik... Kya isey pata chal gya k main kon hoon?nahi nahi... aise kaise pata chal sakta hai isey... no ... no

Manik interrupted her thinking process after observing and enjoying her expression and her expression told him that what she was thinking...

So Manik continue: Haan to main kah raha tha k hamare darmiyan yeh jo doc aur patient ka rishta hai...( he again obsereved her expression at this point)

On other side Nandini takes a sigh of relief on this explinition...

Manik: kyo na is rishte ka naam change kar dein...

Now Nandini voiced out her confusion: What do u mean by this?

Manik: Arey mera matlab ab jab hum ne kuch din sath rahna hai to kyo na dost ban k rahen... I know last time mera behavior bohat wrong tha... And I am sorry for that... Mujhe aise behave nahi karna chaheye tha... but I think wo temperature k side effects thay shayad... Believe me main utna bura nahi hoon... And in Friendship... U'll get to know with time how good and sincere friend I am...

Nandini tried to object but Manik speaks before her like pleading: Shhh I know is dosti ki tumhe zyada zarorat nahi hai... but think about me na... yeh fever jis ne ajjkal mujh se friendship ki hoe hai... jab tum mujh se friendship kar lo gi to yeh mujh se dor ho jae ga... so plzzz plzzz plzzz mujh se friendship kar lo...plzzz...

Nandini with worried voice said: But Manik... main aise kaise...

Manik s face turned into a smile and he thought Thank God Manik pe to aye... Now plzzz plzzz plzzz is friendship k liye bhi maan jae...

Manik: what do u mean by aise kaise? Ab friendship k liye koi special rules hote haan kya

Nandini like a confused soul said: nahi but wo...

Manik: no if and but ... Only say yes...( now he started pleading like a kid) Plzzz say na... say na... plz... plzzz... Plzzz...

Nandini who have no other option thought:

Her Heart :kya soch rahe hai Nandini 3,4 dino ki baat hai...os k baad to tu ne manik se dor hona hi hai na... to in dino me kuch keemti lamhe jee le Manik k sath...

Her Mind: No No No... No Nandini... sochna bhi mat...aik baar tum ne Manik se friendship kar li to os se dor kaise jao gi...aur oski safety...phir se kuch gar bar ho gayi to...

Manik brought her back to the world by shaking her hand and said: Arey kya soch rahe ho... dekho mere dost kahte haan k main bohat acha dost hoon... So itna socho nahi... Plz plz plz say yes plzzz( with this he started shaking her hand ) say na... yes ... yes... yes...

Nandini was started to get irritate on his child like behavior shouted: Yesss... Bus ... now leave my hand ... mujhe tumhara temperature bhi check karna hai... with this she left from there...

Manik saw her leaving from there so he takes a deep sigh of relief and blabbers: Not Bad Manik Malhotra... what a change... ( while appreciating himself) aise bachon ki tarahn irritate kar k baat manwana kahan se sekha tu ne... But jo bhi ho atlast Nandini man to gayi... Good good keep it up...( he mentally patted his own shoulder)

Manik came in his room after breakfast ...Nandini also came in after sometime and starting doing her duty as a doc...

She checked his temperature which was almost gone... she checked his bp which was also normal... so she said: you are almost fine ... bus thori si care ki zarorat hai... I think 1 ,2 din me meri duty khatam ho jae gi...

Manik: Ya I know ... but tum shayad bhol rahe ho k concert tak to tumhe merey sath rahna hoga...

Nandini with wide eyes: Huhhh No ways... tum thek ho gaye to meri duty khatam...

Manik like child started his cribbing: Aise kaise khatam...huh... mujhe pata chala k Dr aushutosh ne tumhe concert tak rukne ko bola na... to tum apney senior ki baat nahi mano gi... aur ab tumhe tension kya hai ... ab to hum friends haan na to kyat um apney is new friend ka concert nahi attend karo gi... bolo...

Nandini looked at his face and his cute faical expression started affecting her senses ... she immediately lowered her eyes and said: Ok... But sirf concert tak huh... os k baad mujhe wapis jana hai...

Manik replied in his heart: tum sirf concert tak ruk jao Nandini... baad main tum khud kahen nahi ja pao gi...

Manik already had planned how to get her busy... so he said: so Nandini tell me apni Friendship ki celebration me kon si icecream khao gi...

Nandini with angry expression: Ice cream...? Like seriously Manik Malhotra... last day wo thandi lassi and now Ice cream... Aik baat batao kahen bachpan me sar pe koi chot to nahi lagi thi jis k side effects ab appear ho rahe haan...?

Manik got that tuant in her sentence and with a smile he said: Bachpan ka to pata nahi haan college time pe zaror lagi thi...

Nandini without thinking said: College me nahi lagi ... Wo mujhe pata hai...

Manik with teasing smile: What... tumhe kaise pata...

Now Nandini recalled what she said so she slapped herself mentally and started fumbling:wo ... mujhe... Aise... pata... wo... haan... agar kabhi aise kuch hota to kisi newspaper me to ata aur tumhare kisi interview me kabhi tum ne aisa kuch bataya nahi... so... That y ...

Manik while enjoying her state said: Really Nandini... ok leave it and tell me... Tum merey sub interview kyo parhti and sunti rahe ho...itna interest kyo? Fan ho kya Manik Malhotra ki( and at end he again sent a naughty wink towards her)

Nandini eyes became wide in O shape and she said: No... wo bus ... Aise hi... and with this she averted her gaze on other things...

Manik's smile became deep and wide on her innocent answers and he thought: Abhi k liye itni doze kafi hai... slow and steady win the race ... so Manik Malhotra aise hi slowly slowly... Chalte raho... fast move se yeh phir bhagne ka soch le gi...

After this to normalize the atmosphere he said: Ok chalo ice cream nahi coz tum abhi Doc Mode me ho so wo baad me dekhen gey so abhi lets play something... main bore ho raha hoon...

Nandini: But Manik... Tumhara concert hai so pahle bilkul thek ho jao aur then os pe focus karo...

Manik: Arey kya yaar Nandini... Main kon sa abhi bahir ja k kuch khelne ka kah raha hoon... room me baith k bhi to kuch khela ja sakta hai... so lets play na...

Nandini reluctantly said: Ok ... but kya khelna hai...

Manik: Luddo

Nandini's eyes popped out on his demand: Luddo... like seriously... Manik yeh Bachon ka game hai...

Manik: To kya hoa... chalo na thori der k liye sub kuch bhol k bache ban jate haan... No duties... no concert... No... worries ... and no fears... Just like kids...

Nandini looked at him in amazed state and thought ise ho kya gya hai...

Manik: Ok tum betho main luddo arrange kar k ata hoon...

Nandiniwhile sitting on chair said: Hmmm.
