Her eyes flutters wide open as she snuggles into his hard chest and covering her mouth yawned loudly. Her sleep was interrupted by continuous knocking.

Removing her palm away from her mouth she tried stretching her body feeling the stiffens but stopped when her eyes landed on Manik who had his arms tightly wrapped around her waist and sleeping with frown on his face.

Realisation hits harder her and she chuckles softly as she recalls how last night they were watching movie and talking and didn't realise how they fallen asleep. Her lips curves into a beautiful smile and raising her thumbs up she caressed his forehead removing the frowns away from his face.

Her heart flutters up as she glanced at him who looked so handsome and cute while sleeping. Her heart was dying to hold his cheeks. She couldn't stop herself from adoring him for a seconds.

Another knock broke her thoughts and sighing to herself and wanting to disturb his sleep she thought of checking who might be there. Leaning forward ahead placed a soft kiss on his cheek and coming out of his grip she covered him with a blanket.

Taking glimpse of him for the last time she stood up and rushed back inside the room and opens the door to revealing tensed and panicking Ishita standing there. She frowns and thought why is her mother so worried but the question itself was answered by ishita.

Ishita : Nandini beta. What took you long to open the door? I was getting worried wondering something happened? Thank god. You are safe.

Nandini : Amma, What happened? You look very worried. Is everything okay? are you alright?

Ishita : I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep. Neyonika called up and said Manik hasn't returned back home. She is very worried and Manik informed her last night he was going to here. Do you know if he came here? Is he still here? If he is then where is he?

Nandini : Amma! I am sorry for not letting you guys. Manik is here. I was angry on him and he came to see him last night very late and we sit in balcony and talked while watching movie. We didn't realise the time and fall sleep. Manik is still sleeping.

Ishaita released a breath she had her holding after Neyoinka called up early morning catching her flight to Jaisalmer.

Neyoinka and Raj were supposed to fly early in the morning as they had to see the arrangements over there. The functions will be starting from tomorrow evening and majority of the guests will be arriving by tonight. Raj wanted everything to be perfect and grandly arranged.

Ishita: thank god! He's safe and sound. I was getting worried when Neyoinka told me about his absence. Abhi has gone to Mukti up as she will come with us. Wake Manik up and ask him to get ready. I will bring Abhi's clothes. There is no need to go Malthora's mansion. He can get ready here and come with us. Raj has called his private team to get the jet ready. We will leave within a hour. Okay. Now don't rush and calmly go and get ready. I will be waiting for you both. Ask him to call Neyoinka too.

Nandini nodded her head and apologising one more time she closed the door and rushed back inside into the balcony and found Manik still sleeping.

She smiles and crouching down and starts shaking his body while calling his name out softly.

Nandini : Manik. Wake up. Mom is getting worried for you. Manik wake up. Please get up otherwise we will miss our flight. You can sleep in flight too.

He opens his eyes and got spellbound staring into those orbs of her eyes and couldn't blink his eyes away. Her cheek heats up as she stares him back with same passion and bitting her inner cheeks clicks her finger at him breaking his trance.

He comes out of trance and embarrassingly rubs his neck and looked away avoiding her gaze. She chuckles and moves closer to him and cups his face making him look into her eyes and leaning forward she placed a soft kiss on his head making him smile.

Nandini : you're so cute Manik. How am I going to resist your cuteness. You look so adorable baby.

Manik : I am not cute nor adorable. I wouldn't mind being called handsome, hottie or sexy. I don't look cute sunshine. You better remember this otherwise next time I show how cute I can be in some other way. You won't like consequences. You know what I mean.

She blushed so hard and butterflies erupted into her stomach hearing his words and slapping his shoulder she stood up whereas he chuckles.

Nandini: I don't know what you mean and I didn't even want to know Manik. we haven't enough time left. Mom called was asking for you.

He slaps his head realising his mistake and slumps on the couch and looks to find his phone but didn't find it anywhere. He got worried because he had to be airport at the time and starts to panic.

Nandini : Manik stop panicking. Amma has spoken to mom and told her you are here and will come with us. Mukti is also coming with us. I believe our friends will be coming with so. You should go and ready. Amma is bringing Bhai's clothes for you.

Manik : how it slip out of my head? I didn't even remember about the flight. I am okay sunshine. Why don't you go and get ready while I make some arrangements. I won't take much time to get ready.

She rolls her eyes and was about to argue but Manik didn't let her win and showing his puppy face made her convince. Stomping her foot angrily she walks back inside the room and went to ready .

Meanwhile Manik finding his phone made few calls and made arrangements for their flight. He even called Neyoinka and spoke to her who just landed few hours go in Jaisalmer. He sighs and sits back.

He leans back and closed his eyes and a smile appears on his lips as he thoughts within few days he will be married man. He never thought or imagined himself getting married this but destiny had some other plan.

He truly felt himself most luckiest man on earth and fortunate to have someone like Nandini in his life. He couldn't much happier than having partner like Nandini who is so understanding and unique.

His thoughts were broken when he heard a knock. He took a deep breath and went inside and opens the door revealing Ishita who smiles at him.

He returns the smile back and greets her while bending down to touch her but she stops and him and shakes her head before pulling him into a hug.

Ishita : you are like my Abhi. You are not less than my son Manik. You don't need to behave like this. I have considered you as my own children just like Nandini and Abhi is. Where is Nandini?

He smiles and breaks the hugs and looks at her.

Manik : I know maa. She is getting ready. Why are you standing there? Come inside.

Ishita : okay! I came to give your clothes. While she is getting ready, why don't you go to Abhi's room and freshen up. We haven't got much time left.

He nodded his head and taking his clothes he follows her to Abhi's room and walks to washroom to freshen up. Ishita walks away from there and went to see Raman who was getting all the luggage loaded up in the car.

Everyone got ready and gathered up in living room including Mukti and Abhi who arrived sometimes ago. Nandini secretly glances at Manik who was in engrossed talking with Mukti. She smiles and thought how both of them were twinning.

She looked away before anyone could notice but it was too late as Manik himself caught her stealing glances of him. He smirks and looks at her who coincidentally was matching with him.

( Nandini's attire)

( Manik's attire)

His trance was broken when he heard Raman to leave because they were getting late. He took last glimpse of her and follows Abhi while talking to him.

Manik's security team and guards were right behind them and making sure no media captures them. Manik had warned them to be careful and alert sensing any danger. He doesn't want his tally to be danger. He has hired few other security for the wedding. He wasn't going to risk it at all.

They arrived to airport and was checking their booking passes moves to the private room where fab 3 and Navya were eagerly waiting for them.

Cabir exclaimed loudly when he saw them entering and smirks looking at the couple who was twining. He wasn't going to it slide and thought of teasing them. He went to them and starts hugging them one by one.

Everyone exchanged the hugs and greets. Raman and Ishita took their seat litter away from the rest. Cabir looks at Manik and smirks as he noticed him stealing glances of Nandini in between.

Cabir : I must say you are guys are made in heaven. You both are twining and looking and giving vibe of hot and expensive couple. I didn't thought my friend Manik would do something like that.

Manik rolls his eyes and the rest just chuckles and shakes their head at Cabir's drama whereas Nandini looks down and blushed avoiding their gazes.

Mukti : Cabir! Will you stop teasing them? Bhabhi, don't mind him. He is always like that but I also agree with Cabir. For the first time I have seen Bhai in causal otherwise he always is in suits and formal.

Manik didn't say anything but took his phone out and pretended to be busy but he paid attention on their conversations too.

Alya : how could you forget Mukti? Whenever Manik's pictures virals girls drools over him like they own him. I am so happy and glad Manik has managed to keep himself away from media past days. Previously every other seconds our manager would complain about all those messages on feed.

Nandini stops scrolling down her phone and looks at Alya and looked confuse hearing her but nevertheless she didn't cared much because he was going to hers within few days and she wasn't going to lose it any chance to show the world who he officially belongs to and he will always be hers.

Dhruv: honestly when I look at buddy's fan following of the girls is completely insane. All the girls out there wishes or dreams to have a husband or boyfriend like buddy. I feel sometime buddy has raise high standards and expectations for them.

Cabir : you just realised that Dhruv. We knew it from the first day when he stepped a school. Oh my days. Those days where all the girls just attended their classes because Manik was present there otherwise no one gives fuck about the studies that time.

Navya : you can call it Manik Malthora charm . Not everyone has that charm Cabir. Manik is absolutely amazing and indeed perfect man to have as a brother, son, boyfriend, husband and father. He is already best son and brother and believe me he will be amazing husband and father.

Manik's ears starts turning red hearing Navya when she mentioned about him being a father. His eyes moves towards Nandini and looks at her who looked down being engrossed on her phone. He didn't fail notice tint of blush covering on her face. He smirks and looked away scrolling down his own phone.

Mukti : I really can't wait for them to get married and having a baby. I really can imagine having a baby of them and spoiling them so much. It will be so bliss and special. My brother who hated the word of love and marriages soon will be married.

Alya : when the news comes about Manik's marriage into media trust me all the girls will be heartbroken and evil be crying on their misery.

Everyone chuckles expect Abhi who was listening to their conversation and was watching his sister who wasn't showing any effect but he could feel she was feeling jealous. He smirks and thought of pulling her leg.

Abhi : guys stop teasing my baby doll. Look at her how much she getting affected by you all you talking about her would be husband fan following of girls. She will broken her phone the way she is holding it. Baby doll it's alright. No one is going to steal your Manik from you. He is your but please break the phone.

Everyone turns and looks at Nandini who was fisting the phone in her hand so tightly and controlling her anger not burst out seeing them preaching about her would be husband fangirls. She released the phone and passed a glare to Abhi and looks at Manik.

Manik who was always staring at her smirks and winks at her making her eyes widen and making her more angry. She held her angry back and standing up she stomps her foot and excusing herself she moves away from there leaving them bursting into a loud laughters. Raman and Ishita looked confused.

Manik talking to the pilot comes inside and found everyone getting comfortable. He glances at Nandini and took his seat beside who didn't acknowledge his presence and completely ignored him.

Announcement was made to takeoff. Soon the flight was in the air and Manik again looks at Nandini who was engrossed reading a book. He peeps to read while being closer but she closed the book and passed him deathly glare.

Crossing her arms against the chest and keeping the book in her lap she looks at him who held his smile back and turns his whole attention on her.

Nandini : so what? I heard Manik Malthora has millions of fangirls then let me burst your bubble Mr Malthora, my fanboys will be more than yours once I make my name into the world. You will be called by the world Mrs Nandini Manik Malthora's husband. I don't mind have to remind you ever in future those millions fangirls of yours will be less then my fanboys. I don't care how many girls drools over you but get straight into your head. You belong to me.

He smirks looking at her and his heart flutters up when she called him his and honestly loved to be called by the world Mrs Nandini Manik Malthora.

It made his stomach explode with so many different feelings. His eyes shined and felt like drowning into those orbs eyes of that he couldn't look away.

He leans forward and swiftly took the book from her lap and softly whispers making her blush so hard.

Manik : I may have millions of fangirls but I am dying to be your first fanboys. Trust me you will not have most devote fanboy like me sunshine.

He pressed lips side of her head and chucking lightly straightens back on his seat and opens to the book to read but was snatched by her who turns away facing the window and starts reading the book.

He smiles and shaking his head at her antics and turning his Bluetooth puts on music and leans back closing his eyes to catch up with some sleep.
