I want to wake up in the middle of the night to pull you closer and know that you're mine forever.

Manik's P.O.V

I opened my eyes in the morning and stretched my hand on the other side of the bed to hug my girlfriend but I couldn't feel her. I looked on my side and found the bed empty. I immediately got up. I roamed my eyes in whole room and saw a note on the bedside table. I stretched my hand and picked it up.

Good Morning Mr.Boyfriend!

Leaving for Navya's room. Your breakfast is kept on the table and your clothes are kept on the couch and please don't skip your breakfast.

Love you!
Your Princess.

Uhhh! Why? Why God? Kya bigada hai Maine aapka? Kyu karte ho mere sath aisa? Today also she went to Navya's room without giving me my morning dose. *pouts sadly* Shaadi Cabir aur Navya ki hai lekin busy sabse zyada meri girlfriend rehti hai. Huff!

I got up from my bed and saw my breakfast kept on the table and my clothes for the mehendi function kept neatly on the couch. God! Sometimes my girl behaves like she is already my wife. Not like I don't like that but still. Right now I'm planning some mischief. She knows that I want her in my arms when I wake up but still she left me for the second day in row so now I'll be angry on her. Off course fake anger. I can hardly be angry on her. I quickly had my breakfast and got ready. Ayee! I look handsome yaar. I wonder how my princess would be looking.

I went downstairs to see the arrangements and saw Papa, Dhruv and Abhi looking after the preparations. I too joined them.

All the things were done when Maa approached us.

"Raj everything is done right?" She asked.

"Yes Swara. Everything is done. By the way where are the girls?" Papa asked.

"Ohh they are just coming only. Actually they were making Navya ready." Maa said.

"There they are!" Abhimanyu said looking behind me.

I turned around and saw Mukti, Alya and my princess coming towards us.

My princess was walking behind Mukti so she wasn't visible much to me. They reached us and then I saw her dress. Damn! She was looking hot! And again we were twinning.

"Navya ready hogayi?" Maa asked smiling at the three girls.

"Yes Maa. Bas aapke bulane ka intazaar hai." Princess said.

My eyes were fixed on her.

"Bass thodi der aur. Function start hi hone wala hai." Maa said and left.

Soon everyone left and now only me and princess were there. She turned to me but suddenly I remembered that I have to show my fake anger. I quickly turned my face to the other side. She frowned. She again came in front of me but this time I turned completely showing my back to her. She tapped my shoulder but I just started walking.

"Manik!" She called me but I didn't listened.

"Manik!" She called loudly this time. Still I didn't turned and kept walking.

I could feel her walking behind me.

"Manik ruko!" She again said.

She increased her pace and held my hand to stop me. By now we reached a corner of the garden. She turned me.

"Are you ignoring me?" She asked.

I just shrugged my shoulders and looked sideways.

"Manik look at me." She said in a demanding tone.

I didn't obliged.

"Manik! I said look at me." She said stressing on every word.

Still I didn't looked at her.

She held my jaw between her thumb and fingers and turned my face. Finally I looked at her.

"What happened?" She asked seriously.

"Nothing." I said slowly.

"Achha? Then why are you ignoring me?" She asked.

"I'm not ignoring you." I said blankly.

"Achha if you're not ignoring me then please tell me why are you not talking to me?" She said with a sarcastic smile.

God Nandini and her sarcasms.

I kept mum.

"Mr.Malhotra I'm asking you something." She said with utmost seriousness in her voice.

Damn Manik thoda zyada to nahi hogaya? She called me Mr.Malhotra. And I've noticed it that she calls me Mr.Malhotra only when she is extremely pissed off.

She snapped her fingers in front of me and I came back in my senses.

"I want answer." She said.

"Yess I'm angry." I finally said.

"And may I know the reason?" She asked.

"Because you were not there to wake me up in the morning." I said like a child.

"Huh?"

"What huh? You very well know that I want you in my arms when I wake up but you left me alone on the bed for two days in a row. I don't like it when I wake up alone in the morning. I want you beside me. I don't want to wake up by your messages, I want you to wake me up." I blabbered everything which was inside me.

She suddenly started laughing. I frowned.

"Now why are you laughing?" I asked being annoyed.

She stopped laughing.

"Manikkk! You're such a baby!" She said pulling my cheeks.

"Princess how many times do I have to tell you not to pull my cheeks." I said with a bad face.

She chuckled.

"Achha baba sorry! Sorry for pulling your cheeks and sorry for leaving you alone in the morning. I also don't like leaving you alone but I had to because of Navya na. But don't worry from tomorrow all the functions are of evening. So no need of getting ready early." She said sweetly and kissed my cheeks.

"It's okay but you know I want something as a compensation for two days." I said pulling her waist.

"I'm all yours baby!" She said wrapping her one hand around my neck.

I slowly placed my lips on hers. We kissed. It was a gentle kiss filled with our love and only love. No urgency. After feeling her breathless, I broke the kiss. We stood there resting our foreheads together while catching our breaths.

Everyone was standing in the beautifully decorated garden for the Mehendi function. Soha had also returned from the salon.

(Seats for all the ladies.)

(Seat for Navya.)

Soon Cabir and Navya entered the garden with dholak's sound.

Everyone hugged the bride and groom. Soon the function started. Navya sat at her place and four mehendi artist started applying mehendi on her hands and legs. All the other females too sat.

Nandini was sitting and two mehendi artist was applying mehendi on her hands.

"Ma'am do we need to write someone's name?" One of them asked Nandini.

Nandini smiled remembering her love.

"Yes. Manik!" She said with a beautiful smile.

"Please write it somewhere that it would be difficult for him to find it." Nandini added and the artist nodded.

It has been 2 hours since Nandini is sitting in the same position. Now her back was paining and she was thirsty too. She saw other boys approaching their girls and making them drink water. She looked around for Manik but didn't found him anywhere. Feeling disappointed she sat there with her head hung low. After sometime she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Searching for me babygirl?" She heard a voice from behind.

She didn't turned back as she very well know who the person is.

"Where were you?" She asked not looking at the person.

"Ohh I was planning a surprise for you but if you don't want to see it then it's okay I will take Soha with me." The person said.

Nandini felt anger rushing in her veins. She turned her head back furiously.

"Manik dare you go to that Soha Poha. I swear I'll kill her and beat you so much that you will be hospitalized at least for a week." Nandini said angrily.

"Arey arey shant meri jaan! Mai to mazak kar raha tha. Why will I go to your Soha Poha when I have my princess with me." Manik said mimicking Nandini while saying Soha Poha.

"Manik I don't want to talk about her right now." Nandini said with a sigh.

"Neither me! So if your work is done here, then I would love to take you with me to show your surprise." Manik said.

Till the time her mehendi was also done.

"Yes it's done. Come let's go. My back is also paining so much." Nandini with a bad face.

"Okay okay princess come." Manik said.

Nandini was about to get up when Manik picked her up in his arms.

"Manik kya kar rahe ho? Sab log hai yaha par. Chodo mujhe." Nandini whisper-yelled.

"Shhh! Your back is paining right and besides look around no one is looking." He said.

Nandini looked around and indeed he was true. Nobody was looking.

"Ab chale?" Manik asked and Nandini just nodded.

Manik took her to the other side of the resort. As soon as the place came in Nandini's vision, she squealed happily.

"Manikkkkk! This is so beautiful." She said looking at him with an ear to ear smile.

"Liked it?" He asked.

"Loved it!" She answered.

He smiled and stepped forward.

He sat on the swing with Nandini in his lap.

"Thirsty?" He asked.

"Hungry too." She pouted.

He quickly pecked her pout while she turned red. He laughed.

He then clicked his fingers and two waiters came with food and water in their hands and placed it on the table kept in front of Manan.

"Manik what's this?" Nandini asked looking at the food in the plate.

"Princess it's Chole-Kulche. Punjabi food. Today's whole menu is Punjabi special." Manik explained her.

"Really? I've never eaten this. It looks so yummy. Jaldi se khilao na." She said drooling over the food.

Manik chuckled and started feeding her. She wanted to feed him but was unable to because of the mehendi in her hands. After some time they both finished eating. Manik made her drink water and he did the same.

"Manik that was so yummy. Like after your pasta, this is best thing I've ever eaten." She said.

"I don't know why do you love my pasta so much? I to feel like it's tasteless." Manik said.

"Ayee! Dare you say anything about it. It can never be tasteless because it's filled with the flavor of your love." She said and Manik smiled brightly.

"I love you so much princess!" Manik said joining their foreheads.

"I love you too Mr.Boyfriend!" Nandini replied.
