Hey guys! I am very much overwhelmed with your response on last chappy hence this super fast update moreover its last few days of christmas holidays after which frequency will drop again! Thank you everyone for your votes and comments!

And yes its Manik, you all were right! How can I disappoint my readers?

Happy reading!💓

Nandini gasp looking at the person and whispered.

Manik!

She ran to the person and was about to hug but stopped and turned around remembering yesterday's incident. She thought because of that she is hallucinating but his voice brought her out of thoughts.

Manik: *lovingly yet sadly* Meri shona mujhse itni naraaz hai ki apne Manik ko hug bhi nahi karegi?

She turned behind to confirm whereas he spread his arms for her blinking his eyes and she pounced on him. He held her tight lifting from the ground and twirled her round.

They were feeling each other's warmth after almost 3 months. He tighten the hug and whispered something in her ear making her shocked.

Manik: *whispering lovingly* I love you shona! I love you very much!

She broke the hug, looked at his face to confirm what she heard and he smiled earning a beautiful smile from her making his heart satisfied. He immediately held her hand and spoke 'Nandini, I know I did wrong with you, very wrong! Infact you must be feeling taken for granted but trust me I had no such intention. Woh subah se bohot kuch ho raha tha and I was really very frustrated. I am sorry!' He ended with holding his ears and pouting cutely whereas she gifted him with a light punch in his stomach.

'Mai kya apki punching bag hu, Mr Malhotra? Apne saara gussa mujhpe nikala and now you are apologising, do you even know your mistake?' Nandini spoke glaring at him. He frowned and said 'Of course I know my mistake, I shouted at you rudely!' This made Nandu more angry! 'Like seriously Mr Malhotra, itna hi jante ho aap mujhe? Yes, I am angry but not because you shouted but because you didn't share your problem. Aap hamesha aisa karte ho, shaadi ke din bhi Fab 3 wali baat nahi bata rahe the! I don't know what I should do for you to confide in me, trust me?'

Manik nodded in a no and immediately held her face in his palms. 'Hey, hey no shona you are taking me wrong! I just didn't tell you because tum yaha akeli thi, if I told you then you would have been stressed all day and it would affect your work too which I would never want. Like mine is for you, even your career is very important for me! I trust you a lot shona, believe me.' Nandini smiled hearing him and hugged him by his neck tiptoeing even with the heels. 😂😂

Nandini: *in the hug* For me, love is trust and I trust you deeply, I said this on our wedding night too so Yes, I love you, I love you with all my heart!

Manik: *cupping her face and dropping a warm kiss on her forehead* I love you too!

Content, blessed, happy these were their feeling right now. Feeling of being so close to each other and confessing their love to each other after long was something they could not describe in words.

Manik: *puppy face* Waise what is this Mr Malhotra haan? I want to hear my name from you, please say my name!

Nandini: *lovingly cupping his face* Manik!

Manik immediately took her in the hug as a drop of tear fell from his eyes on her shoulder making her alert. 'Pata hai, I was really very scared, I thought I may lose you! Promise me, promise me that however much we fight you will never leave me, you will be the one to fight for us.' He ended forwarding his hand which she immediately held.

Nandini: *cupping his face* Mai aapko chod ke kaha jaungi Manik? Aap toh meri jaan ho! 😍 *realising the cut on his palm* Hey baghwan, ayiappa, Manik yeh kaise hua?

Manik: *smiling and pecking her palms* Its a small cut, maybe my punishment to hurt you! Now listen to me very carefully Mrs Malhotra, never say you don't have right on me! You have every right, you have the right to scold me, to worry for me, you have the right to hug me and never let me go, you have the right to drown me in this beautiful eyes of yours, only you have the right to make my heart beat for you! *pecking her forehead* I love you jaan!

Nandini blushed hearing this and the word 'jaan' was cherry on the cake!

Manik: *sighing deeply* Finally I get to see my shona blush! *holding his heart* Hayy maar dala! *she hit him blushing more* Acha let me see my wife properly!

Saying this he distanced her from him, still holding hands and gazed at her from top to bottom making her scarlet! She was wearing a simple blue saree with a beautiful blouse looking ever so gorgeous!

Manik: *in daze* Wow! Meri biwi kitni pretty hai! You look hot jaan!

Nandini: *blushing* You look dashing too hubby!

Manik: Chalo lets eat, I am damn hungry!

Nandini: *nodding in disbelief* Foodie baby!

He gave her a whatever look and holding her waist took her to the table setting. She was all the time admiring the set up.

Nandini: Wow, Manik this is so beautiful! I love it so much! But when did you do this?

Manik: Don't underestimate your husband shona, I did it in the evening. I reached London in late morning itself.

They reached the table and Nandini frowned. 'Manik why is there only one person table?' She asked being confused at only one chair. 'Are no this is for two, I think we need to get your eyes checked!' He said hiding his smile when she turned to him with a glare. 'Really then show me!' He nodded and went and sat on the chair. She was about to speak when he pulled her on his lap making her gasp. She struggled to get up as she was feeling very shy. This was the first time they were sitting so close but he held her waist tight making her wriggle.

Manik: *with a smirk* Shona stop, you are not helping me! Already my hormones are on peak seeing you in this saree.

He winked while Nandini was confused but getting his meaning, widened her eyes and immediately stopped moving.

Manik: Good now what will you eat?

Nandini: *in low voice being still shy* Anything!

Manik: Okay then lets have my shona's favourite, Chaat!

Hearing chaat she immediately jumped in happiness but again stopped recalling his words seconds ago and sat slowly making him laugh hard. He called the waiter and ordered food while she hid herself in his neck seeing a third person witnessing their position. After the waiter left he looked at her in adoration.

Manik: *Pecking her cheek hard* Oh my cute bacha, stop being so shy, its just me!

She nodded as he took her arms and wrapped them around his neck making her sit comfortably. They had their dinner as soon as it arrived, feeding each other with necessary pecks. After dinner both were just absorbing each other's presence, chatting on everything and anything when all of a sudden out of no where she spoke.

Nandini: *pecking his cheek* I missed you a lot!

Manik: *pulling her closer* I missed you too and that's why I am here for two weeks!

Nandini: *excitedly* What two weeks! That's such a pleasant surprise Mani! I am so so happy! Yayy!

Manik was surprised to hear that from her, he immediately jerked her to him and spoke..

Manik: *with a smirk* Yeh Manik se Mani ka promotion kab mila mujhe jaan?

Nandini: *looking here and there* Woh excitement mai nikal gaya, I am sorry if you didn't like it...

Before she could continue he pecked her lips making her shut her mouth and spoke 'I loved it! You are calling me that always!' Now it was her turn to widen her eyes 'What always? Sabke samne kaise?' To which Manik shrugged 'I don't care, call me that when we are alone then!' She nodded blushing.

Manik: *forwarding his hand* Wanna dance Mrs Malhotra?

Nandini: *holding his palm* Only if you sing Mr Malhotra!

Tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitaara

O karam Khudaya hai
Tujhe mujhse milaya hai
Tujhpe marke hi toh
Mujhe jeena aaya hai

Manik pulled her closer with her waist as his finger brushed her bare waist. She shivered with his touch and gripped his other hand while her other rest on his shoulder. He smirked with his effect on her. They swayed lightly to the music as he sang the lyrics looking in her eyes as if conveying it to her.

O tere sang yaara...
Khushrang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitaara

O tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Main tera ho jaaun
Jo tu karde ishara

He pushed her a bit only to pull her back in a back hug. He wrapped his arms around her stomach while she rested her head on his broad chest. He was moving and controlling her body as a sailor sails his boat. Their moves were smooth as well as rough at the same time.

Kahin kisi bhi gali me jaaun main
Teri khushboo se takraaun main
Har raat jo aata hai mujhe
Woh khwaab tu...

Tera mera milna dastoor hai
Tere hone se mujhme noor hai
Main hoon soona sa ek aasmaan
Mehtaab tu...

O karam Khudaya hai
Tujhe maine jo paaya hai
Tujhpe marke hi toh
Mujhe jeena aaya hai

His chin rested on her shoulder as he nuzzled in her neck making her arch it to give him access. He dropped a feathery kiss there and she closed her eyes. His hand glide on her stomach under her pallu and held it tight digging his fingers in her soft milky skin.

O tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitaara

O tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Tere bin ab toh
Na jeena gawara

He in a swift move turned her around to face him. She glide her hands around his neck and removed her stilettos. He lift her from her waist pulling her up and twirled her around while she arched her back still holding his shoulders. Her giggles were evident and he smiled seeing her enjoying.

Maine chhode hain baaki saare raste
Bas aaya hoon tere paas re
Meri aankhon mein tera naam hai
Pehchaan le...

Sab kuch mere liye tere baad hai
Sau baaton ki ik baat hai
Main na jaunga kabhi tujhe chhod ke
Yeh jaan le

O karam Khudaya hai
Tera pyar jo paaya hai
Tujhpe marke hi toh
Mujhe jeena aaya hai

He slid her down and she climbed on his foot, her arms around his neck. They were very close to each other with hardly even an inch distance. Their breaths were mingling with each other's as her breathing accelerated. She blew air on the crook of his neck taking him off guard with her bold move. She winked at him, smiling seductively making him blush.

O tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Tu raat deewani
Main zard sitaara

O tere sang yaara
Khushrang bahara
Main behta musafir
Tu thehra kinara

She got off his foot and he twirled her once again. They continued swaying after pulling her back in her previous position. The music ended, so did his song but both were lost in the magic of their love. He was caressing her cheeks loving while she was looking straight in his eyes.

Manik: *caressing his nape nervously* May I kiss you?

Nandini was surely surprised by his question and looked at him amused. How does this man always manage to do things which increases his respect in her eyes? He has full rights yet he is asking nervously? On the other side she wanted to chuckle and go awe on his cuteness.

Nandini: *putting her arms around his neck* Your wife is all yours!

He smiled and bending down, pulled up her chin. He whispered on her lips 'I love you!' and captured her lips. Manik took her upper lip in his mouth licking, sucking and pecking every inch of it while she responded sucking his lower lip slightly. He smiled in between the kiss as her lips trembled innocently. Both tilted their head to get a better access while Manik took her whole mouth in his, cupping her face as if hiding her from the whole world. Her hands reached his nape to caress it lightly while a moan escaped her lips feeling his hands roaming on her curves. Getting the chance, he slid his tongue in her mouth tasting each corner of it. She tasted like a sweet nectar to him. Feeling her slightly out of breath, he parted his lips from hers only to peck it once more.

They rested their forehead on each other's catching their breath. It was their first kiss and both totally enjoyed every bit of it! He opened his eyes to see her serene face glowing, smiling rather blushing. She turned around feeling shy but he pulled her in a back hug making her rest her head on his shoulder.

Manik: *whispering huskily* That was my first and most memorable kiss of my life!

Nandini: *turning around and pecking his cheek* Happy 3 month anniversary Mani!

Manik: *pecking her lips* Happy 3 month anniversary jaan!

Their moment was broken by Nandini's phone. It was Arya so she kept it on speaker.

Arya: Hello? Nandu, itni raat ko kaha ho tum?

Nandini: *scared* Kyu kya hua?

Arya: Woh we thought to pay you a visit so tera favourite icecream lekar tere ghar ke bahar khade hai but tu hai kaha?

Manik had already back hugged her and was nuzzling in her neck making it difficult for her to talk. She tried pushing him but obviously he is more stronger.

Nandini: *on phone* Guys it will take me 30 mins to reach home from here so you guys wait in the car.

Arya: Ok jaldi aa!

And they hung up. She turned only to smack him lightly. 'Ouch, maar kyu rahi ho?' He whined. 'Toh aur kya karu, hamesha mujhe tang karte ho aap!' She too complained making him chuckle. 'Acha come I will drop you home!' 'You wont stay with me?' she pouted.

Manik: *pecking her pout* Meri jaan Arneha hai waha pai moreover my luggage is at Malhotra mansion.
(Guys there's a mansion in london too as Naitik-Akshara and Keesh lives there)

Nandini: *nodding sadly* Ok but I want you to shift your luggage at my place first thing tommorow morning. *excitedly* I will cook your fav breakfast!

Manik: *grinning* Oh yes, finally tumhare haath ka khane ko milega phirse! Chalo!

Nandini: I have my car.

Manik: Ok then I'll follow it!

Both went down and settled in their seperate cars after giving a last hug. While driving Nandini was murmuring 'Huh, yeh Arneha ko aaj hi ana tha, I wanted to spend more time with Mani! But koi nai kal se he will stay with me aur yeh dono ko chodungi nahi mai!'. Soon they reached, Manik had parked his car far away, he saw her entering the building with Arneha and secretly waved him bye after which he drove off too.
