Manan's room,
Night 11pm,
All were back from Murthy Villa and retired to their room. Malhotras left Murthy Villa after everyone left so no one questioned Nandini as to why she is leaving with Malhotras. Now Manik was sitting on the couch, working on his laptop, when Nandini walks in from the walk in closet. She glanced at him and without disturbing him, went to the mirror beside the couch adjusting her hair and applying night cream. He was very well aware of her gaze on him which she was throwing time to time, waiting for him to finish. He sighed and kept his laptop on the coffee table.

Manik: Come here..

She being startled looks directly at him to see him forwarding his hand. She walked upto him and taking his hand settled on his lap. Her hands automatically reached his neck holding on to him while he leaned a bit backwards.

Manik: *playing with her hair* So why was my bacha looking at me like that? You wanna say something?

Nandini: *nodding in no* No I wasnt looking!

Manik: Chal joothi!

Nandini: *with a bad face* Ok fine! Woh you were working so I didnt wanted to disturb you but cant I look at my husband? Is it a crime?

Manik: *laughing* You very much can and its not a crime but why are you so annoyed?

Nandini: Toh aur kya, kal only you came and kaam pe lag gaye.. I hate it when anyone from family works after coming home.

Manik: *raising his eyebrow* Really? I dont remember you telling me that..

Nandini: So I am telling you now, no work at home Mani!

Manik: *irritating her* But kaam nahi karunga toh company kaise chalegi hmm? You know I am the boss!

Nandini: *trying to get up* Fine do your work! Mai chali sone!

He held her tight such that she could not even move. He started nuzzling in her neck and she couldn't control her giggles anymore.

Nandini: *giggling* Mani its tickling please..

Manik: *nuzzling more and raising his hands* What? I didnt do anything!

Nandini: *trying to move away* Its.. Its your beard.. it tickles..

Manik: Really? So should I shave it?

He said that knowingly to tease her as he knows how much she loves him in beard.

Nandini: *puppy face* Nooooooo.. no na I love your beard look!

Manik: *rubbing his beard in her crook of neck and chuckling* So bare it Shona! Coz this *pointing at the crook of her neck* is my most peaceful resting spot.

Nandini: *try to hide her smile and pushing him* Nai nai you have work na.. you are the boss so boss rest thodi karte hai.. go do your work only.

Manik: *pestering kisses on her neck* Tch.. It can wait! Its our time now!

Nandini: *smiling at her victory* Finally! Mani.. umm that.. we umm..

Manik: *moving his head to see her face* Bolo? What do you want?

He knew her antics and he knew what she was talking about but he was enjoying teasing her.

Nandini: Wo umm.. can we..woh.. *irritated by his straight face* ughh fine leave it!

She stood up and he immediately pulled her back making her fall on him. He laughed and hugged her tight.

Manik: *smirking* You know you can tell me to love you.. Itna sharma kyu rahi ho? Konsa hamara first time hai?

Nandini: *hiting his chest and then hiding her face* Shut up Mani..

He was still laughing at her flushed face and she was getting irritated so she looked up and kissed him stopping his laughter. She started kissing him softly while he held her waist waiting to see what all she does. She moved her hand to his collar pulling him closer and licked his lips urging him to kiss her back. Not wanting to irritate her more, he too started responding by sucking on her lips. Both tongues battled for dominance which ofcourse was won by him. He started tasting each and every corner of her mouth relishing her sweetness.

They broke the kiss and he picking her up, took her to the bed. She was looking at him intensely and sensing her strong gaze, red hue leaked on his cheeks slightly. He raised his eyebrow at her to which she smilingly held his face and lifting her face smothered his face with kisses.He took her one hand and intertwining her fingers with his, brought it to his lips.

Manik: *kissing her hand* Lets mark our togetherness for the first time in OUR room! I love you so damn much!

She smiled and pulled him closer by his neck. He in a second removed his vest while all she did was stare at his muscular body making him smirk.

Manik: *winking* I guess you liked my new workout routine!

She giggled and getting on top of him kissed his neck. His hands wandered under her T shirt while she started pressing kisses all over his chest feeling every inch of his muscles under her fingers. He next removed her Tee making her look away blushingly. Turning their position, he removed her bra too in a second and she covered herself with her hands making him chuckle. He spoke up leisurely outlining the curves of her breast with his fingers.

Manik: *smirking* Chupane ko kya hai, I have seen everything!

Nandini: Such a besharam you are Mani!

Manik: *kissing her buds* Oh hello, isme sharam kaiki? Pati hu tumhara! *she giggled*

Next they knew all their clothes were piled up on the floor as he kissed each and every inch of her body and she was a total moaning mess.

Nandini: Mani please.. I need you now!

She couldn't wait as she was aroused to a whole new level and neither did he want to wait. As soon as she said this, he took his member and rubbing it on her love lips, slipped in her velvety darkness making her moan loudly.

Manik: *cupping her face* You ok? Shall I move?

She had her eyes closed tight coz it did pain her after so many months but she nodded. Soon the pain converted in pleasure as both went in their own world of pleasure. After few hours of love making, both layed in each other's arms.

Manik: Are you ok bacha? Does it hurt a lot?

Nandini: *pouting and playing with his chain* I am fine Mani.. but mujhse itni der dur na raha karo hubby.. it hurts! *he chuckled pecking her pout* I love you jaan!

He smiled and was about to come out from her but she stopped him.

Manik: But Jaan.. it will pain bacha!

Nandini: No na please... stay like this!

He sighed and hugged her tight. They were talking with mostly him whispering sweet nothings in her ears and she smiling adorably. Soon he felt her steady breathes and looked at her face to see her sleeping peacefully. He slowly came out of her making her wince but he rubbed her clit soothing her and she fell back asleep. He pecked her temple whispering 'Mine' and welcomed sleep.

Next morning,
Manik woke up with constant knocking on the door. He groaned and patted the bed next to him to wake Nandu but found it empty.

Manik: Nandu yaar door kholo na..

Nandini: Mani mai washroom mai hu, uthiye aur kholiye..

Manik: Damn.. subah subah kon hai yaar..

He got up, wore his clothes and rubbing his eyes went to the door. As soon as he opened the door, a pair of arms flunged around his neck and someone hugged him tight.

Manik: *surprised* Princess!!

Naira: *laughing* Yes! Mai aagayi!

Manik: *kissing her forehead* What a surprise! Next week ane wali thi na, how come you are here early? And kaisi hai tu?

Naira: *twirling around* See I am all good bhai! And next week nahi ane wali thi.. I said that so that I can give a surprise!

Manik: *hugging her* I cant believe you are back... I missed you so much!

Naira: *hugging him back* I missed you too!

He heard sniffs in the hug and immediately broke it.

Manik: *wiping her tears* Are are meri itni strong princess ro rahi hai.. shh baba ab toh you are here, now you dont even have to go back! Chalo smile... *she smiled faintly* Come on, you can do better.

He started tickling her and she laughed making him grin.

Nandini: *coming out of washroom* Kon hai Mani?

Naira: *running to her* Bhabhiii...

Nandini: *gasping* Omg barbie doll! *pulling her in a hug* Gosh what a surprise! I missed you so much!

Naira: *kissing her cheek* I missed you too di! Now we will have so much fun in Cabu bhai's wedding!

Both girls giggled and hi fied making Manik smile.

Manik: Tu baki sabse mili?

Naira: Nai abhi Cabu bhai se milna baki hai.. mai chali bye.. jaldi niche ana!

And she ran away like an excited kid and Manan chuckled. Nandini went to the closet as she was in bathrobe and was going through her clothes when she felt his hands wrapping around his waist pulling her in a back hug.

Manik: *kissing her cheek* Good morning jaana!

Nandini: *smiling and going through her clothes* Good morning Mani!

Manik: *pointing at a dress* Umm ye wala pehno.. *she looked at him in surprise* What tum mere choose karti ho so thought to make it easy for you.. aakhir meri nanhi sa bachi ho na tum.

Nandini giggled and kissed his cheek tight.

Nandini: *handing his undies* Acha now go take a shower!

Manik: Are mai tayaar kar deta hu na tumhe.

Nandini: *folding her hands across her chest* Jee nahi.. go!

He left pouting and she too changed giggling at him. She then blow dried her hair and removed his clothes and went to the mirror to do some light makeup. She was done when she looked up to see him standing behind her, in his office attire, adjusting his hair.

After being done, he smiled at her and pecking her hair from behind he muttered "I'll be back". He came back with a box making her frown.

Manik: *handing it to her* This is for you!

Nandini: This? Kyu?

Manik: Its your karwachauth gift! Parso I hadnt opened my luggage and kal raat ko de deta agar tumne mujhe DISTRACT na kiya hota na toh...

He stressed on the word 'distract' and she blushed.

She opened the box to see a beautiful rose gold and diamond necklace along with its matching earrings. Her eyes twinkled on caressing it and she grinned at him.

She jumped on him and kissed his lips.

Nandini: I love it! Its beautiful, thank you! I love you!

Manik: Wow! Though itna acha reward expect nahi kiya tha, but thank you! Anyways I need a proper kiss now.

She giggled and kissed him making him smile. Both walked in the living room to see Cabir giving Naira a piggy back ride making them laugh.

Naira: Bhabhi! Aap bhi aajao, *to Manik* bhai give her a piggy back ride too!

Nandini's eyes widen as Raj and Nyo were sitting there too. They laughed at her expression and all walked to dining room for breakfast. Manan were walking behind when Manik whispered in her ears.

Manik: So does my bacha also want a piggy back ride? Coz I will be glad!

Nandini: *rolling her tongue in her cheeks* Yah but what to do my husband is not brave enough to do that in front of all!

Manik: Is that a challenge Mrs Malhotra?

Nandini: Yes!

Manik: Sochlo, pachtaogi!

Nandini: Rehne do rehne do, aapke bas ka nahi!

In the next second she was lifted and kept on the sofa making her squeal. All turned behind to see Manik taking Nandini on his back as she held onto his neck in fear and her legs automatically wrapped around his waist. Nandini blushed seeing all and hid her face in his back while he winked at Naira who blew a flying kiss to them. He carried her to the dinning table and placed her on the chair.

Manik: *smirking* My princess wish is my demand! *winking at Nandini* And Mrs Malhotra, hope you liked it!

All laughed while Nandini looked down feeling shy. They all started breakfast and conversing but Nandini was not looking up from her plate too. He took her hand and entwined his fingers under the table.

Manik: *whispering* There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Be normal! We all love you!

She gave him a smile and slowly started engaging with others making him smile. Soon after breakfast all men left to their respective offices while all the ladies including Ishita, Mukalya and Navneha went for Diwali shopping as it was coming in few days time. Also all the arrangements for Diwali party that happens in Malhotra mansion is done my women of the house only so this time even Nandini and Navya were helping Nyo.

They all reached shopping centre and dispersed in different shops.

Nandini: Nyo maa this flowers seems good na? Dekhlijiye ek baar..

Nyo: Ya these are good just add some of the red flowers and ye lighting bhi iske saath match karegi..

Nandini: Hmm.

Navya: *from behind* Mom ye decor dekhliye ek baar..

Both Nandini and Nyo were looking at her with wide eyes making her conscious.

Navya: Kya hua? Acha nahi hai?

Nandini: Navu how did you select the same colour scheme we both did?

Nyo: *laughing* Thank god humari choices match karti hai.. mujhe dono bahu mai se ek ka toh choose nahi karta padta.

NavNi giggled and placing all the order, they asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to Malhotra mansion. Meanwhile, they all went to clothes and jewellery shopping next. They all selected few dresses for themselves with each other's help and for their man too. Nandini took few dresses and went in trial room. She was getting confused and took out her phone to message Manik.

Mr patidev are you free?

Manik who just came from a meeting and settled on the chair with his head rested, heard his phone vibrate. He smiled seeing a message from 'Shona ❤'

Yes Mrs Manik your patidev is absolutely free for you!

Nandini smiled reading his message and bit her lips.

Did you had lunch?

Manik: *self talk* Mar gaya.. Nandu ke Ayiappa bacha lena!

Woh shona I was about to..

Wth.. Mani have you seen the time? Its 4 and you still havent had lunch? Abhi ke abhi order karo!

Ha theek hai na karta hu.. bhadak kyu rahi ho? Acha tell me what are you doing?

Wo hum sab Diwali shopping pe aye the and was buying clothes.. aapke liye maine le liye hai but I am getting confused for mine so mai pic bhejti hu, choose for me.

She wore all the three outfits one by one and send a mirror pic to him.

Damn woman I love those curves! Why are you planning to distract me from my work?

Nandini blushed and giggled too.

Take this one, others are way too sexy and I can't let others see what is mine.. just mine to see! Although, on second thought, take the other two too, you can wear it in front of me! 😉

Mani you are too much! Possessive hubby! Anyways thanks, I like this one too! Ok bye! 🤗🤗

Bye! 😘

Nandini came out paid for her shopping and later they all gathered in the food court. After eating snack Nandini and Neha went to washroom when Neha asked something making her freeze.

Neha: Nandini what's going on between you and Manik?
