Terrace around 1:30 am

Manik and Nandini were talking and planning what to do tomorrow. Manik was making Nandini understand everything. Then Nandini was sharing her thoughts with him. Manik was lying on his back, while Nandini was sitting beside him. Slowly she heard noise of snoring. She look beside and saw Manik was sleeping peacefully one hand behind his nape and another on his stomach.

Nandini smiled looking at him. She stood up from her place and take the blanket from bed and wrapped it around Manik, then she bent down a little.

Nandini whispered in Manik's ear: Good Night...

With this he moved in his sleep and Nandini backed off. She took small steps towards the door, then she looked at him again and blushed a little and went down to her room. She peeped in the room, luckily everybody was fast asleep. She too went to her bed and kept the pillows aside and lay down. She started remembering moments she just spent with Manik, and slept too.

@Terrace around 8 am

It is a new morning, birds are chirping, fresh air is roaming around, little little sun rays falling here and there. And yes disturbing the most handsome guy. Manik moved in his sleep and opened his eyes, he sat up and looked around.

He thought to himself that he must be sleep while talking to her. He shrugged his shoulder and went down.

Manik was climbing down from the stairs, and Nandini came out of kitchen holding a vessel in her hand. Both saw each other and remembered last night talks.

Manik with a big smile: Good Morning.

Nandini also smiled back: Good Morning, Aap fresh ho jaiye, Nasta ban gaya he.

Manik nodded and Nandini left from there.

Soon all the members gathers in dining room. While Nandini and Mukti was working and preparing in kitchen. Suddenly Mukti felt dizzy, and she was about to collapse, but Nandini saw her and held her. Mukti too hold the kitchen platform with one hand and one hand on her forehead.

Nandini worriedly: Bhabhi, what happened?

Mukti confusingly: I don't know.

Nandini: aap chaliye, me Bhaiya ko batati hu, wo aap ko doctor ke pass le jayenge.

With this Nandini was about to leave, but Mukti held her hand.

Mukti: no Nandini, not now.

Nandini: par kyun?

Mukti: kyunki abhi puja he, it is very important for you and Manik. Aur abhi kisi ko bhi pata chalega so everybody will get worried.

Nandini: but Bhabhi...

Mukti cut her in between: No Babhi... shh tu chal.

Nandini nodded in disbelief and both went outside. Nandini noticed Manik's gaze on her. She too looked at him and he winked at her, Nandini's eyes widened due to shock. She glared him and took the seat. Soon everybody enjoyed their breakfast, Mukti was the first one to get up from the table.

Nyonika: are Mukti, beta tumne kuch nahi khaya.

Mukti: ha wo Mom, maine juice piya na. Bas aur nahi khana.

Anant: are aise kaise nahi khana, common sit and eat properly.

Mukti was about to say something, but Anant cut her in between: no cheating with food Mukti.

Mukti pouted and sat on the chair, while abhi was smiling seeing her wife.

Soon all finished their food, and servants took all the plates.

Nyonika: chalo Nandini, go and get ready.

Nandini: but Mom, abhi sirf 8:30 baje he. Me to 15 min me ready ho jaungi. Itni jaldi..

Nyonika: are ajj tum pehli bar Manik ke sath puja me beth rahi ho, ekdum ache se taiyar hona. Go girls, get her ready and tum sab bhi ready ho jana.

All the girls stood up and took Nandini to their room, Manik was seeing Nandini going in the room. Cabir and Dhruv came from back and lightly slapped his nape, Manik startled first but then glared at both of them.

Cabir: chal tub hi ready hoja.

Dhruv: ha ha chal.

Girls room

Alia and Navya was continuously blabbering something about relationships and etc. while Mukti was just standing there with a tensed face and doing Nandini's hair. Nandini was keenly noticing Mukti's behaviour.

Suddenly Navya asked something to Mukti, but she didn't replied, Navya again called her but yet she again didn't replied. Navya and Alia looked at Nandini, Nandini just assured both of them. Nandini turned around.

Mukti: are Nandini kya kar rahi ho? Let me compelte your hair first.

Nandini made her sit on the bed and then she sat beside her.

Nandini: kya hua Bhabhi? Aap subah se khoi khoi lag rahi he.

Mukti looked at her with shocked expressions and was about to deny her, but Nandini stopped her in between.

Nandini: agar aap mujhe apna manti he to please bataiye.

Mukti stood up and started playing with her dupatta: wooo.. woo actually... (she stammered)

Alia confusingly: wo kya Mukti?

Mukti little hesitantly turned toward them: woo I think... i think.. I am Pregnant.

First there was no reaction for good 10 seconds, but suddenly a;; three of them jumped on Mukti and started shouting "Congratulation".

Mukti: shh shh... guys.. relax... ye bat Abhi ko nahi pata he.

Navya confusingly: kya? Ye tumne abhi Abhimanyu ko nahi bataya? Par kyun?

Mukti: coz I am not sure, aur me janti hu how much he wants this. Par agar jo me soch rahi hu waisa nahi he and if me use bata dungi to he will be hurt.

Nandini: par aapko aisa kyun lagta he k aap pregnant he?

Mukti: remember Nandini that vomiting? Phir aaj subah wo dizziness.

Alia: ha par Mukti ye sab to normal cheese he.

Mukti: Alia, I also missed my dates too.

Nandini: are you sure Bhabhi?

Mukti: yess I missed my dates.

Nandini: to phir aap bata dijiye na, Bhaiya ko.

Mukti: he is very sensitive, mujhe dar lag raha he, if me pregnant na hui to use bahot bura lagega. Aur yaha doctor ke pass kaise jaye?

Nandini: to aap ghar pe hi test kar lijiye na.

Mukti looked at her: yah actually you are right, par mujhe test lake kon dega?

Alia: I will go, during puja I can sneak out. After puja you can test.

Mukti smiled and hugged Alia: thank you Alia.

Alia: you are most welcome.

All of them smiled and then everybody again got busy.

Main Hall @9:45 am

Manik was sitting on a chair and doing something on his phone, while other gents too standing near him. Amms, Nyonika and Chachi was helping Panditji in puja's work.

Suddenly Manik heard someone's anklet's sound, and he turned towards the sound, and he was numb at the moment.

Nandini was wearing a beautiful, white chiffon sari with golden patti on the pallu, her golden blouse was sleeveless, showing her bare milky arms. She had donw a very light make up, and her hairs were open but a little curled up.

Manik was just admiring her looking at her with so much intensity, Nandini too fwlt his gaze on her, but his gaze was so strong that she couldn't even look up at him. She was blushing hard. Navya had already applied some blush on her cheek, but because of Manik's constant gaze, her cheeks became redder.

Cabir noticed Manik's gaze on her, and other's also looking at him, so to break Manik's chain of thoughts Cabir coughed and instantly Manik came out of his Lala land. He looked around and everybody else was looking at him, and supressing their smile. Manik faked a smile and quickly took the seat in front of Panditji. All burst in to laughter. And Manik looked down in embarrassment.

Amms stood up and went to Nandini. She took her nazar.(nazar utarna PS- you know what I mean)

Amms: mera bachha, bilkul apne Maa jaisa lag raha he.

Nandini smiled and bent down to take blessings from her.

Amms: hamesha khush raho.

Everybosy was watching this duo with "Awww" expression on their face. Soon, Mukti made Nandini sit beside Manik. They both looked at each other, but again looked down blushing hard.

Panditji, started chanting Mantra, while Manik and Nandini was showering God with flowers and vermilion. Meanwhile Alia too sneaked out and bought pregnancy test, of course without letting anyone know.

After one our puja got over, amms gave everyone Prasad and Aarti. Manik and Nandini too stood up from their place and took everyone's blessing by touching their feet.

It was now noon time, everybody sat on dining table, Abhi was not leaving Mukti for a second so Alia gave pregnancy test to Nandini, so that after lunch, Mukti can test.

Everybody had their lunch peacefully and all the elders took place in gazebo having tea in their hands, while Cabir, Rishabh and Dhruv was playing football in the garden, Manik and Abhimanyu was just sitting beside Mukti. Nandini came out and looked here and there, she found Mukti sitting in between Manik and Abhi. She goes there.

Nandini: Bhabhi, aap andar aaiye na, mujhe kam he.

Before Mukti could speak Abhi spoke: kya kaam he?

Nandini got scared first, but then Mukti spoke: are use kam he, tum use dara kyun rahe ho.

Abhi realised his mistake: sorry Nandini wo, Mukti ki tabiyat thik nahi he so.

Nandini: are no, Bhaiya, I know, me dawai ke liye he Bhabhi ko bula rahi hu.

Abhi nodded and he too stood up: chalo.

Mukti: ek minute, tum kaha?

Abhi: tumhari dawai na, chalo I'll also come.

Mukti slapped his face, while Manik laughed seeing his Bhaiya's desperation.

Mukti glared Manik and Abhi: no you are not coming, just sit here and enjoy. I'll take the medicines.

With this she stomped her foot and quickly went inside the house. Abhi too sat on the seat again. Nandini looked at Manik, and she too went behind Mukti.

Nandini was walking through the corridor to go to their room, suddenly again someone pull her in kitchen. This time she didn't shout, because she knows, it is him.

Nandini looked at him angrily: kya he?

Manik smiled: kal rat tum upar kyun nahi soyi?

Nandini looked at him: upar, wo agar koi uth jata to niche jaldi, phir.

Manik smiled at her innocence. Manik looked at her top to bottom. Nandini blushed hard under his gaze.

Manik: waise you are looking extra beautiful (he bent little to her leven and whispered huskily) and extra HOT...

Nandini clutched his kurta in her tiny hands, Manik wrapped his one hand around her waist and one hand on the wall, while Nandini was standing completely resting herself on Manik. Manik kissed her on cheeks, and she again blushed and left him, and stood resting her back on wall.

She too check out Manik from top to bottom.

Nandini boldly: you too looking super-hot.  

Manik rested his both hands on wall, and went close to her face.

Manik: achha.. how much hot?

Nandini blushed and looked down, Manik made her look at him: tell me, how much?

With this again, Manik bent down and kissed on her cheek, nandini just closed her eyes, manik bent a little more down and smooched her neck passionately, Nandini couldn't resist and clutched his kurta with both hands, and...

DHADAM...

Something fell from Nandini's hand. Both came out of trance, both looked down, Nandini was about to grab it, but Manik was fast enough and took the packet. He saw the packet and then look at Nandini, Nandini closed her eyes tightly (PS- chori pakdi gayi). Manik looked at her confusingly, Nandini opened her eyes and grab it from him.

Nandini stammered: woo... woo.. ye...

Manik folded his arms near chest: haa I am listening..

Nandini looked down. Manik laughed loudly seeing her like this...

Nandini looked at him with amused expressions. Manik stopped laughing. And again grabbed her from waist.

Manik: sirft cheek pe kiss karne se, you will be not pregnant Miss Murthy.

Nandini slapped his chest lightly: I know Mr. Malhotra.

Manik became naughtier and came close to her, and started caressing her bare arms: achha, then kya karne se you will be pregnant?

Nandini widened her eyes.

Manik laughed at her again: you are so innocent.

Nandini: aap jaiye, mujhe aapse baat hi nahi karni.

Manik stopped her and again pinned her to the wall, this time he was close enough and their lips were just inches apart.

Manik: kiske liye he ye?

Nandini looked down, she cant tell him, but if she will not tell him, then he will misunderstand her.

Manik made her look at him: I know its not for you, so tell me.

Nandini looked at him: wo Bhabhi...

Manik shouted in excitement: WHAT???

Nandini placed her hands on his lips: shhh... Kisi ko nahi pata he.

Manik smiled and kissed her hands, she took her hands.

Manik: par Bhabhi ke liye, matlab?

Nandini: wo Bhabhi ko lagta he, ke she is pregnant. But she is not sure, so this.

Nandini showed him the packet.

Manik: par Bhabhi ko aisa kyun laga ke she is pregnant.

Nandini: wo she missed her dates soo..

Manik looked at her confusingly: dates? What dates?

Nandini looked at him: kuch nahi, let me go, Bhabhi must be waiting.

Manik: no, tell me what dates.

Nandini looked at him and made some cute pouts.

Manik: don't make pouts, tell me.

Nandini signed: okay. Dates of period.

Manik: ohh.. okay. So go na.. yaha kyun khadi ho. Bas yehi chahiye tumhe, har waqt mere sath time spend karna he, jao Bhabhi must be waiting.

Nandini's mouth opened in "O" shape, she hit him hard on his arms, in which Manik winced in pain.

Nandini: lagan a, bahot achha hua. Aapko lagni hi chahiye.

She started to leave, but again he stopped her. This time Nandini looked at him with irritated face.

Manik: okay sorry, baba. Just don't give me these looks.

Nandini smiled: its okay. Ab aap mujhe jana denge?

Manik nodded in no.

Nandini: Manik please.

Manik: okay ek shart pe.

Nandini: kya?

Manik: ye jo tum mujhe aap aap karke bulati to na, stop doing that. Lagta he me tumse 10 saal bada hu.

Nandini: par me to aapko respect...

Manik cut her in between: I know, you are giving me respect, but Nandini your actions give me respect. Aur phir we are in 21st century where everyone is equal. Then.

Nandini: okay baba. I will not call you that abse.

Manik: good. Go now. Aur mujhe batana, kya result aaya.

Nandini: sure. And abhi kisi ko mat batana.

Manik: sure. Aur party ki sari taiyari ho chuki he, hame sirf sabko sham ko bahar bhejna padega just to make arrangements for the party.

Nandini hmmed and left the room. Manik stood there leaning on wall and smiling like an idiot.
