It was love at first sight, at least sight, at ever and ever sight.

Glancing at the people wearing all fancy trying to look best Nandini tried her best to avoid all those attention she was getting as soon she entered.

She was all odd in the crowd better to be called different with those jeans and boots.
She stood in the corner with her drink she wanted to leave as soon as possible and now her main task was also done.

Her cheeks were literally hurting after all those fake smile she gave to those weird men and women with whom she was forced to shake hand with.
True her mother gave her glare when she saw her in those clothes but she well knew Nandini would always do what she wants and its better as long as she is here.

Nandini had basically finished her all duty of being a good daughter so she was satisfied.
Through the corner of her eyes she saw a lady to her early thirtys walking towards her..she didn't know what to do so she hurriedly walk off to the opposite direction to the isolation but to her bad luck she collided with something as hard as rock spilling all her drink on that hard thing.

She whined in annoyance holding her nose but her eyes went wide when she saw her neighbor with a stained shirt and a frown on his face.

"You"... Both shouted in unison.

"Look what you did you clumsy woman"... Manik pointed at his blue shirt which has now big circle of stain right to the chest area.

Nandini didn't know what to say so she started to wipe off that area with the tissue she was holding her fingers occasionally brushing his chest through the fabric making Manik feel goosebumps.

"I am so sorry"... She muttered through her action.

"Its fine...don't bother"... Manik excused himself taking a leave to the washroom..her touch gave some sensation... a tinkling sensation.

.

Nandini didn't know what to do now...she was all lonely in the party cause her parents were busy with the guest while his brother was also no where to be seen so she decided to move to the top floor to find some peace.

Walking into the empty corridor she felt a bit relaxed knowing no one was here to bother her...she walked in calmness knowing the every route of this mansion...the mansion where she was born and brought up.

Following the sound of her boots she came across to her favorite place the balcony of her used to be room which was spacious and beautiful.

But she didn't know somebody was already there.

Looking at familiar back figure she got alarmed she quietly walked up to the strange figure allowing cold winds to hit her skin smoothly.

A gentle tab on his shoulder and again her eyes were as wide as ocean.

"What are you doing here?"... Nandini frowned looking at his handsome face.

Manik too got startled after seeing her at that moment.

"I am just chilling here..."... Manik responded blankly raising his one shoulder.

"No...you didn't get ..I mean what are you doing here in this party..are you even invited".. Nandini stared at his stained which was more wet now maybe cause of water he must have applied to clean it off making his chest part more visible then it was before.

Manik looked at her eyes then followed her gaze stopping at his chest area he smirked a little "like what you see"... He grinned.

"Shutup.." Nandini snapped out managed to look at his eyes. "That's not my question" ... She stated awkwardly.

Manik looked at her with a confuse expression but soon got what she meant.

"Ofcorse I was invited..but how I wish I wasn't"... Manik whispered the last part but loud enough for Nandini to hear.

"And how about you?".... Manik further continue gaining his husky voice back.

"Same...actually my father organized this party".... Nandini let out looking at his dark eyes.

"What...?"... Now its was Manik's turn to make his eyes bigger.

"You are the daughter of Mr. Murty?"... Manik couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes..I am..but why are you so shocked?"... Nandini stood looking at his eyes which were soon back to their normal size.

"No..nothing..I am just wondering why the daughter of such a rich business man lives in a small two room apartment"...Manik moved away to the edge of balcony holding the steel bar.

"Long story"... Nandini slowly replied.

"How about you?"... Nandini walked up to him copying his posture.

Manik was silent for a moment looking at the beautiful moon he just chuckled.

"You know Malhotra's?"... His voice was low yet deep.

"No need to say further I got it...so you are the only arrogant son of Mr.Malhotra?"... Nandini looked at his face which was frowned by now after hearing her statement.

"Don't look at me like that...people says so..I am just repeating their words"... Nandini raised her both hands in defense.

"And people come to you and say that....right?"... Manik whole body was turned to her now throwing glares at her face.

"Oh..I didn't mention that I do internship there in Malhotra's...and they keep talking about you"... Nandini's fingers were pointed at him with grinned at her face.

"You are so annoying..you know that..right?"...Manik looked at her face controlling himself from punching that girl.

"Yeah....and thanks for reminding me"... Nandini sang the word.

Manik stare at her eyes mostly glaring shooting daggers at her but she could care less .. Shifting her gaze to the moon she started to admire the beauty of night but little did she know Manik was taking slow steps towards her closing the gap.

.

Zerikh was totally messing by now..no matter how many times he would play a joker but baby would not stop crying instead the cry became louder with every passing second.

He was literally running all over the house searching for the baby feeder but he couldn't succeed.

"Aish...why did I agree for this?".... He dropped himself down on to the couch out of exhaustion and irritation.

At last he pulled the baby onto his lap gently patting his head trying to calm him down.. at first baby wasn't calming down but soon the cry started to die and faded altogether in the moment.

"Finally".... He let out a sigh stretching his arms.

.

"What are you doing?".... Nandini let out a shaky breath while stepping back.

But Manik ignored her still his foot approaching her until she was corned to the wall opposite to the iron pillar.

"Now say what were you saying?"..... Manik placed both of his muscular arms size of her head blocking her completely.

Nandini felt like all of a sudden her brain ditched her leaving her all dumb in front of him. Those dark eyes staring deep into her brown one.

"Can you back away please...you are making me uncomfortable"... Nandini tried to avoid those eye contact and hand gently pushing his chest but he didn't even budge.

"I don't care Ms.Murty"... Manik bend closer to her ear whispering those words as his warm breath gently brushing his hair.

Nandini's whole body was on fire cause of too much closeness feeling completely on her cheeks and by now she was sure of her red cheeks.

Manik on the other hand felt his heart accelerating which was all new for him as well...her touch was different a burning desire to close that gap which was still between their body.
