Manik's POV..
Finally we reached Home..! Mumbai..! For the
first time as husband as wife..! We were going
to enter our house..! We were about to step in
when..!
"Manik Sir..! Wait a second..!"Mohan's Wife
Simi came and stopped us..
"What happened Simi?"I asked curiously..
"Its' Nandini Maam's first visit after marriage..!
Greh Parwaish and aarti is compulsory..!"She
was such a sweetheart..!
"Yes..! Though we are your servants Sir..! But
it's our duty to fulfill all rasams..!"Mohan spoke
and I was overwhelmed while Nandini was in
tears..!
"Awww...! You both are so cute...!"Alya
exclaimed from behind and all smiled..!
Then Simi did aarti..! Teeka..! And then the rice
ritual...! During all this Nandini didn't left my
hand...! Not even for a second..! Then Simi
placed the red liquid and Nandini stepped in..!
"Welcome..! MR and MRS Malhotra..!"Mohan
and Simi spoke together..! And
"Welcome FAB5..!" All clapped and we smiled..!
Then we all sat in lounge for coffee..!
"Umm Manik..! Ap ko office ni jana?"Suddenly
Nandini asked and I look at her astonished..
"You want me to go to office?"I was shocked...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nandini's POV...
Aiyooo Manii office nahi jayen gay tou how will

spoke..
"Haan na Manik..! Guys..! You all forgotten?

rescued me..!
"Ohh yes..! We forgot..! Lets go..! Baby don't you
dare to skip the meal..! Jaldi so jana don't wait

and left after pecking my forehead..!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mam..! What kind of help you need from us?
Why you asked me to cancel all the preparations
you ordered for?"Mohan Dada asked as soon as
everyone left for work..!
"Because I want to do everything by my
own..!"I said happily and Dada simply nodded..!
"Dada ap jaoa..! Go and have fun with
Simi Didi..! I will do everything by myself..!"I
said and after a little argument Dada left..!
"Ok Mr.Malhotra..! Time to plan a simple
sa choto sa surprise for you..!"I spoke to myself
and began the preparations..! First of all I called
Manik..
"Haan baby?"Manik asked in a hurry as soon as
he attended my call he must be very busy..
"I need advance..!"I spoke in a sudden voice..
"Hain?"Maybe he was surprised..
"Aray I am your secretary na so I need my
salary..! Advance main..!"I explained..
"But why you need that mere salary when you
have my gold credit card?"He was very much
shocked..
"Manik..! When I said that I need it that means I
need my salary end of discussion..! I need it in
half hour..!"I said sternly and ended the call..!
I knew he will send me the money within 30
minutes and as expected salary was here at 29th
minute..! Then I started all my preparations..!
Though the money was not enough for a grand
party but it was more than enough for the
things I wanted..! With the tick tick of clock time
passed and finally it was 11:45 pm..!
"Come soon Manik..!"I whispered dreamily after
giving a last glance to my preparations..!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manik's POV..
After meeting the investor Tiger,Max and Jack
left. It was night now so me and Cabir drove
back to office to finish some pending files..!
During this Nandini called me for salary I
wonder what was cooking in her head..
"Buddy you go..! I will join you I have some
work..!"Cabir said as we parked in the parking
and I came up to my office..! As soon as I
opened the door of my Cabin the person I saw
made me frown..
"Good evening my darling Son..!"Dad spoke in
his usual attitude filled tone and I sighed..
"Why are you here?"I asked crossing my arms
on my chest..
"I am here to talk..! A friendly talk..!"He said
sarcastically..
"And If I would say that I am not at all
interested then?"I too said with the same tone
and he laughed a little..!
"You have to be interested son..! As you know
it's the matter of your love and friends..!"He
was so cruel..
"I am very well aware of the game you played
with my friends..! So now don't even dare to
fool me..!"I shouted furiously..
"Relax son..! Don't shout already..!"He said in a
calm tone and his calmness was giving me
goosebumps..!
"What do you want?"I asked as I wanted him to
leave..
"Simple..! Leave that s**ty wife of yours..!"Dad
spit out the cruelest words and I fumed with
anger..
"Don't you dare to speak any ill about my
wife..!"I yelled on top of my voice I felt like
punching him right away..!
"Manik..! Come on don't be an emotional
fool..!"Dad was giving me 'advises'...
"Shutup..! I don't wanna see your face Dad..!
Get out of my office right now..! And yeah..!
Nandini is my wife..! I am not gonna leave
her..! Never ever..! She is the only family I
have..!"I shouted as loud as I could..
"Oh really family? Manik Malhotra she is just
behind your money..!"He spoke again..
"Enough..! One more word against her and you
will face my worst Dad..! You know me very
well don't you..!"I yelled again..
"Don't raise your voice..! I am your Dad..!"He
too shouted...
"Dad..? What kind of Dad are you? You can
never be my Dad..! Never ever...! Aray Dad tou
kya ap tou insaan tak kehlany kay lyk nahi
hain..! A person like you is not more then a
shame for me..!"I was spitting out the anger I
had for him..
"You will regret Manik..! Now no one..! No one
can save your friends and your wife from my
curse..!"He spoke furiously and started walking
outside..
"Do whatever you want..! Am not afraid of
you..!"I too was so much angry and he left...! As
soon as he left Cabir came in and I narrated
him everything..!
"Relax bro..! Everything will be ok..!"He said
patting my back and I nodded..! I need to see
Nandini now..! Yeah..!
"Cabir..! I am going home..! Tu sambhaal
laina..!"I said hell tired and frustrated..! Then I
drove back..! Too much traffic..! I got stuck in
traffic for atleast two hours..! I hate Mumbai
because of traffic jams..! On my way I bought
fresh red roses for Nandini..! The time I reached
home it was 11:55 pm..! I entered the house and
all lights were off..!
"Mohan?"I called his name but no response..!
"BabY?"I called for Nandini and walked more
inside when suddenly something caught my
attention..! Lights..! Candle lights..! Each candle
encased with glass on each stair with some
flower petals..!
I smiled..! So there is a surprise hmm..! So that
salary was for this..! I smiled and look at the
roses I was holding in my hands..! I slowly
walked up the stairs and finally reached the
top..! I placed the flowers on the shelf and look
down the floor..!
Then cute little tomatoes made me go awe..!
The I love you was so cute..! I gently picked them
up and look closer. Simple and cute..! Then a
total pathway of red roses leading to OUR
room..! But why she did all this? What was
special? I was confused..! Then I reached our
room slowly following the trail of rose petals..!
There was a small card hanging to the knob
"Open the door with smile" was written on it.
Nobody ever had done so much for me..! But
she did..! Dad was asking me to leave the girl
who gave me life..! Was he kidding..? I smiled
and turned the knob to open the door..! It was
so dark inside the room as I entered when
suddenly two familiar hands cupped my eyes..!
"Nandini..!"I whispered and tried to protest
when...
"Shhh..!"She shushed me and I kept quiet..! "You
will not open your eyes until I will ask you to open
ok?"She whispered again..
"Okay..!"I was still confused what was going on
there..! I felt her she came in front of me and
entwined our hands..! I was standing there with
eyes closed. I felt she tiptoed and bent reached
my ear..! "Now just feel this moment
Manik..!"She whispered again and imposed a
kiss on my ear..! "Ten..! Nine..! Eight..! Seven..!
Six..! Five..! Four..! Three..! Two..! One..!"She
was counting and I was drowned in her husky
voice when suddenly..
"Happy Birthday Manik..!"She whispered
lovingly in my ears and crap..! It was 12 am it's
my buday..! Her voice was super melodious and
I felt like melting all the way..! She was a
goddess..! Her surprise was simple yet so much
beautiful..! Nobody ever in my life had made me
feel so special..!
"I Love you so much Nandini..!"I whispered
back emotionally and she tiptoed to reach my
height..! And We kissed..! She Kissed me..! I
kissed her back..! Slow..! Magical Kiss..! I
pushed her a little and she fell on the bed..! I
fell over her..! I broke the kiss and started
kissing her neck..!
"Manik stop..! Not now..!"She whispered and
palmed my lips..! Now again I was
confused why was she stopping me?
"There is a lot more I want to show you..!"She
said lovingly caressing my cheek with her
thumb and got up..! Then suddenly she turned
on all the lights and once again I smiled..! The
room was decorated so cutely..! Heart
balloons..! Red and white..! Everything...! Bed
sheets..! Pillows..!
Lastly I look at Nandini as usual she was so cute
in the white and red frock which ended till her
knees..!
She was standing in the middle of the room
looking at me smilingly while I was sitting on
the bed total awestruck..
