Nandini's POV..
We were walking hand in hand. It was a
garden. A beautiful garden. I look at him and
he smiled back. I shyly looked away and
heard his laughter. The cool light breeze was
intoxicating. Slowly he took me in a side hug
and I rested my head on his chest. We were
still walking. Don't know for how long we
kept walking and suddenly the white pure
cloud turned into black ones. I was scared
and he too released me. I look at him
confused and he was staring at those clouds.
I called his name but it seems he didn't
listened to me. And suddenly from
nowhere Bhai too came. He too was staring
at the black clouds. I called both of them but
no response and suddenly they both started
backing off. I tried to catch them and they
vanished in darkness...
"BHAI..! MANIK..!"I woke up with a gasp
shouting for my men and sat up. I was
sweating like hell and my breath was
accelerated. I look here and there where as
Manik?? Suddenly the door popped open
and Bhai came in running.
"Nandu? Bacha what happened?"He asked
worriedly and I hugged him tightly hiding
myself totally in his arms..
"It was very bad dream bhai..! Very very
bad..!"I said sadly and he patted my head..
"Shh..! I am with you..! Nothing bad will
happen..!"He spoke caressing my cheek and
I broke the hug. I look at everyone and all
smiled at me..
"Kitny Drmay karti hai tu Nandu..!"Suddenly
Jack spoke and my eyes winded. All look at
him shocked and my anger rose to peak..!
"Get out..! Everyone..!"I shouted and started
throwing pillows at them..
"Aisy he I don't call you Jungli billi you are a
Churail..!"Jack shouted and I again threw a
pillow at him..!
"Maaaniiikk..!"I shouted for him but seems
like he was not at home. He promised me
that he won't leave then where was he..!
Mohan Dada came with milk glass and I
denied to drink..! My mood was totally off..
---------------------
Manik's POV..
"No..! Maaannniiikkk..!"I heard her shout as
soon as I entered the house. I run towards
the room and saw everyone standing outside
the room..
"Aa gya tu..! Aagy say is churail ko hmry
oper chood kay gya na tou tery baap say
pehly me tjy maar doon ga..!"Jack yelled
and thrust the glass of chocolate milk in my
hand which was for Nandini..!
"Manik..! Calm her down..! She is not even
listening to us..!"Tiger said helplessly and I
nodded.. I entered the room and saw her
sitting on the corner of the bed hugging her
knees all pillows were on the floor she must
have threw all these on my buddies..!
"Nandini?"I called her..
"I am not talking to you..!"She said coldly
and I smiled..
"Ohoo..! Itna gusa..!"I said cheekily and
placed the milk glass on bedside table..
"You are a liar..! You said that you will not
go anywhere but you left..!"She said looking
at me with teary eyes and I bit my lower lip.
I gently pulled her in my lap and kissed her
forehead..
"I went to buy your gift..!"I said caressing
her cheek sometimes lying become the only
way to calm the situation and a sudden
spark twinkled in her eyes..
"Gift?"She shouted happily and I nodded..!
"Dikhayen na..!"She was so so excited..
"Haan..! Dekha doon ga..! But first you have
to finish this milk..!"I said smiling on her
cuteness and picked up the milk glass..
"Ganda hai..!"She said making a bad face
and pinched her nose..!
"Ganda nahi hai..! It's yummy..! See..!?"I
said hurriedly and sipped from the glass..!
Then I licked my lips and she bit her lower
lip..! "Come on be my good darling and
drink this..!"I said lovingly and neared the
glass to her lips..
"Phir gift dekhyen gay na?"She asked with a
hope..
"Of course!"I assured her and then taking
small small sips I finally made her finish the
glass..! In between I was talking to her and
she was enjoying the moment..

Writer's POV..
"Only Manik can handle her..!"Alya said
sitting on the couch and Max too sat beside
her..
"She don't trust me..!"Tiger said sadly and he
too fell on a couch. All awe at him and Mukti
sat beside him..
"Tiger..! Aisa nahi hai..! She has just met
you..! It will take her time to build up the
trust..!"Mukti said softly and ruffled his hair.
He laid on the couch and placed his head in
Mukti's lap..
"I am glad that at least she has Manik whom
she trust fully..!"Max said in a low tone..
"Yeah..! But she is a very strong girl..! I still
remember the day she came for the
interview..!"Cabir said smiling at all of them
and all smiled..
"I am failing as a brother..!"Tiger was
getting very emotional while Mukti was
caressing his hair..
"No Tiger..! Come on..! Since childhood she
had no one to trust with..! Tu time day us ko
aur apny app ko..! I am sure eventually
everything will be ok...!"Jack said in an
assuring tone and all nodded..
"I second you Jack..!"Cabir said patting his
shoulder and he smiled lightly..
"So what should we gonna do now?"Alya
asked looking at Max and all look at Tiger.
"Hmm..! The first and foremost thing is..!
We will not hang around alone..! None of
us..!"He said strictly and Mukti caressed his
cheek assuring him that they all will follow
his decision..
"Correct..! We won't..! Moreover..! If any of
us will sense danger around just a hint and
we all will text to each other about our
locations..! Last thing! I will ask the security
agents for help..!"Cabir ended the rule
book..
"Ok then..! All for one...!"Jack exclaimed and
forwarded his hand..! Everyone got up and
placed their hands on his..
"And one for all..!"All exclaimed back and
then finally a group hug..

Manik's POV..
"I have finished my milk please
gift dekhyen na..!"Nandini again cribed and
I look at the message from jack it was 'Take
care you both! We are going! Good Night!'
"Haan gift..! I am sure you will love it..!"I
aroused the curiosity and she clapped..
"Show na pleasee..!"She almost shouted with
excitement and I laughed. I texted Mohan to
brought the gift..
"Mohan and Simmi are bringing your gift
here..!"I said tucking the hair behind her ear
and she made a face..
"Jalddii..!"Her patience was crossing the
limits..
"Coming baba..!"I assured her and she
hugged me tightly.
"You know! You are the only one person in
this whole world to whom I trust will never
leave me! Whatever I do you never scolds
me! Whatever I blabber you always
listen! Mjy apni kismat par yakeen nahi ata
Manik..! Mjy lagta hai main sapna dekh rahi
hoon! Jagoon ge and the illusion bubble will
be pop!"She was whispering in my ear all
the time caressing my nape hair and I run
my fingers in her hair..
"This is not a dream Nandini..! It's all
reality! The love between us! This night
everything..!"I whispered back and she
kissed my ear lightly. I nuzzled in her hair
and she giggled. Suddenly the door knocked
and we broke apart..!
"Yes..!"I spoke in my favorite arrogant tone
and Nandini shook her head. The door
opened Simmi and Mohan came inside with
my surprise. Before I could speak anything
Nandini jumped off the bed and run
towards the trolley over which my surprise
was placed. It was CHOCOLATE
GINGERBREAD HOUSE!
"Wow..!"She shouted excitedly looking closer
to the gingerbread and I too got up. I pulled
off a toffee from it and fed her. She really
enjoyed the taste and I smiled. Mohan and
Simmi too were enjoying her excitement..
"You liked it?"I asked staring at her excited
face..
"Aray I loved it..! OMG I always wanted to
have a bread house like this..!"She was
jumping and clapping on her place..!
"See..! Tumhry kehny say pehly he I
knew..!"I said smiling at her and without
caring for servants she flanged in my arms..
"It's so pretty..! Thank you so much..!"She
shouted happily and I hugged her back..
"Mam should I cut a piece for you?"Simmi
asked picking up a bread knife from the
trolley and she broke the hug..
"No no..! Don't cut it..! Phir tou ya toot jye
ga..!"She panicked and stopped Simmi..
"Mam..! Khana hai tou toorna tou pary
ga..!"Simmi reasoned and Nandini shook her
head..
"No no..! Phir I won't eat it..! Ap is ko
refrigerator me rakh do..! Tomorrow I will
show it to all Bhai's..!"And here comes my
typical Nandu..! How can she forget her
beloved ones in her happiness..! Simmi and
Mohan look at me I simply nodded they both
left with the house. She was so happy..! The
thing I like about her the most was her habit
of enjoying each joy to the core..! Before I
could speak more my phone buzzed. An
urgent meeting! Crap!
"What happened?"She asked worriedly and I
look at her helplessly..
"Meeting..! You sleep..! I will be back in two
hours..!"I said lying her on the bed and she
became sad..
"Jana zarori hai?"She asked pouting her lips
and I pecked her pout..
"Yes..! The ambassador who is going to
launch Fab5 once again is leaving tomorrow
so we have to sign the contract urgently..!"I
said patting her head and she sighed..
"What if Dad sends someone again?"She said
staring at my face..! Nandini and her
insecurities!
"He won't I promise..! You are the safest
here!"I assured her and she closed her
eyes..!
"Ap jaoa..! Am sleeping..!"She said cutely
and I smiled..
"Sleep well meri jaan..! I will be back
soon..!"I pecked her forehead and she
without opening her eyes kissed my cheek..!
'My good luck Kiss'..! Then I kept sitting
with her for almost 5 minutes when I felt
her breath even once again I kissed her
forehead and left staring at her
peaceful face..
