Manik's POV
I was shocked. She said MY..! Like seriously..! Kehty hain Sharab kay nashy main insaan sach bolta hai..! That means her heart had accepted me as her..! Now she was asking me am I hers or not?
"Nandini..! Let's go..!"Once again I tried to drag her with me.
"Manik..! Your employees really don't have manners..!"Soha shouted and I gave a pleading look to Cabir.
"Oye..! Ab tm mjy manners sikhaoa ge..!"Nandini shouted and was about to pounced upon Soha when I held her waist from back. "Leave me Sir..!"She again shouted but I picked her up and walked out gesturing Cabir to handle everything. Nandini was constantly struggling to free herself from my grip but I didn't left her.
"Leave me na..!"She again protested.
"And why would I do so?"I asked angrily.
"Because I am telling you to do so..!"She said making a cute pout and I sighed. Then we reached my Car and I with lots of difficulty almost STUFFED her in my Car as party was over for me.
"Let me go..!"She once again shouted as soon as I started the Car.
"Why you want me to let you go?" I asked in a serious tone.
"Mjy Soha say baat karni hai..!"She said angrily.
"Kya baat krni hai?"I asked laughingly as now I was enjoying her cute antics.
"Girls talk..!"She said nodding her head in a serious tone and I very well knew what was her GIRLS TALK..! She will surely pull Soha's hair...! Her behavior was clearly indicating she also feels for me and I was also accepting it slowly. I knew now Khurana will surely cancel the deal but who care hahaha..!
"STOP THE CAR..!"Nandini's shout broke the chain of my thoughts and I unintentionally stopped the car and that was the biggest mistake of the day because Nandini without giving me time to react run out of the Car.
"Nandini stop..!"I shouted as I too run behind her. She climbed a bench as I reached her. "Come down..!"I shouted angrily.
"No..! You can't order me..!"She said showing me her tiny winy finger.
"Why? I am your boss..!"I said angrily and she laughed.
"But office hours are over..! You can only order me in office..!"She said naughtily and I wanted to bang my head in wall on her stupid logic.
"Ok..! Abhi bus ho gya..! Come down..!"I said politely as I noticed my anger will not affect her.
"No..! First you have to accept my two conditions?"She said showing me her two fingers.
"And what are those two conditions?"I said totally enjoying her cute cute antics. Her long silky hair were disturbing her eyes..! She was stumbling on the bench and I was covering her all the time.
"Condition No 1...! you have to promise me that you will never ever talk to Soha?"She said showing me her finger and I had no choice unless to accept her condition.
"Ok Madam..! I agree..!"I said suppressing my smile.
"Really? You will not talk to her?"She asked as excited as a kid.
"Absolutely..!"I said in a hell serious tone. I was playing along. For the first time I was liking such a waste of time..! No one will believe that THE MANIK MALHOTRA was wasting his precious time with a drunk girl and was agreeing to her conditions..! But nobody knows that the drunk girl in front of me was my everything now bus mjy accpet krna baki tha..!
"Wow..! Thank you..!"She clapped excitedly and jumped on the bench. "OK second condition..!"She said in a serious tone.
"Ap ko meri tareef karna ho ge..! Ek dam filmy style main..!"She demanded and I was taken aback for a second. I don't know how to praise a girl..! Kahan phas gya yaar?
"I can't do this..!"I said scratching my head in confusion.
"Then I will not go home..!"She said angrily. "Kya Sir? Itna bara business chalaty hain aik larki ki tareef nahi kar skty..!"She mocked me and that was it for me. I pulled her towards me and look in her eyes. She smilingly blinked her eyes and I was lost.
"You are looking so beautiful Nandini..! So much beautiful.! Itne khobsorat kay mjy dar hai kahen tmhy meri he nazar na lag jye..!"I said softly brushing her bang away and she was also lost. She smiled and leaned forward her next move was enough to took my breath away..! She kissed me on my right cheek.
"Thank you..! Ap bohat achy ho..!"She confessed with a pure eye contact. "You know you are the only one in this whole world to whom I think is mine..! My own parents threw me away..! Boojh the main un par..! Tabhi choor diya mjy..! Ya shaid bohat tang krti hoon ge islye choor diya..! Main ap ko bhi bht tang karti hoon na..! Ap bhi mjy job say nikaal do gay?"Her words really had something which left me bewildered I noticed something wet on my cheeks..! TEARS..! I was crying on the pain of the small doll infront of me who was also crying..! She too had a storm inside her just like me..! She too was fighting with the world alone just like me..! Our conditions were same..! But the difference was she was so much expressive..! She had the guts to explain her inner turmoils..! I think it was her strong point..! At least she can let it all out..! But I was a coward..! I didn't had the courage to accept it..! I didn't had the courage to express myself..!
"Boliye na Sir? Ap bhi mjy job say nikaal day gay?"She shook my shoulder and I came out of my thoughts.
"No Nandini..! I will never ever let you go..!"I said with so much purity and she banged in my chest. She once again started crying like a two year old and I wrapped my arms around her tiny,fragile figure.
"Sir..! Ap please mery sath rehna..! Please..!"She said between her sobs and I closed my eyes to control myself.
"I am with you Nandini stop crying..!"I said softly and rubbed her back,caressed her hair to console her. She look at me with teary eyes and I smiled. She too smiled. "Acha chocolate khani hai?"Iasked to cheer her up and she bobbed her head in a yes. "Then let's go..!"With that I dragged her with me towards my Car. I can't take her to the orphanage because I know her Maa will start freaking out so I decided her to take her with at my home. I called Cabir and told him about my plan he too agreed. I drove towards my home and the whole way Nandini's non stop chatter box was on. Soon we reached home.
"We are home..!"I told her and helped her to come out. She took off her heels and held them in her hands. She look at my home carefully and then she look at me.
"How come my orphanage turned into a villa?"She asked me hell confused and I smiled.
"Nandini..! It's my house..! Not yours..! Now come..!"I told her and she blinked her eyes. With that she started walking with me and opened the door for her. I turned on all the lights and she look at my house with wide eyes. Maybe for the first time she had seen such a big house I smiled on her amazement.
"Sir..!"She said stretching the word and I look at her."Ap ka ghar tou bohaaatt bala(bara) hai..! It's so big..!"She said excitedly and threw her heels on the floor. I laughed on her word "bala" she was so cute. "Aquarium..!"She shouted excitedly and run towards the fish aquarium which was placed in the corner of the lounge. I smilingly followed her. She pressed her nose with the glass wall of the aquarium and tapped her finger on the glass to distract fish.
"You liked it?"I asked looking at her smilingly.
"I loved it..! I always wish for an aquarium in my house..! But I tou have no house of my own..!"She suddenly became sad and I became worried.
"Acha acha..! You want to eat chocolate na..! Come..!"I said and dragged her to my kitchen. Then I get those chocolate halves from my fridge which she gave me.
"Here..! Eat these..!"I said to her and she smilingly started eating. During all her eating session I was admiring her. After sometime she was done with her chocolate eating and suddenly I noticed a small drop of chocolate on her lower lip. Don't know from where the urge of sucking that droplet curved in my heart she herself moved closer to me and I gently grabbed her waist. She tiptoed and lean forward I without any intention too leaned forward. I bent more and more until I was so close to her lips. She closed her eyes and I did the same. I gently sucked the drop from her lower lip and that time I realized how much tasty a chocolate is.
After sucking the drop I was about to pull away when Nandini's hands traveled in my hair and she didn't allowed me to broke the kiss. I kissed her gently although my mind was alarming me that it was not right but my heart was pushing me more and more to complete my crazy action. Nandini almost dug her nails in my hair and pressed her waist tightly. We broke away gasping for air and suddenly my mind hit the reality and felt ashamed. I took advantage of Nandini's condition..! What the hell I had done.! I look at Nandini she was smiling..!
"Don't feel regret..! I trust you..!"She whispered and I was shocked how come she know that I was regretting. She gently placed her head on my chest and closed her eyes. She was falling asleep and gently picked her up in my arms and walked towards mt bedroom. I don't know what will gonna happen tomorrow but I know..! When she will come to know what we shared just a moment ago..! She will leave me..! She will slap me..! I will lose her for forever..! I wanted to kill myself..!I gently placed her on my bed and took off her jewelry and headband. I was about to move away when she held my hand.
"Don't leave me..!"She whispered and I wanted to move away but I couldn't. I took off my shoes and coat and laid beside her. She placed her head on my chest and dozed off. She will hate me for taking advantage of her..! I was in a real bad trauma how the hell I lost my control..! Nandini's ayiapa..! Please make everything go well..! I silently prayed and wrapped my arms around her. Then I again unintentionally kissed her hair and closed my eyes. Tomorrow morning will be a disaster for her..! I thought..!
