"Manik , Nandani dinner k liye aa jao!" We heard di's yell from downstairs and our moment broke.

After pecking my stomach once more Manik pulled my shirt down and stood up.

Before he could speak something his phone rang.

"I'll be back !" He kissed my cheek hastily and went out while receiving call.

I sat down on the bed and a  smile appeared on my lips.

Unknowingly my hand crawled down and I caressed my stomach.

Manik's child is growing in me Bhagwaan ji! Ab sab aap k hath main hai! Aap hamari manzilein aasaan kardo! Jo gustaakhiyaan hum kar chuke,aur jo ab hum kar jayein ge un par aap parda daal dena! Humein ek kar dena Bhagwaan ji ! Hamesha k liye!

Sighing I wiped my teary eyes and looked down at my tummy.

"Mera bacha!" A tear of felicity fell from my eye as I rotated my palm on my stomach.

"Nandani !"

The sudden voice startled me and I looked towards the door where Di was standing with an adorable smile on her face.

"Di ! I was just coming !" I wiped my tears hastily and stood up from the bed when she came towards me and made me sit again.

Kneeling infront of me she held my palms on my laps and I lowered my teary eyes.

I was so scared !

"Nandani ! Aap ro rahi hain?" She nudged my chin up and tears fell more rapidly from my eyes.

"Di...!" I cried and she chuckled while pulling me in a hug.

"Di! Jab sab ko pata chalega tab Kia hoga! Mm...maa..maaa tou mughse naaraaz hojaengi Di ! Wo mughe kabhi maaf nhi karengi!" I cried and Di traced my hair to calm me down.

"Aesa kuch nhi hoga! Bua maa kia apni phool si beti se kabhi naraaz ho sakti hain kia!"
She spoke lovingly and broke the hug.

I sniffed and she wiped my tears.

"Hum mante hain jo hua hai wo nhi hona chahiye tha lekin aap aur Manik jante thori hain k aap dono ki qismat main kiya likha hai! Shayad ye bacha aap dono ko ek karne hi aya ho! Ab ishq kia hai tou nibhana tou parega na !" She made me understand so lovingly. I held her palm which was caressing my cheek.

"Thankyou di! For being with us!Agar aap na hoti tou pta nhi kia hota hamara!" I smiled in gratitude while holding her palm and she chuckled while shaking her head.

"Main thi tou Ye sab kar liya aap dono ne agar main na hoti tou pta nhi kia karte aap donu!" She teased me while eyeing my stomach and I lowered my head shyly.

Ab Kia bolun Di kasoor tou apke bhai ka hai!Khud tou pregnant hai aur mughe bhi kardia!

"Bas Ye iske papa,mere badmaash bhai par na chla jaye!" Di spoke notoriously and I blushed more listening the word 'papa'.

"Nhi Di ! Agar Ye Manik jesa nhi bhi hoga na tou bhi Manik ise apne jesa badmaash bna hi lega!" I giggled and Di laughed.

"Aap ko pta hai Nandani! Jab Manik chote the na tou wo aur bhi badmaash the!He didn't like to wear diapers!Poore ghar main  aese hi bina kapro k bhagte the aur Jab tak hum ise pakar pate Ye apna kaam kar chuke hote the!" Di spoke while laughing and I bursted out after listening her.

That's why he can't wear clothes for too long ! Tabhi one piece main sota hai Ye monster !

"Phir tou main apne bache par Manik ka saaya bhi nhi parne dungi!" I laughed and Di pulled my cheek adorably.

"Bhagwaan aap dono ko hamesha khush rakhe!" Di bussed my forehead and stood up.

"It's getting late ! Come we should have our dinner now!"She spoke and I stood up from the bed while holding her hand.

We turned towards the door and our eyes went wide.

Pregnant Monster!

I looked towards Di while gulping and she eyed me with same anxiety too.

Manik was standing there leaning on the door frame with his legs crossed and arms wrapped.His facial features weren't so pleased.

Suddenly Di left my palm making my wide eyes more wide.

"Di!" I stammered in fear as I found her moving towards the door.

Manik's stern face was scaring shit out of us,no doubt!

Di took baby steps towards the door while Manik continued to look at her with emotionless eyes.As soon as she reached door she ran from there.

"Arey Di !" I squealed in fear while raising my arm towards the door when
Manik turned his eyes furious eyes towards me.I immediately pulled my arm back.

After chanting Bhagwaan ji's name like umpteenth time I started walking towards the door with slow steps.

Bhagwaan ji ! Save me ! Save me !

With squeezed eyes I prayed and was about to cross past him when I felt five fingers wrapping around my tiny wrist,firmly.

Before my chest could shudder I was spun around and was in his arms.

My lips touched his t-shirt over heart and I felt his palms clutching my waist more strongly.

"Main badmaashi dikhaon tumhe?"He bent down and whispered-gritted in my ear while jerking me more closer.

I opened my closed eyes only to meet his chafed eyes. He was still bending down near my face.His hot breaths pierced my plump lips and I clutched his waist tight from the either sides.

"Abhi tou maine badmaashi ki hi nhi hai!" He spoke hoarsely and pressed his lips on mine making my eyes wide.

Before I could realise he clutched my hips and wrapped my thighs around his waist.

Amidst the kiss he moved inside the room and sandwiched me between him and the wall which was beside the door.

While kissing him I wrapped my arms around his neck as he deepened the kiss more.His hands cupped my cheeks roughly as he bit my lips together making me wince in his mouth.Leaving my lips he pushed his tongue in my mouth and sucked my tongue mercilessly.Before I could protest he started kissing my lips again.His saliva trickled down my chin and I pushed his chest in the need of air but he wasn't in the mood to leave my lips.

"M...aanih..hhk !"I gasped amidst the kiss and finally he left my lips.

He looked at me while breathing heavily and I stared at him with my half open eyes.My chest rose and fell as I took deep breaths.

He unwrapped my thighs and moved back while wiping his drenched chin and lips with the back of his palm۔

"Ise-kehte hain bad-maa-shi!" He pointed at my torn swollen lips.His voice was still ragged as he wasn't breathing normal.

Breathing heavily I looked down.Manik took steps towards me and a soft pink colour enhanced my cheeks.

His finger removed my bangs from my face when I pushed his fingers and hugged him making him chortle.

"You are blushing haan!"He teased while hugging me more tightly and I buried my face more in his chest.

"And don't worry ! I'll talk to bua maa ! Wo maan jayengi tum pareshaan mat ho! Main sab se baat kar lunga aaj!"He kissed my hair and I broke the hug.

"Nhi ! We won't tell anyone about the child ! Abhi nhi !" I spoke frantically and he looked at me with perplexed eyes.

"Gol-gappi! You know we can't hide it ! Kabhi na kabhi tou btana haina then why not today !"He spoke softly while cupping my cheeks but I moved my head horizontally.

"Nhi Manik ! Abhi nhi !"I was about to get in tears when he spoke,

"Acha relax! Hum abhi nhi btayenge!" He fondled my cheeks and kissed my forehead lovingly.

"Manik Nandani ! Do you guys want to have dinner or not ?" Di's yell made us chuckle.

"Coming Di !"Manik yelled back and then held my palm.

Smilingly we descended down the stairs with tangled palms.

Di looked at us with raised brows and I jerked Manik's hand before going towards her.

"I'm very hungry Di! Kia bnaya hai apne?"I spoke without making an eye lock with her and sat on the dining chair.

"Haan haan ! I know how much hungry you both are !" She spoke while eyeing Manik and me simultaneously.

I dug my face in the plate being embarrassed while Manik scratched his nape nervously.

She laughed seeing our red faces.

"Arey main bhi is daur se guzar chuki hn ! Naya naya pyaar,meethi meethi baatein!Hayee bara maza ata hai!" She spoke dreamily while joining her palms beneath her chin and I smiled at her cuteness while dishing out chicken biryani from the platter.

"Wese Di wapis kab ja rahe ho aap?"Manik spoke casually while pulling the chair infront of me and Di stood there with open mouth.

"How mean Manik ! Apna kaam hogya tou ab tum hamein nikal rahe ho !"She pulled Manik's ear and Manik  laughed.

"Ahhh ! Di ! I was kidding !" He shrieked and I giggled while munching on my food.

They both giggled too and we ate our dinner while talking randomly.

Post dinner.I was making myself a cup of green tea when Di who was cutting apple on the request of Manik spoke,

"Wese Nandani I think now a days you'll be needing lip balm frequently!" She laughed and Manik who just entered into the kitchen to take his apples immediately went out after listening her words.

I licked my dry lips and tried to control my blush.

"Sorry !" She laughed loudly seeing my red face and went out taking sliced apples with her.

Dunya main aur kahin nhi milenge aap ko aese bhai behen ! Bhagwaan ji aap hi bachao in dono se!

Taking my green tea I moved out when maa,mami ji and mama ji entered in the house.

"Welcome back pretty ladies !" Manik shouted with a smile while eating apples,watching tv in the lounge.

They both chuckled at him and settled on the couch while mama ji went into the room. 

I sat on another Chester field and sipped on my green tea.

"Did you guys have your dinner?"Maa asked eyeing all of us and Di who was sitting beside Manik,munching a slice of apple nodded.

Mami ji sighed and spoke,

"Now go and sleep its 12 !" She stood up from the couch while trying to unhook her necklace.

"Wait mom ! I'll help !" Shraddha di spoke while keeping empty plate on the table and they both went towards Mami ji's room.

"Goodnight bua maa ! Good night gol-gappi!" Manik smiled at maa and then winked at me while standing up from the couch.

"Good night beta!" Maa spoke sweetly and I smiled at him.He switched off the tv and went towards his room.

I looked at maa with a smile and after keeping the empty cup on the table in between I walked towards her and sat beside her.

I laid my head on her lap suddenly and she smiled while caressing my hair.

"What happened ?" She asked softly.

"Nothing maa!" I choked as I tried hard to drink my tears.

"See I forgot to tell Wo Kamini ji ka phone aya tha! She has invited you for lunch at her place tomorrow!" Maa spoke nonchalantly and I sat straight with a jerk.

"But why maa ?"

"What why Nandani ? They are your in laws aur wo apni bahu ko Kia apne ghar nhi bula sakte!" Maa gave me a look and I bit my lip nervously.

Manik won't like it ! Ab tou wo bilkul bardaasht nhi karega!

"But maa you know na how sick I'm feeling these days!" I spoke while coughing and maa gave me a stern look.

"You are going Nandani ! No more excuses ! Now go and sleep !" Maa spoke strictly and stood up from the couch.

Kia karoon? What if Manik comes to know about it ! No no ! I won't tell him ! Aur Wese bhi wo office main hoga , main uske ane se pehle ghar aa jaongi! Hmm ! It's right !

"Ab chal! Bethi Kia hai !" Maa glared at me while climbing stairs and I nodded at her with a jerk.

I moved towards the stairs when my eyes fell on Manik's room.

Has he slept ?

I glanced at maa before peeping inside his room only to find it pitch black.

Lagta hai so gya! Chlo Acha hai !

Sighing I closed his room door and turned towards the stairs only to gulp as maa was standing there with crossed arms.

"Mere bete ko bhi bigar de tu! Uski maa ne ek baar kaha aur wo sone chla gaya aur ek tu hai jo yahan wahan rooh ki tarah bhatak rahi hai!" She scolded me and i made a bad face while ascending the stairs.

She went in her room and I opened my room only to shriek,

"TUM ?" I shouted at Manik who was sitting on my bed in just his baby pink boxers and black vest.

"Ssssshhh!" He widened his eyes while running towards me and immediately closed the door. 

"Why are you shouting ? Stupid !" He whispered angrily while palming my lips when I jerked him away.

Aur maa iss ko shareef samaghti hain!

"Manik ! What are you doing here ? Just get out !" I spoke straightly while pointing at the door when he took a step towards.

"Chla jaunga! Itni bhi Kia jaldi hai !" He pulled me by my waist and I glared at him.

"Manik ! Leave me ! Koi aa jayega!"I tried to push his arms when he jerked me more closer.

"It's been days you met Armaan na!" He spoke while tightening his grip around my waist and I stopped struggling.

I looked towards him with a little scared eyes and he jerked me more closer.

"Manik ! Please understand ! It's imp..."Before I could complete he hissed,

"Tum nhi jaogi!"

That's why I didn't  want him to know !

Before I could say something my cell rang which was in my hand.

Armaan!
