Manik's POV

I came to the hall when I saw Alya,Mukti n Dhruv were about to jump on the couch but Wait!! where's Nandini & Cabir !?? I was about to ask them but then
"Aahh!!There,,they are coming while Nandini was giggling,riding on Cabir's back" I smiled at them inwardly but they were at there own world talking,giggling when I faked a cough to get their attention..And I was successful as I saw my baby who jumped down from Cabir's back and came running towards me "TRUST ME THIS GIRL DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO WALK"

"Ok,ok,Relax baby,,I'm here only,,why always jumping & running" I told her caressing her head as she came running towards me & hugged me tight,I reciprocated with equal love.She just smiled and whispered an "I Love You" to which I replied "I love you more baby"

I very well knew why she hurriedly came to me & hugged me tight!! Kyun Ki as  I coughed to get their attention she thought that *I'm feeling like she  ignored me* which I really didn't. I know how much Cabir n Nandini both love eachother but there's nothing I should get jealous about.. Nothing, I would like to repeat that "Nothing is important to Nandini more than me" I know that very well..

POV end

"Aww!!You guys are too cute" Alya awwed them with a genuine smile.

"We know,we're " Before Manik could say Nandini replied looking at a smiling Manik..

Third Person's POV

In these days one thing surely happened that Nandini has become very expressive about her love towards Manik which he admires the most.. & why won't he !?? She is the first one who shows her right on him,who shows the love for him,who shows how important he is for her that too openly infront of the world. May be he's a more than perfectly established business man but The *diamond on his turban is definitely Nandini*.
He admits proudly that his wealth is nothing infront of Nandini's love.He also admits that without Nandini,he is the poorest among the beggars too.

End of POV

"Guys,,look at me for sometime Atleast please,Choti please come to me" Mukti said to Nandini all sad.. This makes Nandini frown.

"Kya huya hai Mukti?? Why are you upset?? Kahi Cabir bhai ney kuch..." She said the last line glaring at Cabir who immediately looked at her & didn't let her complete..

"Bunny,,why do you always think of me whenever Mukti is upset!!?? Nehi matlab main hi kyun fhasta hu batao!! Nahi aj clear karo" Cabir said faking sadness which saddened Nandini a bit too.. (Such a naive girl,,isn't it !!?? Is she really !!?? 🤔 You never know !!🤐)

"No bhai,,I didn't mean that.wohh..." Nandini tried to clarify herself when Manik came beside a sad Nandini taking her in a hug,,glaring at Cabir "Cabir!!!Kyun pareshan kar raha hai meri bachhi ko??"

But being a soul brother Cabir too knows Nandini well "Hey bunny,,stop this antics !! I know you're not sad at all & you're doing this thaaki Manik mujhe mazaa  chakhay"

Nandini peeked from Manik's hug with a mischievous smile which proves that Mr.Dhawan was right.. Nandini is such a naughty child woman !!

"See guys,,again we're being ignored" Mukti again stated.

"Achha Achha now tell me,,Kya huya hai??" This time it's Manik.

"Yaar,while coming we're planning for a vacation" Mukti cleared but still something's left cause she can't be upset about that only !!!??

"Haan,toh isme problem Kya hai??chalte hai Na!!! Waise bhi Nandini Ke vacations suru home hi wale hai,it'll be fun,hai Na baby?" Manik confirmed,asking the last line looking at Nandini to which she grinned like a 5year old getting all excited for her vacation tour!!

"Problem aur kuch Nehi,yeh useless Cabir hai!!" Mukti glared at Cabir while Cabir just shrugged his shoulder like *i-haven't-done-anything* & everyone looked at him suspiciously.

"Ab why are you guys staring at me like this!! I know I'm born handsome,Thanks!!" Cabir said munching the chips Manik had ordered his butlers when he heard they're coming.

"I'm gonna kill this Cabir" saying so Mukti was about to jump on Cabir but by gods ' grace Dhruv hold Mukti..

"Easy hulk,easy" Cabir said.

"Manik I asked him to go to Vizag,,as I heard it's a beautiful place in South India which has Sea & Hills both together,but this moron is again planning to go to Goa but this time I want to be in India,,We've been many.. No!No! Almost every places out of India.. And Choti you're ok with it Na ??" Mukti revealed the real reason behind the drama but she asked the last line winking at Nandini..

Manik noticed this & he kept his mouth shut as he knew it's time for Nandini to get down on the field & she'll come back successfully within the blink of an eye.

Nandini get up from her place mouthing an *1min,I'll be back*to Manik & he nodded with a smile.  Nandini came beside Cabir and sat beside him resting her head on his shoulder & said making pouts "Bhai,,hum Vizag Nehi jaa sakte??Aapko pata hai I wanted to go there for a longgggg time but kabhi huwa hi Nehi !! Paar it's fine agar aap Goa Jana chahte hai toh,,I'll manage" She stopped for a second,looked at Mukti & winked at her,,while Mukti secretly showed her thumbs up.

Being a brother who is head over heals in love with his sister can never let her wishes unfulfilled like,,Nandini doesn't have to manage or adjust ever,,everything will be according to her wish & comfort..

"Nooo... Why u've to manage !!??? You want to go to Vizag Na!??ok,,Manik book our tickets for Vizag,,we're going there only!!! Aur kisine Goa jane ke bareme bola bhi Na toh dekh Lena" Cabir informed kissing Nandini's forehead with a brotherly affection making Everyone's Jaw Dropped !!!

Alya,Dhruv,Mukti,Manik looked at them as if they've seen a ghost!!!

"Wow,,Nandini that's great !!! You did it !!" Dhruv said showing thumbs up to Nandini,to which Nandini showed him a thumbs up too.Cabir was a bit confused.. Manik smiled at Nandini's mischiefs and seeing the concern his friends have for Nandini & the love they've for her..How much important she's to them also.

"Ok then Vizag is final,,yaayeeeiii " Mukti was the most happiest one.

"So,now we need to do shopping" and here comes Ever enthusiast shopaholic Alya..

"Not again" Everyone said in unison palming their face..

Alya looked at them all confused "Whatever" ,,Alya rolled her eyes..

"Ok.So,the plan is we'll have lunch here and then we'll leave for shopping, and for now let's have some breakfast as Nandini left her breakfast in the middle(Nandini frowned but Manik ignored😜) & I know you guys didn't have yours too,,So move your bums"  and Manik made a clear plan.

"Yeah Mahn!! Am damn hungry,,let's have something" For a change its Mukti instead of Cabir !!!

"Huuh!! Main toh aaywain baadnam hu" Cabir rolled his eyes & got a punch from Alya "Stop teasing her Cabir".

After a dramatic chat session all headed towards the dining.When Navya too joined them a long phone call session with her Mom.
________________

After their breakfast everyone took their respective rooms just to rest before starting an hectic day..

In Manan's Room-

"Baby,Are you ok with that Vizag thing or you want to go to some other place,you know Na we'll go wherever you want !!!" Manik said to Nandini as they were lying on their bed cozily..

Nandini kissed on his heart and explained "Am more than ok with it as long as you're there with me,,and About the place!! Mukti bohot excited hai to visit that place Mani,,So we shouldn't ignore her naa !!"

Manik made her look at himself and said after kissing her forehead "Nothing & no one matters to me when it comes to you,you know that right!!!"

"I know Mani & trust me I,myself wants to go there,, Mukti was showing me some pictures of Vizag,it's beautiful Mani"  Nandini clear Manik's doubt & excitement was visible in her eyes.

"And u know what i Love You A Little More When You Call Me Mani"  He said coming dangerously close to her face when she bite her lip to suppress her shyness to which Manik groaned "Don't do that Nandini, you know the consequences"

Nandini came more close to his face and muttered against his lips "And I would love to face the consequences Mr.Hotshot" making it more difficult for him to hold back his desires.

He smirked on her boldness cause it's very rare when a shy Nandini shows her boldness,,It's a treat to watch & enjoy for Manik..After all he is also a man !! But he never crossed his limits not because he doesn't find her matured enough but because his love for her is something more than being physical..Sometimes their passion grew so much that It was Nandini who asked for it but Manik very tactfully handled her without letting her down..

"Aahan!!!Playing naughty !!?? Looks like someone is being desperate n all"  Manik said smirkingly.

"And Don't you think you talk too much sometimes" Without giving a second thought & without giving time for Manik to speak she fussed her lips with Manik's.. It was clear that right now she wanted him a little more,,that was so sudden that it took some seconds for Manik to match her,,but Nandini bite his lips to which Manik smilingly groaned between the kiss and let her take the lead..

It's not that Nandini is being desperate,,because her love for him is also something more than being desperate.Its happens when she fails to express her love for her man in words,,and she learned from Manik that "Action speaks louder than words"

After what seems like ages they broke apart gasping for air,,while Manik kept on rubbing her back to make her breathing normal and She hide her face in the crook of his neck..

________________________

They all gathered in the hall after their lunch all set to go for shopping as the boys knew that it's gonna be one longgggg evening after all it's girl's shopping..

But Manik being Manik he never gets annoyed with shopping as he loves to shop for Nandini!! And Nandini never stops him seeing the amount of happiness in his eyes whenever he shops for her. To Nandini,her Shopping means sitting somewhere munching on chocolates or chips or ice creams and watching Manik,,running one counter to another to get the best clothes & accessories  for his Princess.And coming to her every now n then to steal some pecks & kisses and to ask whether she's ok or not or if needs something or not ... And she loves this side of Manik too,,she enjoys being treated like a princess *She's a girl afterall* Manik asked many times if she wants to select something by herself but she refused saying He has the best choice, and he knows things better than her. Manik never compromised with Nandini's clothes and accessories too cause it's about her comfort.. Manik orders Nandini's every piece of cloth from the best places of the world after the incident..

Flashback

They're shopping at some place as they've a party to attend when Nandini liked a dress and she was adamant to buy that one but Manik didn't want her to buy that dress from that particular shop as The store was new and he wasn't aware of the materials they uses for their clothes..

"No,no,no I want this only Manik" she cleared herself.

"Baby please,,give me some hours I'll get you the same dress from our designer but not this one honey" Manik tried to pacify her but she wasn't in mood and she liked that only.

"Nehi Manik,,kuch ni hota,, please mujhe yeh dilado" She tried another way.

"Manik it's ok,,if she wants let her buy it..Nothing will happen,, Aur Nandini!! bachha pehen ney k baad kuch bhi uneasy feel Ho toh u'll say immediately ok??!!" Cabir said to both them and winked at Manik & Manik unwantedly bought that dress.

They came back home and went to get ready as the party was at 9pm..

Nandini was looking pretty in that dress but Manik wasn't satisfied he asked her every second whether she's fine or not .. And Nandini patiently answered all his questions.. It was around 11pm when Manik noticed that Nandini's shoulder and hands were getting red and her eyes were moist... He immediately went to her who was sitting on a couch..

"Baby,,what happened!!?? See your should and hands are getting red!! Bachha please tell me what's bothering" He said helplessly seeing his life in pain..

"Mani,,it's itching and aise laag raha hai my skin is burning" Nandini could speak hardly as her chin wobbled,her cheeks are wet with the tears.

Seeing her suffering from any damn thing makes Manik vulnerable,,Her tears stabs his heart.

After doing something in his phone which took even less that a *nano-second* He immediately engulfed her in his arm and rushed to one of the room,checking the room's safety he made her sit on the bed "Bass bachha,,just a second,,Cabir ...." He couldn't complete as the door knob unlocked.

"Manik this.. Nandini,,bunny don't cry honeypie,,See,,we've got your clothes" Cabir was saying something handling the packet while he saw Nandini crying ,he rushed to her & patted her head trying to comfort her but that irritation in her skin was making it difficult for her to even breathe...

"Maniiii..." She cried.

Nothing & no one can comfort her other than Manik.. He is her magician,,she believes that Manik can do anything,,He can subside her pains,sorrows everything with his magics!!

"Baby,,no,no crying.. We'll change your clothes first then we'll go to the doctor,, Don't hold back,,breathe bachha breathe,I got you..Sshh,Sshh,We're ok" Manik make her stand up holding her properly while Cabir left the room and stand with the Alya,Dhruv and Mukti outside.

Manik make Nandini change her clothes who just for a precaution bought her clothes. He scooped her in his arms and rushed towards their car followed by fab4..They reached hospital and got Nandini treated..From then neither Nandini cribbed for any dresses nor Manik let her do so..And the most important thing "That shop was shut from the next day itself".. Manik Malhotra never compromises!!!
