"Choti jo bolna hai bol bhi dey aisey don't stare at us" At last getting enough glares and stares finally one of them could speak in front of a angry Nandini.

"Haa Nandu,,it's scary you know.." Alya too seconded now.

"Will you do the honour to tell me what you guys did to that girl??" Nandini who was standing infront of the huge couch where Fab4 & Navya were sitting.

"Nothing that sort of what you're thinking,,We just accidentally burnt some of her scalp portion,,Navya gave a hot pedicure,Alya applied some chilli paste on her and I chopped her hairs a little..Trust me it was fun Choti!!! You should have seen her face,,we are soo......" Mukti said happily who was imagining the scenes of Anita suffering just when a loud roar stopped her,making everyone at least shriek a little.

"Stop it Mukti !!!!" Nandini shouted on top of her voice and Manik,who was standing just beside her looked at her horrified.

"How can you be so cruel guys!!! She is a girl for gods sake.. Revenge is always not needed,,I know you guys love me beyond anything but that doesn't mean you will harm anyone for me.Aap log usse baat bhi kar sakte the Lekin Nahi fab5 has to be impulsive Aur Navya I didn't expect this from you" Nandini said to everyone while everyone have their head down.

"Bunny,,may be this is you and that's why we acted like this but it could have happened to anyone,,this kinda girls are may be depressed or what I don't know but someone has to take a stand against it... It was her job to made you ready,,may be you were liking what she was doing to your make up and being an innocent you said that to her everytime but that doesn't mean she will hurt you like this.If we all started acting like it's ok everytime then these kinda people will get the upper hand" Cabir said clearly making her understand while Manik was a silent spectator.

"Yes Nandini and trust she is so desperate that even after bearing all these,she still was abusing" Dhruv said this time and Manik stiffened hearing him.

"You guys did a good job and that's it" Manik said gritting his teeth when Nandini glared at him.

"You're right bhai but the way you guys treated her wasn't right that's it" Nandini was stick to her statement.

"Ok let it be,,the more discussion,the more arguments..Lets eat something" Manik said while Nandini too left the matter as she knows these possessive heads won't ever listen.

Everyone except Manik hugged,kissed and said sorry to Nandini for making her angry but not for what they did.

_____________

"Why can't I have what they are having !!! I am all cured Nandini,,look at me !!!" Manik was cribbing not to have the food infront of him which is the most tasteless food on earth.

"Mukti can you pass me the plate of roasted chicken please" Cabir suddenly started asking for food which he never does as he is the believer of Grab it and have it.

Cabir's drama didn't get unnoticed by Nandini who was having hard time feeding Manik.

"Will you please stop your drama bhai!!! and Manik for god sake please have it yaa!!! You are making me hell angry" Nandini said pulling her hairs to which Manik made pout with crunched nose looking at her.

Everyone behaved afterwards as they are getting the situation that Nandini never have done all these alone.Handling Manik,Fab5 and herself together isn't her job. She was a kid to them who pampered her with anything and everything.She never had to handle even herself after having them in their life but now all of a sudden acting all mature,handling everything is a bit tough for her,not that she's complaining,it's just that it takes time to adjust.

"Baby aren't getting you tired of my tantrums" Manik asked Nandini as they are having their time in their room while others went to take a nap.

"I can never ever get tired of anything related to you Mani..But what made you think that??" Nandini asked tilting her head to face him as she was half lying on Manik,sitting between the space of his legs.

"Nothing,,just like that!! Manik said kissing her temple.

"Do you get tired of my tantrums Manik??" Nandini too asked. Clever one!!

"Your tantrums,your demands,your every little gesture keeps me sane Nandini. Your tantrums makes me feel like I am yours only,it makes me feel like worthy enough.You can never annoy me.Anyone will laugh on me if I say this but it's the truth that agar tum mujhse demand or tantrums na dikhao toh it makes feel unworthy" Manik said looking at particularly nowhere.

"It's exciting when you find parts of yourself in someone else"

"And you know why I asked you this??" Nandini said smiling ear to ear to which Manik said "You wanted me to give my question's answer on behalf of you."

Nandin's jaw dropped "You can't know everything about me,,Nopeeee" Nandini said nodded her head frantically stressing the E.

"And guess what I already know you" Manik chuckled.

After muttering sweet nothings and everything for a good long time Nandini asked "Manik,,I want to learn singing"

Manik looked at her with a big amusing grin on his face and said "Whenever you want to love"

"If I say now!!?? Will you..."

"Stay still,I will be back" saying this Manik almost ran out of the room ordering her stay inside only.

Seeing him so happy Nandini said "I won't run away anywhere,,slow down Manik"

"Even if you want you won't be able to" She heard his faint voice coming from a little away and muttered "I never ever want to in my life"

Nandini went to the balcony with a mattress and a blanket in her either hands. She spread the mattress and blanket too and again went inside to bring some candles.She placed them around their mattress and took the roses from vase and plucked the petals carefully yet fast and spread some around the candles and some on the mattress.A romantic atmosphere eehh!!

She lightened the last candle when Manik entered facing Nandini's back with the guitar just to get surprised,,his eyes were shinning,a sweet charming smile was playing on the corners of his lips.

"The best feeling of happiness is when you're happy because you've made somebody else happy"
-Unknown

He went near her,nuzzled his nose in her hairs taking her in a back hug "How you managed all this within 10min"

It was getting hard for her to breath like a normal human being as his lips were doing their work making her inside churn.She was numb,feeling his effect on her,he sucked her earlobe making her gasp audibly "tell me Nandini,how you managed ??"

Nandini clasped his hand on her tummy for support and mumbled "I..I.i ju..just used things wh..which were in the room Mani"

"You want me to drop the idea of teaching you singing now??" Manik asked sucking the valley between her neck and shoulder.

Her legs were becoming the smoothest jelly,she pushed herself more into Manik's chest and nodded in negative.

Manik smiles at her and takes her to the mattress and made her seat on it.He himself sat beside her and takes her in his embrace,spread the blanket over them and adjusted the guitar.

Candles,Rose petals all around,Cool Breeze,Blanket,Guitar and the love of your life.Do you need something else!!??

Manik strummed his guitar playing a soothing tune which bought a smile on Nandini's face

Is Lamhe Ko Rok Dooo..
Ya Main Khud Ko Iss Mein Jhonk Dooo..
Kya Karoon, Kya Karoon, Kya Karoon..
Is Lamhe Main Kuchh Bhi Jaanu Na..

Manik made Nandini hold the guitar and again played a tune by Nandini's fingers.

Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Ban Gaye, Silsile..
Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Ban Gaye, Silsile..

This time Nandini sang immediately placing her back of the head on Manik's shoulder.

Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
O Sud-Budh Khoyi, Hai Khoyi Maine..
Haan Jaan Gavayi, Gavayi Hai Maine..
Haan Tujhko Basaya Hai Dhadkan Mein..
O Saawre..

Manik sang those lines again as if saying the feeling are mutual.

O Sud-Budh Khoyi, Hai Khoyi Maine..
Haan Jaan Gavayi, Gavayi Hai Maine..
Haan Tujhko Basaya Hai Dhadkan Mein..
Saawre..

And he continued while Nandini titled her head to intake the charm of his features-

Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Ban Gaye, Silsile..

Nandini tried to play the tune but fumbled just then Manik again places his long,expert finger on her tiny ones to make the tune perfect.....
And Manik sang-

Khud Ko Khokar Tujhko Paya
Is Tarah Se Mujhko Jeena Aaya..

Nandini pouted looking at him When he didn't give her chance to sing as she wanted to convey her feelings through it,Manik chilled and gestured her to sing,which she did happily

Khud Ko Khokar Tujhko Paya
Is Tarah Se Mujhko Jeena Aaya..
Teri Lagan Mein Sab Hai Gavayaa..
Is Tarah Se Mujhko Jeena Aaya..
Teri Hansee Meri Khushi..
Meri Khushi Tu Hi..

Finishing above lines,She opened her eyes just meet those hazel orbs which were glassy now,The intensity her voice have and the amount of emotion she put in her voice made his eyes watery.How can someone love so much!!!

Nandini kissed his eyes and both sang together-

Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Tose Naina Jab Se Mile..
Ban Gaye, Silsile..

Manik hugged her after finishing the song when she stayed glued to him as promised.Time literally stopped for them.Sometimes words are not mandatory when your heart can talk,,eyes can communicate.And these two creation of God are a pro at it.🖇
