M A N I K

Fuck.

Fuck. Fuck.

Triple Fuck.

Infinite fucks.

The smile on her face didn't end as she looked down, the red hue on her cheeks making her face look naturally blushing as she walked down the aisle with a bouquet of tulips in her hand.

The white gown fitted her as if it was made for her measurements, showing her sexy curves and flawless skin. I couldn't get my eyes off her as she walked down gorgeously.

*ahem ahem*

"Kya hai Cabir!" I gritted my teeth. Can he ever let me admire my beautiful lady without interrupting my romance?

"Saale shaadi meri hai, stop staring my wife's bride maid like a typical road side Romeo!" He snapped and I rolled my eyes at him.

"She's my girlfriend dude! Mein usse dekhu, usse jhagda karu, usse kiss karu! Tera kya jaa raha hai?", I mocked at him, closing the button of my tuxedo.

"Tere! Tere hi jaise ladko ke vajah se India aage nahi badti! Tum samajhte ho girlfriend hai toh tum kuch bhi kar sakte ho! But my dear friend, you are wrong. She is an individual and you can't dominate her-.....", he said making me understand and I wanted to punch him right at his face.

"Cabirrr!" I gritted my teeth, "I don't want the news headlines to be Cabir Dhawan died on his marriage, leaving Navya Naveli a widow bride!" I said fake smiling and he pretended to be scared.

"Ek last chance hai tere paas, bhaagna hai kya? This is your last bail dude, uske baad to shaadi ke jail mein hoga and no one can save you!" I said and he smiled dreamily.

By that time, Navya and her bridesmaids including my gorgeous girlfriend had walked to us. Navya went and stood near Cabir and I whispered in his ears, "teri shaamat aa gayi hai bache!" And he royally ignored me.

"Isse pyaar kehte hai!" He said winking at me as he suddenly pushed me away and I stumbled before almost falling over Nandini.

"You.. you look gorgeous!" I whispered in her ears huskily and she smiled her contagious smile as she herself tucked a few lose hair strands behind her ear.

"Thank you Manik! Tum bhi kuch kam nahi lag rahe!" She smiled and I put my hand around her waist.

"Manik! Tum-... Tum kya kar rahe ho!" She said slowly looking here and there and I smirked.

"Apni girlfriend ke saath romance. Dikh nahi raha tumhe?" I said innocently and her eyes widened.

"Manik! Manik koi dekh lega!" She pleaded with her eyes.

"Dekhne do!" I said in my 'as if I care' attitude and she looked pissed.

"Oh hi Aryamman!" She suddenly whisper shouted and my hands immediately left her waist as I stood there numb in attention, searching here and there for that Ga- Aryamman.

Not finding him around, I looked at Nandini with a killer look and she laughed like a maniac.

"Tum! Tum abhi ruko!" I threatened as I moved ahead to tickle her and she ran out from there, me following her.

Finally, having no space to run, she was sandwiched between me and the pillar. My either hands on her side and hers on my chest, as her brown orbs stared into mine.

"Toh, kya keh rahi thi tum?" I said tracing my finger on her side cheek and she blushed, shivering under my touch.

"Manik!" She called sensationally, and a cold shiver passed down my spine as she herself took a step towards me.

"Y-yes princess!" I stammered and she smirked at her bold effect on me. Her hands encircled my neck and she moved closer, breaking the distance between us as our upper bodies stuck together.

"Aryamman!" She said suddenly pulling away and I frowned.

"This is not going to work always Nandini!" I smirked as I kept my hand on her bare waist, covered by a net and she tried pulling away but the monster was too strong for the princess.

"What's up buddy?" I heard a voice and my hands rooted where they were as my eyes widened.

"Aa-aa-ryamman!" I fake smiled as my hands got off her body to turn behind and see my nightmare standing right there, smiling.

"Hey Manik! Kya kar rahe the?" He smiled. Andha hai kya?

"Oh I? I was kissing my girlfriend!" I mocked and Nandini's eyes widened as she slapped my bicep and Aryamman looked confused.

"You know I have a girlfriend, who's very beautiful and hot and kissing your girlfriend is very common, but that is if you are straight. Agar koi Gay ho toh alag baat hai, but for them also kissing is very common, just that girlfriend ke jaga boyfriend hota hai; but just for your information, I am very straight and I also have a girlfriend whom I promise to love a lot and I will only kiss her and no other guy-.....", I said in one breath as I held Nandini's hand and dragged her outside leaving a baffled Aryamman behind.

Just as we went out and I left Nandini's hand, she burst out laughing.

"Oh my god Manik! Like seriously, 'the Manik Malhotra' was scared of a guy just because he thinks he is Gay!" She laughed and I pouted.

"What? I am not scared of anybody! It's just that he is interested in me!" I pouted and she pulled my cheek, laughing more.

"Oh Manik! You're so cute! Ahahaha!" She laughed more and it irritated me as I held her arms and pulled her closer, out upper bodies collided together and her hands reached my chest and mine gripped  her back, drawing doodles on her bare skin.

"Aur hasso thoda!" I said in a monster voice and her wide eyes stared at me as she nodded negatively. And she says I am cute?

Kab se main dar dar phir raha
Musaafir dil ko panaah de
Tu awaargi ko meri aaj thehra de

Her hands traced my neck as she tip toed and I held her back more for support. Her hot breath fell on my neck as I felt her lips touching there, blowing it's hot breath, leaving a kiss there.

Ho sake toh thoda pyaar jataa de
Sookhi padi iss dil ki zameen ko bhiga de

My hands gripped herself tightly as she entwined them and I closed my eyes, absorbing her lips on my body for the first time ever.

"Nand..ini-.." it escaped my mouth, as she rose further up, kissing my stubble and letting jitters pass through me.

As much as I was enjoying her touch on my body, I couldn't control my hands as they turned her and pinned her to the wall.

My fingers traced her lips as the uncontrollable beast in me rose and I moved towards her lips.
I kept mine on hers just to realise they weren't as soft.

I receded back to realises I just kissed her hand, which covered her lips.

"Manik we can't kiss here! We are in the church!" She said and I gave her a 'are you serious' look?

"You start it and you tell me we can't kiss here?" I frowned and she turned red, flushing in embarrassment.

"Haa toh? I-.. I wanted to kiss you, toh meine kiya! Tunhe kisne kaha to kiss me back?" She pouted and my mouth flung again at her impossible talks as I moved away from her, at a distance.

"Manik! I always wanted to see a white wedding, let's go na?" She pleaded holding my hands and I tried ignoring her, but that pout on her lips wasn't really ignorable.

I pulled her close to me, keeping my lips on her pout, pecking it.

"Let's go!" I smiled looking at the tomato in front of me as we entwined our hands and walked inside.

"Do you take her as your lawful wife from today?" The priest asked Cabir and my eyes flipped at Nandini who was looking at them dreamily.

"I do!" I said looking at Nandini who's eyes snapped at me in shock.

"Do you take him as your lawful husband from today?" The priest now asked Navya and Nandini's eyes stared into mine as a beautiful smile captured her gorgeous face.

"I do!" She whispered back slowly and my smile just increased as I entwined our hands.

"You may exchange rings!" The priest instructed them and my hand reached my pocket as I pulled out a ring.

Nandini's eyes widened and her mouth fell open as she covered it with her palms.

"It's the promise ring! That I gave you, remember? But you left it at my place before you left India?" I enlightened her and she nodded with tears in her eyes as I picked her left hand up.

"I promise to protect you, and never leave you. I promise to stay by your side forever, till death do us apart-...", I whispered and she kept her fingers on my lips, stopping me to say further.

I kissed those fingers as I slipped in the ring to her index finger, kissing our entwined hands and she let those silent tears fall.

"Now, you may kiss the bride!" The priest said and Cabir and Navya locked their lips as everyone in the church hooted and clapped.

I looked at Nandini, asking her for permission and she closed her eyes, aching forward.

I didn't waste any time as I placed my lips on hers, and she kept her hand on my collar, pulling me closer as she kissed me back. It was a kiss of promises, a kiss of love, a kiss to forever.

"I love you Nandini!" I whispered as we broke apart and she kept her head on my chest.

"I know that Manik!" She said making me giggle at her.

"You're supposed to say I Love You too!" I frowned and she laughed more.

"Don't you know I love you too?" She asked and I sighed in defeat. Aaj ek baat toh pakka thi, whatever the future might hold for us, she is always going to be the winner and I will always be the one apologising between us.

And maybe that's how it's supposed to be. Me and her, forever.

"It's time for the bride to throw her flowers!" The priest said and Nandini broke apart from me.

I looked at her confused. Why will the bride throw her flowers? She smiled at me scoffed to stand behind Navya with the other girls, including Mukti and Aliya.

Navya looked behind and threw her flowers and it landed directly into Nandini's lap. I knitted my eyebrows more. What was happening?

Everyone clapped and the three mad girls hugged each other and congratulated Nandini. What the fuck was happening? Had she won a lottery or what?

"Congrats buddy!" Abhimanyu said, as he stood besides me and I smiled at him. "Why?" I asked, confused.

"The one who gets the brides flowers, is supposedly marrying next!" He informed and everything made sense.

"So why are you congratulating me?" I asked more confused and he looked as if he'd bang his head on the wall.

"Manik! Are you not fucking serious with my sister?" He asked trying to maintain his calm. "I am!" I replied instantly.

"Toh voh kya akeli shaadi karegi?" He asked shouting and my mouth fell open.

I looked at the crowd to see Nandini missing and I ran out, just to see her sitting calmly by the sea, the bouquet of white and blue tulips in her hand.

"Hey!" I whispered as I sat besides her and she smiled at me.

"Nandini, this....", I said pointing at the flowers. I loved Nandini, I loved her more than my life, my fame, my wealth, my everything. But marriage was a big responsibility and I don't think I was ready to commit into it, yet.

I have seen everything breaking apart, I have seen my parents breaking apart, I have seen so many marriages falling in front of eyes and the idea of marriage didn't really excite me, even if it was Nandini. It suffocated me.

But I loved her. And if she wanted to get married, I'd get married to her right here, in the church, and this very moment.

"Manik!" She said placing her hand on mine and we back entwined it, and kept her head on my shoulder, absorbing the serenity of the area.

"I wouldn't force you into anything that you are not ready for, we are not ready for. We have all the time in the world Manik, we'd let our relation grow for sometime and then think about taking it into the next step, hmm?" She asked looking at me and I felt a sigh of relief passing over me.

I kissed her crown and she closed her eyes, smiling under my face.

"Thank you Nandini, thank you for understanding me so well!" I said honestly and she smiled at me, as we stared the waters that shone under the reflection of the stars and the moon over it.

"I just don't want you to feel that I am not serious about this, about us! I just want to give us time, you know!", I breathed and she kissed my bicep.

"I know Manik, I love you!" She whispered.

"I don't where the future takes us, but I want you to know that I will love you. Not just today, tomorrow or for a few years. But forever, hamesha!" I said creeping close to her face and she smiled, looking serene under the moon light.

"Hamesha!" She repeated my words as I placed my lips on her forehead, and we fell in love with each other, all over again.

~the world had broken her, just as it broken him. But when they came together, their pieces became whole and they continued their journey together, healed and mended as one~
