"Aiyoo..!! This zip..!! Arghhh
Aiyappa..!!"Nandini murmured under breath
as usual her zip was stuck. She was
struggling with the zip of her white kurti
when suddenly she felt HIS touch on her
bare back and she gasped. She can clearly
see his handsome face in the reflection of
the mirror. He was looking utterly
handsome in his white kurta and white
trouser. Light stubble,sharp jawline and the
usual smirk was making his face resemble to
a Greek god. Now his hands were busy in
zipping her dress and he was nuzzling his
nose in her ear.
"Manik..!!"She merely whispered.
"Hmm..!!"His sexy hum against her ear sent
shiver down her spines and she felt weak on
her knees.
"Leave me...!! Koi dekh lay ga..!! Door is
open..!!"This time she said softly gripping
herself.
"Tou..!! Dkhny do..!! Like I care..!!"Manik
said with an attitude and made her face him.
He look at her face. Those hazel orbs filled
with kajal,pouty lips covered with red
lipstick and usual blush on her cheek was
something he loved the most. He gently
caressed her cheeks with his thumbs and she
smiled.
"Aik wada karo ge?"Manik said in a serious
tone.
"Haan..!!"Nandini said holding his hand.
"Hamesha aisy he smile karti rehna..!!
Q kay jab tum smile karti ho na tou bohat
beautiful lagti ho..!!"Manik said softly it was
more a prayer and Nandini was lost in his
words.
Na Kuch Poocha, Na Kuch Manga
(Manik smiled widely and picked up the earrings
from the dressing table to tuck them in her ears.)
Tune Dil Se Diya Jo Diya
(He tucked them gently in her ears he was also
saying something to her but she was lost..!! Lost in
his eyes..!! Without blinking her eyes she was
staring at him..!!)
Na Kuch Bola, Na Kuch Tola
(Now he was adjusting the locket in her neck and
maybe he was praising her beauty but she was
thinking that what did she do actually to deserve
Manik..!!)
Muskura Ke Diya Jo Diya
(Now he was again smiling..!! He gently took her
hands in his..!!)
Tu Hi Dhoop, Tu Hi Chau
(She gently freed her one hand cupped his cheeks..!
Maybe she wanted herself to make sure that
everything that was happening was real..!!)
Tu Hi Apna Paraya
(Now Manik was looking at her with a confusing
smile..!! Maybe he called her name but she was lost
in his eyes..!!)
Aur Kuch Na Janu, Bas Itna Hi Janu
(Slowly tears shined in her eyes meanwhile he
picked up the red dupatta from the bed..!)
Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya
Karun
(He carefully adjusted the dupatta on her head..!! He
saw her tears and became panicked may be asked
the reason too but Nandini was loss of words..!!)
Sajde Sar Jhukta Hai, Yaara Mein Kya Karun
(He immediately wiped her tears and kissed her
forehead to which she closed her eyes..!!)
Rab Ne.. Bana Di Jodii...
(Nandini started sobbing hard and hugged Manik
tightly to which he was taken aback for a second
but then coprated back wrapping his arms around
her securely..!!)
Nandini was sobbing hard and Manik patted
her head.
"Oyee..!! Why are you crying..!! Look at
me?"Manik said cheekily and made her look
to him.
"Thank you Manik..!! You gave me another
life..!! I forgot to smile in last one year..!!
Thank you..!!"Nandini said smiling between
her tears.
"Awww..!! Acha ab tum ni rona ok..!!"Manik
said lovingly and wiped her tears.
"I promise I will never cry..!!"Nandini said
determinedly.
"That's like my good girl..!"Manik said
lovingly and Nandini smiled. Suddenly they
heard knock on the door both look at the
door and found their friends giggling at
them.
"Ab romance ko thora pause day do..!! And
tum logon ko bta dain gay guests aa gye
hain..!! Aunty is calling you both..!!"Cabir
said laughingly.
"Rahul aa gya?"Nandini asked in a serious
tone and all who were laughing instantly
became serious.
"Yes..!! He is down..!!"'Navya said in a
serious tone and Nandini took a deep
breath. All came in the room.
"Time for some serious action guys..!!"Manik
said with his usual smirk and extended his
hand. Cabir was the first to place his hand
on his hand then Navya followed him.
Mukbhi and Dhrulya also placed their hand
at the end Nandini placed his hand looking
at Manik. She was confident and that's what
Manik wanted today.
"Come on guys..!! All for one..!!"Cabir
shouted.
"And One for all...!!"Navya too shouted and
all raised their hand in air.
"Chalo Nandini jaldi say dupatta lay
lo..!! Tmhara face nazar ni ana
chye..!!"Manik said and Nandini covered her
face in ghoongat. All came down. Manik was
tightly holding Nandini's hand and was
following his friends. The reason for hiding
Nandini's face was that if Rahul was in
lounge they can cover Nandini. But to their
good luck he was at poolside with many
other peoples.
"Thank God he is outside..!! Nandini..!! Hum
sab bahar ja rahy hain..!! Jab main tmy
ishara karoon tab tm ana ok?"Manik said in
a low voice and Nandini nodded. All left her
in the lounge. She hide behind the curtain
and peeped out from the window to see
what was going on next.
...
"Wohhoo..!! Look who we have
here..!!"Manik exclaimed and patted Rahul's
shoulder. All his other friends too came
there.
"Hi..!! Happy Holi..!!"Rahul said smilingly.
"Happy Holi..!! Guys let's wish Mr.Rahul in
our special way..!!"Manik said cheekily and
with that he signaled Nandini. Fab5 and
Thakar's within a second covered Rahul
with lots of color to prevent an eye infection
Rahul closed his eyes. At the same time
Nandini came running and she came at
Rahul's back. As the color attack was so
sudden Rahul was not able to figure out
anything. He was just covering his eyes with
his palms. Nandini took advantage of it and
she whispered in Rahul's ear something
which shook him to the core and the
whisper was "You are my rapist..!! You killed
me..!!" As soon as she whispered she hide
under the table and Manik stood in front of
her to cover it while Rahul immediately
turned to look at his back but he saw Manik.
"Wo..!! Have you heard-heard it..!!"Rahul
fumbled.
"Heard What?"Manik asked innocently.
"Wo..!! The whisper..!!"Rahul said still
confused as he look at all of them to get
anything but they all shrugged their
shoulders.
"Rahul..!! Yar..!!Abhi tou bhaang shuru bhi
nai hue tmy pehli he nasha ho gya..!!"Cabir
said laughingly and all joined him. And
Rahul became a little embarrassed.
"I need to wash my face..!!"Rahul said in a
low voice and Manik pointed towards the
washroom. Rahul quietly went from there
and all burst out in laughter. Manik helped
Nandini to come out from under the table.
"Did it worked?"Nandini asked nervously.
"Of course...!! Kash tum us ka face
dkhti..!!"Manik was still laughing. Suddenly
they saw Rahul coming back. Manik dragged
Nandini behind a holi board and all other
covered them. Nandini's heartbeat was fast
now. Nandini hide herself in Manik's as
much as she could and Manik's grip around
Nandini became more tight.
"Rahul..!! Chal yaar..! Aj thora enjoy
ho jye..!! Come..!! Let's eat jalebi..!!"Cabir
said loudly and dragged Rahul with
him. MaNan sighed in relief. Suddenly a
wicked idea came in Nandini's mind and she
carefully picked up some color in her fist
from nearby table while Manik was busy in
looking for Rahul. Suddenly Nandini threw
color on Manik's face and he became
shocked for an instant. While Nandini was
smiling widely.
"It's my revenge for this morning..!!"Nandini
exclaimed and was about to run away when
Manik held her dupatta and pull her
towards him.
"Miss.Nandini..!! Have you forgotten then let
me remind you that every trick you try to
play with me..!! You have to PAY for
that..!!"Manik said huskily wiping his face
with her dupatta and Nandini shyly turned
her head.
"Manik..! Plan..!!"She tried to free herself
from his grip.
"Plan bhi hota rahy ga..!! Pehly you have to
pay..!!"Manik said seductively but Nandini
placed her palm on his lips and run away.
Manik let her go this time and smiled.
Because at that time plan was more
necessary than romance.
