Morning rays hit Nandini's face and she snuggled in Manik more..! Manik who was awake since last one hour held her more close and smiled..! He was adoring his little angel the way she breath, the way she turned her sides and the cute faces she make in sleep were so mesmerizing for Manik..
"Manik..! Please curtains aagy kar do..! I want to sleep..!"She whispered hiding her face in Manik's chest while he pecked her hair lightly..
"Hmm..! Should I ask this sun to go away as my baby wants to sleep?"Manik asked playfully running his fingers in her hair..
"Haan please..!"She said sleepily and within seconds her breath was even again..! Manik sighed and let her sleep for few more minutes they were getting late for college and she was looking very tired..! He himself can't get up as Nandini was holding him tightly. Another hour passed with her sleeping peacefully in most secure place 'his arms' and him while adoring her and pecking her forehead, hair time to time..! Finally he heard the knock on the door..
"Manik..! Are you awake..?"He heard Nayonika's faint voice and he look at sleeping Nandini..! He had to get up..! He carefully entangled himself from her and rushed to open the door wearing his tracks immediately...
"Kya hua Mom?"He asked worriedly as soon as he came out and saw a worried Nayonika standing..
"Rahul..! He is out of jail..!"Nayonika said worriedly and Manik closed his eyes to calm himself down. That was the least thing he wanted to happen..
"Now what?"He asked in a serious tone and crossed his arms on his chest..!
"How's he out of jail?"He was a surprised a bit...
"I don't know someone applied for his bail..!"Nayonika said fidgeting with her fingers..
"Mom..! Main Nandini ko nahi kho skta..! Aur na he usy kise problem me dekh skta hoon..!"Manik said worriedly before Nayonika could say something..
"Maaanniik..! Where are you?"They heard Nandini's shouts of Nandini she must awake because of Manik's absence..!
"You go..! And don't tell her anything..!"Nayonika whispered and walked back..! Manik calmed his face and walked back..! Nandini was stepping out of the bed with blanket around..!
"Hey hey chill..! Am here only..!"Manik approached her and held her..
"Kya hua? Where were you? Mom aye the? Kya bool rahi the?"She and her non stop questions..
"Uffoo..! You tiny head kity sawaal poochti ho..! Come and sit here..!"Manik said in a casual tone and made her sit on the bed forcefully...
"Tum kya chupa rahy ho? Manik Malhotra..! Jhoot boolna allowed nahi hai..!"She was angry now as the frowns on Manik's face were not giving her good vibes...
"Aik tou na my panic queen! Bohat jaldi tensed ho jati ho! Am telling you na nothing happened! Trust me..!"Manik again lied and Nandini made a bad face..
"Theek hai mat btaoa..! But am telling you..! Koi serious matter hua na and you hide it from me tou I will be gussa on you..!"She warned him and he nodded obediently..! She was about to get up again but Manik pulled her...
"Acha..! Now come here..! I can't let you go without a morning kiss?"He said dramatically and fused their lips..! She giggled in the kiss surrendering again and Manik picked her up as they both needed a shower!
------------------------------------
"Suno..!"Manik called her as they were about to part ways in the college corridor..
"Haan?"She turned to him..
"Baby..! You will take care ok..! No wandering around! Finish your assignment submission and come back straight to me!"He was advising like a father cupping her cheeks and she made a bad face..
"For your kind information Mr.Malhotra..! Am not a baby..! I can take care of myself ok?"She said angrily and he sighed..
"Stop being so fussy and cranky..! You are a baby atleast for me..! Tum woi karo ge jo main boloon ga..!"He too became angry and Nandini hide a smile..! She wanted to tease him now..
"I won't..! Kar lo jo karna hai..!"She said and jerked his hands off..
"Nahi mano ge?"Suddenly he shouted and Nandini shook her head angrily..! "Fine then don't blame me..!"Manik again shouted. Within seconds he pinned her with the wall and smashed his lips on hers..! Manik Malhotra had his own ways while Nandini's eyes were widened with shock..! She never expected that Manik will kiss her in the corridor and that to like this..! She tried to push him but he was very strong and after few moments she was responding him. Manik ruined her lipstick very expertly and chewed her lips in his teeth..! Nandini was going breathless badly and suddenly they both heard a cough. Manik parted away slowly and held Nandini by her waist as her condition was vulnerable now due to the hot intensity of Manik's passion..! She hide her face in his neck and breathed heavily while Manik look at the owner of the cough and rolled his eyes! 'ARYAMAN'...! They both were still standing with wall but Nandini was hidden in Manik's arms..
"Any problem?"Manik asked sarcastically to Aryaman who was staring at them with wide eyes maybe he didn't expected space students to do kissing in corridors openly and held Nadini more close..
"No..! No problem..! Actually I was searching for Nandini..!"He said looking away and Nandini opened her eyes slowly on hearing his voice..
"For what?"Manik asked and Nandini look at Aryaman from Manik's neck...
"Prac-practice..!"Aryaman stammered. Manik look at Nandini the passion of his lips was still on her and maybe it needed a little time to fade away as she had hide her face again in his neck..
"Move out..! She will join you in few minutes..!"Manik said to Aryaman and he almost run from there hell embarrassed..! "Wanna join him?"Manik asked caressing her hair and she just hummed..! Manik smiled and wrapped his arms around her more..! They stayed like for this sometime with Nandini's heart still beating erratically in her chest..
"Who are you?"She whispered after a long pause and Manik kissed her hair..
"Tumhara HERO!"He whispered back and she finally broke the hug...! She pecked his cheek and smiled..
"I love you..!"Again a beautiful confession...
"I know..! And I love you more..!"He returned the favor with a forehead peck..
"Ab main jaati hoon..!"She said lowering her gaze and Manik held her hand again..
"You will do as I said to you!"He was back on the point..
"I will..! I promise..!"She assured him and freed her hand..! She walked away and he kept staring at her back for a long time..
-------------------------------------

"You are doing it very better today Nandini..! Would you like to sing on stage..!"After a long practice session Aryaman asked to Nandini and this time she nodded confidently..! She texted Manik to come to Audi as it was an emergency. She wanted to surprise him...! With that she walked to Audi with Aryaman..
-------------------------------------
"Guys..! Let's practice in this scale..!"Manik again instructed his gang and they all nodded. He was about to strum his guitar when his cell phone beeped..! "Wait a sec guys..!"He said softly and pulled out his cell phone. Message from Nandini made him smile but the message was enough to stop his breath..
"Emergency! Come to Audi now!"He read the message loud and within second all run towards Audi..! As he reached near Audi he heard her shivering voice coming..! He run more faster and stormed into Audi. What he saw next was a beautiful sight! Nandini was singing! His baby was singing! As soon as she saw him her voice became more confident! She smiled at him and he smiled back..! Finally she was recovering! Tomorrow was a big day and they all will surely gonna rock..!
---------------------------------
"Someone was very confident today..!"Manik said lovingly taking her in a back hug as she was brushing her hair before going to bed..
"Yes..! Akhir Manik Malhotra ki wife hoon..! Confident tou hona he tha na..! Manik Thank you..!"She said smiling all the time at him through the mirror..
"Thank you?"Manik said naughtily and turned her.. "Then thank me properly!"He said eying her lips and she laughingly palmed his lips..
"Mr.Majnu Malhotra..! Phone baj raha hai..!"She said turned her.
"Yar! Aik tou ya phone bhi na!"He murmured and walked to side table to get his phone..! The caller ID was Cabir. Manik look at Nandini she was busy with her brushing! He quietly walked to terrace and answered the phone..
"Haan Cabir?"He whispered..
"Bro! Panga ho gya hai! Rahul is back in power! We saw him in the pub tonight! Bohat gusay main tha!"Cabir spoke worriedly and Manik gulped the lump in throat..
"Nothing bad will happen and I will make sure of it!"Manik said in a determined tone and Cabir sighed..
"All for one!"He whispered from other side..
"One for all!"Manik whispered back closing his eyes and they hung up..
"Manik..!"Nandini called him and composing himself he walked back..
"Hmm?"He hummed as he came in and saw her sitting on the bed..
"You will be there na when I will perform?"She asked sweetly and Manik smiled. He sat beside her and pulled her in his lap..
"I will be! And agr me na bhi hua then I will be always here..!"He said putting his hand on her heart..! "I will be always there for you Nandini! Because I love you! Main kabhi tmhy kuch nahi hony doon ga! Never ever!"He spoke in an emotional tone and Nandini molded her lips on his. Manik kissed her back and laid her back on the bed. They kissed each other slowly without haste because they were forever!!
"I love you too Manik..! Tum sab kuch ho mery! Sab kuch..!"She confessed breathing heavily still pinned under him..
"Aur tum meri!"He whispered back and pecked her forehead..! She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid with him..! Peace and solace..!
-----------------------------------
"Manik..!"Nandini whispered softly and ruffled his hair politely..! It was 6 of the morning and they need to go to college..!
"Baby sony do..!"His voice came deep as he was very sleepy..!
"Baby ky baba jaag jaoa na! Aj Talent hunt hai! You have a performance waiting for you!"She again traced his hair but he hide his face in the pillow again. She smiled on his cuteness and let him sleep a little more. She got up and before she could stand still she felt dizzy..! Sh!t! What was happening? She sat on the bed again and look at Manik..! He was snoring like a donkey and she sighed that he didn't noticed. Suddenly she felt an urge to vomit she run towards the washroom and threw all the left over she had in her stomach of dinner..! What was happening to her? She trembled on the thought and held the sink edge tightly. Was she preg--? No! Manik! He didn't wanted a child right now! No! It won't be..! Her breath quickened and tears welled up in her eyes.
"No Nandu! Maybe you are having a bad stomach! But this dizziness!"She mumbled to herself and wiped the sweat beads which appeared on her forehead..! She quietly came out of her room and walked to Nayonika's room...!
"Mom?"She knocked the door..
"Come in sweetie..!"Nayonika's voice reached her ear and she went inside..
"Why are you up so early?"Nayonika asked politely shutting her laptop and Nandini sat beside her..
"Mom..! I..! ku-kuch baat hai..!"She stammered! She didn't had the words to tell Nayonika..
"Nandu..! What happened? Why are you looking so pale?"Nayonika asked holding her hands which she had fisted very tightly..
"Mom..! I think..! Main..!"
"Bolo beta..! You are scaring me..!"
"I think am pregnant..!"She blurted out and Nayonika's eyes widened..
"I love you so much beta!"Nayonika was going mad with joy but Nandini burst out in tears which worried Nayonika..
"Nandu! Why are you crying? Aren't you happy?"Nayonika asked in a sad shocked tone..
"Mom..! Manik..! Wo nahi many ga! He had told me that he don't want a baby!"She spoke between her sobs..
"Mom..! Abhi I don't want a baby! Nandini is very young to handle those pains..!"Manik's words echoed in Nayonika's ears and she bite her lower lip..!
"It's ok..! We will talk to him..! I know he will be super happy when he will hear about this!"Nayonika assured her and Nandini hugged Nayonika..! For the first time in her life she was scared of Manik..
"Mom..! Ap usy nahi btaoa gay! I..! I will tell him myself..!"She spoke wiping her tears..
"I know! It's your right! But if you need my help..! You will tell me!"Nayonika said patting her cheek and she nodded..!

"Relax..! Don't stress yourself..! Now you have another life in you..!"Nayonika said lovingly and she smiled weakly..
