In the morning ,

At 7am Neyonika woke up from her sleep and she got ready in half hour and she thought to check on Nandini and after that she or Nandini will wake Manik up. So she go to Nandini's room but she didn't found her there and thought she may be roaming here in house or may be taking bath.

Here two souls were sleeping peacefully actually not two but one of them was sleeping like a king on bed occupying larger area and another one was sleeping in a small place like a slave.

Neyonika got big shocked of her life when she saw Nandini sleeping on his bed wearing his shirt , and there positions were like her one leg was on his stomach and other one was on the other side of bed , both hands were freely spreaded over mattress . And his face was covered with her pillow and he was in congested position but still was in deep sleep she laughed on them and clicked there pic .

She was about to wake them up but she thought to play some pranks and she saw manik struggling to push that leg and pillow from him.

she screamed,

"Manikkkk" he woke up with a jerk and jerked her leg , because of force she also got up and both of them looked at the source of sound and found Neyonika there . Nandini was embarrassed but Manik was astonished.

"What is this Manik?" she asked sternly.

"Mom....Wo .....Mom" he stammered because he was hell confused.

"Okay Manik I can understand" This time her voice was too slow and happy.

"What?" he frowned.

"That u were trying to make me Dadi(Grandmother) soon" she said very happily but Nandini's eyes got wide , and Manik was engrossed with too much thoughts that why Nandini is with him , then first Neyonika screamed and now she is happy .

Nandini was about to explain but Neyonika signed her through eyes to keep quiet and watch the ongoing drama , when Manik wasn't looking at them , but was thinking and finally he thought about her last statement about Grandmother and his bulb glowed.

"What ???Nooooo" he screamed .

"Mom it's nothing like that ..... Nothing happened between us ......I toh even don't know she was sleeping with me" he tried to justify him.

Instantly Nandini cupped his face and said "Manik , babyyy .....How u can say nothing happened ..... U were toh very sweet last night" she said very sweetly and joined in drama. "Now u can't behave like this....u can't betray me " she said in sad tone . Now Manik was like 'Yeh me kaha hun...kaun hu .... kaha fas gaya ' .

Seeing his blank face she again said "What about our children and aunty's grandchildren Manik?" with this she started fake crying.

"Manik U can't betray her " Neyonika also winked at her without Manik's attention.

"What ? ..... U both have lost ur mind..... I haven't done anything" he said in frustration and left for washroom.

Both of them started laughing
"Nandini u r hilarious" Neyonika laughed . And realisation hit her hard .

"But aunty how are you so sure that nothing happened even when seeing me in his shirt?" Nandini was shocked.

"Aren't you happy that you didn't faced any embarassment and unnecessary explanations?" Neyonika teasingly raised her eyebrows.

"Off course I am but I was just thinking that how you didn't reacted in a typical way....As usually aunties do without even listening others side of story" Nandini shared her doubt.

"Because age is just a number and I am not typical aunty.....And second thing I saw lights are still on and also ur sleeping position was funny..... I know both of you so I understood this with ur very first expressions.....And more importantly I know how my Manik is , he can't use any innocent person.....He can't never hurt anyone....And specially you , he will never crossed his limits with you till the time he is sure about his feelings " Neyonika explained her , she really knows him well so that she don't need any justifications to trust him but her answer made Nandini overwhelmed.

"U know I always thought that only I have great and open minded parents but u proved me wrong..... But I know my parents had love marriage so they are like this....But how u r so cool ....I mean u used to ride bikes , u enjoyed horror movies , ur stunning looks , businesswoman aura , everything is different about you and off course it's amazing but how ?" Nandini was really impressed with her but similarly she thought that it's unusual sight of a woman that too of her age.

"Because of my Baba (Father) ..... He loved me so much that he didn't stoped me for anything even when I have a Orthodox family.....But his thoughts were modern , because he lived in London for 10 years....I am so like him .... I was always a different girl than others.... I was interested in studies and then in business I wanted to be a top business woman just like my Baba ..... He also had faith in my abilities more than Dada(big brother) because I was smart child ..... And for my MBA he was willing to send me in Oxford University of London but..." she stopped in middle her eyes filled with lots of emotions.

"But?" Nandini asked her to continue

"But he passed away before I can apply for Oxford.....And after him my other family was orthodox they were always against me but never said anything because of Baba....But after he died they forced me to get married...But I convinced them at least let me do MBA it was Baba's last wish so they agreed but they allowed me to complete it here in India ...... I studied in Symbiosis in Pune , and was willing to pursue my further dream .....But they forced me to marry and I also agreed and thought Shrikant will allow me to work but " and that's it she started crying. Nandini saw her tears and hugged her .

"It's okay.... Shh.....Ur Baba is still with u in ur actions, emotions and in everything" she consoled Neyonika .

"Yeah off course....And it's one of the reason that I still used to ride bikes....This skill of me is gifted by him only " Neyonika smiled widely and got a grip over her emotions.

...............||

Meanwhile Manik entered in bathroom and saw that light is on and also saw her clothes on bathroom floor and his 5% percent doubt got cleared that nothing happened , she herself changed her clothes . He was 95% sure but he had doubt on remaining 5% which got cleared now.

But why she came to his room? why changed her clothes and wore his? he thought about this while bathing.

............||

After brushing teeth Nandini was having her breakfast and Neyonika was just sitting to accompany her as she thought she will have her breakfast with Manik. Because Nandini told her that she will be going to Murthy mansion so she can get ready in semi formal clothes and not in her usual shorts and crop top. Because she packed only usual clothes in her bag which is also in Manik's car.

"But Nandini how u landed up in Manik's room? .....and his clothes ?.......I am just curious " Neyonika asked in the middle of Nandini's breakfast.

"Actually na ..... last night I got scared so much and thought of coming to you but again I thought you will laughed on me .....But Manik's room was near.....I wore his shirt because I wasn't comfortable in my tight clothes and my bag was in his car.....So no way I can go to car alone....I was so scared that I didn't shut lights " Nandini said looking down in embarrassment of her fear and actions.

"Haha.... U r so funny Nandini " Neyonika laughed at her . And she also smiled sheepishly.

"Aunty can we be friends.....I am not feeling to call you aunty .....It doesn't suits ur personality....And also insulting ur looks" she was impressed with Neyonika so she asked genuinely.

"Actually ......don't mind but I really don't like friendship.... It's kind of I don't believe in friendship......I didn't had so many friends but had very few" Neyonika saw Nandini's falling face .

"No problem" Nandini smiled.

"But I will be happy having other one " her statement made Nandini happy. She don't know why she wasn't able to see her sad face . Why it's always different with Nandini.

"Off course....And I will not hurt you or leave u Neyo " Nandini hugged her after completing her breakfast.

"I hope U will stick by ur words" Neyonika said in low voice but Nandini assured her saying yes.

"Now it's done.....I need to get ready soon .....I am leaving...... U both came till 9 ..... I will be ready .....Bye " with this she left and Neyonika keep staring at her enthusiastic and childish figure.

............||

Here Manik and Neyonika were waiting for Nandini , outside the Murthy mansion .

"Mom we should go inside to bring her or we should leave her " Irritated Manik said this who was waiting for her since last five mins.

Neyonika's ph rang showing name of her P.A so before attending she said " U go .... I have to attend this call....I will wait outside " .

He entered inside and asked servents about Nandini's room. He reached at the door of her room and saw her finding something on floor.

His eyes glittered with lust as soon as she turned to his side showing her whole back as her zip was open . But she was seating on her knees finding her one earring from last five minutes. She did have closed her zip but not till end so when she bent down it got open completely. But seeing her sexy back he thought ' why she always looks so stunning and sexy in backless navy blue...she shouldn't wear Indian....uff' and sighed.

After having bath she wore a beautiful Indian dress to visit company, she kept her hair open and done side partition . She was wearing watch and that time her one earing fall on floor. So after wearing one she was finding other

(Nandini's look . But her Duptta is just on one shoulder)

She realised this and got up and found Manik staring at her back she got conscious and tried to hide her back . Now she was standing in front of him , and thought came to her mind.

"U opened my zip" she accused him and her voice brought him back into his senses.

"What?"

"I know you only did this" she again accused pointing her finger at his chest.

A naughty thought came to his mind and he pulled her from her waist , said "Haa... I did this" , and started roaming his hands over her bare back and her breathing rose as the speed of light.

"Why?" she asked in uncertain tone.

"Why ....Are you serious .... U only said na 'It' happened last night between us " he pulled her more close and whispered in her ears. "But I don't remember anything.....So thought of creating new memory " with this he kissed at her shoulder and his hands were pressing her from back on him. Reducing distance of one inch also.

"Ma- Manikk" she stammered and moaned his name.

"But why are you scared now....U were toh so happy in the morning haina ?" he gave open mouth kiss on her neck .

"Manik nothing happened last night.....I was so scared that's why I came to ur room and my clothes were in ur car that's why I wear ur shirt because I was uncomfortable with my clothes" she innocently justified her in low voice , she was nervous because of there proximity.

He instantly zipped up her chain and pulled himself back "I didn't opened ur zip it got opened itself when u bent down.....And I knew u were lying..... U can't do such things without sure feelings " he said honestly.

"How u all are so sure ?.....Is it that obvious ?" she asked amusingly, because it was insulting her image of flirty.

"Off course ..... Because u r the most dumb girl who thinks that she is a big flirty ....But in actual didn't even know how to kiss and never kissed any " he laughed on her but it made her infuriated.

"As if u have kissed 10 girls " angry she said sarcastically.

"Ha u r right I didn't kissed 10 girls "

"See .... I am always right"

"Not 10 but more than 10 or may be 20 " he completed his sentence with broad proud smile.

"Really?" she said in low tone and he nodded. Feeling embarrassed that he didn't even kissed one guy and she don't have any story to tell.

"Off course..... Didn't I nd Ruby told u that I was infamous or famous for my looks and flirty nature " he tucked remaining earring on her ear. Which he found near dressing table.

"Hmm" she could only said this because she don't have any story of her own to be proud on that , and went out silently as they heard horn of his car.

As soon as they reached Neyonika asked "What took you guys so long ?" with this Manik sitted on driver seat and both of them settled on back seat.

" Her over dramatic Indian dress and accessories " Manik answered her question.

"It's perfect Manik....." Neyonika praised but Nandini just smiled. She was in trauma of her insult over her flirty Nature.

"Ha and she is looking..." before he could continued.

"Beautiful....haina?" Neyonika interrupted him.

"Nooo.....She is looking like a mother of four kids " he teased and laughed.

"U monster......U look like a 80years old man" she came out of her trauma and screamed. This time everyone laughed and at 9.45am they reached outside the company.

.............||

Neyonika introduced Nandini to Ruhi and left with Manik for meeting in conference hall . Manik's attitude changed to serious and rude businessman as soon as they entered inside the office. And also his look was also professional.

(Manik's attire)

"U r his fiance?" Ruhi asked Nandini as she was showing whole company and staff to Nandini.

"What?...No"

"Ohh Expected answer" she said in casual tone.

"Means?"

"Arey he is very rude and serious.....But handsome as a hell.....So from starting I have seen female employees flirting with him but he didn't showed even 1%percent interest towards them.....But he have fired them.....In fact u see No young female employees are here.....He only didn't fired me because I am engaged and I never flirted" Ruhi explained Nandini listened her.

"Then why u asked me that?"

"Because I never saw him smiling before today ,...But saw when u guys came....Though it was small smile but still" Nandini blushed but she was stunned by listening his rock like behaviour.

"What kind of flirting they did with him?" she was curious about what actual flirt meant.

"Nothing much but they tried to touched him sensually.... Some of them tried to seduce them by opening front buttons showing cleavage and bending extra towards him.....Try to fall on him purposely .... That's it " Now Nandini's eyes got wide opened and she got to know that Manik was right, she is really dumb about thinking herself flirty .

Again she became happy. She is really moody , all day she spent with Ruhi and other staff members. She talked with them laughed with them . And also had her lunch with them . Because Manik and Neyonika were busy whole day , they had little bit food and they asked Nandini to have her lunch.

Everyone was so impressed with Nandini , whole day she was excited and chirping. They liked her so much and asked her to visit again. She agreed and when Manik and Neyonika came at 7 pm they left for home but before that Neyonika heard her staff praising Nandini.

They stopped at her favourite Aishwarya restaurant for dinner and they had there dinner on her fav place in that resturant. And they returned to home on 8.30 . And all the way to home radio was on , constantly ranting about her eventful day . She shared each and every detail with them. Both of them listened her and they were so tired so don't said so much but happily smiled at her.

.............||

Nandini talked with her parents over phone and shared details of her stay at Malhotra mansion but off course skip all romance part. They laughed on her and they chatted over usual things for half hour and Ishita reminded her to apply oil before sleeping because tomorrow is Sunday. Day of washing her hair.

So Nandini came with boiled almond oil in bowl with one servant. Manik and Neyonika saw her sitting beside them on sofa and servant kept that bowl on side table and left .

"Why this ?" Manik asked.

"Mom told me to apply oil before sleeping" she answered .

"Then come here I will give u massage" Neyonika said.

"No aunty u r already very tired....I will manage" Nandini said.

"U forgot about our friendship?"

"What ?" Manik was shocked.

"And u know I used to give Manik massage every night when he was small....So I am expert in this " she said.

"Ha and u always used to sing that lullaby and I used to sleep on ur lap only " he also remembered lovingly.

Interested in lullaby Nandini instantly sit in front of Neyonika and forwarded oil "Can u also sing that lullaby after massaging my hair?" She asked sweetly.

"I also want massage " Manik sitted on floor in between Neyonika's legs .

"But first u will massage my hair" Nandini is stubborn.

"Okay.....But lullaby is Marathi ..... I learnt that from my Aai(mother)" Neyonika told her.

"No problem.....Mala sudhha marathi yete (I know/I can speak Marathi) " with this Neyonika gave her soothing massage and also praised her long hair and Manik was just smiling at lovingly.

"Now my turn " Manik said as her massage got completed. She started massaging his hair.

निंबोणीच्या झाडामागे
चंद्र झोपला गं बाई
आज माझ्या पाडसाला
झोप का गं येत नाही

गाय झोपली गोठयात
घरटयात चिऊताई
परसात वेलीवर
झोपल्या गं जाई जुई
मिट पाकळ्या डोळ्यांच्या
गाते तुला मी अंगाई

देवकी नसे मी बाळा
भाग्य यशोदेचे भाळी
तुझे दुःख घेण्यासाठी
केली पदराची झोळी
जगावेगळी ही ममता
जगावेगळी अंगाई

रित्या पाळण्याची दोरी
उरे आज माझ्या हाती
स्वप्न एक उधळून गेले
माय लेकराची नाती
हुंदका गळ्याशी येता
गाऊं कशी मी अंगाई

(In this song a mother is asking her stubborn baby to sleep and she is explaning how other babies of nature mother is sleeping so , please u also sleep I am singing this lullaby for u to sleep, She is showing her unconditional love in this poem she can't see her baby in pain so she is asking him to sleep or else she will not able to sing and make him sleep if she will start crying by seeing him cry)

As the lullaby ended Neyonika found weight on her lap and saw Nandini sleeping peacefully on her lap . Manik was also dizzy but he found Nandini at his place. He should have envy her for getting his side of love but he found his peace seeing her face.

For a change both Neyonika and Manik looked at Nandini so admiringly as if thinking how beautiful it would be if she will be part of their family.

And they looked at each other with same feelings in there eyes. But diverted there eyes because it's impossible for them to have complete family.

"She is sleeping we shouldn't wake her up ....So take her to her room" Neyonika said him .

"Uff....Okay fine" he looked at her authoritative eyes .

He gently picked her in bridal style saying Neyonika he started climbing stairs and heard teasing from behind.

"Take her only to her room....I know u must be knowing correct path" Neyonika teased him.

And she also went in her room.
