...

Loved by a Vampire (3)

After manik went , Alia came and stood behind her and said

" Wahhh nandu. I must say. "

Nandu smirked and snaked her hands towards Alia's hips and took out her small wallet.

" This calls for a celebration isn't it ? " Nandu excitedly said.

Matlab khud ke manik ko invite krne ke liye mere paise udd rahe hai . Wahhh . Mast logic hai. Alia thought

🤣🤣🤣

" Let's go to shopping na nandu. U have to look the best tomorrow. What say ? "

" Obviously. No objection in that. Let's go. "

And both of them left for shopping.
And brought matching accessories , shoes etc.
After the shopping session of 3 hours , both decided to hit the food court before their stomach growls louder now.

Both ordered their food and in sometime they received their trays.

Alia felt a burning sensation around her hands as soon she touched the  box. Her hands automatically turned little red and before nandini could see she hid her hands below the table.

A - Excuse me ? She called that waiter (W)

W - Yes mam.

A - I didn't ordered this garlic bread. Take it away and where is my order ?

W - Sorry mam.

And hurriedly he took away the tray and while talking to waiter alia placed her finger on the table and nandini saw it to be red.

And it took Every thing for alia to not lash out at the waiter  in a more harsh way who told sorry as he misplaced the order.

" What is wrong with your finger alia ? It's red. What happened?"
Nandini asked alia worriedly.

Hearing nandini alia hid it under the table now and said

" It's nothing nandu. Just an allergy. I just hate garlic " 🤪

Nandini found it odd but didn't asked anything further and both had their food and left the mall.

Both reached Nandini's home and as it was late so Alia stayed at Nandini's.

The Next Day

We can see Manik talking over the call to someone.

Manik's Pov

Nandini... Just wait for few more weeks. I , myself need to know that how come you came out alive from the grave , When I myself  , with these hands i dug out the grave and buried you , that day i didn't just buried your body but my heart with it nandini.

And a scene of him crying and putting flowers on the grave flashed to him.

( IMAGINE IT TO BE NIGHT IN THE PIC , NOT DAY)

And while thinking this a lone tear escaped his eyes . 😢🤧
As he took a deep breath and smiled thinking the time he will get to spend with his love tonight at the party.

I can again and I will start again with you over and over again nandini. No matter how many times you lose the memory.
I'll Always try and be with you no matter whatever the circumstances are or will be.
He said this determinedly to himself.

At evening  5pm , Nandini's place

Nandini was just opening her almirah when she saw a packet.

Weird. 🙄

And opened it and found a dress and nandini opened it and in No time she was smiling but was confused that this is not the dress which they shopped today.

She called alia who was in the phone and hearing her she came to Nandini's room.

Bolo nandu ? Kya hua ? 

Woh i wanna ask you that , we didn't bought this dress as much as I remember.
Is it yours ? 🙄

Alia took it and looked here and there and mumbled " You " 😥

" What ? Did u say something ? "

"Nope. " 😬

"Toh tell me na whose dress is this ? "
And now nandini looked at alia suspiciously.🤨🧐

And by covering it up quickly alia said
" Woh nandini i knew that you were quite not satisfed with the dresses there in the mall today so I thought to buy some good stuff Online for you.
To surprise you too nandu. Heheh "

Both shared a laugh and seeing the clock strike 5:45 both of their's mouth hung open in shock 😨😱 and literally ran from here and there to get dressed up.😝

And nandu wore the dresss which she found in the almirah.

Nandini's Outfit

Her Hair and make-up

Alia's Outfit

Her Hair and Make-up

Alia silently sneaked out of Nandini's house that time and seeing here and there she reached backyard of Nandini's place and she  mumbled in fear " Sir "

And we can see that a figure was standing in the dark facing his back.

"What did I say to you huhhh ? " 🤨 He spoke

"To not let nandini be in any doubt or confusion." She shivered in fear

"Regarding what ? " 😡
His voice threatened alia to jump back a little due to the harshness in the man's voice.

"Everything Sir " she closed her eyes hearing his sharp yet dangerousness his  voice showed.😔

" Then why the mistake ? Huh ? Can't u control urself with garlics ? Huhhh ? Why this f**king carelessness ? " 😡😡
Now the man lost his cool.

"Next time this won't happen Sir . " She mumbled as her tears threatened to come out.

" Mistake in Nandini's case  , leading her to any confusion in you and confronting you js the last thing i will ever want.
So Forgiveness only for this time. Not next time. You got it ?" 😒🤨
asked man authoritatively.

" Yes sir." 😔
and she bowed a little.

And the Man left in a jiffy, disappearing in the dark.

And alia went inside and both of them went for the party.

Alia's POV

I can't do anything now which will land me up in any punishment and further dangerous consequences.
I have to be careful now.

Nandini's POV

Today i will get to see Manik.

Nandu don't mess this up now.

This chance of meeting him officially won't come again and again so just buckle your confidence if he talks to you.

And a shy smile adorned her face thinking her would be conversation gonna happen this evening.

Both the girls reached the cafe and the party was held at the big yet beautiful backyard which was now illuminated with lights like 🌟 stars everywhere , scented candles were just so soothing compelling the people to close their eyes and inhaling the aromatic scent.☺️

Time passed like a snail. As Nandini's eyes were constantly watching the entrance , obviously waiting for manik.

And making nandini wait no more , manik entered the backyard.
The area surrounding manik glowed more for nandini as manik looked at her.
His deep brown eyes just captivated Nandini's eyes and she too Loved the feeling of his eyes looking at her only.

Manik's Outfit

Soon the host of this party took the charge and unfortunately it broke many eyelocks  , looking at nandini , she blushed and seeing his effect on her manik smirked as everyone's attention is on the host.

Host - Good evening Pretty ladies and Charming mens over here.

Everyone chuckled at his different start.

Host - So as we all know today at the event of our Cafe's anniversary we all are gathered here.
So let's just enjoy the party tonight.

And all the youth hooted in excitement.

Host - But, but, but... Let's start today's party with a couple dance . What do you say guys ?

And again all the people over there cheered in excitement and slow music started making the environment more  romantic.

As manik started taking steps towards nandini and she started counting her own heartbeat as it increased with every step manik took 🙈.

Manik cleared his throat and stood near nandu and alia .

"Can i have the permission to make our current moment more beautiful ?"
And he extended his hand

"Huhhhh ?" And she looked at him confused.

"I mean by dancing with you ? May I ? " He mentally slapped his head by being dumb and confusing his Love.

Nandini blushed and looked at alia and alia looked little surprised at her as she felt herself to be so lucky that she's asking her if she could go with him or not.

"I have no problem nandu. Go ahead. "
Alia smiled.

" Don't misunderstand Miss saxena. I wasn't asking you. I wanted u to look after my little bag ."  😂

She whispered to alia and her smile was soon wiped off her face.

Manik heard this and laughed inwardly as both manan went to dance.

" Itne bure din aagye kya ? Ki bag ki chaukidari krni padd rhi hai ? "
Alia complained at her fate. 😝

As soon manan went on their to dance , manik pulled nandini little towards himself and held her one hand and her another hand automatically went to his shoulder.

And a shiver ran down nandini as she looked at her favourite eyes , deep as ocean and intense as hypnotising.

Both smiled at each other.🤭

Manik came little close to her face enough to not make her uncomfortable.

" Hi " he too started unknowingly what to say.

And she hummed looking at him and he grinned at her.

" She's still an introvert to unknown people and extrovert to the one's she knows so well. My Nandu "

" Isn't this night getting more romantic now ? "
He smirked seeing her blushing face again hearing this.

" Well music has it's own magic . "
She whispered.

" Then what about me ? " 😉

" I don't know you much , manik "

Hearing his name after a while long day felt years to him.

" Then we can know each other if you want so... "
He trailed off as he got little nervous unknowing of her reaction.

" Ok "

And hearing her this reply he twirled her and she banged on his chest making it difficult for her to look into his eyes.

" So I'm manik. Manik malhotra. "

"I'm NANDINI MURTHY. Well i wanted to ask one thing to you . Can i ? " 😬

" Don't be so formal nandini "
he chuckled a little.😁

" Hehe. Ok. Well where do you work ? I have always seen you most frequently coming to the cafe. "

" Nandini. I dont work anywhere. I give work to others."

" Oh manager? "😅

" No"

" General manager ? " 🤔

" Still no nandini" 😛

Nandini pouted.🙄

Don't nandu .

" So u work on top level ? " 🧐

" Ummm... Yeah keh sakti ho "

" Chairman ? " 😐

And he giggled again nodding no.🤭

She asked some posts and he again replied in a No.😒

And then both ended their dance and walked a little away from the crowd

" I lose manik. U only tell now . What's the exact designation of URS ?" 😣

" Well I'm the owner of the Malhotra  Empire. Naam toh suna hoga shayad "

😲😲😲

Manik waved hands infront of nandu.

"Huh ? " 😬

It feels so embarrassing now nandu. Feels like hiding somewhere. Nandu thought.

" Woh i didn't knew and asked silly questions to you " nandu nervously smiled.

" Hey it's fine. No need to get Embarrassed "

He's totally a mind reader. Now I'm sure.🧐

And we were so engrossed in talking that we didn't see our surrounding.

We both looked at it and sat there looking up at the sky and soon I felt his hands on mine , he still was watching the stars and soon I realized his face near my face from the side.

We both looked at each other and he spoke

" Nandini I want to say something. "

I blinked and hummed in response for him to continue and he was going to continue but stopped as we heard some sounds from the bushes behind us.

😟😟😟😬😬😬
