Chapter - 43

Location - Malhotra Mansion

Jhatak kar zulf jab tum tauliye se baarishein azaad karti ho; Accha lagta hai! Manik sang like a total new in town Majnu after coming out of the bathroom on seeing Nandini standing in their balcony and drying her wet hair with the towel. She blushed profusely with her kind of shy smile at his never ending romance; an attribute she loved to Pluto and back; but hiding it; she rolled her eyes and replied impishly Sudhar jayiye Mr. Malhotra! Ab aap daddy banney waley hain. Beholding her morning beauty and melting in it like a pillar of salt in rain; he walked towards her whilst engaging her mischief - filled eyes with his passionate ones; causing them to gradually turn mousy and making her weak in her knees. The blush she had just shrugged off instantly crept back to her cheeks; this time in a more darker and deeper shade; as he gently and effortlessly lifted her off the ground; cohering her fresh rose - like and lithe form with his dripping bare torso; and kissed her softly under the soothing shade of her damp silken tresses whilst breathing in her heavenly fragrance. Her hands balled up in his soaked hair on their accord to ruffle them and she smiled against his lips; on feeling the ticklish heat of his body transferring into hers and also on the way she fit perfectly in his frame; like the other half of a two piece puzzle; and then responded to his sweetest torture with equal fervor. The kiss was gloriously tender and slow yet so much intense that she clung onto his toughness for support in the dizzy swaying world around her and then suddenly realizing her delicate condition; he broke apart before they run out of oxygen and she smiled perceiving his gesture.

Joining his forehead with hers; he cupped her cheek with one hand while holding her securely with the other and said huskily; caressing the curve of her cheekbone with his thumb What makes you think ke I will lessen romancing with you just because I am going to be a Daddy. Na-ah! No matter what; even if I become a GrandPa; then also I will love you like this and turn you into a tomato. I can never get enough of you ever. Saying this he put her down and kissed her red cheeks warmly and then playing along; she muffled her arms around his neck and replied, shinning up on his feet and brushing his jaw line with her lips Just like I can't get enough of you. She paused and then continued; slithering her hands on his muscles and tracing his chiseled abs seductively and smirking sensing him shudder under her touch But Mr. Malhotra! Daddy's aren't supposed to be so hot. You should stop looking so sinfully sexy all the time. You know there are great chances of me loosing myself around you and what if this happens when we would have our baby around? Ghalat impression padega na. Returning her favor with triple interest, he mildly jerked her more closer; nullifying the already negligible distance; and whispered in her ear, sedately sliding his fingers up and down her spine and smiling feeling her quiver Don't you worry about that Mrs. Malhotra! Just take a step ahead and I will lead you to privacy. Am all and only yours. The hue that painted her face due to the thick red blood that slooshed upto her cheeks was crimson enough to put even the color Maroon on shame but fortunately or unfortunately; for Manik; it was one of those out of the common gold dust like moments when she would instinctively become a coquettish wife and flirt the hell out of him by heaping those rare and true praises on his well - knit and sculpted physique while acting all sensuous and so; instead of getting all inhibited like usual and despite having a hard time with his proximity; she nibbled his earlobe that drove a hiss from him and spoke gutturaly Only mine. And you don't need to lead me; I know how to get my work done. For a change; like those unaccustomed and recherche times that came correspondingly with her brazen behavior; Manik was flushing pink and gnawing at the poor lower lip of his but at the end of the day he is a Man; a swashbuckling virile stud having an aesthetic belle as his wife; and being that himself, he dusted off the ground; cohering her fresh rose - like and lithe form with his dripping bare torso; and kissed her softly under the soothing shade of her damp silken tresses whilst breathing in her heavenly fragrance. Her hands balled up in his soaked hair on their accord to ruffle them and she smiled against his lips; on feeling the ticklish heat of his body transferring into hers and also on the way she fit perfectly in his frame; like the other half of a two piece puzzle; and then responded to his sweetest torture with equal fervor. The kiss was gloriously tender and slow yet so much intense that she clung onto his toughness for support in the dizzy swaying world around her and then suddenly realizing her delicate condition; he broke apart before they run out of oxygen and she smiled perceiving his gesture.

And you don't need to lead me; I know how to get my work done. For a change; like those unaccustomed and recherche times that came correspondingly with her brazen behavior; Manik was flushing pink and gnawing at the poor lower lip of his but at the end of the day he is a Man; a swashbuckling virile stud having an aesthetic belle as his wife; and being that himself, he dusted off the blush and sunk his teeth into the flesh of her neck; after clenching her hair in his fist and tilting her head backwards. The moan and whine escaped her mouth in sync but still being clad in her voracious avatar, she pulled him back clasping his hair and rammed her lips into his like a hungry injured lioness and kissed him hard; chewing and nipping his lips that were reacting with equal urgency and dominance.

The vital element of life did peter out this time and hence for the sake of dear life; they pulled away; heaving and panting; and then he said, after catching up with his breath Main chahey jitna bhi try karlun. I can't hold back my desires for you. I have said a zillion times and saying it again; you are a drug Nandini. She smiled and replied lovingly, staring into his eyes You don't need to suppress Mani. And you should not even. Tumhari tarah; yeh frequent contacts are essential for me too. I Love You! Saying this; she pecked his smiling lips and again grabbed her towel to complete the dry - the - hair work but not letting her do so; he snatched the towel from her and hurled it across the balcony, directly onto the swing and then said, hugging her from back and nuzzling his face in her hair Mat dry karo na! Tumhare geeley baal mujhe bohot pasand hai. I Love them. She complied and then asked the question she herself din't knew why she had never put forth while he kept himself buried in her lank and luxuriant mane Manik! Maine tumse kabhi pucha nahi per I want to know ke why do you love my hair so much? Taking a break from his indulgence for a while; while as in a couple of seconds; he smiled and then answered, digging back into the lushness and also playing with them They are so soft; so breathtaking. Inki chaoun acchi lagti hai. I feel like duniya ki koi bhi buri cheez mujhe choo nahi sakti jab mein inmein chupa hua rehta hoon. Aur iske saath tumhari scent! Its so soothing. Duniya ka pata nahi per meri heaven yahin hain. Inmein. Tumhari khushboo mein. Tum mein. Behad sukoon hai yahan. I Love You So Much Shona! Very Very Much! She didn't speak further and just stood there; letting him revel in his peace and paradise while twinkling at his words and admiring his jejune side that he showed only to her.

They would've stayed in that position for probably the entire day if only his alarm - clock cum sub conscious mind wouldn't have kicked him saying 'Idiot! Its 10 A.M. She and the baby might be hungry!' and instantly heeding to the oh - so - poh-lite reminder, he swiftly scooped her in his arms and said, giving the answer to the question mark hanging above her head Khaney ka time hogaya hai baby! Sorry meri wajah se late hogaya. Just give me two minutes. I will wear my clothes. He reposed her comfortably on the bed; resting her spine on the headboard and keeping some pillows at the small of her back; and before she could even part her lips to speak; he summoned the butler on the intercom to get the food and when finally he moved towards the cupboard, she said making a pout Manik maine abhi teen ghante pehle toh khaya tha na. Phir se kiun? I am not in a mood. He pulled out a floral tee with white shorts and then replied sternly, shutting the wardrobe close and facing her Nandini tum janti ho every three hours ko kuch khana hota hai. And don't even try cribbing or blackmailing me with these cute pouts. They will only do one thing and that is make me kiss you. So be a good Girl. Saying this he walked into the washroom ignoring all the frowns she was throwing at him and giggling under his breath at her huffy puffy adorbs.

He sighed and geared up to manaofy his chotuness; after coming back after 5 minutes; who was sitting with disapproval written all over her face and then putting the task into action, he cupped her chin and said, turning her face towards him and pecking her lips Shona! You only said na you will listen to whatever I say. Phir aise kiun karrahi ho? Baby ko aur khudko healthy rakhne ke liye you have to eat na. Her lips fell from corners in a sad curve and then she replied I am sorry Manik. I know! Per mera bilkul bhi mann nahi hain. He smiled at her baby expression and said ebulliently, taking the plate of food from the tray Mann nahi hai toh banalete hain. Umm!! Yummy yummy Red Hot Sauce Pasta chalega na uske liye?? Her face lit up like a 100 watt bulb on hearing her favorite dish's name, seeing which he grinned but as they say; pregnancy ain't that, in fact, not at all easy; the heightened sensitivity to smell and messed up sense of taste attributes of pregnancy came into play and suddenly her favored meal whose aroma only could tantalize her to extremes; now reeked like a dead fish. As a knee - jerk response; she jolted away the spoon full of pasta he held near her lips and ran into the loo; followed by a worried Manik; to throw up the regurgitated whatever.

Tension knew no limits for Manik; who was standing hard by Nandini and rubbing her back incessantly; on watching her tossing her cookies with head dunked into the basin; and spewing out every minute particle of food that he had fed her. Finally; after about five minutes or so; when there was nothing left in her tummy to get puked; Manik washed her face with a bit cold water and cocooned her up in his arms as she was too woozy to even walk due to the all - inclusive liquid laugh. Himself seating on the bed; he ensconced her in his lap and very benignly cleaned her face; that was relaxed on his shoulder; with tissues and then asked, making her drink chilled water from the glass Kya hogaya baby? Aise achanak? Morning sickness? After she gulped down the liquid; he wiped her lips with his thumb and then she answered, giving a disgusted look to the dish that held the tag; until the very moment; of being her best - loved No Mani! This pasta is stinking to the high heavens! God! Yuck! Sorry but main yeh nahi khasakti. His nose scrunched up at her outlandish remark for her most - liked food but then solving this thing for him, the ingenious brain in his cranium flashed the contents of the web page he had gone through; that listed out the most early effects of gestation period; before his eyes and then zoomed to the third and fourth point that read 'overwhelming whiffs' and 'swingeing alterations in food preferences'.

After muttering an 'O.o' to himself and a thanks to the whip-smart and cooperative boss sitting inside and in the top most floor of his head; he snuggled her close and replied Sorry mat bolo shona! Mujhe pata hai iss waqt yeh sab hota hai. Jo cheez pasand hai ussey nafrat honey lagti hai. Koi baat nahi! Per tumne to sab kuch vomit kardiya. Chalo we will get you some other tasty food for you. Batao kya khaogi? Saying this he picked her again in his arms and she said, as they exited the room and began stepping down the stairs Bas fruits or doodh abhi ke liye. He mouthed an Okaye at her and then asked, making her sit on the dining table and taking some fruits; some as in apple, banana, orange, plum, peach, lychee and pear from the fruit basket kept on the table and strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, cherries, grapes, pineapple chunks and raspberries from the built - in refrigerator with installed juice dispensers of their dining hall; (Pun intended) to cut himself as no servant was around, while she gaped at the huge gathering of fruits beside her Baby tumhe cravings nahi horahi? Maine padha tha net per ke khatti, meethi aur bohot saari cheezein khane ka mann karta hai. Tumhe nai karraha? He asked so adorably while concentrating on paring off the apple peel that she couldn't resist pecking his lips and doing so and making him startle then smile; she answered Umm! Ek week se ho toh rahi hain craving! Chocolate ki aur orange juice ki aur choley puri ki bhi. Isiliye maine Chachi ko bola tha kal subah breakfast main banane ke liye. Aur you knw Gulmarg me I was literally guzzling chocolates. Mujhe laga shayad sardi ki wajah se horaha hai. Ab samajh aya kiun. He took a glimpse of her and then said I see! Wese ab ke baad tumhe jo bhi khana hai just tell me okaye. I will get it. She tittered like a baby and then replied puckishly, seeing his confused face Woh toh tum wese bhi laatey ho. Iss bar kya special hai? Main bas ice bolti hoon toh tum saarey ice - creams ke flavors laker samne rakh dete ho. Fruits kehti hoon toh poori fruit market hi ghar le aatey ho. Bol to aise rahey jo jese kabhi meri koi desire poori nahi ki tumne. He just smiled cheekily at her compliment wrapped in a blanket of taunt and then she asked, seeing him dicing the fruits Mani tum dice kiun karrahe ho? Utterly involved in his chore that too with quick movements; as he didn't want to keep his two babies' stomachs empty; he replied Sirf fruits se kuch nahi hoga na jaan. Toh I will just mix them together with some cream and dry fruits; like a fruit chat. Bohot saari energy milegi aur tum dono ko boring bhi nahi lagega. She smiled at how he was referring her as two; not disregarding the baby for even a second; and then said, reprimanding him for his overindulgent thoughtfulness that converted a simple demand for fruit slices into a fruit chat with heavy full cream and nuts Manik you are too much! Fruits kaha toh fruit chat derahe ho. Aiyappa! This boy! Kahan se laatey ho itni care aur ideas? Aur tumhe yeh banana kese ata hai? Being the lover - boy he is; he moved his face near her chest and replied in a silvery voice, after impressing a kiss over her heart and rendering her dumbstruck by his trick Yahan se! Yahan se I get all the care and ideas. She burned up and playfully smacked his arm on registering his yet another wheeze; making him chortle and then he rejoined Aur maine yeh banana tumse seekha! Ek baar dekha tha tumhe. And you know your husband right? I am a fast - learner. He ended up with some flaunting poses; broadening his chest and giving himself a tap; that did nothing but entertained her and she guffawed heartily at his comedy; the euphony of which made his heart dance and lips to stretch from ear to ear.

Mani! Ek aur bite tumne mujhe khane ko bola na toh .. toh main tumse baat nahi karungi! Huh! Nandini threatened in a low but firm voice; that came out struggling through the glob of creamy fruit salad that was crammed into her mouth; Manik who was hell bent on stuffing her to gills. He curled his lips and sneered; dropping another spoonful in her mouth, snubbing her ultimatum and smiling at her petulant look Jo cheez nahi karsakte uski dhamki bhi nahi dena chahiye Shona! Yeh toh baby ko bhi pata hai ke hum ek dusre se baat nahi karey esa possible hi nhi hai. Chumbling or to be precise; smushing the pulp out of the fruits; she made a moue and grumbled Manik! You make me soo angry! I hate you! He tee - heed (on the q.t) at the cutest angry face that; he was sure; could ever be and then said, finally giving in to her protest by keeping aside the squeaky clean salad bowl and cozying her more in his arms where she was nestled Jhoot nahi bolte Shona! Hawww! Baby kya sochega? She gave him a cutesy scowl with knitted brows and he continued Main kisika murder bhi kardunga na tab bhi tum mujhe hate nahi karsakti. Aur humne promise kiya tha we won't get mad at each other aur tum kabhi vaada nahi tod ti ho. So hui na tumhari baat jhoot. Giving up the pretense; knowing she could never win over him; and then replied, after heaving a breath and twisting his ear lightly Pehle toh baat hi nahi karte they! Jab seekh gaye ho toh mujhe hi chup karwa rahey ho! He simpered at her comment and was about reply but stopped hearing a car horn blaring which meant someone has come and on tuning into Chachi's chirpy voice that was instructing Rishabh to unload something from the dickey; they promptly moved away and oriented themselves in decent positions.

MaNan had already formulated a plan for breaking the news to the would be GrandParents and Uncle; just like they did for fab 4; and had also put it into practice by keeping some interesting hints as gifts for three of them in their respective rooms. Envisaging what would be their reactions and licking their lips over them; MaNan waited in the hall and at last, climaxing their anticipation; Chacha - Chachi and Rishabh came with their presents and 'Whats this?' etched on their countenances and then Chachi asked, showing the knitting kit she got Achanak se yeh tohfey kiun? Woh bhi out of the box? Mujhe oon aur needle; Chacha ko story book aur Rishu ko khiloney? Kisliye? Saying this they flumped on the sofas and after exchanging looks and smiles; MaNan too sat opposite to then and then Nandini replied Kuch khaas nahi Chachi! Wool se aap chotey chotey shoes, gloves, caps or sweaters banaker pehnana. Chacha aap is book mein se story sunana aur Rishabh tu in toys se entertain karna. Still muddled and clearly unable to get the innuendo; the trio asked in unison Kisko? Pursing her lips to suppress her laugh; Nandini replied in a casual tone Hamare Baby ko ofcourse! Jo ke eight months and one week ke baad aaney wala hai. Their jaws plopped down to the floor and eyeballs distended in shock + surprise at the thunderbolt news and after taking their own nice time to digest Nandini's words; the three pounced on them (MaNan) together with mist filled eyes and lingering smiles on their lips.

As soon as they parted; out of joy; Rishabh lifted Nandini up and exclaimed, swirling her in the air I can't believe this! I am going to be uncle!! Mamu!! I Love You So Much for this!! I Love You!! Everyone smiled at the bro - sis duo and after giggling at her baby brother's excitement; Nandini replied tousling his hair I Love You too Rishu!! Ab mujhe neeche utaaro!! The ebullient soon - to - be uncle shook his head in a no and said, latching his hands to firm his hold around her legs Naah! Tum ab alone nahi ho! Ab toh tumhe khudse hum chalne bhi nahi denge! Hai na Manik Bhai? Manik gestured the most patent 'Yes' with a big Cheshire Cat like grin and Nandini rolled her eyes at the one more addition to the members of 'don't let Nandini walk by herself mission and then speaking for her, Chachi said Accha Behna ke Bhai! Baad mein phir se uthalena! Ab utaar ussey neeche! Rishabh affirmed and placed her on the sofa and then Chachi said, after planting kisses on Manik and Nandini's foreheads Bohot Bohot Mubarak ho beta! Aur shukriya itni badi khush khabri debe je liye. Chalo ab batao ke shagun mein kya chahiye? Nandini din't say anything but Manik took Chachi's hand and replied, holding it between his two Umm! Chachi shagun toh nahi chahiye per aapse ek request hai. Yeh bohot hi nazuk time hain aur isme humein kisi badey ki supervision ki zarurat hai. Toh kya aaplog yahin rukjao na! Please! Unbeknownist to herself; a lone tear escaped Nandini's eye on seeing him imploring someone, going against his pride, just for the sake of her and their Love budding to flesh and blood in her womb but not willing to ruin the mirth; she promptly and furtively effaced the wetness and then Chachi replied, after getting a hushed approval from Chacha Please mat bolo beta! Hum yahin rahenge. Hai na Murthy ji? Chacha came close to them and seconded, caressing Manik's hair affectionately Haan Beta! Don't say please. Yeh toh hamara duty hai. Manik smiled and evinced his heartfelt gratitude and then Chachi asked Wese Nandu! Tere Dad ko batayi yeh news? Woh toh khushi ke maarey pagal hi hogaye honge. Hai na? Nandini made a sullen face on the mention of Mr. Malhotra and then Manik answered on behalf of the beloved daughter of her Dad Nahi Chachi. Woh actually Dad kisi international conference ke liye gaye huay hain ek week ke liye aur unse contact nahi hoparaha hai. Toh jab woh ayenge tab batayenge. Chachi just hmmed and then began another session of narration about how and when all happened and after chewing the rag on the hot - topic with trucks of enthusiasm; they had their lunch and then retired to their rooms for taking some afternon Zs.

The bright radiant sun had conceal itself behind the horizon; marking the onset of a balmy dusk that replaced the pastel blue color of the morning sky with elegant dark purplish heaven that held the Royale Moon with a family of glittering stars and plush pale clouds embedded in it. The melodious breeze that sweeped along the swinging trees tickled a sound asleep Nandini and she leisurely raised her lashes only to get bewildered by the unfamilar yet enthralling environment she was in; many superabundant bushes of red roses with tangled dim - lit fairy lights forming a fence around the curtain enclosed queen size bed on which she was lying abloom; under a quilt of white rose petals; and a bountiful lush green grove encircling the entire setup. Captivated by the dream - like scenario and frightened at the same time; the latter one on not finding him or any known figure around; she raised to her spine in one brisk move and called out his name but paused before doing it second time on seeing a dark red note lying aloof near her legs on the bed in contrast to the white surface. Grabbing it with quivering hands, she unfurled it and emitted a long audible breath that was stuck in her throat on seeing the message in his handwriting, reading:

First of all; Don't get scared. I am around you. As close as I have always been and also watching you reading this note. Just that I am not visible to you.
Now you might be thinking what is all this? and why all of a sudden? So let me tell you that all this is your Manik's way of saying ThankYou for giving the bestest news of my life. I know that we have a share in this like every thing in life but Baby its you who is carrying my blood and our symbol of Love and for this; you deserve a larger share of thankYou and you can't deny this. I also know that you will still argue over this per please let me do this; let me make you show how special and important you are to me once again.
Step out of the bed and Take a look of the most beautiful thing your Aiyappa had ever created.
PS : I have adorned you myself.
I Love You Love
She smiled and blushed over each syllable and every punctuation of the love letter and then following his direction; she brushed aside the petals from over her to get down and thats when she saw the white strapless and intricate ruche - designed silk and net Princess gown she had been clothed in. To take a full dekko of herself; she left the bed and moved out to where a tall mirror stood and became amazed on seeing herself bedecked so simply yet gorgeously in the Chapel gown extending almost to 3 - feet behind; her hair left open and accesorized with a one string diamond tiara and the only jewelry on her body being a pair of fine pearl earrings and a bracelet.

For a moment she wondered how she din't wake up even when so much was going on around but chucked the thought knowing his ace - ness in controlling her both voluntary and in - voluntary feelings and then her eyes fell on another note on the mirror reading:

'This One's for you Baby! I Love You So Much!'

She tried guessing what could it be and just when she had started doing so; a soulful melody played out of nowhere -

Do Play The song while reading

Ho ho ho o o wo ...
Wo oo wo ..
And next in time came his magical voice, crooning:

Karta hoon tujh mein din guzar main ..
Karta hoon tujh mein shab basar;
Karta hoon tujh mein hi sehar main ..
Jeeta hoon tujh ko dekh kar;

She Smiled at his Lyrics whilst still foraging the woodland for him

Dil tere bin thehra sa hai ..
Tu dhadkano ka hai safar;
Kaanton bhara har raasta ..
Phoolon ki hai tu rehguzar;

Suddenly; out of the blue (or Black); a path in between the woods mystically illuminated with in - jar candles placed along on the either sides

Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Jaan o dil ke darmiyaan hai, darmiyaan tu haan ..

She saw another note on the the first jar and plucked it to read:

'Walk in Please!'

Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Tujh mein hi dil ud raha hai aasmaan tu haan ..

Taking swelled and ecstatic heart and drowning into her favorite voice; she saved the note in her wallet and did as was said in the note

Ho ho ho o o wo ..
Saath tera jab se hai mujhko mila;
Waqt ki shaakhon pe hai har pal khila ..
Zindagi se ab nahi koi gila ..

Tears; of pleasure; trickled down her cheeks and into her smiling lips seeing the reel of pictures trailing along the right side of the path; of every step of their fairytale journey - from college days to marriage to the recent KarwaChauth festival

Jitna hai tu utna hoon main;
Naa kuch zyada naa hoon kam ..
Tujhse shuru hota hoon main;
Hota hoon tujhpe hi khatam ..

As she reached the end of the moderate upslope she was treading on; his voice stopped and a folded paper came rolling to her feet and she exuberantly unfolded it to read:
'Bohot baar kaha hai aur phir kehraha hoon; tum sab kuch ho mera aur tumhare bina main kuch bhi nahi hoon. You smile is my soul and you are my heart yourself. Main aur kuch nahi bas tum hoon.
Climb down this slope and You will find me.
Love You

Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Jaan o dil ke darmiyaan hai, darmiyaan tu haan ..

He resumed singing and her heart by all words and meanings; stopped beating on the sight of her picture; a larger than life size; created with rose petals and mini - lamps over the vast waters of the lagoon that had its bank on the lower side of and down the slope.

Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Tujh mein hi dil ud raha hai; aasmaan tu haan ..

She felt her head light and intellect shut down due to the whelming feeling gushing through her veins; at the extent and marvelness of his efforts. Her lips flickered like a candle in wind; her larynx unable to produce any word except the sound of her raced breaths and the subsequent second; contrary to her state that had been a few minutes ago; her heart picked up its beat from where it had left off and this time with doubled - up celerity on feeling his warm strong arms sheathing around her waist from behind and then he intoned; after kissing away her tears:

Maine tujhko is tarah se hai jiya;
Aandhiyon me jaise jalta hai diya ..
Ishq se har faasle ko tay kiya;

He turned her about to face him and continued

Jo the juda humse khafa lamhe wo saare kat gaye ..
Tum mil gaye banke subah jo the andhere hat gaye ..

He bent a little and lifted her up in the air and just then; springs of water erupted from the ground at the bank of the lagoon displaying I Love You in Lightwork

Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Jaan o dil ke darmiyaan hai, darmiyaan tu haan ..
Jaavedaan hai ishq tujh se; jaavedaan hai ..
Tujh mein hi dil ud raha hai; aasmaan tu haan ..

She was swept off her feet; both practically and psychically and unabe as well an unwilling to hold back any longer; she leaned in and fused her lips with his smiling ones. Toot sweet; he put her down and kissed her back passionately as her lips melded and moved in sublime rhythm with his; their hands entwined like their souls and bodies joined as one single entity.

I Love You too Manik! ThankYou for all this! Nandini replied to his umpteen confessions she had received; and smiling like he had heard it first time; he bussed her T - zone and then said Thank You So Much Nandini for everything! My life was just like this dark and lonely sea; and then you came and now you are giving me the only thing our life had been lagged of. Its just a small token of Love for you. Tumhe pasand aya? She hugged him and mumbled against his heart Bohot bohot pasand aya. He smiled and then taking her in a side hug started walking towards the next arrangement.

To Be Continued ..
