Nandini Shekh is daughter of Wazeer Shekh daughter, the day she is born, meteor shower happened, whole sky filled with stars like shinning diamonds, showers on her, and beauty which she possesses made those diamonds sparkle. She is eye sore beauty, a beauty which can possess everyone like moth towards fire. Incredibly beauty.

She is never allowed to go out without burkha and hijab, her mother never allowed to meet strangers or even any visitors, she always makes her stay in background. She is scared that her beauty may make people do crazy things.

As time flew Nandini beauty too grown, her big round eyes with thick eye brows, those pink chubby cheeks, her soft and plump red lips, sharp jaw line, most importantly her thick pich black curl long hair add incredible beauty to her, with a perfect body.

Nandini mother Gulzar always recite prayers for her protection. Being a royal family, she is mend to be fought for, but Nandini is someone who is already bethroned to Khans, very long back. So Gulzar is extra cautious.

Nandini is given good education, along with good habits and morals. Being shy and kind hearted she is always bound to obey to her mother words blindly. Actually she strong willed and stubborn girl. She is most pampered girl in house of Shekh.

Nandini had four elder brothers and two elder sisters. She is youngest one. Everyone in family treat her like a sensitive glass doll, and she is one too. Especially her father. He loves her a lot and pampers her a lot.

Today is her second sister Heera Nikha, everyone are busy, Nandini too, she is looking after cake preparation, she is with special baking chef, he is been called from New York Madison lee's cakes, she is worlds best cake baker, her cake art is something to be cherished. Nandini is incharge to check it. She has to sit and watch that's her duty.

Nandini is extremely engrossed watching how cake is getting decorated, her face is fixed on cake. She smiled with each piece of art done on it, when it is completed she like a toddler clapped happily. Madison and her assistant smiled happily.

"Nandini you are here? Come let me help you to get ready" her elder sister Reshma called
"Aapi look how beautiful cake is"
"Wow really Heera will love it" she really liked it.
Reshma took Nandini with her to her room, "look how tired you are, go take bath till then I will arrange everything" Heera said
"Aapi you are looking so beautiful" Nandini hugged her happily
"Really?" Heera blushed
"Wow that blush makes you more beautiful" Nandini said with smile,
"Choti! Go go soon we need to get you ready soon" Reshmi said in worry, all her bhabhi too came to help girls.
"I don't want to bath, I will just wash my face morning I had bath nah"
"Choti go please for me" begged Heera as they know how sometimes she is lazy and will become cranky soon, she with her big eyes looked at her and with pout left to washroom, everyone felt relief
"Allah shukar hai she listened if not today we are gone" Rashmi said
"Yes! Today her in laws are coming and she is looking so tired and dull" all agreed
"Heera let us make things ready things if not she will just walk like that" Rashmi said in hurry.
Both girls started helping her to get ready, she like good girl sat playing with her mobile.

Gulzar came checked all the ladies, she gave everyone instructions and came to Nandini, "choti! Today you will be my very good girl, you will never remove hijab, never go near to men section, you will maintain your smile and when I introduce you to anyone you will do addab and smile, when your in laws comes to meet you be polite and address them properly, will you my Pari?" She asked lovingly.

Nandini looked at her mother and nodded "ji ammi! But what if they don't like me?" She asked with her batting eyes.
Gulzar laughed "they are very eager to take you away with them already just that your abbu and this sisters and brothers of you are not letting that happen now, so forget about it"
Nandini nodded ok
"Choti don't think much they will love you" her elder bhabhi said
She smiled a little
All looked worried instantly
"Nandini dekh! You are our Pari, Allah as blessed us with you, so everyone will instantly fall in love with you in one moment, your smile is enough to make them puppies" Heera said
All laughed, Nandini too.

"Arey yaar ammi! What are you all still laughing? Nagma did you check on ladies hall once again?" Her second brother Hurram shouted in stress
"Hurram! Stop stressing everything is arranged well and we are ready to atleast look at us and tell who is beautiful among us?" Elder bhabhi Sanjeeda asked
Hurram looked at everyone "wow ladies today tho kayamath anawali hai kya? You like like models" he whistled
"What a sweet talker you got Nagmadi" third bhabhi kasak said, all laughed
"Ok ok everyone come on get to work" Gulzar said
Hurram came to Nandini, he recited verses and blowed air "mahfus rahna, be careful Pari, don't be clumsy I can't check on you today, be with children ok?" He said softly she smiled and nodded

All came down along with Heera, ladies section and gents section are been allotted separately. A Royal wedding is happening. Guests were around thousands, whole place is packed. Everyone present are total high society people with fame name and riches. Nandini like scared bunny, sat aside with all her nephews and nieces playing some chits.

""Phuphho I need to use washroom now" little Naseefa said showing urgency. Nandini got up, took her hand "guys you play we will come soon don't make noise ok?" She turned and said to all, they nodded she left with Naseefa

Nandini took her to near by washroom and stood outside, suddenly out of nowhere a voice came, she turned and felt like hit by a rock, and bounced back when she is about to fall, a strong hand held her elbow tight and stopped from falling
"No don't send that file we will do it later" said that male voice looking at her, Nandini too looked up,

A tall well built sculptured handsome hunk with sharp jaw line which can cut a stone with its sharpness, those deep dark brown eyes, looking at her in shock or May be something else she don't know, she got scared, she lowered her eyes

"Chood humare puphhoo ko aap" said Naseefa taking Nandini hands away, he left
"Stay away from her if not I will poke my pencil in your eyes" she said with attitude
"Wow damki? Seriously?" Man said with amusement and smile
"Yes" she turned to Nandini while dragging her away said "let us go phuphoo he is bad guy"
"How do you know that?" Man asked laughing
"You touched my phuphoo which is not acceptable, you are laughing at me so you are bad guy if my daddu knows this he will kill you, if my abbu knows that he will make you to go to hell so stay away from her" this time showing finger she said

"Naseefa!" Nandini warned "sorry! She is bachi muhaaf kijiye hum me, Thank you for helping me"Nandini said and took Naseefa hand started to go
"Yeah Allah did I just come to jannat? As I witnessed some Pari now" man said
Nandini stopped her track for a moment with tightening grip left in hurry she hates such comments and such incidents always.

"Naseefa don't tell anyone now please unnecessarily things will spoil Heera Aapi Nikha so" she begged
Naseefa looked displeased. Children in Shekh family are well trained to protect their choti phuphoo since they turn five, and Naseefa among them is furious one, she always carry bad temper like her Daddi

When Nikha time came Nandini sat with her family elders. Laughing at everyone comments and jokes. Qubool hai words said everyone started celebrating, Nandini too.

When everyone settled after congratulations, Nandini mother took her to a lady, "Pari she is Anna Jawed khan Manik Miya ki ammi" she introduced
Nandini with nervous did addab "addab ammijaan"
"Masha allah Aapi bachi tho Noor hai, she turned so beautiful" she kissed Nandini forehead with adoration
"She is growing soon"
"When can we take her home Aapi? I am desperate, you know I don't have a bachi, all men at home I am so fed up waiting for my beti"
"She is still kid Aapi"
"May be but I am really desperate"
"Nandini, how are you beti? Are you taking care of you?" She asked
"Yes ammijaan, how are you and abbu?"
"We are good, you abbu is always busy with boys, I am alone at home when you come we will go on lots of shopping we will do matching always for every occasion and Eid"
"We will Ammijaan" Nandini smiled
Both talked for a while forgetting everyone talking on lot of things, Nandini felt so close and dear with her.

When it's lunch time, Nandini took her to diner place, served her while eating Nandini father along with some people came in asking permission, Nandini covered her face except eyes nothing is seen

""Addab khan biwi, hope you are doing well" he greeted Manik mother
"Ji bhai shab, how are you"
"Good, pari come here, meet them, this Jawed khan saheb"
"Salaam walikham Abbujaan" she greeted
"Salam beti how are you?"
"Allahmulidhin fine Abbujaan"
"Pari this is Manik miya" her father said
Nandini eyes suddenly went wide as no one informed her about his arrival and she is specifically nervous about him "Salam" she almost whispered
"Salam" he greeted in husky tone
Nandini didn't dared to look up her eyes are on floor as if it's only thing existed in this world

They all are talking, Nandini stood by her mother, holding her hand tightly, not even glancing up once.
Manik and Nandini never met before, though they got engaged long long back that is twenty years back.

Khan and Shekh family used to be rivals from ages, five months before Nandini birth an incident happened, khan family struck in a car, in accident, Shekh and his wife are returning from hospital after check up saw this, they saved khans, Manik is just two years boy then.

Jawed got extremely injured, Shekh helped everything, kept his family with his family till jawed is perfectly fine, khan felt overwhelmed, he gave us promise to Shekh "if you have girl baby, she will be mine, my daughter, she will be my Manik's property, you will cherish her with life till I take her back" he said giving some khandani jewellery and a piece of land to her as miher, Shekh too agreed.

After that every Eid they will send family gifts and Nandini will get precious things. Sometimes couple visits her, but children are not allowed to see each other till they are grown up. Manik is been sent to London for studies. Nandini is been in Dubai, as all Shekh family completed their studies in Dubai.

Today finally they met but she is extremely shy and nervous, Reshma and kasak came to Nandini
"Salam walikum" they greeted all, holding Nandini each side, she felt relax.

"You again?" Little Naseefa said with anger, all elders looked at her, "Naseefa behave" Gulzar said warningly
"Daddi! This bad guy saw phuphoo and commented some jannat" she complained
Manik and Nandini both looked at her in shock and then each other
Manik smiled broadly, Nandini turned beet root
"Naseefa first greet elders" kasak said to divert the topic, she with annoyed face greeted everyone and left in anger.

Manik:
Manik is elder son in khan family, he completed his MTech and joined in automobile company, which their family owns, he is handsome, popular, witty, headstrong, ice cold man.

He is very popular among female population, his dressing style and his personality is must to die, specially when he is half naked after his foot match, girl drool.

Manik is decent person, hates girls as they impose themselves on him, those sluty eyes make him feel like an object, he feels uncomfortable, he never let an girl near him, his father told him about Nandini when he just entered puberty. Then on Manik is curious about her.

His mother always praises her beauty, which raised his expectations high. Whenever Eid comes, he will secretly put his gift along with others, though his mother knows she never spoke about it.

One such gift is a small nose ring, with single line chain to hold till hair, which she is wearing it now, but covered

Manik always dreamt of meeting her, he even tried few attempts, but his parents strictly objected, today when they asked him to attend one of their friends daughter marriage, he denied but his mother persisted, he eventually gave in.

When Manik got ready in one of his signature style black shirt and pants, his mother dragged him back and got him ready in traditional sherwani and Chappel, he got annoyed, extremely irritated.

After reaching venue, Manik eyes popped out, he felt anxious and excited. His eyes started searching for her, when he accidentally met her at corner corridor, she didn't cover her face, but hijab is present. He felt she is someone came from jannat, but that little girl acted so indifferent, Manik felt odd, though it's cute.

Nandini voice gave him goosebumps, but he felt guilty to feel such for some random girl, in heart hoping she might be the one he is searching for. Manik enquired about the beauty, everyone said single thing . Shekh youngest daughter is an angel, khuda must have accidentally sent some one from jannat to earth. She is such rare beauty. He felt extremely proud and almost confirmed that she is the one. His Nandini

The word his, felt like intimate word to him, his body became warm instantly. Manik never felt such before this moment. His gaze fixed on her,

Nandini hands are sweety, she could sense his gaze on her, those eyes which she looked at few moments back are giving her nervousness now.

Nikha happened happily, family gather after sending all guests, Manik family too present.
"Shekh Saab! I know that I am making things in hurry but understand us, humare begum Sahiba is giving me very tough time, we are desperate so..... why don't we perform engagement, so that I can eat peaceful daily, she nags a lot at dinning table" he complained genuinely
All laughed
"But she is still bachi," her youngest brother said
"She will be always bachi for you Rahmad miya" Manik mother said,
"That's true" her father said "engagement? What do you say Hukum?" He asked his wife
"We need little time for preparations"
"We too need, let us fix some date, then we both can plan everything combined" proposed Manik mother

After long discussion engagement is fixed in  two weeks. Manik felt little relaxed, he desperately want to see Nandini, totally not in this covered layers. Only for himself.

When elders are busy on random stuff, Manik came to children greeted them, they all too greeted him politely except Naseefa, Manik smiled at her attitude. "Is Nandini too as her?" He questioned himself.

Nandini brother  Badshah came to Manik, he engaged him in talks but Manik desperately want to see Nandini and talk to her atleast for some time.
"Bhai can I talk to Nandini?"
"Do have any thoughts? May be any doubts about this marriage?"
"No no never why did you ask such?"
"See you nervous I felt, if you have any such without hesitation please say it now before fixing anything, so that we can maintain harmony if not no one can save you later nor let family rivalry"
"Bhai no,since ten years I am desperate to talk to her see her"
"We brothers too got  trained from last ten years"
"I too," Manik said with attitude
Badshah looked at Manik, he felt annoyed "she is fragile shy and most important she is just bachi so stay away from her"
"She is mine don't forget bhai, Amanath hai humare" he reminds
Both are ready to kill each other, sudden laughter sound made them losen up little. Composing both turned gaze
"I will protect her hamesha even from myself too trust me" Manik tried to convince understanding her brother
Badshah took deep breath, "I know but...... understand"
"Trust me I understand" Manik said sincerely

Nandini is sitting in her garden with a book, she is now relaxed, her racing heart, anxious mind calmed, she removed make up and jewellery, changed dress, she is salwar kameez, white one, silver bangles, and heavy silver neck piece too. Her Jaipuri jhoothe dupatta covered her hair, ghumke silverware, just nose piece is gold and pearls one,

She is reading her literature book, favourite one.
She is so much engrossed in book that she didn't listen someone coming,

Manik after getting permission, came outside and then climbed steps to second floor found a balcony filled with plants, it's her personal garden, her brother said. It's filled with climbers, mostly jasmine, then some roses, their is a julla big one, a person can sleep, next is a table with a bottle of water.

Nandini is julla, with a book, white dress silver jewellery made her look like an angel, her hair is left lose but covered by dupatta, eyes only on book, hand holding a peacock feather, lips pout, one leg pushing hard to swing and other one is straight in air.

"Allah! How can he say that? Is it not haram? Does he even love her? Uffff why do I get tears? Aapi is correct I should stop reading such emotional stories,
Dil tutt jaa thi humare"
(Heart breaks)

"Hum ise hona nahi denga" manik said
(I won't let that happen)

Nandini when heard a strong male voice, she looked up, swing became forceful, which made her hold the chain tight, air blow forcefully her dupatta flew away, her breath hitched, she dropped book and stopped the swing, stood up, her bangles, Payal made beautiful sounds.

Manik felt as if he is in some fairy tale, he is hero and she is that beautiful fairy came specially for him.
"Masha Allah! Khoobsoorat hai aap"
She blushed covered her head and about tie it to cover her face,
"Don't......... let me admire this beauty little more"
She stopped
"Can I take a picture?" Manik asked politely
She stood still, he clicked on, how many he didn't cared.

"Please have seat" she offered standing a side, so that he can sit on julla.
Manik came sat, "you are so beautiful that I have mind blockage, I forgot what to talk"
She bit her lip, frowned
Manik frowned "did I say something wrong?"
"Beauty fades oneday janab, what is their in it? If you only admire my beauty then ..... I advice don't do this Nikha" she said with brimming tears.
Manik hissed as if he felt some pain, "I agree, that doesn't mean I can't admire your beauty?" He questioned
She for a moment stood still, "May be you can, ..... I need to know why do you want to do Nikha with me?"
Manik smiled he came to ask same question, but he is not prepared for the same question
"Parents gave promise so I have too, at the the age of 13  I felt, then at puberty because she is so beautiful I will, then when entered college and experienced girl drilling she is not such but if she does I feel proud, then when college completed I need to earn to take her responsibility and give her best life, next she is only one with whom I have to walk with till Allah gave me opportunity, next aap humare aadath ban chuka hai, what does she like? Will she like this dress? Will she eat this food? Is this room too small? Can she get accommodate here easily? What is her favourite colour so that I can colour my room? Will she share room with me or should I give her own room? Will she like me? Does she understands me? My anger and attitude? Am I over possessive? Do I suffocate her? This is how you became a part of my brain then my heart so I don't know which one I should give as a reason"

Nandini is awestruck, she is same as him, every moment she too thinks same from her childhood, it became part and parcel of her life

"You became a part of me unknowingly when how why I too don't remember, May I too made it in you?

Nandini bit her lip, "shall bring something to eat and drink?"
"No! Lunch was lavish, even had tea with your brother, can I have your number?"
"I don't have one I never felt use of it till now, landline number you know I think"
"0!!!! So..... literature? Do you write too?"
"Sometimes I fill papers, automobiles?"
"Yes what is your favourite car?"
She smiled broadly "I love walking peacefully, cycling sometimes, cars are just liability equipment to give me a ride sorry I know we don't match but I am honest."
Manik pressed his lips into thin line "ok!!! We have big lawn we can go for cycle rides and walks, your own garden is beautiful, May be I should try this"
Nandini is silent.
"What about you?" She asked later
"I love speed, cars, bikes, food ball, travelling too"
"That I can"
"Which is your favourite place?"
"Kashmir" she replied "those beautiful mountains and ice, jannat"
"Ok we can go for honeymoon to Kashmir then"
She turned away from him, blushing
Manik smiled at her shy, "are you planning to avoid honeymoon?" He asked in horror
She instantly turned and said "No no I didn't say that"
"So you will come to our honeymoon?"
"When did I deny? Of course I will"
"Kashmir confirm?"
"Yeah confirm" she said confidently
Manik smiled, she is taken back little at his smile frowned then when she understood his trick she widened her eyes and blushed

Manik laughed "so be ready for honeymoon already"
She now want to runaway "I think someone is calling me" she turned to go he called "suniya  are happy with engagement?"
She nodded her head, "can tell me not just nodding"
"Yes" she with blush said
"What is your favourite colour?"
"Golden yellow, yours?"
"Till now black but on you? May be pink green blue May be orange soots you a lot"
She nodded again.

Manik observed her more, his eyes fell on her nose pin, his smile grow broad, he is happy.
"Phuphoo!!!! Daddi is calling you and that mean uncle is missing" she shouted from distance came running to her.
"Naseefa shut up" Nandini scolded her.
Manik smiled "ok let me introduce myself choti Pari Naseefa, I am Manik your phuphoo"
"Phuphoo?" She raised her eyebrows
Manik liked her attitude and her nature to save his Nandini made him amuse more "yes your phuphi would be husband"
"You mean Manik Jawed khan?" She said in surprise
"Yes so you know me?"
"Yes phuphoo Salam I am sorry I didn't know it's you, she never showed me your photo"
"Didn't she?" Manik asked mischievously "does she have one?"
"Do you phuphoo?"
Nandini nodded no "I don't have one"
"Then you should take one now, if you like me if not it's ok I will send something better one" his smile grew as he saw blush on her cheek.
"She don't use mobile but I have one let me take one photo. Waise you look handsome phuphoo" Manik smiled looking at Nandini

When the photo session of Naseefa going on all children came started taking various stills, he is patiently giving poses to them,

Worried Badshah when came to check on them found Nandini sitting in corner Manik giving weird poses to little gang they commenting and taking pictures, he laughed loud, soon all came up listening this, Manik is standing in titanic style alone, everyone started laughing
"Don't laugh guys rescue me" Manik said begging
"Don't move" shouted a boy while taking pictures
He stood still
"Ok now ddjl style Sharukh pose"
Manik stood such

After Gulzar shouting all kids ran away, Manik family had dinner and left. After that they didn't meet till engagement day, on stage, Manik gifted her a mobile she couldn't refuse.

Mobile gallery is filled with his photos, Nandini smiled seeing them. On stage Manik made her smile always with his silly comments on guests or things going around, sometimes romancing.

Things are moving best until a tragedy happened, Nandini sister Heera died suddenly in an accident, she was pregnant, whole family is in devastated stage, Nandini mostly. She is very much close to her sisters, they are her mother, as her mother is always busy with family, they both took care of little Nandini as if she is her child,

She cried cried and cried till she became like a ghost. Reshmi tried her best to console her but she couldn't. Manik family came to meet family, Manik came to her, seeing her in such halat his heart shrink
"Utto Pari! Go and wash your face"
She didn't listen, he with at most care and love took care of her for months to recover her from that tragedy.

After one year Manik and Nandini got married, Nikha was beautifully arranged, everything picture perfect. Manik took her to Kashmir as she wanted. After taking rest they had dinner, when it's night, Nandini dressed in very simple white kurti and kameez, hair tied in bun. This simple look took his sanity, which girls in bikini couldn't, he declared that girl having shy and blush are most dangerous than girls showing skin. He felt loosing.

He when reached her and started to suck her neck, he didn't even realise, he removed her kurti, her butter soft blossoms, her shiny skin, that dark red bra gave him goosebumps, his pants became extremely uncomfortable, he couldn't wait, he kissed her body madly, when he felt he had enough he looked at her and kissed madly, she is naive and inexperienced, but stood still accepting him.

"Are you comfortable?" He asked
She nodded "Aapi showed me some videos so that I can have an idea what happens here" she spoke softly with shy eyes.
Manik pecked her lips "good but it pains, can you endure it?"
She nodded
"Are you feeling anything?"
She bit her lips, "yes my stomach is funny"
Manik smiled he didn't stop, he with utmost care entered her, making her scream in pain and panic too, but he kissed her passionately to make her forget about her pain, when she settled down he showered his love to her in actions.

Kashmir trip is best trip they had, they spent two months, Manik felt jannat, her care love passion and beauty everything made him content.

Life for couple is simple and cute, Nandini daily enjoys with her mother in law, they play games, gossips, shops, dress up, sometimes cooks, go on short trips,

Manik is extremely jealous of his own mother, he always make sure she stays by his side and match with him at parties and Eid, he grabs her attention by doing somany naughty things publicly. She always pouts.

They had cute boy four years later, life filled with joy for Manik with his Nandini beautiful Nandini, only his
