Manik was sitting at one side of Nandini's bed at the edge waiting for her and Nandini was completely unaware of his arrival. She took her time to bath and came out after feeling fresh and light weighted.     

As she came out she saw Manik on her bed. Since the lights were on she could clearly see him and Manik sneaking to her has now become normal for her that's is why she didn't freak out.     

When she came out she was dabbing her face water but stopped seeing him. She came little close to him and.     

Nan-hey.......    

Hearing her Manik looked at her and with that one glance Nandini could see that Manik is not okay. She came towards his left side and sat beside him (her arms touching his arms).      

Nan-kya hova.......?

Manik looked at her without blinking and both were quiet but their eyes were locked so Nandini could easily see his dry eyes turning wet,his chin wobbling and lastly tears flowing out. As his first tear drop flowed on his cheek Manik hugged Nandini hiding his face in her crook of neck.

Nandini wrapped her hands around his back with worry all over her face. She let him cry for a few mins while Manik's cries subsided after few mins. Once he was just sniffing Nandini parted themselves and then asked the most common question.      

Nan-kya hova........itna kyu ro rhe ho.....?

Saying this she wiped his tear which came out freshly from his eyes and Manik sniffed a big hard sniff to compose himself and then he told her everything that happened at mansion an hour ago. After hearing that Nandini said rubbing his back.      

Nan-toh tumne unse batameezi kyu ki....... unhone bola toh tumhe nhi bolna chahiye tha....... hum dono k bich k sach humare liye kafi hai...... we don't need to explain the world ryt........ pata hai hindi mei ek khavat hai....... kichad mei agar pattar phekoge toh kichad hum par ho udega.......in the same way jitna tum nyonika k sath argue karoge na woh tumhe aur pareshaan karegi........ab se don't so it........jab woh bole toh think as if tum ek college lecture mei stuck ho...... the teacher is speaking and you are free once the bell rings.      

All these words somewhat comforted Manik and Nandini took him in a hug. Manik relaxed in her arms.  

Breaking the most beautiful hug btwn them till date Nandini said rubbing his bisceps over the fabric.    

Nan-you are a good boy........    

Saying this she kissed his shoulder and Manik waited for her. Once she looked at him she headed forward to join their forehead's bringing a tiny smile on his face.  

Again moving back she said.   

Nan-pata hai jab koi rota hai toh unhe chocolate milti hai.......tum bhi ro rhe the na...... wait mei tumhe chocolate deti ho.   

Saying this she got up with her towel which was resting on her lap till now. She placed that on her study table and opened her cupboard. Manik was looking at her and he saw her moving things a little and finally he saw her pulling out a choclate bar. Nandini came beside him and gave him the big toblerone chocolate and again sat beside him in the previous position. Sitting beside him she said to cheer him up.     

Nan-tum bade ho na......(eyeing at his height)......toh tumhare liye badi chocolate .     

Manik chuckled and replied.    

Ma-wow.......justice Nandini ka great insaaf hai yeh.......    

Both smiled and Manik opened it seal. While he was busy in opening the chocolate Nandini rubbed her palm on his cheek on which nyonika slapped him. She was rubbing that as if she is removing nyonika's touch and feel from his cheek.     

Once he opened the bar he offered her the first bite but Nandini made him eat first and then had from that. Sticking close to him they completed their choclate and spended good quality time. After that Nandini asked him.      

Nan-ab ghar jaoge ya.......?

She left her sentence incomplete as rest was easy to understand to which Manik replied.     

Ma-itni mehnat se tumhari balcony chad k aaya ho......aise hi thodi na jaoga...     

Nandini didn't say anything and came infront of her mirror,combed her semi wet hair,prayed to God and finally came on bed where Manik was waiting for without his shirt. They settled on their sides of bed and laid down. Nandini closed of the lights and Manik slept holding her palm.      

Soon they slept. Midnight both were turning and tossing in sleep unaware of their position. In btwn Manik had placed his hand around the side of her waist wrapping her tummy. Around 3.00 am Nandini turned again facing Manik and Manik too was almost at the middle portion of bed due to their turning and twisting.     

Again after sometime they moved ahead and this time Nandini came in Manik's embrace. Manik was sleeping facing her and his left hand was laying straight just below the pillow and his ryt hand sticking to his stomach. Both were in deep slumber.     

Rolling around Nandini landed up in his arms. Her head was now resting on his left hand elbow and her left hand touching his ryt. To get some warmth she unknowingly snuggled more in him somewhat nuzzling on his chest midline.     

Feeling something ticklish Manik opened his eyes still filled with sleep. At the same moment Nandini too opened her eyes to see around. Even she was damn sleepy.      

Both looked at each other and realised their position but instead of moving away Nandini closed her eyes and sticked her body more to Manik's putting her hand on his back almost hugging him and slept in a blink of an eye and Manik in reflex of Nandini's snuggling wrapped his ryt hand around her back and he too slept in a second.   

Morning. Their most peaceful and warmest sleep was broke by the sound of Nandini's alarm. Both were not ready to wake up but the sound of alarm was disturbing them. Unwillingly Manik took the initiative to off it so he opened his eyes slightly to look at her phone and found it on her side table.     

He leaned closer to get her phone which made him get more close to her. Nandini snuggled more in him and Manik managed to get her phone and off the alarm. Both slept all over again but this time they were not in deep sleep. They were aware that they need to wake up and also they knew that they are hugging each other but still they didn't wanted to leave each other.    

Unwillingly after 15 mins Nandini opened her eyes and looked up at his face with his chin btwn her sight. She smiled and moved a little which is why Manik opened his eyes. Both looked at each other with love and pride having the best morning eye lock but before they could exchange words they were disturbed by Chachi who came to wake up Nandini.  

"Knock knock"  

Cha-Nandu......Tu uth gayi hai na beta.......tuje college k liye late hojayega.......jldi aaja nashta bhi ban gaya hai.......    

This sudden knock and then Chachi's voice made Nandini tilt her head jerkingly and after hearing her they both came into senses that Manik was in her room. Being panicked she moved out of his embrace and sat.

She yawned and rubbed her eyes when again they heard Chachi asking her if she is awake and was trying to open the door as the knob was moving continuously while Chachi commented.      

Cha-darwaza kyu band kiya hai.     

Chachi's non stop attempt was stopped by Nandini who yelled back to let Chachi hear.     

Nan-Chachi mei jag rhi ho........15 min mei aati ho........   

Saying this she got up to take her towel and clothes to get fresh and change. Hearing her Chachi said okay and left from there while Nandini rushed in bathroom and Manik too got up from bed yawning.      

They wished to spend the small moment of morning but Chachi disturbed them. Nandini came out with quick shower and started getting ready.

She told Manik to get ready and meet her down. She left from there and Manik went to take shower. Nandini came down and wished Chachi. She need to engrossing Chachi so that she doesn't go in her room. While Chachi asked her.      

Cha-darwaza band kr k kyu soi thi........?

Nan-kaal raat ko mei shower lene gayi thi na toh darwaza lock kiya tha..........fir baadmei mei so gayi toh darwaza lock hi rhe gaya.     

Chachi agreed to her and Nandini huffed hiding for chachi. Last night actually locking the door helped her today. After that Nandini saw that Chachi have made parathas was breakfast so she took the foil wrap roll and started packing parathas.     

She would roll one paratha and then cover it half with the foil wrap. She wrapped 5-6 parathas like that. Looking at that Chachi asked.      

Cha-itne saare toh tu khati nhi hai.......aaj kaise khayegi........     

Nandini busy packing the parathas in a rectangular tiffin box replied.     

Nan-aapke sone munde ko bhi dungi isliye.....    

Hearing sona munda will eat her paratha Chachi was very happy so she said.     

Cha-haan zarur khilana.........   

Nan-okay.......    

Stuffing the box in her bag Nandini hugged Chachi and left towards exit. In the mean time Manik took shower,got ready for college and then came at her balcony. His car was still parked there so he easily got climbed on the roof of his car again and jumped down. At the same time Nandini came and she signed in relief as Chachi will not be able to see him. Cmg to him Nandini said.     

Nan-let's go.......    

Ma-haan bas 2 min.......mei gadi park kar lo...... fir.......    

Nan-gadi park kar lu mtlb..........hum gadi mei nhi ja rhe hai.........?

Ma-nhi........    

Nan-toh?    

Ma-auto se...........     

Nan(shocked)-auto se........phir se........?

She would have mentioned abt last night but she didn't wanted to spoil his mood so she didn't say anything abt it while Manik sat in his car and then parked it at one corner of her residence area. He came back to Nandini and said.    

Ma-chalo..........    

Saying this he entwined their hands and started walking at the lane where they will get the auto. Today they walked a little and got the auto. Sitting in Nandini opened the tiffin box and offered him the paratha. Manik took one and Nandini took one and closed it.     

They started munching it as they were sitting in a relaxing position in auto. They ate and once it was done their fingers were slightly oily so Nandini gave him a tissue and then wiping their hands she kept back the box. After a while they drank water and finally reached college. Well today what happened is.      

Their rickshaw stopped in front of the college gate and just then behind them came nyonika's car. She was cursing the auto and their passenger to be illetrate and the driver was honking to let the auto move but then Manik got down and nyonika was shocked to see him again in auto and the driver stopped honking. Manik after getting down firstly saw the person honking like mad and when he saw clearly he found nyonika in the car.    

At the same time Nandini got down from the auto and nyonika fumed more in anger. She saw Manik seeing towards the car and then noticed nyonika. Manik paid for the fare having an evil smirk on his face, he took the worlds time to let the auto move so that nyonika could enter. Nyonika was just left to boil in anger.     

Paying the fare Manik entwined his hands with Nandini and proudly entered the college gate. They were walking at left side as if they are walking in some garden. Strolling and relaxing and also so that nyonika can pass out without disturbing them. Manik was happy not coz he teased nyonika but coz these small small things were gvg him peace. He dropped Nandini in front of her class and both headed to start their day.
