Next morning Nandini woke up first. She opened her eyes to feel something hard beneath her. She lifted her head a little to see Manik sleeping soundly. She smiled and realised that they moved in together last night.

To start the day she decided to get up and get ready for college till the time Manik wakes up. She carefully removed his hand from her shoulder and came out of his grip. She got down of the bed and yawned.

She stood up and stretched her body to relax her body from morning laziness. She yawned again and her eyes fell on the curtains. She walked towards it and pulled the curtain. Flash of sunlight hit her eyes and for a moment she turned her face towards her left.

Then she looked around and saw the garden below their room and smiled. Just then she felt a soft touch and a faint voice extremely close to her ear.

Ma-I love you.

Nandini smiled at it and after a min she turn around and saw Manik standing just behind her. She put her hand around his nape and he locked his hands around her waist.

Nan-itni jldi uth gaye tum ?

Ma-hhhmmmm.....to tell you that aaj se tumhari har subha aisi ho hogi.........

Saying this he yanked her more close to him along with tightening his hold on her.

Ma-get ready baby........from today your life is going to be heaven.........till our last breathe.

Nandini giggled and Manik frowned while she said.

Nan-deadly combination........

Ma-what deadly combination?

Nandini sucked a deep breathe and said releasing it with same intensity.

Nan-monster creating a heaven.

Understanding her words Manik said.

Ma-ooohhh.......

And then he made the cute childish face.

(His expressions)

Nandini smiled at his cuteness and then said.

Nan-on a serious note.......I don't need a heaven........I am already in my personal heaven.

Saying this she eyed at his hands around her waist saying that he is her heaven. Following her gaze Manik understood her words and smiled.

Ma-now that you have said beautiful words don't you think we should be rewarded.

Nandini frowned while Manik leaned on her to lock his lips. Seeing his face cmg close to her Nandini realised what will happen so she immediately palmed his lips and moved his head back saying.

Nan-brush kiye bina?

Ma-haan toh kya hova.

Nan-noways........

Saying this she came out of his hold and said gathering her hair and rolling it for a bun (but not making a bun)

Nan-let me tell you first only. Though we are together but the most important thing is we will have some rules in this house......and that has to be followed......thoda bahut adjusting is okay in rules but no breaking it at all.

Listening her Manik made his hands in what position that came naturally and also frowns on his face. He never expected such things so he came to her in big strides and said standing beside her as Nandini was making their bed.

Ma-what rules madam.........here we are to get all mushy mushy and tum bol rhi ho rules....... seriously?

Listening him Nandini too frown and stood straight stopping her work in mid and said.

Nan-Manik mei cleanliness ki baar kr rhi ho.......

Hearing her Manik realised it after sometime and then his facial expressions got calm so he said cool-ly

Ma-ohhh that........thank God.

Nan-haan but that includes this also.....no kiss before brushing.

Ma-huh?

Nan-yes and I am very serious for it.

Saying that she again started making their bed while Manik was finding words to say her but then he remembered her words and said with a smirk.

Ma-koi nhi rules adjust kr skte hai na.......toh hum bhi adjust kr lenge.

Nandini didn't listen that and got up as she was done with her bed making work. She looked at him and said.

Nan-pehle mei fresh hone ja rhi ho than you go.

And she headed towards the washroom before Manik could say anything. Manik was still standing there and saw her walking away. Nandini entered in the bathroom and after a min came back as it is.

Manik was abt to sit on the bed but stopped seeing her cmg out so soon. He stood up again and asked her as she was walking towards him with a bad face.

Ma-kya hova?

Nan-I realised that we have nothing.......forget abt the toothpaste hamare pass toh hamare brush bhi nhi hai........

Manik to realised and said.

Ma-haan.......tum apna purana brush nhi layi?

Nan-nhi.......mera dhyan hi nhi raha for that thing..........tum.

Ma-tum itni careful bandi bhul gayi mei toh ho hi bhulakad mei kaise lekar aata......

Nan-hhhhmmm ryt........ab?

Manik thought for a moment and then said.

Ma-kuch sochta ho.....

Nandini hhmmm and said.

Nan-think mei niche jaati ho and make breakfast.

Manik too hhhmmmed as he was in deep thinking. Nandini came down in kitchen to make breakfast for them. She opened a cabinet to find it completely empty. Then she realised that they have nothing mean nothing for their survival except from the house.

She was disappointed and came out with a bad face. At the same time Manik came down to her to say something but seeing her disappointed face he asked in concern.

Ma-what happened...........?

Nan-hamare pass toh khane ko bhi kuch nhi hai.........hum kya khayenge.......

Manik realised that though moving in together is easy but to run a house it needs lots of efforts. He was not afraid to start from the start but ryt now in the heat of moment to move in they forgot abt their cmg mrng. Both were silent for sometime but then he said after setting the schedule.

Ma-ek kaam krte hai college mei ya fir cafe mei breakfast kr lete hai.........

Nan-haan lekin waha jane k liye we need to change......get fresh and shower.

Ma(thinking)-I know.........

After a min he said.

Ma-idea........mei justdial se number nikalta ho na for a pharmacy or general store woh log home delivery kr dege for toothpaste and brush.

Getting this idea Nandini's face lighten up a little and she said.

Nan-perfect.........tum saman manga lo tab tak mei aaj k liye humare kapde nikal kr rkti ho bag se.

Ma-okay........mera phone upar hai so I will just get it.

Saying this he moved but was stopped by Nandini.

Nan-aaaiiii ruko........

Ma-ab kya.......

Nan-muje bags upar shift krne mei help karo.

Ma-haan chalo.........

They came towards their bag and Manik touched her one bag and was abt to pick it up but Nandini stopped him saying.

Nan-nhi woh nhi.........woh abhi k liye important nhi hai........yeh wali.....

Pointing at the another bag. Manik touched that to pick up but then Nandini's eyes fell on his tall bag just like him and again stopped him.

Nan-tum ek kaam karo........

Manik looked at her while Nandini continued.

Nan-tum apna hi bag le lo.........bahut bada hai.......mei mera le leti ho.

Manik left her bag and picked up his bag. Nandini followed him but taking her bag. With great difficulty Manik dropped his bag at the doorstep of their room and came back to Nandini to help her who had climbed half stairs coz of bag.

He holded one side of her bag handle and Nandini holded the other side and both together reached their room. Nandini told him to directly place it on the bed and both together did that.

Nandini opened her bag and started finding a suitable pair of clothes for today. Meanwhile Manik took his phone and dialled to just dial. As the phone connected Manik said.

Ma-I need the number of any medical shop or general store in the locality of Bandra.........

And then he gave some detail of his house locality. He received the reply that soon a message will be sended to him with numbers. Manik ended the call and looked at Nandini's direction who had dragged his bag till bed and the bag needs to be put on the bed.

He came to her and picked up his bag along with her help and they together placed that on the bed. Immediately after that Manik was interrupted by the msg tone of his phone as an indication that he have received the msg from just dial.

He left Nandini and picked up his phone to see a list of name of shops with numbers. He was going through that when he heard Nandini saying.

Nan-nahane ka sabun aur shampoo bhi manga lo.........

Ma-kaun sa mangao........

Nan-arey abhi k liye kuch nhi manga lo........

Ma-you say muje zayda pata nhi hota hai abt all that.......

Nandini huffed and replied while opening his bag.

Nan-lifebouy soup aur head and shoulders manga lo........

Ma-aur......?

Nan-toothpaste and 2 toothbrush.

Ma-okay.

Manik dialled the chemist number and Nandini opened Manik's bag to remove his clothes but looking at his bag Nandini fisted her hair. Manik placed the order for their required things and gave the address. He came back to her and saw her holding her hair so he asked.

Ma-kya hova........?

Nandini looked at him and then said in tiring tone.

Nan-mei cleanliness ki baat kr rhi thi aur yahan toh tumhara bag hi.........

She left the sentence incomplete and Manik looked at his bag. He looked at the bad condition of his bag and made an 'O' face. He made an apologetic look and said to her in a meek tone.

Ma-woh excitement mei........meine aise packing kr di........

Nandini looked at him and didn't react. She looked at his clothes which had creases and she showed him his tshirt and said.

Nan-aise creases wale kapde pehoge tum....... you know we have nothing........

Manik too thought abt it and said.

Ma-hhhmmm.......I just didn't realise abt today's morning thing.........otherwise hum sab preparations kr k aate.

Nandini too agreed to him coz even she didn't think abt this morning so she said accepting her negligence towards the house.

Nan-even I should have cared abt it.

Ma-it's okay........aaj ka din manage krte hai fir kaal se........

Nan-hhhhmm........tumne sab saman manga liya.......

Ma-haan it will take 15 mins to come.........

Nan-thik hai.........

Ma-come let's sit.........

Both sat down and then Nandini said.

Nan-Manik......mei aaj college nhi jati ho......bit thoda shopping kr leti ho........choti choti cheezein bhi count krege toh kitna saara saman hai jo hume chahiye........n for a time being Chachi k pass se thode bartan le leti ho.......jab mei naye le aaogi toh woh unko return kr dungi.

Manik thought abt it and then said.

Ma-thik hai........let's go..........

Nan-tum bhi chaloge........?

Ma-yes........it will be fun.

Nan-thik hai........toh after getting ready hum chalte hai.......aaj khane peena ka saman le lete hai.......

Ma-okay......

They were interrupted by the door bell and Manik got to receive their things as they know it's the chemist coz no other person knows abt their address.

Manik came down with his wallet and opened the door. He received their things and paid for it. He came to Nandini with the things and said to her gvg that.

Ma-hume atm jana padega for cash withdrawal.......

Nan-hhhmmm........waise tumhare pass towel hai........coz I have just one......

Ma-nhi mei towel toh nhi laya........

Nan-toh tum mera ghila towel le loge.......

Manik was thinking so Nandini said.

Nan-aacha tum naha lo pehle........muje ghila towel chalega.

Saying this she handed him her towel and soap, shampoo and toothbrush and paste and Manik headed towards bathroom. He came back soon and Nandini got fresh. Done with that they took their house keys and headed towards their destination.
