Manan were lazily fallen on the couch and munching biscuits as they were very hungry. Both were quiet and looking nowhere. Suddenly Manik's eyes fell on their shopping bags and he huffed tiredly and then said to Nandini.
Ma-hum yeh sab saman kaal rakhenge........I am not doing anything now........
Looking at his tired posture Nandini said.
Nan-thik hai.......don't do it.......but sirf fridge on kar do......otherwise butter melt hojayega.
Ma(lazily)-hhhhmmmm.......
After finishing the biscuit Nandini got up and started finding something in bag. Manik was just looking at her and out of curiosity he asked her in between of her search work.
Ma-kya kr rhi ho tum?
Nandini didn't reply anything coz she got what she was finding. Manik saw her picking up a box and other thing and walking in kitchen. 2 mins later he heard the sound of running water.
Soon Nandini was out in front of him with a glass of water for him. She had washed it and got it for him coz eating the biscuit had become very sweet for them and they need water.
Manik drank the entire glass in a go and gave her the glass back. Nandini took the glass from him and kept it in their kitchen and came out soon. She looked for the butter and cheese bag to keep it in refrigerator now coz it was lots of time now. She took the bag after finding it and said to Manik before heading in kitchen.
Nan-chalo fridge chalo kar do then you sit.
Manik huffed in tiredness while Nandini walked away without waiting for him. She kept the bag on the kitchen table and started removing everything from it. In btwn she yelled to let Manik hear.
Nan-MANIK........AAO NA.....
Hearing her Manik got up lazily and headed in kitchen. He came and looked at the entire thing. Plugged the socket on the board and on the switch.
After that Nandini opened the fridge and roamed her hand in the air of fridge to see if it is cold or not while Manik said.
Ma-abhi toh start kiya hai........itni jaldi kaise thanda hoga........
Nan-hhhmmm.....
But still she kept the butter and other milk products in fridge so that if will freeze back by it's with passing time. After this Manik walked out of kitchen and went upstairs. He entered in their room and removed his jacket throwing it on the bed.
Then he removed his shoes throwing one in north direction and other in south. Nandini after doing all that closed all the windows as it was evening time. She switched on the lights of living room and then stood at the front of the bags thinking and fixing her schedule in her mind.
She was in a fix that if she should work a little now and complete the work tomorrow coz her work doesn't need Manik's help or should she take rest and let the things be. Still in a fix she came up to find the room empty but the washroom curtains were drawn which means Manik was using it.
She came and saw their bags still on bed with their bed disheveled unintentionally. In addition to that Manik's shoes were scattered on the floor with his jacket hanging half on bed and half down.
She huffed in tiredness and walked towards his jacket and straightend it. She picked his shoes the one which was near and at that time Manik came out of the washroom with water dripping from his chin. Both looked at each other and then Nandini said him in soft tone.
Nan-Manik aise juthe mat pheko ghir jaoge tum kabhi.........
Manik was trying to wipe his face from his tee so Nandini stopped him and got him her towel which was hanging in the room which they used in the morning.
Giving him that she kept his pair of shoes at one corner of their room for a time being and then came back to their bag looking at it again trying to decide something. Manik threw the towel at the single couch of their room and came to her.
Ma-kya dekh rhi ho........?
Nan-I was just thinking how will I complete all the work.........looking at this clothes I realised that we need hangers........otherwise how will I keep our clothes in the closet........and a rack for shoes........
Seeing her so much confused and tensed Manik said.
Ma-why are you worrying..........ab hume yahin rehna hai........slowly slowly things will fall in its place.
Nan-yeah but still.........
She thought of something and then said in determined tone.
Nan-let's start with at least something.
Saying this she picked out a comfortable pair of clothes and went in the washroom to get changed and fresh while Manik was going through his phone coz of work. Soon Nandini came out in a maxi type of dress dabbing her jaw.
She came to her bag and took her clip tying her hair upwards in a messy yet closed bun and then closed her bag. Manik looked at her and saw her trying to pick her bag to keep it down so he helped her and Nandini asked him to place both their bags in the closet.
Manik shifted their bags and Nandini made their bed and cleaned their room. She realised that she will need broom too for daily cleaning of the house. Which she forgot to get it today.
Done with that she came down and picked up the bags of the glass containers which she have got for filling the food grains and headed towards the kitchen to wash it as the dishwasher was already there.
She was washing that when Manik entered the kitchen and saw her busy. Nandini looked at him through her shoulder and then asked.
Nan-Manik dinner kya krna hai?
Manik too was confused of deciding in what he was feeling to eat. Thinking all that he said.
Ma-jo bhi hai let's order from outside.......you too are tired just don't strain yourself.
Nandini bobbed her head in acknowledgment and continued her work. Soon she was done with washing and all that was kept for drying. In the mean time Nandini shifted the food grain bags in kitchen and then she realised that the containers are wet and she can't put food grains in that otherwise it will get spoiled soon.
Thinking all that she decide to wash remaining crockery as well, at least as much as she can in tonight. So now she was shifting that bags in kitchen. Manik who had gone to get his phone to call for food came down to ask Nandini abt her wish and saw her shifting he bags so he fished his phone in his jeans pocket and helped her in carrying the bags in kitchen.
After that Nandini was removing all that from the boxes and Manik was looking at her asking her.
Ma-what you want to eat........?
Nandini looked at him thinking of what options she could have but then she said.
Nan-I m so much tired that kuch khane ka bhi nhi suj rha........
Manik thought of something and then said.
Ma-wanna try kfc........
Nandini thought abt it and then said.
Nan-okay.........
So Manik ordered accordingly and Nandini got busy in washing the crockery. Done with giving the order Manik came to her and asked.
Ma-mei kuch help kar do......?
Nan-haan removed those things from the boxes carefully and keep all the boxes at one side so that we can put these things over there to dry them........
Manik bobbed his head and started removing all the glass crockery carefully and shifting the empty boxes at one side of the kitchen.
Along with this he helped Nandini in passing the unwashed crockery to her and taking washes crockery from her and placing at the empty place to dry it.
They were interrupted after 40 mins by the door bell. Manik went to receive their order as they knew nobody could be there apart from kfc boy.
Manik took their order and paid for it. He came with the bags in kitchen to Nandini who was wiping 2 plates for them to eat. Manik bought the food in kitchen and helped Nandini in dishing out that in plate and filling their glasses with soft drink.
They bought everything in the living room placing it on the coffee table coz the entire kitchen slab was filled with washed crockery. Once done with that they sat on the couch and Manik filled both their plates.
Nandini looked at the chicken piece in her plate and it was looking yummy but she was hesitating to eat for 2 reasons
1.coz she was still not comfortable in eating chicken even when is yummy
2.she doesn't know how to eat plain chicken and doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of Manik with the chicken eating style.
So she was staring at her plate and Manik had already taken his first bite. While munching his morsel his eyes fell on Nandini's statue posture and he looked at her. He thought that she is still in confusion of chicken consumption so he broke a bite of fleshy chicken and bringing to her lips he said.
Ma-hhhmmm.......
Hearing him Nandini looked at him or say he was giving her a "go ahead" bob. Being confused she looked down to see his hand with chicken close to her lips and Manik saying to eat it with his hand.
Nandini parted her lips a little and Manik feeded her. She was chewing that and Manik took his another bite. Again he bought a morsel to his lips and Nandini had it from his hand.
After the second bite she kept her filled and untouched plate on the coffee table and reduced the distance btwn them to eat the food and Manik feeded her the entire dinner.
They had that with lazy talks and all. Completing the dinner they took all the used plates and glasses in kitchen. Manik washed his hands upstairs and Nandini firstly put all the bones and waste in the same bag in which was delivered coz she didn't have garbage bag plus she didn't knew at what time the person arrives to collect the garbage.
Doing all that she neatly tied the bag so that she can throw it tomorrow while going to college and placed that close to the sink. She washed their used plates and Manik joined her saying.
Ma-ab kya kr rhi ho tum........let's sleep chalo.........
Nandini replied still busy in washing.
Nan-bas 2 min......I'll just wash this.
Manik waited for her and Nandini quickly cleaned the plates,kept it for drying and checked the fridge to see if it working or not.
Fridge being empty was extremely cold. Lastly she closed the lights and Manan walked out to living room.
Nandini closed the lights of living room as well and Manik carried her in bridal style walking to their room.
They came up and laid down on bed. Manik had fixed the switch off their room one at the door and other close to their bed.
So he easily switched off the entire lights of the room and turned to Nandini who was dead tired. Manik had already removed his tee before cmg down to Nandini so he was bare chest.
Facing each other both looked at each other silently and then Nandini said caressing his ryt side face.
Nan-tired?
Ma-hhhmmm little bit..........ghar handle krna is so difficult na......
Nan-haan but once we will get settled toh it will be very easy.........
Ma-kaal college se aake thodi der aaram kr k we will clear everything..........
Nan-kaal kaise hoga.........muje toh thoda aur bhi saman lana hai........meine bola tha na hanger for clothes,shoe rack,broom aur aise choti choti cheezein..........
Ma-yeh sab baki hai........?
Nan-haan aur toh bahut kuch hoga na.......it will be like for a month at least.....ek nayi chiz yaad aayegi that we need that and by the end of the month 1 month ka food grains bhi finish hojayega toh fir food grains bhi chahiye hoga.........yeh cycle toh life long hoti hai........it goes on and on........
Ma-hhhhmmm.......never mind........until we are together this struggles is also beautiful and worth it........
Saying this he joined his palm with her's and kissed her knuckles making her smile. After a mini pause Nandini said.
Nan-mei soch rhi thi kaal college k baad I will buy all these things then you join me......shoe rack choose kr k hum sath mei aajayenge ghar pe.........what say?
Ma-okay......your wish........
Nan-hhhhhhmmmm.......what abt your album thing.?

Like this they talked for a good time and then slept hugging each other ending their tiring day.
