Laughters echoed through Malthora's mansion. Neyoinka shakes her head and warning Raj stood up and moves to kitchen leaving father and daughter alone. Raj and Mukti shared a high-fives and laughs out because they both out of nowhere decided to pull her legs. Mukti stops laughing and looks at Raj.

Raj also stops laughing and calls Mukti little closer who moves towards him and quietly asked him. He said something and they both starts laughing out like a mad people. They even heard Neyonika's shouting from kitchen. They both shared a look and giggles.

Raj stops laughing and looks at Mukti who kept looking towards the entrance while waiting for someone. He frowns and thought who might be coming this early on Sunday to their house.

Raj : princess why are you looking towards the door? Are we expecting someone on Sunday? I'm noticing past few minutes you are staring towards the door. Who is coming? Is it your friends coming?

Mukti diverts her gaze from the door and looks at Raj while passing a smile and then jumped happily when she heard the doorbell ring. She ran towards the door leaving Raj puzzled and wondering who is coming to join them for breakfast on Sunday.

Mukti excitedly opens the door and looks at Nandini who stood at the door with a smile on her face. She passed Nandini a smile and pulls her in a hug.

Nandini smiles and hugs her back and roams her eyes through the room feeling a warmth rushing down her body. She broke the hug and looks at her.

Mukti : hello Bhabhi. I must say you look incredible beautiful today. Bhai will go crazy if he sees you like this.

Nandini : hello Mukti. How are you? Thank you.

She smiles and blushed hearing Mukti teasing her. Mukti chuckles and asked her to come inside.

( Nandini's attire)

They both walked inside and Nandini smiles greeting Raj who stood up and returns the smile. Nandini bends down to touch his foot but Raj stopped her and shaking his head and side hugs her.

Raj : daughters in our family don't touch anyone's foot beta. Your place isn't down there but in our hearts.

Nandini smiles widely at him and nodded her head. Raj kissed her head and calls for Neyoinka who comes out of kitchen and looked surprised seeing Nandini. She smiles and went to hug Nandini.

Neyoinka : what a lovey surprise? I wasn't expecting this kind of surprise. If I know you were going then I would have prepared your favourite for breakfast. I'm so happy you came today. You should come to your home very often. I missed you so much.

Neyoinka broke the hug and cupping Nandini's face placed a kiss on her head making Nandini smile feeling so blessed and proud to be part of their family.

Nandini : mom! I will come very often here because this also my home. I'm sorry I don't inform you because Mukti wanted to surprise you all. And you don't need to worry about breakfast. I will have whatever is made today.

Neyoinka smiles and looks at Mukti who smirks. Neyoinka moves her to her and slapped her head.

Mukti : ouch mom! Why are you hitting me? What did I do? You are hurting me. I am innocent here.

Neyonika: I know how innocent you are princess. Couldn't you tell me about Nandini coming here.

Mukti : chill mom! This isn't last time where Bhabhi is coming. She said she will be coming here more often than why are you getting panicked. You can pamper your new daughter some other day.

Neyoinka rolls her eyes and glaring her looks at Nandini who smiles at them. Raj also chuckles and not wanting to be on bad side of Neyoinka stayed quiet while enjoying the dream by his daughter.

Nandini in between whole banters didn't fail to roam her eyes around searching for one pair of eyes that she longing to see since she entered inside.

Her heart looked restless as she looked around searching for him because couldn't avoid the uneasy feeling that she had since morning. She rent something bad was going to happen. Her thoughts were broken by Neyoinka who called her out.

Nandini : mom! Sorry! Were you saying something?

Neyoinka: it's alright! I know who are looking for. The one who you are looking for is still sleeping. Can I ask you to take his coffee and wake him up.

Her eyes widened in a shock as she heard Neyoinka whereas Mukti and Raj chuckles looking at Nandini. Nandini looked dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. She was stuck dilemma if she should go or not. Her thoughts were broken by Neyoinka again.

Neyoinka : are you okay Nandini? Will you go and wake Manik up? I would have gone but I have to arrange table for breakfast. Will you please?

Nandini looks at her and didn't have a heart to say no she simply nodded her head making her smile.

Nandini : okay mom! I'll go and wake him up.

Neyoinka smiles and patted her head lovingly and blesses her and after that took Nandini to kitchen where she quickly made the coffee and gave it to her. She took the cup and thanking her made her way out kitchen and looks at Mukti for help to lead to his room. Mukti nodded her head and took her upstairs.

Mukti : Bhabhi! After breakfast we will leave. I have already called Navya and Alya up. They will come straight there. Look there is Bhai room. You can go in by yourself Bhabhi. My job is done. I'll see you later.

She giving thumbs up ran downstairs without waiting for Nandini's reply. Nandini chuckles and taking a deep long breath looks towards his room before taking small steps steadily holding the cup.

Standing front of the door she thought of knocking but the realisation hits her that he might be still sleeping. She knew the door was not locked because Neyoinka told Manik has habit of leaving the door open. She took a deep sigh and pushing the door enters inside only to get amazed seeing the room.

She was absolutely stunned by the interior designs. She looked so proud of his choices. Her eyes roams around the room admiring the designs and adoring how stunning his room looks.

Her trance was broken by when she heard some mumbles. She shakes her head and looks at the bed where he slept with frown on his face. She smiles and made her way towards bed. She kept the cup of coffee on side table and sitting down she stares him.

Her lips curves into a bright smile as she watched him sleeping carefree with a small frown on his face. He looked absolutely adorable while sleeping.

She didn't know why she raised her hand up and wanted to caress his face removing the frowns of his face. Fighting between her heart and mind she finally gave up and began to caress his face softly.

His frowns automatically faded away making her smile to fullest. She sat there adoring his features. Everything about him made her insane.

Her cheeks starts to heat up as she looks at him with adoration. She couldn't resist herself from kissing his cheek. She didn't know why she did that but he looked so cute. She then looks at the time and thought to wake him up but didn't wanted disturb sleep so she sat there admiring the man who was bound to hers and who is making her drown in love.

She didn't know how long it passed while she sat there admiring him. Her eyes widened when he stirs in sleep and opens his eyes only to get shocked.

He didn't looked surprised seeing her because he was dreaming about in his sleep. He raised his finger and touched her favs making her look at him.

Manik : are you here for real? Am I dreaming!

Nandini chuckles and shakes her head while touching his hand that touched her cheek. His eyes widened as he comes out of his dream and realised she was actually sitting in his room. He frowns but then smirked him while sitting up still staring her.

Manik : how did you come get here? Were you taking advantage of me while I was sleeping?

Nandini: what if i say the truth? What will you do?

Manik chuckles and tucks her hair behind her ears and smirks before holding her wrist and pulling her closer making her almost land on his chest.

Manik : I didn't knew you were so naughty. I didn't thought this innocent face of yours could somethings like this. Who are you? You are not Nandini that I know. You must be someone else.

She chuckles and slapped his chest away and coming out of his hand picks the cup and gave it to him.

Nandini : think whatever you what Mr Malthora because I won't expose my little secret to you. Have your coffee before it gets cold then freshen up. Everyone is waiting for you. By the way good morning. You looked very cute while sleeping.

Manik :you meant to say hot Miss Murthy. It's okay. I understand your tongue might twisted. Next time think hundreds times before calling me cute because we both know I'm not cute not hottest.

Nandini chuckles and bites inner cheeks controlling the blush. She stood up and walks to window side opening the curtains allowing the sun brightness.

Manik puts the coffee down and got up the bed and moves towards her. He stood behind and calls her name out making startled and turning around she looks at him who moves closer and cupping her face placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

Manik : good morning sunshine. When did you come? You didn't tell me were you going to come. I could cancelled my meeting if I know you were going home. Now I have to go office leaving you home.

She chuckles seeing him sulking. She looks at him and tiptoes and ruffles his hair making him smile.

Nandini : I'm sorry! I didn't tell you but it wasn't my idea. Mukti wanted to surprise you guys. Why are you going office on Sunday? You have give yourself a break Manik? You can't be working on Sundays.

Manik : i know! I'm sorry but work is important too. I can't change my schedule. Maybe in future it will change. I have a habit of going to office during weekends. How come you here? Not that I'm complaining I fact I could literally wish you come here every day and wake me up. It's so bliss to witness your face first thing in the morning.

She blushed hearing him and looked down. He chuckles and lifts her chin up making her look at him. He cups her face and strokes her face.

Manik : you look amazing. You sit while I go and freshen up. I won't be too long.

She nodded her head and Manik kissing her head one more time left to washroom, whereas she composed herself and looks around the room.

Her eyes stops at his picture that hanged up on the wall that she didn't notice earlier. She made her way and looks at the photo while tracing it gently.

She looked so lost in his photo didn't notice when Manik comes out of washroom wrapped a in towel and smirks leaning against the door watching her.

He thought of teasing her so he clears his throat gaining her attention. She turns around and gasped seeing her him in a towel. Her eyes widened as she shouts only but stopped by Manik who ran towards her and palms his mouth over hers.

Manik : sunshine, why are you screaming? Do you want everyone to come and see us like this?

Nandini struggles to speak and glares him. He noticing her glares he moves his calm back and looks at him who starts scolding him.

Nandini : Manik! Why are you not wearing clothes? How could you just roam around in a towel?

Manik: why can't I? You didn't see clearly. I am wearing a towel. Do you want to remove that too?

He smirks and looks at her who was burst into in anger but controlling herself she pushed him and grabbing her bag she rushed out of the room.

He chuckles and shaking his head decided to get changed. While Nandini comes out of the room and stood by the stairs placing a hand on her heart and tried calming her heart down that was beating so fast. Her cheeks flustered so hard.

She composed herself and rushed downstairs and stayed calm while helping Neyoinka in kitchen.

Soon Manik comes downstairs ready in his office attire and looks at Nandini who shared a look with him and looked away when he winks at her.

Neyoinka : Manik, are you going office today?

Manik : sorry mom but I have to. There is urgent meeting arranged with Abhi. I can't cancel it.

Nandini looks at Manik and frowns hearing Abhi's name because she knows there is no meeting fixed between them as Abhi back in Murthy's mansion is sleeping like log turning his phone off.

Nandini (mind) why are you lying to mom Manik? My brother will kill you if he finds out.

Manik ( mind) I'm sorry for lying sunshine but I can't tell mom truth otherwise she will starts lecturing me and won't let me go. Please don't tell Abhi. He will eat me alive. I beg you. Please.

They both looked at each other and conveyed their thoughts while sharing a look. Mukti clears her throat breaking their eye lock.

Mukti : Bhai, Bhabhi much as I love you seeing you both like this but can please you stop it now and let us have breakfast in peace. I have to take Bhabhi somewhere. We are getting late.

Manik rolls his eyes and snacks her head while moving to dining table followed by others.
