Manik arranges the two cups of coffee in the plate and a beautiful bunch of white orchids (Nandu's favourite) and moved towards their room. Yes their room.

Flashback

After dinner Manan were sitting silently on the shore. Nandini was sitting between Manik's legs leaning her back to his front and her head rested on his chest. Manik was hugging her and kept his head on hers. Both were just absorbing each other's presence. They didnt need words to express their feelings to each other. Their silence spoke volumes. After a long time around 3:30 Nandu spoke

Nandu: Manik

Manik: Hmmm

Nandu: (cutely) Manik ninni a rahi hai.

Manik went all aww on his cute Shona

Manik: (hugging her more tight) Achha? Mere Shona ko Ninni aa rahi hai?

Nandu looked and cutely pouted nodding her head.

Manik couldnt stop himself from pecking her pout leaving her blushing again. Seeing her blush Manik again got lost in her. His intense gaze send shiver down her spine. He got up and picked her up in bridal style and walked in. Nandu was looking into his eyes which were showing immense love for her. She didnt ask him where he was taking her. She just trusts her man more than herself. Yes, her man.

He took her inside the house to a room. She looked around and recognised it to be his room in the beach house. Ooops.. Their room.

He placed her gently on the bed. Nandu looked around to see that the room was so changed. He had changed it to make it a perfect 'their room.' According to her tastes.

She looked at him to see him looking at her ever so intensely. He leaned forward to her. She closed her eyes feeling their proximity. He leaned to her lips and wishpered just above them

Manik:(hushkily) What are you doing to me Shona?

And he captured her pouty lips.

After few minutes they broke the kiss and he moved to her neck giving soft kisses. He was so drowned in her soft moans that he didnt realised when he started moving towards her cleavage but Nandu's hands stopped him. He gained his senses and looked at her lying with closed eyes and her hands holding him tightly and realised what he did just now. He felt very guilty and got up quickly. Feeling this Nandu also got up opening her eyes and looked at him who was not meeting her eyes. Nandu immediately hugged him from back and tightened it pressing her face to him.

Nandu: Manik please dont feel like this. Its not your fault. I know you love me a lot. But I just... I dont know... I ...

She started tearing up. Seeing this Manik turned and hugged her.

Manik: Shona its okay. And I am relly sorry. But dont worry. I know how you are feeling. I promise I will not come close to you till you are comfortable. Now dont cry. Lets sleep. Tumhe ninni aa rahi thi na.

Nandu smiled and hugged him. Manik lied down in the same position and slept hugging each other.

Next morning Manik got up first adored his love for sometime. Then he moved out to freshen get coffee for his Shona.

Flashback over.

Manik entered the room to see the cutest scene.
Nandini was sleeping the pillow tightly and snuggling into it to save herself from the sun rays that were peeping through the curtains. But as all her tries were going in vain, she was make highly adorable pouts. Manik chuckled at her expressions and kept the tray on the side table. He sat beside Nandu and leaned on to her to kiss her forehead.

Manik:(soothingly caressing her hair) Shona. Jaan uth jao. Dekho subah hogayi.

Nandu: (Leaving the pillow and snuggling into him) Sone do na Manik. Mujhe bahut neeeeeeend aa rahi hai.

Manik: (smiling at her cuteness) Par Shona aaj tumhara birthday hai na. AnjuMa bol rahi thi ki tumhe mandir jana hota hai.

Listening to this Nandini slowly opened her eyes. She looked up to see Manik adoring her. Shesmiled widely and got up.

Nandu: Good morning Manik.

Manik: Good morning Shona. Ye lo tumhari coffee aur (forwarding the white orchids) ye tumhare liye. Navya ne kaha tha ki tum apne har birthday pe orchids se apna room sajaati ho.

Nandini smiled and put the orchids in the vase on the sidetable. Manik looked at her confused. He had brought them for her room.

Manik: Par Shona ye to tumhare room ke liye tha na.

Nandu: Han to ye bhi to mera hi room hai na.

Telling this she took her cup and started sipping coffee leaning on Manik. Manik was surprised yet very happy at her this action. They finished their coffee in silence in which Manik was time to time pecking her temple and Nandu had a constant sweet smile on her face. Then Manik asked her to get freshened to which Nandu forwarded her hands to him as if asking him to pick her up. He raised her eyebrows asking what

Nandu: (cutely) Mujhe brushy karwao na.

Manik was taken aback by her this wish. Nevwrthless he happily picked her up and took her to the washroom. He made her sit on the slab and made her brush her teeth with lots of fun. He was constantly admiring his cute bachha. After brushing Manik bowed down at her

Manik: (dramatically) To aur kya adesh hai mere liye jahanpana?

Nandini: Umm. Abhi nahin. Abhi tum jao. Mujhe fresh hona hai.

Manik: Par Madam, ab brushy maine karwa diya hai to bathy bhi main hi karwadun?

Nandini blushed at his bold statement

Nandini: You are such a pervert. Cahlo niklo yahan se.

She jumped off the slab and pushed Manik out of the washroom while he was all the while laughing loudly at her face.

After sometime Nandini came out fresh as a flower and saw Manik was not there in the room. She saw a parcel kept on the bed. She picked it up to find a beautiful dress and matching accessories with a note.

Jaldi se taiyar hojao Shona. Mandir jana hai. Phir ghar mein sab hamara intezaar kar rahe honge.

Nandini smiled and got ready.

Manik was waiting for Nandini in the hall. He suddenly heard footsteps and looked towards the stairs and his breath hitched.

Nandini was looking breathtaking. He got up in trance and walked towards her. His intense gaze was making hershiver. He went to her and kissed her forehead wishpering in her ears

Manik:(hushkily) Are you planning to kill me Shona?

Nandini: (smirking) Is it working?

Manik: Completely.

They both burst out laughing. Manik stopped laughing and put his hands in his pocket to take out something. He took it out and showed it to Nandini who was surprised.

Manik: This is for you.

Nandini:(surprised) Its so beautiful.

Manik: Not more than you.

Nandu blushed.

Manik: So may I?

Nandu nodded and pulled salwar a little up. Manik kneeled and put her foot on his knees. He made her wear those abklets with all his love while she was just looking at him.

Soon both reached the mandir. They removed their shoes and walked inside holding hands. Nandu put her chunni on her head. They went in and stood in front of the idol. They closed their eyes and folded their hands to pray.

Manik pov

Bhagwaan ji. Aapko to sabkuch pata hai na. To aapko ye bhi pata hai ki Shona ka asli gunehgaar kaun hai. Please bhagwaan ji use pakadne mein hamari madad kijie. Meri Shona ne bahut kuch sehliya hai. Par ab aur nahin. Main ab uske aankhon m3in ek aansun nahin ane dunga. Yeh mera vaada hai aapse Bhagwaan ji. Mujhe pata hai ki wo aapki favourite hai. To aaj main aapse bas yahin pray karta hun ki aapki iss favourite bhakt ko hamesha khush rakhna. Please koi aur dard uske paasna ane mat dena.
