Nandini's pov

"Manik uthooo!!" I screamed in his ears

"Kya Nandini sone bhi nahi deti ho" He snaked his arms around my waist

"Manik it's 7am remember you have to reach the byre on time." I pinched his nose

"Oh teri!!"

He sprang up and ran towards his room, yes climbing down the makeshift ladder in the balcony.

I completed the morning rituals and straightaway headed towards the byre.

There Manik was standing in a all white shirt and white shorts. Was he planning to play holi over here? I suppressed my laugh seeing Amms coming from the opposite direction.

"Good morning Amms!" We all voiced together

"Good morning kids! So Manik beta ready for the task?"

He nodded

"All the best Manik" Navya showed a thumbs up

"Madhubala tum wish na hi karo toh acha hai.Ab pata nahi Manik ko kya kya jhelna hoga" Cabir giggled and was smacked by Navya thereafter.

"Amms aaj ka task kya hai?"I asked out of curiosity

"Nandu today Manik will milk the cows and then make kande "

"What's kande?" asked a baffled Manik

"Manik it means cowdung cakes" I clarified

"Ewww so Manik gonna touch those shits of cows" Alya made a disgusting face

I rolled my eyes  and remarked

"Alya they are not considered as shits but pure.We use them in our poojas too."

"Okay why so worked up Nandini? I said because Manik never did it,right Manik?" she turned her gaze towards Manik

"Yeah Nandini it's fine" He nodded

I don't know why was Alya so much concerned about Manik. She should concentrate on Dhruv instead.

"Toh Manik aaj yeh kaam sham tak complete kar lena "

"Yes Amms thanks for this amazing task."

We understood his sarcasm

Amms left followed by Vishnu Anna and we all were left behind listening to the mooing of the cows in the background.

"Manik All the best tu kar lega I know"

Cabir made his way out followed by Navya, Mukti,Abhi,Dhruv and Alya.

Why were they leaving now?

"Alya why don't you help Manik?" I cocked an eyebrow

"Umm Nandini you know Amms said not to help him and moreover I have some work as well." She spun on her heels and the clicking sound of her 4 inch heels could be heard even when she entered the house.

I rolled my eyes

"Guys why are you all leaving?"Manik frowned

"Yeah how could you leave your friend in need?" I added

"Sorry it's like I have an allergy to this and I guess rest are not interested as well. Plus Nandini I guess you both need some private time? Kyun Manik?" Cabir eyed Manik making me blush simultaneously

"Thanks bro ek tu hi smajhta hai mujhe" He hi fived Cabir

Uggghhh!!

"Oh okay no problem I am always there for my Manik." I stated nonchalantly

"So all the best bbye" Cabir waved his hand and left

"Manik now what are you going to do?"

He came near me,held my waist and pulled me closer with a jerk.

"Thoda romance thodi ---" He aimed for my lips.

Just then a cow mooed again

I stopped him with my hand

"Seems like the cows don't wanna enjoy the show." I winked and stepped backward

He glared at the cow as if he would pull her ears for disturbing his moment😂

"Manik I'll be back in few minutes till then you try to milk the cows. Be cautious they might kick."

"What? Nandini are you serious?"

"Hmmm"

"You better come fast."

"Haa Amms ne bulaya hai."

"Bye"

I wished him luck and left the byre.

After a good thirty minutes I was back and I was surprised seeing the two buckets of milk filled upto the rim.

Oh My God!! Who did this?

"I did this" Manik proclaimed as if reading my mind

"Okay par yeh sab kaise kiya tumne? I mean tumhe dekh kar nahi lagta you're pro at milking a cow." I crossed my arms over my chest demanding an answer

"Nandini don't underestimate your Manik okay" He gave me a wide toothed grin

"Care to explain Mr Malhotra?" I poked my finger on his toned chest

"Okay you want a demo? " I nodded

"I'll show you."

He went inside the shade and brought a headphone along with it.

"So yeh tumhara plan hai? You want me to hear songs over here?"

"Patience Nandini!!"

"Kk"

He went towards one of the cows with the headphone in his hand. He lowered a bit and placed the headphone over her head.

What was that? A cow listening to songs? Okay this is something that Manik could only do🙄

" Kya hua Nandini bolti band ho gayi?"

"No way wese yeh toh koi bhi kar sakta hai.Now show me how did she respond ?" I wouldn't let him win over me

He came up with a bucket, squatted on the floor and started milking the cow.

The cow was swaying its head according to the beats and Manik swiftly filled up another bucket.

Okay this was something I haven't seen in my life.

"So did you like my effort?"

"Wow I'm impressed" I joined my hands in clapping

"My pleasure Nandini" He winked

"Ek minute? She kicked you first, didn't she?" I arched my brows

"Yes she did, right on my nose" He pouted

"Aiyappa lagi toh nahi." I palmed his face for a trace of some injury.

"Lagi hai na bhut zoro ki?"  He lowered his eyes

"Oh God Manik couldn't you wait for me?"

"You took 30 minutes so I had to do something na?"

"Hmmm"

I touched the bridge of his nose

"Is it hurting?"

He nodded and next I kissed the bridge of his nose in an instant.I don't know how quick it was but I did it to soothe his pain. Then a stupid smirk formed in the corner of his lips.

"So you were faking huh?"

"No I did get hurt but mujhe nahi pata tha you gonna kiss where it hurts. Wese Nandini even my lips got hurt you know if you could ki----" he leaned and I knew what was coming

"Drama queen" I slapped his head  and turned on my heels to remove the headphone from the cow.

"Manik kon sa song play kiya tumne?"

"That song  tu  lagawelu jab lipstick hilela Aara district"

(Hear the song in media box😁)

"Manik tum bhi na." I rolled my eyes

He came near me and started humming the song. Headphone was thrown somewhere in the heaps of haystacks.

The song started playing in full volume on his I phone 7 and next he literally grabbed my waist and we turned. He placed my other hand on his chest. His other hand slipped into mine and then he made me spin around myself.

We did the signature ' Kamariya kare lap lop Lollipop lagelu' step swaying our waists with the beats.

We laughed,we giggled while dancing our hearts out amongst the audience of cows,the mute spectators

"Manik Thamma" a voice broke our "dance at the byre" moment

Manik left me immediately that I stumbled back seeing Vishnu Anna standing in our front.

Aiyappa what an embarrassing situation!!
