Dropping Avni to hospital Neil returns back home and looks at his mother who sat in living room chatting with Bebe. He comes there and sits next to Neyoinka placing his head on her lap who smiles at him and starts ruffling his hair. He looks at Bebe.

He smiles at Bebe and took his phone out scrolling down his phone and smiles when he saw picture of their wedding pictures still having craze over the social media. He went to his account and checked his recent post and starts reading few comments.

His heart starts fluttering seeing how much love and blessing he received from his fans. He thought of posting a story. He smirks when something strikes in his head and giggling to himself he posted a story of him and Manik who fought over Nandini who stood in middle sulking seeing the siblings fighting.

He turned his phone off and looks at his mother and Bebe who was discussing about the trip to Mangalore. He was very excited because this would be first time he will be going there and couldn't hold his excitement so he starts joining in their conversation and expressed his interest.

Their conversation was interrupted when Neil's phone rang. He took his phone out and looks at the caller id and smiles seeing Manik calling.

Neil : hello Bhai. I have emailed you the work. Please have look it and let me know changes are required to be made. I will make the change before sending to the client. When are you coming home?

Manik : hello Neil. Yes I will have look at that. Can you please let mom know I and Nandini are not going to have dinner at home. I tried calling mom but she isn't answering my calls, also I have booked the tickets to Mangalore this weekend.

Neil : wow! You were so fast Bhai. Sure I will let mom know. Have fun. See you guys later.

They talked for sometime before ending the call and Neil putting his phone looks at his mother.

Neil : mom where is your phone? Bhai was trying to call you. He called saying that he and Bhabhi won't have dinner with us. I believe they will be having lunch out. And Bhai booked the tickets to Mangalore for this weekends.

Neyoinka : oh I might have forgotten my phone in the kitchen. I am so excited and looking forward yo Mangalore. I can't wait any longer.

Neil smiles and leans back looking at his phone and thought of going back to work. He looks at Neyoinka and softly calls her name out.

Neil : mom. I am going to be in my room. Can you please send a coffee for me upstairs?

Neyoinka nodded her head and Neil smiling at her and thanking her walks to his room and getting changed into comfortable clothes took his laptop and sat on couch completing his office work.

Tapping his foot impatiently and scrolling down his phone while waiting for his wife outside of the hospital looks up when he starts hearing soft whispers around him. He shakes his head and turns his attention back to his phone.

He snaps his head from the phone when he heard his wife voice. He looks up and his lips curves into a beautiful smile as she starts rubbing towards him. He puts his phone back his pocket and opens his arm out and Nandini crashed into his arms.

He smiles and laughs out loudly embracing her in his arms and dropping a kiss over her head. He broke the hug and cupping her face looks at her while stroking her face with his thumb.

Manik: how was your day love? Tiring?

Nandini : very hectic mani. Now that you here and finally we can go home and cuddle makes me happy. Let's go home. I am starving too.

Manik: should I be concerned? You didn't eat?

Nandini : I did have my lunch but seems like my stomach is not full. I can't go wait have food.

He chuckles and nodding his head opens the door and gestures her to get in. Mumbling a thank you she sat down and got comfortable while Manik closing the door went to his side and sat down.

Fastening the seatbelt he looks at her who was busy scrolling down her phone choosing the music.

Manik : love, do you fancy going to have Chinese or Italian? Anything else you want? I have no issue.

Nandini stops scrolling her phone and looks at him in shock as she wasn't expecting them to going to a restaurant but home.

Nandini : are we going to restaurant? Not that I mind. Honestly I was craving for Chinese past few days. Let's go to our favorite Chinese restaurant.

Manik nodded his head and starts driving to the Chinese restaurant while holding her hand in his and rubbing it softly making her smile widely.

Soon they arrived the restaurant and holding each other hands walks inside and took their seat before the waiter comes to serve them with a smile.

Nandini : Mani what are you having? Do you want to have dumpling or something else?

Manik: love. I am not sure. What are you having?

Nandini looks at him with a smile then shifting closer to him showed what she was going to have. He smiles and found it really interesting to know.

Manik then placed the orders and looks at his wife who looked really happy. He tucks her hair.

Manik : love, I have booked the tickets to Mangalore on this weekend. I have also messaged the rest of our friends and asked them to come to airport on time. It will be nice and good family vacation.

Nandini : wow! That's so good. I will let Amma know. I was so excited to go back home. I have so many things to show you there. This it will be different. we won't be hiding our relationship.

He chuckles and nodded his head. Nandini took her phone out and clicked a photo of him and posted it on her story then showed it to him.

Manik: it's really cute. Come a little closer. I will click photo of us then post it on my story.

She smiles and coming closer to his side and looks at his camera passing a smile and Manik clicked the photo of them and showing it her posted on his story.

Nandini chuckles seeing his caption and slaps his biceps and was about to move but he didn't let her move. She turns around and looks at him.

Manik : why are you going away from me love? Sit beside me . I don't want you to be far away.

Nandini smiles and kissing his cheek she sat there and starts telling him about her days while waiting for their food to arrive. Soon their food arrived and none of them couldn't hold any longer go dig in.

They both starts eating while feeding each other and talking. They finished the food and paying the bill walks out of the restaurant and Manik looks at her who starts shivering due to the cold.

He shakes his head and taking his blazer off puts it around her body and starts scolding her.

Manik : love you should always carry extra jacket. It can be get really cold at night. Do you wanna have ice cream or go to some dessert place?

Nandini : sorry Mani. Next I will be full prepared. Ice cream is attempting it but I will skip today because I am craving something else. Let's go to some dessert place. I know what to have.

He chuckles seeing her excitement and nodding his head held her hand and starts walking towards their car while gossiping about their work life.

Covering her mouth and exhaustedly she walks inside the room and turning the lights on she got shocked her husband sleeping on couch with a laptop on his lap. Her eyes went to the clock.

Closing the door behind her and quietly walking to him she lowers herself down and careful took the laptop and placed it on the table and looking at the laptop she saved his work and switched it off.

She starts calling his name out softly while shaking his shoulder. He stirs in sleep and opening his eyes lightly looks at her confusingly.

Avni: Neil what are you doing here? Why aren't you sleeping on bed? Were you still working?

Neil looks at his wife who looked exhausted and tired. His eyes fell on the clock and showing 5am made him realise he slept while working.

Neil : I am sorry. Why didn't you call me? I could have picked you up? How did you get home?

Avni : I didn't wanted to bother you knowing you might be sleeping and I didn't feel the right to disturb you. You have to go office tomorrow. My colleague gave me lift. You didn't answer my question Neil. Why are you sleeping here?

Neil : I think I feel asleep when I was working. I didn't realise when I slept. Did you have dinner?

Avni: no! I don't feel like eating. I will go and take shower then sleep. I am too tired.

Neil: but baby you can't sleep on empty stomach. I know you are not feeling hungry. How about I cook something light for you while you freshen up.

She looks at him and nodded her head because she was too tired to argue back with him and she know he won't let her sleep without having anything to eat so she agreed before they end of fighting.

He smiles and getting up cups her and placing a kiss on her forehead and asking her to wait for sometime before he rushed to washroom and made few arrangements then asking her to take shower went to kitchen to make something light for her.

He took all the ingredients out and starts making noddles for her. He turns the gas once it was done and taking a bowl he cleaned the kitchen and taking the bowl walks back to his room.

As he walks inside the room he found her sitting on the couch with her head resting back with closed eyes. He got worried and went to her.

He kept the bowl of noodles on the table and went behind her and starts massaging her head. Her eyes widened open as she felt his hand on her head.

She looks at him and smiles lightly and whispers his name making him look at her as she held his hand. She pulls him beside her and ask him to sit.

He smiles and sat beside her pulling her into side hug and pecking her head.

Neil : I know you are very tired baby. Look what I made, noddles for you. Have a little then you can sleep.

Her heart melted seeing his effort and was so blessed and proud to have a husband like him. She nodded her head and Neil taking the blow and starts air blowing it a little starts feeding her.

she ate little only because she was really tired and not munch hungry. He didn't force her and wiping her lips with a tissue and pecking her forehead.

Neil : baby drink some water while I put this back into kitchen. I will be right back.

She nodded her head and talking the glass of water gulps it down and placed it down walks to bed and slips under pulling the duvet over and waited for Neil to arrive. Soon he arrived and turning the lights slips beside her pulling her in his arms.
