I lose myself in such a way
that I don’t ever find myself again.
gradually, I give my life,
to you only.. ”

In the large Sophisticated Cabin ,  He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a wine glass in his One hand and his Other hand stuffed in his pant's Pocket.

The rays of the glowing Sun spread in all over the sky and sprinkling it's light down & were scattered on his body, making him look like a god who has just descended from the heaven.

His Face glow under the sun light and making his gorgeous face enhanced his beauty more.. his dark Eyes were zoned in a direction looking at just one direction but his thoughts were somewhere else..

His White shirt were neatly tucked around his muscular body , with button closed neatly till the end of his neck.. and his Black basket jacket over his shirt giving his look more charm to his godly figure.. his Black bottom hide his well maintained calves and long legs..

Suddenly, the cell phone on the glass table rang with a rushed ringtone bringing him back from his train of thoughts.

The man walked over with his long legs and reached out his slender and bony hand to pick his cell.. he saw the certain Person's name on the caller ID , of whom he was thinking from so long and was unable to concentrate in his work.

' little Wifey. '

His long strong finger creased the ID name and a thought come accross his mind..

" Did I go too far!!? ", He thought as he thought how he has been ignoring her since morning and then comes to his office directly , Even without taking his breakfast despite being persuaded by her upteenth time..

He sighed!

On other side She Pouted when he didn't picked her call.. he stir the kheer , which was kept on the stove for a while before pouring into tiffin box with his Lunch.. she has prepared lunch for him and his favourite sweet dish - kheer.

She has planned to Cook lunch for him and then surprise him by going office to monofie her grumpy monster hubby.

It was dadi's idea to surprise him with his favourite dish which she suggested her to monofie him , as she noticed how Manik was ignoring her pari at morning..

After packing the lunch box for him she went to their room to get ready.. taking the saree with her she walked to the clock room.. after wearing it she comes out decked in 
alluring concept blush pink saree with a pre-pleated one-shoulder drape , This foil-jersey saree comes with a resham-embroidered tulle blouse and offers the right dose of elegant-glam.

She looked herself in the mirror as she filled vermillion on her hairline, a stone bindi a little above the center of her eyebrows.. stroking the kajal on her almond Hazel eyes , with a natural pink lipstick on her pouty Lips.. her Wedding chudda tinkled as she dolled herself in front of the mirror.. her lips curled up in satisfied smile..

" Ayiyyappaa! I hope this monster will talk to me.. I feel very restless when he don't talk to me.. he's the only one I have in me Life as my own.. ", She thinks tucking her hair locks behind her ear..

Dhruv stopped his car in front of
' Aliya designs ' butique , which is very famous around the country and has one branch in each city of the Country.. his fingers tapped on the steering wheel as he thought a way to confess his love to Aliya..

But unable to muster any courage to confess it , he sighed before giving a last look towards the entrance of the butique and turning his car and zoomed towards his dance
' D Accademy '.

" Why I got too nervous when I tried to convey my feelings!? If it goes like this then I think I will get old with white hairs and beard.. ", Dhruv Sighed as he turned his Wheel of car to the another end of the street..

Aachhuu

Aliya Sneez suddenly in the mid of her drawing her new piece of dress..

" Who's remembering me this badly that I wonder I got cold!! ", Aliya sighed Before getting emerge back to her work..

Her hands swayed on the sheet like the wind blowing , so smoothly and beautifully curving a mermaid dress..

It's national Fashion show arround the corner and she's still left with her work.. she knows how much she's going to get buzy in these 3 months..

She Sighed!!

Nandini reached ' MALHOTRA HEIGHTS ' at 2:30 in the afternoon and elited from the car with tiffin box in her hand and a bouquet of Roses..

" Ayiyyappaa! I'm doing this first time.. I don't know how to monofie someone but as I saw in a show I'm doing like this - taking bouquet of roses with me.. I hope that monster like this! Huff!! ", Nandini cutely complaint to her Ayiyyappaa as she walked towards the entrance of long glass building with a Big title attached at the Center ' MALHOTRA HEIGHTS '.

Albert who has been attending a call near the receptionist noticed her entering and his eyes widened and his hand reached to his cheek , the same cheek which was awarded by Nandini famous punch.. he was wondering - should he go near her to greet her or look at Her safety from far!!?

But what if the Women Bees and Men Bees try to hurt his Madam!!?

He worriedly looked keenly at nandini walking towards the reception desk..

Nandini Smile as she felt Manik's presence in the office.. and his presence only makes her heartbeat risen..

" Excuse Me , Is Manik Free or is in meeting!!? ", Nandini asked with her sweet warm voice just like the sweetness of honey which Sooth the taste buds..

The Receptionist who was working attentively on her computer looked at the Source of sweet voice and find a fairy looking girl in her twenties.. she's wearing a blush pink saree looking elegant and beautiful.. the air of Nobel can be felt around the girl as she smiled softly at her. Her heart Skipped a beat as she stare struck on her.. she has never seen such a Beauty ever in her life.. even beautiful word compare less on her fare jade smooth skin..

She was lost and when she realised that she must not scared the innocent girl infront of her.. She cleared her throat and get back to her professionalism , " Hello ma'am.. may I know your Name and Do you have any appointment with CEO Sir!!? And yes he's in his cabin right now, by the way! ", She said respectfully. With series of questions first and then replying to her.

" Oh thank you.. I'm Nandini...... ", Before Nandini finish with her sentence a voice comes from behind.

" Who must be Shreya!? Obviously she must be some fan of Manik Sir who wanted to meet him.. didn't you see a bouquet in her hand! "

Nandini turned and saw a Lady of 28 or 30 yrs old , wearing an Office outfit with sky blue shirt and a tube Black skirt bootom.. her hair cascade down on her back in loose curles with heavy makeup on her Face..  Nandini realised a disdain look in her eyes for her which makes her little uncomfortable.. she didn't mind her words but the look in her eyes for her which skrimed her on her place..

The lady's sharp eyes studied Nandini from head to toe.. who doesn't have a little stock of make up on her face , just kajal and lipstick - but still she looks gorgeous.. and the latest design saree from ' Aliya Designs ' ( AD ) on her makes her glow more.. she knows she must be a young lady from a Rich family otherwise why will she be having a limited addition AD!!?

A fire of jealousy stired in her heart looking at the innocent Beauty in front of her..

Nandini ignore her as she's too lazy to fight with these kinds of envious people..

Shreya makes faces hearing Niya's Words.. " Niya , you should just mind your own business.. why are you pocking your nose in my work!!? She's here to meet CEO Sir and it's his business if he want to meet her or not.. what it have to do with you!!? ", She rolled her eyes as she sneer at her..

Shreya looked at Nandini and then she apologized politely , " I'm sorry ma'am.. just tell me your name I'll call in CEO Sir's cabin to ask about you.. ".

" It's okay.. and yes I'm Nandini Malhotra.. ", Nandini Shake her head as she smiled gorgeously at her blinding her eyes with her smile..

" O.. okay ma'am.. ", Shreya blushed saying this..

" You think that if you are from some rich family.. so CEO Sir will happily agree to meet you!!? Huh!! We even being his Employees rarely get to see him.. you are toh Just...... ", Niya rolled her eyes saying This but her words was cut in middle stance when a Voice comes from behind..

" Aree.. Choti.. you here!!? "

They turned and saw a boy wearing a Cream T-shirt with blue Jeans and a blue Blazer over the T-shirt.. his one hand stuffed in his pocket whereas a dashing smile was playing on his lips..

" Bhai.. ", Nandini smiled at him as he walked near her and side hug her.. seeing both of them like this , both girls eyes widened..

" Choti.. what a pleasant surprise.. Don't tell me you are just here to meet that Devil!!?  ", He Snorted Sadly.

Nandini giggled hearing his Words.. her giggle voiced like a chirping melodious sound of a koyal..

" Yes.. you are right I'm here to meet him.. and have brought lunch.. ", Nandini replied with a bright smile.

" Ohhhh.. tch.. you forgot your Cabir Bhai.. ", Cabir Pouted Feigning sadness.

Nandini chuckle shaking her head and then hitting him lightly on his chest she said, " Haww.. Don't tease me Bhai.. your lunch is also here.. ", Showing him a leather bag which consist the tiffin boxes..

Cabir's eyes twinkle with Excitement , " ohh my Little sister.. you are the best.. ", giving a quick hug he Exclaimed.

Niya was still looking at them with her wide eyes in shock.. she Never thought that cabir would have know this girl!!? Her jealousy grows more knowing this..

Shreya was also shocked first but then smiled seeing the way they were conversing..

" Come.. let me take you to Your Man's Cabin.. ", Cabir said with a doting smile on his lips , keeping his hand around her shoulder take her to the lift.. Nandini smile and started talking with him making his heart filled with joy..

Leaving Niya and Shreya gasped behind on the word on ' Your Man '.

Before Nanbir entered Lift cabir Looked at niya with sharp gaze which held a gaze of  ' Will see you later ' look making niya Shiver in fear..

Manik who was siting behind his desk and his fingers were tipping on the laptop in a high speed.. but suddenly his fingers stopped as a familiar Breeze touched his skin making his heartbeat rased.. he stood from his chair and walked towards his cabin's door with long steps..

He stretched his hand a clutched the knob and pulled the door open
only to See his Little Wifey
standing there with rased
hand as if she was just going to knock..

Nandini's lips curved in smile as she stared into his longing eyes which was also staring at him. His eyes bored in her eyes as if gazing through her soul.. she lowered her eyes as her cheeks turned scarlet. Her ears too heated up with his dark gaze..

" Aankhon ki gustakheeya.. maaf ho.. "

Hearing a teasing filled voice both comes back to reality.. Manik glared at cabir who was giving a mischievous look.. Nandini ducked her head lower blushing and her open hairs curtained her face doing the work of hiding her Face..

Cabir cleared his throat as he noticed a warning in Manik's glare , " My choti has come here with Lunch for us.. I'm taking mine while you enjoy yours.. ", taking his tiffin from the bag and he ran Away..

As he left Nandini looked at Manik and asked him with Num eyes , " Are you Angry with me!? ".

**

On other side  , As cabir walked away from MANIK'S cabin his doting filled eyes turned to cold one..  He clutched his fist tightly as he remembered that how that B#tch insult his baby sister..  His handsome face was expressionless and just dangerous coldness can be seen in his eyes..

           He took out his cell from his pocket and dialled manager of HR Department..

" Get Miss. Niya's termination letter ready and send her email and also finalize her salary as well..  ", Instructing the manager in his cold voice he hung up the call without even waiting for his reply.

Clutching his cell tightly  , " No one has the right to slander and trouble my sister..  ", he thinks and the surroundings has turned freezing cold..

**

Niya has just turned her laptop on when an email pinged in.. She frowned and as she clicked open the email and read it her expression change to panic..  She never thought that she will be terminated.. 

But why?

**

She burried her face in his chest as he carried her in his arms and led her to his chair and put her on his chair and he himself kneel in front of her..

Nandini lower her face and didn't look at him but she do feel his constant gaze on her..

" Nandini.. look at me.. " , his voice was strin but soft and warm at the same time..

She slowly raze her eyes and looked at him with his Misty Eyes , she wanted to say something but felt that she was unable to voice out anything..

Manik got worried seeing her like this.. he hurriedly pour water in glass and make her drink with his own Eyes..

" Did I Hurt you Nandini!? ", He felt his heart squeeze seeing her eyes teary and asked with panick..

Nandini shake her head in no , " I thought you will als..... Also lea..... Leave me like others.. ", she sniff cutely replying this..

Manik cupped her face and wife her tears he Said, " I'm sorry Nandini.. I'm so stupid.. actually I'm too possesive and selfish for you.. I just need Your whole attention for myself.. I don't Wanted to hurt you.. ", he said with his eyes filled with warmth of different emotions which he himself don't aware of..

He hugged her tightly and creased her hairs lovingly and he himself don't know when the bud of love sow in his heart..

Whereas Nandini snuggled in his arms with a beautiful smile on her face.. she's becoming used to his warmth and Because of her insecurities , she Still don't know that she's the only one who will be cherished by her monster in the rest of her life..

" I bring lunch for you.. ", Nandini said slowly as Manik released her from his arms.. her cheeks tinted with the blush making his heart skip a beat..

" What you bring for me!? ", He asked with doting eyes as he picked the bag when he noticed a bouquet.. he creased the roses with a smile and looked at Nandini as if asking with his Eyes , " For me!? ", Nandini bobbed her head cutely and her cheeks more heated up..

Holding her hand with one and picking the bag with other hand he lead her to couch at the corner of his lavish cabin and put the bag on the table and pulled her to sit beside him before taking seat.

Nandini serve the lunch for both of them and Manik's eyes twinkled as he saw that dishes laid for lunch is his favourite.. he dugged his head in his lunch and started to global up the lunch making Nandini giggle on his antics..
