CHAPTER 4

2145 Words
RECAP: Nandu joined in college. So the day went well for both Manik and Nandini. At evening, everyone went back home. Manik, cabir and fab 3 were happy to see Nandu all chirpy, as when they entered the mansion. Nandu hugged everyone and settled herself beside Manik, then she happily told them how her day was in college. Soon after dinner, everyone went to their respective rooms to sleep, while fab3 moved to their house. Everything was the same in Fab3's, Manan's and Cabir's lives. Chachi, Soha, and Neyonika backed off from their evil plans as Manik made sure to push them into trouble before they plan or think of anything to separate or harm Manan. So, being care free, Nandu was actually enjoying her life. Manik loves Nandu. This is obvious to everyone, but does Nandu love Manik is a question that everyone has but they never thought of bringing this topic to light. While for both manan their day starts and ends with each other. It's like if Manik doesn't know about Nandu's whereabouts for even a minute, then he goes restless. And only Nandu can handle him. Manan grows stronger and Nandu started trusting Manik blindly, but she takes her stand whenever it's needed. Manik made sure to be behind her to support her unconditionally. So it helped Nandu to take her stand. Nandu has 4 friends in college. I.e aryaman, Navya ( as Manik has given her admission just to make Nandu happy), shivani and meeraj. Though Nandu only trusts Navya, shivani and meeraj, she maintains a decent friendship with Aryaman. While Cabir and Navya have feelings for each other, none expressed that to anyone. Shivani and Meeraj were in a serious relationship. And Aryaman has a crush on Nandu, which he thinks is love. Manik knew about Aryaman's intensions but protected Nandu from being her secret Santa. As he wants Nandu to see the reality of Aryaman instead of him telling it to her, but still being a possessive hubby, he silently appoints 4 bodyguards for her. And he put a gps tracker in Nandu's mangalsutra and engagement ring. As Nandu never removes them no matter what. The routine was the same. It was Nandu's final year in college. She was in a canteen with her friends, talking some nonsense. Soon she observed Meeraj's moves. And stopped speaking as Meeraj was on his knees for Shivani to propose to her. Even Shivani accepted the proposal and Nandu was the happiest soul among them. Navya chuckled at seeing her jumping around. Nandu was talking to them while going to the class room and she was walking backwards ( like she was facing them and walking backwards) when she hit a hard rock-like body and was about to lose her balance, but how can our Manik let her fall? He held her. Nandu turned to him, facing her back to her friends and hugged him tightly, mumbling" I miss you". Listening to this, Manik had a broad smile and tightened his hold on her, whispering" I miss you too". Soon they broke the hug and saw that Navya, shivani and meeraj were looking at them in awww. Whereas Aryaman has a straight face. Manik: hi guys .. Meeraj, Navya, shivani: hi sir. Navya: jiju you met her in the morning only and then why miss you. While Shivani and Meeraj gave her a are you serious look. Man: no actually I was out of town for 3 days and 2 nights. So I have returned just now and here I am to checkon my baby. Manik said, looking at Nandu who had just hugged him, hiding her face. While Manik just held her close to him. Shivani: So what are the plans, jiju? Man: I was about to ask you about guys. Do you have any important classes now? They 3 nodded no and still Aryaman was standing there but didn't speak a word or react. Man: okay then I am taking my baby with me. And if anything is important, then explain it to her tomorrow. They nodded and Manik lifted her in his arms effortlessly. While Nandu just moved to his crook of his neck and hides her face over there. Navya, shivani and meeraj smiled at them. But Aryaman was jealous. Everyone in the corridor saw them but didn't utter a word. Manik sat on the driving seat with Nandu in his lap, who just snuggled towards him more to absorb his presence in her. Manik said the body guards to follow them and asked the driver to come the next day. While driving, Maniki asked Manik: how is my baby? Nandini ( whispering ): not good. Manik (smiling at her antics): hawww. Why so?? Nandini: you left your baby and went for 2 long nights. You know right. I can't get my peaceful sleep without you. Then how can you think I am good? By saying this she had a pout which obviously Manik wanted to kiss, but smiled at his kid and patted her head to make her sleep. She slept, instantly absorbing his warmth. MANIK'S POV How can I tell you, nandini, that I loved you so very much from the day I laid my eyes on you? I still remember that day when, while going to your home, you helped one of my employees as he was searching for a pen drive which fell near a footpath. From that day to today, my love for you has increased but never reduced a bit. I know you can't stay away from me for long. But I don't know what you feel for me. Before anything, I wanted to know your feelings towards me. It's been 3 years of our marriage and 4 years before I saw you. The feeling is surreal for me. And I know you will surely open up to me. I will wait for that day. Soon they reached Manik's farmhouse, which is on Mumbai Pune highway. Manik lifted the sleeping Nandu and moved to their bedroom to get some rest. After almost 4 hours, nandu stirred in sleep and snuggled more into Manik. It caused Manik to break his sleep and see his baby. He truly doesn't lust for her, but at the same time, he wants to love her and her body too. It's his strong desires which he can control to some extent. He started admiring her. And after 30 minutes more, Nandu opened her eyes and spoke. Nandu: I missed this and you. Manik's smile grew to the widest and pecked her forehead and said Manik: I missed you too baby. Nandu snuggled for 15 more mins and said Nandu: I guess I am hungry. Manik: okay freshen up. I will order something for us. Soon they freshened up and went to the small terrace garden which is attached to the bedroom and were having snacks. By speaking to each other. Mostly Nandu blabbering. Nandu: Do you know Manik? This caused manik's attention... Manik: Yes tell me.. how would I know without you telling me.... Nandu pouted cutely but spoke.. Nandu: Today Meeraj proposed shivani. They were so cute. They took almost 2 years to confess it. As they were scared that the other person would reject them. But you know I saw love in between them. Like they used to fight a lot even after accepting that they love each other. But you know, after every fight they used to solve it together. Sometimes a mistake is made by meeraj. And you know most of the time it's Shivani's mistake. But, Meeraj still has his own ways to explain her or deal with her. You know mani.. ( And this nickname caused him more attention than anything as he was admiring her cute talk. ) They look so cute together even when fighting. Once, Shivani was showing an attitude that he didn't want and Meeraj got angry and was about to leave for his home from college, leaving Shivani alone in the parking lot of college. We were so tense, but once, he saw her standing in the same place pouting, which made him smile and he waited in front of her for 5 minutes. And after that she climbed and just hugged him, making us smile at her crazy antics. You know, Mani, I even wanted someone to propose to me. Like before our marriage. Don't take me wrong as I always dreamed about it. Nandu said dreamily... to which Manik frowned and asked her curiously. Man: what was your dream proposal?? Nan ( still in her dream land ): I want it to be simple how Meeraj proposed shivani in front of the whole college in the canteen. It's simple but cute, as Meeraj didn't get afraid or even have second thoughts while proposing to her in front of anyone. This shows how much he loves her and he can proudly show the world that she's his girl. I want something similar to that but the place should be decorated with red and white roses, near the beach. You know it has to be like a rose bed with my man standing in the middle just for me and the rest of the world looking at us. And we state that we belong to only each other, no one else in this life. You know Mani, I had a crazy wish list before you came into my life. But after you came, everything changed for good. I am not complaining but I wish to clear that wish list. But I guess it's not possible now. Nandu was still lost in her own land. While there, the manik mentally noted everything she said and determined that he had to propose to her in the same way and he also had to make sure to fulfill all her wishes. Both were lost on their own land when the manik's phone caught their attention, bringing them back from their land. As it was a call from Cabir. Manink: Ha cabir tell me.. Cabir: where are you guys? I was trying to reach Nandu. Manik: we..... ( looking at Nandu ) we are in the farm house to spend some time alone. Why, what happened?? Cabir: wooh can you please be calm. As I don't want Nandu to know about this. Manik: okay. Cabir: wooh... I was just going to pick up Nandu as I thought you would be at home being tried. But when I reached there, I saw Aryaman alone. I found it weird as he was talking to himself strangely and was saying that Nandini is mine. I thought I would follow him, his mansion is just near our mansion and also he is keeping an eye on you guys. Manik: how can you be so sure about it? Cabir: I have seen large binoculars set up on one of his balconies and that balcony is exactly opposite to your balcony. First, I felt it strange and thought he was gazing at stars. But after 10 mins, Aryaman himself came to the balcony and started peeping into our mansion through that. And he specifically kept one binocular pointing to your room and the other one to see the whole mansion. Manik was angry and at the same time scared for his Nandini. But he didn't show anything on his face and calmly said.. Manik: okay cabir. Do one thing: you keep an eye on him and let it be how it's going on for now. We will discuss the rest when I will be at home tomorrow night or maybe the day after tomorrow night. And make sure to tighten the security and only keep the trusted ones and give termination for the rest. I only want trusted ones. And also make sure that the security is super tight. I will discuss rest in our study room. When we are back, okay... Cabir: Yaa okay bro. I will also inform Fab 3 about all this. You guys take care. I am sure that he doesn't know your farm house details, so that's why he is sitting on the balcony and waiting for you guys to arrive. Manik sighed and ended the call. Where Nandu raised her eyes, asking what. Man: nothing. A small problem in the office. Nandu nodded and moved to his lap and snuggled like a baby. While Manik smiled and held her securely. Soon, 2 days passed with Manan's cuddles and their talks. They reached the mansion at night. And Manik made Nandu sleep as she has college tomorrow and she was also tried. Closing all the windows and drawing the curtains, he switched on the ac and covered her with a comforter. Then, checking her one last time, he moved to the study room, where fab 4 were waiting for him. . .
