Being His Wife

Chapter Twenty

"Sweetheart, We have a business party to attend. You want to go?" He caressed her knuckles and kissed her hand. It was Sunday and both were having their own time.

"Ofcourse! It’s so thrilling to attend high-class parties and this is my first! Why not? I would love to accompany my handsome husband" She said making him smile.

" Yes, my love! While coming back home, I bought a gown for you. If you want, you can wear that" He kissed her forehead.

"I will surely wear that" She said and walked to the washroom to get ready while Manik got ready in the room itself.

"This is so beautiful" She said and twirled which made Manik adore his baby doll. It was an embroidered side cut crimson red coloured long gown which fitted her perfectly at curves taking out the best form of her.

"You are beautiful" He said pulling her by waist and kissing her lips.

"Even you look very charming" She said and kept her hands on his chest.

"Let’s go then, Mrs. Malhotra" He said while she quickly took her purse

"Sure, Mr. " She said and they both went away after bidding bye to their family.

They reached the venue soon while Nandini snuggled to him and asked "Looks like an anniversary party"

"Yes honey, its the anniversary of our elder client Mr. And Mrs. Goel. They are very sweet and compassionate. They will love you for sure. He’s a great friend of Dad and he has helped a lot in our struggling phase! Don’t forget to greet them by touching their feet. They would relent but they love traditional kids! Me and Mukti were clever enough to be in their good books, always" They both entered the venue with Manik making her aware while Nandini nodding, with a little laugh accompanied.

"Is the same Mr.Goel who helped you in the admission with the fees and procedures?" She snaked her arm around his shoulder and asked.

"Oh Yes, You remember" He caressed her hairs. "Of course I do" He kissed her forehead.

Other side,

"Look at Bro, Hes so much in love" The trio, Yashvardhan, Nyonika and Mukti sat on the living room and switched on the TV to witness the headlines 'Newly Married Couple Manik Malhotra and his queen's PDA is the cutest thing on the Internet'

Yes. All the love affections were recorded by the media as they hadnt yet entered the venue. They were just near the doorsteps.

"He is...My barbie is looking so beautiful" Nyonika said.

"Goel is having his anniversary and look at me, So much in fever" Yashvardhan sneezed and kept his head on Nyonika's lap.

"It’s okay! You take care of yourself first ..We will go and wish them personally tomorrow" She caressed his hairs.

VENUE.

"Shona...What do you want to have?" He asked.

"First let us wish Uncle and Aunty nah" She said and they both moved towards the podium.

"Good evening uncle and aunty" Manik came forwards and bent his head to touch their feet.

"Oh my! Look at the the star couple! Manik, I missed you so much son! It’s been long catching up with you! You have grown to be so successful, my champ" Mr. Goel had no children so he loved Manik and Mukti like his children only.

"It’s all because of your love and blessings that I am here, uncle! Missed you too" Mr. Goel hugged him while Mrs. Goel kissed his forehead "Stay blessed"

Nandini stood there adoring her husband who was loved by all.

"Where’s our daughter in law?" Mr. Goel asked while Manik pulled her and Nandini too bent her head to touch their feet.

"Such a beautiful child you have brought in the house, Mannu! She is an inborn Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth and prosperity) May God bless you with a blissful marital life" Mr. And Mrs. Goel blessed the doll while she smiled and stood beside Manik.

"I am sorry beta..We couldn’t come for your wedding..I was going through a transplant" Mr. Goel said.

"Uncle, It’s absolutely okay!! Occasions are frequent. We just want you two to be happy and healthy, always" Nandini said looking at Manik who nodded with a smile.

"Oh my! Such a sweetheart you are! I know! Occasions are actually very frequent. Can’t wait for a little life to start growing in you!" She said making MaNan blush to the core.

“There's still time, Aunty!" Manik said."Uncle..We have asked one of the servants to keep your gift in your bedroom only..And Dad wanted to call you" Manik said.

"Haa..Yash called me..You two enjoy the party" Mr. Goel said and MaNan smilingly went off the podium.

“So, when will you enlighten us with the opportunity to become a father?” Hee pulled her closer to which she blushed and hid her face in his chest making Manik giggle.

"Heyy Manikk" A girl of around 25 called from a distance to which Manik left Nandini and walked to her, after taking permission from his beloved wife.

"What happened..How are you?" The girl snaked her arms around his neck while he smiled.

"I am fine..What about you?" He kissed her forehead which did nothing but add fire to her burns.

"Wanna dance?" She pulled him while he went to her to the dancing podium.

Nandini's eyes got covered with tears and she angrily walked to the car and asked the driver to take her home.

Manik noticed this and followed her hurriedly leaving the girl who herself asked him to go to manofy her *bhabhi*.
