Âmes Soeurs

Chapter Fifteen

Nandini was talking to some ladies when suddenly a waiter came to her and handed over an envelope to her. She excused herself and opened the envelope.

Heya.

Tired Much? Fade it away, pleaseee. Just follow the person bowing to you, at the garden side and hope into the car to reach your..Urm! My favorite destination.

Manik. 

She looked at the entrance door and found an old man, dressed in formals, bowing to her. She blushed and followed the person who made her sit in a car and drove away. She informed her parents who with a wide smile granted her the permission. You see the perks of getting married, in an arranged way ;)

The driver stopped his car at a point where literally no one was there. Like no one but a light could be seen nearby. Maybe, he was going to conf *Coughs* 

"Ma'am..Sir has ordered me to take you here! From there..You have to go all yourself" He said, pointing to a beautiful semi-carved decorated artificial gateway.

She was initially scared but she had trust on him. She loved him a way too much to be scared. Yes, she had started loving him right there when he cared for her, protected her dignity. The diwali day. And the picnic was obviously the cherry on the cake.

She lifted her gown a little and walked to the site while he was standing inside, drowned in her memory lane to which the sounds of her heels made him conscious.



The decoration was awe. She was literally awestruck. How can a man be such romantic? Oh baby girl, it's usually the men who's more romantic in a relationship and she was blessed to have one droolworthy, hopeless romantic in her life. How blessed! Oh jesus.

She drooled over the lighting lamps, hung on the trees. Oh my cuteness! How cute they looked.



As she walked further, she at last reached her destination. Nevertheless, it did looked like a date setup but something was certainly very different. He had taken her to numerous dates but this one was literally very different and it created a different feeling in her. A positive feeling.





And to his luck, her eyes caught them. And that was it. Unknowingly tears made their way out from her eyes and she palmed her mouth. 



And there he was, standing on his knee like a true cliche yet the most special one, with a ring and the most heartwarming smile on his face.

"Manik this?" She whispered, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"I love you Nandini..From the day I saw you..You are so beautiful that I couldn't take off my eyes from you and I don't even want to for the whole lifetime..Your heart is so pure to hate..Everything about you is so beautiful and being a little selfish, I want you to make my life beautiful..actually ours ! I want our life to be the most imperfect yet the perfect one! So will you, sweetheart?" And he just confessed like a honest love sick puppy. 

Nandini nodded her head in a yes quickly and he made her wear the ring which actually shined so bright.

"So is it a yes?" He stood up and rubbed his nose with hers to which she giggled and hugged him "Obviously a YES!" 

"I LOVE YOU" He confessed, with entwined hands, and an everlasting smile to which she blushed and said pecking his nose "I love you too!" 

"Let's sit there" He caressed her knuckles and smiled to which she nodded.

As he made her comfortable on the bed arranged for them, he too sat over there. She smiled as she saw him about to lay on the bed, in sleeping position and when he did, she lied over him with her back on his front. He smiled and entwined their hands "You look very beautiful today" He complimented her making her blush and she whispered "You too looked very handsome" He smiled and started caressing her hairs. "Nandini!Now that you have agreed to marry me ..You should know my daily timetable too" He said in a serious tone.

"I wake up at 4 and you too have to and make me a cup of black coffee! Then I get freshen up and at around 8 I go to office for which you have to make me the tiffin! And have to bid me a goodbye! Then by 9, I return and for that you have to take my bag and massage my head and shoulders and at night! Well, nevertheless you know what couples do" She gulped her saliva. First of all, she wakes up at 7 and come home by 8 and sleeps! Oh my god! Marriage thing will seriously get the hell off her! But she loves him! Hm, let it be! We will see.

She comforted herself and looked at him and literally found him hiding his smile. Whattt? All this was just a joke??

"Manik" She turned to him and started hitting him while he was laughing his heart out.

"Bas!" He pulled her knuckles to which she fell on him.

"Are baba! You think of me like an old-fashioned husband? Of course not!" He confessed caressing her hairs.

"Yeah! I won't deny the fact that  I always wanted my wife to tie my tie and wait for me till I come back home but it's fine! I just need you with no terms and conditions!" He said and kissed her forehead while she snuggled to him, smiling her heart out and mentally noting his desires and wishes so to become the best wife possible.
