Arranged Bhasad

Prologue

"Nandini?" Nandini who was washing the dishes adjusted her dupatta and turned around "Jee Papa?"

"Tunhare liye Malhotras se rishita aaya hai beta, kal tayyar rehna!" Nandini looked down a little and nodded, walking inside the kitchen again.

Setting the utensils in the shelf, she blushed to herself as she remembered  Manik Malhotra and their first encounter.

"Yaar! College ko aaj hi half-day deni thi! Uff! I wanted to go to library" Nandini wailed to Navya, her best friend and walked without even looking straight to which she collided with a masculine chest and was about to fall, when two pair of arms pulled her to himself.

Her eyes gathering courage looked into his and fell for them, at the very moment. She could feel all the butterflies she had been missing all these 24 years of her life, all at once as his hands slowly pulled her closer. Very slowly.

She could feel his chest rising up a little and then down and all she wanted was him, at the very moment.

Was it love? Was it? But he's just a stranger! How can it be love?

"Nandini!!"Her trance broke as she heard Navya's calling and suddebkh felt the absence of his hands. "Manik!!" Was all she could hear from his friend beside and she, adjusting herself looked at him from a corner and found him already looking, deeper in her eyes.

"I am sorry!" The friend of his came out, pulling him throughly and apologized to which Navya too held Nandini's hand and apologized back. But the two souls were busy only looking into each other. So heavenly it felt.

Both crossed paths and smiled to themselves.

Finishing the kitchen chores, she went to her room and locked the door and in no time, jumped on the bed and blushed deeply wrapping the comforter around her. Had she known Manik was also in love with her, she would have never let him go at first place.

She blushed at herself as she remembered how she stalked for an hour or so in f******k to find the Manik she fell in love with and ultimately found him.



Her eyes. They were magic. Her blush, Haayein! She has got something which I couldn't resist. The time we collided, all I knew was her, my hands on her waist and that, I was in love. Not really love, but no less than love. She was the girl I wanted for years and years, it seemed. All my ranting about being single the whole life went away as soon as I met her. I always wanted a wife, and she was perfect. I so wish her to be single! f******k. Haan! f******k!!

After a search for around an hour with just the initial NANDINI he could track her down.
