“Nandini!! Open the door, honey! Please! For me!!” Manik was beating the door since half an hour but of no use.
She was very much hurt. She was crying incoherently.
“Please Nandini!! Please!! For me, please” He said and that was it.
“Maaanik” She opened the door and hugged him tightly.
“Nothing happened, honey..Your Manik loves you..No one will say anything, I promise... Don’t worry!! We will teach her a lesson!! Don’t cry, my love” He was consoling her like a mother.
She looked at him with red eyes, and pink nose, sobbing “Seriously?”
“Yes, my heart..” He pecked her nose to which she giggled and kept her head on his shoulder “You should know that you are the best”
“But how Manik? She’s so well educated!! She can speak English so fluently! She can even eat with fork and spoon but I know Nothing!! “ She said as they both sat on the bed.
“By teaching you all this” He cupped her cheeks.
“It would be hard Manik! Very hard! Hypothetical situation” Nandini looked at him.
“Do you have trust on me?” He asked and kissed her forehead to which she nodded.
“On ou love?” He asked again to which she again nodded.
“Then we will sail the ocean with ease, honey” He said and they both hugged each other.
Manik proved to be the best life partner ever. He used to come back home and teach her English all the way despite of being tired. He used to make her eat food using spoons and atlast, he was fulfilling her dream of becoming a doctor. She got admitted in a school and was studying science. She couldn’t believe her luck. Manik was everything a girl desires for. Romantic, Handsome, Supporting, Loyal and what not. She always used to give him whatever he wanted.
“Nandini..Its Karishma..Not Charisma.It night spell like Charishma but it’s sounds like Karishma.” He said.
“Ka..Ri..Sh..Ma” She repeated.
“So translate this in English...Main shaadi shuda hu” He said.
“I..umm..am..married” She answered to which he gave her a thumbs up.
“Now a longer line..Okayy?” He asked.
“Okayy” She said.
“Main apne aap se seemit hu” He looked at her.
“I am confined to myself” She said.
“That’s like my girl!! Done for today!” Keeping the notebook aside, he came closer to her.
“What are you doing!” She asked all the way blushing.
“Who will pay the fees” He came more closer and kissed her earlobe.
“Manik..Please” She closed her eyes.
“I need you” He whispered softly against her ear while she lied on the bed knowing that they both need each other.
Manik used to make her eat using the spoons.
“Come here and sit! “ He made her sit on his lap and held the spoons using her hands.
“Now take this in your hand
..And gulp the food down” He said to which Nandini followed and was able to eat the food using spoons.
It’s been a year since Nandini was away from the limelight. Manik wanted to show a changed Nandini.
They had been to Paris for honeymoon and were content with one another.
