MaNan- Married to you

10. Feelings?

When we reached my home, we were welcomed grandly by my mother and grand mother. After few more rituals, I went to check out my beloved room.

"I missed you." I said it to my room as I entered my room.

I sat on my bed, traced my fingers through the bedside table. My eyes landed on my teddy who looked so lonely. "I am sorry I didn't take you but what could I do that monster might have done something to you if I had taken you along." I hugged it and even kissed it.

I know I am insane but I don't mind being called that. I have always been possessive about my things, no matter what.

Right then I heard the sound of someone laughing. My heads turned to the source, only to see Manik laughing

He looked so adorable. The way he threw his head back when he laughed and the melodious sound of his laughter. I couldn't help but admire him.

"Like seriously-" He said in between his laughter. "You were talking with that stuff toy." He again laughed, bringing me back to my senses.

I shook my head and glared at him. He is not adorable, he is a monster."Who gave you the permission to come to my room?"

"Oh come on wifey I don't need permission to come in your room." He sat beside me and winked.

"You need my permission."

"As if I won't come if you ask me too." He neared his face towards me and I bent back. Right then he snatched my teddy from my hand. Geez! I should have known this was coming.

"My wifey was talking with this." He looked at the teddy and hit it, irking me. I tried taking it but he stretched his hands. I want to chop those long hands of his. Huff!

"Manik give my teddy to me." I said, trying to maintain my calmness. And he gave me his irritating cheeky smile, nodding his head in no.

"Manikkk." I shouted in irritation as I hit him but he laughed. I struggled to take the teddy and in this process I pushed him on the bed and came on top him. I struggled to reach my teddy but I realized he had stop struggling.

That was when I realised our position. I looked at him and he had already been looking at me. His eyes locked with mine and captivated me. Moments later I felt his hand tugging the few strands of hair behind my ears. He then traced his finger down my cheek, giving me jittery feelings.

"Oh my god I didn't see anything." My best friend, Navya's voice hit my ears, bringing me back to my sense.

I got up with a jerk and so did he.

"Navya you here." Manik said, surprising me. Do they know each other?

"Surprise surprise." Navya said in her over excited tone. I looked at Navya and she smiled.

"You guys know each other?"

"Cousins." Navya said and smiled. "So practically you are my bhabhi."

I looked at Navya who had been giggling. I covered the distance between me and Navya and smacked her head. "You missed my wedding for that useless trip. And you didn't even tell me he is your cousin when I mentioned about him." Anyway it wasn't like my wedding was important but still how could I miss a chance to hit her.

She rubbed the back of her head and glared at me. Smelling the danger, I ran towards my bed to grab a pillow but my stupid saree came on my way and I stepped on my own saree and stumbled.

Manik was standing right in front of me and as a result I ended up banging on his chest. He held my arms in order to stabilize me.

"Careful." He said and I raised my head to look at him and I realized we were very close. My hands were on his chest and his on my arms.

And I felt a different feeling within me. What is this feeling?

Right then, "Perfect." Navya's voice broke my trance and I looked at her. A phone in her hand. Oh no she clicked our picture.

"Navya delete that." We both shouted at the same time and she laughed.

"You guys have a great timing."

She showed us the photo and winked. "This is my today's i********: story." She ran out of the room saying this but again came back. "By the way I saw Cabir's story, you guys looked cute."

"Navya." Me and Manik both shouted in unison and she giggled before running away.

"It's all because of you." We both said at same time. Wow what a timing.

I pushed him slightly and got out of his hold before coming out of my room.

"Navyaa." Holding the pleats, I ran downstairs.

As I ran downstairs, my phone beeped and I knew Navya had uploaded the story. "Navya delete it." I said.

"Nope not a chance." She said as she ran behind the sofa. I threw pillow towards her and she dodged it. I ran after her and I tell you it isn't an easy job to run in saree. Huff!

"Time please." Navya said, inhaling a deep breath inside her lungs. She was puffed out with all the running and jumping. She sat on the sofa all exhausted and so did I.

"Delete it." I smacked her head and she made a bad face. She stuffed her phone into her pocket. "Nope I love that click so not a chance."

"My turn will also come one day." I said as I got up from the sofa.

"I will be waiting for that day." She winked at me. I picked up the pillows from the floor and kept in on the sofa.

Later that evening

I was having a hard time in unpinning the pallu of the saree. Who even invented this saree? Sigh!

It was our reception party tonight and for the party I had to wear another saree. But first and foremost I have to unpin this.

As I was busy struggling, he came out of the washroom, all ready in his black suit. I saw him through the mirror and for a second our eyes locked.

He then came towards me. He stepped a step closer and his fingers worked in unpinning.

"You couldn't do that much." He mocked.

"You pinned it in the first place." I know I wasn't making sense but I didn't want to lose to him. I took my black blouse and underskirt and went to the washroom without even listening to what he had been saying.

A few minutes later I came out wearing the black strapless blouse and underskirt. I did hesitate for a second to come out but I had to wear my saree too.

Due to the strapless blouse, I was more conscious than before. I looked at him and he immediately averted his gaze, probably because he sensed my uncomfortableness.

I don't know how to wear a saree. Should I ask for his help?
