Next morning Nandu was the first one to wake up but first sight her eyes witnessed was the sleeping face of Manik which was just few inches away from her !!

A big smile apperead on her face seeing the innocence and peace on his face ! But soon reality hit her mind when she realised there position!

Manik was lying on his stomach with his one hand on her waist and one under his head . There legs entangled with eachother and faces just few inches apart. Nandu was lying on her back with her one hand on his hand which was resting on her waist and other one under her head.

She glanced upon the time to see it was just 6:00 am. She smiled and looked at Manik smilingly she felt her cheeks getting red seeing him soo close to her and cherry on top was she was not feeling uncomfortable infact she felt herself in peace !!

Forwarding her face more forward she lightly pecked his cheeks and moved back to her place when she saw him smilingly in his sleep!! The smile which is now her favourite smile !!

Soon she felt Manik moving in his sleep making her nervous closing her eyes immediately she acted like sleeping but still she can feel his gaze on her heating her cheeks to the fullest!

Whereas Manik was sleeping peacefully when he felt wetness on his cheek and soft petals touching his cheeks. Opening his eyes softly he saw the most beautiful view !! A smile apperead on his face seeing her cute yet beautifull face with her eyes closed . He smiled widely seeing her or we should say staring her. But soon his eyes land up on Thier position which colored his cheeks too. He recalled last night incident where they were talking and unknowingly fell asleep. His smile was not ready to leave his face .

But soon a thought came across his mind . What if she feel uncomfortable or awkward moment she will wake up?

Caressing her cheeks softly with his finger tips he stood up half heartily and left to get ready while Nandu immediately opened her eyes breathing heavily her cheeks all red and a blushy smile on her lips . Touching her cheeks she hided her face to calm her blush.

Getting ready she went downstairs to see everyone sitting on dinning table waiting for her talking randomly. She looked at manik who was staring at her with his eyes ready to budge out any moment which did nothing but paint her cheeks red.

Avoiding his gaze she Greeted everyone and settled down beside manik who was now looking down totally embarrassed on getting caught red handed for staring her..

With light talks they all left for office.

Manik, mukti, dhruv in one car for malhotra Industries..and alya and nandu in one car for fashion house.

___

It was lunch time but still nandu was sitting on her chair keeping her head on the her palm and looking at ceiling dreamingly.

He touched my cheeks!! He was staring at me!! He is soo caring!! He looks soo cute when he is asleep!! I slept in his arms

Well those were the thoughts running in her mind since morning making her loose her concentration on her projects!! Since morning she is simply sitting lost in his thoughts not giving damn to the world. Everyone was superised to see the ever confident nandu soo lost!! Thanks to her stars that today cavya were on leave otherwise she would be teased to death for being soo lost!!

Nandu looked at the time and smiled seeing lunch time!! Well she was smiling at everything even if its the poen of the office!!

Should I ask him for lunch? Um.. What if he is busy? Than I can wait for him!! Yes.. Even he waits for me whenever I am busy!! Yes today I should surprise him!! He will be soo much happy!!

Thinking all this she called her driver and soon left for malhotra industries not before informing alya about she going out for lunch!!

Standing in front of industry she could feel her heart filling with pride seeing the hardwork of her family. The building was not less than a dream.

And unknowingly his family became her family!!

Entering inside she towards the receptionist who gave her a weird look.

"May I know where is manik's cabin?"

"Excuse me? It's manik sir. Just because he is sweet to everybody that doesn't mean you won't respect him." receptionist gave her an attitudive look and continued doing her work while nandu clenched her fist together. Off course no one dares to talk to her like this.

" just call him and tell nandini has come to meet him" nandu said stroking her hairs which irritated receptionist who was already getting jealous seeing her because she was looking not less than a diva.

"firstly, I can't disturb sir for anybody. Secondy, you don't even have an appointment. So now don't waste my time and for your information sir don't talk to any random girl" receptionist's words made nandu laugh. Her all anger went in dustin and now she was laughing irritating shit out of receptionist.

"firstly, i am not anybody. Secondly, I don't need any appointment to meet him. Thirdly I am not any random girl whom your " sir" won't like to meet. And fourthly I think this would be the last day of your office and for that I don't even need your sir's permission. Believe me on that. "nandu's voice held such intensity and authority which made receptionist shiver.

" nandini !! " they both heard manik's voice who was looking surprised. Nandini smirked at scared receptionist and looked at manik who had covered the distance between them.

"I was coming to meet you only but why are you standing here?" manik asked all confused holding nandu's hand while nandu smiled at his concern than looked at the receptionist who was now sweating badly but her eyes held confusion.

"actually your receptionist is really loyal. I mean she told me to address you and also without even knowing fully about me addressed me as a random girl and told me to meet you by taking an appointment in a very unprofessional way. " nandu said glaring at receptionist who just forgot to breath. She knew no matter how sweet manik is but when it comes to work he hates unprofessionalism and mistakes. She looked at manik who was now glaring at her.

" not any random person who needs appointment. She can come to me whenever she wants because it's her office too. Remember that and for your this behavior nandini you can do whatever you want!." manik's voice was quite angry not because she behaved unprofessionally because if that was the reason who would have simply given a second chance but he was angry because she misbehaved with nandu.

Even he didn't knew why he was soo angry the moment he knew someone called nandu random girl. But unlike his nature which is way too calm he felt himself angry. Whereas when manik addressed nandu by Mrs. Manik malhotra keeping his hand on her waist as if telling the world that he is her's she just couldn't stop blushing. Now everything running in her mind from receptionist to her anger flew away and now if something exist than its manik's face which she was staring dreamily but was brought out of her dream land when she heard manik calling her.

"no I dont wanna punish you. Just take care from next time because whenever a client enters the first impression he gets is the way a receptionist talks and behaves. It shows how professional this company is. Soo from next time it should not be repeated. And manik(turning towards manik) lets go we are getting late."saying this she took manik hand and went inside whereas manik simply followed her smiling looking at thier entwined hands while everyone in the office stood up from there seat the moment they saw manik entering but seeing him soo lost that too being dragged by a girl made them shocked!!

Nandu stopped after a while when something hit her mind. "manik I don't know where your cabin is. And you are also silently walking. Tell me na where is your cabin" nandu asked making a cute pout while manik felt like kissing and nodding his head he again entwined thier hand and walked towards him cabin.

Nandu gasped seeing his cabin.

"I must say you have a great choice" nandu said giving him an impressed look.

"well you standing beside me proves it!! Soo yeah I have a really really nice choice" manik said with a smirk whereas nandu was surprised.

"are you flirting with me?" nandu asked raising her one eyebrow.

"aren't you liking it?" manik back questioned her but the next moment they both burst in laughter.

"oh god srsly. I mean what's happening malhotra ?? You and flirting?. That's something really new" nandu's words made manik lost because he himself was having no idea behind his this change.

"I don't know. But with you I don't feel like uncomfortable or something. Infact this red colour that comes on your face whenever I say something like this makes me happy. HONESTLY EVEN I AM HAVING NO IDEA BEHIND THIS CHANGE BUT I KNOW I AM LOVING It." manik poured out his heart and looked at nandu was smiling at him with her eyes speaking how much content she is feeling by his words .

"Let's go out for lunch. I have checked there is a new Italian restaurant let's go there." Nandini said changing the topic looking at Manik who immediately nodded at her and both left for there destination with Thier hands entwined .
