"manik trust me it will be fun. Let's goo" nandu said making a cute pout

"but I don't feel comfortable there" manik said sadly.

"but I will be with you. Trust me it will be fun. Just don't look at other people. Concentrate on the ones you love. Than you will be comfortable" nandu said holding his hand while manik finally agreed.

It was Saturday night and everyone decided to go for clubbing. Manik was reluctant to not go there as he never went to such places. But how can nandu let manik leave alone. Soo she was convincing him to come with them.

Nandu jumped in happiness because it was soo long she hasn't went for partying soo looked at manik for thanking him but found discomfort in his eyes by just that mere idea which disheartened nandu.

"let me go and change" manik said and left for changing while nandu stood there lost in her thoughts but soon she moved downstairs.

"dii." she called out mukti who was almost ready.

"hn nandu . Why are you not ready yet?"

"di. Actually i am suddenly having headache. So can I stay at home? I don't feel like going in loud music" nandu said holding her head.

"Ohh.. You want me to massage your head. Wait let me tell alya that I am not going. I can go someother time. Now you just lay down. I will come with balm and medicine." mukti said panicking which fluttered nandu's heart with different kind of happiness. The kind of care Mukti's eyes held made her smile.

" dii relax. No need to cancel the plan. You all move. Manik is there for me. I told him about my headache so even he is staying and you know when it comes to stubbornness manik is way ahead us. Soo just relax i am moving in my room you all can go." nandu just smilingly making mukti understand and left for her room.

Entering inside she saw manik moving from left to right holding two outfits.

" manik?"

" oh thank God nandu tum Aa gayi. Woh I was not able to decide what to wear. I never went in club na soo I don't know how to dress up. Tell me na which one I should pick.?" manik said all confused.

"you don't need to choose any!!"nandu said calmly.

" why? Am I going in my night suit" manik said getting more worked up.

"no . You are not going there. Woh I am having a headache and I obviously need someone to take care of me. And you are my husband soo it's your duty to take care of me. Soo I decided you will stay with me" nandu said in a commanding tune and looked at manik expecting him to be happy but got confused seeing his worried face.

"you Are having headache? And you are telling me now? Wait let me call doctor. No. Let's go to hospital for checkups. What if it is serious. No we can't take risk nandu you go and get my car keys i will just Come taking my wallet." manik said in one breath leaving nandu shocked. Here she was expecting him to jump in happiness and there he is increasing his blood pressure blabbering nonsense.

Now she was confirmed mukti and Manik are surely having same blood!! Both got hyper for no reason.

"manik relax. It's just a headache. Forget hospital even doctor is not needed. Trust me. Now relax Okey?. I am just sleeping you also come." nandu said and moved towards washroom grabbing her night suit whereas just by the way nandu was not looking in his eyes by saying those words manik knew nandu was lying.

He smiled at her gesture and taking his phone moved to balcony.

Soon everyone left saying get well soon and advises to nandini whereas she felt guilty for making them all worried.

"Nandu" manik said sitting beside her on bed.

"hmm?"

"let's eat something. I am feeling hungry"

"ohkey. Wait oh shit. I thought we were going out for dinner soo I asked cooks to go home early. Aab Khaana?" nandu said making a sad face

"um. See we both aren't good chefs but we aren't bad chef either. So why not cook together?" manik said flashing his 32 teeths.

"Good idea Captain. So !!" nandu said dramatically and giggling both left towards kitchen.

"But banaye kya?" Manik said digging his face in refrigerator searching for nothing in particular .

"Let's eat pasta?" Nandu said excitedly

"Okey. Which one red or white sauce ?"

"Mix sauce pasta with extra spice . You know abhi Bhai has mastered it. I just love pasta made by his hands. I know the receipe why not try that ?" Nandu said licking her lips while Manik nodded gladly.

"Yepiee..let me see if the ingredients are there or not "

"Okey. Till than I will search the recepie . In case we need them. And yeah movie with pasta?"

"Yeah. Last time too we missed movie. Soo let's watch one. Umm but which one?"Nandu again got lost thinking about the movie.

"Something which doesn't have any fighting scene . I hate voilance." Manik concluded.

"Great we will watch romantic movie."

"DDLJ . My evergreen time pass ?"Manik asked making a hopeful face to which Nandu smilingly nodded.

"Great than let's cook fast. "He said

____

"Auuch" Nandu shouted making Manik worried.turning towards her he saw her yelling in pain holding her small finger from which blood was coming.

"Shit. See I was telling you that I will cut the veggies . But no how can you ever listen to me. Now you have hurt yourself. Is that paining much?" Manik asked her worriedly and taking her finger in his mouth started sucking it.

Whereas Nandu looked at his face with her tears replaced by a huge smile.

"Is it hurting now?"Manik asked after few minutes bringing Nandu back from her land.

"No it's still hurting. Keep doing that it's giving me relief " Nandu said making an innocent face and again started adoring Manik who was cutely sucking her finger trying to reduce her pain.

After few minutes

"Nandu let me apply medicine . I guess it's quite deep cut"

Listening to medicine Nandu immediately took her finger back and started looking everywhere but him.

"Woh it's Okey now. I am not feeling any pain now " Nandu said passing a smile whereas Manik found it quite weird.

"Nandu are you trying to avoid medicine ?" Manik asked raising his eyebrow taking her hands in his.

"Noo..Woh I am feeling Okey sachi main !! Don't you believe me ?" Nandu asked innocently

"Sure no pain?"

"Sure pakka !!" Nandu smiled looking at him.

"Great than I am cutting the vegiees" manik started doing his work while Nandu dreamingly looked at her finger and smilingly kissed it.

-----

"Aare I am telling you 7 spoons" Nandu again argued.

"Nandu 7 spoons of red chilli is too much. Trust me 3-4 is better." Manik again tried to make her understand

"Manik trust me you just add 7 spoons I have seen abhi Bhai. And I never doubt his receips he is a great cook!! "

"Fine. But still I am warning you 7 spoons are too much ." Manik said seeing no use of argument.

"Manik aare you are doubting my talent aaive hi ...though I don't cook much but when I do I can give hard compitition to Sanjeev Kapoor too " Nandu said raising her collars.

(Her night suit)

Manik sighed in disbelief and let Nandu do whatever she wants.

--

Both were sitting in the theatre room with their pasta and coffee in hands .

"Manik you taste first " Nandu said looking at the plate though it was looking tasty but not what they have expected. It's colour was different from the one they imagined.

"umm.. Its soo tasty. I am gonna eat whole of it!!" manik said snatching the bowl and started eating it making faces as if it's very tasty.

"haw.. I worked so hard for it. And only you get to eat. That's soo unfair." nandu said making a sad pout and started snatching pasta from manik but manik was quite adamant not to give her the bowl.

"manik you are soo mean" nandu said trying again to snatch the bowl but manik didn't gave it to her.

"ugh.. Manik you know I wanna confess" nandu said her voice suddenly changing to honey sweet voice. Manik looked at her suspiciously

"What you wanna confess?" manik asked raising his eyebrows.

Bending more towards him nandu started looking in his eyes sweetly whereas manik was looking at her with all his love when he felt something being snatched from his hand.

And in other second nandu was standing far from her with a winning smirk with pasta in her hand.

Manik let an irritated sigh

"nandu look i even cook more for you but pls give that pasta too me. That's mine and only I will eat it." manik said pleadingly.

"no manik now it's mine. You were teasing me na. Soo now it's your punishment" nandu said smiling mischievously and looking at pasta dreamingly took one bite only to jump shouting

"mirchii" she started jumping whereas manik palmed his face muttering "expected".

Giving water to nandu he made her sit whereas nandu was still faning her tongue.

"manik why didn't you tell me before you eat soo spicy pasta just because of me. Srsly. Your tongue and throat might be burning. And you toh always preffer less chilli. And here bcoz of me you ate soo spicy food " nandu said suddenly her eyes brimming with tears and face fell down.

Manik passed her a small smile.

"I loved that. It was our hard work. How can I not like it." manik said caressing her cheeks kneeling in front of her on his knees.

"your throat is paining?" nandu asked sadly.

"no it's fine" manik said not matching her eyes.

"manik look at me and Tell me is it paining?" nandu asked making manik look in her eyes.

"PaNi milega?" manik asked his eyes turned red..

That's when nandu knew how much hard he trying to suppressed​ his pain

Taking his face between her palms she did what she never imagined in her wildest dreams.

Manik who was till now breathing heavily due to his burning throat suddenly felt nandu's uneven breath fanning on his upper lips..

Shockingly he looked at her to see her eyes closed. With his heart beating at an unusual speed he closed his eyes feeling her close to him..

And next second her soft lips touched his hard ones . Pulling her closer to him he too started responding.

It was a soft kiss with no hurry in it.feeling out of breath they both broke apart thier faces totally red.

"umm.. Main woh PaNi leke aati ho" nandu said and ran from there while manik was still lost.
