MaNan's Kiddo (Book 2)

Banglore (Part 7C)

"Accha toh you were saying that the shop owner is going to come at the inauguration" Nandini said putting her ear studs. Manik who was setting his hairs stopped mid way

"Woh he had come..." Manik said and saw her turn to him from the mirror

"Mujhse nahi milvaya tumne..." she said with a frown

"Tumhare jane ke baad aaye the..." he said turning to her and then looking away putting his tie on. And she just looking at her mirror and deciding how to put her hair.

Manik kept tying his tie thinking something and then said "That interior designer..."

"Rishab..." Nandini asked turning again to him with a smile on her face. She met him again in the party in morning. She liked that guy for the reason she didn't want to mention Manik.

"Wasn't that your younger brothers' name" he asked and turn to gauge her reaction. He saw her face turning sotic and she looked at him. Her eyes never lied to him. She liked Rishab because she was finding her Rishab in him, he knew

"Yes" Nandini said turning back and opening a maroon velvet box and saw the hair broach in it.

"Nandini" Manik said standing behind her and she looked up to see him in the mirror

"We are in Banglore..." he said and paused and she kept looking at him.

"Do you want to meet your family?" he asked and she turned to him

"My family is here" she said neating his tie

"You" she said looking at him and smiled adding "Avni, Maa, Dad, Cabir, Navya, Mukti, Abhi, Aliya, Druv, Abhir, Samar, Mahi" she said with a lovely smile

"Yeh meri family hai" she told him and there was no sadness, no remorse, no guilt in her eyes. He bent and kissed her forehead softly

"I love you Mrs Malhotra..." he said his lips touching her fore head and she smiled in bliss

"I love you more Mr Malhotra" she said and he looked down at her. She was looking up at him with love filled eyes

"Happy Anniversary" they said together and then chuckled

"You were waiting for me, weren't you?" they said together and then started laughing. Nandini hugged him holding his coat and he put his arms around her both laughing. They styaed like that. The laughs subsided and they kept standing there in each other's embrace.

Manik's phone rang. Holding Nandini in his arms he picked up and put the phone on speaker

"You have your entry in 10 minutes" he heard Mukti

"I don't think Mukti... we are kind of not ready" Manik said looking at Nandini's open hairs

"Oh what on earth were you doing Manik!" Mukti yelled

"It wasn't me..." Manik said petrified

"This Nandini she started kissing me and wanted a quicky you know" he said smugly and Nandini hit his shoulder

"Ewwww" he heard Mukti

"Too much info" she said in disgust making Manik chucking

"We'll be there Muku" Nandini said and turned to the mirror. She in few seconds made her bun and Manik kept looking. She pinned the hair broach and turned to him flaunting herself

"God you belong to me lady!" Manik said in awe making her giggle

"And you belong to me" she said and pulled him close by his tie

"Are you trying to make my excuse reality." he asked naughtily

Nandini just nodded her head in no and opened the dresser taking out the blue box he saw yesterday in her purse
