He used washroom freshen up then Nandini went too. Manik was lying on the bed when Nandini came out. He kept his right hand on his forehead and also covered his eyes. Nandini closed the room's curtains to make it dark. She went on to the bed on the other side , an crawled near to Manik. He knew because of the dip in the mattress that Nandini is beside him. But he didn't move . Nandini moved Manik's hand from his forehead and caressed his forehead and his soft locks on his forehead. He slightly opened his eyes and looked at her who was already staring him. She smiled making him smile too and moved ahead and kissed his forehead for some good time and moved back. This was the 1st time he was feeling her lips on him so he was taking in the lovely feeling very happily. As Nandini moved away he opened his eyes , both were staring at each other. Manik moved up a little and kissed the tip of her nose and moved back a little and staring her again. Nandini blushed heavily. Soon both were laying on the bed looking at the ceiling holding each other's palms . After few minutes both feel asleep in the same position. Soon after 2 hrs Nadiya and Maya came to wake them up .

M- Hello Dr. Murthy
Nandini raised her head to see a smiling Manik standing there with a paper bag in her hand.
She smiled back to him with the same tired face. She stood up and went to him. He kept the paper bag on a table kept there and walked towards her. She hugged him hiding her face in his chest. He hugged her back.
