Her insecurities

Chapter 6

Nandini's pov

"Thank you didi" the kids said hugging me

"Thank you for what" I asked giving them the ballons

"For the ice cream, money and ballons"

"Your welcome bacha, you should thank that tall man" I said pointing at manik

The kids nodded and ran to manik whose expressions changed and a smile formed on his lips when the kids hugged him. They left after a little bit and we walked back to the car, I had my ice cream in my hand while amok was driving

"Manik" he hummed

"How much do I owe you" I asked

"For what"

"The food, and I bought the ballons and stuff na" I said pushing the few balloons I bought for myself

"Nandini you are my wife, if I don't spend money on you then who will I spend money on" he said so cutely

"But it was a lot of money manik"

"Doll, do you know how much I make every second" he asked and gosh every time he uses a nickname it makes my heart flutter

"No I dont know" I said and he chuckled

"It has more 0's than you would like so please spend as much as you want and use the card I put in your wallet" he said

"Ice cream" I said and he looked at me

"No you have it" he said and I frowned

"Who says no to ice cream" I said and forwarding the spoon

"No baby I'm good" he said again

"Pleaseee" I mumbled and he moved his head towards me while driving as I put the spoonful in his mouth

"Its good na" I asked and he nodded

"Manik" he hummed

"Can I keep these" I asked pushing the balloon in the backseat

"Of course you can" he sad smiling at me

"Thank you" I said chewing on my ice cream

A peaceful silence fell between us while Manik drove but my mind was full of shitty things. My whole childhood after dad passed away was shitty, worse than shitty I guess. It got worse in my teenage years until a few years ago when it got better because I met cabir and Navya.

They know about some of the things I went through but not all becasue it hurts to even thing about those things. I know it will be better to tell someone and share things but I don't know if I trust someone to share other than Manik

We got married a month ago and even if it doesn't show, I trust him a lot, he knows my habits which is rare because my god damn family doesn't know shit and a man who has only been with me for a month.

I looked over at Manik who was focused on the road, the frown on his forehead were prominent today. The way he handled me today is commendable, he was so comforting and I felt at peace with him.

"Nandini where are you lost" his voice bought me out of my thoughts making me realize I was staring at him

"Sorry" I mumble

"We are home, should I carry you silly" he teased making me blush

"No ill walk" I said and got out faster than a bolt of lighting, I heard him chuckle a little

I grabbed my balloons and walked behind him in the house, the house was super quiet making me realize that its only 5 in the evening so cabir and Navya aren't home.
