Nandini
"Hello Manik is your work done" I asked him on call.
"Nope, I will take time, why?" I heard him asking from another side.
"Nahi ,my work is done, I thought if your work is finished you can pick me up" I said to him.
"Shit , I am so sorry bache I totally forgot about it " he told.
"No, it's okay I will book a cab" I informed him.
"Okay, but please careful and please share your cab details before going on it" He instructed me making me smile.
"Okay Mr Malhotra " I said before cutting the call.
I booked and cab and share the details with Manik to which he replied text me when you reach home.
I reached home and got changed into my night dress and went down to see everyone waiting for me at dinning table but Manik was not there.
I told them that I will have dinner with Manik to which everyone gave me a teasing smile which I ignored and settled with them talking on some topics.
"Ammi, badi ammi aap log jao sone mein wait karti hoon na Manik ka" I said as they both work full day at home and they get tired.
"Thik hai beta tu bhi kha lena" Ammi said and hugging them both I sent them to room. I called Manik to ask that when will he come but he didn't picked up. So I sat on dinning table with my phone.
Soon I felt sleepy,I looked at time it 1 Am ,he never came this late or maybe he came but I don't know. I called him again but he didn't picked up making me worried. I stood and went upstairs and went to balcony to see if he is coming or not but I didn't see his car.
I called him again and again but he didn't pick up so I called at office number,the receptionist told me that Manik left the office ten minutes ago.
I sighed but then sudden anger came into me I know he must be busy but atleast he could inform me when I called him so many times.
I went downstairs and went to kitchen and putting food in two plates to warm the food when I felt the door unlocking, ofcourse he have keys.
"You are awake till now" I heard him whisper standing behind me. He didn't even looked at his phone.
"Khana garam kar Diya hai fresh ho jao" I told without turning toward him.
"Please room mein le aana na ,I am very tired " He told me and I nodded, suddenly I felt bad for him,he was busy in my office with my work but at least even if he didn't see my missed call he call me and inform me.
"Tumne bhi dinner nahi kiya" He said as he saw two plates in my hand.
"I was waiting for you" I told keeping the plates on table.
"Oh, already on wifey duty" He said laughing sitting on the sofa .
"Ammi and badi ammi were waiting for you,they got tired working whole day, isiliye I send them to sleep, warna i wouldn't have waited for you " I spoke rudely Sitting beside him on sofa.
Manik
"Ok what's up, what's with this tone of talking" I asked turning my face to look at her.
"Nothing, I am not hungry you finish your dinner" she said standing up taking the plate.
"Nandini keep the plate on table and sit here" I said sternly.
"But..." She didn't completed her talk as I glared at her . Whispering a angry "fine" she settled beside me.I transferred all the food in one plate with spoon and covered it from the empty plate.
