MaNan TS : Our Little Blessing

Chapter 1

It's True that, with a NEW DAY comes NEW HOPE.

Life is not always the happily ever after but we sure can make it our happily ever after.

Every life has, Sadness; Happiness, Tears; laugh, Sorrow; Joy, Problems; Solutions.

So it's all about facing problems & finding it's solution, not running away from them. Remember Problems are not stop signs, they are the guidelines.

Affliction, agony, misery, depression, heartbreak, pain & misfortune are part of Life.
At some point in their life, a person has to face these things.

So never give any moment of your life, the tag of best or worst cuz after every dark night comes a bright day and no one knows what destiny has in bag for us.

I woke up with the sun shining brightly, birds chirping, and a beautiful aroma of pancakes. A smile tugged on my lips but didn't even last a minute, it turned into a frown. Everything seemed happy except me. Tears welled up in my eyes, but No. I shouldn't cry. I can't. I won't.

I went inside the washroom, brush my teeth, and hop in the shower. The hot shower doing nothing but calming my nerves and relaxing my muscles. Once I get out of the shower, I wrap a towel around me and run to my walk-in-closet. When I was fully dressed, I stare at myself in my full length mirror, making sure I looked good. I had on my blue skinny jeans with a beige shirt and a white blazer.

I wore my watch and earrings. Usually I don't put make-up but today when I saw my face on mirror, I looked awful. I had bags under my eyes, which were blood red because of crying. So I did the necessary make-up to hide it.

I went down and saw him making breakfast. He was only in his boxers, pouring the syrup over the stack of pancakes. But his face was pale and his eyes were also red.

"Nandu, you're awake.. Chalo come & have breakfast. See what I've made, your favourite french toast and pancakes. But hey, why are you dressed in formals?" He was behaving so casually as if nothing happened. I know he's doing all this to cheer me, and I understand, I'm trying too. But couldn't.

"Why means, We are going to office right?!"

"No we aren't. Today we'll take a day off and only enjoy!" He said smiling. but it was fake. "So you quickly change, main bhi fresh hoke aata hu"

Before he could walk past me, I caught his wrist so I was facing his back.

"You don't need to pretend Manik." My voice came out shaky than I intended.
Next thing, he immediately turned and hugged me tightly. He hasn't spoke to me since yesterday evening neither have I. He has locked all his emotions, just for my sake. I can't thank god enough for sending him in my life. But at the same time it's so miserable seeing my saviour, my hero, my LOVE, like this. Just in que, I felt my shoulders wet, that's when I realised he's crying, it made my eyes wet.
I gently ruffled his hair while I was trying to be strong. But failed. And soon a strangled sob came out of my throat.

"Why Mani Why! Why did god punish us like this.. I'm sorry Manik, I failed today. As a wife. As a woman." When I remember whatever happened, it breaks my heart. Shattered is the better word for it.

"Shhh Shona please don't say that, you are a fabulous woman and a perfect wife. I love you for whatever you are!"

"Par jo hua, it's all my fault! l I-I d-don't even deserve you. Why are you with me, Manik t-tum kisi aur se shaadi-" I wasn't in my senses, I was just speaking whatever came into my mind.

"Nandini!" He roared in an attempt to make me come out of those stupid thoughts. "Shut up okay, Just Shut up ! Paagal ho gayi ho tum. Are you even listening to yourself, do you have any idea what you are talking.. Please don't think all that" I started sobbing badly listening to him.

I don't know for how long we cried in each other's arms, when Manik broke the hug. He wiped his own tears then cupped my cheeks & wiped mine, then kissed my forehead and said "Jaan, w-we'll stay strong. We are always there for each other na. Don't cry. Please."

I merely nodded and hugged him once again. I pondered over what he said and mentally agreed to it. He's right, always is. I broke the hug and said after wiping my remaining tears.

"Yes Mani, we'll overcome this. Together." I pulled up a smile and we both went to change.
I quickly changed into my skin tight leggings with navy blue knitted crop top. Then I wore my black bellies and headed down.

When I went down, I saw Manik standing there, busy on his phone. He's wearing a light blue T-shirt which defines his well-built torso with a blue skin fit jeans and a pair of brown converse.

"Ready?!" He asked when he saw me to which I nodded and said "Yeah!"

I locked the door and hopped into the Car.

"Mani, where are we going?"

"Jaan, we're going to beach!" Aww, he knows me so well.

"Beach !! Yayyy..!" I was so excited, maybe even looked like a toddler but I could care less.

I told Manik to off the AC and then rolled down the window. The weather was beyond beautiful. Neither sunny nor rainy. So pleasant. Suddenly the Car came to halt with a jerk. It was so sudden that my head got hit by the dashboard.

"Aahh Manik, kya kar rahe-" I couldn't even sentence as I saw him removing his seatbelt and rushing out of the car. What is he doing?!

I too rushed behind him and what I saw shocked me.
