CHAPTER 46

I want u to be there.... For a little more than Always!!

Part 46:

Nandini: Manik... We hv a meeting with the Singhania's this afternoon. And apart from that I was thinking of a surprise visit for the DN project site too, we should know how the work is going on. The team is delaying for the progress report for quite a few days now.

Manik: Yeah... I was also going to talk to u about the same. Don't worry, I'll go for the site visit today. U already hv to go with Dhruv for shopping.

Nandini made a bad face at it and then said,

Nandini: U know the only bad thing about weddings.... Shopping!! I mean it never gets over only...

Manik laughed at her frustration and held her hand,

Manik: So who told u to do everything urself. Mukti is going with him na... U can skip it!!

Nandini: No... I want to do everything myself. Manik, u hv no idea how much excited I m about this entire thing... Maybe even more than Aliya herself. Marriage rituals have always fascinated me like nothing else.

Manik smiled at her as he held her hand,

Manik: If thats the case... Then u can do as u wish. In fact, do one thing... Take a break from office for a few days.

Nandini looked at him shocked as he said those words but soon her shocked face was replaced by a stern glare.

Nandini: I m not skipping work for anything.... Get that straight. Already we r going to Udaipur for a week.

Manik: Ohk ohk... Stop scaring me!! U n ur work... No wonder u didn't even take a day off work all these years. God knows how many days u would hv worked amidst illness and fever.

Nandini: Maybe I was just waiting for the time when u notice that illness and force me to take holidays like u do now!!

Nandini said as she moved closer and rested her head on his shoulder.

Manik smiled at her and glanced at the driver who was driving them to office that morning. When he heard Nandini whispering,

Nandini: He doesn't wish to loose this job from his hands by opening up his mouth. I hv already had a word with him.

Her statement made Manik chuckle as he kissed her forehead and Nandini continued,

Nandini: I just realised how much less I hv been working from the past 2-3 months... Precisely from the time when u shifted from Ur 'Ms. Moorthy' to 'Nandini', i think my boss is getting lenient on me.

Manik: Un hmn... No!! Precisely from the time I realised ur worth in my life and my feelings towards u.

Nandini lifted up her head from his shoulder and looked straight into his eyes, to find them glittering with sincerity. She was drowned in his eyes, feeling like the most luckiest girl when the sudden honk by the driver pulled her out of her thoughts.

She looked around to see the driver pulling the car in front of the office building as she moved a little away from him and straightened up her clothes.

Manik: I love ur blush... No matter how well u hide it from others, u should know that u r not too good at hiding it from me.

Nandini blushed further at it as the car stopped.

Nandini: I think I would need time to get used to this side of urs. The usual Monster was much more better u know.

As she said so the watchman opened up her gate and she moved out of the car making Manik chuckle at her words. The guards opened up his door too as he got down.
