~Chapter 6~ Is he PMS'ing

NANDINI POV.

What the hell has come to Manik's mind and why is he acting all caring types with me all of a sudden? Is he PMS'ing?!

What was that hug he gave me, and he crying, I mean The Manik Malhotra would cry for me, I am having serious digestion problem! ; okay to conclude he had even lost that pea size brain he had!

But why on earth I didn't push him away?!

Why the hell I became so weak in that moment? I couldn't find any strength to oppose him when he simply said those magically emotional words. "COME HOME NANDINI."

Ugh! I need to check with some psychologist, I think even I have lost it. What else can I expect, living with him under one roof, obviously his company will influence me naa!

Manik Malhotra stop messing with my brain!!

When we reached home, I straight marched in washroom of my room. I need to get a shower to get rid of these crazy thoughts!

"Something happened today. Something just happened!.... Aaiyappa why ME?! " I sigh under the cold water of shower , as I try to clear my mind and think of reasons for his strange reaction towards me. Did he really hug me? I doubted my own memory in a whisper.

After finishing the cold shower, I headed towards his room. Please if I keep on justifying his reason I would sure be seen in Agra mental asylum the next time. So I decided to ask him directly without hindering in wood with the topic.

As I pass his study, I hear a sharp tap on plastic. I stopped on my track and checked for him in his study. Oh! There he is, on his studying table, typing on his laptop vigorously. Such a workaholic husband! I roll my eyes at him. May be I should go back to my room and wait till he comes out. He definitely don't appreciate my presence in this room. So sighing softly I take a U-turn and march towards my room.

"Nandini." I hear his voice from behind. Oh! No! did he just noticed my presence. I wondered.

I think I should get ready for a good class on ethics rules and protocols by famous boring nerd Mr. Manik Malhotra.

But to my surprise he looked up and raised an eye brow at me. " Good morning." he wished with a smile while sipping his coffee , letting one hair fall over his eye.

"Good morning." I try to sound as normal as he is. If he can play this game, even I know how to play! Two can play better mister.

"Is there something you wanted to talk about?" he asks taking painfully slow steps still the cup in his hand. What the hell!!! He has my meow cup! Why do he always does this to me? He knows how much I love my baby. Aaiyaapa! I cry internally.

"Nope." I pops the p' and then turns my back at him, ready to leave the corridor.

He clears his throat just before he speaks. I have noticed it he does this a lot when he is nervous and what ever he is thinking in surely interests me. "So, how about today we go get some dinner out, may be a good 5 star restaurant? Would it work or you have any other plans?" he asked me.

Wait a mimute...
He did not ordered me?!

He didn't even declared his decision?!

He is not dumping on me what he wants, but like in real asking me, my choice? Really!

I should really run and check for the moon where it has rise up from?

I feel so surprise that it leaves me dumbfounded for seconds and Manik had to bear the trouble to repeat himself all over again. This time his finger rubs his arch on face. Not comfortable!
