Hello Fam. :)

Happy Reading...

Manik and Nandini were sitting peacefully and talking about some random things when Manik noticed something.

Manik(casually): Waise Nandu, tu yeh jeans mein mujhe propose karne aayi? Mujhe seriously laga yeh birthday planning hai.

Nandu(complained while pouting): Manik, main gayi thi shopping. I somehow managed with your dress but jaise hi main apne liye gayi, woh Soha ke sare sisters aa gaye, ‘may I help you’ karke and I left from there. And tu hi toh hai na, how does it matter if I am all dolled up or in a casual wear.

Manik nods in agreement.

Nandu(glared): Lekin, tune mujhe ab tak compliment nahi diya for selecting this shirt for you. Mera first time tha.

Manik(smiled widely): Haan, I know first time tha. I loved this one. In fact, I am thinking of making you choose all my shirts from now on.

Nandu(whined): Tujhe pasand nahi aaya toh bol deta na. Why are you giving me punishment?

Manik(teased): Nandu, yeh sach mein acha tha. I will keep this forever with me. Waise bhi mujhe nahi lagta mujhe second time aisa surprise milega. You know, you going shopping alone.

Nandu punched him lightly. Seeing the time nearing 12, he frowned.

Manik: Nandu, tumhara bday cake?

Nandu(proudly): I have everything prepared, Manik.

She brings a box seeing which Manik glares at her.

Manik(sarcastically): Nandini Murthy, mujhe cake ki jagah pizza box kyu dikh raha hai?

Nandu(coolly): Kyunki yeh pizza box hi hai, Manik. Now stop doubting your eyesight. Come let's cut it.

Manik(disbelieving): Are you seriously gonna cut a pizza on your birthday?

Nandu(seriously): Manik, remember I love pizza more than anything?

Manik(cheekily): Aur mere?

Nandu(staring in his eyes): I love you more than my pizza. (Chuckles) Manik, yaar, I already told this in the restaurant. Kitna acha coincidence ho gaya na?

Manik smiled widely and took a step closer towards her when she pointed the pizza box.

Nandu(declared): Come, let's cut it.

They together ‘cut’ the pizza and fed each other.

Manik(cupping her check): Happy Birthday, Nandini. After listening to your saath vachans to me, even I want to promise a lot many things to you but I am completely at loss of words today.

Nandu(sincerely): You have always kept your unsaid promises since I was born. You don't have to say those words aloud now, Manik.

Manik smiled emotionally and pecked her head. Finishing the pizza, he sat down taking her into a hug. Suddenly, remembering something he asks her.

Manik(frowned): Nandu, tu ek promise kar. You won't ignore me or push me away again.

Nandu(thinking hard): Hmm...lekin agar mujhe space chahiye toh?

Manik(sarcastically): Tujhe ek astronomy ki book gift kar dunga. Space hi space hoga phir.

Nandu glares at him, which he ignores. After minutes of silence,

Nandu(scaredly): Manik, I read an article that relationship mein bahut sare jhagde hote hai. Hamare bhi honge kya?

Manik(amused): Tu kab se yeh articles padhne lagi? Nandu, no article can define us. Hum apni article khud likhenge.
