I Need You To Be There.... For a little more than Always!

Part 77:

Nandini's pov:

The moment Manik looked at his face in his phone he gave us a deadly glare before launching on towards the two of us. Nayan shrieks out loud making me join her as the two of us run outside the room. We both r trying our best to laugh and run, but I guess the combination of both is not very effective.

He targets Nayan and ran after her as I looked at the blurring figures around me. The house that was always as calm as a dead sea suddenly seemed to be alive. It was only just me, who lived here alone, ever since I got this constructed and today watching the two of them made me laugh harder at the irony.

Its a frenzy, I don't think this house was ever designed for this. It was never a family house, it was called as the Nanz Villa, just was a single popular girl to live alone. It was designed for fancy dinners, cocktail parties, professionalism, cold hearted stares. And definitely not a young guy running after a toddler.

The next minute, Nayan was lying on the sofa as Manik stood beside her tickling her stomach as a punishment. While the little girl continued wriggling in his mercy.

Abhi: What the hell is happening??

Came Abhi's voice behind me...

All three of us turned towards them but their eyes were fixed on something behind me, I turned around to realise it was Manik. And well the next minute all five of them were laughing their guts out, Cabir was almost rolling on the floor, while Mukti was leaning over Abhi pity much same as Aliya.

Manik was busy glaring at all of them as I slowly pulled out my phone and clicked a picture of his, only to get noticed by him.

Manik: YOU....

Manik shouted at me seething with anger as I ran away from him. I rushed towards the others him following me as I tossed my phone to Cabir.

"Save it as ur dear life Cabira!!"

I shouted as I took the flight of stairs moving upstairs.

Manik: U r so dead Nandini...

I heard Manik mutter as he followed me upstairs.

I entered my room and tried to close the door behind me but he was too fast to block it by his leg. Not wanting to hurt him at all, I ran inside the room leaving the door open. He chased me inside as I laughed out loud moving on towards the Balcony. Manik ran after me only to get hold of my hand as tackled me down on the couch and before I knew I was stuck between him and the couch.

I breathed heavily by all the running and laughing and his close proximity didn't help as well. I closed my eyes calming myself down but the moment I opened my eyes, I bursted out in laughter again. His eyes were glittering blue, with pitch red lipstick under his eyes all the way to his eyes. His lips painted golden and rest was his face had pink blush on it.

I couldn't help but laugh at his face, Manik continued looking at me with absolutely no expression on his face until his lips broke into a grin.

I noticed his smile as my laughter calmed down before he got over me and sat along still smiling. I got up looking at him confused. I had expected a completely opposite reaction from him and here he was smiling.

Nandini: Why are u smiling?? U r not angry?

I asked him slowly when he turned towards me. I noticed the softness in his glittering eyes as he whispered,

Manik: I just hvn't seen u so happy for so long, I don't mind if it's on my cost until u keep that happiness intact.

His words melted down my heart in an instant as I looked down at my hands a slight smile take over my face.
