Manik was tired when he returned from his office. Despite the promise he made to Nandini about returning home early, he was late, courtesy an emergency case that had demanded his attention. Parking the car, Manik collected his office bag and phone from it, before wanting to central lock it, but as soon as his eyes fell on the key chain, he stopped for two seconds, admiring it. He could feel his cheeks hurting from the big, ear to ear smile his face was adorning at its sight. Earlier also, she did have her thoughts running in his system, but these days, it was like she was ruling him like a queen, his queen. Shaking his head he finally locked the car and moved towards the lift to his home.

The door was unlocked, and it made him frown, because Nandini couldn't be seen anywhere in the vicinity of the drawing room, though he could still feel her presence somewhere near. Nandini Malhotra on the other hand, was hiding behind the half open door of the study, watching him with an angry frown and a super cute pout.

Keeping his bag on the couch, he dumped his blazer above it, rolling his shirt to the elbows, simultaneously calling out for Nandini.

Nandini slapped her forehead. Why does he have to look so sexily haunting even at the end of the day? She could feel the knots in her stomach, as she saw him loosening the tie, removing the overcoat and opening the first two buttons of his shirt.

Damn her stupid, stupid heart! How she had planned to be angry and how he was forcing her to just go and kiss him!

Manik called out her name walking into the kitchen. He was surprised to see no food prepared, and neither was she answering. He hurriedly checked the bedroom, and could feel his heart beginning to race. Where was Nandini? He didn't want to think the worst, but it wasn't in his control, he didn't know what else to do, so he called her out, one last time, his voice edged higher due to the this unexpected ache paralysing him.

Nandini turned around at his voice, and immediately peeked out, the expressions on his scared face, making her guilty. She immediately banged the door of the study, trying to give him a clue, and that was all Manik needed to run to the study.

Though the distance between the bedroom and the study wasn't great, Manik was till panting when he entered the study, his eyes that were searching for one glimpse of Nandini all around, finally settling on her petite figure standing near his table. He took a few long steps towards her, and hugged her, startling her in the process, but when she felt his heart beating damn loud, she rubbed his back softly, tightening her hold.

" I am here, I am here, Just relax", she whispered into his ears, and finally felt his heartbeats coming to normal.

He broke the hug, only to kiss her forehead, before dropping his on hers. She smiled in response, holding his hand tightly in hers.
