After their confession:
Like the whole night they think about each other and go to sleep.
Next morning Manik comes over with flowers and a picnic basket.
This is how it would go.
He would come in and greet chacha, chahchi and Rishab.
Then would ask chachi for permisson and go to nandani.
He would go to his room and watch her sleeping like a baby, he would move the hair strand behind her hair and watch her sleeping while holding her phone.
He takes the phone away and surprised to find his picture there.
He smiles at her cuteness.
Nandani wakes up and sees Manik, She smiles and says:
"Good Morning Manik" She comes into her senses and
"MANIK! You! HERE!" and then she goes back to sleep slighting hitting herself on the forehead.
"Nandu you are again dreaming about him! why would he come here? He must be at home sleeping like baby, in his shorts and shirts." She hugged her pillow super tight while whispering that to herself.
Manik just smiled at her cuteness and would finally kiss her on her cheeks to wake her up.
"Good Morning Princess!"
Nandani instantly opened her eyes!
"Manik!" She yelled and got up right away.
"What are you doing here? What if chachi sees you? What if chacha sees you? Omgod just go. Manik why aren't things normal with you? Why do they have to be so dangerous and complicated Manik? Listen just gooo, Manik" He kiss her straight on her lips leaving her shocked.
"Mannni..." He moves forward to kiss her again.
"One more word and I promise you this kiss will lead to a lot of other things that you might not want to happen THIS early miss. sloooww"
Nandani immediatly puts finger on her lips.
"Get ready! I have to show you something!"
"But.. " He moves forward.
"I am going out and you have ( looks at his watch) ten mintues to get dressed. As you know I don't like waiting. And every mintue will cost you a lot, a lot [ he said as he leaned closer and closer]. Get ready. ten mintues, I am waiting."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Manik but where are we going and why are my eyes blindfolded."
"Because I want this to be super special"
"Manik being with you is literally the most special thing that could ever happen to me."
"Okay. Miss. Slow ready for your surprise."
he helps her come out of the car and opens her blindfold.
"Oh. My... God Manik... "
They were on top of a hill, and she was able to see the whole city from there. It was not only the top of the hill, but there was a camping tent, two chairs, bone fire, stove, flowers, lights around the tent and on the ground it said, "Nandani, come lets make a home together."
---------------------------------------
Manik just stood there watching his Nandani smile and admire this entire scene with his arm folded around his chest. He looks up
"Mr. Ayaapa, I think we have ever met. But this is definitly the first time we are officially talking. Honestly, I really don't want anything .. for myself. Can you just do me a favor? Keep Her happy [points at Nandani] she believes in you more than anything please, give her all the happiness stored in this world and me? Just always bless me with my shinning star. I hope you are listening?"
He was looking up and talking when Nandani calls him out with tears in her eyes, he looks at her and opens his arms, she immediatly runs in his arms.
They passionatly hug each other for few mintues.
"Hey. Why are you crying?" he asked her as he felt his shirt getting wet.
"Manik .. Manik.. how can you love me so much?"
"hey, [ departs from the hug and cups her face] I don't only love you for who you are but for who i am when I am with you. Nandani, Nandaani, you have changed my life, you have changed Manik, this is literally nothing ... this is just the begining. We have a lot of fun to experience together." he winks at her and give her that smirk.
"Maanik" she said as she sightly punched him in the chest and hugged him again.
"And by the way madam who told you that I love you soo much? I just did this because I needed a new place to practice music so I thought my girlfriend should be the first person to witness this place." he said as they started walking toward the tent hand in hand.
"offcourse offcourse. When did I say that you did so much effort for me? I wish I was that lucky that my boyfriend would do something like this for me. Manik.. what do you think about abhimanyu?"
Manik stops walking.
"Nandani, why do you care about Abhimanyu?" he said as he stood infront of her.
"Just because"
"but still why? You really think I didn't do all this for you? You really think this is just a place for me to practice on top of some random hill?"
"yeaah, but Abhimanyu .."
"What abhimanyu? What about him?" Manik said with his hands folded around his chest with Anger starting to kick in.
"Abhi is.. soo .. soo.. " she said as she started walking backward.
"Soo what? [he started moving towards her]"
She stopped and pushed him and yelled.
"I won't tell you, you jealous monkey!"
She ran around, with Manik chasing her.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nandani, Nandani stop! Nandani" Manik yelled as he continued to ran behind her.
"Manik is jealous, he is jealous, Manik is a monkey, Jealous monkey." She laughed out of this world while saying this.
"Nandani watch out you will .. " and before he could finish it she sliped into a mud puddle getting all her face and outfit wet.
She stood up with her arms all out and mud dripping down her face. Manik tried controlling his laughter for about five second but then he bursted into this crazy laughing session and Nandani just stood there trying to figure out what to do with this crazy boyfriend of hers.
"AHAHHAHA! What happened now Nandani? I was asking you to go SLOWWW, very SLOWWW. Ahahhahahah, but you continue to go super fast. See, this is what happens when you don't listen to adults." He said as he held his stomach and laughed his eyes out.
"I hate you Manik. So rude you are." She said as she sat on the grass almost about to cry.
"array array, my bubbba. I was just joking na baba. Here I am holding my ears." Manik said as he made that cute little puppy face.
"Hey! That's cheating!"
"what's cheating baba"
"You can't just make that cute face and get away with everything."
"Ohhh! So, my cute face works on Ms. Nandani Morthy too" he said as he sat down next to her.
She looked up and down, "n.. noo. Why would it work on me?"
"okay baba, it doesn't work on you. Now let's go get you something to wear before you get sick." He said as he stood up and offered her his hand.
"Actually Manik, I have a better idea."
"what?"
She pulled her arms out and said, "carry me in your arms pleaseee. My toe hurts really bad."
He gave her that, "really" look and then picked her up and said, "Anything for my princess"
------------------------------------------------------
She walked out of the tent wearing a really pretty long red dress, with her long hair flowing at the back. The minute she walked out Manik couldn't stop looking at her. He started walking towards her and she started walking towards him. They finally came and stood infront of him.
He continued to stare at her while she looked down. He lifted up her chin with one hand while intwining the other hand with hers and then gently bringing his hand towards her neck, brushing her arm and neck; giving her goose bumps.
He caressed her face first with his finger than with his nose. Her face was cupped between both of his hands, her hands were around his neck, their eyes were closed and just lost in the moment.
Manik kissed her forehead, her right eye, then left, nose, right cheek, left cheek, chin, neck and then gently coming up trying to kiss her lips.
"Maan.."
"shhhshhh.. don't" he whispered breathing really hard.
He brought his lips really close to her and right when he was about to kiss her she hugged him really tight, that did nothing but made Manik smile on her cuteness.
"hmmm, so if I remember you had to finish some serious statement about your favorite Abhimanyu." He said while hugging
"Manik?"
"hmmm"
"Don't kill the moment"
"ahhaha. Okay baba sorry."
They depart from their hug and hold hands, Nandani puts her head on his shoulder.
"Nandani?"
"hmmm"
"what were you saying about Abhimanyu?"
"Jealous monkey?"
"Me and jealous? Never"
They finally sat in-front of the bonfire on the grass. Nandani sat down and Manik laying in her lap.
"Nandani you really think Abhimanyu is better than me?" he said as he intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Maanik, what do you think?" She said as she massaged his hair.
"I don't know" he said as he played with her fingers.
"Manik, you don't need to be jealous. Just look at us, in spite of all our attempts of keeping each other away from each other we continue to stay close and strong. We couldn't stop ourselves from coming this close to each other. And to be honest I don't care about the extreme anymore as long as I have you with me Manik, I don't need anything else. 😳Now think about it as long as we are together we can handle the extreme very slowly." She said as she caressed his hair and gave him a small peck on his forehead.
Manik sat up and made Nandani sit on his lap. He started playing with her hair.
"I never knew someone would mean so much too me."
"How much?" she asked as she slid her hand around his neck.
He cupped her face and brought his lips closer to hers and kissed her. Starting from a peck ,the kiss turned into a real passionate one and fireflies surrounding them with the light of their love.
