Chapter 19 B

Manik's POV..

"I will not wear this..!"I roared once again and threw the Sherwani away..! Max and Cabir palmed their faces..! Jack hide behind bed board as he was really scared of my gusa While Tiger was sitting total unaware from his surroundings with earphones stuffed in his ears..!

"Manik dekh bhai pehan lay..!"Max pleaded..

"You think I will wear this stupid sherwani..!"I roared again..

"Manik..! You will look like a prince charming in it..!"Jack said in a sugary voice still hidden behind the bed...!

"Teri tou..!"I yelled and run to punch him..!

"Tiger..! Bachaoa..!"Jack shouted and hide behind Tiger..

"You moron chup q raha hai..!"I shouted and finally Tiger stood up..

"Calm down you all..!"He said softly and then look at me..!

"Tiger dekh na yaar they all want me to wear this stupid sherwani for my own birthday party..!"I said hell annoyed..

"Manik..! You are going to get married with Nandini once again tonight that's why they all want you to wear this..!"Tiger said in a straightforward tone and I sighed..!

"Tiger..! Why you spoiled the surprise..!"Cabir said angrily..

"Yeah..! We wanted to surprise Manik..!"Max too said sadly..

"Come on guys..! You think wo bina reason k ya sherwani pehny ga? You can't hide all this from him..!"Tiger said casually and I smiled..

"Guys..! There is no need of all this..!"I said softly and sat on the bed..

"Q bay? Need q nahi hai..! You have to marry our sister in front of everyone..! We have called all your business friends everyone..! Give her the deserved honor man..! The honor which she deserves being Malhotra's daughter in law..!"Jack said sitting beside me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder...! Hearing the word honor my mind roamed towards Nandini and Tiger being siblings..! I was unsure of their reactions. I had a doubt that Nandini will feel really hurt..! What if Tiger's father came to know about Nandini's existence..! Ahhh These Dad's always so cruel..!

"What are you thinking man?"Cabir shook my shoulder..

"Ummm nothing..! Ok alright..! But how will we manage all functions at a time?"I asked..

"Tu us ki tension na lay..! Don't underestimate fab 5 yaar..! First you and Nandini will perform the necessary rituals us k liye we want you to wear this sherwani as Nandini is also wearing some traditional according to girls party..!"Max said shrugging his shoulders...

"After that you can change if you want to..! Phir reception pay we will cut your birthday cake..! Baat khatam..!"Cabir clicked his fingers and I sighed..

"You all are impossible.!"I said annoyed because of their stupid arrangements..

"Aray humy chood bhai..! Tu ja aur change kar time ni hai hmry pass..! In evening you have to get married and in night tery ko birthday boy I mean man bana'na hai..! "Jack said and pushed me inside the bathroom..! I gave him a 'tjy dekh loon ga' glare and went inside the bathroom..!

"Kya pata Jack koi dreamgirl mil jye aj kay funtion me..!"I heard Cabir's playful sigh and I smiled. Both of them were totally useless..

---------------------------------------------

I was alone in my room and was gelling my hair when I heard girls shouts that means Nandini was back..! I immediately ended up my gelling session and was about to step out of the room when suddenly Mukti pushed me back..

"What? Is Nandini back?"I asked excitedly as she must be looking beautiful in wedding dress..

"You are not allowed to see her..!"Mukti said pushing me more inside..

"What the hell? She is my wife tu hat peechy..!"I roared..

"Oncha bool k gala phaadny ka koi faida nahi hai..!"Cabir came with his taunt..

"Kya yaar Manik..! Third class Romeo ki trha q behave kar ra hai..!"Jack said and my blood boiled..

"Third class Romeo kis ko bola tu ny?"I shouted and was about to grab his collars when Tiger came between us..

"Stop it..!"He said coldly..

"Mukti..! Alya is calling you..! Nandini is not comfortable with her shoes..!"Max came and said casually..! What her shoes must be hurting..!

"What happened to her? Is she ok? Ziada dard ho ra hai usy kya?"I asked worriedly..

"Manik let us handle her..!"Mukti said politely but I pushed her away and run to see Nandini..! I heard my friends shout behind me as they all followed...

--------------------------------------

Nandini's POV..

"Alya these shoes..! It's hurting very much..!"I said to Alya again as she made me sit on my bed I was all ready for the marriage ceremony but shoes were so annoying..! Before Alya could say anything the room door banged open and Manik rushed in..!

"Baby? Ziada dukh ra hai? Show me..!"He said worriedly and sat in my feet..! All others too came in and I was so embarrassed..

"Manik..! Kya kar rahy hain ap? Get up..!"I said softly and tried to made him get up..

"Aray abhi Max told that your shoes are hurting..!"He said still hell worried. He held my feet and started removing my shoes ..

"Manik no..!"I tried to push him he was touching my feet..! That too like this it was so embarrassing..! What must his friends thinking..?

"Guys..! Come out..!"Suddenly Tiger bhai said and all run out..! Leaving us alone..!

"Manik..! Get up..!"I said softly and finally he got up..! "Kya kar rahy hain ap..! Why are you touching my feet..! Ap kay friends kya soch rhy hoon gay?"I complaint as he sat beside me..

"Nothing matters to me..! Why are you feeling so embarrassed...! Listen it's ok..! My friends know me so koi tension ni..!"He said casually and I smiled..

"I know baba..! I know you care for me..! But acha ni lagta na..!"I said lovingly and cupped his left cheek. He snuggled in my palm and suddenly he held my hand..

"Wow..!"He uttered staring at my hands..! I smiled more brightly..! He was constantly staring at my hena cladded palms..!

"Will you keep staring? Tareef nahi karen gay?"I asked playfully and in response he kissed my palms..! Then he look at me and made me stand..! Then he took two steps back and scanned me from head to toe..!

Chapter 19 C

"I love you..!"He said in a hurry shaking his head and pulling me towards him he slammed our lips..! For a second or so I was shocked but then I too replied with equal favor as my hands traveled in his hair..! He was not letting me go though I was going short of breath..! I forcefully broke the kiss he panted heavily..

"Manik..! Relax..!"I shushed him by tracing my fingers in his hair and he joined our foreheads..!

"You are so beautiful..!"He whispered in my ear and I smiled..

"You are not less too..!" I said playfully and he laughed loudly.. he was really looking awesome in that white sherwani!

"Acha your shoes..! Should I order more?"He was back in his caring mood..

"Manik Nandini..! We don't have time for your romance..!"Before I can speak Cabir bhai shouted from outside..! Manik rolled his eyeballs and I rested my head on Manik's chest finding solace..

-----------------------------------

Manik's POV..

"Dulhan ko bulaye..!"Pandit spoke after I sat in mandap. I must say the arrangements were so pretty. My friends were so quick. Pink theme was complementing everyone's dresses.

"Ji pandit ji..!"Mutki spoke and she run to get Nandini..! After sometime Nandini came. Oh my beauty girl..! She was looking so gorgeous. How will I tell you Nandini that how much I love you..! She was wearing a pink lehenga choli..! Her hands the color of Mehndi was so red and dark. There must be my name hidden in it I will find it for sure..! Soon Mukti and Alya made Nandini sat beside me..! She stumbled a little due to heavy Lehenga and I immediately held her..! She clutched my shoulder tightly..

"Are you ok?"I asked softly and she nodded smilingly..

"Nandu theek ho na?"Tiger too came from behind..

"Am ok bhai..!"She replied to him and he stood behind us with Mukti..! I held Nandini's hand and we started the rituals with Pandit ji..! Between all this Cabir excused himself for a call while all other buddies were standing behind us..

"Kanyadaan kay liye dulhan kay peta ji ko bulaye..!"Pandit ji announced and Nandini look at me with sad eyes..! Before I could do anything..

"Main karoon ga kanyadaan Pandit ji..! Main bhai hoon..!"Tiger spoke as he came forward and Nandini's eyes had a never ending spark..! I look at Maa she too was looking at me..! They both had the right to know that they were real siblings..! Suddenly I started feeling guilty..! I was committing a crime..! Tiger completed the ritual and Nandini was smiling ear to ear..! She had a glow..! The connection they both were feeling at that time was witnessed only by me and Maa..! Maa had tears in her eyes..! Then we stood up for seven vows..! My buddies throwing loads of flower petals on us..! Vermilion..! Nuptial chain..! Finally the wedding was done..! During the whole session Nandini didn't left my hand..! Then we walked towards Maa first to take the blessings..! Then my eager buddies pounced upon us to greet..! Except for Tiger as he was standing a little away staring at us with a soft smile on his face..!

-----------------------------------------------

Nandini's POV..

Tiger bhai was standing away from us..! I freed my hand from Manik's grip and walked towards him..!

"Thank you bhai..!"I said in a little voice as I was really feeling very emotional. I bent down to touch his feet but he stopped me..!

"Hey what are you doing? Behan ki jaga dil main hoti hai..!"He said smilingly and held my arms..! "I am so lucky to have a sister like you..! Though I don't have a blood relation with you but still you will not find me less than the real one..!"He said cupping my cheeks and tears rolled off my eyes..!

"Bha-bhai ma-main..!"I stammered going loss of words and he leaned more closer until his lips touched my forehead..! I banged in his chest and he hide me in his embrace..! I cried and cried..

"Hey..! Shh..! Your husband will kill me for making you cry this much..!"He said in an emotional voice and I let out a sad chuckle..! But the tears intensity was not coming to an end..!

"Nandini..!"Manik called me. I broke the hug and turned to Manik. He gently wiped my tears and hugged me..! Tears and tears..! Don't know what was happening..! "Why are you crying baba?"He said patting my head..! I sniffed in his chest I didn't care what everyone was thinking about me..!

"Guys..! We are getting late for the last function of this eve..!"Cabir bhai tried to clear the matter..!

"Manik Nandini..! Your dresses are in your room..! Go and get changed..!"Mukti said in a cheerful voice. But I wasn't letting go Manik..!

"Baby..! Agr tum aisy he roti raho ge aur mjy jany nahi do ge tou we will get late for the party..!"Manik said as from last 30 minutes I was sobbing in his chest we were in our room..!

"I am sorry..! Pta ni why I am getting so emotional..!"I said looking at him finally..

"It's ok..! I love you..! Bus promise me that you won't cry..!"He smiled and peck my forehead..

"I promise..!"I too smiled and kissed his cheek..!

"Aisa krty hain you get ready here aur main guest room me jaata hoon..! Don't take much time ok?"He said caressing my cheek with his knuckle and I nodded..! He picked up his clothes and went out..! I too wiped my tears and got up to change..!

Manik's POV..

I wore my blazer finally..! Hmm I was looking a lot handsome in that royal blue blazer..!

It was perfect..! I look at my watch it was 10 already. Only two hours left in finishing my birthday so we have to get hurry..! I walked out of guest room to get Nandini..! I knocked our room door as her privacy was important for me..

"Ji aa jayen..!"I heard her voice and I slowly walked in..

"Are you ready jaan? It's 10 already we are getting late..!"I asked as her back was towards me..! She was struggling with her earrings..!

"Ji am ready bus these earrings..!"She was still struggling..! I smiled and walked towards her she was looking stunning in royal blue gown..!

"Main help kar doon?"I asked politely..

"Please..!"She said helplessly and turned towards me..! I gasped..! So much of beauty in a lady..! She gave a what look and my trance broke..! I gently helped her with earrings and she mouthed a thank you. She turned to leave but I took her in a back hug..!

"Man-Manik..! Kya kar rhy hain..! Leave me na..!"She stammered as my fingers lazily run on her bare back..!

"Nopes..! First let me adore my wife..!"I spoke huskily and kissed her shoulder..

"We are getting late Manik..!"She argued again..! I turned her slowly and she smiled..!

"Haan I know..! But I don't want to go..! Let's do 'our' stuff na..!"I said naughtily and tried to kiss her but she palmed my lips.

"Haawww..! Besharam..! Chii..! Chup..!"She said widening her eyes as much as she could..!

"What besharam?"I said with a fake shocked expressions..! "Have you forgotten the 'last night'..?"I asked naughtily and she blushingly lowered her face..

"Oh God Nandini..! How much will you blush?"I asked hell engrossed in her beauty and cuteness..! "I never knew kay 21st century ki larkiyaan itnaa sharmati hain..!"I said naughtily full teasing mood on..

"Manik..! Bus na please..!"She said blushing like hell and hide her face in my chest..! I laughingly wrapped my arms around her..!"Manik..! Tiger bhai bohat achy hain na?"She asked tracing her finger on my chest and again tension started building up inside me..

"Yeah..! I know him since childhood..!"I said softly..

"I wonder..! Agr un ki behan aj zinda hoti tou wo kitny khush khush hoty na?"I don't know what was going on in her mind..! I have to lie once more..

"Haan..! Agr zinda hoti you bilkul tmhry jaise hoti..!"I said breaking the hug and cupped her cheeks..! "Nandini sometimes in life na hmy kuch aisy truths ko accept krna parta hai jo bht bitter hoty hain..! And you are my very strong girl na..! Promise me that koi bhi problem aye you and me we will fight against it together..!"I said in an assuring tone and to seal the promise she tiptoed to kiss me..!

"Manik..! It's 11 pm..! Where the hell were you both? Hmy na tum dono ko akela choodna he ni chye tha..!"Mukti yelled as soon as me and Nandini entered the venue..!

"Relax..!"I said placing my hands on her shoulders and she sighed..! I look at Nandini and saw her staring at the arrangements..! I too noticed everything and the only word escaped my lips was 'WOW'...! The royal blue party theme was breathtakingly beautiful..!

"The arrangements are so pretty..!"Nandini shouted happily and all the business men and people present in the hall stared at her..! But she didn't cared for anyone's eyes that's what I like about her the most..!
