HAPPY HOLI ...MY LOVELY READERS!! Here you go with the update...i hope you like it.
PART 27
Today, most beautiful one month of my life, has passed. Me and manik were going strong. I had fallen in love with him, almost 100 times more in these 30 days. We were less husband-wife and more like teenage girlfriend-boyfriend. He would bring chocolates and roses for me randomly. We would go out on dates, sometimes to a lavish restraunt, sometimes to a special setup done by him, movies were the most frequent, and long drives, they were the best.
And about work-home balance, well, that had just sunk into our systems, over a time. We had worked out a routine and were perfectly happy with it. Friday and Saturday nights were solely ours. Surprisingly , no one disturbed us on these two days not even maa-papa or even mukti. And the funniest part was no one would know , where we are on these two days. And Sunday was, as usual friends day, fab 5, navni day. We would go out to clubs and pubs and let our hair down. The bonding between me, mukti,navya and aliya had grown from strong to strongest. Fab 4 had accepted me as a part OF THEM.
THIS ONE MONTH HAD BEEN BLISSFUL IN EVERY SENSE.
Sice today was Friday and on top of that our one month anniversary, manik had promised to take me out on a bike ride. As usual , i had come back from office early and informed maa-papa-mukti that we won't be home and that tomorrow also we will be late, so that they shouldn't wait for us. They were ok with anything and everything that keeps us happy.
I received a text from manik.
"hey jaan, be ready , i m on my way...:-*"
I smiled. YES , over the last fifteen days, manik had started calling me jaan. I don't know , how and why, this change took place , but just the word jaan from his mouth , made me blush like anything. Just like i m blushing now.
I quickly changed into red floral shorts with white undertop and denim jacket and platform heels.. Curled the ends of my hair , winged liner and kohl in the eyes with nude shade lipstick and i was good to go.
(well this link is for bhavika1983...since she is not able to view the dress of nandini)
Doorbell rang and i ran to open it.
"oh my god!! My wife is looking like a 16 year old!! I need to hide my age too!!" he spoke in excitement as soon as he saw me. I giggled.
"sure you should" i teased him.
"yeah yeah, ok, by the way you are looking, hottt...like really hottt, you know what i mean" he spoke while slowly bending down to kiss me. I stopped him in his tracks "first go, get ready, na...we have all the time in the world to kiss"
His eyes twinkled "really, means i can kiss you through out the night?? Really??"
I pushed him "only if you get ready in 10 mins"
"10 mins?? Seriously? I have to take a shower...give me at least 30 mins jaan"
Jaan...it worked again. He surely knows, how to turn me around. "ok, but go fast, NOW"
"ok, get my clothes, plzz"
I nodded and went in the closet. When i came out, he was already in the shower. I arranged his stuff which he had thrown on the floor. And got my hand bag ready with mobile, lipstick and other stuff and sat down to wait for him.
"nandini, pass my clothes, please" he spoke , moving his hands out of the door. I grabbed his clothes and passed on to him. He took it and came out of the washroom after a few minutes with water dripping from his hair. He was looking so handsome, that i gawked at him and he smirked
"looking like a 16 year old, ain't i?"
{parth samthaan's look when he had visited jaipuria college in Kolkata, i didn't get hold of a picture, so just letting you know, if you want to see his look here}
Yes he was definitely looking like a college student..I had chosen a slimfit jeans with a slimfit chequered shirt and the strap of his red boxers was clearly visible on his waist above the jeans. My comment was "you are looking sexy, manik"
"acha, ?? having hard time resisting me jaan??"
I blushed and looked away shaking my head fiercely in a no. He chuckled.
"see, i m ready in exactly 30 mins, i want my kiss now"
I kissed him on his cheek "ho gya ab chalo" i started to walk away. He held my arms and pulled me "oho, trying to act smart , haan"
"arey you don't know , i m already smart"
"oh really, then do you want me to shut your smartness, you want to know howww?"
"manik"
"haan...?"
"we will be late.."
"you think , i care.??."
Our lips brushed, yet i managed to say "manik..."
And his response was a fierce , hungry kiss. He sucked my lips like he would gobble me up too. It had been 12 hours , since we had kissed today and his fierceness, was the result of the wait. I responded equally, his thin lips were like a candy for me, i liked to suck them lazily but with force. This always made him moan in pleasure. While i did this , he kneaded my bosom , exciting me . we had known, soft spot of each other by now, and we targeted them, to derive more pleasure. I ran out of breath and he slowly but unwillingly left me. I hugged him tight and he held me securely in his arms. I whispered on his chest "i love you" he kissed the top of my hair "you are my life, jaan"
...
He took out his sports bike.
I sat and hugged him tight from the back while he zoomed past the traffic. Of course his guards were following us, they always do. Soon we were on the highway and less traffic. Wind was blowing in my hair and i screamed in excitement "ooohooo". He slowed down and took off his helmet "enjoying, jaan????" he screamed. "yesss" i screamed back. Soon, i stood up from my seat, and stretched my hands, closing my eyes "manikkk, it feels so good, thank you for planning this sweetheart!!!" i spoke on the top of my voice.
...
We were on the marine drive. We haulted here on our way back home. It was quite late in the night, still there was hustle-bustle. People recognised manik, apart from 3-4 people asking for autograph, no one disturbed us, but just stood there watching us. I was sitting on the rocks , while manik had gone to bring bhelpuri. A lady in probably her 50's walked up to me " hey , is the hottie your boyfriend??" she looked too old to talk like that, nevertheless, i assume she had been observing us from quite a while when we were running and enjoying. But before i could reply, she continued "you two make an awesome couple, i will suggest marry him" i smiled, may be she is not much of the informed types like most of the people here, otherwise, she should have recognised manik, and the fact that he is already married.
Manik came back , right at that moment, calling out "hey wifey, here's your bhelpuri" i looked at the lady, she had a broad smile on her face. I took out my mangalsutra from under the top and showed it to her while speaking "he is my husband , aunty" and i smiled while manik held me by my waist, clearly not understanding, what was happening.
"wow, thats great, i wish you all the happiness in the world"
"thank you" manik and i spoke at the same time. The lady smiled and left us alone.
"what was she saying?" manik asked
"well you are looking so young and hot that she thought you are my boyfriend" i spoke mischievously.
"oh like that...then it goes vice-versa"
"hmmm"
"so how about , we eat this bhelpuri and head home?"
"yeah, its too late, i m tired too"
...
MONDAY MORNING...
I knocked on washroom's door "manik, you know na, i take shower first, then why are you in, first today??"
He replied from inside "nandini, i have an important presentation today, i have to leave early"
"oh , ok, ok...sorry"
I came out and asked peter to bring curd and went in to take out his office wear and other necessary stuff.
After he was ready, i fed him curd "manik, sorry i won't be there at breakfast and to see you off, but please eat properly and take care of yourself ok?"
He smiled "of course i will, for you, now bye, i will see you in the evening...and yeah take care of yourself too" he spoke while walking away.
"manik are you not forgetting something??" i reminded him. It took him good 5 seconds to figure out what i was hinting at. He hastely came back to me "i m sorry' and placed a long warm kiss on my forehead. I smiled and he left in a hurry. This project is really important for him, his nervousness said it all.
...
In the evening , i came back early, changed into a georgette saree and matching accessories.
Then i joined maa and mukti, in their living room. Door bell rang and maa got up to open with a smile. But our smiles faded when we saw papa, in a different mood. I had not seen him like that ever in these 30 days. He managed to force a smile at everyone of us and walked directly to his study ordering "send manik in, when he is home" my heart hammered . i got a feeling that something big has happened. Has the company not got the project, which manik was working on, or has manik committed some blunder. I crossed my fingers.
Maa and mukti looked equally tensed, but they said nothing. After a few minutes, the door bell rang again. This time i got up, trying to plaster a smile and welcome him warmly. But my face went pale when i looked at manik. He had a frenzied look on his face. No smiles, no, whispers, no side hug. My heart sank. I just managed to choke out "papa has called you in the study" he looked at me with no expressions and then at maa and mukti and went towards the study.
Maa pulled me with her, speaking on the way "come, we need to find for ourselves what has happened, this father-son duo, will never tell us, otherwise" we reached the door as manik got in and shut the door behind him. We did not have to make efforts to listen as papa was speaking fairly loud, that it was audible to us
"how can you be so careless?? Stats and figures?? Stats were wrong...i mean the most imp detail in a presentation was wrong?? Do you know how much loss this can incur us...???"
"listen manik , i know business is not your forte, but only on your insistence, i have included you here, you wanted to handle both the things...but if this is how you are going to do, then people will blame me that just because you are my son, you are in such a high post in the company...i have always tried to bring you up like a normal child, away from all the pomp and show, i don't want to see you failing me..my belief"
"you have to make a mark on the company and prove me right in choosing you as my heir...can you do that??"
I want this project anyhow, m i clear???"
...
Well it was a monologue, as we were not able to hear manik's responses. But i observed that papa's tone mellowed down and softened at the end. I was of the view that everything is going to be fine now. But i was proved wrong by manik's behaviour. He came out of the room like a storm, and headed directly to his floor without even passing a glance to me. I was confused, what did i do??
Maa spoke "nandini, just be calm and patient around him, plzzz" i nodded and followed him. I entered our room expecting him to be there, but he was not. I came out and asked joseph "joseph, have you seen manik?"
"yes ma'm , sir is in the gym"
"thank you"
Gym?? Now??? Is he going to work out in the night?? With these thoughts i walked in the gym, only to find manik, punching the bag like a mad person, it seems , he was taking out all his frustration and anger on the lifeless, innocent punching bag. Seeing him like that, i was scared. I did not know what to do? Why is he so angry?? Is he angry on papa?? But why?? He was just trying to show him the right path...what should i do?...what should i do...? i kept on chanting. Finally after gathering some courage, i spoke "manik"
No reaction, punching continues.
" manik" this time a little louder.
Ok, he stopped punching the bag and turned around. His veins were popping out and his eyes looked anguished but fierce " nandini, please leave me alone for sometime"
"but...dinner??"
"have your dinner and sleep, don't worry about me, i have always managed my anger alone. Plz"
And he turned back to continue what he had stopped,while i stood there. Slowly with heavy steps , i walked back to my room and sat there, waiting for him. I started feeling hungry, but i doused the fire in my stomach with glasses of water. I kept waiting but he didn't turn up. I don't know when i fell asleep. I opened my eyes only when i felt a heavy arm on me, and a back hug. Yes manik came and slept back hugging me with his face buried in the back of my neck.
I moved a little .
"did i wake you up?" he spoke softly.
i turned around to face him. "how are you?" i spoke sadly
he held my hand while we were lying face to face, so close that his warm breath fanned my face.
"sorry" he spoke apologetically "i know i was rude, but that , that's me, i can't help it"
"but why were you so angry?"
"nandini, it was my blunder, and the company and dad had to suffer because of me, i never, never like that to see dad helpless in front of the clients, it pained me to see his head bowed down and lips apologising...its just.."
He couldn't speak further, i hugged him tight "manik, i know, you will make it all ok..so relax and its time you make papa proud, like you always do..."
I kissed his shoulder to distract him from guilt conscience. He pulled back and smiled.
"did you have your dinner?" i asked
"how can i? When you didn't..." he replied
"how do you know?"
"i asked peter"
"oh"
"i know its late, but come lets have dinner, i m hungry" he spoke
"me too" i replied pouting.
...
Next 10 days were like a test for me. Manik was hell busy in his project. He would bring loads of files from office and spend hours in the study to make the presentation. Last time , someone else had made the presentation and manik had just given a cursory glance to it , and the result was the fiasco . of course the person concerned had to lose his pending bonus and increment. But this time manik had taken charge of the situation and was determined to gain , what he had lost---his credibility. Seeing him so stressed, papa advised him to take it a little lightly, but he paid no heed. In these 10 days, every single night, i had to spoon feed him dinner, standing in the study. He would hurry to office in the morning. Even the Friday, Saturday, Sunday were less lively. Fab 4 had come for the party but manik was sleeping deeply and we did not disturb him.
The only thing that got me going through this phase was the time , every night, when i would be asleep and manik would come back from the study and slept hugging me from back. Only in that moment, i felt that whatever , he is doing, he is doing for his family, for me. And i should be his support system. My mind kept chanting THIS IS A PASSING PHASE NANDINI, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM WILL ONLY COME OUT STRONGER THROUGH THIS.
i know last update was too long and boring , but i hope i get a good response on this one...😊
