Safe in his Arms!
She walked into her bedroom, slowly picking all the cushions that lied on the floor. Tidying her messy bed as she grunted in between her self talks. 'Ohh this man, Aiyaapa help me' she muttered.
To her surprise and shock, her darling live in bf heard her taunt.
'What's wrong' he questioned innocently smirking.
'Ohh nothing I'm mad you see, I like to keep our, no I should say my surroundings clean' she said sarcastically.
'Ohh ya those people are called a maniac' he replied jokingly.
'Ya you're right I'm a cleanliness freak' she sighed and continued 'Sorry Sir I didn't mean to clean the room' she taunted sarcastically as she messed the room up once from her side.
'Ohh shut up Nandini, I was just joking you know it na' Manik questioned in the end.
'No, I know you were serious I know' Nandini replies with streams of river flowing down her sparkly eyes.
'Aarey I am sorry I was just having fun' explained Manik as he walked towards her. But Nandini backed off throwing few cushions at him. Soon thumping on the bed with hands covering her face.
She sobbed and Manik apologized but she didn't listen to him she muttered in between her sobs 'YOU HAVE BEEN TAUNTING EVER SINCE WE GOT ON THE NEXT LEVEL OF OUR RELATIONSHIP'
'I mean can't you see I'm hurt every time you say something like this' questioned Nandini as she intently stared at Manik.
'Look I know you want everything perfect and I have been trying to do that alright' he sighed as he continued 'It was just a joke' Manik softly completed as he tried wiping her tears off. Nandini got up and stormed off.
While Manik stared at her retreating back.
--------------
An hr later while they were at work
'I'm sorry Nandini' Manik apologized while Nandini lightly said 'hmmm'
'What hmmm, please talk to me mazak tha' Manik almost completed his sentence and Nandini snapped at him pointing the pen at him .
Manik walked backwards while Nandini spoke 'You, seriously don't care do you?'
Manik looked completely clueless, 'I'm sorry dear, isse jyada mai kya karu tumhe mana ne ke liye batao na please'
Nandini turned around ignoring his question and walked off.
'Ufff ye ladki' thought Manik as he left from that place to meet someone with Cabir by his side.
All his ride, all day long Manik Monster Malhotra kept on thinking how he could he manofy his dear girlfriend. He was out off ideas, when something struck his brain. Manik called up Cabir, requested him to accompany Nandini home today but he should be alert as he had to get home late very late.
--------------
Few hours down the sunset, Nandini reached home firstly she was annoyed by Manik's behaviour since morning secondly he didn't drive her home pissed her off more.
Nandini unlocked her main door, it was dark in the room 'Manikkk' she called out but heard no-one. Before she could turn the lights on she noticed candles light all around the room, it was romantic. She relaxed, but her mind said 'Nandu your losing focus dear, Aiyaappa please help me'
A slight smile crept up her lips but soon she hide it with fake anger, she walked towards her small round table where few candles were lit and two plates of Noodles were kept decorated impressively.
Nandini looked everywhere but found no-one, she soon went into her bedroom where everything was similar except no food. Her heart wasn't disappointed, but it was definitely excited though her face was inexpressive.
Nandini walked into her washroom, got changed and went into the kitchen to find something to eat for dinner. She ignored the food on the table. She was preparing bread and jam, as she wanted to eat something sweet, but as she turned around towards her round table she found a man sitting on one seat grinning at her.
Nandini freaked out for a second as she had forgotten to turn the lights on, she thought she was alone but however that wasn't the case she was accompanied by her dear bf.
Who's smile turned into a grin seeing her freak out badly. Nandini ignored and walked pass him with her delicious bread on a plate. She was almost past him, but she couldn't move any further. Nandini pulled, and pulled but she couldn't walk further that's when he felt a hard grip on her wrist.
Manik quickly pulled Nandini closer to him, but she lost balance with the plate it fell on the ground with Nandini unbalancing herself crashing onto Manik's chest. Her hand held Manik's shirt tight, with her eyes were closed. Her eye lids were stretched, and pressed on her eyeballs so tight that Manik could sense she was scared.
'Shssshhh...he hushed politely...Its okay I'm here.. Safe in my arms'
Nandini slowly released her eye lids, and slowly opened it. She soon was lost into his eyes.
The thunderbolt struck so loud that Nandini's eye contact was interrupted Nandini clenched his shirt tighter hugging him. But soon reality hit her, that she was angry with Manik. Nandini got up and started walking again, but then Manik stopped her 'Itni bhi kya narazgi ki tum mere saath ek candle light dinner nahi karogi'
Nandini's cheeks immediately turned crimson red, she turned around looking at him lovingly.
'Subhe se bechare ko kitna tang kiya hai, Now jyada karungi toh kahi sach mai baat bigaad na jaye' thought Nandini.
She turned around, expressionless to begin with, Manik pulled out the chair letting Nandini sit comfortably on the chair. He pulled his chair closer to her and started feeding her with a fork. Nandini continued eating from her plate instead. 'Itni bhi kya narazgi dear' Manik complained with emotional eyes.
She could hear it in his voice, soon she turned her head towards Manik grabbing his wrist she took it to her mouth and munched on a little of the Manchurian while she twisted his hand for himself to eat from the same spoon.
Shortly they were done feeding each other silently.
They stayed with their elbows on the table and their palms under their chins resting them. They were drowned in each other's eyes... But soon Manik lost it with his elbows slipping due to wetness while Nandini's palms were sweaty...
As Manik had lost the game, Nandini let out a sweet smile, as she blinked her eye lids. Manik smiled back at her as he picked her up, she was still lost in his drowning eyes.
"Safe in his arms" she thought as she buried her head onto his chest.
