Thanks to each one of you for appreciating the One Shot I had previously posted. It does mean a lot to me, especially when I join writing after such a long time.

MaNan One Shot: Taken Tonight

Anyways, I am here again to share a story. This time a tested one. Because this one is one of the most special works of mine, very close to my heart. Maybe the journey made it more special. Whatever it is, I am here to share this one story with you all. And I hope you people enjoy this as much as I would do while re-living these moments to post this one.

I won't make much of changes to the story but a little blend to make it fit for MaNan. Yet somethings would remain the same.

Tough Summers: A MaNan Story

Chapter One

Her anklet tinkled as she ran behind him across the terrace. From one roof top to the other. She was running behind her notorious brother, Nimish, as always. But the voice spread all over, sending chills along the length of his spine. She was yelling, but even that seemed to be melodious to him. And surprisingly, he spent most of his day gawking at her.

Yes! That's what the Manik Malhotra, the newly arrived man did, all day. Ever since he had come to the Ranoli, small town of Vadodara, Gujarat, his eyes were settled at the feminine figure he had encountered the very day of his arrival to his grandparents place. She was there for her summer vacation as well.

Her jumping off from the small boundaries of the roof-top, just to separate the area, drew his attention. Her brother ran into his direction, screaming, "Manik bhaiyya.." And he had his eyes widened at that. With a sudden roll, he slid behind Manik. "Please! Please save me from this monster."

Monster? Lucky chap, he gets chased by this beauty, but still addresses her as monster'. I would really want to meet monsters, if they were this gorgeous, He thought.

"bhaiyya.." He squealed in order to get a response from Manik.

"Don't call me that." Manik warned the little kid. "It's annoying." And before he could utter a word more he ran away as Kria approached him. "You are of no help bhaiyya.." He screamed as he climbed the walls of his terrace. Manik shook his head disbelievingly.

Few things can never change, He thought.

And the very next second he witnessed heaven. She dashed into him, with her hands gripped onto his shirt. While his hands instantly wrapped around her waist, protectively. Her thick, long eye lashes separated, as her almond shaped, chocolate brown eyes settled at his. Her eyes were so captivating.

He briefly studied her gorgeous face. When she pulled back, murmuring a sorry. And with that she left running behind her brother. That had to be the cutest apology he had ever received.

While she chased Nimish, Manik had his eyes fixed at her, until she disappeared into the narrow lanes. He could still feel the softness of her skin under his touch. Those big beautiful yet different eyes. This summer's it was going to be different, Indeed a tough summer to spend, At least for him!

Next Chapter

Thoughts :) Criticism welcomed, as well. Feel free to criticize.

I would update, most probably, daily. But the length more or less remains the same. Thanks!

Regards,

Shenz.

Chapter Two

He pulled the blanket over his face as the sun brightly peeped through the clouds. He was greedy for sleep. After all he couldn't sleep for the entire night. The mosquitoes were having a feast on him. But nothing seemed to be in his favour. The sun-rays brightened adding on to his furry.

"Fine! I won't sleep." He threw the blanket and sat up straight. Stretching his arms, he looked around. And his eyes found the most serene view. His irritation flew away the moment he saw her.

She flexed a little. Bending forward in his direction, bit by bit. While her breathing was even and controlled, he breathed unevenly due to the view. She completed her routine, parting her lashes she saw found his unexpectant eyes at her.

She was performing her routine, her morning yoga. While he kept staring her amazed. The way her body flexed and arched seemed to be so effortless.

She wrapped the scarf around her waist as he still didn't bother to take his eyes off her. Her eyes widened at him. No response. Shooting a glare was of no use, again.

As she lost the last strand of patience left, she yelled, "Done!" That made him move his eyes off her, embarrassingly. Hitting the back of his head, he ruffled his hairs. His lips pressed tightly while his eyes were apologetic.

"Good morning." She greeted with her lips curved into a generous smile. And she left with a gentle nod. Her eyes rested upon him while she walked down the stairs.

His morning had never been this beautiful.

_________________________________________________________________

Laughter!

Her laughter filled the place. It echoed everywhere. He was elated hearing her hearty laugh. He looked around but she wasn't anywhere. He followed the melodious laugh, only to end up at the roof top that hid her.

There she was surrounded by a bunch of girls of her age. They all laughed, along with her. But her's was the most different to him.

By far, he had only heard her yelling and scolding Nimish. But today, here she made his heart tumble with a never experienced joy. Just by the musical laughter.

He had till date touched her with his burning eyes. And recently, he had felt the softness of her skin. He still could feel her under his touch. But her laughter has unknowingly touched his soul.

She slowly lifted her lashes, only to have met his drowsy ones. And soon took away, being unnoticed.

Next Chapter

Thoughts :)

For the sake of convenience, mine as well as yours, can the readers - the ones who are interested to read this story Buddy Me. That would just make my job a bit easier.

So for further updates, buddy me.

And unlike all times, I don't PM every single ID on my Buddy list until it's not a new story, but only the ones who have read and commented on the latest chapter.

That's all for the day!
