Manik: *entering the kitchen* Hogaya?

Nandini: Hmm ye sab table pe le jao mai washroom hoke ati hu..

Manik: *nodding* Ok!

Manik set up the table and sat on the chair serving their brunch when Nandini walks in. She looked at one plate and nodded in disbelief.

(Dining room! Just in case you don't remember)

Nandini: *sitting on his lap and feeding him* Maan why have we bought such a big table if most of the time I have to sit on your lap and eat from the same plate?

Manik: *feeding her* Duh! For our kids!

Nandini: *mouth wide open* Maan this is a 10 seater table? Do you want 9 kids?

Manik: *hiding his smile* Ofcourse, kyu kam hai kya?

Nandini: *smirking* Obviously, I want 11 you know cricket team but you only got 10 seater now baki do ko kaha bithaungi mai?

Now it was Manik's turn to be shocked while Nandini giggled.

Manik: Acha.. meri billi mujhi se miau...

He started tickling her while she moved uncontrollably and laughed. Finally, he stopped after her numerous pleads and she gulped down some water. She moved slightly and felt something making her turn to him with wide eyes..

Nandini: Maan you have..

Manik: I know, if you grind so much against it what do you expect?

Nandini: *blushing* Mai plates rakh ke ati hu

Manik smirked looking at her blush and nodded letting her get up. He too followed her, cleaned his hands and helped her clear the table. He sat in the living room turning on the TV and waiting for her while she completed cleaning the kitchen. Soon she came and sat down next to him resting her head on his shoulder. Manik smiled and pecked her forehead and entwined their hand. They continued watching something random until Nandini broke the silence.

Nandini: Maan?

Manik: *looking at her* Hmm?

Nandini: When is your next flight?

Manik: *turning off the tv* On Tuesday morning.. but I will be back by the night so cheer up.

Nandini: *smiling* Maan I am happy.. it's not like I become unhappy when you go to your work. It's your passion Manik and I am the happiest that you get to follow it because not everyone gets to do that. But at the same time, being your wife and before that being your lover, I also have the right to be worried for you right?

Manik: But sweetheart kab tak? Till when will you be so worried? You need to trust my flying skills na.. kuch nahi hoga mujhe and you are very strong baby so agar kuch ho bhi gaya...

She covered his mouth stopping him.

Nandini: *teary eyes* Maan please! How many times do I have to remind you not to say stuff like that? I do not even want to imagine it in my wildest nightmare! And I do trust your skills, that is why I can maintain my sanity, but that's my limit.. I cannot stop myself from getting worried no matter how hard I try.

Manik sighed and pulled her in his embrace. He decided to change the topic as this topic makes her very emotional every time.

Manik: Acha listen..

Nandini: *snuggling in him* Hmm?

Manik: *smirking* Do you miss me at night?

Nandini looked up and saw that slight smirk on his face. She understood what that meant but she too was no less. She feigned innocence trying harder to control that red hue from being visible.

Nandini: Ha.. I miss sleeping in your arms so much... you know hugging you tight.

Manik: *frowning* And?

Nandini: And what? And haan your sweet whispers and forehead kisses.

Manik: Aur?

Nandini bit her lower lip stopping herself from smiling seeing his cute sa frowning face.

Nandini: Aur kya Maan? Aur kuch nahi..

Manik: *disappointed face* Seriously?

Nandini: Hmm...

He made a sad face and looked to the other side. Nandini decided to stop teasing the poor guy and say what he wants to hear. She leaned near his ear and spoke.

Nandini: And.. *she bit his earlobe*

Manik: *breathing heavily* And?

Nandini: I miss your touches all over my body, the love I see in your eyes every night you claim me yours, I miss writhing in pleasure under you every night you make love to me, I miss touching you at places where your fangirls can only dream of touching and most importantly, I miss seeing your content face after we have sex knowing and feeling proud that I am the only girl who can give you that pleasure.

Manik: *pulling her hair* Fuck the control.. I can't wait until the night.

His rough lips cascaded down to hers in a second and before she could realise, they were kissing each other senselessly. He picked her up without breaking the kiss and took her to their bedroom. He broke the kiss and dropped her on the bed while pulling off his t-shirt while she blushed and sat up allowing him to pull her Kurti off. Soon their all clothes fell to the ground discarded mercilessly while they indulged in the cocoon of each other's love as waves of passion engulfed them.

They lay there in serenity watching the ceiling while her fingers doodled on his chest and his hands made circles on her waist making her giggle as she felt ticklish.

Maan: You are so cutely ticklish baby..

Nandini: *pouting* Maan stop na please..

Manik: *pecking her pout* I love you so much!

Nandini: *kissing his heart* I love you too! *after a while* Maan kuch puchna tha..

Manik: Kya hua? Sab theek hai?

Nandini: Relax sab thik hai it's just that I should have asked this a long time ago but I didn't and I kept feeling guilty about it..

Manik: Nandu get to the point baba..

Nandini: Woh we have not been using any birth controls for. months now.. it sort of happened that I expressed the wish to do so and you agreed but I never asked you if you were totally comfortable about it.

Manik: *sighing* You have nothing to feel guilty about this love. If I said yes then it was not because you wanted it, I mean partly because of that but the other half reason is that I too wanted it. This is a mutual decision we have taken here.. its been 2.5 years of our marriage, you are in a comfortable position in your career, I am in a comfortable position in my career, we are financially stable even if it comes down to you taking extended maternity leave if you want to and emotionally well I won't lie, I wasn't ready emotionally when you said but I knew this process will take time and I did want to have a baby with you at some point so I knew I will be ready. And that's why I said yes.. it wasn't an emotional agreement, I had practically thought of everything.

Nandini: You know this is what I love about you.. even if I ever think emotionally, you are there to think about it rationally stopping me from taking any silly decisions.

Manik: Did you just say that? I mean the Nandini who thinks I act impulsively is saying that I think rationally? Is your opinion changing about me wifey?

Nandini: *rolling her eyes* You are so dramatic. And no, I didn't change any opinion, you do think impulsively at times and rationally at other times. So we both have to step in the shoes and make each other understand. We complete each other unlike you and your ex Ridhima..

Manik: *frowning* Ridhi.. I mean Ridhima beech mai kaha se aayi?

Nandini: *glaring* First of all, dare you to call her Ridhi again, pura naam bola karo.. and secondly, beech mai nahi hamare niche ayi hai.. she has rented the flat below us. She came a day before yesterday.. god she is so annoying, how did you put up with her? She kept going on and on about you as if she knows you better than I.. I so wanted to say bitch please.. he is my husband and I know him better than you so stop being such a leech on him.

Manik laughed out loud. She looked at him annoyed and then realised that she said quite a lot out of jealousy and immediately felt embarrassed. Her ears started to turn pink the more he laughed. Thankfully, his phone rang saving her from the embarrassing conversation that would have followed. He kept the phone away after talking and Nandini raised her eyes.

Manik: It was Abhi! He is asking if we are up for hanging out tonight.. what say?

Nandini: Where?

Manik: Umm probably our usual club...

Nandini: Cool I am in.. actually Maan why don't we ask Vridhi and Arya to join too? Vridhi invited me yesterday evening for a movie but I was not in the mood.

Manik: Cool mai unhe bhi bula leta hu.. Abhi bata raha tha ek surprise hai mere liye..

Nandini: *excited* Really? Kya?

Manik: How do I know Nandu...

Nandini: Tuch tou boys na kuch excitement hi nahi hoti surprise ke liye.. *Manik shrugged* Acha maan ek karo..

Manik: Hukum madam!

Nandini: Don't call me that and mujhe na frappuccino chahiye.. mujhe Starbucks le chalo na..

Manik: You and tour Starbucks obsession.. chalo get ready.

Nandini: *pecking his cheek* Tum kitne ache ho.. love you!
