First month

"i am ready!" manik announced from the bedroom to nandini who was in the closet room.

"yeah give me 2 minutes!" she shouted back still looking at the various stilettos in front of her in various cuts and designs.

Manik walked in through the door to see what was taking so much time.

Manik

Nandini

Cabir had called and informed that the gang had left for the club and would be reaching there in no time. It was the impending celebration of the pregnancy news that was arranged by Dhruv at one of the best night clubs of the country.

He saw her looking at the heels.
"nandini, you are not going to wear these!" he asked in a are-you-serious-look.

"please na manik! aaj ke liye bas! See you told me to not wear heels to office toh maine suna na...abhi main bol rahi hun toh maan jao please" she said making a cute face.

"but nandini..." he tried to counter but she didn't let him "please" was what she said and he knew he had to give in.

"ok but this is the one last time!" he warned and she gave a bright smile

"ok!"
......

"arey mukti madam aap ! aiye andar aiye" welcomed kaka.

"ji wo amma-appa hain??" mukti asked a little shyly.

"ji ni madam...bade sahab aur madam bahar gye hain raat tak aenge"

"oh acha..aur..aur..koi ni hai ghar par??" she asked hesitantly.

"ji chote sahib hain apne room mein"

"ok thank you kaka!" mukti thanked him and walked towards abhimanyu's room with slow steps. This will be the first time that both of them will be alone at his house, in his room, after the declaration of their marriage.

She knocked on the door, not knowing what he might be doing.

"yes i am coming" she heard his voice from inside. She quickly arranged her hair and smoothed her dress.

And the door opened, revealing a topless abhimanyu with wet hair, water droplets trickling down his chest. Thankfully he was in his lowers.

Abhimanyu had taken a shower as he was getting ready to go to the club. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought some servant might be there, so he opened the door without covering himself.

They both looked at each other in shock. It wasn't like mukti had never seen a boy shirtless, in fact she had seen more than that, but here , right now, seeing abhimanyu like that, felt different. She somehow felt shy and her cheeks vouched for that which were getting redder by every passing second. She recovered herself and quickly turned around which broke his trance too. He turned around and grabbed the shirt kept on the bed and started buttoning it up, hastily.

"unhnn" mukti coughed lightly to know if he was done. He smiled and said "you can turn now"

"woh actually i came here so that we can go together." Mukti spoke watching him getting ready. He came towards her and stopped just in front of her and said "acha kiya".

"ok tum ready ho jao...main niche wait karti hu" she said and was about to turn around and go, but he stopped her , holding her forearms.

"kya hua?" she asked.

"tumne btaya ni did you like me shirtless?" there was a tinge of insecurity in his voice when he asked that. He was insecure because he knew she might have seen better sculpted body and may be just may be, he was not upto her expectations.

Mukti didn't notice this, so she felt shy on his question, "abhimanyu..." was what she could utter.

"haa...i am listening" he said huskily while still waiting hopefully for her reply.

"we are getting late" she whispered looking down shyly.

"mukti..look into my eyes" he spoke softly holding her arms. She looked up.

"i love you" he said looking back into her eyes, intently.

"i love you too, abhimanyu" she replied with warmth in her voice "and..."

"and...?" he repeated after her.

"and i loved the abs" she said huskily and tried to run after pushing him.

But he was quick to recover, and just as she opened the door, he pushed it shut from back. Now she was trapped between him and the door. He smiled naughtily at her "so you loved my abs?? So i deserve a reward right? After all itni mehnat lagti hai body banana mein!" he whispered and his breath blew over her lips.

"abhimanyu what is that behind the window??" she said making a scared face and as a reflex abhimanyu turned around to see, thus getting an opportunity she ran away from his captivity. She laughed at his flabbergasted expression.

She thought he will drop the idea but instead he ran towards her. So she spoke, running and dodging him " abhimanyu...dekho we are seriously getting late"

"give me what i want, i will stop the chase" he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, while trying to catch her. They were running after each other like tom and jerry.

"ok, ok...i give up" mukti raised her hand as she saw herself getting cornered and abhimanyu had a victorious smile.

"so now time for my reward" he spoke coming closer to her.

"yeah...ok...close your eyes" she said acting shy.

"tum start toh karo...my eyes will automatically shut itself"

"ni...i feel shy na...close your eyes na..." she urged acting cute.

"ok" he being innocent soul seeing no harm, obeyed her.

She smiled at his cute face, traced his facial features lovingly but her trance broke by his voice " mukti...jaldi karo...i am waiting...or if you want i can help you!"

"no no no..."

"ok"

She suppressed her smile and then pecked his lips lightly and ran away with the speed of lightening. He opened his eyes in disappointed but saw her laughing from behind the door and his face too lit up with a broad smile.

"get ready fast and come down" she said still chuckling, before closing the door.

"mukti" he called loudly, so she opened the door again and peeped in "kiss toh main lekar rahunga!" he said and she showed her tongue and shut the door after that. He started getting ready but the smile didn't leave his face.
......

The gang was inside the club, waiting for MaNan.

As soon as Dhruv saw them entering through the door, he gestured something to the others, and left from there. And the next moment , the music which was blaring till now, came to a halt. The people present in the club started hooting and shouting, even MaNan got confused that why did the music stop with their entry. Their queries were soon answered, as they heard the voice of the dj over the mike.

"hello mumbaikars! Tonight we have the fab 5 with us and they want to share their happiness with you guys...so they have announced that tonight the drinks are on them, so drink as much as you want and party hard!"

With that announcement, the environment turned crazy.

With that manik and nandini too reached their friends and greetings were exchanged.

"Dhruv itna sab kuch karne ki kya jarurt thi! You know this will spark rumours!"manik spoke worried.

"manik relax! We have not announced the reason for our happiness.so let the people keep guessing!" cabir defended Dhruv.
"but all of the bills on you, Dhruv, seriously!" manik gave him an are you insane look.

"tuney itni achi news di hai...itna toh banta hai boss!" Dhruv spoke pulling manik in a side hug. And manik smiled back.

"ho gya tumlogo ka??" mukti asked sarcastically.

"ha ha we are done! Ab tum log start ho jao...aww aloo baby you look so sexy...omg! your ear rings, they are damn beautiful..kaha se liya??" cabir spoke acting like a typical girl. While the guys laughed, the gals shot daggers at him through their eyes.

"ha ha jokes apart, but you are really looking beautiful nandini!"

Abhimanyu said taking nandini's palm in his. She smiled warmly at him "thank you bhai"

Meanwhile navya sniffed around mukti and rest of them looked at her confused.

"navya what are you doing?" cabir asked his wife.

"i think abhimanyu has not complimented his would be wife...that's why i am getting some burnt odour." Navya replied mischievously and mukti smacked her arms "shut up navya! Aisa kuch nahi hai "

Abhimanyu put up his courageous front when he said "yeah, navya you are right, somethings are pending"
Mukti blushed understanding his meaning, and this was noticed by others.

"waah dude! Manna parega tujh mein bahut himmat hai...matlab tu mukti k bhai k samne mukti se flirt kar raha h! What talent i must say!" cabir spoke in an exaggerated manner, earning chuckles from others.

"what maine kya bola! I just said that the compliment is pending!" abhimanyu was in defensive mode now.

Manik patted his back "relax, cabir is just joking!"
.....

"manik, sab dance kar rahe hain tum bhi jao..." nandini urged him while he was busy inhaling her scent taking her in a back hug.

"no.."

"but why? just because i can't dance , why are you restricting yourself?"

"nandini i m telling you again, if you have forgotten...we are in this together, ok...and moreover i am doing something better than wasting my time in dancing"

"acha here standing with me and keeping your face buried in the crook of my neck is better option?"

"of course, i just love doing this!"

She giggled as he tickled her with the tip of his nose "manik, stop it...we are not in our room!"

"i wish we would be in our room..you are looking so ravishing tonight, its so hard to control!" he spoke in a husky tone. She tried to move to face him but her feet hurt and an involuntary yelp escaped her lips "aah"

"kya hua? Are you hurt??" manik asked in panic.

She made a puppy face, as she knew it was her fault and now he would get upset with her after hearing her reason "woh...i wanted to tell you this..that my feet is hurting from quite sometime now!"

She waited with baited breath for him to erupt any moment in anger, but he didn't, instead he picked her up in his arms and signalled mukti that he was leaving. Mukti blinked her eyes in assurance.
.....

Nandini felt like she had blinked her eyes, and she was in her room, on her bed. Manik had been so fast. He carefully placed her on the bed and examined her feet which had swelled up. He searched through the net for remedies, because it was quite late and his parents must have slept. He decided he would speak to the doctor first thing in the morning, but right now 'google' was his only saviour. As soon as he got some info, he called up the servants and asked them to bring lukewarm water with a pinch of salt in it.

With in no time, nandini's feet were in the tub of lukewarm water.

All through this while, he had not spoken a word and nandini was also quiet. She did as he said. She waited for him to calm down.

It was when he bent down on the floor to massage her feet in the water in front of the servants that she had to speak up "manik!!!!! what are you doing!! Please"

"yes sir, main hu yaha par , ma'm k feet main massage kar deti hun...aap aram se baithiye" said one of the lady servant.

"samantha! Tumlogo ka kaam ho gya yaha par...tumlog ja sakte ho ab" he said in a strict tone, which meant no scope for further arguments and thus the servants left, closing the door behind them.

"manik get up...please...soak kiya h na maine feet...thori der mein theek ho jaega...don't worry"

He looked up at her "i am not listening to you anymore ok? Ek baar tumhri baat suni toh dekho tumhre feet ka kya hua!"

"but.."

"no ifs and buts. Sit quietly" he ordered and she made a grumpy face.

He massaged her feet for quite sometime, she really felt good and drowsiness started settling in her eyes.

Then he carefully took her feet out of the tub and wiped them with towel. She resisted this time to, but he was in no mood to listen. Then he put the tub aside and placed her legs on the bed as she half lay on the bed. He massaged her sole for some more time until she was on the brink of sleep.

"manik i am feeling sleepy, but i need to change" she spoke drowsily.

He smiled finally on her cuteness and got up and brought her night gown. She went to the washroom and quickly changed into the gown, freshened up and came out. Manik was not there, so she called out "manik where are you??"

"baby i am in here! Give me a moment" she heard his voice from the closet room. so she went inside and found him changing, he had just got rid of his cloths and was in just his briefs, looking for his night wear. Her cheeks started to turn red watching him like this, but she also had an urge to touch him, his bare torso, it had been quite a while of their intimacy and the desires started pooling up.
She walked ahead and hugged him from back, placing her cheeks on his back. Having her so close, set his desires on fire and he relished the feel of it.

"gussa ho mujhse?" she asked whispering against his back. Her breath felt ticklish to him.

He smiled and unwrapped himself from her hold and then turned around and cupped her cheeks "main tumse jyada der gussa reh kaha pata hun!" he said lovingly and she smiled.

She put her palm in the nape of his neck and whispered "manik" which clearly meant that she wanted him to bend low and he did that as this was exactly what he wanted. She placed her lips on his, kissing him hungrily and he kissed her back with double intensity.in seconds they were on bed, making love to each other.

Manik was being careful while thrusting inside her and nandini noticed this which made her smile through her tears. Finally after reaching their climax, he collected her exhausted figure in his arms and within seconds she was fast asleep.

He checked her feet one last time, the swollenness had gone which made him relax. He then pecked her tummy numerous times before finally slipping into deep slumber.
