Avoid mistakes if any, no proof reading.

Manik and Nandini kept looking at each other after Nandini said those words. After a short look look session, Manik asked a question in return of a question.

Ma-tumhara husband bhi toh hoga.........kya tum job continue karogi tabhi?

Nandini shrugged casually and said in a jolly tone.

Nan-mei toh job nhi chodungi until you fire me  rahi baat husband ki toh........you can be rest for sure kyuki mei shadi hi nhi krnewali ho....... so there won't be any problem from my side.

Nandini said that and on hearing her, Manik who was all calm till now had frowns and he asked being a bit surprised.

Ma-tum shadi nhi karogi.......kyu?

Nan-aise hi.........meine toh bachpan se hi decide kr liya tha k mei shadi nhi karungi........ Isliye meine apna future accordingly plan kiya hai.........I am well settled perfectly.

Ma-don't you need a partner?

Nan-no........since I have trained myself to be alone........partners and stuff don't affect me.

Ma-aur agar kisi ko tumse pyaar hogaya toh?

Nandini giggled a little and said.

Nan-mujse kaun pyaar karega........I don't have friends or any social life........job hai.......jahan 24 hours mei se 12 hours se zayda aap k sath ho.........time kaha hai kisi aur k sath time spend krne k liye.

Manik didn't like her this opinion. He was grumpy and Nandini was not knowing that. They reached home and Nandini said good night to both Manik and the driver. She opened the door and turned back and said looking at Manik.

Nan-aap bahut aache hai sir........I am glad that I am your employee.

This bought smile on Manik's lips and seeing his smile Nandini too smiled. She got down mumbling a good night once again. Manik saw her entering in and once she was out of their sight, he asked his driver to move.

The grumpiness he felt was now gone and a smile rested on his face. On reaching home, Manik felt tired. Since the dinner was done, he quickly got changed and jumped on bed. While Nandini was packing her bags.

Next morning, Manik left for his workout while Nandini was packing her things. She reached Manik's building just when it was time for Manik to return back home. Manik was ahead of her and Nandini was not aware of it. She saw a person entering the lift and it was about to close that's why she ran and shouted.

Nan-lift.......lift.

Manik heard that and halted the lift for the arriving person. Nandini entered in and was huffing while Manik frowned seeing her. He spoke as he saw Nandini huffing a little.

Ma-Nandini you are late today?

Hearing her name and that voice, Nandini looked up to find Manik was the one who stopped the lift. She looked at him for a brief moment and then said.

Nan-good morning sir.

Manik gave a positive nod and waited for her answer, seeing his expressions Nandini spoke,

Nan-aaj aap k breakfast mei oatmeal and juice tha Isliye mei late nikli ghar se........I was packing my things so that I can shift as soon as possible.

Again Manik gave a positive nod and he was happy. It was a good start of the day, they reached the top floor and came out. Nandini opened the door as his key was in her hand. Manik waited for her to open the door.

Now that Nandini was opening the door, it was obvious that she entered in first. Opening the door and entering in, she moved aside still holding the door so that Manik could enter. Once he was in, Nandini bow her head a little and said.

Nan-aapka aap k ghar mei swagat hai sir.

And then she laughed, Manik too giggled seeing her silly gesture. They headed in, this time Nandini was behind Manik as she closed the door. On reaching at the living room Nandini spoke.

Nan-aap fresh hojaye sir.......tab tak aap ka  breakfast ready hojayega.

Manik bobbed his head and both made way to their respective places. Nandini started preparing for the breakfast and Manik got ready for office. They ate together and left for office as usually like the previous 2 days.

On reaching office, Nandini reported to Manik and they started working. Nandini was busy typing when unintentionally her gaze fell on Manik and then moved it within 2 seconds but then her gaze shifted back on Manik and got stuck.

His serious office look, his stressed face while typing on his laptop, his concentration, his office state, his dedication and his physique. Everything attracted to her and she kept adoring him until Manik moved his gaze for a min and moved away but then he realised that she was seeing him.

He looked back at her to confirm it and once he saw her, Nandini shifted her gaze and concentrated on her work. Like usually they had their lunch and then post office hours, Fab5 work. The whole day Nandini noticed all the minute things of Manik and the more she saw the more she was getting attracted towards him, which she was unaware off.

Since Nandini don't have too much of materials in her house, due to obvious reasons, it was very easy for her to pack up her things and shift. Just in a day she was done with packing. On the 4th day of office, Manan were having their lunch when Nandini spoke.

Nan-sir......aaj shaam ko aap ka jam session hai till 10.30 and then you will go home.

Manik bobbed his head in acknowledgment to which Nandini further said.

Nan-toh sir kya mei 8' o clock ko jaa skti ho ghar........actually I am ready to shift isliye mei soch rhi thi k aaj hi shift hojao.......raat ko then slowly slowly I will settle down at the new place.

Ma-okay........we will leave the office together.

Nan-okay sir, thank you.

At 8.00 pm, as decided Manan left the office. Manik told Nandini while they were heading to the exit.

Ma- sit with me in the car........the driver will help you.

Nan-okay.

Then sat and as driver knew that they have to head to fab5's office, he started driving. When they were reaching near to it, Manik gave instructions to the driver.

Ma-Tiwari........tum Nandini k sath jao.......usse shifting mei help karo........and drop her safely at the new place and then come to pick me.

T-ji sir.

Manik got down and Nandini wished him good night. Manik entered in and then the car left. As per Manik's instructions, the driver helped Nandini in bringing her belongings down, loaded in the car and drove to the new address.

Mr. Ganesh Tiwari, a 40 year old man, serving to Malhotra's since 14 years. He is a kind and humble man, respects the Malhotra's. He takes care of Manik as much as he can which is not noticed easily but he does care abt him. Anyways, now that they were heading towards the new house, he spoke to Nandini.

T-itna kum saman hai tumhara?

Nan-haan.........muje iss ghar mei shift hove 26 days hi hove the........iss pehle mei Kumar's k yahan thi........toh unke sath hi rehti thi........ yeh ghar rent pe tha.........par phir dadaji k baad mei yahan aagai.........fir job aur sab........ toh time hi nhi mila.........ghar set krne ka......... ab new flat mei jaa rhi ho........dekhte hai wahan kaisa kya hai.

Tiwari ji bobbed his head while Nandini asked.

Nan-aap kab se hai yahan?

T-Manik sir k sath toh 5 saal hova....... par Malhotra's ka yahan 14 saal se kaam kr rha ho.

Nan-itna saara time.........bahut aachi baat hai.

T-haan........naukri bhi toh aachi hai na........ Manik sir bahut aache hai........sab ki malad krte hai........unse help mangne wala kabhi khali hath nhi jata.........toh jo gir k sath aacha vayvar kare........toh woh apne employee's k sath bura kaise kar skte hai.

Nan-haan apne sach kaha.

Driver uncle bobbed his head and soon they reached the new address. With the help of watchman, they quickly bought all the things upstairs. Once they were done, Nandini asked.

Nan-aap pani peeyenge?

Driver uncle was thirsty and picking up such heavy bags would obviously make anybody thirsty but he was aware abt Nandini's state too so water was a bit difficult thing and seeing his expressions, Nandini immediately removed a bottle of water from her bag. Giving him she said.

Nan-ghar se nikalte waqt meine fill kiya tha so aap bindass pee sakte hai.

Driver uncle smiled and had water but from above, not touching his lips. Once he was done, he left, Nandini thanked him and closed the door properly and then looked around the house.

Living room + open kitchen and dining table.

The living room is quiet big.

The way to the room.

Room and restroom.

Seeing the house she was stunned. While driver uncle reached and picked up Manik and dropped him home. Reaching at home, Manik got changed, heated some food from the fridge and soon came to bed. Next day at office, Nandini spoke once she told Manik abt his schedule.

Nandini's dress.

Nan-sir.........woh ghar kitna bada hai.......apne woh ghar kyu liya?

Ma-did you like it?

Nan-yes but why do you have to pay so much of rent.......I could have managed.

Ma-it's okay Nandini.

The argument was going nowhere that's why they chucked the topic and continued working. Today Manik was lost in admiring Nandini and Nandini was not aware of it. His adoring session was disturbed by a knock.

The employee entered on Manik's permission. Nandini was busy in her work but she could hear Manik and the employee talking. They were discussing on some project and then Nandini heard Manik saying to the employee.

Ma-contact the Sahani's........we are interested in dealing with them........their project plan is nice.

E-okay sir.

Saying that he left from there. Once he was gone, Nandini came to Manik and said in her sweet tone.

Nan-sir!

Manik looked at her and gestured her to continue to which Nandini said.

Nan-aap Sahani's k sath deal krna chahte hai?

Manik bobbed his head and Nandini further spoke with frowns appearing on her face.

Nan-yeh wohi Sahani's hai......jo kuch samay pehle news mei the?

Ma-yes the same one.

Nan-so you don't know abt them?

Ma-mtlb?

Nan-yeh company kafi time se loss mei chal rhi hai sir.........and nobody is interested in investing in them kyuki inki quality kafi cheap hai........they cheat in their quality and price and recently sources se pata chala hai k loss fulfil krne k liye they have joined their hands with mafia world.........aap plz pehle details nikalye and then think of investing in it.

Manik bobbed his head. He had full faith on Nandini and that's why her words were effective on him. He at first call the employee who was ordered to contact Sahani's, he told him to not do anything related to the matter until his next order.

Then he dialled his appointed detective and asked him to find out abt Sahani's. Once this was done, they had to wait for the information and that is why both of them resumed their work.

After 1/2 an hour, Manik got the call from detective and he told the same thing that Nandini said, just the mafia news was confirmed on which Nandini had a doubt. After getting the information, Manik called his employee and told him to forget Sahani's and never deal with them in any matter.

While all this was happening Nandini was not in the room, she had gone to get some xerox from the in-house machine. She came back after an hour, as the xerox copies were many. Completing that work, she looked at the time and saw it's lunch time.

She quickly headed to the canteen with the tiffin and came back with hot pipping food in a tray. She called Manik too who came back after washing his hands. Both sat to eat their lunch.
