20 Days Later!

"Come on please! You have to come!" I pleaded kneeling in front of her and held her hands.

Maan Jaoa Please..

"No Manik! Going to a night club was a different thing! But going to a party that too as your girlfriend? No Manik sorry!" She said ruthlessly and pulled her hands away..

"Baby! It's my birthday! I want to introduce you with my friends!" I pleaded again..

"Manik! Sab mazak urayeb gay tmhra! Everyone will make fun of yours!" Her voice was shattered..

"Shimmer!!! Please ya! Don't talk Rubbish! You it's not like this! How many times I had told you that you are the best!" I said holding her hands once again. "And my friends they all already know you! Everything will be fine ! Please count it as my birthday gift!" I pleaded again and she sighed helplessly..

"Fine!" She said lowly and I jumped with excitement..

Thank uuu!!! 

"Oh God! Thank you for agreeing baby!" I said taking her in a bone crushing hug..

I love you..

I tapped my feet restlessly on the floor and looked at my wrist watch. It was 7 already and the party time was of 7:30. It was my birthday. Rishab had gone for a trip with his friends. Actually me and Nandini had forced him to go he wasn't ready at all. His friends had called me to convince him well I was his brother after all so with loads of begging and pampering I sent him on the trip I must say he was a stubborn child. 

And today was my birthday. I don't know what gotten in Cabir and Navya's head they had arranged me a birthday bash. And they both had forced me to bring Nandini moreover they had taken a promise from me that I will propose Nandini tonight. Navya had sent a prom dress for Nandini and I myself was wearing a black tuxedo! Looking utterly handsome..

Hahaha! Am an ass! I know..

Well so I was waiting for Nandini to come and she was taking so much time. Finally I got up and was about to knock the door when the door opened itself..

"Shimmer!" I called her and she peeped out of the door. She was so nervous. "Hey come out! It's only me!" I assured her and she held her hand out for me to hold which I quickly did. I slowly dragged her out of the room and her head was ducked low. 

Trust me the moment I saw her whole beauty! I wanted to fall in her feet and never get up. She was a goddess. So much of beauty. The red prom dress was fitted on her body so perfectly. Her lips coated with red lipstick and the little tint of blush that appeared on her face under my piercing gaze was worth dying.

"Don't stare at me like this!" She whispered lowly and I snacked my arm under her waist pulling her in my chest..

Oh Nandini..! How much I want you...

"You are looking so beautiful Nandini! Itne beautiful kay I am scared!" I whispered huskily and she fisted my coat..

"Scared?" She asked breathing heavily..

"Scared of the evil eyes at party!" I whispered hoarsely and she chuckled lightly.

"Manik! No evil eye can harm me you know why?" She spoke lightly and I raised my eyebrow to ask why? "Because your eyes! They leave a protective shield around me! As long as I am with you I am the safest!" She had so much of trust in me and I was deceiving her! Seriously?

"Kuch bolo?" She said shaking me snapping me out of my thoughts..

"Ahh! Nothing let's go! We are already late!" I said softly and pecked her forehead. She replied the favor on my cheek and we walked out hand in hand.

"Hey guys! I want you all to meet my girlfriend! Nandini Murthy!" I exclaimed as all my mates gathered around us and I dragged a shy Nandini from behind my back. She was standing with her head low fidgeting with the pearl bracelet in her wrist. She was thinking that she don't suit with me. 

She was an idiot..

"Awww! Just look at her she is so cute!" Alya was the first to greet her and she hugged Nandini. Nandini was a little startled but she hugged her back.

"Seriously! You are a beauty Nandini!" Navya too hugged Nandini and now she had a little smile on her face.

"Thank you!" She replied softly and Cabir came forward.

"Ciao, mi chiamo Cabir! (Hi! My name is Cabir)!" He spoke in his husky Italian accent and pecked her knuckle which made her a little uncomfortable but she smiled back..

Huhh show off.

I gave him a glare and he winked at me.

"Hi! Am Nandini!" She said backing off a little and held my hand in confusion.

I will kill you Cabir. You made her uncomfortable mahn..!

"Well! I know you very well! Manik had told me about you!" Then we talked and I introduced all my mates and their girlfriends to Nandini they all greeted her so well and she was comfortable now. I cut the cake with her we were having a very good time when suddenly I saw Soha..! 

Argghh! What the hell is she doing in my party?

Before I could do anything she walked closer to us. Nandini was sitting on the stool near the bar counter and I was shamelessly flirting to her while she was laughing on my craziness, when Soha walked closer.

"Hey handsome!" She exclaimed loudly enough for Nandini to turn her head in her direction with wide eyes. "Happy birthday sweetie!" She again exclaimed and pecked my cheek with a loud popping sound. I immediately pushed her away while Nandini who was holding my hand dug her fingers in my palm.

"Soha! Meet Nandini! My girlfriend!" I said loudly and Soha huffed staring at Nandini who was smiling sweetly now. "You liking the party my love!" I said huskily dipping my face in her neck and she arched it giving me more access. We were on verge to jealous Soha. I kissed Nandini's neck and she moaned lowly while Soha left tapping her foot. As soon as she left we both burst out in laughter.

"You are too much Manik!" She exclaimed poking my chest and I laughed more.

"Only for you Bella Shimmer!" I said pecking her forehead when suddenly my phone buzzed it was an important call. "Baby sip your juice! I will be back ok?" I said softly caressing her cheek and she nodded like an obedient kid. 

______________

"Ok! We will do this ! Yeah sure! Ok ok! Yes we will come tomorrow! Sure! Bye!" I ended up the deal and hung up the phone. When suddenly two arms crept my waist and I smiled..

"Nandu! I was coming hun!" I said turning to her but she wasn't Nandini..

Sohaaa!

"What the hell! I told you to stay away from me!" I yelled and pushed her away. 

"Manik! Sweetie! What happened to you? What happened to your standard?" She asked trying to cup my cheek but I shoved her hand away.

"I am not answerable to you! You get that! Now stay away from me!" I said angrily and again tried to walk when she again held me.

"You know I love you Manik!" She faked few tears but I showed no mercy and walked more away. "Am gonna kill that blind bitch!" She shouted and that was it for me I turned only to slap her hard on her face. 

"Shut up and go f**k off! Dare not to speak a word against my love!" I shouted loudly and walked away. 

Oh God! Oh God I was shaking with anger. My nerves were racking. I walked in the garden and lit up my cigarette to calm myself. The clouds were very dark it felt that It was going to rain. 

Soha! I will surely kill you some day!!!

Suddenly I heard few voices and I look around just to saw Nandini running out of the house. 

What the f**k..

I run towards her and Cabir, Navya were also following her.

"What happened?" I yelled worriedly.

"Soha! She insulted Nandini very badly! You go after her we will deal with that bitch!" Navya shouted and I run behind Nandini cursing Soha under my breath.

Nandini was running blindly on the road wailing loudly.

"Baby stop!" I roared worriedly and suddenly she fell down. I reached and knelt in front of her. She was sobbing loudly. I raised my hand to clean her tears but she shoved my hand away.

"Go away! Don't show me this pity! Never in my life felt so filthy and useless!!!" She shouted pushing me away and I shook my head. 

"Shimmer!" I tried but..

"Stop it! Stop all this Manik!!!!!!! Mat aoa mery itny qareeb! You deserve someone better!" She shouted and slapped my chest..

Seriously I was dying..

"Shut up Nandini! Shut up!!!! You are best for me!" I shouted trying to cup her cheeks but she shook her head..

"Liarrr!!!!" She yelled shoving me away..

"No..! I am telling the truth!" I tried..

"Why??? Why am I best for you?" She shouted again this time gripping my tuxedo and suddenly rain started..

Ok! It's time..

"Because I love you!" I shouted and she gasped. Her grip on my coat loosened and she crawl a little away..

"Am not worth it!" She chocked..

"Who the hell are you to decide? You are worth it!!! You are my love!" I roared and stood up with her holding her shoulders. 

"Manik!" She sobbed and she crashed in my chest..

"Nandini tum jo meri nazar me ho na us pay proud karo!" I coaxed her and she wailed loudly...

"I love you too!" She whispered in my chest completing me! Completing us!!! "I want to be with you for my whole life!" She said loudly and I smiled.

"Am not letting you go!" I said lowly as water trickled down our body wetting us. I look at her and gulped the lump as the dress had stick to her body. I looked away to control myself and her hands crawled oon my back..

"Shall we go home?" She spoke and I simply nodded before picking her up.

____________

We reached her home and she herself opened the door to go out. I too quietly followed her and she reached her bedroom. 

"Ok I think I should go!" I said lowly. 

Uff! After confession why it was so awkward...

"No!" She turned to me. "I..! You! Don't go..!!!!" She said holding me again. 

Hey Humnava mujhe apna bana le

Sookhi padi dil ki iss zameen ko bhiga de

hmm.. hoon akela, zara haath badha de

Sookhi padi dil ki iss zameen ko bhiga de

"Then?" I also didn't wanted to leave her alone. She tip toed and reached my lips. While I gulped. I was so turned on that...

"Nandini don't! If you started this! I won't be able to stop!" I spoke backing off and she held my hand.

"I don't want you to stop!" She whispered shocking me to the core. 

"I can't..!" I stammered..

"Please! I want you Manik!" She pleaded..

"No no! I will hurt you!" I said backing off and turned but she hugged me from back clutching my front..

Kab se main dar dar phir raha

Musaafir dil ko panaah de

Tu awaargi ko meri aaj thehra de

Ho sake toh thoda pyaar jataa de

Sookhi padi iss dil ki zameen ko bhiga de

"Please! You only said na that am beautiful and you love me? Then? Prove it!" She said lowly and I freed myself forcefully. "You are a coward! You have always been!" She shouted as I started walking more.

Stop challenging me girl..

"What did you just said????" I roared and turned to her..

"Yes you are a coward! You always say that only you have the right on me! Jab own karny ka time aya tou you are backing off! Filthy liar!" She shouted and within seconds I pined her with the wall..

"Shut up!" I groaned gritting my teeth and she mocked a laugh..

"Why? Sun ni pa rahy? Tmhri mardaangi pay baat ki hai tou bura laga? Such a big liar you are! You don't love me! You are a liar! I am just a time pass!" She was an idiot and that was it for me. I slammed my lips over hers and she replied with equal favor. We kissed hungrily like never before! I knew where this kiss will lead and I knew..! But I was going mad..

Murjhaayi si shaakh pe dil ki

Phool khilte hain kyun

Baat gulon ki zikr mehak ka

Acha lagta hai kyun

Un rango se tune milaaya

Jinse kabhi main mill na paaya

"Prove it Malhotra!!!" She challenged me between the kiss and my hands traveled behind her back just to fumble with the zip but It didn't opened leaving no choice for me but to rip it off and she gasped loudly. I pushed her on the bed hovered over her. She fisted the bedsheets in her hands but I pinned her hands above her head dipping my face in her neck kissing, biting, sucking and niping each spot..

"Manik..!" She suddenly moaned snapping me out of my trance and I stopped. What the hell am I doing? 

"Shimmer!!!" I tried to get off but she held be tightly wrapping her arms around my shoulders..

"Don't leave me!" She whispered in my ear and her next words surprised me more. "Make love to me Manik..!" She spoke kissing my ear and I stared at her face.

"You won't regret in the morning Right?" I asked lowly..

As much as she wanted this I too wanted her so badly..

"Never!" She said lovingly and then I didn't hesitated. 

We both didn't knew when we were under the blanket. How we both kissed each other. It all started so violently but I proceeded slow and gentle. I whispered sweet nothings and naughty talks in her ear to which she giggled cutely. Gradually the night passed and she needed release! I needed release! Urgency increased and she scratched her nails on my back trying to covey her feelings.

"Nandini! Baby relax! It's just me!" I tried to calm her down when she bite on my shoulder to suppress her screams..

"Please!!!" She moaned bearly and I finally gave her what she wanted to which she screamed loudly while I sealed our lips to drink her moans her body was jerking with after spasms and I held her very close to me. She dug her face in my chest and I kissed her hair.

"Breathe bella!" I spoke rubbing her back and suddenly she sucked a deep breath. Her nails were dug in my back and she was breathing heavily in my chest. I knew her inner turmoils. She was all wounded..

"Thank you!" I heard her whisper after so long and I smiled. Suddenly  I remembered something and I raised myself a little.

"I have something for you!" I said getting up and wore my discarded pants. She lazily got up holding the blanket near her chest and sat resting her back with the bed board eyes closed. I picked up my coat and searched it's pockets. 

Yeah! Got it the ring..

I walked closer to her and sat beside her. 

"You know it's the most beautiful night of my life Manik! It feels your touch is still lingering over my body!" She was speaking with close eyes while I smiled..

"I love you so much Manik! You can't compare my craziness for you! Jab tak tmhy choo na loon! Tmhy apny pass mehsoos na kar loon mera din nahi guzarta! You have stole my heart! It belongs to you now!" She was saying all this and suddenly without interrupting her I slid the ring in her finger she sat straight with a jerk.

"Mumma's ring? Oh God Manik!" She shouted happily and flunged in my arms. "I love you sooo much!" She exclaimed loudly..

"I got it for you! I arranged it!" I lied..

Sh!t again a lie..

"Thank youu!!!" She whispered lovingly and I smilingly laid her back on the bed. After sometime she was lying with her back pressed with my chest and her head on my spread arm. I was nuzzling in her hair. I so much wanted to tell her my reality..

"Shim! If someday you will come to know what I am in real tou will you forgive me?" I asked softly and waited for her answer. "Bolo na baby!" I said raising a little to look at her and to my luck she was fast asleep.

Maybe some other time.

I pecked her hair and closed ny eyes..

I love you Nandini..
