Manan's Apartment
Malad West
Mumbai
Random day
Manik was about to enter the washroom when he turned to Nandini and spoke
Manik- kitten aaj formals mt nikalna.
Nandini- aaj aap office nae jaarae???
She asked.
Manik- studio jaana hai so..... much formals are not needed.
She nodded and he went away.
Soon Manik came to the dinning area where she was arranging the breakfast.
Manik- arre wahh.... aaj formals n all.... Something special? ??
Nandini- nae just ese he. It has been long I wore something western....
Manik- vese madam aaj kitno ko marne ka irrada hai? ??
She knitted her eyebrows in confusing while he continued
Manik- nae I mean look at you.... this dress giving you a full to sassy look with this choora adoring you wrists giving a desi look and the vermilion adding to it's glory. Sssssss.... hmm toh pehle se fida hai jaaneman ab kya tarpaana...
She blushed and hit his bisep.
Nandini- so cheesy Mr. Malhotra....
Manik- cheesy haa....
He pulled her in his lap. She wiggled in his hold while he tightened it and spoke
Manik- now why do want to escape haa wifey!!!!
Nandini- Manik chodea mujhe, breakfast thanda horaha hai...
Manik- hone do....
He spoke looking at her intensely.
Nandini- aap... aap... office... ke... ke... lia... late.... ho... hojaenge....
She shivered seeing the intensity in his eyes.
Manik- the rest will handle....
He nuzzled in her hair making her breathe hitch in her throat. A soft moan escaped her lips when he bit her neck. He opened the first two buttons of her shirt amd kissed the valley of her chest, his one had holding her face and the other one in her hair pulling her close.
Namdini- Ma... Ma..... Manik... please!!!
She spoke with much difficulty. He placed his lips on her, kissing her sensously. He tilted his neck and deepened the kiss to which Nandini moaned. Panting, he spoke
Manik- we are gonna jam tonight Mrs. Malhotra....
She lowered her eye lashes being shy and he smiling caressing her cheek with his thumb. He lifted her face and she looked at him but immediately lowered down her lashes. He kissed her forehead and spoke
Manik- go straighten yourself before I do more damage...
She bit her lower lip and ran to their room.

Nandini was sitting in her cabin reading some files when the door was knocked.
Nandini- come in....
She spoke still engrossed in her file.
"Nandini, are you busy??", Alya asked entering. She looked up and smiled seeing her.
Nandini- hey Alya!!!!
She got up and both hugged.
Nandini- what a pleasant surprise. Aaj yaha???
Both settled down.
Alya- emmm Nandini I.. I wanted to talk to you.
Nandini- something wrong Alya???
Alya- Nandini vo I... I was thinking of adopting..... adopting a child.
Nandini- that's a great thing Alya. Did you talk to Dhruv about this???
She spoke holding her hand. Alya held her hand tightly and spoke
Alya- that's what I'm afraid of Nandini. Uss din ke baad we did not talk about baby. Once I suggested him to go for surrogacy but he was adamant not to.
Nandini- but surrogacy isn't anything wrong. It's just the lady carrying you child will be someone else that too 'cz your uterus is weak to carry a foetus.
Alya- I know.... but he'll never agree for this. He said he'll stay without a child but never go for surrogacy. Somewhere I understood his sentiments and did not question him further.
Nandini could only hmm in response.
Alya- but now I'm tired. Tired of pretending that I'm fine and this thing doesn't hurt anymore. I crave to be a mother Nandini. I.... I want someone to call me mom, someone who I can pamper, someone I can bring stuff with all my love and most importantly someone jispe mein apne mamta jta sku.
Nandini got up and hugged Alya rubbing her back.
Alya- you know Nandini I have been visiting "PARINDEY" orphanage lately and there I met with a little girl. Her name is Saira.
Nandini noticed the spark in Alya's eyes when she was telling her about Saira.
Alya- and... and...
Nandini- and you wish to adopt her right!!!
She asked softly. Alya nodded.
Alya- but I don't know how to talk to Dhruv about it. Whenever I initiate a convo about this topic he changes it clearly stating that he won't talk about it.
Nandini- only you can talk to him Alya. Try once, if not I and Manik will try. Rather take him to "PARINDEY" with you. May be he too feels connected to the little girly.
Alya- Nandini if you don't mind can we come to your house today evening???
Nandini- offcourse Alya, anytime...
Both smile.
Alya- thank you Nandini. I can never forget this.
Nandini- now that's being formal Alya.
She spoke pointing her index finger playfully and both chuckled.
Alya- acha I should leave now, studio bhe jaana hai.
Nandini- toh where we're you since morning???
Alya- vo I was at MUKALYA. Mukti had to go to college for some work and even I had to visit MUKALYA so we postponed the meeting.
Nandini mouthed an ohh and bidding bye to her Alya left.
It was post lunch when Nandini thought of informing Manik. Manik on the other side had just come out of the conference room with Fab4 when his phone rang.
Mukti- kiska phone hai bhai???
She teased him.
Cabir- arre bheem kya tu bhe. Nandini ka he hoga na. Miss krrae hoge vo....
He joined her. Manik smiled hearing their teasing.
Dhruv- tum dono chup raho. Buddy tu jaa baat krle hum sb cabin mein he hai.
Cabir/Mukti- here comes the good boy!!!
Conversation
Manik- hey!!!!
Nandini- chuck this, tell me itni late call kyu uthaya. Ek min aap meeting me toh nae ho na??? I'll call you later..
Manik- arre meri maa shant hojao. Atleast let me speak.
Nandini bit her tongue in embarrassment.
Manik- so tell me what's the matter.
Nandini- kyu?? Mein apne pati ko call bhe nae krskti.
Manik- madam tumhe mere romance pe PaNi daalna aata hai sirf, so come to the point.
She made a face and spoke
Nandini- so bad of you haa.
Manik- thank you, I know.
Nandini- chodea mujhe baat he nae krni, bye.
He chuckled and spoke
Manik- acha baba sorry. I was just irritating you.
Nandini- aaj aap shaam ko jldi ghr aajana.
Manik- why?? Jam toh raat ko krna hai na...
Nandini became crimson hearing him.
Nandini- shut up Mr. One Track Mind.
He laughed imagining her face and she bit her lower lip trying her best not to smile.
Manik- acha on a serious note, kuch kaam hai????
Nandini- vo Dhruv and Alya are coming for dinner and the reason I'll tell you jb aap ghr aaenge aur haa don't talk about it or ask them anything about it.
Manik- ookkk!!!!
He was a bit muddled. They bid bye and resumed their work.

Nandini was going back home when her phone rang. She connected the Bluetooth and answered the call
Sadhna- hello!!!! Nandu kese hai beta???
Nandini- achi hu badima, aap kese ho??? Aur baaki sb kese hai???
Sadhna- mein bhe thiik hu beta aur baaki sb bhe thiik hai. Aur bta kya krrae hai??

Nandini- pehle supermarket phir ghr.
Sashna- acha!!!!! Kitne din hogae Nandu tu milne nae aae.
Nandini- arre abhi kuch din pehle toh aae thi mein.
Sadhna- haa kyunki tujhe kuch saaman lena tha paas mein se aur socha ke milkr jaati hu.
Nandini bit her tongue while Sadhna continued
Sadhna- vese kaha aati hai tu...
She parked her car and went to the grocery store talking....
Nandini- time he nae lgta badima, subha se shaam hospital aur phir ghr jaake dinner bnana hota hai, ghr ka baaki kaam dekhna pdta hai hufff.... saara din toh ese he nikl jaata hai.
Sadhna- hai mera bacha, thakjata hoga....
Paying for the stuff she placed the packets in the backseat and herself sat in the driving seat.
Nandini- ab toh aadat hogae hai badima. Shuru shuru mein lgta tha ab toh routine bngae hai.
"Balidali balidali (baridaadi) kise baat klle oo (krrae ho)", she heard Aashi.
"Aapki bua se", Sadhna replied.
"Mule (mujhe) be (bhe) klne (krne) hai.. phl (phone) do na pjj (please)", Aashi spoke.
Aashi- boo...
Aashi spoke excitedly.
Nandini- hello boo ke doll, kese ho???
Aashi- boot aci (bohot achi). Aap ka (kya) kl (kr) li (rai) ho???
Nandini- mein toh ghr jaarae hu baby.
Aashi- aap ka wol (work) fish (finish) hogya??
Nandini- haa doll hogya. ...
She unlocked the house holding the packets carefully.
Nandini- aur mere doll kya krrae hai???
Aashi giggled and spoke
Aashi- homewol (homework) fis (finish) kl (kr) li (rai) thi
Nandini- very good. Aaj kya kya kiya phir aapne??
Aashi- boo mein na mamu se katti hu. Mamu le (nae) muj (mujhe) chocate (chocolate) le (nae) leke di aal (aaj).
She complained about Abhimnayu.
Nandini- aapne mamu se pucha nae ke unhone kyu nae leke di??
She sat on the couch after changing her clothes.
Aashi- pucha tha.... vo bole Aashi ke teeth khalab (kharab) hojenge (hojaenge). Mamu jut (jhoot) bole boo...
She spoke sadly.
Nandini- mamu ne jhoot nae bola beta. Zada chocolate khaane se teeth kharab hojaate hai aur phir doctor uncle sui (syringe) lgaenge phir yui (pain) bhe hogi.
Aashi- sachi mein???
Nandini- bilkul..
Aashi- boo Aashi le (ne) mamu ko bal (bad) bola. Mamu gussa honge??
Nandini- aap mamu ko sorry bolo, vo gussa nae honge. .
Aashi- pkka??
She asked unsure. At the same time the door bell rang and Nandini opened the door to see Manik standing there. They hugged each other and Nandini continued to speak
Nandini- pkka baby.
Manik asked her who through signal and she mouthed Aashi. He sat on the couch and she served him water.
Aashi- phil(phir) mein jaa li (rai) hu soi (sorry) carl (card) bnane. Bye bye boo.
She handed the mobile to Sadhna and ran away. Nandini chuckled and spoke
Nandini- acha barimaa mein baad mein phone krti hu Manik aagae hai ghr.
Sadhna- thiik hai beta, dhyaan rahna.
She cut the call and went to their room where Manik stood removing his accessories. She went and back hugged him making him smile. He pulled her hands from his torso to his lips and kissed them.
Manik- done talking??
She kissed his back making him smile. He pulled her forward encircling his arms around her waist. She too leaned to his touch and let her arms around his neck.
Manik- now tell me is there anything serious?? Suddenly Dhruv and Alya??
Nandini- vo actually....
And she narrated both the incidents of the fifanight and the present day.
Manik- so we need to insist Dhruv is it??
Nandini- not insist in particular. All we need to do is help Alya convey her feelings and POV to Dhruv. To say it in an easy language, keep him calm till Alya says what she wants to.
Manik- hmm. But don't you think it's like interrupting in their private talks??
Nandini- I felt that too. Meine Alya ko bola tha to talk to him rather take him to that orphanage but then she proposed this idea and I couldn't deny so....
Manik- hmm... I understand. I just hope Dhruv does not feel that being his wife Alya shared her worries with us instead of him and this may create a gap in their life.
For a moment, even Nandini considered his point.
Nandini- what to do now??? I myself was in a pool of emotions that time and couldn't think straight.
She spoke nervously fidgeting with his shirt button. He lifted her chin and spoke
Manik- hey!!! Don't worry okk. We'll obviously help them in anyway needed but at the same time make sure we don't interrupt their personal space.
She nodded relaxing a little.
Manik- now my queen, smile!!!
She smiled to her fullest and he pecked her forehead.
_________________________________________
Nandini was in the kitchen and Manik was in the study when the doorbell rang.
Nandini- Manik please darvaza khol dejea, mere haath gande hai....
She spoke and Manik came out of the study looking at her at nodding his head in disbelief. She passed him a sheepish grin and went to wash her hands. Soon she joined them with the snacks and hugged Dhrulya.
Dhruv- so buddy sudden dinner....
Manan and Alya looked at each other.
Manik- haa vo Nandini tried something new so socha let's get together.
Dhruv- baaki sb bhe aarae hai??
Nandini- ehh... Dhruv vo actually.
Alya- I guess I should say it now.
She looked at Manan who assured her through eyes.
Alya- Dhruv I... I... wanted to talk about something and this dinner plan was mine.
Dhruv- kya???
He asked confused.
Alya- Dhruv I.. I want... a... a... baby.
His facial expression changed and he spoke
Dhruv- I don't want to talk about it.
Manik- buddy atleast listen to her.
Dhruv- kya listen buddy. She can't concieve after that incident and I don't want to go for surrogacy. Aren't we happy among ourselves.
Alya- you don't understand my POV Dhruv. .. I want to be a mother and seeing everyone around loving their children hurts the mother inside me.
Dhruv- hum ghr pe baat krenge...
He dismissed the topic.
Alya- ghr pe you'll never talk about it and shut me.
Dhruv- Alya! !!
He tried to say something but she cut him..
Alya- I want a child and that's it.
She raised her voice.
Dhruv- then you too hear me loud and clear Alya that I'll never agree for surrogacy.
Nandini- guys please aaram se bethke baat krte hai, ese baat bigar jaegi.
Dhruv- please Nandini i consider you as my sister and I don't want to say anything which hurts you but at the same time I don't want to discuss my personal matter here, please understand.
Alya- no.... today you have to listen Dhruv.....
Manik- Alya calm down....
Alya- today I won't Manik.....
Dhruv- I don't want to talk about anything. I guess we should leave now...
Manik- buddy! !!!!
Dhruv- I guess the topic of discussion is something which I don't want to talk. I'm waiting in the parking Alya, come soon.
Alya- you too hear me loud and clear Mr. Dhruv Vedant.... I won't leave unless you agree to have a child.
Dhruv- fine then do whatever you want!!! I'm leaving.
Alya- divorce me then...
Her eyes filled with tears. Dhruv stopped on his tracks and turned to her. In a painful voice he spoke
Dhruv- never...
Alya- kill me then...
She fell on her feet crying hysterically. Nandini knelt and hugged her. She hugged her back and cried.
Dhruv- don't talk rubbish Alya. Are you even hearing yourself??
He shouted. Nandini looked at Manik with pleading eyes, her eyes filled with tears too. She made Alya stand and both went to the kitchen.
Dhruv sat on the couch holding his head. Manik placed his hand on Dhruv's shoulder
Dhruv- it's not like ke I don't want a child buddy.... even I want someone to call me papa pr agreeing for surrogacy means indirectly hurting her. I know she'll curse herself for not being able to concieve.
Manik- you can adopt a child buddy??? Rishte khoon se nae dil se bnte hai. Aaj mujhe, Mukti aur Veer ko dekhkr koe nae kehskta ke Mukti humare real sister nae hai kyunki yeh rishte dil se jurre hai khoon se nae.
Dhruv- I never.... tho... thought... about adoption.... uss...ussdin ke baad... mein...
Manik hugged him and tears made out their way from Dhruv's eyes too. Manik clear the drop of tear from the corner of his eye before it could drop. He patted Dhruv's back and spoke
Manik- talk to her.... chal...
He nodded and both went to the kitchen when Nandini was consoling Alya.
Alya- I... I can't stay like this Nandini.... it hurts... hurts alot...
She spoke. Before Nandini could say something, Dhruv called Alya's name.
Dhruv- Al... Alya... can we opt for adoption???
Alya- you.... you really want to??
She asked with teary eyes. He nodded. Both hugged each other and Manan went out to give them some lone time.
The dinner went well and bidding Dhrulya bye Manan came back.
Manik- all's well that ends well.
He sighed. Nandini nodded and picking up the dishes went to the kitchen. He went behind her and picked her up in bridal style. A squeal escaped her lips she looked at Manik.
Manik- remember we decided to jam??
He raised his eyebrows. She hid her face in his chest and he chuckled seeing her.
He hovered her laying her on the bed. Sharing an intense eyelock, they kissed like crazy as if their lives depend on it. His tongue sliped inside her mouth, gentle yet demanding, and every square inch of her body dissolved into his. Her fingers gripped his hair, pulling him closer. Her veins throb and heart exploded with desires. He pushed himself more into her earning a soft moan from her. She could feel him pressed against her and inhale his cologne, the most addictive smell she could even imagine. She caressed his slight bit of stubble and he closed his eyes feeling her touch. He then rubbed his cheek against her skin. His hands were everywhere, and his mouth already on top of mine. In a swift he entered her earning a soft cry and once again two souls reunited.
Hii there people!!! A very happy holi to all of you. May god fill all of our lives with colours of happiness and success.
