Murderous Desires ✔

Chapter 17

( Nandini P.O.V. )

" I am so happy for both of you! " Ma exclaimed as she took me in her embrace. I smiled and hugged her back, parting away she looked at me in a motherly love which made my eyes glassy. How could I not see the love in their eyes for me.

" No crying anymore sweety. " She kissed my forehead and I nodded smiling. " So let's call it for a party! " We heard Dad shout from behind as he popped up a bottle of champagne. I smiled at Manik when he side hugged me and planted a soft kiss on my forehead.

" Ahem Ahem. " I flushed as Mom Dad caught us staring at each other while Manik parted away and took a glass. " Come, let's dance! " I heard mom giggle as Manik swtiched on the music player and we matched the steps.

I sat on the couch breathing heavily as I snatched a packet of chips from Manik and he pouted. " C'mon Nandini, you got tired so soon? " Dad asked settling himself behind me while Mom sat beside Manik after switching off the music system.

" Yes! " They chuckled when Mom snatched the phone from Manik's hand on which he was furiously typing. " Ma.. " He whined and I giggled on which he glared at me making me shut. " Oww.." He winced in pain as Mom twisted his ear.

" Manik, atleast right now leave your phone. Din bhar phone par! " She spoke annoyingly on which defeatedly he kept the phone back in the pocket. " Okay, okay! " Dad smiled keeping his glass on the table and turning towards us.

" Tomorrow is a party. Yes! I am calling all my friends, business partners, relatives and media. We couldn't do your guys reception so now let's do it! " Mom clapped in happiness and Dad bowed. Me and Manik exchanged glances and then he spoke.

" Dad, no need of all this. We had our small party that is enough! " He tried to explain them but Dad stood up and shook his head. " No, iskeliye party is important. So no excuses. Aur abhi toh tere bacche bhi nahi hue toh enjoy. " He winked at Manik on which he blushed.

" Now you my children go and have fun, till the time me and your mom will too. " Mom slapped his shoulder on which he winked and took her to their room leaving us behind in silence. " So? " I suddenly heard his husky voice in my ear making my jump in place.

Does he know telepotation?

" S..o wh.,at? " I stuttered and felt him give me a kiss on my left shoulder. " Tell me what is bothering you? " He questioned me jumping on my left side on the couch. I sighed knowing if I lie he would know it.

" Manik I am scared. I am scared what if Di comes back and what will happen then? What if I get separted from you! " I spoke out my insecurites and glanced at him. " Nandini whatever happens, remember one thing I am yours and no one could take me away from you! "

He assured me kising my forehead gently and I nodded hoping for that as he hugged my placing me on his lap. " I love you Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra. " He accepted kissing my cheek from behind and I closed my eyes resting my head on his chest.

" I know you need time baby, I am absolutely fine with that! " I smiled hearing him and snuggled more into him. I wish I had met Manik first, he is so understanding unlike him. Wait? Why am I even comparing him with Manik?

" It is late we should sleep now and we also have to do preparations for tomorrow also. " I heard him when I felt my body lift. " Hmm.. " I hummed in response being too lazy to form a word. I heard him chukle and soon I felt myself hugging my pillow and drift into sleep.

( Manik P.O.V. )

" Mere beta kitna pyaara lag raha hai! " Ma smiled as she kissed my forehead. " Mom, I am born handsome! " I smirked looking at myself in the mirror and Mom chuckled. " Aakhir genes kiske hai? " I heard Dad exclaim proudly.

" Mom, Where is Nandini? " I questioned her keeping my wallet and she peeked from behind as she arranged my bed. " Sabr Kar. Itna toh main bhi utawla nahi hua tha. " I snorted hearing Dad while Ma blushed.

" Maa...! " I whined and she kissed my cheek. How much old I grow I will need Mom and Dad. I don't feel embarass to be called as ' Momma's Boy! '.

" Manik she is getting ready, after all that is what you wanted. Everything best! " She shook her head and I scracthed my nape being embarassed. " Come in! " I replied hearing a knock on the door when Aman entered.

" Sir the arrangements are done. " He spoke and I nodded. " Chalo. " Dad spoke joyfully and I smiled as we exited the room towards the hall.

It is going to be fun. After all it is going to be my first night.

I smirked as I climbed down the stairs and glanced at the closed door of Nandini's room.
