Manik's pov-

Fuck!

I'm Married now. Manik Malhotra is married. How weird does it sounds!

My mom loves to force me in doing things which I hate, first she wanted me to get married as according to her I'm becoming a Man Whore.

' Manik, I'm so disappointed. you're becoming a Man Whore' This was the exact words which my mother said an year back

At that time, I rolled my eyes saying 'whatever ' which she didn't like and now she got me Married by emotionally blackmailing me that how much Dad wanted me to to get married and all.

Dad !

My superhero, my inspiration, and my rockstar whom I love more than anything passed away one afternoon when I was in 9th grade.

That day was Black day of my life, last day of me seeing my idol and first day of me avoiding the world.

My Dad's sudden demise took a toll on me making me insecure and scared about people closest to me. Henceforth, I started avoiding people or having any emotional attachments with anyone except my mother and the four idiots of mine.

Losing people who are closest to your heart leaves a certain emptiness which can never fill or replaced, no matter whom you meet or how much you try.

And that is what happened to me, recovering and facing the reality was the hardest part which made me a person who stopped interacting except 5 people in my life.

People think I'm being egoistic or just another spoilt rich brat but the reality is I'm scared and can't afford to add another name on the list of my closed ones.

What if again-

Life's pretty much unpredictable, and call be selfish, I don't care but I can't.

Anywhich ways my mother has great persistence skills. She knows I love her the most and take full benefit of that.

And Thanks to Mom, I got married.

That too with HER!

Given a chance, I would have never married her even if she's the last girl in the world.

Anyone but not her. Not her .

Its not like I hate her or annoyed by her, instead she has fucked up my mind by her big doe eyes, chubby cheeks, fiesty sassiness, clumsiness, innocence, childishness, every thing where I'm afraid that she'll surpass the walls I've made around me to protect myself.

This girl holds the power to bring out the best and the worst of me at the same time.

She evokes a different kind of emotions in me, a sense is warmth, peace and safety which I'm avoiding since my father.

There are plenty of girls across the world from supermodels to teenagers who are actually mad of me, its quite normal for me. I never got affected by any one of them except her.

To be honest, I had a number of no strings attached flings all these years, but she is innocent, way too innocent to even think about it.

Just a mere sight of her does something in my stomach where I really really really want to have her in my own way but I'm afraid she'd be broken the minute I'll be done.

Cause I'm not ready for any kind of emotional attachments, henceforth I tries to keep myself away from her as much as I can control.

My mother told me she is the one for me, I immediately denied

She is not the one for me, She can't be the one. I mean look at her and me. We are poles apart. Both are stubborn to the next level then how can she be the one?

She is different in a different way!

Urghh! How should I describe her?

She doesn't have an hour glass figure or face yet there is something about her which forces me to think about her. Every fucking Moment. She is innocent yet wild, naive yet smart, clumsiest yet organized, hate attention yet always manages to take the spotlight.

The first time I saw or more like noticed her was when she barged in my class for taking her 'favourite' seat.

Aaah!! It was an amusing scene

Time and again, she managed to embarrassed herself. luckily, I was always present to see that.

I even talked with her a few times on call which was way too unlike of me, Talking to her somehow gave me peace, relaxation and happiness

Its not like she motivated me with her talk, but her voice and antiques itself acted like a peace to me.

From the starting, I very well knew she likes me and talking to me would give her hope and directly or indirectly, I took a benefit of that which was selfish on my part.

So selfish!

I remember leaving and rejecting her proposal, at that time I had this weird sadness in my heart which I don't want to experience ever again.

As they say, times flies quickly and just like that, she became a excerpt of my life. I went back to my original schedule that was just like any other spoilt rich guy.

Sleeping with different women, alcohal, fights, races and what not! Its not something that I'm proud of. I would be lying if I say I never missed her or got a random thought about her or how she'd act in any situation, but it is what it is!

Heck! a mere mention of flight also reminded me of her.

The one thing which I actually feel guilty about all these years was when I saw her again 2 years back, Seeing her made me realise that I fucking Missed her, but still I asked who are you.

I hate myself for that day.

I remember, Her face had lost all her colours like she get the reality check, I was so blank with my thoughts that I couldn't even correct my words.

Never in my wildest dream, I thought her to be my wife.

Its strange that my friends use to tease me with her name in college, Cabir's exact words were ' She is the one for you '

And I slap his head at that time, but now I wonder, how the hell he got the idea

What am I gonna do now?

How'd I protect myself from her deep doe eyes?

Someone please, please save me from her. I'm scared to put my feelings into words. I'm shit scared.

The tickling sound of the clock made me look at the wall only to see its 3:50 am. Moving my eyes away from the clock, I again looked down.

So innocent and peaceful!

The moon light falling on her face from the window is making her innocence predominant.

She is sleeping like no care of the world. No one seeing her innocent face right now would think that this girl has kicked me a few hours back.

Which no body dared till now and Weirdly I'm not angry.

I deserved the kick!

Life has been nothing but a roller coaster and in all this, I have been awarded a storm as my better half.

Nandini Murthy!

'No one has ever affected me like you did, what Should I do now? ' I thought looking at her innocent face

The sound of birds chirping made me finally look away from her only to realise that its early morning already.

Fuck!! I'm staring at her since 4 hours, God help me!

Looking at her again, I saw her parted lips which looks so inviting, I had the sudden urge to kiss her senselessly, She had no idea how I control myself whenever I see her.

If only she could hear my thoughts

She groaned turning side, her eyes twitched indicating she's about to wake up, I hurriedly went and faked sleeping.

---------------

Its hard to fake sleep when you feel someone is staring at you. And that's how I was feeling.

A particular Someone was staring at me, I could feel that but to my luck, I had to act.

A little later, I felt her closer and in a blink of eye she touched the mole above my lips which stopped my breathe.

Her fingers was shivering, I control myself from gulping or to just take her under me and have my way with her.

A few moments later, when she started removing her finger, I couldn't help but opened my eyes, " So, you've the habit of touching others while they're asleep? "

Her face was flushed like she's caught red handed, she started looking here and there finding out an excuse, while I pulled her on top of me and immediately turned to come on the top

This time, I locked her legs with mine in such a way that she couldn't kick.

Safety first

" You haven't answer my question? " I asked huskily coming closer.

God, I'm literally acting like a pervert

" I-uhh-I I was just ch-checking tha-that is it s-still pa-paining? " She whispered timidly

It took me a second to depict what she means making my eyes wide and lips curved upward a little with her naive-ness

Never fails to amuse me!

Deciding to tease her a little, I moved closer, making sure my lips are touching her ears, I whispered sensually " No, I'm not okay "

Saying this, I look at her face who was red like a tomato, she was trying to say something but unable to speak

I kept my patience and stared at her flushed face with a teasing smirk when she said in an almost inaudible voice, looking guilty " Y-you should take some me-medicine or some pa-pain relieving cream "

Oh God!

How am I gonna act all tough when she's like this

" You know there is a third option also" I stated focusing on her lips

" What? " She questioned innocently

Fuck, I can't.

I reluctantly left her sitting on the bed while she was still confused with the third option.

Before anyone could say, my phone rang making me sigh in relief

----------------------

Coming back to Mumbai, We straight went to the palace, my mother lives in the ancestral palace of ours while I live in a penthouse nearby.

The whole ride, no one spoke anything. I know she's hurt for what I said yesterday, to be honest I am a jerk to say those things just to save myself from her questions about why I'm behaving nicely with her?

" Nandu, wait what are you wearing?" Her Mumma exclaimed seeing her

And for the first time since yesterday, she grinned widely running to her mother ignoring what she said about her clothes.

Well, the less than a day bride of mine was wearing an oversized T-shirt with a trouser, looking no where married but cutest in the universe.

I adore Nandini and her mother relationship, they argue a lot but still they love each other silently without any showing like no one.

" How are you? "Mumma asked when she saw Nandini whining amd groaning with her never ending etiquettes questions.

After having a little talk, her mother stood up to leave.

I thought she'd cry but Nandini is Nandini, she never fails to amuse me. This time, she gave her mother an envelope with a smile

With a confused face, her mother opened the envelope only to get shock, " Nandini?."

" Your trip to Switzerland " she replied grinning

" But Beta- " Mumma tried to speak but she interrupted

" No buts and if, Mumma. You always wanted to go to Switzerland and this is my wedding gift for you " she said

" Nandu- " Mumma again tried to deny which she interrupted again

" No, you're going and that's final. Go on, have fun, explore, date and top of all Enjoy. Your flight is day after tomorrow from Delhi. The hotel and every other details, I have already sent you. Moreover, I'm looking forward to meet your hot foreign boyfriend " Nandini ordered her mother and tried winking at the end where she failed miserably.

" Shut up, I'm your mother " Mumma showed eye to Nandini which she simply ignored and hugged her tightly.

" I'll miss you, Mumma " She whispered slowly and I saw a drop of tear falls from her eyes which she quickly wiped

" I'll miss you more my baby " Mumma replied kissing her forehead.

Mumma turned towards me and smiled

" Manik, take care of yourself, Neyonika and her " She whispered hugging me

I smiled nodding and with this she left .
------------------------

Soon after Mumma left, Mom stood up saying she'll be tagging with Mumma. Its gonna be a bestfriends Long Trip.

Mom and Mumma are childhood buddies just like me and the 4 friends of mine. I visited their house in Delhi quite many times when I was a child, where I had only blurry memories of a little girl who used to scream a lot.

Turned out, she was none other than my now Wife.

" Ahaa, Cons of being married guys " I heard Cabir chuckling loudly. I looked up to see all my friends were giving me a mischievous look and thats when I realised I was smiling.

Shit!

I rolled my eyes at my friends not caring much about their not so decent double meaning comments, While my wife was only frowning her eyebrows in confusion.

And here she says she knows everything!

" Anyways guys, lets go clubbing. Its been long and Nandini is also here " Cabir said

" uhh Yes, please " Mukti agreed

Nandini was just a mere spectator all this while and when she didn't spoke, I said " uhh guys, lets go after a few days. We all are tired from the whole wedding preps "

Nandini gets very awkward around people she's not comfortable with and my friends would tease the hell out of her if she'll go today. So, I gave an excuse.

" Alright, but we're going on Friday. No more excuses after that and hope you guys are not TIRED then" Mukti teased making my friends laugh, my wife confuse and I just scoffed.

" Its no fun to tease them. One doesn't care and other is too naive to understand " Alya complaint

" Wait for few weeks Alya, the one who doesn't understand will understand soon " Cabir whispered making sure only Me and my friends can hear

While I chuckled a little.

Looking at Nandini she was sitting quietly like the most sweetest girl in the world. I sighed looking at her and then turned to my friends

" Alright. Times up. Now get lost" I ordered rubbing my palms while standing

" Jerk " Mukti muttered but fortunately after a little more failed attempt of teasing they left
