"Shit!! You idiot !! Nandini Tu pagal h !! Kiss Kar Diya??? Ahaaa.....aab Woh kya soch Raha Hoga?? Aab main usko face kaise Karo?? Main kya bolo usko? Ugghh...Nandini Tu har baar kio aisi situation main kaise mtlb kaise phas jaati h " Nandini said loudly again hidding her face through her palms smilingly.

"How should i go there now?? I need to give him water too . Aab? Idea i will

Just keep the water near the table and than i will go back to my room. Yes"Nandu took deep breath and taking the water left from kitchen.

Whereas Manik was still sitting in the same position . His eyes widened and lips curved in a beautiful smile.

Nandu entered in the room to see Manik still sitting like this making her more nervous. Taking a deep breath she stepped forward gaining manik's attention.

Nandu- woh PaNi...

Nandu kept the glass on table and turned to leave when manik's word stopped her.

Manik - pls confirm me that it's not a dream.

"Huh?" Nandu turned back to him.

"it's a dream right?? I mean why would you ever want to kiss a person like me in real!! Its obviously a dream. Yes.!! The most beautiful dream. How stupid of me to think that it is real!!" manik said getting up and looking at nandini.

Nandini can just listen to his words with a confused and surprised face. A smile came on her lips as she moved forward to hold his hands.

"and what if I say it's not a dream?" Nandu said holding his hands tightly.

"confirm me that!! Coz I don't believe it!!" manik said boldly .

He surely was thinking it was a dream.

"manik kiss me!!" Nandu said confidently looking in his eyes.

" and see that's a dream." manik said smilingly after listening to her.

"than kiss me in the dream." Nandu said holding his collars.

Tightening her hold on his collars and bringing her face closer to his she closed her eyes while manik just stared at her beautiful face.

"I hope I never wake up from this dream. This seems soo real. You seem soo beautiful I mean if it was a reality than you would have never stood soo close to me." manik said before holding her waist and pulling her closer.

"and If you were not thinking that it is a dream than I would not have listened that. I must say I am liking this manik" Nandu said smilingly looking at him.

Their moment got disturbed when they both heard a click sound.

Still in the same position nandu looked at door to see vikram, abhi, cabir and dhruv staring at them with widened eyes.

Manik looked at them and begin to laugh.

"and see even they are in my dream. This is the most realistic dream I ever had!!" manik said laughingly pulling nandu more closer while nandu looked at manik with widened eyes.

She started pulling herself out of his hold .

"What happened. Don't worry they are not gonna tease us in my dream." manik said to which nandu could just sigh.

She looked at the four of them in which one looked other side totally embarrassed, one was giving them teasing smirks and other two were just looking at thier faces not knowing what to say.!!

" manik that's not a problem. You guys continue with your dream we will come later!!" cabir said smirking.

"and see this makes it more realistic" manik said pointing at cabir with one hand while one hand was still resting on nandu's waist.

Nandu finally took a deep breath and came out of manik's hold to which manik made a sad pout.

"dad woh actually woh" Nandu looked at her dad nervously who was now giving her a mischievous smile.

"dad you aren't embarrassed right??" Nandu asked raising her one eyebrow..

"nope" her dad said casually.

"you were faking an embarrassed face at that time" Nandu said unbelievably.

"don't change the topic. Bottom line is you lied to us all that you are Having headache so that you both can be alone." vikram said giving nandu a smirk.

"Dad!! I really was having. Manik was just giving me massage!!" Nandu said trying to cover up but not looking at his eyes.

"by applying lipstick on his lips??" abhi said pointing at manik who was standing casually enjoying the scene.

"yeah... Manik don't you think lipsticks aren't a nice way of giving massages." cabir said looking at him.

Manik laughed loudly

"Ohh don't worry about me cabir. Nandu surely have no problem with this way" manik said jokingly but his this statement made thier mouth shut.

They all were shocked by his bold statement.

"have that kiss made manik nuts!!" Nandu thought annoyed by his dreamy look on the face and the way he was not freaking out. All this was making more difficult for nandu to handle the situation.

"fine. It's many days we have got married but we hardly get time to spend with eachother. Manik doesn't like going to club soo we figured out we can spend some time with eachother here. I don't see anything wrong in that!!" Nandu said finally annoyed.

"its Okey nandu. We were just teasing you. You guys can go out any time you want. In fact we are happy to hear that you guys are making effort to be with each other. But one last thing is manik drunk??" dhruv said sweetly but at last a tinch of tease got mixed in it.

"bhai you too!!" Nandu said now totally annoyed.

"Okey you can't blame us nandu!! Look at him. He is totally fine and not at all blushing or freaking out. You know more that you he used to blush or stammer or freak out. But here is standing all calm. Soo we really doubt is he alright?" cabir said unbelievably.

" awww cabir tu meri kitni chinta krta h. I mean aab merko lag raha h that this dream will become real soon!! " manik said excitedly.

" Okey. Hold on. Abhi and dhruv Bhai, jeeju, dad just give us a second. We both will be right back." Nandu said and dragged manik to thier room who was smilingly stupidly.

Closing the door nandu sat on bed holding her head.

" Okey manik come here." Nandu said looking at manik who now widened his eyes..

" come there?? What are we gonna do near bed??" manik asked surprised.

"Jeez are you drunk??" Nandu shouted making manik shudder.

He looked at her strangely.

"manik that's not a dream. We kissed for real. They saw us in a compromising state in real. And you uttered those words in real." Nandu said looking at him.

And taking his hands pinched him.

"ouchhh " manik screamed rubbing his arm.

"you are soo strong." manik said looking at nandini.

"wait!! This pain!! Does that mean??" manik asked widening his eyes and opening his mouth in a big O shape.

"God" manik sat shockingly on the couch holding his head...

He hided his face by his palms and closed his eyes.

"Okey manik don't need to be embarrassed. It was just mee... I mean one or the other day we had to kiss right ?? Soo why not today... Dont freak out plss... Dont get upset!! Its happens..sometimes even i mistook reality as dream... Dont worry it's totally fine... Calm down calm down. " Nandu said sitting on her knees keeping hands on his thighs.

" I just uttered those words?? Did they just witnessed us like that!?? I behaved that way with you!!! We kissed!! And you are telling me not to freak out " manik shouted looking at nandu and again hided his face.

"God manik its Okey. I mean I loved this bold carefree mode of yours. It was the first time you actually initiated to do something. Remember on our wedding night you said let's go slow and that we will be going ahead in our relationship slowly i guess its time we should move one step ahead. I know you are different. You are not bold and get shy easily. But manik I believe that if we want or feel something than we should not get shy but we should be bold enough to say that. And I feel that I am comfortable enough to take that step in our relationship. Soo it's Okey if we kissed. " Nandu said calmly which did its manik as now manik was calmed down a bit.

" you didn't mind the way I behaved??" manik asked innocently.

" off course no. in fact I loved that mode of yours " Nandu said smilingly making manik smile too.

" Ohh god you don't know nandu you made me soo much relieved. At least I can face you now!! But what about others? " manik asked again freaking out.

"Don't worry we will handle them together. Now let's go?" Nandu said holding his hand to which manik nodded quite composed.

Both got up and nandu was about to open the door when she turned to manik.

"Aaa manik pls wipe that lipstick off. I doesn't look good if we down like this!!" nandu said before rushing out of the door while manik stood thier blushing with his hands on his lips.

"Ohh see whose back!! I didn't knew one second means thirty minutes!!" cabir said once he saw nandu coming.

"jeeju don't start again. Otherwise i will tell didu the reason you didn't came on the meeting that day!!!" nandu said coming dangerously close to cabir's ears shutting cabir's mouth.

"and before abhi bhai you start let me tell you I have quite an idea about what's going between you Mukti dii. And I think navya di won't appreciate it if she got to listen about this from anyone except you." Nandu said coming close to abhi...

She than moved towards vikram and hugged him." and dad didu won't be happy after learning that behind our back you eat sweets even after knowing you have diabetes. Though I was going to myself deal with it but seems like navya dii too have to interfere!! Should she??" Nandu asked breaking the hug and looked at vikram who nodded in no.

She than moved towards dhruv.

" bhai I hope you know that I know you eat outside food and spices even after strict orders of alya bhabhi to wat diet and health food. " Nandu's words made dhruv widen his eyes.

She than moved in middle.

"don't worry all your secrets are safe if you guys won't open your mouths anything related to what happened now !!! Specially in front of manik!! He should not be embarrassed more!!" Nandu warned them to which everyone agreed instantly.

She smiled proudly and with everyone sat in living room. Manik too joined them nervously but seeing them acting like nothing has happened surprised him.

Everyone was talking on random stuff and soon he too got comfortable and mingled it making nandu smile and sigh in relief.
