Manik was the first one to wake up next morning. He saw his baby girl sleeping cutely clutching the bed sheet. He gave a peck on her forehead and left to freshen up.

He came to living room and saw Anupam reading the newspaper next to Sharatha.

"Good morning aunty" he wished her.

"Good mrng beta. Looks like your face his glowing between where is your pyaari wife?" She questioned.

"She is fully tiered in those marriage arrangements. So i didn't wake her up early" he smiled.

"You both are such a understanding couple" Sharatha praised them.

"You are the one who made her tiered na boss" Anupam whispered in his ears getting a glare from his boss.

After sometime nandu wake up lazily ansy saw the time.

"Aiyappa!! 8 o clock like seriously. I will kill you Manik for this! What aunty will think of me!" She hurriedly left to the washroom.

Manik prepared coffee and Nivi prepared tiffen for all of them along with kheer. Nandu opted to wear a saree today. She dried her wet hair and wear her kajal and other accessories. Suddenly her eyes fell on the sindoor box.

"If i didn't apply sindoor aunty will question me. So aiyappa today alone i need to act like a typical wife of Manik Malhotra" she pouted while applying the sindoor on her forehead.

"Today some one looking extra beautiful" she giggled on her own reflection and left to the the living area.

"Good morning aunty" she bend towards Sharatha for her blessings.

"God bless you beta. You are very beautiful in this saree looking like a newly wedded bride" she complimented her.

Manik was numb to see his baby girl in such a cute attire.

"Come let's have the breakfast" Anupam said to everyone.

"Boss concentrate on the food not on my behna" he whispered in Manik's ears which made him to come out from his lala land.

After breakfast all of them sat for a chat while sipping the juice.

"So boss i think we should leave for our home even we have office na" Anupam asked

"Mr.PA your boss is not a cruel person who will ask you to join office next day of your marriage. This is your tickets to swiss for honeymoon. Go and enjoy with my behna, 15 days off for you both" Manik said giving the tickets.

"Bhai already we spent so much then why this? Even we have more works in office" she denied.

"Do you guys think i am not capable to work alone. Then you are highly mistaken Mrs.Anupam. Just go enjoy, it's your brother's order" he chuckled and went to his room.

"So di pack your bags soon, even i will help you" Nandu sais excitedly.

"You guys are so lucky to have a friend like him" Sharatha praised Manik.

Nandu went to their room and saw Manik was speaking with someone in the phone.

"Why you are this much good Manik" she back hugged him after he ended the call.

"Because i am surrounded with good people" he took her in his arms.

"Between i must praise my baby's beauty today. This sindoor has my heart baby. Really you are looking like a sanskari wife" he kissed her cheeks.

"Hmm everything for sharatha aunty. She will definitely question me if i didn't apply sindoor. Just one day for her happiness" she said

Manik sat in the balcony chair taking Nandu on his lap.

"Baby these marriages and all exciting na? Colours, floweral designs, etc" Manik said

"But it's for cute couple like Anupam jiji and Nivi dii Manik. Otherwise marriage is total bulshit for me!" She mocked

"Why baby, we will have our soul mate right!" He asked

"Manik when you started to think about soulmate and all. As a human we need other person to support us. But marriage are just another form of wasting money and standing in the court for divorce once you fed up with your partner. Our livin relationship is far better than those waste stuffs" she said

"Then won't you get married in your life?" He questioned to know her answer.

"Ofcourse no Manik! Already my birth is the reason of one mistaken night. That too i dnt know whether legitimate or illegitimate! So i dnt want any Love or marriage stuff in my life. Between why Mr.Malhotra is curious to know my reply? Are you gonna propose me?" She winked at him.

"But one day you will feel love Nandu" he whispered.

"Haha love is another threat in life Manik. It will give pain alone, i wish i dnt want to be loved" she said keeping her head on his chest.

"But I love you Nandu beyond my life" he screamed in his mind.

"Manik now dnt make me bore by these rubbish talks. See today after seeing me in saree dnt you think to do anything?" She teased him

"Ofcourse how i will miss to cherish my baby girl" he said kissing her cheeks but deep inside he was hurt by her thoughts of Love.

At evening AnuVi packed everything for their trip. Manan came to home after dropping Sharatha in her home. Manik straightaway went to their room to freshen up. Nandu arranged their clothes in the wardrobe and went to prepare dinner for them.

Manik came out saw the room alone. He wore his vest and shorts and came kitchen. He helped her in the kitchen works and they shared few words about common topic. Being tired both retired to bed early.

Once Nandu slept Manik came to his secret room and locked it.

"Is this my fault to love her papa or her parents fault to made her orphan. How can i change her perspective for love and marriage. Even i was the same before she came into my life. But i changed now because of her care. Why dnt she feel my love for her. Even i am scared now to open up my heart to her. What if she decide to leave my life. I can't even think a mint without her. I felt helpless dad! Tell me what i should do now" he cried seeing his dad's photo. He slept there itself with dried tears.

Next morning Manik got up before Nandu and prepared coffee and breakfast for them.

"Manik who asked you to do all these works, i am there na" Nandu came wearing a kurti.

"It's okay baby i didn't felt to sleep much. Now have your coffee" he forwarded the glass.

Both had the breakfast with some cute fights ans got ready to their jobs. Manik dropped her in the Shool

"Take care of you baby and have your good without delay" he pecked her forehead.

"You too Manik, dnt forget to have your lunch. Miss me!! bye" she kissed his cheeks and went inside the school.

Manik blushed a bid tracing his hands on cheeks where she kissed.

After completing his one meeting he cane to his cabin to check some files. His eyes went through his phone lockscreen image when a message popes out.

"Nandu you did some magic to me. This arrogant Monster turned into a crazy lover boy. I can't even do my work without thinking about you. Why you are always happy to mess my mood? I just waiting for the day when you say those three words to me. Time will make you fell for me Nandu. I won't give up on us" Manik smiled and continued his works.

In school principal asked Nandu to invite Mr.Sharma for the school function. They are the one of main trustee of the school. Nandu got the invitation card along with the bouquet to their home.

"Sir may i see Mr & Mrs. Sharma pls?" Nandu asked the security.

"Even i have the appointment to meet them" she shown the letter

The security made her sit in the living area and went to call his boss. A lady of 45 years came to greet her.

"Hi Ms.Nandini, welcome" she greeted.

"Hi Mam, is Mr.Sharma sir in home?" She asked with a smile

"Why? Won't you speak with Mrs.Sharma?" She chuckled.

"Not like that Mam. Sry, between thanks for being a constant support to our school. I gladly welcome you to the inauguration function of the new building. You and sir should come to honour us" she gave the bouquet.

"Sure we will. Thanks for inviting us. Wait you should at least have some tea before leaving" she said and ordered the butler.

"So sweet of you Mam. I was very much scare to come here alone" Nandu said

"We won't eat you little girl" she chuckled and saw her son approaching them.

Madhyam Sharma aka Maddy:- 25 years old. Only son of Mr & Mrs. Sharma. Highly pampered kid. Will do anything to get what he wants.

"Son meet Ms.Nandini working in our school as a teacher." She introduced her.

"Hi sir. How are you?" She forwarded the hands.

"Fine Ms. Nice to meet you beautiful" he chuckled which made Nandu a bit awkward.

After a coffee time Nandu left with a smile. Maddy was all the time drolling over the beauty infront of him.

"What's cooking in your mind son?* She asked him

"She is something different Mom! Would you believe if your son fell for her in first sight" he smirked.

"That's impossible but i guess she can do it. She is such a cute and beautiful girl son. Give some time, i will speak with her for you" she said and left.

"Nandini, such a sweet name! Soon to Mrs. Nandini Madhyam Sharma" he smiled in excitement.
