Nandini had enough of this she was fed up of his needs and mentality.  Even after all this, He was ready to be cozy with her instead of getting apologies from her. Slowly walking out of the close and booking the cab she went to her home so that she could have her alone time.

On the other end the moment Nandini went from the court Manik just looked at her disappearing  figure and slumped down in grief fof destroying his life by his own hands. But suddenly he saw some pairs of foot infront him and slowly looked up to see his friends standing infront him with  a pity look. Manik just stood and didn't face them because he clearly knew whose fault it was, "Please Dev not now. I am already not in a good state of mind  now i don't need your sympathy and bashan"

"Ohhh Manik  sorry but main isliye nahi aaya thaki tuje main bashan de sakgu. Balki i came here to warn you." Dev said dangerously coming close to manik face to face. Not matter what he always hd this protective vibe for nandini from the day he saw her, and when he got to know that She was in relationship with Manik, he wanted to tell her to not too, but he couldn't . But now when all had ended from her side then he will make sure tgat now she wont get more hurt by manik. And now the pkus point was she is his fiance now. So its his right to make her safe from the disasters.

"Warning?" Asked manik

"Oh yes.....from now just keep it in your mind that She is mine now. She herself have proposed for the marriage and i am more than happy to stay with her, and being her partner i have to even see that whether she is having any problems or not. Be it anything and now i know its you her problem and i don't want your shadow near her and as she said  i dont want to be your friend  anymore. U have destroyed your life by your own hands and make sure that nothing effects our life."

Saying this he moved away following Nandini searching for her. And here Cabir looked at manik who was already  controlling himself, "Manik...!!!"

"Cabir atleast not you" manik sighed.

"Pyaar kartha tha na Nandu se?" To which manik nodded "tho kyu usse ithne takleef di? Yesterday  you saw them right?" Manik just nodded looking down sitting  down on the floor. "And jab tu DEV and nandu ko aise nahi dekh paya tho uske baareme soch usse kaise laga hoga when you were fucking around other girls  that to behind her back,and the main part she had most of them watched too"

Thats were a tear rolled out from Manik's eyes. He just looked at cabir with guilt and regret, "i am sorry and i know sorry is not enough and now i totally  free her from me i won't go back to her lofe and fight for her. I will just stay away from them and not disturb them creating problems between them."

"Manik.... ek baat bolu ithna sab hone ke baad bhi they wouldn't want you to go away from them. As now nandini had choosed him. Just do one thing for them" explained cabir, manik just looked at him and asked him to go further, "just be yourself and make your bad habbits go and be a good person. Atleast in that way nandini would forgive you and Dev would be back to you as your buddy. Be a boy were a simple girls would  love you to be. And find someone so that even you can be happy  in your life. Just do this for yourself. And mifht be in this way you will get both of you back in your life Dev as your buddy and nandini as your friend. Think about it"

Saying cabir stood andwent away. And on the way he looked at navya who was watching him from the entry. She smiledat him and went along with him outside. Manik just thought about the words cabir said and thought about it. With determined thoughts he stood up and went away.

Nandini was sitting on her flats balcony sipping her hot coffee....She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't  saw when Dev came and sat beside her. Even after 10 mins when she didn't recognized.  He just shooked his head in disbelief and slowly  wrapped his hands around nandini scaring the shit out of her. Nandini realizing it to be Dev slapped him  making him chuckled.

"Kya Dev tum bhi dara diya muje"

"Tho or kya krtha main... kabse bell baja raha tha and jab tum khol hi nahi rahi thi tho key use karna pada jo tumne kal di thi.... and jab anadar aahi gaya tab bhi tumhe egss nahi hua ki koi tumhare baaju baita he tho or kya kartha bolo"

"Acha sorry.... vaise abhi yaha kaise aana hua?"

"Are yeh kya baat hui. When my fiance is so sad and thinking about nonsense  stuff muje anaa hi hain na? Tho dekho i came, but kya kare humari zaroorat kisiko nahi hain. Dekh li tumara pyaaaar" 

"Oh shut up Dev"

Saying both laughed. Nandini leaned towards him

"Thankyou Dev, for coming i needed you"

"I know, just forget  about him he is not worthy for it"

Nandini just nodded as no and said, "nahi dev he is....bus its that i want him to be a boy where evegurl would love him for being manik and not Maik Malhotra,  and i so wish ki uski adaate badale and voh kisise sacha pyaar kare...."

Dev wondered how good she is not knowing what to say he just pulled her towards him hugging her sideways.

Nandini just hugged him and slept.
Dev was just stroking her hairs slowly  and patting her head and when realized that she slept off he just picked her up and made her lay down on the bed and came out of the room. He looked around the living room and started with clearing the house the first he ever did that for himself and for someone too. After that he went to the kitchen and started looking for something so that he could cook for them.

"Chalo beta start hoja... i hope nandu ko pasand aay. Usne abh tak mere haat ka kuch khaya nahi hain. I hope she likes them."

Saying to himself he started his work....while engrossing himself in it he didn't  se when nandini xame and was adoring him. With a cute smile she came and hugged him from back making him gasp. But calming  he turned around and looked at her to see her already looking at him.

"Why are you so cute?" Dev blushed listening to it and nandini's smiled widened.  Dev cleared himself and again turned towards the stove and completed his last touch up. Nandini just stood at side looking at him munching cookies. After seeing the cooking is finished she served with the help of Dev, gossiping and went towards her bedroom and sat on the bed

Both where eating when all of a sudden,  nandini sat straight infront of him and asked, "Dev what will you do when Manik will come infront us all settled  being a gentle man and ask for firgiveness?"

Dev picked the slate and kept at side of the bed table and forwarded  his hands asking fir her yo which she moved towards her nervously. Whatever  happens she still was a shy girl who hesitates while going towards it. But even she knows that when she is comfortable enough her shynes wont be seen.

Settling  between him wrapping his hands around her waist pulled herself back to him and entwined his fingers, "Nandini.... u know i know manik a lot and how he became like this and why he is behaving like this. And Whatever  happens he will always be my buddy and i am waiting for the time when he will come to me and ask for forgiveness  Honestly  i will forgive him. Because  here i am with you thats why i am angry on him."

"I am sorry Dev, because of me you have to"

"No nandini dont. I know it wasnt fair for you on this part and the reaction from you is justified. But what if you agai fill those same emotions back and if you feel that you want to gi back to him?" Dev asked with a nervous  tone because after knowing about them he had with heart accepted her and he had this small insecurity in him. Nandini sensed it and looked at her and tightened his hold on his palms.

"Dev...i wont say that i love you but i know that i really like you. Why do you think i was ready to give us a chance and why do you think i was ohk with the intimacy i shared with you. I have mentally  accepted you Dev and physically  too. Normally  everyone would think that why i was like this 1 don bhi nahi hua i broke up with manik. And now i am with you. Kithne log mere piche yeh bolenge ki ek ko choda and dusre kisi or ke saat and honestly saying i wont mind that too. I am happy with you and i don't want Manik in my life as my partnee. Ha shayad i will forgive him if he becomes a gentleman and move forward in his life i dont need him Dev i am already to be with you. So please"

Dev looked at her with a sile and slowly  leaned down and took her lips in a soulfull kiss an nandini readily gave in. She have mentally and physically  moved on with and no matter what people would say she would not restrict herself.  Dev turned her towards him so that she wont feel any pain whil tilting herself through  kissing and rolled on the bed stilling kissing her hovering over her. Due to shortage of breath they broke the kiss and looked at each other with a smile. She smiled widely and snacking her arms around her neck and pecked his lips to which he deepen the kiss without her backing out. Tracing her waist curves he slid his hands under her t-shirt which send shiver diwn her spine and sensing it he kissed her more hungrily and roamed his hands all around her waist feeling her.

Breaking the kiss he dipped his face in her neck giving butterfly kisses all around her neck and suddenly  bite on her nale earning a loud moan from Her making him understand her weak spot. Licking the spot he moved down towards her breast. Kissed it above her dress and in return she just got hold of his hair and moaned in pleasure.  The pleasurable moans were just adding his fir and with in seconds  he just removed her top and kissed her cleavage. She just looked at him and with full pulled him and kissed him again. This tym his hands went down her  waist and slowly  tracing her inserted his hands inside her pant and panty touching her bare. She shivered with the touch deepening the kiss.

Slowly  Tracing her folds and rubbing it. The feeling was new to her when manik was with her she always felt that he was pleasuring fir himself and was not for her. But here the way he was making her feel heaven was overwhelming her and unknowingly a tear drop fell. When Dev was kissing her he fet the tear and stopped kissing her and looked at and seeing her crying. He panicked and was going to remove his hands when nandini held and nodded no.

"Nandini i am really sorry if you dont want this. I was blind in my desire that i couldn't sense your uncomfortableness please i am sorry dont cry" saying he removed those tears from her eyes. To which she smiled with twars and pecked his lips, "i cried because i was feeling  overwhelmed.  I felt love in our moments Dev, and this was not felt with manik so...." hiccupped

Dev chuckled  knowing and calming himseld and looked at her and without  saying anything  he in a jerk inserted his finger in her clit making her jerk in pleasure and started fingering her looking at her.she was just holding  his hairs in her grip and in other the bedsheet. She was literally wringling in his arms feeling the pleasure and it was a sight worth to see for Dev, so without  stopping  he inserted one more finger and hardly fucked her by fingers and with in secs she cumed on his hands. And she fell back on the bed breathing heavily.

Dev smiled widely and leaning more towards her ears whispered, "i think my baby liked being fingered and does she need more?" Winked at her but instead of shying she pulled him by his collor and whispered,  "well daddy......your baby is in heaven she wont mind if she is been eaten. You seee" saying he winked at her and Dev for a moment  gkt shocked listening to the answer.

Nandini laughed out loud seeing his face but got shut by his kiss.

Nandini smiled cutely and looked at him and took his phone and opened the phone to see Manik and his girl in the screen lovk seeing it she traced and blessed them in her mind.

"Well its fine take the spare key and go manofy her. Its not her its your baby who is throwing tantrums so go make her happy " said patting his back and moved but stopped in middle listening to Dev, "Is Manik Loyal to you?"
