The words unconsciously came out of my mouth in whispers.
Manik- I love you too, Shona
And he tightened his grip around my waist. I released a gasp and looked into his eyes. I loved the names he used to give to me. All sweet names, Shona was one of them which had no other meaning than his love.
Manik- And what about break-up? Why did you ask that silly thing when you know we are married?
He laughed like a child making me laugh too.
Nandini- Because I had nothing worse than that in my mind. Because I wanted you to call me but you didn't. Because I was tired of my loneliness. I am trapped in my work. I want to be with you, be with our parents, our family and not all alone like I have been living. If ever I had known that they would have me transferred away from my home, I wouldn't have taken the job.
I was angry.
"Bhaiya, kahan jana hai?"the bus conductor interrupted our conversation.
He gave him the exact fare and said "S.P.A.C.E Academy"
My eyes widened. It was our graduation place where we met for the first time and the love cupid attacked us. Since then we were together.
Nandini- Wow. You really surprised me.
I said with excitement.
Manik- Hmm.. just wanted to relive our sweet memories again.
He said trying to tuck my locks behind my ears as they were covering my eyes due to the wind and not allowing him to have a full view of my face.
After a long journey, we reached our destination and got down from the bus. He moved a few steps ahead of me, turned back to me and stretched his arm.
Nandini- What about your PDA rules?
I chuckled.
Manik- Sometimes I feel like rebuilding my rules.
He grinned.
Nandini- Ok. Then...
I held his hand and rolled myself against his arm and arched my back as soon as I halted, his eyes fixed on me clearly telling how happy he was to be with me. He pulled me back to my normal position not leaving my hand, this time holding my finger and making me twirl around him. I laughed out of joy. I never knew he was so romantic. He stopped me and kissed me on my forehead and we started walking to catch a toto vehicle to tour around the city.
Manik- You are so cheerful, childish and full of excitement. Even a small thing can excite you...
Nandini- ...and that is what you love in me. Isn't it?
I said cutting him the middle of his sentence. He nodded in admittance.
He told the driver to take us to an address which was unknown to me. I didn't ask him any questions because I loved surprises. Maybe it was a new restaurant where we would have our lunch or maybe he wanted me to meet his friends here.
We stopped in front of a very beautiful house after he gave instructions to the driver about the directions. The house had awesome outer appearance. It did not seem to be a very big house but it had everything that I would wish my house to have.
Nandini- Whose house is this?
I enquired.
Manik- My friend's. I told him I would be coming so he gave me the keys. He works with me and that is why you don't know him.
He said unlocking the door. And when the door opened, my jaws dropped looking at its interior decorations. I went inside leaving him behind at the door. Every tiny design caught my attention. I touched the walls, the paintings on the wall, the wind chime and my little heart danced to its music. I heard the door close.
Manik- You like it?
He mumbled. I turned around, moved closer to him, held his hand and nodded in awe.
Nandini- I love it. I want something like this for our house. The same decoration. Everything is my favourite here.
He was smiling all the way when I spoke the words.
Manik- So, why don't you explore the whole house? I'm sure you will love the bedroom design.
Nandini- Sure
I said as I opened the door to the bedroom. The room was beautiful with our wedding pictures on the walls. Wait. Our wedding pictures? I turned to the shelves, it had beautiful photo frames with pictures of our first date, first movie and there was a signboard with our names written in a formal font on it. My joy knew no bounds. I turned around just to collide with his towering frame and get wrapped up in his arms. I screamed in joy.
Nandini- It's our house. Our home sweet home.
I shouted in excitement.
Manik- And your birthday gift in which I was busy these days. There were no meetings and no official work.
He laughed in happiness and gave me a gentle peck on my cheek.
I stood up on my tip toes and placed a warm kiss on his lips and rubbed my thumb gently against his soft lips. He released me from his arms and started taking forward steps. With every forward step of his I took a backward until I realised I fell on the bed behind me.
Nandini- W-what?
I stuttered not taking my eyes off him.
Manik- A day with me. I told you.
He replied in a husky voice and gave me a gentle shove on the bed. He was now on top of me. I could feel the heat in the air. He brought his mouth to my neck, nibbled on my earlobe and I could not resist the moan. He left a trail of kisses on my neck. I gasped. My body quivered with the pleasure he was giving me. He slowly reached my lips where mine met with his. His fingers ran up and down my back while his tongue played with mine. It was the most sensual kiss we ever had. It told me how much he had missed me. My eyes were closed as I was busy feeling his love but my mind was smiling at the thought that I had the whole day with him.
