My Little Love ❤️

Chapter 8

Nandini's pov

I can't belive this, I am a married woman, Manik and I got married about umm lets see babe 5 minutes ago hehhe, all the rituals are done.

I remember the day we got engaged and Manik kissed my forehead. I swear I have never felt like this before

When his lips touched my forehead there were sparks that flew and I couldn't even say how I felt because I was all chocked up with emotions

After our engagement we both have been the same I guess, work was priority for the two of us in this week adn I didn't mind it one bit.

We didn't talk much, I mean two days ago both of stayed home, our mehendi haldi happened.

We had been talking a lot over text, I got a good morning and a goodnight message every night along with just small talk.

When mom and dad told me that they wanted me to get married, I didn't even question it becasue I knew that they didn't want me. As much as they love me, I was not theirs and I was a burden so they wanted to hand me off

At first I thought I would end up with someone who would hurt me like umm someone or some people used but seeing and meeting Manik all my doubts were cleared. He is so nice.

"Nandini" I heard my mom

"Ma" I cried

"Shh it's okay, don't cry" she hugged me

I couldn't help but cry knowing I won't see her when I wake up

"Beta shh its not good to cry" papa said

I couldn't help but cry, I jsut couldn't stop crying, I did hear Manik talking to them in the background but I wasn't able to focus

"Papa it's okay, ill take care of her" he said

"We are giving you our princess Manik"

"And I will treat her like a queen" he siad

Did he mean that or was that just for them?

"Manik we will see you back at th house, your driver uncle is here"

"Okay ma" he said

I hugged my parents again and cabir grabbed my arm

"Oye ro mat, hum bohot maza karengai, popcorn,candy yumm" he siad mkaing me nod

"Nanu don't cry" muku said

"I am not" I whispered seeing her tear up too

"Kids come on" mumma said aka manik's mom

"Come on nandini" Manik said guiding me to his car

I sat in and he got in beside me

"Chalo uncle" he siad to the uncle driving

"Shh kita rogi" he asked wiping my tears

"I will miss them"

"I know darling but you can come back and see them every day if you want"

"But I will not see ma when I wake up"

"How about I face time them for you every morning"

"Ap esa karogai merai liye" i asked

"Han baba ab shh bilkul chup. Bohot roti ho tum" he said holding my hand

Every time in this past week I have been nervous or stressed, I unintentionally hold his hand and it works like magic.

"Nandini baba bas ho Gaya ab, you have been crying so much. Mom told me that your eyes will puff up please stop crying. Ill bring you tommorow to see them" he said

"I am not crying" I said wiping my face

"No of course not, these tears are just flowing without your permission right"

"Yes exactly"

a smile tugged at his lips, I love how he smiles, or when he chuckles its adorable.

Its weird because i am 26 and in these 26 years I have never felt this free and comfortable with someone other than my parents.

It's not like he doesn't get angry, he does. At work its bad, if things don't go right he gets upset and his anger does scare me but he makes sure he never takes it out on me or anyone who doesn't deserve it.

Being his pa is not difficult actually who am I kidding its horrible. He needs things so detailed and in a specific way but its not too bad since I have gotten used to it.

I remember when ma told me that she wants me to get married, I had said yes without asking who the guy was not because I didn't want to know, but because I was afraid of what my curiousness would get me into.

I was never this timid and shy, I have always been sensitive but not this timid. Those events that took place scared me and I don't think I could ever fully be that Nandini again but I don't regret it becasue I got mukti through those events.

"We are here" I heard Manik

I looked up and his house, well our now. Thats one thing manik has been emphasizing, everything is ours and not mine and his which I like.

"Thank you" I mumble when he opened the door for me

we walked to the door where mumma, papa, mukti and cabir were with arti ki thal. They did our arti and then I kicked the rice thing. I felt like I belonged in this house for some reason, like every time I have been here it feels like this is my house and not just my husbands

"Nandini are you okay, I mean we can do all these rasams tomorrow if you are tired" mumma asked

"No mumma I'm fine" I said giving her a small smile

"What rasam ma" manik asked

"Manikkkk that ring thing yar" cabir siad

"Ring oh right the bowl thing"

"Ya that"

"Did you guys get rings" he asked

"We can use her wedding ring" papa said

I was about to take it off and give it to them when manik shook his head

"Cabir go up to our room and open the second drawer. There is a box there bring it down" he said making me look at him confused

"Dude its not time for some games" chair said

"I don't want her taking her wedding ring off, just go na. The box has another ring for her jsut bring that"

"Oh toh esai Bol na" he jogged up and came down with a box

I could see everyone looking at us with teasing eyes but no one said anything which I was thankful for.

We sat down and mumma put the ring in the bowl of water and milk. So we had three rounds to find the ring.

The first round I found it and then the next two manik did, I saw mukti's eyes light up when manik won which is why I didn't try on the third round.

She loves manik a lot but she never expresses it to him, not since that night. I mean I didn't know her brother was manik but she always told me that after that incident she couldn't talk to her brother much.

"Even though you won, we all know nandini will rule your heart and your world" mumma said making me blush

He didn't say anything but here was a sly smile on his face.

He slid the ring on my ring finger of my right hand.

"Chal ill help you" she said taking me up to Manik's room
