Avoid mistakes if any.
After breaking one of their longest hug, Manik said holding her towel in his pinch.
Ma-come let me help you.
And without waiting for her reply he held her protectively and made her sit on the edge of the bed. Then he gently removed the towel from her wet hair and wiped it softly just the way she does to him.
After wiping her hair sufficiently, he got her comb and combed her hair very gently, removing all the knots. Nandini was feeling much better after bathing and all after all his care.
While they were busy in all this, one butler came and knocked at their door. Manik let the person in and he said politely still holding the door knob.
But-bade sahab niche dinner k liye bola rhe hai.
Ma-keh do aa rhe hai.
He bobbed his head and left from there. Soon Nandini got up and Manik bend down to pick her up but Nandini stopped him and they walked down and saw amms and Mr Malhotra on the dining table.
Manik made her sit on the chair and then sat beside her, he filled her plate with plenty amount of food which was almost blunt and sweet and then they started eating. The dinner was quiet normal and silent. Lastly amms served them payasam and then they ended the day.
Next morning Manik woke up first with his alarm and got fresh. He came down and told the butlers to prepare breakfast for everyone and then he entered the kitchen himself.
He helped the butler in making pancakes, then he told one of them to cut fruits and he made himself busy in making coffee, just the way Nandini likes.
Setting everything on the tray, he came upstairs and kept the tray on the coffee table and then drew the curtains of their room, the sun rays fell on Nandini and she shrieked in her sleep.
The light and warmth of sun made her to wake up and she slowly slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was making leaning close to her with the tray.
She smiled assuming it to be a dream but soon she heard Manik.
Ma-good morning......
Nandini smiled more, twisted her body in sleep and then said softly in her morning low tone.
Nan-good morning.
Finally she woke up completely and saw the tray again. Being confused she asked without sitting back.
Nan-what is all this?
And then she sat, as she sat there was space so Manik sat beside her folded legs and said keeping the tray at a safe distance.
Ma-your breakfast......chalo brush your teeth first and eat this.......sab kuch bahut gharam hai.
She glanced at the tray to find pancakes, fruits and coffee everything was sweet nothing spicy. She was irritated with sweet dishes now. Since the time she has been admitted to hospital she is tasting sweet or Italian dishes which are tasty but no spice in it.
Too much sweet too becomes irritating at one point and she wanted normal food, which had no blunt taste nor spicy food. Normal that they eat everyday in Malhotra mansion. Before she could say she heard Manik.
Ma-you know I have helped kaka in making all this.......toh ab tum jaldi batao k kaise bana hai.
Now that he had made efforts to all this, she didn't want to deny and break his heart. She smiled and got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face and came back wiping her face.
She sat on the bed and Manik placed the thing on her lap, she cut a morsel with the knife and fork and forwarded it to Manik who happily ate that. Then she broke a morsel for herself and bought it to her lips but stopped and asked.
Nan-hum niche dad k sath kyu nhi kha rhe hai?
Ma-dad ko thoda time hai and we are not letting you get down from this bed.......so we will serve you everything over here.
Nan-but Manik......
Ma-ssshhh......we have decided and you have to follow our instructions this time.
With that he pushed the bite in her mouth that she was holding, she started eating and he smiled at her. Soon she was done with this and Manik took the tray from her and said.
Ma-you sit here, I'll be back soon.
Nandini hhmmed and rested peacefully, Manik came back soon and that's when Nandini saw the time. Mr Malhotra will be on the table anytime soon, so she looked at Manik and said.
Nan-tumne nashta kiya?
Ma-I'll have it later.
With that he sat on the bed but Nandini stopped him and said in authoritive tone.
Nan-go Manik.......eat and come.
Ma-mei baadmei kha lunga na.
Nan-nhi abhi.......waise bhi mei shower lene jaa rhi ho......so you go.
With that she got up and removed a pair of clothes for herself and then turn to him and eyed him to leave, she entered the bathroom once he had gone downstairs and had a relaxing bath.
Downstairs Mr Malhotra asked Manik abt Nandini and he told him everything, then they were eating breakfast and Mr Malhotra called the head butler, he ordered him.
Mr m-Nandini k liye ab se roz ek naryal pani lekar aana......Aacha sa......aur fruits and dry fruits uske diet mei include hoga......thodi thodi der pe juices and health food should be given.......aur kaam k mamle mei usse pareshaan krne ki zarurat nhi hai.
The butler bobbed in yes and left from there to send one butler to get fresh coconut water for Nandini. Once they were done with breakfast Mr Malhotra asked Manik along with getting up from the dining and wearing his coat.
Mr m-tu office aa rha hai?
Ma-nhi dad......
Mr m-thik hai......dhyan rakh apna......mei Nandini se mil leta ho.
And he turned to go upstairs but Nandini was only coming down.
Nandini's dress
Seeing her Manik rushed to her, held her elbow and asked/said worriedly.
Ma-Nandini.....tum niche kyu aagai......tumhe kuch chahiye.......muje bola leti.
Nan-Manik....I am fine....so stop panicking...... aur tum office k liye ready kyu nhi hove. Go get ready.
Ma-mei office nhi ja rha ho.
Nan-kyu.....kis Khushi mei?
Ma-tumhe thik nhi hai na Isliye.
Nan-arey......
Ma-bas no arguments......
Nandini looked at Mr Malhotra and said.
Nan-dad.....?
Mr m-it's okay.......how are you feeling now?
Nan-mei thik ho dad.
Am-Nandu tune nashta kiya?
Nan-Haan amms hogaya.
Am-waise Malhotra sahab.......mei Nandu k sath lekar jaogi mangalore......uske amma aapa ka shrad hai na Isliye.
Mr m-ji zarur.
Then he placed his warm hand on her head, blessing her and then he left for office. Manik spoke then.
Ma-amms aap aaram kijiye......aur tum bhi.
With that he picked her up in bridal style and walked upstairs to their room with Nandini whisper yelling him to stop. After reaching the room he made her sit on the bed and Nandini asked him.
Nan-what's all this Manik?
Ma-nothing.
And he sat close to her but they were disturbed by the butler who entered after getting the permission. He had bought the coconut water for Nandini and seeing that Nandini asked.
Nan-yeh kya hai?
Manik took that from the butler who soon left the room and then he said giving her the coconut.
Ma-naryal pani......for you.
Nan-nhi bas......muje nhi peena......I am too full.
Ma-nhi nhi nhi nhi chalega.....
She opened her mouth to say something but Manik stuffed the straw in her mouth and told her up drink it. Nandini started sipping it and finished it. She was tired and wanted to rest that's why Manik helped her in resting.
Later at lunch, Manan with amms were having lunch and again Manik had filled her plate which didn't have normal spicy food. Seeing her plate she told him.
Nan-Manik stop......i don't want to eat this..... I am tired of sweet now.......muje spicy khana hai.
And she immediately picked up the curry bowl that's was for them but hearing "spicy" amms and Manik shouted on top of their voice unintentionally.
Ma/am-NO/NAHI.......
It was so sudden that Nandini flinched and half of the curry fell on her lap, Manik holded the bowl to snatch it but now that it was fallen he pulled it from her hand and Nandini stood up with a jerk with that warm content on her. She tried removing it off her dress saying.
Nan-shit.....
Manik too woke up immediately and cane beside her.
Ma-are you okay?
Nandini simply bobbed her head and turn to leave upstairs and get changed. Manik followed her and Nandini took a quick bath to clean herself and came out dressed up again.
They resumed their lunch where Nandini nagged to eat the curry but Manik didn't allow her. Later at dinner time Nandini told Mr Malhotra abt the thing and he explained Manik to let her eat normal spicy food and that's when Manik left her eat normal curry and rice.
2 days passed in jiffy and Nandini was feeling prefectly fine still Manik didn't allow her to work or do anything other than resting. He was with her 24 hours and did all her work. Coconut water, energy drinks and juices were given to Nandini after every 2 hours and she was fed up of it.
Anyways it was a new day and Nandini had completed her breakfast than coconut water and now was resting as Manik was with her.
Nandini's outfit.
2 hours post lunch, Nandini was resting when Manik entered the room with a glass of fresh fruits juice. He came to her and handed the glass up her and Nandini drank it as she knew that argument means waste of energy.
After she drank the juice, Manik kept the glass on the side table and came close to her, he almost fell on her, hiding his face on her throat and Nandini's fingers naturally started moving in his thick hair.
Something like this.
After a moment she spoke playfully.
Nan-yeh aacha hai......tum bimar toh muje tumhe cuddle krne ka aur mei bimar toh bhi tumhe cuddle krne ka.
Manik moved away from her, looked at her and said.
Ma-aur nhi toh kya........jaan nikal di thi tumne meri.......so you have to compensate.....aur waise bhi mei aise.
He pulled her and sticked her head on his chest and started tapping on her face like a fool, said further.
Ma-tumhe karunga....it's looks weird......
And then he made her face him and continued speaking.
Ma-so it's better you do that to me.
And he moved to stick to her but Nandini stopped him and lovingly holded his cheek with one palm.
Nan-bahane bahane bahane.......tumhe bas ek bahana chahiye to stick to me.
Manik smiled of " being caught" and Nandini moved her palm from his cheek to his neck and lightly pressed his neck and nape and said.
Nan-jaan le lungi mei tumhari......ek din.
And then she stopped pressing his neck but still her hands were around his neck and she pulled his face close to her and placed a wet kiss on his cheek, letting her lips rest on his cheek for a min or two.
Then she left his neck but cupped his biceps and pulled him closer to her to let him rest on her, with his face on her throat and collarbone.
He was snuggling in her and Nandini was caressing him.
Both were resting peacefully in each other's warmth.
So here is the update.
I know I am late but I didn't feel writing for a few days.
I know that Manik's care towards Nandini is not deep like her's with Manik but as we see Manik can wear a boxer and Nandini can give him a bath but with Nandini we can't do that....she will have to be in her inners at least so that Manik could bath him but without marriage I don't think it's possible for any girl.
I know you all are waiting for farmhouse as well but honestly I am struggling with that.....coz nobody is interested in reading the old chps and somewhere I have lost that connection with farmhouse......deleting of that story have let my motivation extremely down for that story......I need time to gather everything and get back the story.
