Nandini's POV

The bell rang again! I groaned and covered myself with the blanket. But no. It kept ringing again and again. Ugh. Who the hell is this? I turned to Manik only to see him sleeping peacefully, rather carelessly with his mouth hung open.

Idiot!

Having no other option I got up grumpily and walked downstairs towards the door. Well we were still at the farmhouse and it had been almost four days. I opened the door ready to shout at whoever disturbed my sleep but before that two people ran in.

Any guesses?

"Nan-niniiii!"

"Woof! Woof!"

At first I got startled but then I looked up to see Cabir smiling and shaking his head. I grinned at him and hugged the two precious of my life.

"I missed you sho much!" Nandini pouted, like complaining about it. But on the other hand Alex was too happy to see me as he couldn't stop licking my face and jumping in my arms.

"I missed my princess too!" I said but she frowned making a face.

"No! You ale lying!" She accused and I smiled pulling her closer.

"And why do you think like that?" I asked as she played with the strands of my hair still pouting. I wonder if anyone could be so cute, so innocent.

"Betause you wele not at home fol sho many days!" She complained and instantly I felt guilty for doing this to her. I then looked at Cabir bhai and realised he had been standing on the door only.

"Bhai come inside no! Why are you still standing there!" We moved inside and sat on the couch with Nandini on my lap and Alex on my side snuggling into me.

"Nandini I'm sorry! I tried to keep them occupied but then she started crying today and I couldn't help it!" He made a helpless face looking at Nandini.

"Bhai it's okay! You don't need to apologise! And besides I too feel guilty for being so selfish and thinking only about myself!" I voiced out my thoughts brushing away the baby hair which were now disturbing my baby.

"Who said you are being selfish Nandini! Spending a little time with someone you love and when that someone is your husband, who craved for your love past two years, it's not called selfish Nandini! Infact right now Manik needs you and only you!" He said and I smiled at him.

"Nan-nini whele ish the Monshtel?" She asked looking at me and just before I could answer her question we all heard him.

"Nandini!" Manik groaned rubbing his eyes and walking down the stairs. His hair were all disheveled and his face was scrunched up. He still didn't notice the people who were present there.

"Monshtel!" Nandini frowned at him and that's when his eyes went wide open. He looked at us and rubbed his eyes, twice but the scenario was still the same.

"Tell me this is a bad dream!" He said and I glared at him whereas Bhai chuckled. He came and touched Nandini's hair and then whined.

"Why? I mean why? These two villains in my story are always ready to bring the hero down!" He cribbed and sat on the other side. Then opening his eyes he glared at Bhai.

"You brought them here right?" He narrowed his eyes and Bhai raised his hands.

"I tried! But I couldn't help it when she started crying to meet her Nan-nini! I can't see my daughter crying!" He said and Manik dropped his head back in defeat. Just then Nandini got down from my lap and climbed on his.

"Monshtel why did you take away my Nan-nini?" She poked his cheek and Manik stuck out his tongue at her.

"Because she is mine!" He said and Nandini frowned.

"No she ish mine!"

"Mine!

"Nan-nini ish mine!"

"She is mine!"

"Okay enough you two! I am nobody's! I am only Alex's!" I teased them hugging Alex closer who was sniffing me. In an instant Nandini climbed down and ran to me hugging me by my stomach.

"Ofcourse how could I forget the villain which I had only introduced in my life!" I heard Manik murmur but I ignored him.

"Nan-nini when will you come back?" She asked innocently with a sad face and as much as I wanted to say now I couldn't as Manik needed me right now.

"She will come soon baby!" Cabir bhai said picking her up in his arms and she looked at me as I nodded at her.

"But why can't she come with ush?" She asked and Bhai sighed. I really wanted her to be happy.

"She is coming with you now!" We looked at Manik in surprise as he said this. Although he declared that we were going back but still he wasn't happy. He gave me a weak smile before turning to Nandini who still didn't look happy.

"You ale not coming?" She asked and he chuckled.

"I am coming too princess!" He said and she clapped her hands in excitement. I looked at Bhai and he blinked his eyes.

"Manik you don't need to do this! Navya and I will make her understand!" Bhai said and Manik smiled at him.

"It's okay Cabir! She is small and besides she is happy!" He said with a faint smile.

"Da-da!" Nandini called Bhai and he looked at her. She leaned down and whispered something in his ears. In return Bhai too whispered something in her ears.

"What's going on?" I asked suspiciously and both looked at me.

"Nan-nini you stay hele with Monshtel! He ish sad! I am a big girl now! I will not tlouble Da-da I plomise!" She pinched her throat and we looked at her amused. Manik looked at Bhai and he smirked.

"You owe me bro!" He said and Manik grinned.

"A big time!" I chuckled looking at the two idiots and then walked towards Nandini. I kissed her cheek and hugged her.

"You will come soon light?" She asked innocently and I smiled at her.

"Very soon!" Manik answered on my behalf and pulled her cheeks in affection. After they left Manik pulled me to our room and pushed me on the bed. He hovered on me and putting his all weight on me closed his eyes.

"Manik! What are you doing?" I asked trying to push him away.

"Rose let me sleep!" He clipped his tongue snuggling more into me and I sighed wrapping my hands around him. After 10 minutes when I couldn't sleep I tried to get up but failed.

"Rose!" He cribbed and I was surprised.

"You aren't sleeping?" I asked and he sighed.

"No!" He replied and again I tried to push him away but this time I was successful. Only for a few seconds. As he again rolled over brushing his lips on mine making my breath hitch. We stared in each others eyes seeing the same desire.

"Manik! Why do you get so annoyed seeing me with Nandini or Alex?" I asked and he looked at me in disbelief.

"Way to ruin my mood!" He said and I pursed my lips to stop myself from laughing seeing his irritated face.

"Say no!" I said and he sighed resting his head on mine. I caressed his cheek and he snuggled more in my hand.

"Because you seem to forget me when you are with them! You are so beautiful, so pure, so innocent that anyone can love you so easily! But this, your love, I want it all by myself! I don't want to share you! Not even with our own babies!" He said huskily and I chuckled at the last part. He opened his eyes and stared at me like I was a dream.

"I never had imagined that my life would be so beautiful! It feels like a dream! A dream that would never exist once I wake up!" He confessed and I pulled him down holding his shirt and pecked his lips.

"Dreams are not what you see in your sleep, dreams are things which do not let you sleep!" I said and he continued staring at me.

"Like you don't let me sleep!" He smirked and I slapped his arms knowing his double meaning talks. He laughed loudly rolling off of me and laying beisde me.

"Manik! Didn't you ever feel the need of a father?" I asked staring at the ceiling. It was like we were on the same level but his pain was much more than mine. Because mine had left even before I could understand what family meant and his never cared. He was a real monster!

"You know Rose as a child I never imagined that all of the real monsters in the world would be humans!" He said lost in his thoughts. I looked at him and there was no pain on his face.

"But after I met him I knew they exist! He made me believe that not necessarily we all need a father, if a father like him exists! I don't need one Rose and I never craved for one!" He turned towards me after completing and I smiled at him. Next I knew I was in his arms secured tightly.

"Manik! We need to get up! We can't possibly keep laying here all day!" I mumbled and he tightened his hold.

"Why not! We can! I don't mind at all!" He replied and I smirked inwardly. Placing my free hand on his chest, I slowly let it roam down on his abs and he stiffened.

"Rose!" He groaned and I smirked. Still I didn't stop and slipped my hand under his tshirt now roaming it on his bare abs. He caught my hand stopping it and I pursed my lips.

"I know what you're trying to do!" He said hoarsely and I shrugged innocently.

"What did I do?" I asked innocently and his eyes darkened. He pulled me over me and riding my top a little up, put his hands on my now bare waist making me gasp. He drew circles there making me shudder as I gulped.

"Ma-Manik!" I bit my lip unconsciously to stop myself from moaning but it had a reverse effect on him. His grip tightened and I could feel his turn on.

"Stop biting your lip!" He growled and I stared at him with the same intensity. Leaning down I placed a chaste kiss on his jawline and his breathing accelerated, same as mine.

"I hope you know what you're starting!" He said hoarsely with his eyes closed. To make him believe I moved a little above and sucked his mole which was right above his lips. That was the last straw as he pinned me under him and captured my lips in his.

But just then a phone rang disturbing us but Manik seemed to ignore it as he continued kissing me. Still when the phone didn't stop ringing I pushed him and he groaned in annoyance.

"Manik it's Navya!" I said looking at the caller id.

"Now what does she want!" He said irritated and I rolled my eyes picking up the call. I sat up adjusting my dress and put the phone on my ear.

"Hello! Navya!" I said but there was no voice from the other side. And to top it Manik too sat up and pressed himself on me from behind kissing my neck distracting me.

"Hello?" I said again trying to push Manik away but he didn't budge.

"Hello Nan-nini!" Came the voice and Manik dropped his head on my shoulder in defeat making me giggle.

"Hello princess!" I replied.

"I jush wanted to say I lobe you!" She said so cutely that I felt like eating her up.

"Aww I love you too my princess!" I said and she giggled from the other side.

"I love you three!" Manik said a little loudly from behind making her giggle more before the line went dead.

"Manik you know I love her so muchh!" I said sighing and he hummed pulling the straps down and kissing my bare shoulder. I closed my eyes when he placed kisses on my bare back but before he could go any further I turned around and pushed him getting up.

"I have to take a bath!" I laughed running in the bathroom as I heard his shout behind.

"Rose! You don't love me!" He complained and I peeked out from the door.

"Is it? I was going to ask you to join me but now as you realised I don't love you, I shouldn't!" I said shrugging and he sprang up from the bed.

"You know I was joking!" He said sheepishly trying to get in but I didn't let him. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"You realise that I'm way stronger than you?" He said and I quickly tried closing the door but he pushed it barging inside making me squeal. I tried running out but he pulled me to him and locked the door.

"Now Mrs. Malhotra!" His hot breath fanned on my neck and I bit my lip.

"What do you think Mr. Malhotra!" I replied in the same tone and he picked me up the next second walking in the shower.
