Being His Wife

Chapter Three

Manik sneakily entered his mansion when he could feel his right ear burning all of a sudden "Ouuch! Maa"

"Why do you always forget informing me?" The tycoon who owned the whole empire with just his stern face could never do anything against his family, which included her.

"Sorry Maa!" He tried to put his tongue out in order to play out the perfect puppy but inwardly earned a smack from his mother, Nyonika Malhotra who walked away to the living room, not before saying "Apologies granted but only because of Nandu!"

He ruffled his own hair and went to his room, smiling goofily.

After a while.

"Mom..! Your son is home" Manik shouted as he entered his mansion.

"Oh my baby! Worked so hard, no? " She kissed his forehead while he smiled and nodded in a yes that they cracked the deal.

"Congratulations Son" his father, Yashvardhan Malhotra came and hugged him.

"Besides. I have something important to tell you all" He looked at his parent's smiling faces and thought it to be the best time to talk."Just speak it, my son" Yash came and Nyonika looked confused.

"Dad, let me have dinner first..Very hungry!” He said caressing his tummy. His parents laughed and served him dinner.

"Now speak!." Nyonika asked when the trio sat to relax. Mukti Malhotra,his 22 year old adorable sister joined them "Oho! Some sort of a gossip?"

"Yes, little princess! Come, sit here!” Nyonika asked Mukti to sit beside her."Mom, Dad! I wish to propose Nandini for marriage.I am already 25 and I want to bring her in this mansion as soon as possible! " He closed his eyes and uttered fast.

The trio looked at him, his mother noticed the sweat beads forming on his forehead despite of the air conditioned room. “So desperate?” His father smacked him a little to which he kept looking downstairs.

Nyonika walked to him and cupped his cheek “Who asked you not to? Run and propose her right away!”

He smiled and blew flying kisses to all of them and walked towards the orphanage where Nandini was a part of reminiscing their one of the school memories.

Flashback.

" Hey!" A class 10 Nandini walked towards the bench where a Class 12 Manik was sitting and kissed his cheeks from back.

Manik smiled and made her sit beside her. "Hey Love"

"Dont call me that.." Nandini made a cute angry pout.

"Why?" He kept the book beside him and came closer.

"Because you still didn’t eat!” Saying so, she entered a bread in his mouth while he smiled while finishing that.

"Already loving you, wifey!” He said teasingly.

"Manik" She pressed her hand on his chest and blushed. he took the hand and kissed it." I will become capable Nandini..One day for sure..And we will get married for sure" He promised.

------------

"And now its time to fulfil my promise, Love" He smiled as he drove towards her orphanage.
