Being His Wife

Chapter Two

She drank the coffee and kept walking to-and-fro in her whole room biting her nails which clearly depicted how nervous she was. After a while, as her feet wanted some resr she kept her spectacles away and lied on the bed on her chest while her eyelids too dropped for some rest.

The sounds from her balcony couldn't wake her up for she was so tired to even battle an eye. A smile spread on her lips as the bed rocked a little and two hands started pressing her shoulders from behind.

"Manik" She whispered and turned around, just to be in his arms and sensed him smiling without opening her eyes.

"Why do you worry so much? It's just a test" He said and caressed her hair to which she smiled and snuggled closer to him for she found her warmth every time in his cuddles.

"Why do you always come by window when Pallavi Maa has allowed to be here anytime?" She said opening one of her eyes and drifting to a power nap yet again making him chuckle "Oh! I guess you have become very boring! This is just a way to rejuvenate our fading romance" As he ended, he was awarded with a smack on his leg to which he let out a giggle yet again while his hands kept caressing her hair until she slept.

He kissed her forehead as soon as he found her apparently 'senseless' for she was an avid sleeper and adjusting both of them on the same single bed in the room she owned in the 'Little Love' orphanage, he drifted to sleep with her in his arms.

Nandini's POV

The world is as silent as if it ended in the night. The sun is still resolutely below the horizon and the street is as dark as some black and white movie.

As I close my eyes, I feel a smile playing on my lips for I know the reason.

The sun was warmly welcomed into the bedroom just to wake the giant sleeper up. Giggling to his nose crunching, I swayed away the coffee mug.

Manik. The name itself frees the butterflies to dance in my stomach. He makes me feel so contend, so proud and so happy. Just like a warm yellow sun, I glow every morning with his sleepy morning wishes to 'morning, princess' messages on w******p. He's a blessing I will always be grateful about. He came in a ray of light in my dark and futile life.

Slowly the alarm goes off but fails to wake him up for I know only a caress on his hair could wake him up. Giggling at the little baby's antic, I caressed his hair while he kissed my palm in the sleep pulling my wrist over.

"Good Morning. You have an important meeting today" I swiftly placed a forehead kiss for I know how much he loves them.

"Good Morning, sunshine" Glitters are all I see and butterflies are all I feel whenever he uses such cute endearment, brightening up my day.

My heart swells with joy whenever I see him smiling. The smile which he earned working so hard, f or his family and us.
