A Mrs. Like Her

Chapter Three

It's been three months to their marriage and everything is beautiful except his father's strictness, but she doesn't mind. Navya is now four months pregnant and Manik is busy in his office leaving a bored Nandini behind. He hardly spends time with her but she understands as he make sure that they sleep not without a heart warming cuddle.

It was around 11:30 pm! Nandini was talking to someone with all smiles and brights while Manik was busy on his i-pad thinking of something about their industry. He we inside the quilt resting his back on the headrest waiting for Nandini to come.

Nandini said thanks and cut the call and entered the room and sat beside him. She nudged him when he smiled and kept the i-pad back on the bedside table and asked for her. She happily gave in and rested her head on his shoulder while he caressed her back and hairs.

"Manik! I wanted to talk to you over something" She stated and he hummed.

"Manik! I want to continue my medical job..My former hospital which I left for marriage has called me personally and asked for a re-take..So I was thinking ki.." She was cut by him "No" And he left her and stood up, walking off the bed to set his hairs and wear another tee.

"Manik! What No? I want to do" She pleaded from the bed making him sigh "Nandini..No"

"Manik? Why?" She really wanted Manik to support her.

"Nandini..What's the need of a job? Main hu na? I am not jobless! I earn crores" He said and started combing his hairs when she interrupted "But Manik! This is my dream! I want to be independent"

"You said you are not? You are independent! Your husband is quite a successful man and I do give you tons to spend without asking any question! Because I want you to be independent" He justified, in his own way.

"No! This is not independence! I want to be Nandini! Not Manik Malhotra's wife" She was totally right on her thing.

"What? Nandini! Get this job thing out of your head! Papa won't agree" He knew how Raj treated Navya after she secretly got into a job. He didn't want her to face the same.

"That's why I want you to talk to him! It's my life Manik..And you are my husband! Please understand! I want to" She tried to be calm, but knew she would fail very soon.

"Nandini..No! Papa won't agree! That's it" Manik denied completely and got into the bed.

"That means you won't talk to him?" She asked calmly yet anger was stuck on her tongue.

"No" He denied completely making her very angry.

She wiped her tears "Fine! Mr. Coward Malhotra! Don't" She shouted making him look at her.

"What? Coward?" Manik asked while she ignored him completely.

"Fine! Don't talk to me again" He too shouted this time and moved further while she took her pillow and snatched the quilt and got off the room to sleep at the next immediate vacant room making him sigh.

"Who will make her understand the consequences" He murmured and slept while a few tears got off from his eyes and Nandini too slept as anger took over her emotions.
