As soon I heard the noise, I realized our position And Manik Moved back instantly, So did I, Manik Got up from bed, Rubbed his nape, and looked Everywhere, Except me, Nervously I set my hair And clothes which got messed up, The air got awkward between us, Again!

Shit, what the hell I was even doing wallah,

But he was on top of me, So yeah that's not my fault, I gave reason to myself

What was he saying about my eyes, He has seen me, but when, and I don't remember meeting him. My eyes went to his wound, He haven't applied anything idiot.

"Woah, Did we Missed Something" Kabir Teased With a Smirk, looking at us, Maybe seeing my flushed face I turned my face to another side

Oh god! I put my both palms on my cheeks feeling hot, And I felt Manik's Gaze on me, Which I tried to ignore,

I tried.

As Soon our eyes meet, He Just moved his eyes from me, Huh As if I'm dying for his attention

"Nothing Happened we were just Running" Manik Replied and Kabir burst into laughter, and said Chuckled looking at us and making me embarrassed

These idiot cousins, why are they like this?

"Is your room a playground or what? That you both were running" Zain one of Zayn's Friends commented While Sitting on the couch royally

"It doesn't look like you were running" Haram doubted looking at both of us, I frowned at the way she was looking at us as if we have done some crime

"Guys I'm telling you Nothing happened" Manik Stated rolling his eyes at Everyone

"Yeah Manik just didn't want to apply medicine so I was just forcing him" I Replied Speaking the truth Pushing my hair at my back

"Why didn't you apply anything Manik " Haram Said And walked towards him and held his hand, Manik looked at her, Then He looked at me, why he's staring at me like this I just moved my eyes from them

"Bhai don't like to put medicine, he's scared" Kabir Spoke coming between them, I giggled seeing his actions While haram moved back looking weirdly at him

"Manik You are Scared, wow this is something new" Kaif Spoke Looking at him "He's lying I'm not scared or anything I just don't like it" Manik claimed Forcing a Smile at him

"Yeah we know it" I spoke raising my hands Sarcastically, And he made whatever face

"Bhai let's put toothpaste on it, It won't burn and Even it will cool it down" Kabir grinned proudly giving the idea

As if he had won something

"Yeah we can do it, it will be fun" Zain Spoke Getting Excited

"Really Zain Fun? Wow" Manik replied sarcastically glaring at him

"Manik just try it out" Saad spoke siding with them " Yeah maybe you felt better," Kaif Said agreeing with Everyone

"Stop it Guys let him decide What he wanna do" Fariyal Spoke Looking at Everyone "See she's only my best friend" Manik Spoke Dramatically Side hugging her Making her smile

Even I smiled at them, then my eyes went to his hand before it's get worse we should put something

"Manik, Just Apply the toothpaste only, Mama used to do it too, in our childhood too come on," I told him And before he could say I signal Kabir to get the toothpaste

I took it from Him as He got it from his washroom I Walked close to him, And Applied it Gently while blowing the air from my mouth Slowly, he hissed.

"Relax it will just burn A little then I'll be fine," I Told him looking at his face He nodded his head yes looking at me with a smile I smiled back at him

While Kabir Held his hand and made him stand in front of Ac, so his hand doesn't burn, my lips curved into a Smile Seeing them

Awww Cute brothers!

Then After some time We just Went downstairs Everyone was asking Manik about his hand And he assured them he was fine with his Beautiful Smile!

Making me feel weak on my knees!

We were chatting when the Main door opened we turn to look at the source, my eyes winded in surprise

"OH MY GOD,"'I exclaimed Loudly Seeing Eshal Entering inside with her luggage, And with her Mother.

"Nanzii, Eshalll " We both Exclaimed loudly without thinking anything Looking at Each Other, I just stroll towards her and embrace her with a tight hug, She responded with the Same intensity We both kept jumping at one place Without realizing about the others.

"I Missed you so much Eshal," I told her moving back and holding her hand

"Same here Nanzi" She replied side hugging me with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me that you are coming," I asked with a glare

"I just wanted to Surprise you Nanzi " She Clarified pulling my cheek.

Oh I forget to mention She Calls me Nanzi Normally, Even I asked her why and Her reply was She just wanted to give me a Nickname that no one can call me

"Hey Girls you can continue your gossip later please" Saad Said Forcing a Smile as he walked towards us and eyed the elders

Shit, we forgot about Everyone, I turned to look back and Their eyes were fixed on us, I didn't fail to notice Manik's intense gaze on me, a red hue spread on my cheeks, and I somehow composed myself.

"You idiot because of you my first impression got bad, in front of my in-laws" Eshal Whispered in my ear with disappointment I rolled my eyes at her

"You are behaving as if you are meeting them for the first time" I replied with a shrug of my shoulder, she give me the real look.

" Yeah I know that you are meeting them for the first time but you guys know each other" I Answered shaking my head, She made whatever face and went ahead to meet with everyone.

While I met with her Mom, Her dad passed away in an accident, "How are you, Aunty? Did you miss me?" I asked wrapping my arms around her neck, taking her in a hug!

"I'm Fine darling, I missed you a lot, and your tasty food too" she replied with a Smile caressing my Hair I have a very beautiful bond with her And yeah I do make tasty food!

Everyone exchanged their greeting with Each other, And Eshal was chatting with them as She knew them for ages, Making me chuckle, She Came and Stand beside me throwing her arm around my shoulder and pulling me closer in a side hug.

"So you are the famous Manik Malhotra," She Said Eying him, from down to the bottom, I palmed my face, and Manik looked at her Weirdly.

"Excuse me, Famous as in? He asked politely, Puzzled by her questions, as he glance at me.

"I have heard so much about you, And yes you are the way, I thought you would be I'm impressed" She confessed with a Smirk then looked at me, nodding her head in her as she approved him! I winded my eyes, and hit my palm on my head, as Manik glanced at Eshal and then at me

What the hell is she doing?!

"Thank you, But who told you about me," He asked her, Raising his brows, She looked at me With Smirk and about to answer opened her mouth, I hit her with my elbow She hissed, And looked at me I give shut up look, while I felt Manik's eyes on me all this while and I didn't even look at him

"Saad had told me about you, So I wanted to meet you, and Finally it happened I'm So Glad"

She Said looking at him with a Smile, And Manik Reciprocated the Smile,

"You know your daughter is such a beautiful soul, if I had a son I would have made her my Daughter-law- " Eshal's mom Spoke affectionately looking at me

Manik's Eyes snapped at her With a Different look hearing her, "Erm Let's go in my room" I Uttered moving my eyes from him and holding Eshal's hand

"Nandini let her rest, She must be tired You can talk to her tomorrow as much as you want" Ami Spoke showing me eyes to behave I sighed and rolled at my mom

"It's okay Aunty, I'll Sleep with her only" Eshal Replied instead of me Ami nodded her head at us then we both walked towards my bedroom, So did the Rest of them as it was almost 12 in the night.
