Same day after dinner nd spending romantic tym wid each other, manan were sleeping peacefully cuddling each other..
It was 2 AM of midnight when nandini's sleep broke... She woke up nd sat straight on bed nd look towards manik...
Nandu:*self-thought*manik ko uthau?? Bt agar gussa hua toh??aur usne pucha toh bolungi kya???bt i want it...Utha hi deti hoon...
After small bickering wid her ownself she finally decided to wake up manik... She shake manik lightly to wake him up bt can our manik baba wake up soo easily!!!..She then histerically shake him to earn a sleepy groan...
Manik:*groan*arey yrr kon hai..let me sleep...*nd he again drown in his dreamland*
Nandini:*nodded her head in disbelief*manikkk manikkkk utho na plzz...
Manik:*with sleepy eyes*kya hai nandini... Kya hua y r u awaking me in middle of night yrr...
Nandini:*hesitatingly*manik mujhe naa plzz ice cream khani hai...
Manik:*wid wide eyes*whattt!!!itni raat ko ice cream... Nandini now i m really feeling that u r pregnant... *by now he also sit straight on bed*
Nandini:*hitting him on his shoulder*manikkk what r u saying,pagal ho kya..
Manik:toh aur kya bolu.. At middle of night u r craving for ice cream joh sirf pregnant womens hi karti hai...
Listening manik nandini looked down to her lap nd a tear fall on her palm...seeing nandini in tears manik panicked..
Manik:*panicking*nandini whats wrong baby... Kya hua hai?? Y r u crying..
Nandini didnt reply which worried manik more..
Manik:nandini say something u r worrying me... Acha f9 tumhe ice cream khana hai naa... Lets go get up..
Nandini jst wiped her tears nd got up from bed nd walked slowly towards door while manik went towards side table to fetch his car keys..
Manik:*coming nr her*should i carry you??
Nandini:nahi i wanna walk...
Manik:ok chalo atleast mera haath pakad lo stairs utarna hai...
Nandini holded manik's hand nd slowly descended stairs...
They sat in car nd hit the road... Manik was driving car while nandini was looking out of the window... Manik was again and again sparing glance to her nd was trying to figure out what exactly happened to nandini suddenly...
They reach baskin robbins ice cream parlour nd both went in..
Manik:what u wanna have???
Nandini:chocolate chips, chocolate fudge,chocolate ribbon nd chocolate mint... Bsss..
While manik jst gapped her wid wide eyes...
Manik:*after composing him*itnaa saara... I mean nandinii...itna ice cream khaogi to u will catch cold jaan...
Nandini:haan par yeh abhi k liye nai...agar kal bhi chahiye hoga toh...
Manik jst frowned on her strange behaviour bt decided not to ask her or she might again cry...
Manik:acha pehle abhi jo khana hai woh order kar de or else baaki k melt ho jaayenge.. Soo say abhi kya khana hai??
Nandini:chocloate fudge...
Manik ordered nd after getting it both went inside car as it was cold outside...
Nandini was eating cutely wid her fingers dipping in icre cream while manik was going awee on her bt simultaneously worrying abt her wierd behaviour...
Once done manik gave her his hanky to wipe her face nd again went to parlour to fetch other ice cream tubs which nandini ordered while nandini kept sitting in car..
Once manik came wid other flavours, they headed towards malhotra mansion..
On reaching home,manik made nandini sit on sofa nd went in kitchen to keep ice cream tubs in fridge nd once he came back both went to manik's bedroom...
In manik's bedroom:
Nandini was tossing on bed from last half an hour since they came back to their room while manik was jst getting concern... Not able to take more he asked nandini-
Manik:nandini kyaa baat hai.. U r behaving really wierd... Kahi pain hai... U want something...atleast say something..
Nandini:*not looking in his eyes*manik woh actually...i m having...
Manik:*waiting for her to continue*having what nandini... Say it clear na baba..

Nandini:manik...i m having my pms...

While nandini jst holded his hand nd nodded in noo...
Manik:nandini mein bss water bag leke aaya...i'll b back in few seconds... Ok??
Nandini bobbed her head nd manik went down to fetch hot water bag for her...
After getting hot water back manik came back to his room to see nandini sleeping soundly bt wid frowns on her forehead...
Manik came to her side nd cover her properly wid blanket nd then he also slipped on his side of bed...manik's one hand was under his head while other was clutching hot water bag on nandini's lower abdomen... Manik kissed nandini's crown nd whispered I LOVE YOU in her ears before slipping in his dreamland while nandini's lips curved in a smile recognising his touch nd voice even in deep sleep...
____________________________
It was 8:45 in morning bt our love birds were still sleeping as they slept late night courtesy to nandini's wierd pms craving...usually nandini is a early riser bt effects of medicines nd then her pms r jst taking toll on her routine lyf nd in addition manik's extraa care jst add laziness to her...
After half an hour,manik open his eyes only to look at angelic face of nandini.. He tuck her few hair strands behind her ears while she jst snuggled more in his touch which immediately caused a smile on manik's face...manik looked at watch on wall nd then messaged in fab5 grp that he cant come as nandini is to b taken hospital also...
After messaging fab5,manik intercom butler to send his juice nd then once kissing nandini's forehead, he slipped out of bed carefully not to disturb nandini... Butler came nd pass him his juice after which he went in washroom to get ready...
Manik came out after getting ready nd wiping his hairs wid towel...after wiping his hairs he threw his towel on couch nd went to hi wardrobe to get nandini's file... He then keep file on tea-table nd came to nandini to wake her up as it was already 10 nd nandini was having her appointment at 12:00....he sat beside her nd tuck her hair strands while waking her up sweetly...
Manik:nandini...nandini wake up...
Nandini:ummm...manik plzz naa let me sleep dont disturb..
Manik:nandini i know u r tired bt u have to go to the doctor today nd its already 10 nd abhi breakfast bhi baki hai...achaa once coming home u sleep as much u want...nandini wake up na baba...
Bt nandini didnt budged a slight as she was having high effects of medicines...manik again tried to wake her up...
Manik:nandini wake up or else i will carry u to washroom then dont blame me..
While nandini jst opened her eyes wide listening manik nd sat on bed wid jerk causing pain to her...
Nandini:ouch..
Manik:nandini whats wrong yr... Y r u again nd again stressing urself... I cant beleive u r the same most responsible nandini...
Nandini was going to say something bt when she saw watch her eyes jst grew more big..
Nandini:aaiyappa mein itna late tak kaise soo gai... Manik tumne uthaya kyu nai....aaj toh doctor ka appointment bhi hai... *whinned*aaiyappaaa...
Manik:nandini relax... Appointment ko tym hai soo abhi jaake get ready tab tak i'll ask butler to lay breakfast...
Nandini nodded nd got up from bed.. Manik tried helping her bt she strictly denied him nd walked towards washroom on her own...
Nandini reached washroom when manik called her from behind-
Manik:nandini...
Nandini:*turning to him*hmm..
Manik:do u have... I mean do u need sanitary napkins??
Nandini:*grewing her eyes big*u have??
Manik:haan shayad mukti ya aaliya k room mein hoga... I mean they used to keep some of there necessary things her too...
Nandini:*making ohh face*achaa..nahi i have,chachi ne packing k saath bheja tha...
Manik:*nodded*ok then... Tum fresh ho jaao tab tak mein tumhari files nd report arrange kar deta hoon...
Nandini went in washroom while manik went to dressing table nd applied cologne nd wear his watch nd bands nd comb his hair... After getting ready he arranged all necessary files nd reports to b taken to nandini's doctor nd get engaged in his cellphone waiting for nandini...

Nandini:nahi she she will harm u manik... Usne mujhe bhi marne ki koshish ki thi aur woh tumhe bhi... Tumne padhana she said i will lose u... Nahi manik plzz tum mujhe chachi k ghar drop kar do...
Nandini was already scared nd her periods were jst making hard for her to control her emotions while for manik,he was jst getting more nd more angry seeing nandini in such state... He thought to immediately handle the case...
Manik:nandini...listen to me... Nothing will happen... U trust me??
