Her brand of sweetness
She flicked her hair , and then again started pacing to and fro , oscillating across her room at 2 in the night .
"Nandini ...hum chauthi baar poochrahe hain ..tum hume kal raag yaman ke tivr swar sikhaoogi naa ?"
" haan ..haan .sorry woh bas ..yeh manik naa ...anyway main kal sikha doongi tumhe ...goodnight navya "
Saying that she cut off the call , although she herself had no idea what she had blabbered to navya for the past one hour of their call which made her make a mental reminder to ask navya if she had uttered something wrong , for with her anger at its zenith , it could have gone unnoticed to her .
She sat on the makeshift bed looking through the window ...
" aiyappa , where is he ...matlab ...how can he do this to me ...?"
" Nandini murthy calm down , calm down !"
" Just breathe in...breathe out ..." she spoke to herself as her eyes were drooping with sleeplessness and her brows furrowed in anger boiling like magma inside her .
" wait ...nooo he always instructs me this ...this is his method ...I won't calm down with this stupid method of an idiot for whom I' m not sleeping..Yes...i wont ..." she told herself, deep inside knowing even a syllable of it wasn't affecting her.
" aiyappa ! what should I do with him ...?" she questioned the supreme power , looking up as if a note would drop down , with a punishment for the jerk she was cursing since 2 hours ...and with all the frustration building up , she started pacing the room again.
" Nandini , I think you should put him in the dustbin like navya ..." Saying that she her mind boggled a few thoughts when she suddenly again spoke.
" nooo chiii...nandini then how will you survive ? " she said to herself , a sweet inner feeling from her memories tingling her ..
"...you literally nuzzle and kiss his neck just to breathe yourself on his exotic scent of 'Eternity' by Calvin Klein she said to herself reminiscing that chilled cucumber smell with a citrus bite to it intermingling with the outlandish aroma of lavender .
She paced the room again, well with a speed as if she was practicing to soon run a marathon, if not an Olympic. When she excitedly talked to herself " I got it , the perfect plan ...yes ! Nandini ...you should get him drunk and with that reason as cover-up , punish him until he apologizes for every mistake and the biggest being this one ...yes! This is perfect ..."
And just a split second later , her eyes became gloomy and her grin got lost in the woods " noo , your man becomes so innocent , when he gets drunk " she spoke pouting her lips , remembering his drunk behavior . " no , he becomes a baby , instead of punishing him , I'll end up snuggling myself to him "
"Aiyappa ! " she said frustratedly , banging her hand on the wall .

"Manik Malhotra today you 'll definitely have to throw a breakup party for yourself "he said to himself , parking his car in front of her house . Slowly picking up the bouquet of flowers, with perfectly arranged soft baby pink roses with just a shade darker orchids, he went into the lonely house with the spare key , holding the bouquet behind his gigantic form .
Before entering the room, he took a deep breathe
"Manik, relax , she loves you , she won't break up ...yes ! She won't "he told himself, trying to reassure himself that today wasn't that nightmare day.
"Manik Malhotra just start with your flattering, melted cheese dripping words before she catches you off guard "he gently reminded himself this, the hundredth time in the past 2 hours.
--
He entered the room , to see a dim lamp lit , and its illuminating sphere making his girl shine through the still dark morning , while she was sat leaning on the wall fiddling with her phone .
"shittt! "
Suddenly, his footsteps made noise in the ever so silent house , making her look at him .
He gave a wide smile , trying to act as if nothing had happened .
She widened her doe eyes and looked at him, he could see the anger yet they were serene , that it was impossible for him not to be held prisoner by them. She had left her long and fluid black hair loose, making them lie gently over her shoulder bones, kissing her soft skin while her errant tresses swished a little with the light early morn winds.
He was mesmerized yet again, only for her to break his trance .
" Mr. Manik Malhotra , don't you think remembering the fact that you have a girlfriend is a such burden nowadays . isn't it ? ..."
" shittt , you're gone Manik ...".he said , mentally already placing a trigger on his head .
He knew only his genuinety could save the day , for it was a special day today .
He held the bouquet in front of her, making her eyes delighted and gleam shone in them.
A silent sigh escaped his throat thinking that , there was still some way to make up now .
She looked at the bouquet, it was perfect . The perfect sync of her favorite flowers which symbolized love and harmony to her.
she slowly held the bouquet as her lips finally curled into a smile . He taking this opportunity slid his arm across her waist and gently kissed her forehead.
" I dint forget it ! ...I remember it ...just that ..." he stopped himself from saying further and spoiling the moment.
" thank you ...but wait ...where were you ...why dint you .." he shut her mouth with his hands , still holding her close .
"ohk , I'm sorry ...
I m sorry .. I m ready to apologize a million times , but please don't spoil today because of this " he said softly.
She read the note on the bouquet, while her cheeks flushed a crimson red, for it read
" here's to the two beautiful years of the many more to come,
Love you humesha,
Your monster "
"But wait , Manik ...you dint pick my call nor text me back , I m not forgiving you seriously " she said , with her nose scrunched up and her eyes squinting as if they could kill , but well , all manik was thinking was how could she look so cute even when she was angry , he literally wanted to gobble this cute bundle of joy standing in front of him .
While Nandini , although she was swayed away by the gift but her stubborn self-dint give up for she was right here , who doesn't answer their gf for past 10 hours and doesn't text back even once and then wishes 2 hours later even when he can every second day be there at the perfect midnight! she was upset and she had every right to" she thought , not looking at him , giving him her famous ignoring death glares .
" look ..I said naa sorry , I know " he apologized a few times yet again , seeing no progress and not wanting to blemish such a beautiful day , he decided to tell her the truth .
He slowly intertwined his fingers and making her look at him , he spoke " listen , I'm sorry , seriously I know you are really mad for not taking calls and you must have been hell worried " he saw her give him a agreeing look , which was a little softer with concern for him.
He continued " fine , actually I had planned a surprise for you , but it got a little ruined and in the process I got late ...but yaa I promise the other surprises are full proof , soo no delays now ,pakka " he said .
She looked at him , her insides curious for knowing the surprises ,but just play along she asked " soo what was that surprise , even I want to know ?"
" well , leave that one , please "
" tell me , I want to know "
And in a few minutes of blackmailing, she found out that it was in the car ...yes! Her ruined surprise which he dint want her to see. But she would !
She dragged him along , taking his key and opened the back seat door .
He covered his face with his palm , trying to hide the embarrassment which was in store for him in a few minutes .
He cursed himself mentally for letting her see this stupid form of his surprise, but he too knew when it came to Nandini he couldn't deny her anything.
She saw a huge box , took it out , keeping it on the car and slowly opening the box .
And yes ! what she saw was indeed a surprise , A small smile played on her lips.
" Nandini , please leave it naa ...let it be , please " he said while his face flustered with embarrassment , indeed he would be embarrassed for he was a perfectionist and for his girl he had always been that , for not a speck of uncertainty had been contained in his surprises till now and this one was a huge exception.
She was going to put her hand into the box , when he suddenly held her hand and spoke all , in one breath " listen , it doesn't even deserve another glance forgetting tasting it . I thought to make the overloaded Oreo cake for you ,the one that you love so much , I even took the same recipe as you, from Rishabh , he sent it yesterday from your cooking diary . But those cakes didn't turn out in one piece at the start , and finally after the 5th attempt they did .But then after layering it with ice-cream, That chocolate and oreo which was supposed to take only an hour ,hell ! it bloody took me 3 more hours for you know cause those oreos weren't getting stuck to the sides you know !" he said soo innocently that she wanted to kiss him there and then itself .
he continued before she could stop " and then finally when this totally disoriented cake was ready I took almost an hour to muster up the courage to pick it and place it in the cake box , so I got late " he said , his eyes looking here and there and not at all on her . by now she had suppressed a few giggles and was looking at him as she couldn't believe that he was the same guy who had never even cut a lime in his life!
She saw the cake , yes ! It was a little disoriented, the layers had got a little squished on one side and the oreo topping on the cake was uneven ,
yet it was the most beautiful and stunning cake she had ever seen .
She slowly cut a small piece from the edge and tasted it , fighting off Manik's arms which were stopping her .
It was definitely the most scrumptious and tastiest cake on the earth, she could easily breathe in his hard work of making a cake, layering the two with vanilla ice cream , then pouring chocolate with Oreos and deep freezing
. It had done it all .
With every grain of the cake she swallowed she could feel herself falling in love with him all over again.
She then slowly turned to Manik , who was angry at her for eating it . She slowly stood on her toes only to whisper into his ears "you know, it was the best cake I've ever had "he looked at her with an intensity she hadn't ever imagined existed, but it did, in his deep brown eyes .
" you know it was the soo sweet , but I know something even more sweet "she said sexily ,nuzzling his jawline ,and before Manik could comprehend , her hands were in his hair and her lips attached to his.
"For she was tasting the sweetest "
