Part 6-
Mayank had soon started enjoying gunjans company a lot. They would be at gunjans or at mayanks place reading a book or discussing the latest gossips. For mayank it was as though someone was teaching him how to smile again. Slowly as he stayed with gunjan, he started to enjoy life as it is and without nupur. and soon a few weeks later a time came when he dint think of nupur even once. The thought was exhilarating. It felt real good. When it had been nearly 2 months since they hadn't talked to each other. Mayank had to go to delhi with his mom. His daadi was not well. He kept in touch with dia samrat and gunjan. When nupur called him, he hadn't taken her call. He dint want to feel the same way for her again. It was better they stayed away from each other.
After 1 week when he came to Mumbai, he went to gunjans place as he was getting really bored. He hadn't gone to college that day. as soon as he went into her room. She looked at him and said-
'mayank cant you control yourself!'
mayank- what? i.. I don't understand?
Gunjan- what if nupur had got pregnant?
Mayank- what.. pregnant.. I don't understand.. what are you talking about?
Gunjan- exactly what the whole college is talking about!
Mayank- what are they talking about?
He sudden with a cold drench swallowing him whole.
Gunjan- that you and nupur.. you know did it!!??!!
Mayank- what? Noo'
Gunjan- are you sure?
She asked with a sudden disdain!
Mayank- ya obviously gunjan. Wouldn't I know if ive done it with her?
Gunjan had a look of utter surprise on her face. And her expression suddenly changed to a worried look. And she said-
'that means nupur lied??'
mayank- what??
Gunjan quickly took her cell from the bedside table and opened the inbox and showed mayank one of the messages. It said-
Dear gunjan, yes me n mynk hav had s*x wid each oder.. im finlly ahead of u in sumthng.. hw does dt feel hun?
-nupur
As he had read the message, mayank had for one minute felt like he was hallucinating. Why did nupur write this? When that was so not true.
Gunjan- and I was not the only person to whom she messaged it. She messaged it to many people. And the whole college is talking about it now. People are even saying that you got nupur pregnant and when you heard that shes pregnant you ran away to hide in delhi!
Mayank- why? I mean why would nupur do something like this?
Gunjan was silent for a moment then she spoke she had a tone of utmost disgust.
'you know what I think.. I think nupur wants to be popular and known! Maybe she thought if she spread something like this. Everybody would know her. And she would become famous.'
As she said this, it suddenly hit mayank that gunjan was right. She wanted to be popular. But one thing was for sure nupur had crossed the line this time.
Nupur had not only disgraced her own name, but had also added a black mark to his record with her wishes to be popular.
He quickly got up from gunjans bed and he walked away brigading the constant calls of gunjan.
He walked to his home with the words of gunjan drumming in his ears. As soon as he reached his place. He banged the door open and he ran upstairs. As soon as he reached his room he went in and locked the door behind him. How could she do this to him?
Were his only thoughts. He had felt cheated and betrayed by the one gal he had loved. He sat down on his bed, slowly a tear trickled down his cheek. He got up and he went and got the phone, he dialed her number then he stopped and he thought to himself not now. Ill confront her in college tomorrow.
He lay on his bed trying his best to concentrate on the notes in his hand. But no avail. He tried to sleep but he couldn't get any. What mayank did not know was nupur was sitting in her room going through that and more. It had been 3 days since nupur had eaten anything. Her hunger had gone. She sat there in a corner of her room her face hidden in her hands. As she cried thinking of who it could have been who had spread all this. She felt cold despair clenching her. She felt it hard to breath, as she thought of all the things that she had gone through in the past few days. People started whistling whenever she passed by them. In class all the guys would go around her and ask her if they could have a night with her thinking if she had given it once she would give more. But with no benefit. Just yesterday a guy had forced his way into nupurs house and had try to force her when she had been alone. But at the right time akhil had come back from practice and had stopped him. Since then nupur had not had the strength to face anyone. She would stay in a lonely corner of her room. She had tried calling mayank not one but many times but he just wouldn't pick up.
It was so unfair. She couldn't help but cry, cry and cry again. That was all that she did, she would cry then sleep. And she would feed all the food given to her to bruno so that atleast the food was finished and mama didn't suspect of something being wrong. She craved for mayank to come and comfort her.
That night when mayank had gone into the balcony to get his track pants for sleep, he had seen nupur sitting with her back to him.
He thought to himself- ill never forgive her for this.
And he had gone to bed with a dreamless sleep.
Meanwhile nupur who had been drenched in sweat and tears had no sleep that night. If you looked at nupur, you would say she doesn't look like herself she had loads of dark circles under her eyes. The tears had washed off any liveliness that was left in her face, her skin had become very pale, and she had thinned like anything.
She felt so alone. Dia and samrat weren't there around. Dia believed nupur that she hadn't spread this, but samrat believed that nupur had spread all this. He dint even let her talk to anvita when she called. he would say shes not around or something.
The next day at college, as soon as mayank had entered people had started whispering on his back, which made him fee very awkward. He tried his best to mute their voices and look for nupur but he couldn't. she was nowhere to be seen. That day when he went to his class, he saw nupur with her head down.
People around her teasing her. and he thought to himself- this woman deserves it!
In between the class he did not look at nupur. after class nupur was the 1st one to leave the class. She was headed to the ladies washroom when mayank caught hold of her hand and dragged her into an empty classroom.
As soon as nupur saw mayank, the relief on her face was noticeable. She sighed and said to him-
'mayank thank god-'
mayank- thank god tum ab meri zindagi mein nahi ho. I mean tumhaari problem kya hai hun>?
Nupur- mayank main.. matlab
Mayank- I mean after everything I did for you, you were like my sister, still you spread something as cheap like that?
Nupur- mayank tum mujhe galat samj rahe ho. I haven't spread anything like that. Seriously mayank believe me. I would never spread something like that.. seriously mayank.. believe me
As she said she started crying madly. But mayank was in no mood for crying. He wanted an explanation from her not sobbings. He tightly held her face in his hand and he shouted at her-
'SHUT UP GOD DAMNED. JUST SHUT UP. STOP CREATING A SCENE FOR GODS SAKE.'
This comment of his stopped nupurs crying. She looked at him in disbelief. Why dint he believe her?
'thank you so much. Now tell me why are you so attention hungry?'
mayank asked her with his pitch slightly lower than usual.
Which made nupur feel the creeps. She got really scared. She was slightly sobbing now as she said- mayank look maine aise kuch spread nahi kiya hai.. tumhe koi galat fehmi hui-
--WHACK'
He slapped her hard on her face. And then he turned and he walked out of the room leaving nupur in the room itself. He dint even look back to see her.
Her head hit the board behind her and she who had not had anything for the last 4 days, fainted due to the loss of blood.
The whole day passed but mayank did nt see her even in one class. He wondered where she was! But then he thought-
She must be bunking to show herself to be cool. He thought and he put his attention back to his notes. At the end of the day he left with gunjan who dropped him home. As he went back home, he quietly studied his notes unaware of the fact that nupur was still lying in the same room, unconscious and bleeding to death.
