*******************

Overgrown rose bushes had found their way through the windows of the castle bedroom and there were roses and leaves lying all over the room. On the bed, lay a beautiful princess, Nupur , who was wearing a beautiful gown like this.

Her beautiful curly hair was spread over the soft pillow and her diamond studded crown was set on top of her head. She was in a deep enchanted sleep because she was cursed by a wicked fairy and she had been sleeping for about 100 years. And then there were footsteps of someone coming into the room. A handsome prince, wearing this costume

walked into the room and was enchanted by the beauty of the sleeping princess. He walked towards the bed, sat down on it and......he bent down to kiss her delicate lips..Princess Nupur opened her eyes and saw the handsome prince who had woken her from her cursed sleep..

Suddenly the bedside alarm began to ring "Trrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiigggggggggggg" and Nupur woke from her bed with a start. She looked around for her prince and saw that she was in her apartment bedroom with her sister lying beside her. Gunjan, who also woke up by the alarm asked "Kya hua di..?". Nupur smiled and said "Oh..!Woh sapna tha..!!" and then she turned to Gunjan and began to explain about her dream.

************************************

Nupur was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for herself and Gunjan. Gunjan was having a bath at that time. As Nupur was cutting the bread loaf for making sandwiches, she heard someone ringing the calling bell. Nupur exclaimed "Ab subah subah kaun aagaya disturb karne..?!" and left the kitchen and walked towards the main door. She opened the door and saw a round faced guy who stood smiling at the door. He said, "Goodmorning...I live in this flat next to yours, at No.33..(shows her the door next to hers) I guess you are an Indian..!" Nupur said happily, "Haan..Kya tum bhi hindustaani ho..?" He said smiling, "Haan, main hoon Benjy.." Nupur suddenly thought "I think I have heard this name before.." and said smiling "Oh Hii...Main Nupur..Waise main kya kar sakti hoon tumhare liye..Any help?" Benjy said, "Actually, me and my friend have shifted to this apartment only yesterday..Woh kya hain na, we have opened a new coffee shop at the nearby lane and so we thought this apartment would be convenient for us..(smiles) By the way you should visit our cafe- Cafe Metro..." Nupur now understood where she had heard his name before. She thought "Acha..Toh yeh hain woh Benjy aur Samrat jisne Cafe Metro open ki..Kal Gunjan inke baare mein baat kar rahi thi..Bechari Gunjan!!Ab kya chahiye in logon ko..?" Benjy interrupted her thoughts, "Well, could you lend us some sugar for making tea..? We forgot to buy sugar while we were shopping yesterday.." and then added swiftly, "Only if you don't mind haan.." Nupur thought "Ab aayega mazaa..Donon ko aisi sabak sikhaaoongi ki zindagi bhar yaad rakhenge.." She smiled sweetly and said "Sirf sugar hi kyun..Main tum logon ko chaai hi banaa deti hoon..Tum pehli baar mere ghar aaye ho..Ek kaam karo..Tum jaake Samrat ko bhi bulaalo..I will make tea for both of you..Its my pleasure.." Benjy was really happy and said "Ok then.." and turned towards his door, but stopped and turned back again to say "Par maine kab kaha ki mere dosth ka naam Samrat hain..?" But Nupur had realized her mistake and she replied immediately ,"Tumne hi toh kaha tha, thodi der pehle..?!" Benjy thought for sometime, said "Oh..Ok" and opened his door..

Nupur was super excited and she ran to her kitchen..She quickly boiled some water and prepared the tea for them, she added milk and mixed well. Then she started executing the major part of her plan. She took the packet of dish washing powder and put some of it in the tea. She added some sugar and thought "Sugar chahiye na, tum logon ko ?, teek hain, thoda aur daal deti hoon". Again she put some more sugar and stirred it well. She announced happily, " The stomach- washing tea is ready!! ". Just then she heard the calling bell and so she went and opened the door. Benjy and Samrat were standing there with smiling faces and Samrat said 'Hello' to Nupur.. Nupur smiled widely and said "Come inside, please sit", and she made them sit on the sofa in the living room. They sat down and she went to the kitchen and brought their tea and some biscuits in a tray. She poured tea for each of them in the cups and said, "Come on guys, have your tea." Both of them took their tea and a biscuit. Samrat said looking around the home, "Tumhare ghar ka interior decoration kaafi acha hain.." and munched his biscuit. Nupur said "Oh..Thank you.." and thought "Chai toh peele kaminey...!!" and smiled. Benjy was happily munching his biscuit and he took a sip of tea and said, "Really nice tea yaar, par kuch zyaada hi meetha hain" and smiled. Nupur said "Haan, mujhe toh more sugar waala tea hi pasand hain.." and thought "Peele peele..aur peele mere yaar..nahin 'yaar' nahin 'Dushmann'..!!" and smiled to him. Samrat said sipping his tea "yeah..even I like more sugar like this. Thank you Nupur.."

Like that, they had their tea and biscuits and thanked Nupur and went back to their home. Nupur clapped her hands together as soon as she closed the door after them, "Thank you bhagwaan...!! Ab dekhti hoon ki woh donon aaj cafe kaise kholta hain..Ghar se baahar nikle tab na.." and laughed loudly. Gunjan who came out of her room, heard her laugh and asked, "Kis baat ki khushi hain di..? Tum itni zor se kyun hans rahi ho..? " and then she looked at the door and asked "Koi aaya tha kya..?" Nupur giggled loudly and ran towards Gunjan excitedly and said, "Haan haan..Aaya tha na..Humare dushmann!!" and started laughing again. Gunjan was surprised and she asked "Kya..?!!Kya hogaya hain tumhe di..?" Nupur said "Come on my little sister..I will explain to you everything."

************************************

Nupur reached her office and she walked towards her Managing Director's cabin. When she reached his cabin door, she knocked and asked "May I come in, Sir..?". When she was asked to get inside she opened the door and walked in. Mr. William Jacob was the M.D of the W.J Advertizing Agency in which Nupur had got her new job as an Art Director. When she greeted him 'Goodmorning', he said, "Good Morning Miss. Bhushan..Take your seat.." As she took her seat, he said, "So you say that you have completed your 6 months internship in another Ad-film Agency as a creative personnel..?!" Nupur answered, "Yes, Sir. And I have worked as an assistant to art director as well during my internship." Mr. Jacob smiled to her and said, "Okay Miss. Bhushan, you have been appointed as an Art Director in our Creative Department. There are also other art directors and copywriters in our Creative department and you all have to work under your head, that is our Creative Director. " Now you will have to go and meet him and he will give you other instructions...His cabin is in the second floor..Nupur stood up and said "Thank you sir..." and left his cabin..

She walked towards the lift in the ground floor and pressed the button. The door opened and she stepped in and pressed the No. 2 button and waited. As the lift door was being shut, the door began to open once again and some one stepped inside. Nupur looked up and felt as if she was going to faint. The man had the same face as the prince, whom she saw in her dream that morning. He didn't notice Nupur who was staring at him wide-eyed, as he turned and pressed the No.3 button on the lift wall. Nupur stared at the back of his head and thought, blinking her eyes, "Did I actually see what I saw just now..? Or did I just imagine it..?" She tilted her head sideways and tried to have a better look of his face. But she could just see only a little of his side face as he was standing in front of her. But suddenly she felt "Arre Nupur, yeh tu kya kar rahi hain..? Behave yourself..!!". She stood straight and looked downwards, and thought again about the prince who saved her life in the dream. She didn't notice it, when door opened at the second floor. The man turned towards her and asked, "Do you have to get down at the second floor..?" .Nupur didn't hear him and he began to grow impatient as he had to reach the third floor immediately. He again asked her, this time with a louder voice, "Excuse me Miss, you have to get down here or what..?" Nupur was snapped out her day dream and looked at his face again. A smile appeared on her face when she saw her 'Prince' standing in front her and she mildly asked "Huh..?" He began to grow really angry and he shouted at her, "DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR..?" Nupur suddenly came to her senses and looked up at the floor indicator on the lift and read '2'. She replied "Yes!!" with a shock and looked at the man standing before her with an angry face. He shouted again, "THEN PLEASE GET DOWN.!!" Nupur scowled at him and said patiently"Look Mister, There is no need to shout..I am not deaf..!!" and then shook her head angrily and walked out of the lift saying "Na jaane kahan kahan se aa jaate hain..Sadoo kahika..!!". He stared at her unbelievably as she walked away.

She reached in front of the door with the Name board "MAYANK SHARMA - CREATIVE DIRECTOR". She knocked and there was no answer. So she decided to wait for him and sat down on a chair beside the door.

*******************************************

Gunjan's cafe was as usual filled with customers. The Cafe Metro had still not opened, and Gunjan couldn't suppress a laugh as she thought about Samrat's and Benjy's condition after drinking "Nupur's special stomach washing tea". But soon she began to feel a little bad for them, as the day passed.

Meanwhile at Flat No. 33, Lakeview Apartments, Samrat was knocking the bathroom door loudly. He was saying desperately, "Oye Benjy, jaldi baahar aaja..I can't control yaar.." He could hear Benjy shouting from inside, "Abhi aaya..ek minute aur..Pata nahin woh Nupur ki bachi humein kya milaake diya uss chai mein..!!" Samrat grabbed his stomach and said with a tired voice "Haan yaar..Na jaane usse humse kya dushmani hain.." then thought for sometime and said "Shaayad woh paagal hain..!!" Benjy opened the door and sighed heavily "Shaayad nahin..Bilkul paagal hain..Mujhe toh aisa hi lagta hain.." Samrat pushed Benjy aside and went inside the washroom and closed the door. Benjy said "Oh God!! Ab aur kitni baar bathroom jaana padega..?!" and walked towards the sofa and sat down.

*******************************************

After sometime, Nupur heard foot steps coming towards her and she looked up and saw that man again who came towards the cabin. She looked at him fiercely as he passed her. He saw her glaring at him and he glared back. But Nupur was shocked to see him opening the cabin door and walk inside. Nupur stood up and and thought "Hey bhagwaan, kahin yeh Mayank Sharma toh nahin..!! Ab kya karoon main..??!" and bit her lip.
