Chapter 12
Wedding is still going on(remember 3 hrs)
Nupur and shilpa were standing near the mandap..after 10 minutes she saw mayank coming down..he looked at bit flushed but otherwise normal..nobody could have believed that they both were up in flames 15 mintues ago..she smiled...From the corner of her eyes she saw mayank stopping to talk to one of his staff..
Suddendly he turned and looked at her straight in the eye..What she saw in them made her blush..she quickly looked down..Mayank smiled softly..
Slowly he made his way towards them..
Shilpa " arre beta acha huwa tum dono yahi pe ho.." nodding to both of them
"Kya huwa ma?" nupur asked..
"arre woh kaniya daan ka samay aane wala hain..issiliye..tum jaante ho na gunjan ne kaha tha ki tum dono uss ka kaniya daan karoge.." shilpa said
"ha maa..pata hain.." mayank replied..nupur nodded in agreement
"Acha main abhi aati ho..zaraa dekh kar aati ki khana theek se bath raha hain ki nahi.." shilpa said looking a bit worried..
"arre ma aap rukiye hum dekh kar aata ho.." mayank assured her..
"nahi beta tum dono yahi ruku..kaniya daan sa samay aane wala hain..tum dono yahi raho.." shilpa said smiling
"acha theek hain lekin app apne saath kisi ko lekar jaayiye.." nupur said firmly..she doesnt want her mom working..
"ok beta" shilpa said smiling.."kisi lejao.." looking around.."uday..mein uday ko apne saath lekar jaati ho.." she said
"NAHI" both nupur and mayank said sharply..
"kyun beta" shilpa said puzzled..
"kyunki waha jaane ke baad guest ke liye kuch khaane ko bache ga nahi, sara khana toh yeh khud khaa jayega.." mayank said irritably
" mayank, uday bhaiya itne bhi boore nahi hain" nupur defended her brother
"achaa, toh phir nahi kyun bola?"he taunted innocently..nupur blushed
"woh toh mein bas" she stammered..looking down in embarrassment
"achaa theek hain theek hain ab tum dono shoru mat ho jana" she scolded them.."mein benji ko lekar jaati ho..ab theek hain?" she asked them
Both nodded..Shilpa smiled and patted nupur's cheek before leaving them alone...
Silence
They could hear each other's breathing..they both avoided each other's eyes..smiling at the guest but never leaving each other's side..
Finally mayank cleared his throat.. " wat you did upstairs was totally unfair and cruel.." he whispered in her ears..without looking at her..
Nupur's eyes widen..suprisingly he didnt sound angry..he sounded......amused..Nupur blushed..
"tum ne shoro ki thi.." she retorted..
"yeah, but you didnt hav to take it so far.." he said gently.."i lost control" he murmured.."just like you knew i would.." he accused..
Nupur laughed softly.."no I didnt ." she said innocently..
"Nupur..." he growled..
"You were not the only one you know.." she muttered..
He turned and stared at her in complete and utter shock..his eyes wide
"What?" she questioned, blushing.
His lips slowly quirked into a wide grin..
She smiled "dont look so smug..." she pouted..
Mayank smiled tenderly at her "Nupur......
"Nupur babes tum yaha ho.." dia intrupted them..
"kya koi humme akela chordega!" mayank muttered furiously and nupur immediately gestured for him to be quiet.
"meri ek friend tumse milna chahati the..usse gunjan ka lehenga bahut hi beautiful laga...woh ussi material ki lehenga banwana chahate hain..pls mere liye yeh kar do..." dia said pleading..
Nupur smiled "ok" she said
Dia squealed "really!!,,thanks so much" quickly hugging her.."aao main tumse milwati ho.." grabbing her hand..
Nupur turned back and saw mayank talking to some of the guys from his office.
Dia introduced her to one of her model friend..she was getting married and wanted the lehenga exactly like gunjan but a different color..She tried to concerntrate on her and dia but now and then she couldnt stop glancing at mayank..she noticed that he was also having the same problem himself and was sneaking glances at her as well..
Mayank tore his eyes away from her, and looked back at the guy who was explaining something to his collegues. He groaned inwardly and looked sideways at her again. Suddenly, she looked up and straight at him, startling him with the eye contact. She smiled, and he smirked back. Her grin widened and he couldn't stop himself from returning it, which caused a pretty flush to spread across her face, as she broke eye contact to stare down shyly . She looked back up at him, and mayank couldn't resist; he winked. This time she smiled again, flushed and excused herself to greet other guests. His face took on a cocky smirk- so this was the effect he had on her!
At last the pandit anounced that it was time for kaniya daan..mayank and nupur moved forward and did the kaniya daan..nupur and gunjan had tears in their eyes..they was remembering that dad..mayank put a consoling hand on her shoulder..she looked and him and he gave a one of his tender smile which was only reserved for her..she smiled back..
Somewhere they heard a voice
"oh god..mayank sir apni biwi se kitna pyar karte hain..maine aaj pheli baar usse itna sweetly smile karte dekha hain..how romantic.."
nupur blushed..she looked up and saw mayank was also looking a bit red..she giggled softly..he really hated this kind of attention..
"what?" he asked irritably
"nothing" she said innocently..
"I should never have invited them.."he muttered
"dude?"
they both looked down and saw samraat looking at them amusedly..
"kaniya daan ho chuka..ab hum phere lele? he asked chuckling
"oh sory" nupur said..they both step down from the mandap and they took their pheres..All threw the flowers at them..meanwhile dia and annie were busy stealing samraat's shoes..After hiding the shoes they came to the mandap and joined everybody..
At last time came for bidaai..nupur and gunjan hugged each other tightly..mayank was standing by keeping his emotions controlled..shilpa was crying softly..even dia and uday had tears in their eyes..in the past years they hav became so close...
Nupur(still crying):apni di ko nahi bhoole gi naa?" she asked gunjan..
"Main app ko kaise bhool sakti ho di...app hi mere sab kuch hain..." replied gunjan who was also crying..
Nupur smiled..she turned around and looked at samraat "dekho samraat meri phool si behan ko hamesha kush rakhna.." she told him sternly.."agar usse kuch huwa toh mein......" she pointed a warning finger at him
"toh tum mujhe kacha chaba jaaogi..mujhe pata hain, college mein hi tummne bata diya tha.." joked samrat..
everyone laughed..Then shilpa hugged her..turn by turn everybody hugged her
Finally mayank came and hugged gunjan.."apna khayal rakna aur yaha aate rahena..ab tumhari shaadi ho gayi hain iska yeh matlab nahi humme bhol jaaogi..tumhare jaane ke baad mein toh akela ho jaaoga..yeh dono(pointing at shilpa and nupur) ek side ho kar meri kya haalat karege sirf mein jaanta ho.."he teased gunjan..nupur and shilpa looked annoyingly at him..
"nahi jiju, jaroor aaogi,"she smiled affectionately at him
"aakhir kisi ko refree toh ban na padega na jab tumhari aur nupur ki boxing match shoru hogi.." uday said smartly
mayank slowly fixed his death glare on uday, who suddenly looked uneasy
"sorry...mazaak kar raha tha.."he said giving him a nervous look..
Smiling samraat rubbed the side of the jaw so no one would see his amusement..he cleared his throat.."ok dude chalta ho.." hugging mayank.."arre benji mera jhoota kaha hain..?" he asked him looking around..
"arre yahi toh tha" benji pointed out..
"mujhe pata hain, lekin ab nahi hain..kaha gayi?" looking for it..Suddenly he stopped and turned to nupur.."nupur mere jhoote kaha hain..?" he asked nupur
nupur looking puzzled "arre mere paas nahi hain..mein toh uppar thi may...."she stopped and looked away blushing...she was about to blurt out that she was upstairs with mayank..she looked at him and saw his lips twitching..that jerk was laughing at her..she looked away quickly..
lucky for her nobody paid real attention..
Benji trying to sound bossy "dekho mein jaanta ho ki jhoote chupana saaliyo ka kaam..isiliye pls samraat ke jhoote waapas do" putting his hand forward..
Mayank rolled his eyes and sighed
Nupur slapped his hand away"mr ben, main samraat aur gunjan se badi ho toh main saali kahan se hoyi.." she said smiling tightly..
"ha yeh baat bhi toh hain,,toh jhoote kisne churaye.." he muttered scratching his head..
"DIA" both samraat and benji yelled..
dia rolled her eyes.."thanks for remembering me..and yes jhoote mere paas hain..lekin woh nahi milegi.." she said showing them the shoes...
RV :"babes humme zhabarzasti cheenna bhi aata hain.." he said softly..benji nodded in agreement..
"cheen ke dikhao.." challenged dia..
"soch lo babes..humse challenge karke pachtao gi" moving closer
"soch liya" dia answered moving backwwards..everybody groaned..they will take the whole night
Samraat decided to interrupt
"ek minute guys..bahut der ho chuki hain ab humme chalna chahiye..dia pls tumhe jitne paise chahiye le lo but pls jhoote de do.." he said smiling persuasively
Finally they agreed on a certain amount and samraat was given his shoes back..They all watched them go..Mayank looked at nupur..she was stil waving at the car looking very sad and worried..
Mayank(rubbing her shoulder) "dont wory nupur woh bahut kush rahegi samraat ke saath..tum toh college se hi chahati thi ki woh ek din ek hojaaye..hmm?" asking her tenderly..
"hmm.."she replied smiling a bit..
At last all the guest Left..only house members were left..the house looked empty..
