PART-3
I hurried to downstairs , as i was getting late for office -this was my daily routine coz it was always hard for me to get up on time , evn when alarm is ringing around...i was gng to leave when mom called me
Mom : nupur !!
Nupur : jii ma
Mom : aaj office ja rahi hai ?
Nupur : haan ma , bas aaj jaana zaroori hai , phir mein 2 months ke leave le rahe hoon
my mom looked at me shocked
Mom : arnt to quitting ur job ??
this actually came as a shock to me ..''quitiing my job !!...why ??'' i exclaimed
''u are gonna get married , and tujhe aapne in-laws se yeh sabke baare mein poochna hoga''..she told me
i was not ready to listen a single word ahead , i left the place ..leaving my mother pissed off.
my mom was always excited with all this marriage thing going on..and she didnt want any hurdles to come my way but still sometimes i was not given any choice ..and this makes me blow-off
all the while to office i was thinking about quitting my job ..this was not easy for me , the place where i got my stand , the place which helped me build my reputation , coz of which i culd help my famiily financially ...it gave me so much and now leaving the job , jst coz i was getting married !!! mayank too goes to office , evn aunty works as HOD in university , so why cant i ??..jst the fact , that i was gonna be DAUGHTER-IN-LAW of that family ...
i went to office ..after sometime , i was approached by Dia -my best friend ...she understnds me really well and she was the one to assure me that ARRANGE MARRIAGES DO WORK.
Dia : kya hua ?..why are u so upset ?
Nupur : ma askd me to quit the job !
Dia : kya ?
Nupur : mera bhi yehi expression tha , ma said that i ws gonna get married toh i have to go by wat my in-laws say.
Dia : hmm..tune mayank se baat ke
Nupur : are u crazy !!..mein usse kya baat karungii ..
Dia : nupur ..stop being a child , tu usse aapni job ke baare mein baat kar sakti hai
Nupur : par agar usne manna kar diya aur meinne usse baat ke , yeh baat ghar mein pata chal gayi , toh problem ho sakti hai
Dia : yeh bhi toh ho sakta ahi , woh tujhe manna na kare and he evn doesnt tell abt this talks
Nupur :hmm...par mere pass usska number nahin hai
Dia : kal usne tujhe call kiya tha na ...!
Nupur : yeah...hoga mere paas, let me check !
I checked my call-list and found his number..with much resistance i dialled his number , as the ring was going , i was sweating ..i was loosing out of words...and suddenly someone picked up the phone
Mayank : hello
Nupur : hey..Nupur here
Maynak : haan ..bolo
Nupur : tum busy toh nahin ho
Mayank : nahin kuch khass nahin , tumhe koi baat karni thi
Nupur : hmm..woh..actually mujhe tumse kuch poochna tha
Maynak : haan bolo
he sounded as if he was tied up with work..and i was fumbling with words ..gossh this is so tough
Nupur : do u mind , if i continue with my job after marriage
there was silence for a minute and i left all hopes , i decided to write down my resignation letter
Mayank : but why wuld i mind it ?..
as soon as he siad this..a wide smile appeared on my face !!,..such a sigh of relief !!
Nupur : thank u ...thanx a tonn
Mayank : there is nothng to say thanx for !!..
Nupur : okkies..bye
I kept the phone down and Dia was standing with i-know-all look..
Dia : dekha , he is so understanding , he'll defo keep u happy
yeah , he was - i took a deep breathe , i was happy that he respected my opinion and allowed me to continue my job ! he was a nice guy and now i started respecting him
i went home and told abt job to everyone ...everyone were elated but my Dad was the happiest person after that , he had a sense of satisfaction that his decision abt my life-partner was not wrong !!...
I was finally gng to get engaged to Mayank ...hmmm...a different ffeeling was engulfing me as i was putting my accessories on - the start of new relationship !!!...
i was dressed in dark brown sharara and mayank was wearing black sherwani , he was looking hot ! all the time , we were silent and when we tried to speak , it was jst an intro !..
there i got to meet Mayank's kid-brother , Samrat - he jst arrived from Australia on that very day , he was indeed cool one -jst opposite to mayank ...our intro was quite cool
Samrat : hii..i am Samrat , naam toh suna he hoga
as hhe said this , i looked at him and mayank shrugged his shoulders
Nupur : Rahul of Dill toh pagal hai !!
Mayank looked at me shocked and samrat smiled
Samrat : cool bhabi ..humare aachi jamegii
''Bhabi''..a new relation , but a nice feeling ,
all the while we chatted about movies and mayank was definately getting bored out there , his expressions could tell it
Mayank's POV
As sson as Nupur entered the hall , i culdnt take my eyes off her , she was looking gorgeous , but she was nervous too , i culd tell it easily as she was continously fiddling with her duppata . All the while we were next to each other but we hardly spoke , but there was defo a different feeling now . I recalled the moment when she called me regarding job ..i was actually surprised when she called me but i was impressed that she was self-made woman and wanted to keep her job on with my consent ...
my attention was drifted to samrat and nupur , they both were continously yapping about movie ..and specially New-York , they dissected that movie to pieces in 20 minutes and i actually got bored
but one thing which attracted me was Nupur - she was so interested in these stuff , i culd easily make out that she was a day-dreamer and now going for ARRANGE MARRIAGE, there must be something which made her take that decision and i promised at heart that ''I AM NEVER GONNA MAKE HER REPENT ON HER DECISION ''
********************
i am down with fever , so if there are any flaws in the update plz forgive me
and cuming to romance blossoming between mayank-nupur , it will take time coz they have got into arrange marriage and it takes time to get comfortable with one another
PS : plz use ''like'' tab 😳
