people who are angry at me shud be...I make the same mistake again n again!Sorry!!

Chapter 13

Gunjan's pov

Gunjan shook her head slowly.She was getting tired.It had been a long night of work.She had filed the papers,prepared the tender and worried all night about Samrat's next move.

He had been shocked that afternoon when she ran away from him.Then he had been locked in his room for most of the time.This suited her well but as much she knew her boss he hated to lose.She knew sooner or later he would make her pay for her rejection of him.

She chewed her lip.This might have cost her job and that would mean that again Bhushan family would be in dire financial state.Nupur di might have to take up the job again.
The thought was tormenting her.But there was nothing else she could have done!
She couldnt see her the way samrat saw her-a mere passtime which would he would have fun for a while.For her a relationship meant commitment and trust but these concepts were alien to him.
How could he tell him that?
"Do you have the papers ready?" a polite voice inquired.
She looked up.Samrat was standing at the door,his head inclined in.
Swallowing her fear at being face to face with him first time after that incident she nodded.
""I am almost done."
He nodded.
talked to Bakshi today.He wants a meeting tomorrow afternoon.If the deal is finalised as I think it will be we can leave that night.""

Gunjan stared at him.She couldnt help it.It was so strange seeing Samrat so well informed,so to the point and so...distant.
"S-Samrat..""she couldnt help calling out when he turned to leave.
He turned back and she cursed herself for calling out.Why could she say to him?
"I-I am sorry Samrat." she began slowly.
His expression seem to wither a little as though the mask was falling off.It was more difficult to look at his face now.There was too much tenderness in his eyes.
Her eyes fell down.Then he spoke.
"What are you sorry for?"
She spoke to the table.
"I-we -I know how you feel but its not possible to feel the same way.There is nothing wrong with you Samrat.Its me.I-I cant think of a relationship without trust and commitment."
There was a silence.She kept on staring at the table.
"Thanks for clearing that up."
With that he left!

CHAPTER 14

PART 1

Nupur's POV

She stood infront of the mirror barely breathing.This was happening,really happening!It could still be a dream.God knows you had enough of them to last you a lifetime.
Mayank looked deeply into her eyes smiling
"I want to take you out on a date.Would you come?"
She sighed slowly.The fantasies had always been there and the dreams too.
But this was different.This time Mayank was not a figment of her wishful thinking..hopefully!She pinched herself hard to make sure nonetheless.

"Ouch!" she said loudly.
"What happened Nupur?"her mother called from the living room.
"Nothing Ma..." she said smiling.It was real..this was happening.She was going on a date really with Mayank Sharma.
Not date dinner...she thought with a blush.

She took a deep breath and looked at herself again.Dressed in a simple white kameez with cream lace and her hair parted sideway and left to fall all over her shoulders,she looked...okay.

She took a final look and stepped out of her room.She wished she didnt have to face her mother.
"So..oh ..you look nice Nupur" her mother said keeping aside the remote and looking closely at her.
Nupur smiled.
"Thanks Ma."

"Where are you going?""she asked eyeing Nupur and her glowing face.
"To meet a couple of friends from Vicky's office." she said her fingers slowly trailing through the lace counting the small buds she knew were flowers.She wished she didnt have to lie.
Why was she lying anyway?What was that guilt there?

Her mother nodded.
"Okay have fun!And make sure you dont-well do anything that will make people realise that you -well -suffer from a disease."

Nupur blanched.
The reminder made her want to cry out.She left quickly and came to stand outside the door.
Fighting panic and an attack of nerves she stood there.
The reminder was painful but true...How could she risk that with Mayank?What would he think if he came to know....

She shook her head.It wouldnt happen today.It just wouldnt.She knew there was someone up there-someone who knew every wish of her heart-who knew what this meant to her.
Nothing bad would happen today!

CHAPTER 14

PART 2

Mayank straightened his collar and sighed slowly.He hoped he had done it right.He was dressed in a maroon shirt with black pants.He didnt know what it that girls prefer their dates to wear.He never cared to find out ..until now.

Would she think its all too formal?

He shook his head to get rid of the annoying thread of doubts.Nupur had always known him as he is.Even now he will be himself and nothing more.He took out his car keys and went downstairs.His mother was sitting on the sofa watching a serial.

"Mom I wont be home for dinner."he said.

His mother nodded.
"Meeting friends."

Mayank remained silent for a moment.She had gotten right except the plural noun used but it wasnt the time to get into technicalities.He kissed her cheek and walked down to the lobby when Diya walked in and whistled loudly.

""OH HO...Romeo is all set and that too in maroon to meet his Juliet!""

Mayank grimaced.
""SHut up D'doll!"

"What was that?"

Diya giggled.Sometimes Diya had a really kiddish sense of humour.
"Why are you laughing?""Shilpa demanded.

"Because she is annoying.""Mayank barked out.
Diya spluttered over another fit of giggles.That made it official.Girls giggling were about the most annoying sound in the world.
"I am getting late." he said and walked past her.

Her voice carried to him when she said.
"Someone is impatient."

He turned back to look at her.
""One more word...and I swear..."

She bit her lips and he turned back.
""Why must I be a teenager in love?"

"Diya..."Mayank began.

"Its a song not a word.""she defended herself.

Shrugging he went out.
.................................................. ..........................

The breeze ruffling his hair as he swung out his convertible out into the road was soothing.All in all it was a beautiful night.The clouds were acting a cover but someone the moon managed to peep out.

His heart thudded.Try what he may say he was nervous.He hoped this night would be as beautiful as he anticipated.More importantly he hoped this dinner would be as Nupur wished.
He slowed his car as he reached the second lane on right.He had been surprised when Nupur had asked him to pick up from the lane.Apparently this was something her mother mustnt know.

He entered the lane and his eyes encountered her immediately.She stood at the corner end.Dressed very simply with her hair blowing slightly in the breeze she looked like an angel who had descended down on earth.For once he wished time would stand still,that he wouldnt approach her that they would go anywhere.He wanted to stay where he was staring at the slightly parted lips,the downcast eyes and...

She turned then and saw him.He almost stopped breathing when she blushed at his intent gaze and waved a little.As it was with her she was nervously fiddling with her dupatta,trembling.
He stopped the car and signalled her to get in.

She stood there.
He smiled.
"Should I get a bunch of trumpet players and red carpet?"

"Huh?"

"I guess you wouldnt come inside the car without them."

She smiled.
"Mayank you are..by god ..too much."

With that she was beside him.
.................................................. ...............................................

Mayank Sharma had always been happy to remain silent.For him the best communication is always non-verbal.But he knew that he couldnt score points today if he remained silent.

But for the life of him he didnt know what to say.Small conversation never came easy to him.It was especially difficult as his heart was churning with unfamiliar and strong emotions.Something was pulling him along to the girl seated next to him.
As he tried to understand what was happening,she spoke.

"I am sorry."
The voice was soft and sad.
That made him turn around.
""What?Why?"

"I am boring you." she said looking down.

He chuckled.
She scooted him a glare.

"Its not you Nupur.Its me.I -I suck at communication.All these while I am thinking what in the world can I say to you.""

She shook her head.
""If you cant think of saying anything to me then its my fault.Maybe there isnt anything you wish to tell me.""

She had gotten it all wrong.
"NO!There are many things I want to say.I dont think I will say them right.""

"You dont have to say anything right." she replied in a small voice.

Their eyes met then.She looked away colouring slightly.His heart responded immediately.
What could he say?
You are beautiful Nupur..so beautiful that when you are in sight everything pales in comparison.So beautiful that when I see you I wish I never have to move..so beautiful that even when a strand of you hair hides your face I want it move away immediately...
You eyes which say so much and yet nothing at all.I wish I could for once understand what they try to tell me.
Your smile which makes me feel the world just went on a whirlwind.I wish I could see it all day.

And your lips...they make me wish that I could just lean over and...

He shook himself.This isnt the way to think.She was still looking down.She still thought she was boring him.He had to make her understand.

But how?He couldnt say all that he thought.

Be yourself!Taking a deep breath,he communicated the way he did best-non-verbally.
With an effort he reached out and touched her wrist with his fingertips.She jolted up.

His fingertips sent a electric jolt within me.It was so unexpected and yet so familiar.His fingertips made smooth circles against my wrist.

Every touch sent my heart haywire.I could feel the colour rushing up my cheeks but I kept my eyes downcast.
I couldnt let him see me like this.
His fingers now traced me veins lingering right against my palm.
THUD THUD THUD!
Two of her fingers reached out and took my thumb within them.He slowly played with it tracing up and down and then he flipped it.My palm remained within his fingers as he began to slowly make himself familiar with my hand.

Houses and roads zoomed past me.I couldnt remember any.Neither could I tell you how much time past.My brain just wasnt working!Every cell within me was concentrated on my left hand which was so deftly being touched by Mayank.
He was tracing something time and again in my palm.I tried to make my brain work and understand the tracing.

M...S...
A smile crept to my face.
Mayank Sharma.

I could see his responding smile from the corner of my eye.He intertwined our fingers then and I stopped breathing.

"Nupur..""
I closed my eyes.

"Look at me please."

I turned my eyes on him.He pulled our intertwined fingers to his lips and kissed my wrist.

The moment seemed to last an eternity

Not the date,,just the drive to the date!The date and the sajan twist coming soon!!

Thats like the most amazing description of a drive to a date..i totally loved it!! absolutely!!

The inability to say it in words and the way of saying it thru actions...it was such a treat to read!!
