Hey paris

When will u update ?

Nupur was faintly smiling and staring at him ever so lovingly; she could not believe her ears that mayank had just called her 'darling'! Her delight was so huge that it made her eyes twinkle with love for him; her fianc was the sweetest person on earth she thought! Soon, she was lost in her own world, vacantly staring at mayank, she was recalling the day of their engagement, her cheek flushed remembering how they had escaped all the relatives so they could spent some time alone, in a room, under the moon. Her mind kept flashing all the sweet memories she shared with him.

Suddenly, Mayank clicked his fingers in front of her to bring her back from the dreamland she was lost in. He was confused seeing her blushing. Though he knew that she had gone madly happy, because he had addressed her as 'darling'.
m/kya hua?! he smiled
n/ coming back from her thoughts hmm kuch nahin..
m/how was the dinner yesterday? he asked

Samrat had arranged a get together at his house but alas mayank cancelled his attendance at the last minute, as he was urgently required to attend a meeting. This had upset nupur but there was not much she could do about it.
n/it was fun but I wished you were there too pouting sadly par hamare liye aapke paas time kab raha. she added dramatically, faking some sobs
m/nupur I have a job and you know how dedicated I am towards it! he explained nicely
n/yes but it doesn't mean you stop socializing with your friends..
m/I meet everyone as much as I can..but work is definitely my priority!
n/work work work...when will you have fun mayank?
m/fun? he raised his eyebrow I have nupur bushan! Meaning I have "jeetha jakta" fun around me! he grinned ,content of his comic sense.
n/ahaha kya chutkula mara hai by god!mein tuhme kya joker nazar hati hun! she retorted back, irritated
Once again they were disturbed by the waiter, this time, he was there to serve them their order.
m/but seriously nupur this is only the beginning of my career ,if you don't understand it now then what should I expect in the future.. he talked, slicing his pizza
n/oh great! Now I am the spoiled brat who doesn't value her fianc career! Thanks! she was angry as she felt accused of not being understanding, and god knew how much she was being considerate when it came to compromise with or for mayank.

m/that's not what I meant he said to calm her down anyway you cant understand bec'..
n/why?? she cuts in raising her voice, the pitiable '3 cheese' pizza was being the victim of her fury

m/maybe you will understand the day you will get yourself a job! he taunted
n/mayank for your kind information, I do have a job!
m/oh come' on nupur, you can't call this 12 hours a week shift a "job"! You're a first class graduate! Any top company will offer you a post.
n/I don't want a full time job! This is not what I want to do in my life.
m/then what do you want to do? It's high time you find out!
n/I don't know! she gets angry at first , soothing down after that, taking a deep breath she repeats I don't know what I want to do mayank..
m/listen I'm not trying to put you down here but I believe you're simply wasting your time and talent! You should set a career for yourself.. Where is the spearhead young lady I know?!

n/but mayank working in a office 9 to 5 is not my cup of tea..you know this she pleaded, hoping he was aware of this see, I want to do something that excite me, something that doesn't require me to be all severe and boring..I want to do something that I love..

m/so what's stopping you from doing so..

n/she shrugged her shoulder, she had no answer to his question'

m/I don't know why but I always thought you would want to be either a journalist or an interior architect..

n/you know me more than I know myself she said in very depressed tone interior designer is something that would go fine with me, and to be honest I even tried to apply for such a post but the application form put me off, I don't think I will be up the mark

m/don't say this nupur, you are better than many others, I cant believe your under-estimating yourself like this, you're very capable..its just that someone need to boost you up before you start to shine! he truly meant what he said, he always admire nupur for her talent and competence!

n/and that someone is you!right?! few words like this from mayank would at all times make her more confident.
m/he beautifully smiled at her to reassure her of his support ok how about we leave this topic for now, and I come over Sunday to help you out with your covering letter and CV. he somehow felt bad that he brought up this issue, due to it nupur seemed very down in the humps and this was the last thing he wished for

Nupur nodded to his suggestion and they both continued with their lunch calmly. A calm, that did not last for long.

n/SUNDAY??! she shouted mayank Sunday is your birthday! she exclaimed

m/ sshhh! he hushed her, embarrassed with the odd gaze people were giving them

n/Sunday is your birthday mayank! she repeated, this time she was in control of her volume

m/toh?birthday hi to hai!waisay bhi iss baar mein kuch khaas nahin karna chata.. internally he was pleased to know she hadn't forgotten his birthday, he himself had completely forgotten!

n/uffo mayank tumhara 22^nd birthday hai!pata hai kitna important age hoti hai yeh!iss umar mein admi ki zindagi ek alag si mor leti hai!celebration toh honi hi hai by god!

m/nupur you said the exact same sentence last year for my 21st! he reminded her, smirking at her

n/by god iski to yadaash bhi itni tez hai! she muttered under her breath, he was right, she had indeed said the exact same thing ,word to word!

Little did mayank know that the previous night, during samrat's dinner gathering, the whole gang had prearranged a big surprise party for him on Sunday. Everyone was very much part of the preparations. Also they had no fear, at all, of mayank finding out because the former could hardly spend any time with the group these days.

After some time, finished with their meals, mayur left the restaurant. They parted their ways, nupur waited for a taxi while mayank headed back to his office. Unfortunately for mayank, his dear colleagues, sameer and roshni, saw him with nupur as they walked out of the pizzeria.

s/so this was why you didn't want to have lunch with us?! He asked mayank when he was close enough
m/matlab?! Confused, he wasn't aware that they saw him with nupur
r/and I was wondering how can a hunk like you not be interested in a hotness like me! pretending to be sad
s/rosh,that's because mr.serious has an eye on another bird! he winked, looking straight behind mayank
m/bird?! he frowned, looked behind and saw nupur,he understood that they must have seen him with nupur.
r/so setting hui keh abhi tak nahin?! should i help?! getting all exited to offer "love help" to her colleague.
s/aur agar setting nahin hui ho toh its ok... you can always introduce her to me! im sure we can become great friends he said in a very flirty and naughty manner
Sameer's inappropriate meaning of 'friends' made mayank's blood rose of anger. However he promptly calm down as he realised that sameer had no idea of who nupur was, so technically he can't be blamed of being inapt. Especially that is was the guy's routine to flirt with every other girl.

m/you want me to introduce her to you? he couldn't help but to use a cross tone ok! he turned and yelled nupur!! he waved her to come

Sameer quickly re-adjusted his collar and smoothed down his trouser. He was oblivious of the treacherous glares mayank was shooting at him.

n/hello she warily greeted sameer and roshni kya hai? she whispered at mayank

m/inshe milo,this is roshni he told nupur

r/hi!

m/and this is.. he said pointing at sameer

s/hi im sameer! he brought his hand forward naam to suna hoga! he said in a filmy manner

n/she politely shook his hand, enchanted with the srk style introduction naam to suna hai!wo bi mayank ke moun seh!

m/and guys meet nupur he gently slid his hand around her waist and continued meri mangetar!

Nupur started blushing red, she simply loved the way she was introduced, it was simple and effortless yet it made her feel worthy and upright.

r/what?mayank u're engaged? she was stunned

On the other hand, sameer jaw dropped down due to the disbelief and embarrassment he just went through. He was too nervous too even meet eyes with mayank; that was the most awkward situation he ever put himself in. In order to avoid further discomfiture, sameer managed his way by confronting his fellow.

s/man!tum to chupe rustan nikle!humhe dost kehte ho aur itni badi baat chupali!

r/haan mayank!not fair!

n/kya ?aap logon ko pata nahin tha! she then narrowed her eyes at mayank mayank?

Mayank pouted innocently, asking for forgiveness through his attractive eyes. However, to his astonishment, nupur didn't utter any word; on the contrary she showed him an assurance expression. She decided to deal with him later, when they would be alone.No, in reality she decided to ignore the whole thing because she knew mayank wasn't ashamed of her or anything. The only probable reason why he didn't inform his friends about her 'existence' was due to his reserved type personality. There was no other reason whatsoever. She was certain about it.

s/so babhi shaadi kab hai? he tried to fix his earlier blunder by accentuating on the 'babhi'

m/shaadi ko abhi baohot time hai! he answered instead of nupur,he found it hard to suppress his laugh after hearing 'babhi' from sameer's mouth

r/so how long have you been together for? she asked curiously

m/hmm two years..

n/no!two years and two months! she corrected him

s/toh sagai kab hui?

n/six month ago! she happily replied

r/let me see your ring! she asked nupur

The two young ladies started discussing about nupur's diamond ring, whilst sameer showed mayank he was sorry for thinking to 'flirt' with his fiance. Of course, mayank preferred to let off the matter there and then.

***

In the evening, at sharp 7 o'clock, mayank had arrived at bushan's house but decided to wait for nupur in the car. He eventually agreed to go to the pub with sameer and roshni only if nupur accompanied him. No need to state that nupur was more than willing to go along with him. Mayank horned at his arrival to let her know of his presence. He knew that if he went inside, it would only result in delaying them for no particular reasons. Slowly getting impatient, mayank took out his cell to call nupur. After few rings, she eventually answered his call

n/mayu bas arahi hun..

m/I swear nupur,agar panj minutes meh tum bahar nahin ahi to mein ghar wapas jaraha hun! he warned

n/by god mayank tum aisi hi batein karke mere time waste karoge to mein kessai jaldi ahungi! she quickly hung up, not giving him a chance to retort back.

m/what? he said staring blankly at his mobile

Mayank heaved a sigh and relaxed back in his seat. He slightly laughed at how nupur twisted his talks to her favour; she blamed him for wasting time whereas she very well knew that she was the one who was being late. Surprisingly, he wasn't annoyed at her attitude; he was rather amused by it. Or maybe he was used to it? He didn't know what was it or why was it like that; all he knew was that he didn't heartedly mind anything when it was coming from her. Of course he would always make sure to display his irritation towards her, but then again this was merely one of his old habits: he was mayank sharma after all! Since the last two years, he had become much more understanding toward nupur, he had learnt to accept and respect her with her goods and bads! He loved her just the way she was: he loved the 'nupur bushan'.

From his car, mayank was keeping an eye towards the entrance door, and checking on the time at the same time. Finally, after some time, nupur came out of her house; she was dressed exactly the same as earlier in the day, only her hairstyle was altered as this time she had left her hair out open. Although he had met her in the afternoon, seeing her again created a natural smile on his face. No matter how tired or deadbeat he was; having just a glimpse of her would help him to feel in higher spirits. Nupur was pacing up to the car, she was frowning, troubled by her long silky hair that was flying in very directions. Witnessing the scene, mayank also frowned; in his mind, he cursed the wind for troubling her like this. While opening the car's door, nupur smiled, mayank did the same. It amazed him to see how his expressions were changing simultaneously with hers.

n/hi! she hastily said as she sat in the passenger seat

m/you're late nupur!mere warning ke bawajood bhi tumnhe 15 minutes laga di aneh mein! he complained

n/by god mayank ab kya punishment doge mujhe!

m/ he smile mischievously as a thought just stroke his mind not a bad idea!

n/what?

m/you're right! you should get punished!

n/mayank please tang maat karo,chalo na!

m/shaking his head in a no saza to miligi!tabi tum sudrugi!

n/bol to aisai raheho jessey ke meine kuch bara sa crime kya ho!

m/meri dictrionary mein late hona bhi ek crime hai! he grinned

n/ab pakka maat!jaldi bol kya karna hai mujhe! she was expecting he'd challenge her with some stupid dare or ask her to praise him.

Mayank approached closer to her, pointing toward his cheek. He sweetly demanded an affectionate kiss as retribution. If this were the sort of punishment she would get, she would make sure to be late everyday thought nupur. She lovingly obliged to his command, lingering her soft lips on his skin way longer than required. As she broke apart, mayank's eyes caught hers and in next to no time they were passionately gazing at each other, not even letting a blink disturbing the instant.

Today was just another day in their life, and this was just another moment, except it were days and moments like this that they would cherish all their life.

At the pub,

s/she is over there he pointed towards the bar with her new boyfriend

Mayank had heard about roshni new boyfriend but he never got the chance to see him.

Mayur walked towards roshni when all of sudden, both screamed in chorus! 'UDAY!!!!!!!!!' they shouted.Nupur's intuition were right, uday indeed had a date tonight, and his date was none other than roshni!
