Part 6
Old bonds revived
"Ok nupz,ready or not??",Samrat says exparated at how much time nupur was taking.
"bas aur do min,"answers nupur from behind the dressing room door.She was all set but she liked to make Samrat wait.
"Jaldi karo",says Samrat which Nupur recognized as the patience breaking voice.
Not trying to press her luck any longer,she opens the door.Samrat is shocked and startled as to how sweet she was looking in a green lehnga with bursts of white.She had kept her hair open and was looking killer.
Nupur clears her throat expecting some compliments but seeing none coming her way,she asks,"kesi lag rahi hoon"
Samrat with a straightforward calm face, "Hmmm…Thik thak"
Nupur was expecting something like gorgeous ,ravishing and was astonished and ready to exclaim when she saw Samrat grinning like anything.she realized that he was pulling her leg. "you,you"
Samrat still grinning, "ok mein mein!! Ab chalo"
***
"Gunjan,all ready",Mayank says to Gunjan.
"hmm..sirf ye Gajar ke Halwe mein aur thodi chini chahiye",Gunjan says tasting a little.
Trinnnnnnnn,,…..The doorbell sounds.
"Gunjan ,Chalo jaldi !lagta he wo aagaye",Maynk says frantically.
"Jaa rahi hoon..Tum jaao mein aati hoon",Gunjan says while taking out the sugar jar.
"Thik he".As Mayank says this,Gunjan nudges him and finally he takes small steps toward the door.
What he didn't know was that he was as nervous as the two standing outside..
Mayank at last gathers enough courage and opens the door.He sees his friend samrat and embraces him.then he turns and see a most beautiful girl waiting to be introduced.
Samrat says breaking the gaze of mayank and diverting his attention towards him, "Mayank..This is nupur..Nupur , "this is mayank"
"Hi nupur,",Mayank says hurriedly and then turning to samrat befor he could further introduce nupur,"Samrat,mujhe tumse thodi baat karni he"
"ok chal",Samrat replies a little confused"
Nupur is shocked that how anybody can be so rude and smirks.

Gunjan is shown with a nervous look on her face and keep on fiddling with her dupatta and wished that she wouldn't had to welcome all the new guests.it made her so nervous.Just then she feels a hand over her eyes,or say glasses.
"Kaun he mujhe pehchano"
Gunjan is stiff for a moment .She thinks it couldn't be her.surely not.But nevertheless,she exclaims, "n-n-n-Nupur!!".Gunjan gently takes her hand off her glasses and stares wide-eyed at nupur.
"Aur ye sahi jawab",Nupur giggles.. "Accha !! tu mujhe ye bata tu yahan kab aaiye?? Kesi he tu?? Tumne mujhe bataya kyun nahi?? Wo khadoos kaun tha darwaje pe?? Aunty aiiye he kya?Tu bhi na Gunjan ,By god!!"
Gunjan smiles amused, "Nupur..tum bilkul nahi badli na..Mein bilkul theek hoon.Nahi aunty nahi aaiye he.hamara aane ka sudden plan hua. Ek interview ke liye..Aur wo khadoos mera bhai he"
Nupur is a little embarrassed.She wasn't counting on him to be her brother.She had been hearing a lot of tales form Gunjan in the school but didn't count on this.and before she could tell how sorry she was.Gunjan started telling her all about the interview excepting that fall.
Nupur gasps, "to tu wohi he"
"kaun nupur",Gunjan answers bewildered.
"jo hamare newsoffice mein interview ke liye aiiyee thi",Nupur says with a little gasp.
"No kidding..we're oing to work together,wow",Gunjan answers happily
"Aur samrat bhi"..Nupur's voice trailed off.
Gunjan's eyes flicker..
Meanwhile at the same time,..
Samrat is shocked by the behaviour of mayank and concernedly asks him, "Dude are you ok??"
"yeah fine",mayank answers "but wo pretty ladki kaun he??"
Samrat is a little startled by this type of question.Nevertheless he answers grinning,"Tumhe shayad apni aakho ka illaj karna padega, Wo aur pretty..oh please"
Mayank answers innocently, "Kyun?? Tumhari girlfriend ke bare mein aisa kehte hein??
Samrat is shocked as to what this guy was saying and then understanding what mayank thought he and nupur were, he burst into peals of laughter.If mayank had'nt put his hand over his mouth and slightly thumped him on his back, The sound of him laughing would be probably heard by Nupur.He slowly took Mayank's hand from over his mouth and between the grinning he managed to speak, "Meri girlfriend aur wo..lolz wo meri roommate he"
Mayank is very embarrassed and dosen't know what to say.In a small corner of his heart he felt relieved that she was not his girlfriend.He sheepishly says, "Sorry"
Samrat then suspiciously eyeing mayank and winking at him asks, "Wese ,tumhe usme itni dilchaspi kyun he??"
Mayank looks lifeless..All the colour drained out of his face. He himself didn't know why he was so interested in her. He was confused what to tell Samrat.then thinking about a immediate reply he happily replies bac, "Wo actually it is my right to know mere frind ke life mein kaun ladki he.."
Samrat grin, "Achha !! lawyer banne ka irada he kya??"
"Samarat",Mayank exclaims irritated
"accha baba..,Mana khush??",he says with a friendly thump on his back.
****
Gunjan, "kahi yeh wohi Samrat to nahi jo sab ladkiyonke saath flirt kata tha aur jo mujhe bahut irritating lagta tha??"
Nupur almost sympathetically, "Yups wo hi he"
Gunjan almost shrieks, "kya??, wo mera jeena haram kar dega."
"Kaun,Gunjan??",Mayank's voice answers.
Gunjan was startled and shocked to here Mayanks voce..she hastily replies, "Koi nahi mayank" and turns
Samrat sees mayank talking to a somewhat familiar girl.He sees her turning only to recognize her as the same girl who had fallen in the office.He is mesmerized by her thinking her to be so innocent and beautiful and simple.He had loved her falling into his arms and now it was such a conciedence to meet her here and that too her flat neighbor.But he was surprised to see her expression which was a shocked one.
Gunjan was turning horrified that if mayank had heard her he would be very angry.she turns and sees the same,handsome face from the office who had saved her from the fall.she felt a blush creep but then a thought stuck her.He was a boy.He was with nupur and mayank. She shivered at the thought of it
"HE IS SAMRAT"
Mayank waves his hand over her face.. a little confused and gunjan comes back to her senses.
"Uhhhmm,Gunjan..This is Samrat and Samrat this is Gunjan my sister,"He says shifting his head from one side to another.
Samrat thinks that there was something familiar about her other then the fall.Nevertheless,he says to gunjan, "Hi Gunjan"
"Hi Samrat",Gunjan replies with her head down
There is a ominious silence then.But when Nupur was there silence hah impossible.. 'Samrat you know she used to study in our class.she was the same Gunjan who studied with us in 8th class and transferred the same year.
"No way,she used to study in our class'..Samrat with a raised eyebrow.so that's why I thought she looked familiar
mayank was a little annoyed as to why Gunjan didn't tell him, "Gunjan ..Tune mujhe iske bare kyun nahi bataya.??"
Gunjan perplexed as she didn't kow what to tell mayank and what not to tell, "Haan wo"
Nupur understanding her problem, " wo wo chodo.. Chalo lets go and have a nice chat and have dinner too.please??"
All give in and says "Ok"
