Chapter 2:

"School Reunion?" Tanvi repeated. Nupur nodded her head in agreement. "For god sake Nupur, this is your school reunion we're talking about. You have to go."

Nupur's face was devoid of any emotion. She didn't know what to do. She stared down at the invitation card and kept reading Mayank's name over and over again. She had two options to consider ' either go to the reunion, or sit at home and cry over the past. Whichever one she chose, it would give her nothing but pain.

"So, are you going?" Tanvi asked impatiently, staring at Nupur in anticipation. Nupur still seemed in two minds. "Goodness Nupur, this is no rocket science!"

"Tanvi, you don't understand. I'm, I'm confused." Nupur said, still lost in her own thoughts. "I mean, if I go, I'll have to face-"

"Mayank Sharma?" Tanvi completed Nupur's statement. "Nupur, you do not even know if he'll be coming or not. And even if he does, no one's asking you to make small talk with him. You simply ignore him."

"Tanu, as I said, it's easier said than done. You know what I've gone through. And despite that fact, I still haven't stopped loving him." Nupur said, still staring at the invitation card in her hand. "And besides, how is it going to matter if I go or not!"

"Nupur, it is your school reunion!" Tanvi said, practically yelling. "Oh, well, how would it matter anyway? I've given up long back in trying to put some sense into your head."

"Tanu, if you yell like this, Harsh will seriously think you've lost it." Aditya cut in, placing his arm around Tanvi's shoulder. "Why are you yelling anyway?"

Tanvi simply jerked Aditya's hand away and simply glared at Nupur. She then turned to face Aditya. "I'm not the one who's lost it. Nupur is the one who has lost it!"

Aditya looked at Tanvi, and then looked at Nupur. He again shifted his gaze back to Tanvi. "Was she crying again?"

"Worse" Tanvi stated. "She is refusing to attend her school reunion, because of that stupid jerk!"

Aditya looked at Tanvi, and then at Nupur, who looked really helpless. He looked back at Tanvi again, and began chuckling.

Tanvi saw Aditya chuckling at her and got furious. "Mr. Aditya Sehgal, what on earth is so funny?" Aditya instantly stopped. Tanvi looked really furious.

"Tanu, it's just a reunion yaar. If she doesn't want to go, why are you forcing her?" Aditya asked, looking at Tanvi.

"Adi, I'm forcing her because Nupur has totally forgotten how to enjoy life." Tanvi said, her voice a mere whisper. It was shaky, as though she were about to break down. "I care for this idiot. She can't cry over someone who simply doesn't give a damn to her." "He's a f*****g creep Nupur, nothing else!"

Nupur felt completely numb. She didn't know how to react. She wanted to speak against Tanvi and defend Mayank, but she knew, that somewhere, Tanvi was right. She couldn't keep crying over someone who never cared the slightest bit about her. She had wasted ten years of her life crying over him. Tanvi had been with her ever since she passed out school and entered college. It was time she took Tanvi's advice seriously. After all, you had to move on someday. You couldn't hold on to something that was never coming back. Nupur slowly blinked once, and without another word, she walked off from there.

Tanvi suddenly bit her lip. She turned to look at Aditya who was glaring at her. "Was that too harsh?"

In response, Aditya simply nodded his head.

--------------------------

'This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet' Nupur read this line over and over again. Tanvi was right. She knew the book by-heart by now, but each time she read it, it invoked some new emotions into her. Most of the quotes from the book seemed to indirectly have an effect on her. She instantly closed the book, and massaged her head. She thought of whatever Tanvi said earlier in the day, and sighed. Nupur slowly lay down on the sofa and stared at nothing in particular. 'Friends?' 'Friends'. This kept ringing in her head. That was the biggest mistake she ever made. Subconsciously, her thoughts drifted away to the memories, which were at once pleasant, but which now seemed like the biggest mistake ever. It all started when she entered seventh grade. Why did that year ever have to come? She didn't know. But that one day changed her life, completely.

----------------------Flashback (in seventh grade): ------------------------------------------------

She seemed to be really nervous to attend school. She had collected her results the previous day, and found out that she didn't have a single friend in her section. And for an introvert like Nupur, making new friends was next to impossible. She slowly pulled the pillow over her face, and practically yelled into it. Fortunately, it only sounded like a muffled voice to the surroundings. She was completely confused. How would her first day in seventh grade be? Would she be able to make new friends? Who was her teacher going to be? Ugh, tomorrow was going to be the worst day of her life.

---------------

She slowly walked into the school building, spotting all the known, and some unknown faces. She walked as slowly as she could. There was always a huge chaos in the school on the first day of a new term. She greeted a few friends on her way up to the class, and smiled at a few teachers whom she knew from the previous years. She finally reached her class, and stood outside it for good two minutes. She would have been excited normally, but this time she felt different. She had mixed feelings. She took a deep breath and finally found the courage to enter the classroom.

The room was already filled, with everyone choosing to sit with their friends. That was one advantage, that you weren't assigned permanent places in the first day itself. She looked through the class, and saw all the faces staring at her. She stood at the entrance, glancing towards the teacher who was only too busy scribbling something down in her register.

"May I come in ma'am?" she finally spoke, her voice shakier than ever. The teacher looked up at her with an inquiring look, her eyebrow raised.

"You're late" she said, her tone surprisingly polite and sweet. "May I know why?"

Nupur nodded her head slightly. "Actually, I am in the school choir, so got late."

The teacher simply nodded, indicating her to come inside. She stepped in, and looked around everywhere. There was not even a single seat vacant.She had to share her seat with two other girls. After a lot of adjustments,she finally sat down beside a girl. She was sweet, and ended up becoming Nupur's first friend in the class. Maybe the day wasn't all that bad either.

----------------

Few weeks passed by, and she had slowly began to get familiar with everyone in her class. Her place was changed too. She had become the best of friends with her partner. This year didn't seem all that bad either. She later realized that making new friends was fun. There was a lot more to life, than what she always thought it to be.

"I don't want anyone talking amongst themselves while the orals are being taken." The teacher announced, looking at everyone. But no one paid heed to her warning. Everyone was only too busy laughing and playing around. "You two" she pointed at two boys. Nupur slowly drew her attention to them, and her eyes remained fixed on the boy on the left. He was moving his fingers through his hair, having a bored look on his face. "I want you two to write down the roll numbers of those who are talking." The two boys nodded obediently, and walked up to the blackboard. Nupur stared at that boy for another minute, and then got back to talking to her partner.

"That fool, always pretends to be innocent in front of teachers." Kiran, her partner muttered. "He nearly got me into trouble last year."

Nupur turned to look at her friend. "What are you talking about?" "And what's his name anyway?"

"Mayank Sharma" Kiran hissed. "The whole class had been playing a game of truth or dare, and he nearly tried to put the entire blame on me."

Nupur looked amused. How could he practically be a teacher's pet, when she had definitely noticed a hint of mischief in his eyes? He had a different charm to him. His eyes were so readable; his face had a mixture of innocence and mischief. He looked really cute. How could someone actually be mad at him?

Nupur was broken out of her reverie when she felt someone tap her desk. She looked up to see who it was. It was Mayank, standing there, looking directly at her. "What's your roll number?" he asked innocently.

Nupur looked confused. Why did he want to know her roll number anyway? "Why do you want to know?"

"Don't tell him." Kiran warned from the side, nudging her in the elbow. Nupur turned to look at her, and then back at Mayank.

"I just want to know." Mayank replied, looking at Nupur sincerely. Nupur seemed to be hypnotized by his eyes. How could someone not reply to him? Nupur could feel Kiran's constant nudging, but chose to ignore it.

"20" Nupur said, still looking into his eyes.

"Thanks" he said and then walked away to the blackboard again. Nupur then slowly turned to look at Kiran, who was shaking her head.

"What is it?" Nupur asked, confused at Kiran's strange gestures. In response, Kiran simply pointed towards the board. Nupur followed her gaze, and her jaw dropped open in surprise and disbelief. Mayank stood against the blackboard, grinning at her. She noticed that he had written down her roll number on the board. So that is why he was asking.

"But..." Nupur started, looking at Kiran. Kiran simply shook her head.

"I warned you" she said. "It's entirely your call now."

Nupur looked back at Mayank. His smile had disappeared. Nupur tried to explain to him in sign language to erase her roll number, but to no avail. Mayank slowly walked up to her desk. "What?" he asked her.

"Please erase my roll number." She requested. Mayank simply shook his head. "Please?"

Mayank simply turned around and walked off towards the blackboard again. Nupur simply rested her head on the desk. She again looked up at the board, and saw Mayank again grinning at her. She looked at the blackboard, only to see that her roll number wasn't on the board anymore. His smile widened as he looked at her. Nupur looked back at him. His smile was so charming. He could really win anyone's heart with that one smile of his. He looked exceptionally cute. It was as though his smile were contagious. Nupur simply couldn't help it, and smiled back at him. In response, his smile grew wider.

The day was over, and their class was all set to leave. Nupur was waiting for Kiran to pack her bag, when she felt someone tap on her shoulder. She instantly turned around, only to see Mayank standing there, smiling at her. "What?" Nupur asked him.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"Sorry for what?" Nupur asked him.

"For writing your roll number. Hope you aren't mad at me." He said.

"I'm not. And, it's okay." Nupur said, smiling. Mayank in turn, smiled back at her sweetly.

"I'm Mayank, Mayank Sharma." He announced.

"Nupur, Nupur Bhushan." Nupur said.

"Friends?" he asked, bringing his hand out. Nupur looked at him and smiled. She brought her hand forward and shook it with his.

"Friends" she answered.

-------------------End of Flashback -----------------------------------------------

The last two words kept echoing in her head. The way they met, spoke, was all too random and nothing planned. But still, that was the best day of her life, for she became friends with Mayank Sharma. How she longed to see how he looked now, after ten years. Would he have changed, or was he the same? She was finally getting a chance to see him, after such a long time. Not everyone got a second chance. She was getting that second chance, but she was still letting it get out of her hand. No, she wouldn't. She would prove it to everyone that she was strong. She wasn't weak. Not at all.

She slowly dialed Tanvi's number. After a few rings, Tanvi finally answered it.

"Hello?" she spoke.

"Tanvi, I've decided; I'm going." Nupur said.
