hi guys!!

this one is written especially for piya di, as its her b'day on the 16th
Happy Birthday psd!!!
All my life I wanted one thing and one thing alone, to my parents to encourage me, but I guess that was asking too much of them.
"Mom Dad I got straight As!" I would come in very excited, which soon died when I heard a "OK" for a response.
"Dad Mom I got selected student of the month" "Whatever…".
"Mom Dad I am the valedictorian for my class" and all I got was a "nice" that wasn't so nice.
"Dad Mom I got a full scholarship to the college of my dreams" and alas the response was nothing! It continued to be a nothing when I moved into the most amazing and affordable apartment by myself. It stayed a nothing even when I started handling my own expenses. All I ever got was nothing!
I remember days I use to cry to myself wondering why I couldn't do anything to please my parents, thinking of what I could do so I could hear my parents say they were proud of me. Always getting these kind of responses I started to think that maybe I wasn't good enough, maybe whatever I did wasn't right. Never satisfied by myself I tended to be very self-critical. This included never thinking I did anything good enough, wearing clothes that didn't do justice to my figure, or just not bothering to appreciate the compliments I got. Whenever someone told me that I did a good job on a project I would respond with a "ok" or a "whatever" making people think that I was stuck up.
So it was nothing new when my project partner, Mayank told me that I did an amazing job with our project. When I replied as usual with a "whatever" he surprised me.
"No seriously, your research is mind-blowing! This will ensure our A in this project."
"Sure" I replied in sarcastic way.
"Nupur I am not kidding, this is completely outstanding."
And everyday he would fight with me on how good I was doing. Day by day I felt better about myself only because of Mayank. I started opening up to him, actually talking to him, so did he. We talked about anything and everything. I didn't realize when I started smiling, laughing and being happy. We did almost everything together, from studying to eating, and I loved all the time I spent with him. One day we were sitting in the cafeteria as usual, it was a normal day except it wasn't.
"Mayank, what did you get for question number 16 on page 65? I am having trouble answering it." I waited for a reply, I looked up after not getting one. He was staring at me. Weirdly.
"Mayank? What's wrong?"
"Nothing Nupur."
"No I'm sure there is, you're acting weird today." I knew he was trying to hide something. "Tell me please, Mayank, what's up?"
"I have to tell you something. I think I'm in love." Did Mayank just say he was in love??
"What?"
"Yes! I'm in love! I can't believe it!"
"Neither can I! Who?" I could see that he was hesitant. "Come on, you can tell me!"
"Nupur, I'm in love," he paused, he was still hesitant. "with you."
"WHAT??!!" I couldn't understand, had he gone crazy?
"Nupur, I love every moment I spend with you, you are always on my mind, whatever I do I wonder if you will like it or not, I can't bear to see tears in your eyes or a frown on your face. All I want to do is be with you, protect you, adore you, if this isn't love Nupur, what is?"
"I'm sorry Mayank, but I don't love you." I knew I was about to cry so I walked off before he could see that. I went home and sobbed the whole day. He called me, texted me, IMed me but I didn't reply. Finally he came to my house. Mom and Dad weren't home, and as always they forgot to lock the door, so he just marched in and saw me crying. I could see that he was hurt because he had hurt me.
"Nupur, please don't cry. I didn't know you will be hurt by what I said, if I did I wouldn't have said it in the first place. Forget everything I said today, we can still be friends. Whatever I said today, will not come in between us, I can't afford to lose a friend like you. I am so sorry Nupur" Guilt was all over his face.
"No Mayank," The truth was that I couldn't afford to lose to him! He was the one person who actually knew me and appreciated me. The one person I liked to spend time with, I could not lose him, I would not lose him. "You don't need to be sorry. You didn't say anything wrong, it's just me! I'm the problem! I'm always the bad one. The one at fault."
"You are wrong Nupur. You could never be at fault, you're too good for that." Simultaneously he wiped my tears. "Can we please be normal? Like today didn't happen?"
"Are you sure Mayank?"
"Yes"
"Well then we can always try." With that a smile made its way to his face, seeing him smile made me smile too.
"Thanks so much Nupur!" He hugged me out of impulse, it wasn't a passionate hug, just a friendly one, a normal one.
Days passed and we were still pretty much the same, except I had been trying not to give Mayank a hard time. I was feeling guilty and something else that I couldn't exactly keep my finger on. It was our last of day of exam, I was very relieved that they were finally over. That day I came home to find Mom and Dad laughing and talking to someone.
"Nupur, you're home!" Mom came and hugged me.
"Come sit, we were just talking to your friend." I saw Mayank smiling with me my dad.
"Mayank, you? Here?" How was Mayank here? Exams were over, so he wouldn't be here to ask me about some topic he wasn't sure on. Besides he could call me, why did he come home?
"Hey Nupur, you forgot this." He said this and reached for his pocket and took out my chain.
"Thanks Mayank, I was searching for it."
"I knew that's why I came here to give it to you. You forgot this in the cafeteria. Anyways I'll leave now."
"At least stay for dinner, Mayank." Mom asked him.
"No thanks aunty, Ma must be waiting for me."
"Ok then, next time maybe." Dad sighed.
"Sure uncle, good night uncle, good night aunty. Bye Nupur." Saying so he left.
"You've got a nice friend there Nupur." Dad said to me
"Nice boy, has a great sense of humor too! How come you never told us about him?" Mom asked
"I never got to." I replied
"Oh well, we're proud of you. You certainly have a great choice in friends." Dad complimented me.
"We sure are!" Mom agreed.
And suddenly I felt on the top of the world. For the first time ever, Mom and Dad had said that they were proud of me. It was the happiest day of my life! And it was because of Mayank! Yes! He brought all this to my life. He made me laugh, he made me happy. That moment I realized what was the other feeling that I was feeling, it was love. I loved Mayank! Why wouldn't I? He was the one who made everything good in my life. God, I loved Mayank!
"Mom Dad I think I love him." My parents smiled.
"We couldn't have chosen a better boy for you. Go tell him that" My dad smiled. I rushed out of my house. I ran till I found Mayank. He was walking slowly, head down looking at the side walk he was walking on. "Mayank!" I called him. "Mayank!"
He turned around and saw me. I ran to him. He stood there with a puzzled look on his face.
"Mayank," I couldn't speak properly due to all the running I had done. "I have to tell you something."
"What?" He questioned in a blank tone.
"I think I'm in love," I paused to breath, "with you."
The most wonderful, blissful, heavenly smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Really Nupur?" He asked.
"With all my being Mayank. I always felt this feeling for you, but I could never figure out what it was. Today when for the first time my parents told me they were proud of me, I figured out that I was in love with you all along! You, Mayank, are the person who surprised me, who stuck with me, who said that I was doing a good job, who told me that he was proud of me, who made me happy. I was so dumb to not realize this before! Will you forgive me Mayank? Do you still love me?" After finishing my monologue I looked at him. He looked weird. I thought that I was too late that I had lost him.
And then he hugged me, taking me by surprise again. "Obviously I do! I could never do anything but love you." And I felt a smile coming to my face and getting bigger by the second. Once again Mayank had made me smile. It was the happiest day of my life indeed.
Today is giving that day a strong competition though. Again my parents told me that they are proud of me, this time for choosing Mayank as my life partner. I'm use to them saying that often now, but it never loses it's charm. And whenever I hear those words I thank Mayank, its only because of him that I can hear my parents say that they are proud of me. It is exactly three years to the day I told Mayank I loved him, and today I'm getting married to him. I agree with my parents, I'm proud of myself for choosing Mayank as my life partner.
that's all! hope u liked it
