Chapter 1

Nupur was in love with this city, madly in love. She loved the noise, the pace, even the polluted air. When she had left this city to stay in Baroda, she had missed it along with her friends. But now no more thinking about it she was back in MUMBAI and loving every minute of it. She wanted to go out in the city and just walk through the crowds; she had come back from Baroda after 5 years staying there with her parents.

Nupur was born and brought in Mumbai by her parents, she was an only child. Her parents were still in Baroda and she had come back as her posting had happened in Mumbai. Her dad had not liked it in the first place only that she will have to stay in Mumbai alone. He had lined up all kind of accidents and scenarios in his diary after reading news papers. But she and her mom had convinced him that if something bad was going to happen to her, it might happen in Baroda also.

So finally her dad gave in and started giving instructions to her, which she had listened to…ALMOST. And anyways she had also pointed out that she was not going to stay alone in Mumbai. Teary eyed her parents had come to drop her off to Baroda station, looking at them even she had started crying but not in front of them. Once inside the train she had cried a lot, she will miss them too. Especially her mom who was her first best friend. Her mom was the first best friend she ever had and always will be, she could tell everything to her.

So now she was doing her unpacking in her room, she had to join her office from Monday and its Friday. Her dad had insisted that she go to Mumbai a day late as she had to join on Monday and she would still have one day to unpack.

But Nupur had other plans, she wanted to attend the reunion of her college which was on Saturday, her mom was aware of it and she had helped her for that. Nupur was too excited to unpack as in between she would take a top in her hand and her mind would start wandering to her friends. It had been 5 long years that she had not seen or met her friends, by email they were in touch, so when her transfer orders had come along with her college reunion email she was so happy she thought she would burst from it. There were so many things to share with them, so many things to say to them. While keeping her dress in her cupboard her hand was in mid air as she thought, but would her friends listen to her? Would they still be interested? People said that time changes people and 5 years was bloody big spam of time. Well no use of thinking it so hard, anyways she will come to know tomorrow.

"Are you going to unpack tonight or you want to dream some more?" said the voice from the doorway.

Gunjan was smiling while standing in her doorway; she was dressed in yellow cotton Punjabi suit. She looked like a yellow rose in it. Her long hair was tied in a simple braid and she wore no makeup, never had as Nupur knew Gunjan since childhood. Even Nupur rarely used makeup herself but Gunjan didn't require make up. She was quite tall with 5.6 feet with sharp features. Her complexion was not fair but little on the dark side but it suited her she looked like Carol Gracias. But unlike the model she never wore any western outfits, only Punjabi suits. Gunjan was Nupur's cousin and now also her roommate in Mumbai. She was a year older than Nupur, Gunjan's parents had died in an accident when she was 4 years old. She stayed with her granny but she always visited Nupur in summer vacations, after losing parents at an early age Gunjan had matured rapidly.

Nupur was a younger sister to Gunjan, and she treated her the same way. After finishing her studies, Gunjan had started staying at hostels as her granny had also passed away, all her family members including Nupur's parents had asked her to stay with them. But she had denied and stayed at the hostel and after finishing studies, taken her own apartment and moved out of the hostel. Gunjan had been staying alone for quite some time and when Nupur got her transfer orders to Mumbai she had told her parents she will stay with Gunjan, and her dad had little to argue as he also liked Gunjan and knew her very well.

"No Yaar, I am thinking about the reunion that I will attend tomorrow. I was thinking about my friends." Nupur sat with the dress in her hand which she was supposed to put in the cupboard.

"Are you worried that your friends won't be the same?" Gunjan asked her while coming in the room and started keeping Nupur's clothes in the cupboard.

Somehow Gunjan understood her too well, that's why she had understood the silent question of Nupur.

"No, I am not worried, but I was just thinking that they are so many things I have to tell them, what if they are not interested." Nupur sighed and watched her cousin unpack her clothes.

"Why don't you admit that you are worried that they won't accept you as the favorite of them all, and they would have found someone else they all like now" Gunjan told Nupur smiling and saw the expression on Nupur's face.

Nupur was frowning after listening to what Gunjan said, was she really worried about that?

It was true that she WAS one of the popular and favourite of all her friends in her group and maybe, just maybe she was worried about the fact 5 years had changed it. Her friends might not share or listen to everything she said or she might not be attraction of everyone.

Gunjan was looking at Nupur, actually she had jokingly made that comment about Nupur's friends not being the same. But Nupur had seem to taken that literally. Nupur could not be second best anywhere; she would still be that popular with her friends because she was too good. And Gunjan knew that herself very well, Nupur was a friend everyone wanted; she was simply beautiful but never had given it a thought. She had a heart shape face with hazel eyes to go with and had a beautiful fair complexion. She didn't look like any actress or model but was uniquely beautiful. Nupur never took extra care for her looks, Gunjan knew that herself as she had known Nupur for a long time. Nupur always thought about others than herself, she never had any enemies. These are the reasons she was so popular in her group, but now also she doubted herself because Gunjan had told her what she might be thinking.
"Nupur, I was joking. Even if your friends are changed, you have not changed. You are still the same old Nups. Caring, faithful and naughty Nupur whom everyone has to like. You can't help yourself, remember when the first time I had come after my mom and dad had passed away. I had said so many bad things to you, started fights with you but you never gave up and finally you HAD made me laugh" Gunjan said this while standing in front of Nupur.

"So don't think so much, and relax okay" Gunjan continued unpacking and was relieved to see that Nupur was no longer frowning but helping her with unpacking.

"So is Samrat coming?" Gunjan teased Nupur.

"Aaarrggh…..Come on yaar Gunjan, he is only a FRIEND to me. You know that man" Nupur replied to Gunjan. Samrat was one of her friends from the group. With an average height, just little tall to Gunjan and a fair complexion which can actually shame girls. With dark hair and light, very light brown eyes and with his mischievous smile he was an eye candy for girls. He was good in studies and every girl wanted him, from her group also girls liked him. She thought of Dia, her friend who had a crush on him and smiled, but Samrat never showed too much interest in any girl. They both were teased discreetly not in front of anyone and Gunjan knew it that is why she was starting to tease her now.

Gunjan also knew how much Nupur hated getting teased, before she could reply to Gunjan, she only continued asking her. There was one more reason to ask Nupur as she herself liked Samrat but never had the courage to ask him about it. It was Gunjan's guarded secret, even Nupur never knew about it. If she knew she would make plans of them getting together, of course she wanted it but she was not sure of Samrat's feelings as she always had a doubt that Samrat had a thing for Nupur which she might not be aware of even though it would be right under Nupur's nose.

"But Nupur, I never asked anything about your relationship with him. I know he is only your FRIEND as he only calls you from your group, shares his secrets with YOU only. I know all that I am just asking if he is coming tomorrow." Gunjan couldn't control her chuckle over the expression on Nupur's face.

"I'll tell you if he is coming or not" After saying this Nupur picked up the nearest pillow and hit Gunjan with it. Gunjan was caught unaware, but didn't stay that way for a long time. And then the pillow fight started, the unpacking was forgotten with everything else and they were small girls again just playing with each other.

In the end they both were in the bed still trying to catch their breath, in between the fight, the bag had gone down some of Nupur's stuff was lying down but who cared.

"It's good to have you here Nups, I missed you a lot" Gunjan said while trying to catch her breath. She had laughed like this after a long time.

"Jokes apart Nupur, you are beautiful. And don't give me that look, you know you are. There has to be someone you are eager to see tomorrow." Gunjan asked Nupur.

Sighing loudly Nupur replied" You know how choosy I am about guys Gunjan, most of the time I helped my friends with their infatuations. Yeah but I had liked a guy and was crazy after him"

After moments passed Gunjan turned towards Nupur who was grinning at the ceiling, Gunjan pinched her. "Who was he?"

"His name was Uday, he was a year behind me in college" Nupur replied while still grinning at the ceiling and then she got up and started unpacking.

"Well Hello, so what happened then to Uday?" Gunjan asked Nupur with her hands on her hips.

Smiling devilishly which made Nupur's face irresistible she replied "Nothing, I just met his older brother Mayank!"
