Here is the last part. Thank you so much for your support guys. I truly appreciate it. Hope you like this part 😛

Flashback:

"So any plans for valentine?" Mayank said as he took seat next to Nupur in the class. He was late for the lesson but did he care? No. He sat next to Nupur who seemed engrossed in the lecture given by Vickie ' their Media teacher. Nupur looked at him disbelief. Does he care about studies? Mayank read her thoughts and said, "No never in my life." Nupur looked at him with amusement. He looked so cute. She had this sudden urge of pulling his cheeks. "So tell me, what are the plans for the valentine?" He whispered while receiving a shooting glare from the teacher. He straightened himself and acted as if paying attention in the class. But being Mayank, it was hard to do so.

"Nothing as yet. What about you?" Nupur whispered back, shocking Mayank beyond words. Slowly but steadily Nupur was becoming like him. She liked being like him. It was fun according to her and it was pleasure seeing Mayank's shocking expressions.

"Dinner and movie at my place with my girlfriend." Mayank grinned widely, seeing Nupur's face. Though Nupur never confessed her feelings to Mayank, she always felt jealous whenever she saw Mayank with anyone else. She knew that Mayank was kind of flirt but somewhere deep down she knew that he had heart of gold.

"Oh! That sounds nice." Nupur managed to say, before turning towards the class to divert her attention.

No words were exchanged after that. Nupur was tried her best to pay attention in what the teacher was saying but failed. Her mind was still to the moment where Mayank mentioned about his girlfriend. This wasn't the first time he mentioned about his girlfriend but there was something about this time. It was Valentine's Day. A festival of love and affection. Against her mind, deep down in her heart she secretly hoped that Mayank would ask her to go in Valentine Ball with him but the destiny had different plans for the duo.

While on the other side, Mayank was looking at Nupur and were noticing her expressions time to time. He felt awful for what he was going to do tonight. He was finally going to ask her out for the sake of the bet. Nupur was great company. She was funny and caring. She might not show it but Mayank knew that she secretly liked him. That was the main reason for the date. Kunal wanted to take revenge from Nupur because she slapped him in front of the whole college when he tried to misbehave with her. Kunal's ego was deeply hurt with the incident and decided to get her back with the endless pain that he will cause her. Mayank and Kunal weren't the best friends but nevertheless friends. When Kunal told about the incident to Mayank, Mayank decided to take the revenge instead. Since he was the one to give his words to Kunal, he couldn't refuse it at the last minute.

"Nupur, will you keep quiet for few minutes?" Mayank replied with a smile seeing Nupur's eagerness.

"No, now will you please tell me where we are going or I'll scream."

"Okay, for the 50^th time, I am telling you that we are going to buy a gift for Cordie." Mayank lied.

"Why do I have to tie this stupid blindfold?" Nupur chided while making silly faces.

Mayank smiled. She was truly an angel, Mayank thought in his mind.

**

Mayank untied the blindfold around Nupur's eyes just on time. At 12o'clock. He gave a quick look in the mirror while running his hands between his hairs. On the other hand Nupur was becoming impatient to see what Mayank had in store for her. She knew that they weren't going to buy any gift for Cordie but she didn't raise her hopes.

She opened her eyes slowly, just to find the most beautiful view in front of her eyes. It took her good few seconds before reacting any further. She was stunned at the decorations. Just then she realised that someone was kneeling down on the floor with a big smile on his face. Of course it was Mayank. Nupur looked down at him, while letting the tears flow down her cheeks. She had whatsoever no words to describe what she felt at the very moment.

"Ms. Nupur Bhushan, I know this may not sound perfect when I say but I truly do feel this way. I remember our first meeting in that common room. Ever since that day my feelings for you, just grown stronger. I know I have been out with many girls but I never felt this way with anyone else before. I know you feel the same way about me but if you don't, we will always be best friends no matter what happens in the future. Now will you be my valentine, please?" Mayank said, truly meaning the each word. There was some strange feeling that was over taking his heart. He was falling for her, slowly but steadily. But at the same time, he knew that when Nupur will find out about the bet, she will be shattered and would hate him but there was nothing he could do. He was in love with her and there was nothing he could do about it.

On the other hand, Nupur didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. Heck, she loved him but what Mayank said was complete unexpected. She wanted to say all the things she felt for him but she couldn't find her voice. She tried to move her lips but no words came out. The tears of joy made its way down her cheeks once again. She felt as if God was showering all his blessings upon her. She was truly blessed for having someone like Mayank in her life.

"Yes! I'd love to be your valentine Mr. Sharma." Nupur whispered after finding her lost voice. There was nothing more she could say. She was overwhelmed with all the happiness she received in this one moment. She wanted to make the most of it.

Hearing Nupur's reply, Mayank stood up and grabbed her in his warm arms where she felt safe and secure. His arms were the most secured place on the earth. She didn't need anything when she was with him, wrapped in his arms. His arms around her waist seemed like shelter against her body. There was no other place she wanted to be. She would give all her life away, just live in his arms for a moment.

The same feelings applied to Mayank. He wouldn't think of anything when he was with her, with his Nupur. She was the only person with whom, he was himself. He didn't do be anybody else because she knew him to well to be someone else.

"I love you Nupur, I love you very much." Mayank finally said those three magical words, ignoring his mind who was trying its best to provoke him but boy did he care. He only listened to his heart.

"I love you too Mayank, I love you."

**

Mayank woke up with a jerk, hearing someone calling his name. He came out of the past memory of the valentine proposal. Every time, he remembered the proposal, he would promise himself once again to prove the each word he said on that night.

Lazily, he opened his eyes, just to find the love of his life standing at the door with a huge smile playing on her lips. He returned the smile while Nupur walked towards his bed.

Nupur came and sat on his bed while Mayank kept his head in her lap.

"Good morning Mr. Sharma." Nupur said, ever so tenderly.

"It's beautiful morning, isn't it?" Mayank replied, while entwining his fingers with Nupur's.

"Indeed it's beautiful. So what's the plan, Mayank Sharma?" Nupur asked, with a huge smile. It was beautiful to see Nupur and Mayank back to normal. Back to being themselves. It was a beginning of something beautiful. A journey of their togetherness. Nupur and Mayank were enjoying this phase of their lives. There was nothing more needed or required in their lives.

"WE are going to Bradford." He emphasized on the first word.

"What do you mean by WE are going to Bradford?" Nupur looked stunned hearing WE.

"By WE I meant you and me." Mayank explained with a smile. Soon, Nupur's stunned expression faded and replaced with a sad one, hearing Mayank's explanation. Nupur knew exactly what Mayank had in his mind and she was in no mood to listen to his old explanation about her relationship with her mother. He was trying to reconcile Sheena and Nupur for a long time now but none of his tricks worked up till now. But this time he was determined to put end to the bitterness in their mother ' daughter relationship.

Indeed Nupur was incomplete without him but the same truth applied to her relationship with her mother. She never talked to Mayank about Sheena but Mayank knew it too well to be told.

"I can't come." Nupur looked for excuses while facing the other direction. She didn't want to break down in front of him.

"Why?" Mayank frowned, before getting up from her lap to face her.

"Mayank please, can we talk about something else?" Nupur was trying her best to sound normal but her tone ditched her. Tears started making their way out from her angelic eyes.

"Hey! No tears please." Mayank said, noticing the big tears on her cheeks while hugging her tightly. Nupur hugged him back the very instant.

"Mayank I don't want to go there, please." Nupur pleaded in tears.

Mayank broke the hug as he felt tears on his bare shoulder. He cupped Nupur's face and kissed his tears away, sending chills down their bodies.

"Don't cry, please." Nupur nodded and stopped crying. "Now listen, your mother loves you but she isn't admitting it but what are you doing? You have to talk to her and sort out the problems. One can't run away from the problems, can he?" He continued when he didn't get any reaction from Nupur. "So you'll come to Bradford with me and talk to her. I am sure everything will be fine after that. You trust me, right?" Mayank asked with a mix feeling of yes and no.

"More than myself." Nupur replied as she held his hand tightly. Mayank won her trust back, and was delighted to hear her reply.

"So listen to me, please."

"But" Nupur tried to argue but deep down in her heart she knew that she wanted do this.

"Trust me." Mayank smiled and pressed her hand in his, assuring to trust her.

"Thank you, Mayank, for everything." Nupur said through her tears that showed the unconditional love and care for him. "Thank you for coming into my life and giving me all the love and support."

"I love you Mayank, I love you very much." Nupur said, before hiding herself inside Mayank's broad chest. She sighed in relief thinking everything has come to the right place. She couldn't ask for more. Never in her dream had she thought she would get someone like Mayank in her life who would love her unconditionally without expecting anything in return. She was truly blessed.

On the other hand, Mayank was surprised at hearing the 3 magical words that Nupur said. Not that he ever doubted her love for him but it sounds beautiful each time, he would listen to those words. Each of them held different meaning for him. It was a promise to be there for her in the time of need.

"I love you too Nupur, I love you." Mayank replied, while holding Nupur tight against his chest. There was no bigger happiness than having love of your life in your arms.

(Note: Hey guys, the following scenes are inspired by a novel called The summer of secrets by Martina Reilly. I have written the scene completely in my own words.)

"Are you nervous?" Mayank finally asked sensing the nervousness on her face.

"No. I am fine." Mayank raised his eye brows. "Okay, I am nervous. Will she talk to me?" Nupur at last asked, putting forward her worries. She was nervous about this whole experiment as she described the visit. She looked towards Mayank to look for some assurance but instead she heard him laughing.

"It's not funny Mayank." Nupur said, turning towards the other side.

"Nupur, she is your mother and you're saying as if she'll talk to you. Of course she will. Just don't worry okay?" Mayank replied, while holding Nupur from her shoulder.

"Yes, so what time are you going to pick me up?" Nupur asked, keeping her worries aside.

"About 9 o'clock. I am going to see John and Samaira now." Mayank replied with a smile.

"Sounds good! You get going then, I am going inside." Nupur announced, preparing herself to face the next adventure.

"Okie dokie. I'll see you at night. Bye and don't worry okay?"

"Yeah I'll try. Bye and take care." Mayank gave her comforting hug before turning towards the car.

**

After praying all her prayers for nearly 20 times, eventually Nupur reached for the door bell with a shaky hand. She waited few seconds, before someone opened the door. She prayed her last prayer before opening her eyes when she heard the sound of door open. It was DJ ' Nupur's nanny. Seeing Nupur after almost 5 months brought a huge smile on her face. She was the only one who understood Nupur for as long as she lived in Bradford. She was like a mother to Nupur.

"Nupur? Oh my God, how are you beta?" DJ cried in joy while Nupur hugged her tightly.

"I am great DJ. How are you?" Nupur replied in a equal joyful tone after breaking apart from the hug.

"I'm good too dear. Come on in." DJ said before dragging Nupur inside and closing the door behind.

"Is Mum home?" Nupur ultimately asked, while taking a seat on her favourite brown leather couch. She chose it when she went shopping for her new house. It was about 3 years ago as far as she could remember it. She was always fond of leather and when she had an opportunity to choose something, she chose this brown couch. She loved it, so did Sheena.

"Who is it DJ?" Sheena's voice came from the direction of the stairs. Soon she came in the view, dressed in black silk trouser with a sky blue knee length top. Her face filled with happiness as soon she spotted Nupur sitting on their favourite brown couch. Ever since Nupur went to London, Sheena felt the kind of emptiness in her house and more importantly in her life. Her day wouldn't end without hearing Nupur's sarcastic comments. Like it says, you realise the importance of something after they have gone from your life. The same thing happened to Sheena. She realized the importance of having Nupur in her life after she left her. She felt her life was meaningless if she had no one in her family to talk to, to share her daily activities, to share her problems.

"Nupur?" Sheena exclaimed as she walked towards Nupur. Her happiness knew no bound seeing her daughter standing in front of her.

"Mom?" Mom sounded so right when Nupur said it, Sheena thought. It was very exceptional when Nupur would call her Mom but whenever she did, it sounded beautiful.

Nupur hugged Sheena despite herself. She wanted to feel the motherly love and affection and she could no longer hold her emotions and hugged her mother. On the other side, Sheena was surprised at Nupur but soon hugged her back with equal love and warmth.

Seeing, both the mother and daughter together, DJ thought of leaving them alone for few minutes. She silently walked out of the room and went to the kitchen.

"I am so glad to you see you Nupur. I missed you sweetheart." Sheena said in tears while rubbing Nupur's back. In this moment, Nupur felt as if her life was complete. She was dying to hear something like this from her mother. And when her dream came true, she took good few seconds before realizing that this was in real and not her dream.

"I missed you too Mum."

**

"I am really sorry Mum, for everything. I always talked to you rudely and never listened to you. I am sorry." Nupur apologised in guilty tears.

"Don't be sorry Hun. I was wrong. I was so much engrossed in business that I completely ignored you all this while. I am sorry darling. I couldn't be a good mother to you. I am sorry. Please forgive me." Sheena cried, while Nupur wiped her tears indicating not to apologise.

"No Mum, please don't say sorry." She wiped her tears and continued, "No more tears, okay?" she borrowed Mayank's line.

"As you say, my dear!" Sheena smiled through her tears.

"That's like my Mum." Saying she hugged Sheena tightly.

Sheena and Nupur continued talking, unaware of the time.

**

On the other hand Mayank was waiting for Nupur, outside the house. It had been over 2 hours since his arrival outside the house. He tried to call Nupur on her phone but she wasn't attending any of his calls. Then he thought of going inside the house but decided otherwise thinking it wouldn't be appropriate.

**

"Damn it." Nupur screamed as soon as she checked her phone. "20 missed calls?" She was shocked to see the number of Mayank's calls. She was so much absorbed in talking to Sheena that she completely forgot about the fact that her phone was on silent mode. She mentally kicked herself for committing such a stupid mistake. She had told Mayank to ring her when he comes outside the house.

"What's up?" Sheena asked seeing the tensed look on Nupur's face.

"I'll be back in two minutes Mum." Saying Nupur ran outside the house.

**

Mayank was sitting on his car when Nupur walked towards him with an embarrassing smile. He looked at if he was going to blast any minute. Nupur walked up to him.

"Sorry." She apologised in the sweetest tone. Anyone would melt in including Mayank but he didn't. He wanted her to apologise more for making him wait for nearly 2 hours outside the house. He turned his face away and acted as if he didn't hear anything. Gosh, he is so adorable. Nupur's heart remarked seeing the frown expressions on his face.

"I am really sorry Mayank. I was talking to Mum and didn't realise the time. Sorry." She cupped his face between her hands and kissed his forehead. "Sorry, please forgive me." Nupur tried once again but in vain.

"Mayank, please."

"No." Saying, he got down from his seat and grabbed Nupur by her hand and she banged her head in his chest. Mayank tighten his grip around her waist which sent butterflies down Nupur's tummy. It was pleasant feeling. She looked up to him in disbelief while Mayank simply grinned. Soon Nupur's expressions replaced with blush as her cheeks started warming up with the proximity. It wasn't the first time when the duo came closer but each time the feeling came as new and fresh. She couldn't get enough of it. She never got used to with his closeness. Every time, he would touch her it would bring out new feeling all together in Nupur's heart.

"Ma...ya....nk..." Nupur stammered under his intense gaze.

"Why are you blushing Nupur?" Mayank asked with a smirk.

"I am not blushing." Nupur replied, avoiding his gaze and trying her best not to blush

"You look cute when you blush." Nupur's cheeks started warming up hearing the compliment coming from Mayank.

"Can we go in, please?" Nupur asked, hoping to change the topic. She blushed enough for the day, she thought.

"Somebody is getting impatient, are we?" Mayank commented.

"Seriously, thank you Mayank. I don't think I would have been able to do this without you being by my side, so thank you." Saying, Nupur leaned into to kiss his cheeks at a thank you gesture.

"You're most welcome, Ms Nupur Bhushan." Mayank replied, at her kissed her temple. "Let's go." Mayank continued as he left her.

"Yeah, come on."
