Chapter 8
----------------------
Bhushan Mension
Dia and Suhaani were in Nupur's house 10 minutes before the 8 pm. It was a usual thing for them to go each others home. They were best friends since childhood. Even their families were old friends. Their fathers and mothers knew each other very well. Whenever they got late to go home they stayed in each other house without any hesitations. When Suhaani and Dia came Padma Nupur's mother was sitting there in hall. Dia and Suhaani went straight to her.
D: hey aunty....kaisi hain aap?
P: aryy beta tum dono....... how are you my sweet daughters? (padma said smilingy while hugging them)
S: we are absloutely fine aunty.........as usual......aap to waise bi jaanti hain na k mujhy kuch kahan hota hai......
D: yeah exactly.............you are a super hero na.........nothing will happpen to you ever......right? (sitting on sofe with Padma)
P: (smilingly) beta sab ghar main kaise hain..........
S: sab thiek hain aap yeh batayien k Nupur aayi hai shopping se wapis abi k nahi...........
D: yeah aunty we are here today for celebration of her engangement...........where is she?
P: wo to apne room main hai...........shoppig se to wo buhat jaldi wapis aa gayi thi......keh rahi thi k uss ki tabiet thiek nahi...........
S: kyon kya hoa usse........aur hamien kyon nahi bataya?
D: aunty ham abi uss se mill kar aatey hain...........(getting up from sofa)
P: beta pehle kuch kha to lo
D: nahi aunty ham pehle Nupur se mill lain phir sath main dinner karien gay.........
S: han aap dinnner ready karien.......ham bas abi aatey hain (said while moving towards the stairs to go to Nupur's room)
They both went up to her room. She was standing there leaning to the window gawking at sky. she heard the sound of openeng the door but did't turn to look who was there. Probably she sknew who it could be or may she didn't even noticed the openeing of door. She was lost in her thoughts. She was afraid thinking about what will happen now. After looking Mayank in the shopping mall she was really scared. She didn't know what to do now.
Dia and Suhaani came to her. Suaani said teasingly.......
S: oh ho Nupur kya baat hai.........sameer jiju k khyalon main khoi hoi ho?
But Nupur didn't respond, she looked towards Dia. As it was first time ever Suhaani was teasing her and Nupur did not said anything.
S: kya hoa Nupur? Tum thiek to ho? (asked with concern)
D: (placing hand on her shoulder) hey Nupur...... are you ok........
But Nupur wasn't saying anything. She simply turned to look at them. Dia and Suhaani noticed her watery eyes. Then she paced towards her bed and sat on it holding bed sheet tightly with her hands at her either sides.
Dia and Suhaani moved towards her and said sitting on bed at her sides.......
D: Nupur baat kya hai tum itni preshan kyon ho?
S: please Nupur kuch kaho to........aise chup reh kar tum amien aur bi preshaan kar rahi ho....
Nupur looked at Suhaani and finaaly spoke.......
N: wo wapis aa gya hai........(she said in watery voice and just then Mayank's face came infront of her eyes, their was so much madness in his eyes)
D: kon wapiss aa gya hai? (asked confusingly)
S: what are you talking about Nupur?
N: (said in loud voice getting up form bed) I am talking about Mayank........Mayank Sharma......he is back now.........wo wapiss aa gya hai.........wapiss aa gya hai wo
Suhaani and Dia were shocked hearing Mayank's name after so long. They thought he will never be back and if he will come back ever he will not contact Nupur. Afterall who remember anyone till this long.
D: yeh kya keh rahi ho tum Nupur?
N: main sach keh rahi hun Dia. Wo wapiss aa gya hai aur wo aaj mujy mila bi tha Shopping mall main. Mujhy buhat dar lag raha hai....aur tum log kehte thy na k wo wapis nahi aaye ga, wo mujh bhol jaiye ga........kuch nahi bhula wo......kuch bi nahi, wo buhat gusse se meri taraf daikh raha tha......mujy buhat darr lag raha hai........
S: (holding her from shouders) Relax Nupur...... kuch nahi ho ga......ham hain na tumhare sath....
N: (said with tears in her eyes) Suhaani maine to yeh sab sirf tumhare liya kia tha na.........main to usse janti tak nahi.......
S: don't worry Nupur we are with you na kuch nahi ho ga
D: Han Nupur wo thori na aur kuch jaanta hai tumhare bare main........aur shayad aaj k baad kabi tum uss se milo bi na.........
N: (just then she remembered something) nahi Dia wo jaanta hai.......usse meri engangement k bare main pata hai.........pata nahi khan se? kaise? lekin wo jaanta hai k ab main enganged hun........... agar uss ne kuch aisa wisa kar diya to. agar kissi aur ko iss bare main pata chala to.... log kya sochien gay mere bare main........
D: relax Nupur ham hain na tumhare sath...........kuch nahi ho ga.........don't worry jaan
S: han Nupur aur agar zarorat pari bi to ham usse bata dain gay k uss k sath jo chatting karti thi wo tum nahi main thi balke main thi..........aur phir sab thiek ho jaye ga.......
D: and now wipe your tears and smile..........(said while wipping off her tears)
N: lekin (she wasn't satisfied even now.......but for her friends she smiled then) ok
S: thats like good girl.......and let me remind you we are here for dinner......remember? (she said to lighten her mood)
N: arry han main to bhol hi gayi thi..........
D: what?........you forgot about it?
N: I am sorry ........waise don't worry mama ne dinner to banaya hi ho ga na.........lets go
S: (holding her hand) ham chalain gay but first you go to washroom.......
N: why? (said confusingly)
D: look at you ...........kya halat banayi hai ro ro kar.........ab jao aur fresh ho kar aao......ham nichy aunty k pass jaatey hain...........
N: (looked at the mirror and said) ok fine tum log jao main abi aati hun........
After sometime Nupur too joined them at the dinner. Dia and Suhaani were sitting here waiting for her. Nupur's baba Shashank Bhushan and Padma were also sitting there for dinner.
D: arry Nupur kab se tumhara wait kar rahe hain aur tum ne itni dair laga di......
N: oh i m sorry........but tum log shurur kar laity na.......mera wait kyon kiya
Sh: aap k bagair ham kaise kha lety.........now sit and have dinner
N: (smilingly said) ok baba.......(Nupur served the dinner to everyone )
S: uncle you know what you are very lucky........
Sh: wo kaise?
S: arry aap ki wife itna acha khana banati hai....to lucky to hove na aap........(suhaani said smilingly)
Sh: (chuckled and said) lekin jab hamari shaadi hoi thi to tab tumhari aunty ko kuch bi banana nahi aata tha.........
D: jaise Nupur ko nahi aata........(she added)
N: arry bich mein main kahan se aa gayi..........
S: tumhe bi to khana banana nahi aata na.......waise kitna strange hai na yeh........
N: kyon iss main aisa kya strange hai...........mujy cooking bilkul bi pasand nahi hai.......aur waise bi kabi time hi nahi mila k main cooking karti..........Doctor aise hi ban jaatey hain kya.......uss k liye parna bi parta hai na..........hain na baba? aur wasie bi yeh cooking mere bas ki baat nahi......world ka sab se mushkil kaam cooking karna hai......
Sh: han bilkul..........aur waise bi cooking house wives ko aati hai jin k pass aur koi kaam na ho karne k liye...........
at this Padma said with frown .........
P: to aap ka matlab hai mere pass aur koi kaam nahi hota karne k liye isss liye main cooking karti hon.......
Sh: arry nahi main tumhari thori hi na main to general baat kar raha tha.........
N: baba aap to phans gaye.........mama aap pochien ab baba se......baba aap hi ko yeh keh rahey thy........
Sh: arry Nupur beta apne baba ka sath chor diya tum ne.............(said teasingly)
P: yeh aap ki beti hai........uss k baad meri kabi bi aap k khilaaf nahi boly gi............
This was true. Nupur always took his baba's side. And its a reality that daughters are more attached to their fathers and sons to their mother. Same case was with her. She always think abot his father before anything.There was nothing important in her life more than her Father and his respect. But it didn't mean that she didn't love her mother. Her mother was her friend. She shares her everything with her, till yet the only thing which her mother didn't know was Mayank. She didn't want to telll her mom about it as it was also related with Suhaani so thats why she didn't want her mom to know this.
After a cute and lovely family dinner Nupur, Dia and Suhaani went to her room. Today they decided to stay wIth Nupur. Actually the reason behind it was Mayank's case. They knew very well that Nupur will be worried about it so they remained with her, they didn't want to leave her alone.
On the other hand Mayank was continuously thinking about Nupur. He was thinking what to do now. How he will get her in his life. "She was enganged now and the most important thing she was ok with it, it meant that she did not love her or was there anything else" he thought. But he loves her, he loves her like anything, he can never ever forget her, never. Mayank was just thinking and thinking but was really confused what to do now. Not any way was coming into her mind.
sau dard hain,sau rahatein
sab mila dilnashin
ek tuhi nahieeeeee
rukhi rukhi si yeh hawa
aur sukhe patte ki tarah
shehar ki,sadko pe main
lawaris, udta hua
sau raste
par teri rah nahi.eeee
sau dard hain,sau rahatein
sab mila dilnashin
ek tuhi nahieeeeee
Bhushan mension
In Nupur's room they were eating ice cream sitting on bed resting their heads on he back of bed. The best dessert which they love a lot. Then Suhaani spoke to break the ice
S: waise Nupur aunty bata rahi thi k tumhari shaadi jald hi ho jaye gi.........
N: han wo Sameer ko wapis London jana hai to iss liye wo log chahtey hain k shaadi jald ho jaye.........
D: waise main nahi chahti k tumhari itni jaldi shaadi ho.........
N: Dia ab tum phir se shuru mat ho jana...........(she warned her)
D: ok ok fine............
N: waise yeh tum apne bare main batao....yeh Benji kab aa raha hai wapiss.........
D: uss ka to naam bi mat lo........you know na hamari shaadi to bachpan se hi fix hai........aur wo stupid hai k USA main hi jaa k beth gya hai...........wapiss aane ka naam bi nahi lay raha........
Suhaani and Nupur started laughing at this. Dia asked with frown......
D: whats so funny in it........
S: (stil laughing) nothing Dia but why you wanna marry so soon.........
D: what so soon.........it has been so long but he doesn't want to come back..........
N: offo Dia he is there for his business na, not with any girl friends of his..........(Nupur and suhaani chuckled)
D: stop it guys........and what bussiness.......you know what i am just fed up of this stupid excuse........i want to do something by my own........i don't wanna join my family bussiness..........isn't it ridiculous..........i mean our forefather make all this property and business for us na but this stupid ego problem.........i just cant understand it (she said having a spoon of strawberry ice cream)
N: dia he wants to do something on his own, he wants to prove himself.........you should be happy for him.......
D: happy my foot...........you know what i have warned him if he will not come back in one month then i will get marry to someone else.........phir rota rahe baith kay.........
S: hehehe poor fellow..........i am sure he will be back within month now........
N: yeah me too............(said while laughing)
S: (heaved a sigh).......i always wished for my Prince even earlier than both of you but i am still single..........
N: (smilingly) don't worry you will also get one that too very soon i am sure
S: really? (said happily)
D: of course Suhaani.........
after talking about some random things Dia and Suhaani dozed off but Nupur was not able to. She was just thinking about Mayank. The more she tried not to think about it the more he came to her mind. She was behaving normally with her friends as she didn't want them to get worry about her but it was so hard for her to relax and not to think about it. Each time Mayank's eyes flashed through her eyes. The madness in his eyes was disturbing her a lot. After sometime she too slept with fear still visible on her visage.
Sharma Mension:
Gunjan was in kitchen, and was making Gajar ka halwa. She was too much engrossed in her work that didn't noticed that someone was in kitchen too. Just then she heard a loud voice........" BHOOOHHH"
Gunjan screamed at this ."aahhhhhhhh" just then that person placed his hand on her mouth. and said "offo Gunjan aise cheekh rahi ho jaise kisi bhoot ko daikh liya ho" then he removed his hand off her mouth and gunjan replied
G: to tum kisi bhoot se kam ho kya samrat............
S: kya matlab hai tumhara?
G: wohi jo tum ne suna........
S: very bad gunjan.......
G: waise tum yahan kya kar rahe ho.........??
S: yeh bi koi pochne ki baat hai.........of course tum se milny aaya hun........
G: really? (asked with a sweet smile)
S: of course gunjan (giving a sweet smile)
G: how sweet of you samrat........
S: wo to main hun..........
G: lekin mujy tum se bilkul nahi milna.........(she said rudely)
S: (startled at her sudden change of tune) arry kya hoa?
G: kya hoa? tum ne kaha tha k tum mayank se hamare bare main baat karo gay..........
S: hamare bare main? konsi baat? (asked scretching his head)
G: samrat i hate you..........
S: i hate you too gunjan (said smilingly)
G: (holding a knife from the shelve) i will kill you now..........
S: gunjan agar main marr gya to tumhara kya ho ga...........kon kary ga tum se shaadi......
Samrat and Gunjan love each other since a long but never told anyone about it, even mayank didn't know aout them. Gunjan had not courage to tell this to her father and aunt. She wanted to tell about it to Mayank but never got chance. And also because she was a girl and was shy of course. How could she just go and tell his brother that she loves his best friend. She said samrat to tell Mayank about it and then he will talk about it to her father. But samrat..........
G: dekho samrat tum Mayank se baat karo gay k nahi.........just tell me clearly.......
S: arry gunjan he is your brother yaar, what if i am his best friend. if i will say him that i really love your sister he will kill me at the spot. Try to understand na.......you know how much ruthless possesive brothers are that too Mayank.......how i will tell him this
G: i think ab mujy hi Mayank se baat karni ho gi..........tum to kissi kaam k nahi ho........
S: arry agar kisi kaam ka na hota to tum se pyaar karta kya.......
G: just shut up ok.........i don't wanna talk to you.......
Samrat hugged her from back and slightly whispered
S: but i wanna talk to you na......
Gunjan slightly smiled and blushed. Samrat heaved a sigh of relief at her smile. Then he said.......
S: waise yeh Mayank hai kahan.....???
G: tum to jaise jaantey nahi ho na.........agar wo ghar hota to tum kabi yahan mere itne pass khare hoty kya.......tum to 5 feet door whan kharey hote........hai na?
S: tumhe kya lagta hai main tumhere bhai se darta un.........
G: mujhy lagta nahi pata hai.........
S: no way.........main kissi se nahi darta........
G: arry Mayank tum itni jaldi aa gaye.........(she said looking towards door)
Hearing Mayank's name Samrat quickly left Gunjan and gunjan burst out of laughing.........
G: main kissi se nahi darta.......(said in mocking tune)
S: not fair gunjan..........
They were this way busy with eachother While Mayank was in his office.
Sharma Industries
After some important meeting in meeting hall Mayank came to his office. Just then he decided to call Nupur. He now knew everything about Nupur. He knew where she lives, her phone no, her hospital adress, everything. Mayank dialed her number but was not pressing green button of cell then after he heaved a sigh and pressed it.........
R.G.H City Hospital
Nupur was in her cabin in hospital and was examining some patient. After reading his reports she said......
N: there is nothing to worry its just temperature and there is not any need of medicine.
P: aap keh rahin hain k temperature hai, phir medicine ki zarorat kyon nhai.....
N: dekhiye its just for sometime even it is good for you. Its called pyrosis, body's immune system itself raised body's temperature to protect body from germs. So don't worry even its a sign of your active immune system. There is no any need of medicine. You are absloutely fine.
P: ok thiek hai agar aap keh rahi hain to.........(he said with doubt visible in his voice)
Then patient left and Nupur just shake her head smilingly. She was now used to of it. Some people seems so eager for having medicines they just came and asked for medicine. Sometime she got a hard time persuading patients that they are abslotely fine. She got up from her chair just then her cell rang. She took the cell, there was an unknown number. "May be its of some patient" she thought and answered the call......
N: hello? (she said collecting some files)
M: so kaisi ho tum?
Recognising his voice files fell from her hands. But just to confirm she asked with shaking voice......
N: kon?
M: tumhe bholny ki buhat problem hai..........Nupur
N: wrong numb.....
M: (cutting her off) I want to meet you Nupur..........
N: (felt her hand trembling)......i said wrong number.........(and disconnected the phone and fell on chair.........) yeh sab kya ho raha hai?.......(she said to herself and her cell rang again which startled her. She then switched off her mobile. ) Usse mera number kahan se mila? (she thought with fear visible in her eyes)
Mayank was so much angry with all this. He tried again her number but it was switched off. He threw her cell in anger. "why are you doing this Nupur? Why? Why damn it?" Mayank mumbled clenching his teeth with disgust. "This is enough now. Its just enough. I will have to do something. I will have to." Mayank held her coat and came out of his office as it was already 5 pm and went to home.
Next day:
Today Nupur was on leave. She didn't go to hospital. She was in TV lounge watching her favourite movie Vivah (not ddlj). Then her mom came to her and said "Nupur beta"
N: ji mama (turned to face her)
P: beta hospital se phone aaya hai koi emergency case hai I.C.U main aur tumhare papa bi wahan nahi hain issliye tumhe bulaya hai unho ne.........
N: abi?
P: han keh rahe they k emergency hai.........
N: (heaved a sigh) ok.........main ready ho k aati hun.......
P: lekin beta jao gi kaise driver to hai nahi aaj........tum ne jana nahi tha to wo bi nahi aaya.......issi liye kehti hun k driving khud kiya karo.........lekin nahi tum kahan sunti ho meri
N: (hugging her mom from back) offo mama aap ko pata hai na mujy dar lagta hai phir bi........aur driver nahi to kya hoa main taxi se chali jaon gi..........
P: ab tum taxi se akeli jao gi.........(she asked worriedly)
N: obviously mama.........(an then kissed her mom's cheek and said)....main chalti hun mama mujy dair ho rahi hai...........
P: ok beta (smiling kissed her forehead)
After getting ready in 10 minutes she came down holding her handbag and rushed out of her house. She saw a taxi standing at some distance from her house, she paced upto that taxi and sat in saying "R.G.H city hospital chaliye"
She picked her mobile out of her handbag and mumbled "oh God mobile abi bi off hai" she dailed Dia's number..........
D: Hey Nupur.........what is this tum ne apna mobile kyon off kia hoa tha.........
N: (reminding yesterday's incident) wo kuch nahi bas aise hi..........khair choro tum ho kahan?
D: main to ghar hun.........thori dair pehle hi hospital se aayi hun.........by the way tum aaj kyon nahi aayi?
N: wo i wasn't feeling well........so,
D: are you ok now.........and where are you?
N: i was going to hospital..........there is some emergency case, papa is also not there, you and suhaani are also at home to thats why they called me........
D: oh ok........
Nupur felt jerk as taxi was at very high speed, the taxi was flying like the fast blowing gale.
N: ok Dia will talk to you later...........bye.........(just then her cell switced off as battery was low) isse bi abi off hona tha (she said putting it back in her bag)
she put the purse at side and looked out of the window. Her eyes were wide open looking out side it was a complete unknown and vacant area, and this was not a way to hospital. She was horrified at this and said with fear
N: yeh aap kahan jaa rahe hain.........yeh hospital ka rasta nahi hai........
but no any responce was received from driver. He was just driving that to with utmost speed.
N: dekhiye taxi rukiye.........yeh aap kahan jaa rahe hain......taxi rukiye (she almost screamed in watery voice)
But again there was no response. She streched her hand to open the door in order to jump from taxi but just then taxi stopped with a jerk............
Nupur looked around with moist eyes. She was hell scared at the thought of being kidnapped. Just then the driver got down from taxi and opened the door for Nupur to come out. Nupur was far scared to notice it. Her heart was thumping fastly against her chest, and sweat was dripping from her forehead and was really scared now. Then a voice snapped her out of her series of thoughts........"bahar aane ki zehmat karien gi aap?" Nupur was startled at the voice, a known voice. She instantly looked at the person and to her shock it was none other then Mayank. "Mayank has kidnapped me, why? what he wants to do" she thought with so much fear in her hazel brown eyes. While Mayank was looking at her intently.
