Part 20
"Nupur aur kitni der? Chalo hume der ho rahi hai?" Mayank bursts out, as he walked inside the room. The next thing he noticed was the most beautiful thing on the earth. Nupur was standing near the mirror, dressed in light blue lehnga. The lehenga was beautifully adorned by silver crystal work. She was looking gorgeous, with her open hair and matching jewellery. She was wearing blue and white contrast bangles in one hand and a simple silver bracelet in the other.
Mayank was spell bounded by her beauty. She was looking like this truly angle, came down from the earth just for him. May be this was the first time, when Mayank actually noticed the Nupur. Usually he would see her as her best friend. Today he saw her as more than just a best friend. She was beautiful, no gorgeous, no magnificent, no amazing, no stunning, he kept fighting with his heart to get the right adjective to describe his Nupur. Wait.. Did I just say his Nupur? Well would be-his- Nupur, if that makes sense. It was true that no word in the dictionary would be enough to describe how beautiful she looked in that blue lehnga.
He felt sudden attraction towards and he moved across her. As he approached her he noticed that Nupur was struggling to tie the dori of her lehnga from the back. She tried it again and again but her hand didn't reach it. Mayank came and tied the dori for her. Nupur felt someone's touch on her smooth skin and she knew who exactly it was. She didn't need to see the person. This touch was special and only one person has it. Mayank!! Her heart answered the question. As he did, their hand touched, sending shivers run down their bodies. The touch was a thrilling one. Nupur closed her eyes tightly to prevent herself blushing but little did she know that she was red already.
"Gorgeous, you're looking gorgeous, Nupur!!" Mayank whispered in her ear, making Nupur blush ever harder. She was fully red with blush while her heart was beating faster than ever. She looked down due to awkwardness. Mayank was stunned at his own action, but he loved the closeness between the two.
**
It was kind of making his over come the past and starting new life with Nupur, as per Dia wished. Dia, his first wife left a letter for him asking to move on in life with the love and support of Nupur. All she wished was Mayank to be happy. She wished only happiness for him after her death. She knew Mayank loved her more than anything but there is no point in loving someone who does not exist anymore, is it? Dia was aware of the near death and that was the reason for her calling Nupur back to India all of a sudden. She never wanted Mayank to cry over her death all his life. Because he had long lie ahead of him and more than anything he had a child of his own to look after who needed mother. And the only person was able to give the same love and affection to Arti as much as Dia was Nupur. So Dia decided to bring call Nupur back by finding out about her whereabouts. Sanam was the only person who knew about it, so Dia contact Sanam and fetched the information about Nupur.
**
Mayank felt the proximity between him and Nupur, so he backed out slowly. Nupur noticed it and looked towards his reflection in the mirror. This was the first time she saw him properly. He was wearing white and blue sherwani, complimenting her lehnga. She sighed seeing him in sherwani. He rarely wore sherwani. "It's not my type, you see?" Mayank would say whenever Nupur asked him to wear sherwani in any function. "You would look great in it." Nupur would reply him in persuadable tone. Her judgement was correct about him. He indeed looked great in sherwani. Not only great, he looked so hot and dashing. She blushed at she thought about it. Did I just say HOT? She scolded herself with a blush crept on her face.
The duo was staring at each other intensely from the mirror. Mayank was confused about the new feeling that was taking over his heart and ruling on it, whereas Nupur's love for Mayank was growing with each second passed. She knew that Mayank might not love her back but then again there is no condition in loving someone is there? You can't expect someone to love you back, just because you love them. That would be selfishness and the world was witnessed that Nupur was selflessness. She didn't place any condition that Mayank MUST love her back because she loves him. "Agar tumhara pyaar jana chahe to use jaane, agar woh laut kea aye to tumhara hai, varna woh kabhi tumhara tha hi nahin." Nupur would console herself with this quote. It is very filmy but contains very true feeling.
"hmm chale." Unexpectedly Nupur broke the silence which was speaking more than words. Mayank came back to his senses and quickly looked away realising that he had been staring at Nupur. Nupur was about to walk out of the room with Mayank when Mayank stopped her. Nupur was a bit taken aback and gestured him saying "What?" Mayank smiled at her confusion and went towards the dressing table to get something. Nupur was still standing there, with a confuse look on her face.
Mayank came back within no time. He held the sindoor in front of her. Just then Nupur realised that she forgot to apply the vermillion at the parting of her hair. She touched near her forehead to make sure but it wasn't there.
"Ye!" Mayank replied showing the vermillion. Nupur reached for her hand to apply the vermillion but Mayank stopped her. Mayank opened the box and applied the vermillion on the parting of her hair.
The true sign of marriage, which was completed by Mayank once again. He felt strange happiness in doing so. SO did Nupur. Nupur felt the sense of security in her heart. Security of someone being there for you, always. Security to call someone your own, without any fear. She was truly happy by this gesture of Mayank. She had this urge of hugging him and showing how much she loves him but she couldn't. Mayank would take it otherwise, which she didn't want. Little did she know that Mayank had the same feeling.
**
The party was moving with the speed. The guests were making their way in and enjoying the party. The hall was beautifully decorated with the white tulips as Sanam loved them. There were musicians on one side, playing the romantic songs and there was a colourful fountain on the other. The hall looked crowded and packed with the guests and relatives.
Mayank and Nupur entered the hall, looking made for each other pair. They both were complimenting each other. As they entered all the eyes stared at then as if they were some celebrity couple. Though they weren't looking less than any celebrity couple.
Nupur felt uncomfortable with the millions of eyes staring at both of them. She somehow felt embarrassing though she did not show it. Mayank noticed it too but there was nothing much he could do. Bless him!!
Sanam approached Mayank and Nupur. Nupur shared a friendly tight hug with Sanam, while handing over the wrapped up gift she had brought for her. Mayank hugged Sanam, wishing her best in her life ahead while Nupur went towards Benji to congratulate him. Mayank noticed Nupur when she was giving a friendly hug to Benji. He felt something burning within himself. Kind of jealousy!! Seeing Nupur with someone else other than him hurt him. He could not see it. Though Benji was Sanam to-be fianc, he did feel kind of insecurity. Mayank, what's wrong with you man? Get a grip of yourself!! He warned himself.
Nupur was talking to Benji, when she heard some music. Mayank was standing near the musicians with a guitar in his hands. Nupur was stunned at the view in front of her eyes. She did know that Mayank likes playing guitar but she also knew that he likes it only when he is on his own or with Nupur or Dia. He never played it in the party or any occasion.
**
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
(Mayank stared at Nupur so lovingly which made blush hard and looked down)
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
( Mayank approached towards her, with a smile playing on his lips)
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
(Everyone was gathering up in the centre and their eyes fixed on Mayank)
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
(Boys joined Mayank in smooth dance steps)
Ooo ooo oo..
Naino ki chaal hai, makhmali haal hai
(Nupur was walking towards where Sanam was standing)
Neechi palkon se badle samaa
( Nupur's eyes met with Mayank)
Naina sharamaye jo, ya anake bar aaye jo
(She lowered her gaze with shyness)
Tham ke ruk jaaye dono jahaan
(She stopped and turned to look at Mayank, who was smiling at her)
Rab ki neemat hai teri nigaahein
(while singing he walked towards Nupur)
Jisme basti hai uski duayein
(Mayank came near Nupur and stood in front of her, still singing)
Aise naino ki baaton mein koi kyun na aaye
(He cupped Nupur's face and kissed her forhead)
Hoo Tere naina, tere naina, tere naina re
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
Hoo Aise naino ki baaton mein koi kyun na aaye
Hoo Tere naina, tere naina, tere naina re
Tere naina tere naina tere naina re
**
As the song finished, everyone cheered for Mayank and his unknown singing talent. Nupur was so happy. it felt as if he accepted her as his wife. Nothing more could she have asked for. She found the heaven in that one kiss. It was heavenly magical, so was his touch.
Mayank came near her and stood besides her quietly. He didn't say anything, neither did Nupur. They were enjoying the togetherness. Silence between them was speaking thousands words. Mayank was having this new feeling which he was liking it a lot.
Suddenly, the silence between them broke as the ring ceremony was about to take place.
**
After the engagement, Mayank and Nupur came home. Both were tired due to the hardwork they diid for the day. It was tiring day indeed but neither of them could forgot the day. The best day of their life after their wedding. Mayank was realising his love for Nupur whereas Nupur's love was growing stronger each moment.
As they both entered the house, Mayank went to check up on Arti and Nupur went to the room to get change from the heavy outfit.
Mayank came to the bedroom, after making sure that Arti was sleeping. He looked towards the bed and saw Nupur in fast sleep already. "Poor girl! Must be tired" Mayank thought and went to take a quick shower.
**
After shower, he came and made his way on the other side of the bed. He lay back down on his bed and was staring lovingly at Nupur who was in her dreamland by now. He didn't know what he was doing but he loved staring at her. One of the hair finch was coming on Nupur face, disturbing Nupur's sleep and Mayank's view of her face. Nupur looked annoyed in her sleep as the finch was keep coming on her face. Mayank placed the finch back on her ear with his right hand, making sure he wasn't disturbing her. Nupur turned her side and unknownigly she took Mayank's hand in his and held it tightly. Mayank was amaused at it first. He tired to remove it but couldn't as he didn't want to wake up in her half sleep and they both sleept together, hand in hand.
