The Blind Date: Part 4
"I hated him. He's mean, cheap, arrogant and to headstrong for me. he's a complete no from my side." Nupur announced firmly, folding her hands to her chest.
Gunjan and Dia's face fell. They hadn't expected this to happen. "But why? He's so handsome Nupur!" Dia pouted.
"Dia, I have told you many a time before and am telling you now also that being handsome is not the only important thing!" Nupur said, pushing the two towards her door.
" Now, I want some rest. I need to relax myself. That weirdo has bothered me enough. I don't want others to bother me too. Goodnight guys, I'll see you tomorrow."
And the door slammed at their faces.

"What classic filmy choice you both have! She's so irritating, filmy and girlish! I hated her!" Mayank said, driving Benji back home from dinner.
"But Bro, she's so nice and pretty!" Sam shouted.
"Samrat, I told you I don't like pretty girls. I like smart ones. Now stop this argument or I'll get cross with you again."
And once again, Benji and Samrat had to put their finger on their lips.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There's something going on in my mind about him, but I can't figure out what. He says he loves me, but I don't know if I love him too. What should I do?"
Nupur looked at the question for the 50th time wondering its answer. Easy, she thought, close your eyes like in DCH and see if you can see that guy in your dreams.
Just as she was about to put those words on paper, Mayank's words rang inside her head.
Tell her to right realistic. When you read a problem, think of the solution from the heart. The solution you could apply. And just listen to what the heart says. Might be problems start arriving in bulk, but the bulk of joy is huger.
He's right; what if she sees some monster and gives up the thought of loving him? This is not the time to get filmy Nupur. Close your eyes and think. Listen to your heart.
The answer struck her like a lightning bolt.
"Do what I did to give you this answer. Listen to your heart. If you really love him, you'll want to always remain with him. If that's what your heart says, go ahead. If it doesn't, maybe you aren't in love with him."
Thanks Mayank, she made a note in her mind to tell him.
Mayank checked his files again, and kept them down on the table. After all that hard work, he really needed a cup of coffee.
Coffee tastes better with company Mayank, He heard a voice ring. The same bellowing voice which he had heard that evening. He turned around to see his new friend Nupur in an alluring white dress, which had been his favourite colour. His face automatically lit up seeing her with a tray filled with cakes and coffee. She sat down next to him and placing the tray on the table, motioned him to go on. He took one of the cakes, and passed one to her.
They talked and talked, until Mayank noticed the cream on Nupur's lips. He signaled to her to clean it off, but Nupur seemed clueless about it. Seeing her cute and innocent expression, Mayank couldn't resist anymore. He shifted closer to her. He proceeded hear her face, and she, out of utter nervousness, closed her eyes and waited. He inched closer to her, his face very close to hers. And then-
"Nooooooo!" Mayank shouted loudly, his face dripping with sweat and his hazel brown eyes filled with disgust about the scene he had just dreamt. He took the glass of water on his side-table and rapidly gulped it down.
"Don't think about it Mayank, you'll go crazy!" He said, covering his face under the blanket. Then he opened his eyes and stared blankly." What was that bizarre dream?"
"It's love Brother. You are in love." Samrat spoke under the sheets from the other side of the bed.
Mayank turned his back the other side to face Samrat. "You're awake? Whatever, the dream was not about Nupur."
"When did I say you've fallen in love with Nupur?" Samrat teased, smiling broadly. His eyes glistened with mischief.
"Samrat, stop goofing around now. It's too late, you must go to sleep. We'll talk in the morning."
"Whatever you say, I know you've fallen in love with Nupur."
"Well, I can prove it to you that I hate her. I'll never fall in love with her."
"Bet?"
"Bet you. I will never propose to Nupur, no matter what."
I'm going to win this bet for sure. I can never fall in love with Nupur, she's not my type. Reassuring himself, Mayank went back to sleeping peacefully.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thou art to tell me why thou aren't sleeping", Gunjan said, turning to Nupur from her bed. Dia, Nupur and Gunjan were roommates at Nupur's house, or rather the huge Bhushan mansion. It wasn't that Dia and Gunjan couldn't afford another house. They all needed company to live with, and being best friends, they trusted each other very much, and Nupur's house being big, they decided to live there.
"Nupsi, I know you very well. You won't get up once you sleep, and especially when the next day is a Sunday." Dia said, getting up towards Nupur's bed.
"it's nothing like that, guys. It's just…." Nupur thought of the perfect convincing answer." it's just that you both disappointed me, why did you lie to me?" Nupur said melodramatically, pretending to wipe her tears and faked sobs.
Dia and Gunjan immediately felt guilty. "We're sorry Nupur. We promise, we won't even think of it again."
"I'll forgive you on only one condition."
"And what is that?"
"You're going to treat me to ice cream. Double scoop, banana-n-strawberry."
Dia and Gunjan laughed. "As you wish, my lord." They bowed." Let me get my purse." Saying this, Dia and Gunjan walked away.
Nupur sighed. She turned back to the phone again. "Mayank, are you there?"
"Yeah, tough time with them, huh. Don't worry; my condition is pretty much the same."
"So, any plans for tomorrow?"
"No, how about you?"
"No, I'm free. There's this lounge I know, where they put on English movies. I think tomorrow the movie's Titanic. You like romantic movies, no? You wanna come?
Nupur thought for a moment. Movie. With Mayank. That too Titanic." If you pay for the popcorn, " She said, slamming the door behind her, "I will."
