sorry for the late update!!
Blind Date:Part 7
"Hello Mayank? It's Nupur here. You had called me?" Nupur asked, throwing her bag on the couch and plopping herself down.
Mayank sat up from his bed, startled. "CJ, CJ, come fast!" He whispered with urgency in his voice, covering the phone with his hand.
"Yes Nupur, I'd like you to talk to this friend of mine. Her name is CJ." He handed the phone to CJ.
"Mayank, are you sure I'll be able to do it?" CJ asked nervously, feeling queasy in her stomach.
"Ya, I'm completely sure. I trust you CJ, remember?" Mayank assured, placing his hand on her shoulder.
CJ smiled faintly. "Ya. Thanks." She quickly went back to her phone. "Hello Nupur? It's CJ here, Mayank's college friend."

Dear diary,
I've never felt so weird in my life. I know, I know, I've told this many a times, but this one's completely true, I promise. I mean, how could he behave so……I don't have the right word now, but I feel like…arrrgghh! CJ's very nice, but why does she want to talk to me? I'm just another friend of Mayank. What's so special in me?
Anyways, CJ invited me to her housewarming party tomorrow night. What's special about it is that it will be like a ball, and you need to wear gowns and suits. And bring along a date. A date. What's the big deal in that? Hello, very big deal! I don't have a date! I tried to ask Mayank, but failed miserably.
"Hello Mayank?"
"Nupur! Did you like CJ?"
"Ya, she's very nice…."
"She did invite you to her housewarming party, didn't she?"
"Yes…Mayank I wanted to ask you….."
"Oh it's gonna be so fun! At last me, Sam and CJ together, isn't that great?"
"Sure….Mayank?"
"What's the matter Nupur, you sound uneasy."
"Nothing, goodnight."
Leave this matter now. I have a confession to make. I think I'm going bonkers. I feel something very weird nowadays. Whenever I'm with Mayank, I felt the same way I used to feel with that hot Physics sir in 5th standard. He kind of makes me feel warm and comfortable. The mystery in his eyes and that playful and tantalizing smile on his face makes me go wild. I don't seem to control myself when I'm with him, and I don't find the need to do so. He's just as childish as me, but still he's as protective and strong as a man. He's a complete prince charming.
That's not my confession. I don't like CJ. She talks as if Mayank is her personal property." 'My Mayank' is so funny, 'My Mayank' is so naughty, 'My Mayank' this, 'My Mayank' that!!!!" She doesn't look like she's Mayank's 'just-a-friend'.
Things to Note:
1) CJ is not Mayank's friend.
2) She is Mayank's more than just a friend.
3) She is Mayank's girlfriend.
4) They truly love each other.
5) Mayank is taking her to the ball, not me.
6) I am all alone.
My confession is………I AM JEALOUS OF CJ!!!!!!!!!!!! I Am, I am, I am!!!
It's even more irritating that I've realized something worse than that…….why should I be jealous of CJ???
Yours angrily,
Nupur.

Dear Diary,
I have never felt any guiltier than today. Nupur sounded really dejected when I cut her off and went on praising CJ. I know she is feeling bad about my behaviour towards Nupur. I've never behaved so rude to her. She was almost on the verge of crying….Ok, she wasn't. but she did sound dejected.
"Mayank, are you….um…"
"What is it Nupur? I'm a bit busy with CJ."
"With whom?"
"CJ, why? I'm being her date for her housewarming party."
"Oh….. I thought…"
"What did you think?"
"Nothing…just…"
"Good, I've to hang up. CJ's selecting her gown."
"And you're helping her."
"How did you figure out that?"
"Goodnight Mayank."
Nowadays, all our conversations started with a trailing "umm….." and all questions and clarifications with a "Goodnight". It had become like a barrier between two friends, and I was the sole reason for all this. I had to thank my luck Nupur was still in touch with me. any other girl would have called me rude and kicked by back with their 6 inch high heels.

And the time starts now….3,2,1 GO!!!!!
Why did I care that Nupur's feeling bad? Because she is my friend. No one cares about a friend so much. I do. Oh really? What about you dreaming about her every moment of the day??
I don't dream about her…only her angelic heart-shaped face, her curvy smiling lips, chocolate brown drowning deep eyes, sparkling voice, bubbly and nosey nose…and her. Ya, I do dream about her. But that's not supposed to be. I don't have to…..fall in love with her!!! I'm not. I'm not?
I'm not!!!
Yes I'm not.
It's just attraction.
No it's love.
Attraction.
Love.
Attraction.
Love.
Oh it's just too confusing!!!
War is ended on flimsy grounds due to horrible pain in bridge of nose.
This is a tie.
I can't concentrate on anything else except the bet and Nupur's sinking voice.
What's wrong with me? Why can't I think about anything except Nupur??
Am I falling in love with her???
Yours confused,
Mayank.
That evening Nupur looked at her for the last time. She wore a red satin gown. Red was Mayank's favourite colour. Sighing at the thought of seeing Mayank and CJ descending together like a heavenly couple, she pushed her hair behind her shoulder and took her mobile, shutting the room door behind her.
Mayank slicked the gel on his hair and then looked at him again. No, Nupur liked the spiked look more than slick. He quickly ruffled his hair to make them spiky, just the way he wanted. Just the way Nupur wanted. I'm sorry Nupur, I wont do this again. If I get another chance with you.
