Part 5:
Mayank and Nupur kept walking to the meeting room. As soon as thgey went in the hall, they found the room empty except themselves. They sat on the chair and waited for others. It was being unbearable to wait here for Nupur after they shared that moment on the stairs. She was just looking down in her diary and fiddling the hem of her dupatta.
Mayank was sitting on the next chair to hers silently, and he kept glancing at Nupur every few seconds. How nervous she was. Was it because of first meeting or because of what happened on the stairs. As Nupur felt his glance s at her, she was feeling uncomfortable.
Just then the door was locked from outside. Mayank and Nupur both were equally startled at this. Nupur was being tensed, "Ye door lock kese ho gaya?"
M: Me dekhta hu.
N: Jaldi karo. Yaha par AC ki vajah se itna low temperature he, mujhe thand lag rahi he.
Mayank stood up from his chair and went towards the door. He tried hard, but door was locked using keys. He shouted to know if someone was there outside, but he couldn't find anyone. Just then there was the announcement in the loud-speaker.
"All those who are in the meeting-hall, we are really sorry to inform you that it was an April-fool, and there is not any meeting there. So please be a sport and come back to your places. Sorry once again..."
Nupur was shocked. "Ye sab kya he?"
M: "Vo... mujhe kya pata tha ki esa kuchh hone wala he?, me to yaha par sirf 6 months se hu."
N: Oh..
M: Magar ab kya kare? Me kisi ko phone try karta hu.
But there was no tower in his phone. Nupur gave him her cell. He tried calling Pranav from that, but bad luck (or good luck) again... Nupur's phone was low on battery. It switched off.
N: Ab kya hoga? Ye door kisne lock kar diya hoga? Mayank, please kuchh karo...
Just then lights went off.
N: Mayank...
M: Ha, Nupur?
N: Mujhe darr lag raha he.
Maynak started to pace towards her but at that time only, Nupur tried to get up from her chair and Mayank's leg tripped over the wheel of chair. As he tried to balance himself, Nupur bumped into him, and they both fell on the floor.
They were not able to see each other because of dark (Oh!!! No eye lock session...) But Nupur felt a tingling sensation, as she felt his warm breath on her face. Mayank was lost in the fragrance of her hair, which were now falling on his face.
He stretched his hand to move her hair aside, but just then lights were on...
Nupur came back to her senses and got up from there. Mayank also got up. They were looking in every possible direction except each other.
Just then they heard the door open, and turned to see the peon standing there.
Nupur was so embarrassed that she left from there without waiting for even a second. Mayank asked the peon why he closed the door.
P: Vo, sir, mujhe nahi pata tha ki andar koi hoga. Abhi Rutu madam ne bola ki meeting hall me jitne log he unhe bula lao.
M: Thik he.
After that nothing happens. Mayank was afraid that Nupur would be angry at him, but she was not speaking with anyone. Even Diya couldn't make her talk to her. Then Diya told Samrat to help her.
S: Sure, madam, I am at your service.
He went to Nupur and started his full fun-ride. And of course! Nupur could not resist. She was laughing so much and she even started behaving just as before. Mayank saw Nupur and Samrat talking and laughing. This was the first time he was looking her happily laughing like this. He felt jealous of Samrat. After some time, Samrat wentback to his desk. Diya was astounded after Samrat told her about Nupur's state.
D: Sammy, unbelievable.
S: What?
D: Nupur ke mood swing se cope-up karna itna difficult he. And you are perfectly a genius.
S: Thanks.
Soon the day was over. All went towards their respective homes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as it was 9:00 PM... the chat started...
A: Hey, Basket. How are you?
R: Ok. Not bad.
A: Me too.
R: So what's up? DMG dekha?
A: Oye, basket... Ye bhi koi puchhne ki baat he? I think Shayad Dr. Shashank ko Ridhima ki khushiyo ke bare me sochna chahiye. Vo esa kese kar sakte he? He should trust Arman.
R: Hmm... Right.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Few days pass in this way only. Almost a month was passed. Mayank and Nupur had many cute eyelocks in the office. Few nok-jhoks, too. And of course! They were always interrupted by Suhani only.
Su: Mayank, ye output thik se nahi aa raha he.
Samrat always tried to cheer up Nupur. Diya was also a good friend of Pranav and Rishabh now. Everything was goo din office.
And as usual, at home AmmyRocks and RidzyDMG chatted too much. They talked about DMG, their dreams, their wishes, their point of view for life, everything. Still they didn't know one thing about each other. Each other's real name. True identity of a person who was best friend in their life.
Ye tumhari meri batein hamesha yu hi chalti rahe...
Ye hamari mulakatein hamesha yu hi chalti rahe...
Bite yu hi apne sare din-raat...
Bato se nikalti rahe nayi baat...
Phir vo hi baat lekar git koi hum likhe...
Jo dil ko... ha sab ke dil ko chhu le...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day at 9:00 when Mayank and Nupur were chating...
A: So how was the day?
R: Fabulos.
A: Great.
R: And what about your Ridzy?
A: I don't know.
R: What do you mean by I don't know?
A: I mean... I don't even know her properly. I think I should be her good friend first.
R: Right. Armaan, ek baat puchhu?
A: Ha, puchho na!
R: If someone is completely stranger for you, but you feel jealous seeing that person with another girl talking, and enjoying, what is that?
No response for 2 minutes. As this was the feeling in his heart.
R: Armaan.... BUZZ
A: Wo... I think.. It's love.
R: Sach, matlab vo mera Ammy he?
A: Hey, cheater. Mene tumhe apni Ridzy ke bare me sab kuchh bata diya he, aur tum ne mujhe kuchh bataya bhi nahi abhi tak, Basket, Not fair, haan?
R: Sorry, Armaan, but even I realised it now. Jab vo mere karib ata he to lagta he bas use dekhti rahu. Aur jab vo mujhe chhuta he to dil me kuchh hone lagta he.
A: Same yaar. When I look at her I feel like bas ye hi he meri dream girl, jiske liye, me itne saalo se wait kar raha hu. She is so special. Simple, yet beautiful.
R: Hmm... Par ek ladki he, Vo na pata nahi hath-per dho ke mere Ammy ke pichhe pad gayi he.
A: To aab?
R: Ab kya? Tum idea do na, me kya karu?
A: Let's think... Do one thing.. Do you think he is even noticing you? Does he like you?
R (A blush crept on her face...although Mayank couldn't see it through Internet.): Yes, I think so.
A: Great. It's easy, yaar. Make him jealous.
R: matlab?
A: Uske kisi best friend ke sath itni batein karo ki vo gussa ho jaye.
R: Magar me esa kese karugi?
A: Kese karugi ka kya matlab he? Itna nahi ata? Jab bhi tumhara Ammy samne ho, tab hi uske best friend ke sath itna has ke batein karo ki vo jealous feel karne lage. Understood?
R: Ha. Nice idea. Thanks.
A: Ok, now good night. I have to wake up early.
R: Good night, Bye.
Nupur went to bed thinking about Mayank's advice. "Yes. Usi ke samne mujhe Samrat se baat karni chahiye. Ha, ab ayega maja."
