Samrat's Place
6:00 pm
"Dude I think Nupur ko alag tarah se patana padega" Mayank murmured his face fixed in concentration as he stared at the ceiling resting on Samrat's Bed.
"You are right" Samrat replied as he disconnected his guitar from the chords and placed it at the corner.
"But How?" Mayank wondered.
Samrat sighed and sat next to him."First find out about her likes and dislikes"
Mayank frowned "I know that"
"Well then what?" Samrat asked confused.
"For one there's no effect of 'the mayank sharma' on her"
"Trust me there is" Samrat rolled is eyes.
"Why? Did she say anything?" Mayank sat upright.
"Nope" Samrat lay flat on his bed, mayank sighed and took his previous place next to samrat, their heads meeting gaze at the ceiling.
"She's different" Samrat said.
"Haan, har ladki mujhpe fida ho jaati hai, yeh gussa hoti hai" Mayank Smiled.
"Exactly job hi karega woh irritate hi hogi" Just then the bell rang.
"Chashmish" Samrat almost yelled sitting upright.
"Kya?" Mayank asked.
Samrat pulled on a nice black shirt and set his hair properly. "Gunjan it must be her" he replied to Mayank's questioning gaze.
"cool" mayank grinned "she must be knowing nupur really well"
"got tht right" Samrat winked.
Together the two headed to attend the door.
"Waise admit it you like her" mayank smiled.
"Yeah I like her, she;s a nice girl" samrat played along.
"I meant the other way" mayank pursed his lips.
"you are wrong"
"we will see" mayank challenged, samrat smiled and opened the door.
Malhotra mansion
Nupur stared at the dining table shocked as it was crammed with food items.
Uday entered and placed a can of pepsi.
"Uday Bhaiya?" Nupur exclaimed.
"Nupur" Uday smiled
"yeh sab kya hai?" nupur asked.
"Main na kal ki trip ki tayyari kar raha hoon"
"Itna saara khana?"
"Haan" Uday grinned goofily "Tumhare liye rakhun?"
"No thanks uday bhaiya" Nupur frowned and sat at the main hall checking out a few magazines.
"Nupur" Dia smiled coming downstairs
"How do I look?" she asked twirling around.
"fab as always, u r going somewhere?"
"Nope, Benji is coming home, we have to do the assignment together"
"Ohh the same for which gunjan has gone?"
"Yup"
"Great! I am all alone tonight" Nupur huffed.
"Awww sweety, why don't u pack for tomorrow?" Dia suggested.
"I already have" nupur sighed.
The Bell rang, dia smiled and rushed to attend the door.
"Hey" Dia smiled at Benji, he entered a little nervously.
"Hi" he greeted Nupur managing a smile.
"Lets set to work, my room" Dia smiled.
"Shall I help?" Nupur offered, she didn't like the idea of being left alone.
"that wud be cool" benji smiled.
Samrat's Place
"Hi" Samrat greeted a nervous gunjan blocking mayank behind the door, she nodded smiling, her voice failed her at the moment.
"Hi" mayank poked his head in.
"Hi mayank, you here?" gunjan asked surprised as she entered the hall clutching a very heavy and bulging bag.
"Yeah, am gonna stay here today" he replied.
"that's nice" gunjan murmured as she stared at the messy hall.
Samrat picked his pair of clothes from the couch and offered her to sit.
Gunjan half-smiled "Your house needs to cleaned"
"Uh! Yeah lazy maid actually" samrat grinned sheepishly while mayank chuckled wholeheartedly. Gunjan stared at the table crammed with leftovers and drinks cans.
"Lets go to my room" Samrat offered turning red, his house didn't look that messy just a moment before.
"Howz nupur?" mayank asked.
"she's fine" gunjan replied
Samrat decided to help "she must be excited about tomorrow's trip"
"Actually no" gunjan smiled nervously.
"why?" mayank asked curiously as he and samrat exchanged glances.
"for Di Educational trips = Boooring" gunjan replied.
The three entered samrat's room. It wasn't clean but better than the hall
"nice room" gunjan complimented
"thanks" samrat smiled.
The three made themselves comfortable in the room.
"So Lets Start" Gunjan smiled as she pulled out few books from her bag. Samrat eyed them, they were pretty thick.
"You like reading?" he asked.
"yeah" gunjan smiled.
"And Nupur?" mayank interrupted.
"ermm no only magazines interest her, why are u asking?"
"simply" Mayank shrugged.
Malhotra mansion
Dia smiled though on the inside she was hell annoyed, benji had not even complimented her about her dress'what r u thinking babes he didn't even notice you, he's only bothered about gunjan.
Dia smiled wider as her annoyance peaked at Benji's question.
"where's Gunjan?"
"Samrat's place" nupur answered.
"Ohh" Benji smile nervously at Dia.
"What's the project about?" nupur asked she was perched on the dressing table chair. Dia smiled and penned the title in shiny pink glitter ink. Nupur's eyes widened, slowly her face broke into a grin as she burst into gales of laughter.
Nupur;s laughter was so contagious that Dia started laughing too.
"what's so funny?" benji asked amused.
The two of them doubled in laughter at his question.
"no seriously guys" benji stood up "Love is beautiful, Immature or mature, Love is Love"
The two of them were stunned into silence as benji continued with a dazed look.
"It makes us, our world…everything beautiful"
'Does Benji actually love gunjan?' Dia thought stunned
"u r in love?" nupur gaped.
Dia decided to cover up for him, It would be horrible if before the girl herself her di came to know about his crush.
"No! and stop it benji u r sounding like a sap"
"Sap? No definitely not" nupur said "he was sounding so damn romantic"
Dia rolled her eyes.
"I gotta go" Benji mumbled.
"what?" nupur asked.
"I left a book at home" Benji lied "I will get it" he hurried out.
"wasn't that weird?" nupur asked.
"yeah" dia mumbled "anyways, lets discuss the project"
"sure"
Samrat's Place
"So what's love?" Samrat asked.
"ermm I prefer u read this book" gunjan passed him a thick book. Mayank laughed heartily while samrat smiled shaking his head.
"what's wrong?" gunjan asked.
"I don't read novels" samrat replied.
"I know that" gunjan said "but for the project-"
"exactly I don't" samrat smirked.
"Ohh okay"
"Mayank" samrat smiled "tell us about love"
"what?" mayank made a funny face.
"well..!!" samrat stared at him highlighting the nupur part.
"I have never been in love" mayank shot back.
"u kidding?" samrat asked shocked.
"Dude there's a difference between like and love"
"Ohh"
Gunjan stared wierded out at the conversation.
Both of them smiled at her.
"So tell us Gunjan" mayank flopped on the bed and grabbed a pillow placing it under his chin as he gazed at her questioningly "have u ever been in love?"
Gunjan's heart skipped a beat, she blinked calming herself.
"No but we are talking about love in its broad prospect"
"Broad prospect?" Mayank frowned.
"Yeah" gunjan turned to samrat "You know our parents siblings" she stopped considering whether she imagined tears in samrat's eyes or was it the lights playing tricks.
"or friends" mayank said "right samrat?"
"Right" samrat smiled.
"But it includes the love which am talking about" mayank smirked at gunjan.
"that's true" samrat grinned, he had a fair idea where mayank was headed with the conversation.
"well if not you has nupur ever been in love?" mayank asked.
"ermm I think yes, she's in love" gunjan giggled.
"with whom?" mayank furrowed his eyesbrows.
"Raj" Gunjan burst out laughing.
Mayank boiled in anger Raj Who? Not in college..In Morena?
The two boys glanced at each other nervously.
"whose raj?" samrat asked.
"You don't know?" gunjan asked surprised.
Mayank frowned 'how on earth where they supposed to know?
"well no nupur never told" he mumbled.
"hey! I meant Raj Of DDLJ, surprising she didn't talk abt him to u guys" gunjan went on as the two guys sighed a breath of relief "-shes 24/7 on about him" gunjan finished.
"Gunjan tum bhi na" mayank shook his head as he stood up. "main ja raha hoon ride pe, tum donon yeh project karo"
"Are you sure dude?" samrat asked.
"yeah buddy, I need some fresh air" mayank smiled and headed out playing with the bike keys.
Gunjan's cell rang "Excuse me" she smiled at samrat and attended to the call.
"Gunjan, don't sa anything just listen" She recognized it was benji.
"Okay" she smiled as Samrat started playing with the books.
"I need to meet u right now, I am coming to samrrat's place, just come out in the garden"
"But"
"please gunjan its really important!"
"Okay sure"
"I will cal u again thanks bye"
Benji ended the call.
"Okay so lets talk about this" samrat sighed.
"yeah sure, so if u don't wanna read then tell me, what's love?"
"I don't know" samrat shrugged.
Malhotra mansion
Dia sighed irritated at Nupur's continuous talks about a certain Raj and Simran and their love story, her eyes closed as she fell into deep sleep.
Nupur stopped not getting the words of acknowledgement from Dia.
She shook her head as her eyes fell on the angel sleeping in her bed.
She picked up the sprawled books and pulled a blanket over her.
Nupur smiled staring at Dia, she was a really pretty girl.She switched off the lights and headed out of the room thinking about her day in college.
Her train of thoughts stopped on mayank everytime, for some reason her heart was beating really fast, an image of his flashed in her mind. Nupur shook her head "yeh ladka mujhey paagal kar dega!"
Mayank was riding his bike, he recalled samrat's words and got confused about his feelings for nupur. He didn't possibly love her, did he? It was plain attraction, desire to date her, yeah thts all. He thought. But everytime his thoughts would come back, there was only one way to know the truth, he decided. Smiling he headed towards the malhotra mansion, thinking fast an excuse.
Samrat's Place
"funny samrat" gunjan frowned "can u be a lil serious?"
"Okay" samrat gave up his pranks and jokes. "honestly I don't know about love" samrat rolled his eyes.
"Samrat!"
"let me complete" he said. Gunjan nodded waiting for him to continue.
"Ya so I was saying I don't know about love, but If u really need my input in this project, here's what I can give, Love is beautiful must be, otherwise why would we willingly make a fool of ourselves?" Gunjan gaped at samrat's harsh definitions.
"Sound like a sap, n go around with-"
"- u r so wrong" gunjan cut him off.
"well wat else is love?"
"wel u r talking abt how one expresses their love, it is not always necessary for one to show that they love, its supposed to be understood as well"
"great! I have dated so many girls yet none of them felt the same"
"well that's different, and again m talking about love in its-"
"broad prospect, I heard u" samrat rolled his eyes.
"look just tell me if you are not interested in this project, I will do it on my own"
"No no" samrat perked up "sorry okay, lets be serious now"
"okay so anyways lets leave the basic stuff I will come to the main thing, we have to write on Immature and Mature love, wat do u think abt that?"
"ermm" samrat mumbled "I cant think of it in a college project way, its rated for adults"
Gunjan hit samrat with a book.
"Owww"
"pervert"
"well, I said I don't know, enlighten me"
Gunjan turned the pages of another book and read out "Immature love says 'I Love you because I need you' and Mature love says 'I need you because I love you'
"whose being a pervert now?" samrat asked amused.
"Shut up samrat" gunjan snapped and continued reading.
"The principles mark the line of difference in the two, Immature love follows the principle 'I love because am loved' while mature love follows the principle 'I am loved because I love' " she looked up at samrat to find him deep in thought, he looked up too, gunjan's breath hitched as she stared at his soft brown eyes.
"Okay, that's funny, as per the definition it means that I have loved many girls"
"samrat am not here to discuss abt ur girls" gunjan mumbled feeling weirder every moment.
"well am talking about them coz they help me stay in the 'love' are"
"I am getting that" she mumbled looking away.
"then wats the prob?"
She didn't know herself, what was the prob? Why didn't she want to hear about his girls, about all those whom he had dated and probably…" she put the thought away.
Samrat not able to catch on gunjan's thoughts, came up with another thought. "lets take a break" he closed the books.
Gunjan's cell rang again.
"Samrat I will be back" gunjan stood up "where r u going?" he asked.
"I will be back, just in the garden..u knw" she smiled leaving a confused samrat behind.
Malhotra Mansion
Scratching the back of his head, mayank rang the bell.
To his relief nupur opened the door. "tum?"
No surprise she was shocked.
"yeah, ermm is Benji here?" he asked thinking it was a nice excuse.
"No he left"
"so soon?"
"well he went to get a book, but then I messaged him not to come back as dia had dozed off"
"ohh"
"yeah so now u may leave" Nupur was about to close the door but mayank stopped her.
"nupur" he spoke.
"wat?" she asked annoyed.
"why are you so angry, did I do anything wrong? I am really sorry" he mumbled gazing at her eyes, he couldn't even blink.
Nupur gulped as she met his gaze, her knees went weak, she felt she would fall any second, clutching onto the door, she thought it over, why was she so angry? Because he dazzled her to no limits, not his fault surely.
"ermm actually am not"
" why didn't u come to the canteen then?" he asked his voice smooth as silk, while she was rambling and fumbling over words.
"I was u knw….caught up with some important work"
"ohh…aren't you gonna welcome me inside?" he asked.
"well why?" she asked.
"we are chatting at the door, that's not a nice way to treat a guest" and there it was, his totally irresistible smile and darn cute dimples! That snapped her out of it.
"you are not welcomed in this late, Bye" she closed the door on his face.
Mayank stood shocked 'what had happened all so sudden? One second she was chatting and the next. He stared at the door confused.
He rang the bell again, grudgingly she opened it.
"what?" she hissed.
"I want to talk"
"god!" she huffed irritated as she let him in.
"now what is it?" she asked as he followed her.
"U r coming for tomorrow's trip?"
"Ofcoz"
"that's great"
"m sure, now what is it?" she asked.
"well its just that now u r a part of our gang so u can spend time with us"
"I know that" she replied confused.
"but you don't" mayank shot back.
"what are you trying to say? Are you going to tell me whom I should talk to and whom I shouldn't?"
"No" he panicked.
"its simple, I wil spend time with those whom I want to be friends with"
"I gotta go" he mumbled and headed towards the door as her words echoed, so she didn't even want to be friends with him?
Nupur felt empty all of a sudden, it felt good talking to him, arguing with, challenging him.
'stop him nupur, ask him for a coffee, tea, anything he would have, Stop him!!' her mind shrieked but she simply couldn't.
Mayank turned and heaved a sigh "If we could be friends, I would be the happiest person alive" he spoke softly, nupur was about to speak but he cut her off. "will wait for you, tomorrow" he turned back and this time he didn't turn.
Nupur turned trembling head to toe, his words echoing in her mind If we could be friends, I would be the happiest person alive
Samrat's Garden
"Benji?" gunjan called staring around.
Why had he called her? And tht too at this time? Wat was soo important that it couldn't wait till tomorrow?
"Gunjan" benji whispered from behind a tree.
Confused gunjan approached him.
"tum yahaan kyun chhupe ho?"
"gunjan mujhey bohut hi important baat karni hai"
"kya?"
"gunjan i….i.." benji sighed giving up.
"wat is it?" gunjan urged.
"I..I Love Dia"
"wat?"
"yes"
"thts gr8 but why are you telling me this?i mean u shud be telling this to dia"
"I have been trying" benji mumbled "for the past 1 year"
"ohh well how can I help?"
"Its easy" he narrated his plan to her.
"no way!!"
"please" benji begged.
"but…"
"u r his sister, there can be no1 better"
"why don't u ask di" gunjan turned away.
"well duh! Nupur is elder than me"
"Okay fine, am ready"
Benji's heart leapt in joy.
"thanks gunjan" he hugged her tight, gunjan's breath was knocked out of her.
Benji broke the hug "okay" she squirmed away, she had never hugged a guy before.
