THE SECRET LOVE

Hi guys, as u can see, u are talking to the editor of the famous magazine "The Rockstar", on her personal handicam "cammy". Well, me, "Nupur Bhushan", is a known name all over the newspapers. Having famous parents as well as a successful career surely helps u to be the centre of attraction of the media. The world considers me to be a pampered princess of her dad, "Shiv Bhushan", the famous industrialist, and her mom, "Rati Bhushan", the owner of "The Rockstar". Actually, even u might take me to be a spoilt brat, but i've worked hard for my success. Mum was allowed to buy the magazine, only after i had bagged the position of the editor, coz i wanted my own identity. Basically, i handle the whole work, mum loves to spend her time either working on the laptop, or watching me. Earlier mum used to help dad in the business, but now she's usually with me, and works with dad just through her laptop. Its always a tough fight b|w dad and me, as to who gets mum for more time, and i am always the victorious one, to add to dad's grumbles. But, i never saw dad actually being angry at mum for neglecting him, coz she never did, I've no idea how does she manage everything, she's a wonderful wife, businesswoman, mom and an awesome person. I'm proud to be the daughter of such a wonderful couple, the most romantic people uptil yet, i've ever met. Being the busy people as they are, my parents never neglected me, result being, i am the epitome of fusion of indian as well as western culture. For the people outside, i am a person of bold nature, independent and a strict boss. But the ones who know me personally can tell u how quiet and shy i am. These are just two faces of my personality.

I am really sorry, i just get carried away when it comes to my family. Now, where was i going, of course, i am driving my new merc from mumbai to panchgani, to the farmhouse of the "Shergill's". I have been spending my every holi there, since long back. "Kartik Shergill", the big businessman, is dad's childhood friend, and "Smriti Shergill", his wife, is mum's best friend. I love the whole family too much, "Samrat Shergill" followed his dad on the path of business, where as "Gunjan Gupta Shergill", has a boutique of her own. "Diya Shergill Jain", wife of "Benji Jain", is a board member with her husband at Excel College, whose trustee is Benji's dad. I totally love Kittu (kartik) uncle, sim aanty, Sam bhai, Gujju bhabhs, Diya di and Benji jijs. They all take me to be youngest kid of their family.

My friends cum employees, "Adhiraj Kapoor", the leading photographer, and his girlfriend, "Suhaani Sehgal", a witty and spontaneous writer, shall reach there tomorrow morning. They both are my best friends, and the only secret keepers of the person i love so deeply. We three share each others life strongly, hence making us bestest buddies.

Its late night, but i've reached the place, so a temporary gud nite cammy, ha, only a person like me cud spend her journey listening to songs or talking to her cammy, while driving. Hey, the electricity has just gone off, it'll take a few minutes to switch on the generators. I'll have to be careful, carefully Noor, oh yeah! By the way, Noor is a name only i use for myself, and so does my cammy. Top secret, i luv the name Noor, referred to aura around a person, coz the person i love has this very special aura around him. And guess what, i can just love him, but never get him, the big reason, he HATES me. The love of my life hates me, so, i've never had the guts to tell him about it.

Oh Noor, oh no, u've hit the pot u so surely knew was there. Now fall to the floor, get hit hard, and wait helplessly for some help. But guess what? Falling doesnt hurt, luks like nothing ever happened. I then open my eyes which i had closed on the way to my fall, just to look into those deep black eyes, in the presence of the dim silver moonlight. The green ones had found the blue ones, which for sure didnt seem cold at all, unlike the other days. His stare held me captivated, my heart skipped a beat, then beating at the highest rate. I felt like reaching my hand forward, just to feel the warmth of his skin. Suddenly a shiver ran down my spine, a low voice escaping my lips, "Mayank".

It all started when i was 13. I had come for holi, as always to Kittu uncle's place. But this time, there was a new guy, about 14, present in the gardens, on the benches. I had a distant view, and enquired about him. He was the son of "Mihir Sharma" and "Shilpa Sharma", extremely close to kittu uncle. His parents and his younger sister "Shaila Sharma"(12), had passed away in a plane crash, leaving Mayank to live with the Shergills. Sharma's too had an extremely flourishing chains of hotels, to be handled by Mayank when he wished to. I was shocked to know that he had already started to learn the tacts of business (no wonder he has the leading chains of hotels at present). My first meeting with him took place the same night, i was enjoying the beauty of the stars on the terrace, sitting in the room made of glass. The room was made specially for me. The walls, the decors, and every possible thing was made of glass. I switched off the lights, and was about to move down, that i hit the small settee, unable to see in the dark, and was immediately engulfed into a pair of strong arms. I was suprised to stare in those black eyes, and this close contact of his skin with my bare arms sent 10000 watt shock messages to my body. I cud feel the goosebumps forming all over my body, but hoped he cudn't, thankfully he didnt or maybe chose not to.

"Who are you and what are u doing here?", he asked in a tone that didnt display any of his emotions.

"Noor..., umm, Nupur, Nupur Bhushan. And I always spend my time in this room, it has been designed as such for me, but i wont mind if u wanna be here too, we cud be friends, u c", i said as i fumbled with the answer due to my present thoughts status full of his deep charm.

"Oh, so u r the *pappa's priceless spoiled princess*, enjoying her parents' wealth, who thinks everybody has to live just to bid her orders. I've heard the servants talk about u, they think u r pampered too much. But i am not one of them, so dont expect me to do the puppy walk behind u. As for this room, Kartik dad has told me i cud use it. So no point if u mind or no, get it."

"How dare u, how dare u speak to me like that?", i suddenly emerged out of his hold, shouting at the top of my voice.

"Look, i dont care....", he started, but i cut him,

"Dont u try going there, Mr. Mayank Mihir Sharma, who on earth gave u the right to accuse me of all those things. What do u know about me, huh, what do u know? I know i am pampered by my family as well as Kittu uncle and all, but i never asked for it, and i seriously dont regret it. I dont think there was any day people who know me called me a spoilt child, coz i am proud of my parents' upbringing. The people who dont know me, are jealous of my luck, ur so called informers. But why am i telling u all this, u just dont deserve my friendship. (I paused for a sec, abt to comment on the death of his family, but thought the better of it). As for the room, i'm locking it and taking the keys with me. I'd love to c u get them without my approval, try as hard as u can. Humph!"

For a flash of second i saw agony in his eyes, but it had gone as soon as it had come, leaving me confused if it had been there or not.
This was my first meeting with Mayank, which had been enough to tell me how much he hated me. I kept my mind working to realise the reality of his words.The real reason, I worked out later, to satisfy myself, was that after losing his family, Mayank saw me as an intruder in his relations. He had wanted to be the most loved one here, but i was the apple of everyone's eye, which unfortunately he cudn't deny.

It was actually Mayank's attitude towards me, that gave me a pushoff towards working hard for a career. It was as if, i wanted to prove myself capable to him. Bright as i already was, it didnt take me long to choose myself a career. Initially i shouted about my successs to everyone even through the phone, to make sure he heard me loud and clear. But later, i skipped doing that. I avoided Mayank at every step, the urge to prove him wrong melted down as i realised i had lost my heart to him, the first night of our meeting. His behavior with everyone except me, his nature and his love for the family, all made me love him more. I had created a relation between us of the cat and the dog fighting in front of everyone, so that there was no place of doubt in anyone's heart. He equally participated in fighting with me, resulting in my victory in the end. I thought he let me win deliberately, but then thought otherwise. As much as i denied it, i realised i loved him more and more. I finally gave up fighting with myself, admitting my love, and hence avoiding him, lest he realised my feelings. My biggest fear was his rejection.

BACK TO PRESENT:

As soon as the name escaped my lips, i heard him sigh. His breath felt hot on my face, warming me enough even on that chill night. Suddenly the lights came back, bringing out everyone to welcome their successful princess. I was clutched by everyone turn by turn, and when i turned back, he had left.

NEXT DAY, ITS HOLI:

(Midnight)

U know what cammy, every year these siblings of mine, they paint my face with colours, when i am asleep, before the others. Every year i try to stay awake to stop them, but aghast, i fail. Hope i can do it this time.

(Morning)

"Hey guys, happy holi to u all", i mutter in a sleepy voice, as i move down the stairs. But, everyone of them burst out laughing.

"Oh no, not again!" My guess was too true, i had come down with a painted face. I asked them to click a pic, and strode off to add that to the previous ones.

The holi party was in full swings. People, young and old, along with kids, were running in every possible direction. Just then i saw Adhiraj coming in, i reached him as he enveloped me in a hug.

"Hey dude what took u so long, hope u found the place easily, are u tired, need something to eat or drink, oh by the way, Hapy Holi, and where is my third muskeeter?", i showered a bunch of questions on him.

"Wait princess, give me a break. (He paused for a second). Now, Happy Holi (again giving a hug), i am totally fine, found the place easily, everyone seems to know u guys, i am not hungry or thirsty at present, ur third so called muskeeter Suhaani is in bed right now, with high temperature and bad cold." He continued at my shocked expressions,

"Madame wanted to celebrate holi with water even before the day itself, giving her such a cold. Before u ask, doc says she'll be fine by tomorrow, nothing serious. This was the reason of my delay. And a good newz for u, "Rockstar" has been chosen as the best magazine at the International Awards in Paris, u need to be there to collect the award and so many other awards on our behalf, they've sent u ticket. By the way, more than half of those awards are in our bag."

This time i engulfed him in a hug, tight as one that choked his throat. Our ongoing didnt escape the others and i introduced them to Adhiraj, telling them about the awards thing. As expected, they all celebrated heartily, but i felt, something amiss.

Mayank was nowhere to be seen.

I finally bade farewell to Adhiraj after the party ended,

"Buddy, book two tickets for urself as well as Suhaani. The three muskeeteers do everything together, 'One for All, All for One'. Add the bill to my account."

"But Nupur..."

"No ifs and buts, it is an anniversary gift to u guys"

"What????"

"Yeah Adi, i think its time u tell her about it. I think she's waiting for it, and what wud be a better place than Paris to tell each other that u love each other"

"Nupur, thanx for everything. I guess i cant delay it anymore, Paris is just the place"

"Hey stop this thanx and all, none of these in friendship, buddy. And remember this gift, so that i am allowed to forget any of ur oncoming anniversaries", we burst out laughing,

"Nupur, try telling him, maybe theres some hope. Plz Nupur, give urself a chance, or u may loose him forever. Plz, for me, for Suhaani and for ur self. Promise me u will"

I had to do it, i knew that, i cudnt just let him go, i loved Mayank, so i promised, and we parted with a final hug. I then moved inside, oblivious to a pair of eyes witnessing my give and take with Adhiraj.

That night, mum and dad told me that we were to leave for Mumbai early morning, so i'd better be ready. I knew it was my last chance, so i packed my things, checked that everyone was downstairs, and hurried off to Mayank's room. Nobody in the house went to his room, not even uncle and aanty. I knocked at his door, no answer. I again knocked, this time a bit harder. No answer again. I fished out the cell from my pocket, abt to call him, when i opened the pictures. There were so many of them of Mayank, all of them at the moment he was busy enough to ignore my presence. Then i hit the 'call' button. He finally picked up after some time,

"Yes, Mayank here!", his voice sounded different.

"Mayank, i need a favour, i need to talk to u, i'm outside ur room"

''I'll just come", few seconds passed and he was there, standing in his army tracks and black and white t-shirt. Wearing a pink tank top with black capree, i was too nervous too look at his face that i stared everywhere but his face.

"Cud we go and talk in the balcony?", he followed me as quietly.

"Ummmm.... Mayank, i, i wanted to tell u something, about u, no about us, no, i mean about me." Hell, i was fidgeting with my cell.

"Please Nupur, dont..."

I raised my eyes to look at him and was shocked to see him. The pain which had made me look up at him was so visible, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying. He seemed to be in so much pain. I cudnt see him like that. I was suddenly missing his smile and his cute face.

"Please dont say something that i wont be able to hear, please Nupur"

The way he said my name, it felt as if he was begging to me. I cudnt give him and myself more pain, the pain of rejection i feared, the pain of loosing him.

But, i dont know what came over me, i suddenly exclaimed,

"Mayank, if u care for me, then please meet me at the terrace, after everyone is asleep. Please Mayu, if u care, then please come. And i promise i'll never trouble u again"

I rushed from there saying this, hence did not see him fall on his knees, broken and hurt, crying his heart out.

I thumped on my bed crying badly,

"Why God, i had finally taken a step towards him, but u've taken him miles away from me. I dont think he will ever come there to me, he doesnt care, does he? More than that God, he was hurt. I've got no idea why was that, but if it was related to me, i promise Mayank, u'll never be hurt because of me. I'll leave ur life the next instant"

An hour later, when i was sure, that everyone was sleeping, i got out of my room and climbed the stairs with some hope that he might come. I hadnt realised i wud require a jacket, but it was chilling cold. I was broken, to find an empty terrace, i opened my favourite room, with thoughts of collecting the pieces of my broken heart there. As i was about to enter, I heard footsteps. My heart told me, it was Mayank. He was at a distance, i chose to speak to his body rather than face him. I started,

"Mayank, i m sorry for all what has happened between us in the past. I know i cannot ammend it, and i promise to never trouble u again. I have decided that i'll shift to Paris, never to come back in ur life, but there's one thing i want u to know, i am in love, Mayank, i am in love with someone who made me look at my life and find its meaning, he made me what i am today, i love him since i entered the age related to attraction, but it just grew stronger with time, i love him since last 10 years, capturing his every precious smile, hiding from him just to get a glimpse of his michief or his smile, i decorated this glass room with his accessories, his belongings and anything related to him. Yes Mr. Mayank Mihir Sharma, I, Nupur Shiv Bhushan, is hopelessly in love with you. I really love u"

With this i shut my eyes, waiting for him to depart from there, leaving me with my broken heart, when,

"Nupur...."

I opened my eyes to see him standing there with his arms wide open and a big smile playing on his lips.

I ran and drowned myself in his arms, i didnt need any jacket right now, the world had stopped for me, i wanted to take every part of this moment into my heart, i wanted our hearts to feel connected, so that i cud take all his pains and give him only happiness, so that he cud reciprocate my feelings too, i wanted...

"I love u too Noor,
I love u too"

With that, we shifted to the room, where he tried to give me his jacket.

"No Mayu, just dont let me out of ur hold, i
feel so safe here"

"My princess, i so love u"

"Mayu, i dont believe it, u also love me, i mean u always showed that u hated me, and where did u get that Noor, and why were u so sad today, had i hurt u, or was it someone else, tell me Mayank, plz tell..."

He pressed her lips with his fingers, making her silent. She was brought to a sudden silence.

"Relax sweetheart, my angel, lets start right from the beginning. I had lost my family, and with that, i had lost my ability to trust God. I knew he wud take away everyone i loved, so despite loving Kartik dad and Smriti mom, and the whole family, i tried not to connect too much with them. Then, i heard about your arrival, as to how much the people here love u, even the servants. I was jealous of ur fate, so i decided to be a pain for u by making u feel guilty of ur behaviour. That night, i was coming up, to spend some time, and realised someone falling. I jumped to ur rescue, and fell in love with the green eyed angel. Just then i realised i cudnt let u get hurt by allowing u to come closer to me. I made up all the reasons i cud think of at that moment. I knew i was doing just the right thing. Then i luvd it when i heard of any of ur success. As for Noor, i used to climb up ur bedroom at the night of holi, i wanted to colour u first of all"

"And u managed without any doubts from bhai and di?'

"Well, i told them that the other one had done it, hence keeping them off the trail. Thats when i downloaded all the data from ur cammy to my laptop. It felt nice to see as if u were talking to me. Thats where i got Noor. As for today, i saw u with that punk from ur office, the closeness u guys shared ripped me apart. I know i'd lost u seeing u guys so close."

"He's my best buddy Mayu, him and Suhaani, both. Moreover they are a couple too."

"I realised i was wrong a few minutes ago, but telling me he's already committed surely makes my day sweety. (I giggled) So, now what are the plans, who shall tell the family?"

"I dont think we need to go there actually, coz i heard uncle n aanty talking to mum n dad at the party as to how much they love me, how they'll miss me if i'm gone. They finally concluded that they cud keep me here for the rest of the life, using u as a bait."

"Are u saying what i think u r saying?"

"Yes, (i added softly) they want us to get married"

I was again engulfed in his arms, but this time for a tighter hug. Although i was in his arms from the time we were here, but this seemed just so different. With that, we spent the night or morning u cud say, talking our hearts out to each other. We both had found our love, truly ours. With that i got up with him, entering his room, only to find it full of my posters. He had decorated it according to my choices. I realised how alike we were as i planned to ask mum n dad to let me stay here with the Shergill's for a few days, i already had an answer ready to their questions. But before that i had Adhiraj n Suhaani to call, to tell them about us going to Paris on a double date, as i lost myself again in Mayank.

STILL WAITING

This story is about me, Nupur Bhushan. I had been 17 years of age, when i had gone for that camp, which changed my life. I had not been too ecstatic for the camp, coz i wud hav rather loved spending those vacations with my friends, but my parents insisted tht i go, so i did it. It was a different experience, coz we were staying in the guest house. I had gone to my room, and was surprised to see a balcony there. I loved balconies, n immediately went outside to take in the beautiful view of the clear sky, n the snow filled mountain with some greenery visible. Just then, i turned around, n saw the boys guest house. There, in one of the balconies, stood Benji. I'd met Benji on my flight to here, n he seemed a decent guy. With him, stood another guy, i didnt know him. I tried waving to Benji, but he didnt notice, instead the other guy noticed, n he waved to me. I shaked my head vigorously, n pointd wid my fingers explaining to him, 'not u, the one besides u'. He understood, n notified Benji. Benji waved back to me, n we started talking,

"That's ur room, is it?", Benji asked,

"Yeah, i am here, n tht one must be yours", I said,

"Yup, i am glad we are close by, so do u have a roomie?", he further said,

"Nope, not yet, i am still alone, but i dont know if someone else comes", I said,

"Okie, but i have my roomie, its gonna be the two of us, this is him, his name is..."

I suddenly turned to the voice from my room, n missed Benji's conversation, it looked like my roomie had come, so i called to Benji,

"Hey, i think my roomie is here too, i'll talk to u later, bye", n i waved a bye to him,

My guess was right, the girl who had entered the room was Diya Roy, i was shocked beyond limit. She was not that pretty actually, but her personality was a shocker. Her tall n slim frame, so well maintained, everything abt her shouted style. I discovered she was a little arrogant whn i talked to hr first, n i never risked talking to her again.

Life began smoothly in the camp, we were introduced to the other people. We all belonged from different parts, but we mingled. I did talk to everyone, made friends, but no one was really close to me. I came to know that Benji's roomie was some Mayank Sharma. I never talked to him, but heard a lot abt him from the others. No doubt the guy was good looking, ok, i shudnt under estimate him, he was handsome, but i wasnt too interested since i didnt interact wid him. He was the part of the popular group there, that included Diya, Benji, n few others. Benji had invited me to join them, but i refused, they all were too classy for me. I was the simple girl, n liked being tht way. I usually stayed wid Chinky, who was similar to me in many ways. She had tried to join the popular group, but had been refused. Somewhere down the lane, even i feared the rejection.

As time passed by, we were involved in different activities, n then did i start noticing Mayank. We went for mountain climbing, rock climbing, biking, hiking, n so many adventure sports. Mayank always used to be the best amongst all, even in simpleboard games n things. Later on i came to know tht he visited the camp regularly, so it wasnt new to him. I still felt tht even after visiting regularly, u needed to have talent to be so good. Well, i did the activities, but on a small scale. Thank God, Miss Shilpa had been there, otherwise the others wudnt have stopped making fun of me. Miss Shilpa was kind of the guardian of us all, in that camp. She had brought us all for the camp, n it was her job to bring new students for the camp.

Gradually, i took extra notice of Mayank. He was like perfect in everything, n i started falling for him. I sneaked glances in his direction everytime, n many a times, i found him looking back at me. I used to hope it wud be me he was staring at, but i always found out the other person. It was some or his other friend everytime. I was disappointed, but life went so.

I had a habit, i used to get up early in the morning, to walk around the empty roads. Everyday i took a new road, n discovered some new places. One day, i had walked a bit far, n i found a garden. I was mesmerized by it, i wanted to enter it, but i didnt want to trespass. Then i saw a sign board,

'This garden was made by Mr John Smiths, for his beloved late wife, Mrs Anna Smiths. He has left this garden, for all the lovers of the world. You are free to enter this garden, but it will be great if u cud help maintain this garden. There are all the necessary items here, so plz go ahead in making this place more beautiful'

The garden was indeed beautiful. There were flowers of all colours, n in the centre, was a small shed type dome built, with pillars. It had no walls n was open. It was built of white stone, n looked awesome. I picked up some flower seeds, n lost in my thoughts of Mayank, i sprinkled them all over on a apot near the shed, n watered them.

**************************************

One fine day, i came out of the shower, my hair were wet, n the water dropping on my t-shirt irritated me (ok, i wore jeans-tshirt ocassionally). My cell rang, it was Adhiraj, my bestie, we talked for a long time,

Suddenly, someone had entered my room. I tought it wud be Chinky calling me for breakfast.

"Ok Adhiraj, gotta go... bye... n yeah, i love u too... haan haan missing u... will be back soon. Ok, now bye. Haaaaaaan Chinky, i am coming, it wasnt my fault, Diya took so much time in getting ready n then u know Adhiraj..."

I turned, scattering the water drops, only to find Mayank standing there with tht unknown expression on his face, n rubbing his face where the drops had fallen. I was shocked,

"Tum, oh sorry, i thought ki Chinky hai..."

"Huh, yeah, am sorry too, i shud've knocked. Sorry, wo i thought ki Candy is here, n i never knocked when i came to meet her, so waise..."

"Its ok, Diya has already gone down, u can find her there"

I said this much, n turned, trying to control my tears. So, he came to meet Diya, when i was not in the room. Well, everybody knew they cud find me in the library, rather than the room. So i was oblivious to anything going around. Chinky had guessed, she wasnt sure, but she told me, something going on between Benji and Diya, but now i was sure tht Chinky was wrong. I was shattered, and didnt want Mayank to see my tears, so, i turned around. I thought he had tried to say something, but when i turned again, he had left. That day, i made some excuses, n changed my room. I shifted in with Chinky, away from Diya, away from tht room, whose balcony was the place from where i secretely admired my dream man.

************************************

Since my first visit, i only visited the garden once, on my last day there, when i cried my heart out for going away from Mayank, but i also realised tht i was never close to him.

I departed from the camp, with all those things in my mind, and Mayank in my heart. I saw him hugging n saying byes to all his friends, with a cute smile. I wish he'd ever smiled to me like that, coz i was crazy for his sweet smile. I was hurt again, when he did not even wish m a bye. I said my byes to my other friends, n left.

***************************************

It has been 8 years since then, today i am 25 years old. Mayank had made a special place in my heart, n i cud never give it to anyone else. My parents wanted to get me married, but i just cudnt say yes to anyone. So, after completing my MBA degree with top qualifications, i looked for an idea tht cud save me from the marriage fiasco. And then, it was decided, i went to the company, which organised those camps, n applied for the job. I was easily selected for the job, which Miss Shilpa had handled at my time. I wud be travelling most of the time, n mom-dad wont pester me abt marriage. Basically, it was Adhiraj's idea, he knew everything abt Mayank, n supported me in my decision. At present, Adhiraj is a doctor, recently married one month back to his love, Dr Suhaani. I have been handling the tours since last 2 years. Adhiraj sometimes asks me if its worth waiting for Mayank, n i have no answer. He understands my unspoken words.

****************************************

Recently, we had gone for the tour again. I loved living those memories of my days there, they were my lifeline. But this time, something was different, there was this girl Angel, she was just six years in age. I had observed her carefully, n saw my past in her. Not the love thing, but she used to saty away from the others. Even when she was with everyone physically, she was never there mentally. She talked to everyone, but, again, no one was really close to her. I didnt like it, n took her totally under my care. Though i had to treat everyone equally, but Angel was a special one. She became real close to me, she did everything wid me, the other younger children didnt like my closeness to her, they felt left out, but i knew i wasnt wrong. I didnt neglect them, i just paid Angel a little more attention. It was finally the end of the camp, we were in the flight,

"So Angel, who'll come to pick u up from the airport"

"Umm Noor, well, i guess mom will be pretty busy, so, maybe dad will come, i am not sure, we havent talked"

"Ok, i'll miss u Angel, here's my number n my email id, do keep in touch"

We landed, parents came to collect their children, i saw them all off. Almost all of them had left, when Angel came n hugged me,

"Noor, i'll really miss u"

"Aww, Angel, dont cry, we'll keep in touch, n we live in the same city, right, i'll come n meet u, pakka, plz dont cry"

"You too, clear away ur tears, they dont look nice in ur big eyes"

"Ok honey"

"Hey Noor, buddy aa gaye", Angel pointed to a direction, i turned to see, happily, n received the biggest shock of my life, Mayank Sharma strode in our direction. He had not changed much, only he had become more handsome n matured. He was busy talking on phone, n i guessed he hadnt seen me. I immediately moved from there, hiding behind a crowd.

"Hey buddy, aap aa gaye, so cool. I want u to meet someone, see... oh no, where is she"

"Who Angel?"

"Noor, i wanted u to meet her. She was the best part of my camp"

"Noor (he thought for sometime, then shaking his head), i'll meet her some other time, ok, now we have to go, come"

"Next time, that means u'll send me for the camp, again, wid Noor, haina?"

"I promise, now let us go"

Nupur saw the two figures leaving, father n daughter, hand in hand. She was feeling restless, it had been so long since she had seen him. He was there on the newspapers, coz he was a successful bussinessman, but never did his picture or his personal life come in there. He had been handsome then, but now, it was just more than before. His body seemed to be tearing out from his nicely fitted suit. His hair, like always, were not gelled. Infact, they were longer, n silky, falling on his forehead. His dimpled smile, when he smiled at Angel, hadnt still changed. The feelings in her heart took a turn on seeing him again, n she left the airport heavy hearted.

*************************************

It had been 3 months since she'd seen Mayank again. Angel had tried keeping in touch wid her, but Nupur avoided her calls. She did not want to see Mayank again, n getting closer to Angel, wud mean the same. She did not know anything abt his personal life, his family, n she knew staying away from him was the only option. She had sent her wishes to Angel on her birthday, but she never checked back for the reply.

************************************

It is her birthday today, Nupur was very excited, she was waiting for calls from all her near n dear ones. Adhiraj n Musakaan had been the first ones to wish her, n right now, she was waiting for her parents' call. The phone rang, n she immediately picked it up.

"Hello!!!", she spoke wid excitement,

"Happy Birthday Noor", the voice said,

"Uh... Angel... thanks, so, how are u?"

"............"

"You're angry?"

"Shud i be?"

"Angel, see..."

"No Noor u see (Angel started crying), i have been trying to reach u so many times, but u r like ignoring me. You r not at office whenever i come there, u dont pick up my calls, u dont reply to my mails, why are u doing this?"

"Angel, sweety, stop crying, plz plz plz, i know i have been very wrong, n it was unacceptable, but plz, forgive me. We can start afresh, plz"

"On one condition, where is the party tonight?", Angel chuckled,

"Thats like my girl, ok, the party is at my appartment, but how will u come?"

"Mum n dad r busy, so i guess, its the driver again"

"Ok, pen down my address, n see u at 8, n dont be late"

"Love u Noor, thanks, bye, see u soon"

Nupur didnt know why had she done this, but she cudnt break Angel's heart. Nupur thought she wud try hard to stay away from her parents, that was all she cud do.

*****************************************

It was the night time, Nupur was dressed in a pink n a bluish churidaar, n was busy with the food preparations, along with Adhiraj.

"Adhiraj, when will Suhaani come, its about time?"

"Oh craps, i forgot to mention, she is in an important surgery, n it is a serious one. So, no idea abt when she's coming back, but she's promised to be back asap"

Ting tong,

"I think its Angel, u check upon the cake, i'll open the door"

Nupur opened the door, n saw a very excited Angel, dressed in pink, a bouquet in her hand.

"Happy birthday Noor, how r u?", she hugged Nupur,

"Awww, the flowers are lovely, these red n white roses are my favourite", Nupur now noticed the man in black standing at the door with a big teddy bear in his hand, his face covered. She felt a familiar feeling,

"Angel, whats this?", Nupur pointd to the man,

"Whats this nahi, who's this, he is my buddy, Buddy, meet Noor, Noor, thats Buddy, n plz keep the gift down", Angel said,

The man kept the teddy bear down, Nupur was shocked to see Mayank standing there n smiling, in a black suit wid blue shirt.

"Hi... uh Buddy"

"Happy Birthday, Miss Noor", he flashed his million dollar dimpled smile, Nupur melted down, but suddenly seeing Angel there, she remembered,

"Its Nupur Bhushan for you"

"Oh k, Mayank Sharma", he put forward forward his hand, i was abt to take it when,

"Nupsi, COME HERE, SOON", it was Adhiraj shouting from the kitchen,

"Oh no, he needs help! Angel come inside, i'll just be back"

Nupur rushed inside, followed by Mayank n Angel who knew something wasnt right, but to their shock, they entered the kitchen only to see a man with apron n a cheff's cap, grinning foolishly at a very angry Nupur, who took turns to see the guy, n the beautifullly laid chocolate cake.

"So Nupsi, hows it?", the guy asked Nupur,

"Dunno, u know what am i thinking?", Nupur asked in a very calm voice, surprising all the three there,

"What???", the guy asked,

"That someday, i'll go to jail for murdering u Adhiraj", with this she started running behind him. They played the cat n the mous for a few minutes, when Adhiraj noticed Angel, he stopped, turned n was abt to bump in Nupur who also stopped suddenly,

"Freeze", he said,

"What?", Nupur asked, he pointed his fingers to the duo standing there,

"We are missing them in the fun", he said

"Oh, Angel, i am so sorry, ye Adhiraj aisa hi hai. Dont mind him, so Adhiraj, this is Angel, n Angel, Adhiraj", Nupur said,

"Hey Angel, Nupsi talks a lot abt u, its my pleasure to meet u", Adhiraj said,

"Oh, same here, nice to meet u too Mr Adhiraj", Angel said,

"Its Adhiraj for u, sweety. Hey man, i'm Adhiraj, Dr Adhiraj Kapoor", Adhiraj put forward his hand.

"Mayank Sharma, hi", Adhiraj raised his eyebrows at the name, Mayank took his hand, n suddenly, Adhiraj winced in pain, he immediately pulled back his hand.

"Ah, Nupsi, lets cut the cake", Adhiraj said, diverting his mind,

"Hmm, haan, lets cut it, n trust me, its beautiful. Come Angel!", Nupur stood in the middle, with Adhiraj on one side, n Angel on the other. She made a wish (i cant tell na, poori nahi hogi), n blew the candles. Now she was in a dilemma, who gets the first piece. If she feeds it to all, she cudnt neglect Mayank. So she only fed Angel, but looks like Adhiraj wasnt buying the situation. He pouted making a face, n she had to give in. She fed him one piece too. Then they all settled on the couches,

"Angel, u also went to the camp for which Nupur went, how was it?", Adhiraj asked,

"It was awesome", Angel replied,

"Oh k, it was very bad for Nupur", Adhiraj said while Riiddhima just glared,

"Really, maybe coz she did not have a Miss Noor. So Noor, u like my gift?", Angel asked,

"Yup, i told u the flowers were my favourite. Even Adhiraj got the same ones, they r in my bedroom, n the teddy, i love it, its also going to my room"

"Really, Buddy suggested the gifts, so, who wished u first of all?", Angel continued,

"Ah, like always, Adhiraj was the first one and ...", Nupur was continuing, when Mayank interrupted,

"Um Angel, we need to go, i hav an urgent work"

"But Buddy, u said w wud stay till late..."

"I know Angel, but its urgent. You can visit Noor again, ok?"

Nupur bade her byes to Angel, n muttered a simple thank u to Mayank.

"So, that was Mayank Sharma? Is it still worth waiting for him, when he's already so happy?", Adhiraj asked as she closed the door.

Nupur cudnt say anything, she only hugged Adhiraj, n cried her heart out.

*************************************

Since the last 1 month, Nupur was talking to Angel, but Mayank was never again wid her. Nupur noticed Angel didnt like to talk abt her family, so she never pushed. This time, Nupur was going again for the tour, and Angel wanted to go with her. Nupur said she shud go to new places, not the same ones, but Angel was adamant. Finally, both of thm went there. They had lots of fun. Some time later, Adhiraj n Suhaani, who were on a break, joined them. It was anyways their marriage anniversary next day. The preparations had been made for a nice party. Surprisingly, Mayank also arrived there, the next evening itself. When told abt the party, he was only happy to attend it, even at such short notice. The party went very well, Nupur was dressed in a red churidaar, which was party going dress. Mayank was also dressed in a red shirt, with a black suit. He looked so dashing, n tempting, tht Nupur left the party, n strode for a walk. Surprisingly, she found herself, in the same garden of Mrs n Mr Smiths. She walked to the shed, to the spot where she'd planted the seeds. To her surprise, beautiful red n white roses had grown there, making a heart shape. Nupur sat there, admiring the flowers, when her heart screamed only Mayank's name.

Suddenly, few lights went on, falling all over the garden n the shed. These lights, along wid moonlight, made the view even more beautiful. But, what came next, made her gasp. Mayank walked to her, with big steps, n finally reaching her, he bent on his knees, n pulled out a beautiful diamond ring.

"Nupur Bhushan, marry me"

Nupur was shocked,

"Why Mayank, why shud i marry u?"

"Because i love u, i've loved u since the first day when i saw u in tht balcony. You were wearing tht loose pink t-shirt, wid blue shorts, n u looked heavenly beautiful, much more than the view outside. Your long silky hair were open, n ur skin was glowing like anything. Your simplicity, took my heart. Then u waved, at me, i was jumping from within. But the wave was for Benji, n i was disappointed. But i never left hope. You never talked to me, n i feared ur rejection, so i too did not take the first step. You always avoided our group, i suggested Benji tht he asks u to join us, but u refused. I was always looking at u, n when u sometimes looked back, i was scared of being caught. So instead of looking away, i turned my gaze to any of my nearby friends. Benji was my cousin, n he'd realised my feelings for u, so, he tried his best to help me. He n Diya had hit it off, so, he took me to ur room many times, but u were never there. So i used to sit n admire ur room, ur side was always the clean one, with one red n one white rose in the vase everyday, n ur things arranged to perfection. Your balcony window was a blessing, i had askd Diya to keep the curtains always open, n i saw u so many times through it, ur normal self, in the room, when u were alone.

You didnt know, but just to follow u, i used to get up early, n walked closely behind u. That day, seeing u in this garden, it was heaven on earth. You looked so angelic. And then u planted those flowers, i used to come here everyday to water them. Then came the day, when i saw u in ur room. I'd seen Diya go out, n i thought it was the best time to catch u alone, i came, n the sight amazed me, the water drops from ur wet hair, it was like faliing in love all over again. But then, the convrsation i'd just heard struck me, u loved some Adhiraj, n i was totally broken. Now i knew why the most popular guy of the camp held no interest for u. You were already committed, and i respected ur loyalty, so i blabbered whateve cam in my mind first, n went away. Then, we all went separate ways when the camp finished. I didnt have the guts to say even a good bye to u, u were left like a sweet memory in my heart, my Noor.

After getting older, my love only grew for u, n this kept me away from committing to any othr girl. I knew i cud not ruin someone elses life, coz it was only u in my heart. Then, when Angel came back from the camp, it was only abt u all the time. I was sometimes irritated, but i liked to hear abt Noor, be it someone else. Then, the day before ur b'day, i saw ur picture in Angel's diary. She had been quite upset coz of not meeting u, was talking to ur picture. I recognised u, u'd only grown more beautiful. I was overwhelmed to know it was u, my Noor. I jumped when Angel told me u hadnt married. I saw another hope. Then, i insisted she call u, n the result was there. We headed to ur home, i was ready with both colours, blue as well as pink, i had an intuition u wont wear red tht day. You wore red only when u were really really vry happy, but tht was not the day. And yes, wasnt i right? Seeing u was like getting a new life, but Adhiraj was there too, ur closeness with him burnt me. I now doubted if i really had a chance. So, i took off wid Angel, under pretext of urgent work. Then, i tried avoiding u, i knew abt u from Angel's daily updates, but i didnt want to face u.

Then, after Angel came here again, i recalled our days here. My desire to meet u overcame my resolution of not meeting u, n here i was. But the news of Adhiraj's anniversary party, made my whole life. He was married to Suhaani, so i talked to him abt u, n he told there was no one present in ur life. I immediately rushed here, n thats it, now, plz Nupur, say u'll marry me, evn if u dont love me, i promise my love will be enuf for both of us, plz say yes"

Nupur was crying badly,

"Mayank, Adhiraj lied to u, thre is already someone in my life, whom i love very much, n after him, i can never love anybody, no one ever"

"He... he lied to me, why? Who is it Nupur?", Mayank was shattered, again, he lowered his head, n asked.

Nupur fell on her knees, lifted his face, n staring in his eyes, she answered,

"I love him from the days of my camp, i dont how n when did i fall in love, but since then, i've been falling only deeper n deeper. Even today, i am just waiting for him, the guy who owns my heart, my soul, he owns me, forever. I Love You Mayank"

Mayank heard those words, n hugged her tight. He didnt want to leave her, now that he had her, n his grip on her, told her this. She was only his, she was his Noor. They sat in the same position for some time, suddenly Nupur separated, her eyes went on the ring which was in her finger, she didnt know since how long was it there.

"Mayank, what abt Angel?"

"Angel, she'll be jumping wid joy to have u as family"

"What abt her mom?"

"Candy! Where does she come in?"

"Angel is Diya's daughter?"

"Noooooo, Angel is Diya and Benji's daughter, n they'll also be happy to have u, but why do u ask?"

When Nupur did not answer, n lowered her eyes, realisation hit him,

"Oh God! You, you thought Angel was my daughter, no no no, i am still the most eligible bachelor of India, trust me, no girlfriends too, i swear"

"You r lying to me"

"Nupur, seriously, never had a girl friend, n trust me, i am still a bachelor"

"No, u're not, u have a girlfriend, n u are no longer a bachelor, you are mine", she flashed her ring to him, n buried her head in his chest, while he cud only smile at his love.

Nupur thought to herself, 'thank u God, for fulfilling my wish, n keeping Mayank happy'.

A LOVE STORY (MAYUR)

Not every love story has a happy ending,
sometimes.................

Today is the biggest day of my life, i am getting married to him, the one person who i know loves me the most in the world, whom i love the most. Our friends say that we are the best couple anyone cud ever see, the 'Made For Each Other' couple. I, Nupur Shashi Bhushan, is soon to be Nupur Mayank Sharma. This name sounds like sweet chocolates to my ears. Every time i speak it, i feel i am in heaven. Mayank and my relation was a matter of denial to my family, Baouji and Bui, even Diya(my cousin) were against us, because of the careless image they'd set of Mayank. They protested us being together in the name of protecting me. Only Samrat, Gunjan, Suhaani, Adjhiraj and Benji were with us, trying to help. Finally, Mayank's friendship won over, and, they all, even Diya started convincing baouji. Finally, after lots of drama, with the help from all, baouji agreed to marry me to Mayank. That was the happiest day of my life, exception is today's day.

Preparations started taking a height, and guess what, cupid striked all my friends during this time. Gunjan came close to Samrat. Suhaani and Adhiraj got together finally, and Diya who was angry with Benji for siding with Mayank also forgave him, and to be honest, this was the best u cud expect. I am glad she has moved forward, coz after that horrible experience, we all had given hope, but Diya is so Diya, she overcame all that too.

Anyways, right now, i'm all ready, just waiting for her to come and take me. Meanwhile, i decided to check myself out, in the mirror, i saw myself. Dressed in that heavy creamish-white lehanga, with red work done on it, i wonder how he'd react as i remember our conversation in the mall a few days back.

****************************************

"No Nupur, you are wearing this red dress, and this is final. Red is your favourite, moreover, imagine, you'll look like an angel descending from heaven. Red represents love, red, love, love, red, get it?"

"Mayank, i can look like a girl in love even in white, woh bhi pure and decent wala. Someone's told me that i look like a pari in anything and everything i wear"

"Did he mention about nothing, huh?", he said with a twinkle in his eyes, and i blushed beet root red as i looked down,

"By God"

"Anyways, i dont care, i am wearing white for my marriage, white brings out the innocence and purity of marriage the best, moreover, my boyfriend loves white, so white it is"

When nothing worked, he went for the last resort, making the cutest puppy face one cud ever imagine, he spoke to me,

"Please, red wala, mere liye"

"All right, red will do, i'll wear it"

****************************************

Nupur smiled thinking how he'd react when he will see her in this creamish-white dress, although in her heart she knew he's gonna love it. He'd been adamant that he wear a red sherwaani too, so that they both matched. But keping her plan in mind, she somehow persuaded him to wear white. Mind you, he did look hot in white, she'd just seen from behind the window, when the baraat had arrived. His hair were gelled like always, and surprisingly, Baouji also complimented him this time.

"Haye mera Mayank beta definitely looks hot in this sherwaani, kyun Bhaiya?"

"Haan Ratna, after all, he has to keep himself in form to match my Nupur", everyone had laughed while Mayank stared at him with an open mouth. Suhaani had come and told all this to Nupur, she laughed at the fact that Mayank was spreading like some flu in everyone, only, peolpe wud die to have this flu. Yes, she was right, seeing him dance with Samrat, Benji and Suhaani down there, she thanked God for blessing her with his most precious and favourite person.

Lost in her thoughts, Nupur did not hear Ratna come in and lock the door behind her. She only realised her presence when an upset Ratna shook her. She asked her the reason of why she was so upset, and what Ratna spoke next seemed to take the world away from Nupur.

****************************************

Mayank was sitting amongst his friends as an object of teasing, they all were pulling his leg upto the heights.

"Haan haan, kheench lo, mere baad tum sab ki bhi baari aane wali hai, then i'll see how u all escape", they all laughed even more at this. Mayank was already irritated by the fact that Nupur and him wud not match in the colour of their dresses, the fact that he was dying to meet her, and all this just piled up his frustration. This was what he thought, but the actual reason was that he knew something was extremely wrong, very very wrong, but he cudnt pin point to it. Or rather, he didnt want to accept the fact was that whatever the matter was, it was related to Nupur. The vibes he'd received of something bad, came from his heart. But to avoid any scene, he walked off from there, only to be hit into Ratna. One look at her and he knew something was definitely wrong. Was Nupur alright? Oh God, plz dont let anything happen to her, plz God!

"Bui, kya hua, sab theek to hai na, aur Nupur......"

"Mayank mere saath chalo, Nupur wants to meet you", with that both of them rushed off to her room.

****************************************

The door to her room opened, and he hurriedly entered, while Ratna stood to close the door. It was when he saw her, she looked like........ he cudnt find words. If he said tht an angel had descended from heaven, it wud be an understatement, rather, an insult to her. OMG, she was dressed in that creamish-white lehanga, no wonder she'd been firm he wear white. As his gaze went to her face, he felt something amiss. The spark, the charm which normally used to be on her face was lost, let alone the shine and glow of a bride's face. She seemed to be staring in space, with a hurt expression in her eyes, he knew she was in pain, he'd realised that earlier, and now it only confirmed what he already knew.

"Nupur, Nupur, kya hua, plz kuch to bolo na",
and when lots of persuasion she didnt speak up, he asked Ratna,

"Bui, aap hi bata dijiye, plz?"

"Mayank, Nupur does not want to marry you, she's backing from the marriage and......
She was cut in between as an angry Mayank spoke up,

"Shut up, how can you say such a thing, Nupur, what crap is she talking abt, look, Bui is saying tht u do not want to marry me, its lies i know you want to marry me, right, Nupur speak up, plz Nupur, say something..", he continued shaking her vigorously,

"Mayank, grow up, she's said she doesnt wanna marry you, but if we call off the marriage, it will lead to great insult of the families, so, so..... i suggest why dont you marry Diya. You two are great friends, and she's ready to do it, she's ready to sacrifice her career and independence and her goals for the family's name. She's unlike Nupur, who only cares abt her freaking pre marital nerves, so, is it ok with you now?", Ratna finally completed her speech of how bad Nupur was and how good Diya was.

"I dont trust you, dont you see her state, she's in pain, so much pain, and you still expect me to believe she's called off the marriage, you really take me to be kid bui, dont you. Moreover, if she refuses to marry me, then why cant she say it to me too, why has she chosen to be silent. Bui, i wanna know the truth, what has happened to Nupur, tell me now?"

Ratna was quite scared listening to the anger held up in Mayank's voice, but she managed to utter,

"Mayank, i am speaking the truth, trust me....."

"Trust you for what Ratna, trust you for what?", Baouji suddenly emerged inside with a voice as angry as Mayank's,

"Bhaiya, you, here?"

"Yes Ratna, i shouldnt be here, right, it might disturb your so called beautiful plan of ruining Nupur's life, right?"

"But Bhaiya, what about Diya, she'll...."

"To hell with Diya, i dont care what happens, but i'm not letting you destroy Nupur"

"To hell with me taiyaji, why to hell with me, u dont care taiyaji, u dont care for me now, like u never did, even after when dad left, u never cared for me like u do for ur adopted daughter, Nupur"

Mayank saw a teary eyed Diya standing and shouting at baouji. He was now sure Nupur had just come to know of her adoption, the shock was visible on her face. But what was all this, Diya crying, Bui baffled, Baouji angry, what was happening, and Nupur, Nupur was still
indifferent from her surroundings. He knew only one person cud answer him right now,

"Baouji, plz do me a favour and tell me whats going on, plz?", the request and plead in his voice seemed to calm Baouji's anger, and Mayank noticed that.

********************************

"Mayank, remember, Diya had recently gone to attend her friend's party in Delhi, there she met this Ranvijay Singh. She fell in love and went beyond limits with him. Later on, she discovered it was all just fun for him, so she came back with a broken heart, but managed
herself due to Nupur's support. She then decided to move on in life"

So this explained Diya's weird behaviour in those past days, she had been extermely quite and cut off. And Nupur tried to be with her whenever she cud, n soon Diya was back to normal. Hats off to my dearest Nupur, he saw her and thought - this is why i love you Nupur. When he spoke it, she looked at him for a fraction of second, so short look tht Mayank thought he'd just imagined it, but he knew she'd looked, his heart just knew it.

"About today, Diya just discovered that she was pregant, with Ranvijay's child. Ratna came to know of it, and came up with the idea of Diya marrying you, coz according to her, this wud be the best way of saving family's name. As soon as Gunjan heard Ratna's plan, she informed me"

"How, i mean, Nupur is also ur family, right?"

"Well Mayank, Nupur is actually Diya's step-sister (Armaan noticed Baouji did not say 'Nupur is not my daughter or adopted daghter'), my younger brother had loved someone deeply and Nupur was their daughter. Ratna had forcefully married him to her friend, Diya's mom, but later on, they both died in an accident. Nupur's mom died in the hospital a month later, giving birth to Nupur. Before her death, she handed off Nupur to me, Nupur was unaware of her real identity. But today Ratna revealed it to both Nupur and Diya. Ratna has always hated this girl from the very beginning. Sheesh (he added spitefully)!!! Now, she wants to revenge her by marrying off Diya, and who better than you. You've a great status, ur family background is amazing, and as a guy, there's no one better than you, so she planned to break this marriage. I am sure her plan is responsible for Nupur's such state. To be honest Mayank, both Diya and Ratna are envious of Nupur, the always lovable child. Everyone loves Nupur more than both of them, including me, and off course you. They both despise the fact that how come this simple girl won over your heart, and how come she gets the privilege of being loved so much by you that you can do everything for you. Diya feels she shud've got someone like you, Ratna thinks tht if her brother despised n dithched her, then why shud Nupur get her true love. I hate to say this, but her own family hates her, i'm sorry Nupur, i'm so sorry"

Baouji held the hands of the statue cum Nupur and cried out,

"Baouji, dont cry, plz", Nupur finally came out of the trance and wiped away his tears,

"Mayank, u love me, right, no, dont interrupt me, listen, plz marry Diya, i ask u to do this not for her, not for bui, not for me, but for baouji. I wont be able to bear him being insulted, plz Mayank marry her"

"I'll do it for u Nupur, with all due respects to baouji, but i'll do this only and only for u Baouji, i'll marry Diya, but let me tell you, this will only destroy three lives, urs, mine, and Diya's. I promise to take care of her child, but not Diya, she's even lost the friendship i had for her. And remember, I'll always love you, only you", with that he pulled her in for a hug, probably his last one, and therefore tried putting all that he felt for her in tht onw hug. She too squeezed him as hard as he did, to take in all the warmth he had, which wud be her support for the rest of her life. Finally he parted (not she) and waled off from the room without looking back.

BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world fell for Nupur then and there.

*********************************

He was already waiting in the mandap as Gunjan and Suhaani brought her down. He did not even bother looking up, the ceremony started and all the rituals took place. Mayank did not know when the marriage started and finished off, he was too busy in his own world. Every moment that he'd spent with Nupur striked his mind every now and then, he just cud not take her out of his mind, thoughts of her floated all over. Nupur like this, Nupur like that, Nupur here, Nupur there, Nupur with him, this was the only thing he cud think off. So busy thinking abt her, he came out of this only when his friends shook him. He realised he was in his home, it meant that he'd gone through the marriage like a puppet. But now it was all over, and it was time he had a talk with Diya.

**********************************

"Hey Diya, how are you, i bet u're fine, u've got all wht u wanted right?"

He spoke with sarcasm in his voice, as he entered in the room and found her on the bed with the ghoonghat on her face. Hel*, he'd entered the room only to get positive vibes from Nupur's pictures that hung all over the room and all those gifts which reminded him of her. But now it was time for some action,

"You know what Diya, your child will get everything he should, name, love, care and everything. But wht abt u, how are u gonna live, i'll tell u, i'll make life worse than hell, u'll wish it were better u went to hell. And how will i do that, well, easy, i'll do nothing, simply nothing, except watch u gettin tortured by this new life of urs,welcome to hell Miss Bhushan", he added poisonously,

"I've already met hell 1 year back Mr Mayank Sharma, when i met you"

"What the he**? (he hurried off to pull over the ghoonghat) Nupur? You, What are u doing here? How come and......"

Without waiting any longer, he took her into a rib crashing hug, and only broke after wht was eternity, but still less for the two lovers (oooops, i meant the newly weds).

"Nupur, how, i mean when, how, and like what happened....."

She put her hand n his mouth as she saw him get restless, and out of habit, he immediately kissed it. She blushed and he smiled giving his dimpled smile. She knew he was waiting for answers.

"Mayank (the name felt like chocolates to him as she said it), as soon as u pulled me in the hug, i knew my decision was wrong (he gave her THE look), OK, i already knew it was wrong, right from the beginning, but at that moment, i realised i cud not live wth this decision and without you. So i told them what i felt.

***********************************

"Baouji, main Mayank se shaadi karoongi, i am not calling off the marriage"

While baouji's face shone up, bui came screaming at me,

"No Nupur, are u crazy, u cant marry him, he'll marry Diya, think about her, what'll happen when everyone comes to know of her pregnancy, dont do it,do u get it, u wont marry him, for me"

"Bui, even after what baouji has said, i love u and Diya. I love you both, very much, but i love Mayank LOTS MORE than how much i love you all.
If Mayank had been ok with this decision, trust me, i'd have immediately backed off. But as you've already heard, my backing out shall completely destroy him, and may whatever happen, i wont let Mayank suffer, not even a bit. I'll go to every end to make him live his life happily, EVERY END mom, he deserves it, he deserves only the best"

If Ratna was scared seeing the emotions boil up in Mayank's eyes, then she did know what she felt now. If looks cud kill, Ratna wud've been dead, for good. Nupur's eyes spitted the fire tht cud burn everything. She then moved to Diya who had been a silent spectator after that one dialogue to Baouji.

"Diya, i still love u like i used to (Diya saw the sincerity and honesty in her eyes), but i cannot let u marry my Mayank, he's only mine. You marrying him will make life worse for him, and i wont let that happen. I wont let him break down coz of me. Diya, u know i cud've given my life to u, but now, my life is not mine, it's Mayank's, everything i have now, my heart, my soul, my body, my life, everything belongs to him, and his belong to me. Even if i want to give them you, i wont be able to. These things are here, deep in my heart (she said pointing to her heart), and they'll never part with me, even after i die. Its because of him that i'm living. Uske aane se pehle main bus saans le rahi thi, mere dil ne dhadakna aur maine zindagi jeena to Mayank ke saath seekha. So forgive me, but i have to marry Mayank, at every cost, and no one can stop me"

For once, Diya agreed with Nupur and did not want to argue, she hugged her and Nupur knew she had to reach out for Mayank soon. Baouji too came and hugged his daughters. Finally, Ratna muttered "I'm sorry beta" as she hugged Nupur and cried her heart out.

**********************************

"So?"

"What so?"

"So am here with you, how do u feel"

"Nupur, u've no idea, actually, u have a full idea of how do i feel, coz u're feeling the same way, and i know the hug was enf to tell u how badly i missed u in these few hours, i thought i'd lost u, forever. Haan, but tht reminds me, what about Diya?"

"Well, just as u stormed out, Benji came there after a few minutes, when i'd already announced of my decision, he seemed to have heard everything and asked for Diya's hand and surprisingly, it was di who accepted it", seeing a doubt forming on his face, she continued,
"Dont worry, she did not do it because of her present condition. She truly respects him. Maybe she does not love him yet, but she does like him more than a friend, she came real close to him recently, and honestly, she wud've married him only, she agreed to u just coz of her grudge towards me. Anyways, i'm sure she'll soon fall in love too, i am sure. Dont look so tensed, i guarantee tht Benji did not take the wrong decision"

How did she understood him so well, obviously the way he understood her. He was ecstatic, maybe becoz Nupur had gone against her family, for him, and was ready to take the world against her too. Or actually, he was ecstatic knowing the fact that he was married to her, his 'Nupur Mayank Sharma', the name was so complete.

"I love you Nupur"

"I love you too Mayank"

With that, they both lost each other into each other.

Not every love story has a happy ending,
sometimes.................
It is a happy beginning!!!!!!!
