I moved to other side of bed..and before i could reach to pillows...i heard bathroom room knob click. My eyes directly went to the image standing on the door of the bathroom, literally standing in shocked state. Nupur was in knee lenght bathrobe with her wet hairs placed on one side..dripping water drops and wetting the robe and even few tracing her wheatish legs.
Before i could move or react, she took a step and coz of wet floor, she slipped. I dont know how my reflexes became so fast that i am blink of eye, Nupur was in my arms...Her eyes were still revivig from the fear of falling down and hurting herself badly , when she dove-shaped diamonds caught mine... The moment was locked for me..Nothing seemed to exist in this world.. Evrything still and serene..
But her blank eyes didnt go unnoticed by me ... but there was something building up inside them..something which was hard for me to realise..something ...
I made her stand on her feet but my hand still snaked around her waist ...and her hands still on my shirt ...Unknowingly or knowingly my hand advanced to tugg her hairs behind her ear..but before i could touch her , that something became visible to me .. Her blank eyes were replaced by Fear ..Horror...Hatred !..Evrything came as a slap on me ..and it did more damage than what a actuall slap could have done !
I stepped back...witnessing Hatred in her eyes was not new to him but Hatred mixed with Fear and Horror was something i couldnt take it now. I stepped back and Nupur without even taking a single glance faced her back towards me .
I left the room in two swift steps and banged close the door to my new room .
Nupur's POV
I never imagined to face Mayank in such a condition ! I could feel my heart thumping hard against my chest when Mayank neared me , not because of passion or love but coz of fear ! How much i tried to be strong but he near me ripped my heart away ! That horrible night flashed in front of my eyes...
Soon my thoughts were disturbed by knock on the door ... I opened it to find Samrat standing there with an envelop in his hand
''Nupur..ahh..wel , this is for you '' he said extending that envelop towards me ..
''But..''
''Take it nupur..''
''Are you alright ? Something happened ? '' i asked as he looked distress, i knew something was bothering him but was hard to find out what !
''Nothing much nupur !..Wel, can i take champ with me ?''
''Yeah..but please mujhe batao...please'' i begged in front of him but he didnt utter a word and instead moved in to take Agastya in his arm and left the room ..
I looked at thr retreating figure...and closed the door behind me ..
My hands trembled to open the envelop wich seemed nothing but a letter to another blow..
I took out the letter and looked at it for seconds , to get some courage to read beyond my name
Nupur ,
I hardly have the right to say anything to you but a Sorry ! I am sorry Nupur for whatever i did ...My every single action..everything .. I regret and i am guilty about it. Please Nupur, dont rip this paper apart . I know , a simple sorry cant heal the wound i gave it to you..but i am helpless Nupur ..
I dont know why , but the day i saw you something clicked ..and with someone having the guts to slap Mayank Sharma was a big deal ...my ego was damaged Nupur ! My pride was broken into pieces...With one side of me wanted to admire yours guts but the other sde wanted to revenge ..and i let my other side dominate me ..and It was teh Biggest mistake i committed .
Your frindship with Samrat disturbed me ...not because he was my brother but he was close to you than i was ... I was in a turmoil Nupur !..Evrything was messy ..nothing was certain and in attempt to make everything certain , i tried to talk to you at the time when you came for submission of project with Samrat . But your arrongance and Hatred for me infuriated me and i did something which i never wished for ...
N then misery fell on me when you left Mumbai ...and inside my heart , i knew i was the cause for it .,..but suddenly my life seemed to have a reason , when i over-heard Samrat talking to you about your return ...I was overjoyed but i wanted to revenge for the slap , for the hatred , for taking my peace of mind and for making me think about you day and night .
I forced you for this marriage..and the rest was in front of both of us..
But i never wanted to force you on something !..Agreed i wanted you ..wanted you badly but not in that manner Nupur ..Trust me ..Wel , this is something i know you cant do..but i dont know how to make you believe that i didnt do that intentionally ! That night everything came pouring on my emotions, turmoil, passion and something more...! But destiny plays its game ..you went away from me ...i was aloof in this world filled with beings ..But i wanted to be with you.
And now, nothingg in this world seem more important than you and Ryan ! When you came back home , i decided to amend my mistakes or atleast make you forgive me ..but life played hard on me .
Today when i saw ur eyes..i felt the pang ! It had hatred, fear and horrow ..Maybe i could have taken those things easily an year ago but not now. U mean a lot to me Nupur and so does Ryan but if my prescene hurts you ..i wont be near you.. ! I am leaving for US nupur..and by the time, u'll read this letter, i would have left ...Maybe this is destiny ..broken ends cant be united again !
I wont mind waiting my life for getting forgived . N i love Ryan ...

Nupur silently folded that piece of paper and sealed it back in the very same envelop
Wel, sorry for short update..but culd manage this only ! Sowwie..
