We're the Perfect Two-MJHT FF- Part14- pg140 19/5 - Page 51

'How could you do this to me?'

She said in a whisper tears forming in her eyes..as she got up and went away.

Mayank and Gunjan looked at Samrat, who was about to break down too.

She was in Gunjan's room standing with folded hands and tears in her eyes. She kept wiping them away consciously.

'Nupur.' Samrat said softly.

'Bhai please. I want to be alone for sometime.' She said in a rude tone.

He went and caught her shoulders. She melted. She turned and hugged him and started crying.

'Why are you doing this? You said so I agreed for this marriage..but so early? That's so unfair!!' She shouted.

'Nupur..aunty just asked me. What could I have said. You saw the whole situation right?' He said caressing her hair. He was controlling his tears.

She moved away from him. 'But ten days?! Im not even ready. How will I leave you and go? Who will take care of you?' She said all in a breath.

Samrat smiled. 'Oh..so you are more bothered about me??'

'You just try to make everything amusing!' She said turning and not facing him.

'Nupur'see you cant wait for 3 years right. And how does it matter? Im just 30 minutes away from you. I will be FINE.' He said stressing to persuade her. 'You can come and meet me any time..and so will I.' He looked at her expression which was blank. 'And..you always wanted to get married..dress up..see..all this is coming so soon!' He said trying to convincing her with a forced smile.

'This is not a joke.' She turned and whispered.

'I know Nupur.' He turned avoiding her gaze. 'Im sorry.' He said genuinely.

She turned to him. 'I don't care..go and talk to aunty right now.' She said going out of the room.

'But Nupur'' His words were left hanging as she left from there. Tears formed in his eyes as he saw her departing image. He was just hiding from her the real emotions. He himself actually was so depressed. She had been like his baby. How could he let her go? How would he live without her in that huge house? Who would make him burnt gajar halwa? Who would make a mess of the house? Whom will he watch DDLJ with? Who would he tease? The flow of thoughts came in rapid speed making him loose senses. He started to cry. He never had since years..after the horrible two years. But now he was. His hands covered his eyes as he tried to hide them.

He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Gunjan standing with moist eyes. 'Im sorry Samrat. Mom is just not agreeing.' She was shocked to see him crying. 'Sam..Samrat..?' She stammered.

He hugged her. Hiding his face in her hair. 'I think this is a whole mistake. Do you think I'm doing right? Nupur and me are so used to each other..and just ten days. Oh god.' He mumbled.

Soothing is back. 'Look Samrat. She is just getting married. Not dying or something. Why you talking like this?' She murmured. 'And that too ..she will come here. I promise I will take care of her. You trust me right?' She said making him face her. There was confidence in her voice.

He went and sat on the bed and wiped the tears. 'I trust you Gunjan.' He replied.

She sat next to him and held his hand. 'Do you want to tell me something?'

He had calmed down a bit. 'Our parents died in an accident when I was 16 and she was 13 and a half. We both were immature and we had to live with our dad's younger brother as my mom was the only child and they were the only relatives. They never liked us..and were always behind the money that our dad left for us. Dad was a good businessmen and very rich. Our uncle and aunt used to ill-treat us. I never bothered but Nupur was too young to understand. She started to get scared of them..and they took advantage. I had promised my mom before she died that I would always take care of Nupur. So after I turned 18, we both went back to our old house. Dad had a friend who was a lawyer..and he helped us manage all the expenses from the money dad left us. I made Nups just like me..brave , fun-loving. We never had a family. We always used to celebrate every festival alone. We were like the support system for each other. Looking back to those days..I got a little emotional. Both of us promised on leaving our uncle's house that we would never cry. Both of us broke that promise today.' He chuckled with a sadness. 'I never told this to anybody. Don't know why Im boring you with this speech. I knew Nupur would get married and go. Just that its too early. But this day will come one day or the other..' He said it all in a breath.

She clutched his hand tighter. 'Im so proud of both of you.' She whispered with a smile.

He smiled back. 'I promised mom that her wedding would be very memorable. Guess its time to ful-fill my promise. But who will convince her?' He pouted.

'I will.' Gunjan gave an assuring smile.

---------------------------------------------

Nupur walked out of the room. She was pulled inside some room.

'Mayank kya kar rahe ho?' She saw him closing the door.

He came close. 'Im so very sorry Nupur. My mom..guess shes got some mental marriage problem all of a sudden.' He muttered.

'Mayank''

'No. Im serious. She has lost it completely now. She is winning arguments with ME. That has NEVER happened. My ego is hurt.' He said sadly.

She didn't know what happen but she chuckled.

'What is so funny?' He said angrily. She shook her head. He caught her hand. 'Nupur. Im sorry. I know how close you and Samrat are'im feeling so bad. You don't have to do all this. You can back out if you want. I wont stop you. Promise.'

She lowered her eyes in confusion.

'You know actually..' He said thinking. 'This is all Gunjan's fault.' He said in a stubbornly. 'Im not going to leave her.' He said in a threatening tone.

Gunjan and Samrat entered inside. 'Excuse me. What's my fault in all this?' Gunjan interrupted going and standing in front of Mayank with her hands on her hip.

'Tumhare pet main koi baat tikti kahan hain? Why did you call mom and open your big mouth about me and Nupur?' He shouted in his trademark sadu tone.

'Hawww..how dare you? I was just informing mom okay. She has a right to know.' Gunjan also shouted.

Samrat and Nupur looked perplexed.

'I can see your informing. Now look she will get me and Nupur married in 10 days!! Do you even know the meaning?' He said shouting at again.

'That is not my fault..or mom's. It's all that pandit's fault. He took out the date. And you dare don't shout at me. Even I can shout.' She screamed pushing him a bit.

'How dare you push me?' Mayank said pushing her back.

'Don't you dare touch me.' Gunjan started hitting him.

Samrat and Nupur couldn't believe their eyes. Mayank and Gunjan out of all were fighting..and now there were even hitting each other. Their hands tangled trying to fight. Or wrestle would be a better word.

Samrat caught Gunjan's waist and pulled her behind while Nupur pulled Mayank back with his arms with extreme difficulty. They were still fighting with their hands.

'Chodo Samrat!!' Gunjan screamed trying to hit Mayank.

Mayank had no difficulty as Nupur's hands were so weak compared to his. He almost pushed her away trying to catch Gunjan's hands.

'Tum dono paagal ho gaye ho kya?' Samrat screamed creating silence. Mayank and Gunjan's hands dropped.

'Did we just fight?' Mayank mumbled towards Gunjan.

She adjusted her glasses.' Im sorry.'

'Me too.' Mayank said looking away.

Samrat and Nupur looked at them and burst out laughing. They hi-fied each other.

'By god..aisa entertainment to SRK ki movies main bhi nahin hota!' She said holding her stomach and laughing.

'Nupur..I swear..Ab lag rahe hai dono.true brother-sister jodi..wahh!!' he said laughing too.

'Entertainment khatam. Can we get serious now?' Mayank said spoiling the happy environment.

Samrat and Nupur had blank expressions plastered on their faces. Samrat looked at Gunjan and pointed towards Nupur. She nodded.

Gunjan and Nupur sat on the bed. Gunjan had her hand around Nupur's shoulders. 'Nupur you have been with Samrat since so many years..and given him so much support and love. Now that you have called me your sister, wont you give me the same love?' Nupur looked confused. 'I want you to come here as soon as possible..so that I get a sister.' She replied in an excited tone. 'It will be so much of fun! Aur rahe Samrat ki baat..Mom will go off to Delhi..then every weekend we will all go to your house and stay..and party..and be with Samrat. Even bhai will come with us. Haina?' She looked at Mayank, even Nupur looked at him.

'Ya..sure..' He nodded in a confused tone.

Gunjan smiled. 'And on weekdays..Samrat can home..or we will go..meet for dinner etc etc. The only difference will be you staying here with me and bhai..during the night. Then how will you even miss Samrat..? Haan?' She asked.

'But'.' Nupur mumbled.

'Gunjan is absolutely right..Nupur.' Samrat said coming and sitting next to her. 'And anyways..maybe even ill get married sometime later..and then me and my wife will have the house to myself..no interruptions.' He said in a teasing tone.

'How mean'' Nupur said sadly.

'Arre..I was joking baba. Will I ever think that way?' He asked. She shook her head and smiled.

'Wow..ten days..so near..Im so excited.' Gunjan said hugging Nupur.

Nupur looked up to see Mayank. She raised her eye-brow. Mayank blinked in encouragement. She slowly smiled and hugged Gunjan back.

Samrat whispered a thank you to Gunjan while she smiled.

All three of them hugged.

'Me out of the family hug?' Mayank pouted looking at the three of them.

'Arre..apke liye to special place hai..' Samrat said moving away from Nupur and giving him space.

Mayank gave a sarcastic look and sat next to Nupur while she moved closer to Gunjan.

'Ab mujhse dur bhag kar..koi fayda nahin hai.' He whispered in her ear seriously. She looked up at him while he looked away and smirked. He loved irritating her.

'Bhai..Mom will be so happy na?' Gunjan said.

'Yeah..after spoiling my life..' He said quietly in a sarcastic tone.

'What?' Nupur asked.

'After..set..setlling my life.' He forced a smile and sighed. She nodded and looked away.

----------------------------------

The preparations were started full-on'ten days seemed a very less time. Mayank's room was getting renovated as per his mothers wishes..while Nupur was shopping every second without stop. Samrat was taking care of the food..and decorations..

He was at office when he got that call.

'Samrat come to Center City mall. Im waiting for you.' Gunjan said and hanged up. She knew Samrat was a bit upset since the last two days so she decided to let him relax and cheer him up.

'Arre but'' Samrat was going to say something. He went home quickly and changed into a t-shirt and jeans and left for the mall.

They met up at the basement.

'Samrat..today no wedding preparations talk. We are just going to enjoy today. And its my treat. Come. Lets go for a movie first.' She replied.

'Movie? Really?' He asked surprised.

'Ya..' She sighed. They went outside the movie booking and were deciding.

'Lets go for Dabbang..what say?' he asked. 'Actually..leave. You don't like action movies..'

Cutting him. 'I LOVE action films. Lets go.' She said excited.

'Wow..really?'

'Yup. Wait let me go buy the tickets.' She said heading towards the counter.

Pulling her behind. 'You stay here. Ill get them.'

'But''

'Ssssshh..' He hushed her and brought the tickets.

----------------------------

'No..Im not coming.' She said shivering.

Samrat laughed. 'Gunjan..its just the scary house. All fake. Comeee..' He pulled her inside. 'I always wanted to see what is inside..'

The scary house was a specially made house..of ghosts to scare people with supernatural sounds and visuals. It was in the mall.

They entered and the door shut. Even Samrat got a tad bit scared seeing the eerie atmosphere. They clutched hands together.

'I'.wanna..go..go..home..' Gunjan said scared.

'Keep..quiet..lets'go..' Samrat stammered.

It was pitch dark and they slowly went inside holding hands. A rubber snake fell on Gunjan as she screamed her lungs out..eyes shut. Her voice echoed. Even Samrat screamed hearing her voice. They looked at each other and giggled nervously.

'Be..be..brave.' Samrat said. She tried to nod.

They kept following the signs..and screaming at every ghost that scared them..every skelton that fell on them..and every animal that made sounds.

Samrat passed Gunjan water after they came out. 'Im never going there again! I hate youuu!' She said slapping his back.

He was giggling. 'Me too! Lets go..Im hungry.' Thinking.'Don't you think we should send Mayank Nupur here..alone and lock them.' He said laughing.

'Haha..ofcourse. Bhai wont get scared. He is very brave.'

'Nupur isn't..' He said giggling.

They were munching on the McD burgers and laughing as Gunjan was imitating Salman's dialogues from the film..when two of Gunjan's college friends came up to them.

'Hey Gunjan..who is he?' Sheetal asked.

'Sheetal..hi..he's my friend..' She forced a smile. 'Samrat that is Sheetal and Palak.' She was feeling awkward. The whole college would know now.

'Hey girls..would you like to join us..? Samrat offered.

'Nono we don't want to disturb your "private time"..' They said giggling.

'Yeah..so true. We hardly get time.' He said holding Gunjan's hand. 'Haina sweetheart?' He said grinning.

Gunjan was shocked. 'I..I..umm..we..'

'Oh then please..carry on..byeee'' They giggled and left.

'Samrat!! Why did you do that?' She shouted.

'Arre..you'll get some free publicity now..anyways these girls looked super dumb.' He said sipping coke.

She giggled. 'They are..VERY dumb.'

Samrat too laughed and they hi-fied.

---------------------------

Mayank was standing in the balcony of his room talking on the phone. 'Yes. I have spoken to the company manager. Its all up to him. Leave it I guess.'

Nupur entered in a jeans and kurti with a book of colour choices in her hand. Patting him. 'Mayank!!'

Irritated. 'Nupur..Im on an important call. Don't disturb me.' He whispered.

'See even before the wedding you forgot your promises. I..I..just hate you. I was always right.' She said angrily going away.

He caught her hand but still continued talking on the phone. He showed a two minutes to Nupur.

'Mayank..just leave my hand. I want to go.' He tightened the grip on her hand and pulled her close so that she wouldn't be able to run away. She kept trying to remove her hand..but was unable to..because of his strong grip. So she kept giving him angry glares.

Mayank finally cut the call in 2 mins..and looked at her. 'Right on time. Happy?'

'Im telling you Mayank..we are going to get divorced in one month!' She replied angrily.

In shock. 'What'? Nupur! We haven't even got married and you are talking about divorce. Your so filmy..' He said loosening the grip.

'Because I can predict the future..Aise chalta raha..so Im sure this will happen.' She said seriously.

'Okay Im sorry.' He switched of his phone and threw it on the bed. 'Happy?' He asked. She didn't reply. 'What is that in your hand. Show..' He took the colour book. They sat on the bed..with the book in the center.

'I want the room to be painted pink and blue.' She said in a cold tone.

'Pink and blue..?' He made a face. 'Yuck! No ways. Its not a kids room.' He said going through another page. 'Grey..yes this one.'

'Grey? Yuck. Its not some oldage couple's room.' She said making a face.

He glared at her. She glared back..he lowered his eyes. 'Okay..see this one.' It was reddish + grey.

She made a face of sadness. 'Mayank..tumhare colour choice kitni bakwas hai..'

'Fine! Then decide yourself.' He said angrily.

'Okay okay 'sorry. See this one.' She said trying to distract him.

'Nupur..see do whatever you want. Its fine with me. Im not really bothered about the colours and all. Our choices are never going to match.' He said giving her the book.

'Mayank'' She said slowly and caught his hands.

He felt some sort of different feeling in her eyes..of regret. Which he didn't want to give her. He smiled. 'Okay fine. Now we are going to sit calmly and decide without fighting. Okay?'

She left his hand and nodded smiling. She opened the book again..This time they decided on light blue and pastel grey. A mix of both their choice of colours.

'Done?' He asked.

'Yes!!' She said nodding happily. 'Ill just go and tell mom okay.' She said getting up.

'Okay..' He replied and lied down on the bed and closed his eyes.

'MAYANK!' Nupur screamed.

'Kya hua? Tum theek to ho?' He quickly got up and searched for her.

'Mayank..why are you sleeping? Get ready. We have to go shopping.'

'Nupur'!!' He groaned and lied down again.

'Mayank you have 5 minutes to get ready. Im coming. Get up.' She said pulling his arm.

Nupur was doing the interiors of the room herself..so she wanted to pick up..lots of stuff and made Mayank promise ..he would take her shopping. They went..and reached the Home Interiors store.

And then'''''.
