PART 5:
It was 9pm. Mayank and Gunjan were still there after having the dinner. They didn't wish to speak to anyone. Gunjan was sitting on the sofa. She was reading the book which was lying there. Mayank was staring out through the window. He was holding a glass of fresh juice. He was not drinking it. He was lost in his thoughts. Nupur was passing by. She saw him. She took a long breathe and went near him.
"Mayank" she called in a low voice. She was kinda scared of him.
Mayank turned "Yes Nupur!"
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Why are you talking in a low voice?" he chuckled.
Nupur felt so embarrassed. She got irritated "Well that's not the answer!" She screamed.
"Ok now chill!" he tried to calm her. "I was just thinking!" he continued.
"Well what?" she asked.
"Its nothing!" he shaked negative.
Nupur understood that he needs his space so she changed her topic.
"Do u remember the day when u saved me from killing someone?" she asked.
"You mean the day when you got to know about my powers?" he asked.
"why is he like this?" she thought but she calmed herself.
"Yeah!" she smiled.
"Well it is not a big deal you know!" he said rubbing his head.
"No Mayank if it was not for you then I would have committed a big crime. I mean I would have never forgiven myself'" She became all serious.
"Hey relax. If that guy hadn't come in the middle then you would have got hurt!"he said.
" But Mayank, If I got hurt I wouldn't have felt guilt but I can't see humans getting hurt because of my actions!" she said. These words of her which she said with innocence reached Mayank's heart. He enjoyed talking to her but he didn't show it out. He stiffened.
"Then you shouldn't have gone to pub late night!" he looked at her with concern.
" After that incident I have never stayed late nights in pub!" she said.
"Really?" he grinned.
"Well I will stay late but not that late" she chuckled. Those two laughed. Nupur saw him laughing. He was laughing to the fullest.
"Well I m seeing u laughing for the first time Mayank!" she added.
Mayank stopped laughing. He looked at her. He realized that she is not bad but good at heart. He felt like sharing his feelings with her.
"U know wat Nupur! Life Is never as simple as it seems!" he said. Nupur listened his words keenly.
" I lost my mother and father!" he said but he didn't cry. He looked strong.
"Mayank it will become simple if you share it. Make friends Mayank!" she smiled.
Mayank didn't utter a word. He just smiled at her.
"Now have your drink!" she said.
"Yeah I will!" Mayank drank it.
"I will leave now. I have to clean the table!" she added.
"Wait let me help!" he said.
Nupur was surprised but gave a pleased look. Then those two went to the dinning room. They didn't speak that much but found happiness in staying together. May be it is the foundation for a new friendship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gunjan was sitting and reading a book. It was related to magic. It was a serious book. It had no fun except for some history related to magic. Samrat came there. He saw her lost in her book. She was looking so serious.
"Why is she behaving like this?" he said and went near her. He was holding a cup of coffee. Nupur told him to give it to her as she knew that Gunjan will never ask anything. He went and sat near. He was waiting for her to turn. But she didn't bother to the slightest. She was just reading and reading. He was holding his patience. It went on for 10minutes. That's it! He was unable to take it.
"Gunjan!" he called. No response. " Gunjan!" he went near her ears and screamed. Gunjan looked with a jerk. She was completely scared. They were so close. Samrat was lost in her eyes and vice versa. Samrat found pain in those beautiful eyes which looked like a ocean with no ending. Gunjan never saw a guy this close. Though she was brought up in London she always stayed solitary and avoided guys except for Mayank who was a great friend. Gunjan saw concern in Samrat's eyes for her. He was just starting at her. Then soon they realized it and stepped back. Gunjan moved and sat. Samrat found this act of her to be cute. He smiled.
"What are you doing here?" she asked feeling uncomfortable.
"I brought you coffee!" he said giving it to her.
She took a sip "It is cold!" she said.
"Well it will! I was waiting for you to come out of that boring book for nearly 10 minutes!" he said making a sad face.
"I m sorry! But this book is not boring!" she added. Samrat really liked her attitude. She was stiff and never changed her likes and dislikes for others sake. She was just Gunjan! A simple girl who always lived in her own world. Samrat turned towards her and was surprised to see her staring at him.
"Wat?" he asked.
"You should say!" she smiled.
Samrat realized that he didn't give his reply. But he felt warm suddenly on seeing her smile. It made her look more beautiful. He snapped out of his thoughts.
"Oh ok! The book is not boring" Gunjan smiled "But it is not interesting either!" he continued. Gunjan gave an angry look.
"Ok now don't become angry young woman again!" he said.
"Angry?" she was shocked. Samrat laughed.
"Stop it Samrat! I m not an angry person!" Samrat widened his eyebrows.
"I m serious Samrat!" she was shocked by his reaction.
"Ok prove it!" he said. Gunjan nodded.
"Hmm we will be together for a day.." Samrat said.
"wat?" Gunjan got angry.
"Don't get angry!" he laughed " let me continue. We will spend time together for a day and you prove that you are not an angry person!" Samrat said.
Gunjan was too innocent. She just nodded her head. Her determination to prove herself didn't see that Samrat did all this to get her know better.
"I will prove you Samrat! Lets go tomorrow!" She said.
Samrat just enjoyed her expressions "Ok! I will tell you tomorrow where we will be going!" He said.
"Ok!" Then they got up and went to the dinning room.
They joined the others. Mayur were doing the cleaning stuffs.
"Let me help" said Gunjan and joined them. The other three were shocked but happy to see improvement in her. Samrat also joined them. Nupur saw Gunjan somewhere in her heart she always had soft corner for her and was happy to see her smiling and mingling with others. Gunjan looked up and saw Nupur. Nupur came out of her thoughts and gave a big smile which Gunjan also returned.
Mayank was cleaning a plate with a towel accidentally his hand slipped. Samrat caught hold of it. Sayank just stared at each other.
"Thanks" said Mayank.
"You are welcomed" said Samrat.
Then they continued with their work without speaking. Later Mayank and Gunjan left to their home waving good bye. Mayank and Gunjan were walking on the road.
"Gunjan! How did you feel today?" asked Mayank.
" Sorry I didn't get it Mayank!" she said.
"I m talking about dinner!" he said.
"Well it was nice Mayank" she added.
"And?"
"That's it! It was nice!" she said.
Then they walked silently to their respective homes. But they were kinda happy from inside. They didn't think of any pain that night but they slept peacefully.
