PART 4
Days rushed by and her house was a place of constant chaos. Gunjan was too excited to sit for for then a minute, Mrs. Bushan was busy doing all the shopping and Nupur was forced to go along her. Mayank was busy with Mr. Bushan to monitor the arrangements of the wedding. Mayank wanted it to be a simple one but Mr. Bushan wanted it to be such that the whole town remembers it for years.
…………………………………
Finally Nupur's wedding day arrived. Gunjan was helping her with the dressing and constantly chattering with her too.
Gunjan: " dii! App to aj itne ache lag rahe hain..jiju to talli ho jaen gay ap per."
Nupur smiled at her sister. Her whole family was bursting with joy… the aura of happiness was effecting her too but she was too nervous to take any notice of it.
Five days ago Nupur came to know that it was Mayank who proposed for her. what she was unable to understand was.. why? Why would Mayank want to marry her? he was rich and …well he was rather handsome too, Nupur had to give him that credit … why he had to ask for her when he could get anyone? Moreover it wasn't a hidden truth that she disliked him …
The only conclusion she was able to draw was that Mayank was fond of her family and that is why he decided to marry her. her mind calmed by the thought that she was finally able to answer the question which was haunting her , she went after her raging heart. She respected Mayank for everything and specially after what he did for her she really looked up to him but what about the thing she always believed to be the integral part of a marriage? What about the difference in her and Mayank… she was still caught up in these questions until her wedding night finally arrived.
………………………………….
She was sitting in the room…her room as she corrected herself…their room , she corrected yet again.
Mayank lived in a grand double story house. When Nupur firsty time saw it she was shocked to find it was exactly like her dream house . the house was surrounded by gardens beautifully kept.
The room was dimly lit with candles and fragrance of flowers scattered everywhere , created a very romantic aura in the room but Nupur was busy fighting with her nerves. Her nerves had always been real good friends of hers and have avoided giving her problems but tonight was an exception. Her mind and heart were constantly having a heated debate. Her mind wanted her to run away..why should she be sitting here all dressed up waiting for a man she wasn't in love with….but her heart had other views. It remended her of her mother..her sister..her father.. how happy they were for her.. above all it reminded her of the favour Mayank did.. her hear t knew Mayank was a good person.. his heart wante dto trust him and accept the life as fate decided for her…
She was still trying to decide to take sides when she heard the creak of the door. Mayank's confident footsteps made her aware of his presence. For a moment Nupur felt like running. What was she doing with a man she knew so little. The man was going to be the owner of her life.. her heart… her body.. she shuddered at the thought.
……………………………………..
Mayank came and sat beside Nupur. her face was completely covered with pallu. he removed the pallu which made his fingers come into contact with Nupur's cheeks… the contact made Nupur's heart beat fast. She felt a shiver run down her spine. She shrank away from the contact.
Mayank felt it and his face hardened.
Mayank: " Nupur…"
He touched her shoulder and she shivered all over.
Mayank : " Nupur… whats the matter? U…"
Nupur looked up at him and he saw the fear in her eyes…. fear … of him???
Mayank: " nupur…"
Nupur: " Mayank please….. i…. I need… I need time…"
Mayank was still shocked by the fear he had witnessed in Nupur's eyes. he hasn't intented to force his husband rights on her that night. He knew she needed time and he understood that but the fear in her eyes disturbed him.
Nupur's eyes were still imploring. He realized she was waiting for his reply… her husband's reply…. This further disturbed Mayank… he was unaware of what was going in Nupur's mind.. why was she so frightened.. moreover why .. why she needed permission?
Mayank: " Nupur you can take your time…"
Before he could say anything else he was caught up by her smile… she looked so beautiful.. he promised himself to always keep her like that.. smiling…
To grant him space he changed first and cmae to lie on the left side of the bed…
While she was in the washroom he tried to lost himself in sleep but Nupur's fear kept on haunting him…
It was long after he heard the slow, deep breathing of Nupur lying beside him that he was finally able to fall asleep…..
