She tried closing her eyes but the only image she got was Mayank's smiling face and she instantly opened her eyes. She sat up trying think of something else but nothing else came up. She had this strange attraction towards him, now as they were friends she always wanted him by her side, and if he doesn't show up one day her day is incomplete. And even in the one years leap she always noticed his presence, and when he wasn't there she tend to wait for him unconsciously. Looking back at it now it seemed like she was always cared for him. And maybe she' loved him. She smiled at the thought... she did... love him...
Yes... I love you Mayank'. and as she confessed to herself a blush appeared'
~~~~~~~
Mayank other side was standing in the balcony in his flat. Looking at the stars, it was something in the air that made him feel complete. It was like someone had addressed him in a special way. He just couldn't stop smiling; his heart was at peace after so many days
It's been exactly a week since he had confessed to Nupur, and since then he had been upset. He didn't want to pressure her but he really wanted her to confess'And on top of that she was continuously avoiding him. He didn't just loose his love but also his best friend and that thought pricked him. She wants to. He stood there thinking about her answer' what if she said no..! No that can't be' her gestures proved to him that she loved him as much as he did... and most importantly her eyes they were the mirror of her soul' you could read through her by just looking into her eyes. They spoke volume and whenever I looked in them the only thing I see is love... only love... But what if he read them wrong' what if she only looked at him as a friend. He was lost in his own thoughts' He loved her... truly, deeply. And thinking of a life without her was now an impossible thought. He felt this strange pain at the thought of losing her. In a short span of time she had become a special part of him, he found a friend in her a leaning shoulder. Her smile warmed his heart, a comforting hug would make all his pains remorse. At night she would occupy his dreams and at day she would always be in front of him like a living dream. Just the thought of her melted his heart' after a lot of hide and seek with my feeling I can now say that I love Nupur Bhusan' I truly, deeply, madly do!
Upon arriving she looked around for Mayank, it was almost empty except for few students. At a corner she spotted Mayank sitting on bench he looked worried'was everything alright?
Pushing the thought aside she went and sat beside him, with a chirpy tone she greeted him. He was obviously worried, and he needed a friend, so put the shy behavior behind and help your friend Nupur thought.
Hey, Mayank' she said but was greeted with silence
She put her hand on his shoulder and that's when he looked up and their eyes met.
Mayank sab kuch theek hai na'she asked worried for him
Taking her hand off from his shoulder and holding it tight he finally spoke...
Nupur' he started and Nupur was keenly listening
Nupur' maine tumhe waqt diya hai na'
Thinking he probably wanted his answer she cut him off... Mayank woh' She started not sure what to say...
Shhh... Putting his finger on her lips, to stop her from talking he continued'
Nupur aaj mujhe bolne do, main tumse kuch kehna chahta hoon' aur yeh zaruri hai janha tumhare liye iss say pehle ke tum mujhe koi jawab do. He continued and Nupur looked at him with a confused expression, what does he want to talk about'
Mera naam Mayank Sharma hai... yeh toh tumhe pata hai na... She silently nodded, not knowing where all this was heading. Par kya tumhe yeh pata hai ke main Rudr Pratap Sharma ka beta hoon' Mayank Sharma.
He looked up to see her shocked expression as expected...
Rud'r..Ru'dr...Rudr' woh'aap' this is all she could utter, she couldn't believe her ears'
Looking at her he stood up continuing where he stopped...
Haan Nupur Rudr Pratap Sharma'My father'
"R.P.S Rudr Pratap Sharma' One of the biggest industrialists in India, but his business was spread all over the world. But he is not at all a good man, he has power, money and he misuses this as often he can. Everyone knows about his so called "business". He does illegal business, drugs, murders' The don of the underworld. He was often in the news but no one has any kind of proof against him, and those who have are afraid. Because of his "business" he's often dragged in court cases' and so on he knows Aditya Bhusan very well. And their rivalry is known by everyone. He had 4 sons, and a very loving wife, but unfortunately she could not stop him from doing what he does... And as father as sons, they grew up watching their father and so they grew up just like him. "
I know Nupur my father did a lot of bad things, but believe me I never liked any of this. But I can't help it, media will always link me up with my father... He continued'
Nupur on the other side was in a state of shock, she had heard of him from her father, he was a really bad man. And her father's worst enemy, because he wouldn't co-operate and flatly refused to fight his cases. And now getting to know that Mayank was his son' it was a real shock'
Looking at her still shocked Mayank continued.
Nupur I wanted to tell you this before you make any decision, I hope this piece of news won't influence your decision. But whatever your decision will be I'll accept it' I'll wait for it, but don't make me wait too long' with that he went away from there'
And Nupur just looked at him going, what was she going to do' who will she choose' if she chooses Mayank she will hurt her baba and if she chooses her baba Mayank will be hurt. Either way she has to hurt someone...
Do rahon ke darmiyan phasiy Nupur, kya faisla le ghi' apne dil ki sune ghi yah apne baba ki kahi baatein'?
What will be her final decision?
