The journey was now interesting for both of them, both now had a company to accompany them through a sinking boat which was taking them to nowhere. Both felt like they were in a company of a person who understands them completely. But destiny, they didn't know where destiny will lead them to a good future? Or someone like Sameer or Roshni'd make their life miserable by entering into it. They had only one answer and the answer was a solution itself, Wait that was the thing they could've done or can say that was in their control. The journey passed.. Nupur and Mayank's talks didn't end, none of them slept during the journey, they were so busy telling eachother their own stories. Their was nothing so interesting in their talks, they had been repeating the same betrayal story throughout but they didn't know why, telling eachother the story everytime was making them feel even better. Mayank and Nupur didn't know what was next? What was gonna happen in Mumbai? They knew nothing.. What they knew was that they had got a new but beautiful company. The bus had now reached to its destination, each and every passenger will now go in their own ways, some left some right, but where were these two strangers going? They even didn't know.
Mayank:Acha Nupur, You have my phone number right?
Nupur:Han! I have it!
Mayank:Call me if you need me anywhere, maine suna tha keh yahan Mumbai mein chor, dakoo, badmaash aur lafange bhi bohot hote hain, just call me if there's an emergency.
Nupur:Ok, main apko call kar doon gi.
She smiled.
Mayank:Aik aur baat..
Nupur:Kya hua?
Mayank:You can call me 'tum' rather than 'ap'
Nupur:Ok.. So Mayank ap, I mean tum ab yahan se kahan jao ge.
Mayank:Lets see, where destiny leads me.
Nupur:Itna believe, destiny mein?
Mayank:Nahi, destiny par se toh yakeen kabka uth gaya, yakeen ab tak hai, God par, aur destiny bhi toh unhi neh toh banayi hai, I mean sab ki likhi hai.
Nupur:You are really religious?
Mayank:Believing in God doesn't mean I am deeply religious, its just that keh God mein yakeen tabse badh gaya, jabse unho neh meri life do achi changes la dii..
Nupur:Konsi changes?
Mayank:First main uss Roshni se bach gaya, and second, You! You are a great companion.
Nupur:Aww, thanks! Waise toh Sameer namak disaster se bach kar main bhi bohot khush hoon.
Mayank:Han, chehre se dikh raha hai.
Nupur:Chehre se? Kya dikh raha hai chehre se? I mean, tumhe mere chehre keh expressions mein kuch change lag raha hai kya?
Mayank:Han, change toh dikh raha hai, pehle kadoo jaise expressions the, aur ab blush karte hue aik dam strawberry lag rahi ho.
Both giggled.
But there, In Simla, something else was going on, in Malhotra mansion, everything was ready and barat was even ready to go, Mayank's parents were ready for their son's wedding, the guests and parents were now waiting for the groom to come downstairs. The wedding preparations had kept parents too busy that they were even unable to see/meet their son since the morning.
They kept on waiting for half an hour, Shilpa sent Mayank's friends upstairs to bring him down but they even didn't come down too, Shilpa was now fed up, she went upstairs to bring Mayank herself, and what she was, no Mayank and his friends sitting their shocked.
Shilpa:Wheres Mayank?
One of Mayank's friend spoke,
His Friend:We don't know, ham bas abhi aye and we found out that Mayank wasn't here.
Shilpa:Oh my God! Wo kahan gaya? Mayank! Mayank!
She searched everywhere, in the balcony, inside the washroom, in his dressing room, everywhere. Then she noticed Roshni's picture which was there, broken!
Shilpa went downstairs and told Mayank's dad, Subhash Malhotra everything. Subhash was a strict man by nature.
Subhash:Mayank!! Huh!! What did you do!! You hurted everyone!! Everyone! Us, your parents! Specially the girl whose ready as a bride and is waiting for you, Huh Mayank!!
Shilpa:Koi problem hui hogi, Mayank aisa nahi hai, we know that.
Subhash:Mayank kaisa hai yeh main aj jaan gaya, bohot buzdil tha wo Shilpa, apne faisle par khada nahi ho paya. Ab ham sabko kya jawab denge? Sabko chodo, ham Roshni se kya kahen ge? Han?
After sometime, when everyone came to know about Mayank had fled away, they informed Roshni and Roshni's parents. Roshni created a big big drama their, crying badly.
Roshni:Maine pehle hi kaha tha Mom, Dad! Mayank isn't that trustworthy, ap logon neh meri engagement Mayank kara di, yeh jante hue bhi... Ab main sabko kya moo dikhaoon gi? Mayank dhoke baaz nikla!! Mayank dhoke baaz nikla!!
But behind this drama their were her alltime evil thoughts.
There in Nupur's house, everything was ready, the mandap, everything. But Nupur's cousins and friends came down running to Rachna.
Rachna:Arre kya hua? Nupur kahan hai?
The cousin:Pata nahi, ham kabse dhoondh rahe hain, kamre mein bas Sameer ki tasveer giri padi hai aur baaki sab, Nupur ki almarian bhi khali hain!
Rachna:Mujhe pehle se hi lagta tha, wo ladki! Usne ham sab ko dhoka diya hai.
She went to Nupur's dad and explained him everything, he got tempered.
Suresh:Yeh kya bol rahi ho Rachna!!
Rachna:Main sahi keh rahi hoon ji..
Suresh:Wo ladki!! Ab ham kya karen Rachna? Baraat aati hi hogi!
Rachna:Pata nahi ji, Nupur! Yeh tune kya kiya?
Suresh:Ham Sameer aur uske khandaan walon ko kya jawab den ge?!
Unfortunately the things went the same as Nupur expected, Sameer came to know about it, and started putting bad obligations on Nupur.
There, Nupur and Mayank went to their different destinations, they didn't know that what more had destiny stored for them. They continued with thereselves. Lets see will destiny bring Mayank and Nupur more closer, or will take them further away.
*End*
