Chapter Twenty-Two(b)
She woke up Mayank and with the sudden movement in Mayank's body; Rahul too woke up and started weeping. Mayank, without even saying anything took Rahul up in his arms and put him against his chest with his head on his shoulder and shacked himself a little so that he stops weeping. After he stopped weeping, Mayank gave Rahul to Nupur.
While she took Rahul in her hands, she told Mayank that it was 7 in the morning and he had to go and get ready for the office. Mayank went inside the bathroom and came out wearing his usual businessman stuff.
Nupur put Rahul on bed because she knew Mayank still didn't have learned how to tie his tie. Without Mayank saying a word, Nupur turned him towards her and started tying his tie's knot. Mayank was shocked.
Nupur: Aise kya dekh rahe ho?
Mayank: Tumhe kaise pata tha ke mujhe tie bandhni hai?
Nupur: Pichle almost aik saal se yeh tie baandh rahi hoon, kaise nahi pata hoga?
She pulled his cheeks.
Nupur: Aise kya dekh rahe ho office nahi jana?
Mayank: Nahi... main toh kehta hoon ke aaj ghar pe hi enjoy karte hain.
Nupur: Ghar pe? Paghal ho gaye ho? Chalo... office ke liye deir ho rahi hai.
Mayank: Nahi naa...
He went close to her, and Rahul started weeping again. Nupur left Mayank and went to Rahul, and made Rahul quite.
Mayank muttered: Yeh Rahul bhi na... 2 minute bardasht nahi hota ke iske mummy papa ka attention idher udher ho jaye. Attention seeker.
Nupur heard what he said.
Nupur: Tumhara hi beta hai.
Mayank: Kya?
Nupur: Jaise tumhe har waqt attention chahiye waise isse bhi har waqt attention chahiye... main toh phass gayi hoon tum dono ke darmeyan.
Mayank jokingly said: Toh Rahul ke liye aik aur mummy le ayen?
He winked and laughed.
Nupur: Acha? Rahul ke papa ne agar aisa kiya toh...
Mayank: Toh?
Nupur: Rahul ki mummy se maar khayen ge, hai na Rahul?
She winked at Rahul.
Mayank looked at her with an adorable naughty expression and then looked at his watch, which clicked 7:30 am.
Mayank: Oh my God! Main late ho raha hoon Nupur. Bye.
He kissed Nupur's cheek and then kissed Rahul before leaving.
Nupur: Breakfast toh karo...
Mayank stood on the staircase.
Mayank: Meeting ke baad karoon ga Nupur.
Nupur: Mayank aaj Karvachaut nahi hai.
She said jokingly remembering what happened on Karvachaut.
Mayank: Janta hoon Nupur... but seriously ab time nahi hai. Meeting bohot zaruri hai.
Nupur: Acha suno...
He stopped again and looked back with irritated looks.
Mayank: Ab kya hai?
Nupur: I love you.
She said while looking here and there so that no one catches her saying that.
Mayank: Oye hoye! Kya baat hai... waise 200.
Nupur: Kya?
Mayank: Tumhare I love you ka count Nupur.
He winked and Nupur smiled.
Mayank: Waise... I love you too. Bye...
He said as he ran outside in a hurry.
Nupur muttered: Paghal hai.
She smiled and went inside the room.
The night Mayank came back and found Nupur and Rahul sleeping.
He felt bad, as there had never been a day in their married life when Nupur wasn't there to take his brief case and give him a kiss when he was back. Though it was almost twelve at night but still he expected Nupur to be awake for him.
He went and took his shoes off. But, in a while he was shaken with a sudden jerk.
He was hugged from backside. He looked back and found Nupur behind him.
Nupur: Happy Wedding Anniversary.. *pause* Rahul ke papa.
She said winking.
Mayank hugged her in happiness. Happiness, a strange feeling, one year of togetherness, one year of understanding eachother, one year of being there for eachother, one year since they were tied in the eternal knot, one year.. ah! Beautiful one year, memories, gifts, love and care.
Mayank: Happy Wedding Anniversary Mrs.Mayank!
He laughed a little.
Nupur broke the hug,
Nupur: Ruko.. main abhi ayi.
Mayank: Kahan jaa rahi ho?
Nupur: Ayi na..
Nupur went outside. Mayank kept on waiting for two minutes. Before she was to enter, she said "Mayank ankhein bandh karo.."
Mayank: Kyun?
Nupur: Kyun matlab? Bandh karo na!!
Mayank closed his eyes. "Kar li.. ab ander aa jao na!" Mayank said with curiosity.
Nupur: Ankhein kholo..
He opened his eyes and saw a chocolate cake in front of him.
Mayank: Nupur.. yeh cake.. mera favorite hai.
Nupur: Maine bake kiya..
Mayank: Kya?
Nupur: Maine bake kiya.
Mayank: Are you like.. serious!!
Nupur: Han. Maine match-box rakha tha yahin kahin..
She started searching for a match-box. Mayank then noticed a strange big mark on her hand.
Mayank: Nupur..
Nupur looked up and tried to hide her finger while trying to press it between her palms.
Mayank: Woh kya hai?
Nupur: Kya?
She tried to hide.
Mayank: Nupur, haath dikhao.
He forcefully took her hand in his hand and opened it.
Mayank: Yeh kya hua!
He said with all concern on his face.
Nupur: Thoda sa jal gaya.
Mayank: Isse tum thoda kehti ho? Oh my GOD!
He kissed her hand.
Mayank: Kaise jala?
Nupur: Chodo na Mayank.
Mayank: Kya matlab? Nupur.. kaise jala?
He gave her a tough and harsh look.
Nupur: Aise hi..
Mayank: Nupur.. tum mujhse chupa rahi ho? Seedhe seedhe batao.
Nupur: Woh, cake banate hue, saath mein tumse phone pe baat kar rahi thi na, aur phir khayal hi nahi raha ke maine cake oven se baghair gloves ke nikalne ki koshish ki.
Mayank felt so lucky to have her. She was more concerned to ask him did he eat anything in office rather than putting gloves on while putting her hand in the hot oven.
He brought her hand near his lips and kissed it again.
Mayank: Tum bhi na Nupur..
Mayank said with a sad tone.
Nupur: Mayank kuch nahi hai..
Mayank: Kya kuch nahi hai.. khabardaar ayenda se aise careless bani toh..
Nupur: Bani toh kya karo ge?
Nupur said in a naughty tone.
Mayank: Rahul ke liye nayi mummy..
Before he could say more, Nupur interrupted.
Nupur: Maar khao ge, tum bhi aur woh nayi *mummy* bhi.
Both of them giggled.
