When U Say Nothing At All, MN, Pt 7 Pg27 19Jun - Page 19

So our brave hero is all set to meet his heroine .While he makes his way to her heart (erm, city more like!) we get a peek into their thoughts. Now, now, don't ask me if that wasn't what you were getting all along? The answer is no. No? I can hear at least some of you ask, smirking no less (do u realize how Nupurish you are? ). Well No is my answer! You hear their version, they make it look like its all fun and more fun. It isn't always so, they are normal people, you see, so they feel all sorts of complex emotions. They just don't choose to tell YOU! (now look who is smirking..!).

Mayank settled himself down into his reclining seat and closed his eyes lightly (Always makes day dreaming easier don't you think?) while Nupur had to keep her eyes well open so as not to be thrown out of class.

Vulnerable and Strong

Its strange how things work in life, but the first time he met her was in total contradiction to the strong nature that she possessed. It was the vulnerability he saw in her eyes that had him spell bound for a fleeting moment. He had been confused and clueless on how to react to her as her saved her from a men's loo. She had left just like that, before he could react. He was unsettled, something that had never happened before.

She had never thanked him for saving her the first time. She was too vulnerable at that time, definitely not her best moment but she had seen concern in the eyes of her savior. Unable to react after an ordeal of the unexpected kind, she had left, without a thank you.

The next time was definitely her strong moment! He had received a biting response for his sarcasm when she fell into his arms. Unbelievably, she was the complete anti-thesis to the swooning heroine, she often pictured herself to be. By simply standing her ground she shook him up.

He never once tried to charm, that was what was charming about him. He din't want a girl falling into his arms. He was perfectly happy in his world of books, thank you very much.

Listen guys, you may not admit it, but to us it was pretty obvious that you both would fall for each other, had to, otherwise, what is the point of this story? Sorry, meant to say, what is the point of the fates conspiring to bring you together that way?

Our first dance

I know you wanted it badly, I just dint want to let you down!

When you came to that dance audition, I couldn't believe my luck.

I lost myself in you for a moment there just after we danced.

I was lost more than once, first you come, then you make me dance to your tunes and literally sweep me off my feet and expect me to not fall for you?

Sorry for interrupting, but hey where am I interrupting, you guys are not even having a conversation, technically . Its just your individual thoughts . why does it seem like a conversation? Telepathy? D'uh!

The change

She was the change in his life, when she was upset, he tried to cheer her up. Took her to a beach, ended up having more fun than he could imagine.

He had broken the mold, complimented her even for being the reason he had taken a break from studies.

Ok, I want to know, why does our hero forget to mention the incredibly long phone call preceded by a huge round of embarrassing questions by his- too smart for his good -mom?

A single Lie

That broke my heart it did. I had trusted you.

It broke my heart too. I apologized you dint accept it.

I had never been so broken. I know I was wrong.

You still came for the final dance. I couldn't have been more grateful!

hmm Why do I feel like I'm over hearing a private conversation. I don't even feel like joking, I'm so gonna lose my readers. Sigh.

The First Fight

They say the first s are special. The first hug, the first kiss etc etc. By that parameter, this was special too, they had fought and fought with passion.

He could not forgive her after having his trust broken. He had trusted her way too much, she had made more space in his heart than anybody else other than his mother had done all his life, in a matter of days. It was like a heart break except he was not in love. Not just yet. At least that's what he thought.

She knew she made a mistake, she had corrected it , she had done everything in her power to make him realize it. She had apologized endlessly. He was ruthless in his denial of her apology, she was not to stand for his high-handed ways.

The way you both fight *Shakes head* , makes us want to bang our heads somewhere, you dint notice the obvious then dint you? Not to mention, you still haven't noticed it. Baah! * shakes head more vigorously*

When you challenge me like that!

Nobody had EVER challenged me in studies. EVER.

I hadn't challenged anybody in studies either!

Well yes, but you did.

Yes, I don't really think it was the best move I made.

Trust me, it was. It made me respect you, especially when you started taking your challenge very seriously.

Valid point there Mr Sharma, we are not about to forget the look of reverence *giggle* on your face when she gave that wonderful answer in class. *Some more giggles* not to mention that she nearly beat you dint she? 2 marks, that was way too close for comfort eh?

The Trip

Well the trip changed everything between them. Slowly and steadily they had begun to appreciate each other, little by little. Just the change in scenery had caused them to spend more time looking into each other's eyes ' even while outwardly professing strongest dislike towards the other person.

oh yes, we did notice that the hate had tapered off to dislike *raises eyebrows* . Interesting the way she falls right into you and you forget to stop looking at each other. Haven't you seen Dil hai ki manta nahi Ms Bhushan? Friend eh? *scoffs*

Nupur was jolted out of her reverie with the end of class bell, while Mayank was woken upon from his day dream by an unexpected sudden brake.

Now that the hero and heroine are no more thinking of each other, what do we do here? Ok tho phir milte hai break ke baad..!
