@all...sorry for taking so much time to update...hope u'll are not dis-appointed coz most of u'll had anticipated something which is not a part of this update...i am loving to write this story😆
Part 5 :
Mayank walked upto Nupur and she put her hand forward and stood in a defensive stance when Mayank gave her a look which said 'Did-she-really-think-i-would-do-that' and said, "Nupur...itni tezi se pehle sochti toh koi aur idea bhi soojh jaata...main toh bas...yeh keh raha tha..." his tone slowly changed from sarcasm to suggeting an unwelcoming idea to him, "Ke tum apna shoe size bata do...main koi bhi shoe le aata hoon uss size ka..." and stood there expecting a thanks from her again.
Nupur started speaking loudly, "Aise kaise koi bhi shoe...shoe toh main sabse achcha choose karke leti hoon..." when slowly her voice smoothened at his words, "Are you serious?...chahiye ke nahi...aur baaki agar aap itna hi choose karti hain toh yeh kaise..." and he indicated towards her shoes which looked new still but were torn already.
Nupur defended, "Yeh toh maine design ke basis pe liya tha...waise bhi uss dukaan wale ne mujhe 6 month ki guarantee di thi...par toot gaya...warna mai usually..."
Mayank shaked his head as he smirked and stopped her words by saying, "Dekho Nupur, mujhe tumhare categories of choices janne mein koi interest nahi hai...ek toh tumhe thankful hona chahiye ki main itna kar raha hoon...aur tum ho ki demands pe demands kiye jaa rahi ho!" he made it very clear to her what she must be thinking according to him and she saw Mayank's help retreating away with another slight mistake of hers while she tried to ask things as if it was her right to ask it from him but soon realizing the obscure natured person, neither very good and not even bad, standing in front of her she quickly said a bit dis-appointed, "Nahi...tumhe jaise chahiye lekar aao...main chala loongi..." then looking at him added "Thanks" inspite of herself and it did bring an expression on his face which said 'Now-you-are-talking-sense' and he left after she showed him the size of her shoe by turning the shoe in her hand upside down and he realised that may be she didn't even remember what sized shoe she wore and shaking his head he moved ahead across the street.
Within 10 minutes, he was gone and back to her handling her the packet of her interest. She smiled wide when she opened the box and found that he had bought an exclusive pair of decent sandals looking at which all her verve returned back to her and she gave an impressive nod and smiling said, "Not bad Mayank...yeh toh bahot achche hain...Thanks!" she completed her words with a wide and a contented smile which made Mayank look at her for a second as he thought how easy it was for him to replace her earlier frown with this beautiful smile on her face which suited her perfectly. He managed to say, "Its okay...ab chalo...thoda aage se hamein dusri auto mil jayegi..."
Nupur looked at him speaking realising she had completely forgotton her main subject of displease being 'how she would reach home with ease' only a while ago.
She smiled to him as she wore the new ones and putting the old ones in the packet she started walking with Mayank, trying to keep pace with him when he walked as if taking double steps at a time, with utmost ease. She looked up at him and said, "Mayank...inki price kya hai?" as she remembered she had to pay for her own shoes now.
Mayank answered, "550/-..." he didn't want to take it back from her and didn't know how to say 'no' to her because he never did it with anyone else since he always believed in being clear in terms of money.
Nupur quickly knew she would have haggled over the price, it it were her buying it when she asked , "Aur tumne kitne mein liye?"
Mayank repeated, "Kaha naa 550/-"
Nupur quickly said as if almost shocked why hadn't he himself argued for the price with her expressions evident quite clearly on her face, "Aur tumne de diye?...Mayank tumhe thoda argue karna chahiye tha naa...main kehti hoon woh 400/- mein toh de hi deta"
Mayank looked at her in disbelieve and said, "Nupur, main street shopping ke liye nahi gaya tha...woh renowned shop thi..."
Nupur tried to sound reasonable, "Par office mein meri friend Ayesha toh kehti hai ki Mumbai mein bargaining karna utna hi aasan hai jitna Morena mein hota tha..."
Mayank smirked and replied , "Tumhari dost hai, tum ussi se pooch lena...aur agli baar ussi ko saath le aana..." then a little unsure of the idea that had striked him now he added, "Rehne do, isse meri taraf se gift samajh lo...par ab iss shoes ke topic ko band karo...aisa lag raha hai achanak se jaise duniya mein isse jyada important issue hi nahi bacha hai..."
He was almost irritated with himself for having finally given that idea a voice and not being his usual self who avoided any incomplete money business with almost anyone.
Nupur was not sure if she should insist on giving back the money just now, but considering Mayank's irritation, she let that aside for the while and thought of not speaking much and stood there silently with him until another auto approached them to take them towards station.
They were sitting in silence when Nupur reached for a chocolate in her bag and a bit thoughtfully, but still not apprehensive of the fixed and composed anger on his face that stayed there generally, she offered him almost half of her cadbury and he took it without any protesting glance while she smiled to herself for it was fun to watch his changing yet stable reactions to her. She still didn't speak until they reached station and as she came out of the auto she looked at him inquisitively and he replied, "Main...ghar tak auto mein hi jaaunga...bye!"
Nupur gave her share of fare and looked at Mayank with a wide smile . She didn't seem to be angry with him now, even at his rude or trying-to-be-indifferent looks and said, "Mayank...Thanks...take care" and said a soft 'Bye' to him while her attention was diverted when her cell rang and she said, "Bauji...Pranaam...maine bhi aapko bahut miss kiya..."
Mayank managed a small smile back to her before her words took him from his present smile to back in time...
