@all...i hope i am not moving very fast this time contrary to my so slow speed in the previous FF😆 but the story is about to begin😃
Part 8 :
Mayank and Nupur walked in silence for a while and Nupur spoke up suddenly when she was no longer able to hold the silence anymore. Mayank was almost pleased to hear her speak again, strangely he was out of his 'tolerating-someone-just-coz-i-have-to' zone as Nupur spoke, "Mayank tumhe shaanti itni kyun pasand hai...ByGod apne muh ko rest de kar kuch milta hai kya?"she completed a little loudly and a little irritated.
Mayank smirked at the thing that bothered her and replied, " Waise muh ko rest dene se dimaag ko shanti milti hai...you know Peace of mind...jo aam logon ke kaafi kaam aati hai...jo tumhare liye shayad naya hai"and walked looking ahead as if the conversation had already ended but he surely knew it was not about to end just now. He liked once again being himself and answering her back.
Nupur rolled her eyes at his words and observed him for a while, trying hard to ignore his distractingly handsome face, she concentrated on his attitude and expressions and drawing out a conclusion she said, "Mayank ByGod...mujhe aaj tak kissi ne itna naa pasand nahi kiya hai jitna ki tumne...maano jaise pichle janam mein tumse koi dushmani thi meri...tum sab ke saath aisa hi behave karte ho ya phir mere chehre par shek-chilli likha hai" she asked finally what had bothered her and had not let her think beyond these lines.
Mayank was taken aback by her words and the way she was taking in his normal reactions, which by the way were a little doped for her, but he admitted to himself, he was not liking what he had heard about him from her.
He was irritating her from what he saw in her reactions and her way of asking told him that it was a 'Now-or-never' for them at the moment. Did he really want to never talk to her and get rid of her, he wondered. But if he continued the same, she may never know the real him and he may not see more of her. He didn't want to loose onto 'this' which probably by far had amounted to nothing, but it still was an existent thing which he didn't want to completely let go of.
He looked in her eyes and trusting the innocence in them with belief that it shouldn't turn out artificial as he had seen some people turn so in recent years, he spoke up with a soft laugh, "Waise toh main sabke saath aise hi behave karta hoon...par tumse shayad dushmani ho sakti hai pichle janam ki, wahi main samajh nahi paa raha hoon...chalo, tumhari baat hi sahi...Miss Shek- chilli" and chuckled at how it sounded from his own mouth.
Nupur shaked her head in dis-belief, this man was becoming more mysterious and was perplexing her more and more by every minute. She laughed back along with him as she noticed his laughter had a strange soothing effect on her. Why was he so himself, totally unfathomable, yet seemed good and right to her. She stated what she felt, "Mayank...tum bilkul pal mein tola aur pal min masha ho!"
Mayank asked chuckling, "Pal mein kya?"
Nupur answered as if explainig him the meaning of him, "Pal mein tola pal mein masha...matlab pal mein lagta hai ki koi tumhe tol sakta hai" then looking at his expression she clarified her words, "measure kar sakta hai...dictator ki ek aur copy..." and laughing continued, "aur doosre hi pal masha...matlab samundar(Sea) jaise ki tum koi bhi ho sakte ho...has bol bhi sakte ho, muskura bhi sakte ho, madad bhi kar sakte ho..."
Mayank laughed out loudly suddenly, surprising her and said, "Kya?...itna mat socho Nupur...aaj ke tumhare sochne ka quota pura ho jaayega..."
Nupur pointed a finger at him and said, "Dekha...issi tarah...phir rang badla na tumne girgit ki tarah"
Mayank was now enjoying her varied considerations. But he was stunned at her words, a little reaction from his side and she had started to dissect his different reactions to people diffrently.
Nupur looked at him with an amused smile setting aside her further questions for now, it wasn't needed now, she thought. Maybe this was him, wanting a pull 'out of himself' to share smiles and words.
She suddenly declared, "Ab hamare yahaan se routes alag ho jayenge naa Mayank...bye"
Mayank looked at the road startled. This was the first time he HAD to be informed about the focus on road and more so, the conversation felt incomplete to him. He tried to smile and said, "Bye" while their roads diverted and knowing her a little in regards to the problems she landed herself in always, he looked back to see if she had crossed well on this 4 way road and then turned back to the road he had desired to go to.
His morning woes of managing the heavy work load today was suddenly lessened for now. He reminded himself that nothing special had actually happened as he analysed, maybe it was just coz he had today allowed himself to let go a little. He wondered whether he was seeking a friend in her, a girl totally not fitting his parameters, but still just that somehow. He yet again thought of not giving it a thought furthermore and moved his mind to work at hand.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been a few days Mayank and Nupur had not accidentally met again, neither did his Ma speak of her daily accounts anymore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shilpa Aunty...main apne ghar yahan Morena se bol rahi hoon...meri family yahaan meri marriage ka topic phir se le kar mujhe yahin rukwane par tuli hui hai...par kal mere office se leave ka aakhri din hai...kal nahi aayi toh gadbad ho jaayegi..." Nupur talked in a hyper tone on phone with Shilpa Sharma.
Shilpa Sharma asked in an equally loud voice which reached every corner of her living room, including the corner in which Mayank was sitting doing some random search in his desk drawer, "Nupur SHAADI?"
Mayank turned around at her words amazed. It was as if their last meet did turn out to be their very last, Mayank thought with a little mixed feeling in his heart.He wondered why did it affect him, but it did.
He felt utterly stupid at the indications he was getting in his mind for that, she was afterall still a stranger in simple words. But something in him waited to know her more. How would he if she didn't return at all.
He returned back to his search where he racked his brain now along with the drawer in front of him when he heard another set of few words from his Ma, "Achcha...All the best Beta...take care...rakhti hoon phone...baat karti rehna..."
As his Ma did away with the phone, Mayank turned to look at her thinking if he had any right at all to know the details of Nupur's life.
