Part 3 :
Soon her face came into view as the mobile in her hand fell and he was quick enough to catch it and looked up to return it back to her when she said smiling 'Thanks' looked at him and after standing back in his position he asked amazed with a stern face, "Tum, phir 1 ghante late ho?"
Nupur's smile changed into a frown soon enough and she looked around a little embarassed and returning back his sternness she replied back, "Toh!...tum mere boss ho kya...ya woh company tumhare chacha ki hai?"
Mayank was bewildered by her response and her audacity to fight back to him in his equal response though very much knowing she was at odds, all he could mutter back was, "Kya?"
Nupur continued, "Aur nahi toh kya, kya main apni marzi se late aati hoon...ek toh baarish ke itne pyaare se mausam ko enjoy bhi karne nahi mile aur upar se main phir bhi bilkul time par nikli thi ghar se...ab main kya karoon agar train ki bheed ne mujhe andar ghusne nahi diya aur main phir late ho gayi..."
Mayank looked at her trying to comprehend her logics of mixing her miseries of being late and not being able to enjoy rains which by any means did not meet at any crossroads according to him and he asked with both his eyebrows raising upwards, "Baarish?"
Nupur not being able to get the answer she wanted to hear she replied irritated, "Tum kya tab se mere words mein se ek shabd chunkar repeat kiye jaa rahe ho...? "
Mayank shaking his head left the auto that honked for them to sit and waited for another one not wanting to go a long way again and she was left looking at the most bizaare behaviour she had ever recieved adding to her list of misery today.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 2 days later when Mayank reached home a little late from his work and rang the bell of his house, when he got almost shocked with the biggest suprise ever. The door was opened by none other than his subject of argument from a few days, Nupur. As soon as she opened the door she didn't knew whether to smile at the person to whom this house belonged to or to frown at her situation which prompted her to welcome a person unwelcoming to her every time she met him.
She just stayed there trying to be expressionless to judge his reaction and then to choose her own when Mayank suddenly gasped her name as if accusing her of having a name known to him, "Nupur?!!!!"
Nupur knew how she needed to respond now, she quickly took her stance by crossing her arms across her chest and standing there faking a smile which announced itself as 'fake' for all she could try and for all he could see when she replied back, "Jab maine tumhari photo uss desk par dekhi naa toh mera reaction bhi bilukul aisa hi tha...bas mujhe tumhara naam nahi maloom tha...par lagta hai tum kaafi research kar chuke ho mujh par..."
Mayank looked at her in dis-believe and asked quite straight-forwardly, "Tum yahaan kya kar rahi ho?...by the way mera ghar hai isiliye please agar aap kya please mujhe andar aane de sakti hain..." the latter part of the statement was not at all a question but a remark which made Nupur cringe at his tone further, if only he behaved as he looked, for a while...
Nupur quickly replaced the fake smile with an expression which said 'I-need-to-leave-soon-now' when Shilpa Sharma sensing Mayank's voice from kitchen started speaking while
she made her way towards the living room saying, "Mayank, tum aa gaye beta...achcha isse milo Nupur ..." when she saw Mayank and Nupur exchanging not so friendly looks and she saw Nupur looking at the watch on the wall clock and say, "Aunty, ab main chalti hoon...maine ghar par phone toh kar diya tha ki late ho jaayega par abhi sach mein bahut deri ho gayi hai..."
Shilpa Sharma smiled and said, "Okay beta, waise Mayank tumhe ghar chod sakta hai agar jyaada deri ho gayi toh..."
Mayank looked at his Ma widening his eyes and said, "Ma, main...mujhe bhi toh Nupur ko local transport se hi chodna hoga...mera matlab hamare paas kahan car hai Ma?" as much as he hated to admit it, he wanted to make it obvious for an uninvited guest for him, discarding all the fact that he seemed to be not disliking her for some reason, but that didn't mean he was going to take things he didn't she was the one who seemed over-firendly since she barely knew even his Ma too.
Nupur watched Mayank's tone and ignoring to react to him and remembering to react to Shilpa Sharma she replied smiling, "Nahi Aunty, waise hi maine aapko aaj kaafi pareshan kiya hai...aur main akele chali jaoongi...i'll be fine..agar koi problem hui toh sabse pehle aap ko hi phone karoongi..." Nupur completed formally and left a smilling Shilpa and a little irritated Mayank behind.
When she had finally left, Mayank looked at his Ma who looked at him questioningly asking, "Mayank, yeh kya tha...?"
Mayank tried to explain, "Ma...woh 4 din pehle tumhare office mein nayi aayi hai aur aaj woh ghar tak aa gayi...mujhe aise logon pe bilkul bharosa nahi hota..."
Shilpa Sharma replied back, "Mayank, woh mujhe help karne aayi thi...mujhe kuch shopping karni thi aur phir mere haath mein itne bags the ki woh mujhe help karne ke liye yahaan tak chodne aayi thi...phir woh jaane lagi toh maine kahan chai peekar jaaye...par woh chai peeye bina hi chali gayi ab...agar tumhe kissi par yuhi bharosa nahi hota toh kamse kam meri respect karne ke liye toh tum haan keh dete..." and looked away a little dis-appointed for his stiff behaviour today.
Mayank realised his mistake and apologetically replied, "Sorry Ma, maine galat samjha. Aap right ho, aapke kehne par mujhe na nahi bolna chahiye tha. Next time dhyaan doonga Ma."
Shilpa Sharma smiled and said, "Good, achcha ab apna jhoota gussa shaant kar aur dekh le main tere liye kuch shirts laayi hoon..."
Mayank smiled and went ahead to agree to his Ma without wanting to protest for anything more to her.But somewhere in the back of the mind he tried to analyse his mistake in judging people. He was his usual self understanding people the way they were deep inside by their words and actions, but here he didn't know why he was lacking in judgments all of a sudden. Without even knowing her and actually speaking to her officially, he found himself questioning himself coz of her and this thought did not just settle at the back of his mind but made efforts to make its presence being felt to his conscious self.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Nupur reached home fuming a little over Mayank's behaviour whenever she met him. She seemed totally unable to understand his problem with her. Though he had agreed to her taking the auto to the direction she wanted the first day and later helped her by catching her cell phone the other day and most importantly was the son of the Aunty who was being so sweet to her that she reminded her of her 'Bui' back in her town, but still behaved with her most inappropriately almost chewing all the words he spoke to her as if she belonged to an alien planet, she didn't want to get angry on him at all but he chose her reactions himself by being so to her.
Warding off all her thoughts of confusions, she smiled as she entered her new home where she lived as a paying guest to one of the acquaintances from her hometown and who were very sweet to her and the only known people to her in this new place.
