Chapter # 1
"someone's blushing!",
Gunjan giggled and nupur immediately straightened her face "nahi tu..", she fumbled and started adjusting her earrings, and smiling gunjan hugged her,
"GOSH nupur, I can't tell you how happy I am!!, I just pray this blush never leaves your face", she hugged her tight and nupur hugged back, silently, she was too over ' whelmed to speak.
Just then gunjan's phone ring broke their hug. The smile on gunjan's face told nupur that the call could just be from her husband, she smirked at gunjan and blushing, Gunjan took the phone and headed to the balcony while nupur was again left alone.
She turned and looked herself critically in the mirror and took a deep breath, today she was going to meet her fiance for the first time - displaced heart beat.
"nupur ready ho na?", gunjan came back and nupur nervously nodded.
"awww .. meri jaan nervous kyun ho?, trust me .. i think mayank jiju is going to be the sweetest possible person on this earth!!", she pulled her in a hug and nupur took some deep breaths.
"pata nahi gunjan, I am scared, agar main unhain psnad nahi ayi tu?", she said and gunjan moved apart, "pagal ho?, meri princess kisi ko na psnd aye aisa possible hi nahi hai', she pulled her cheeks and nupur forced a smile.
"gunjan, main tumhain princess lagti hon, dad ko princess lagti hon, per pori duniya ko nahi lagti, the whole world sees my dark..
"ssshhh..", gunjan immediately placed her fingers on her lips, "maar kha lo gi agar aisa kuch bola tu", gunjan glared and tears brimmed in nupur's eyes,
"I love you gunjan, tum nahi hoti tu pata nahi kya hota mera", she hugged her tight and gunajn just rubbed her back slowly.

"dad", nupur slowly mouthed the word and Mr Bhushan welcomed her smiling, "so my princess is ready?', he opened his arms and nupur rushed in them.
"uncle ap hi samjhao na, itna nervous ho rahi hai", gunjan entered the room and Mr Bhushan stroked nupur's hair smiling, "ab nervous hona tu banta hai, afterall apne fiance se milne ja rahi hai", he said giggling.
"dekho nupur", his dad, made her face him,
"main samjh sakta hon k ap nervous ho, but just remember one thing, you are going to meet ur future life partner, just make sure you don't pretend anything", he kissed her forehead and nupur inhaled some air, as if trying to inhale the confidence from her father's aura.
"exactly!, you are perfect just the way you are", gunjan said smiling and kissing nupur's forehead once again, Mr bhushan signaled them to leave.

They were driving through the busy roads, it was afternoon and maybe due to school off time, the rush was more than usual. Gunjan was driving and mumbling about the traffic while nupur was lost in thoughts.
"nupur tum kiya soch rahi ho?', finally an irritated gunjan had to ask.
"mujhe dar lag raha hai gunjan", she replied calmly, still looking outside, and received a sigh from gunjan, "haad hai nupur!!, ab main tumhain kaise samjhaon..
"mat samjhao gunjan, bcz it'll not work, please chup ho jao bus", nupur pleaded and knowing her best friend too well, gunjan decided to leave her with her fears.
They finally reached the desired place in the next fifteen minutes and nervous, nupur stepped down the car. She was busy observing the huge building when a well-known pair of soft arms side hugged her, "okay meri jaan, after this you are on your own", gunjan kissed her cheek and smiling, nupur hugged her properly,
"thank you gunjan, please tum yahin rehna", she said scared and gunjan giggled, "yahin hon princess, ye samne wale mall main, just on a 5 minute walk, tum jab call karo gi, main pick karne a jaon gi, but ho sakta hai is ki zarorat hi na pare, kia pata merey jiju hi meri princess ko ghar drop kar den", she winked and sensing her heart getting out of control, nupur closed her eyes.
"acah chalo, baqi ki blushing jiju k samne, go now!!",
She pushed her and hugging gunjan one more time, she entered the huge building , leaving a praying gunjan behind.
**
It was the head office of the Sharma Empire. As she walked in, the building clearly told that it was the office of the India's biggest architecture firm. Wealth was dropping out from every single corner. She walked in nervous to the reception and cleared her throat before saying,
"ummm .. I need to meet Mr Mayank Sharma", she was amazed at how alien her voice was sounding,
"ma'am may I know your name please?", the receptionist was polite naturally.
"Nupur Bhushan", she said with a smile and observed the effect her name had on the receptionist.
"Nupur Bhushan!!!.. ,just .. just a second ma'am" ,
she got up her seat in a panic and held the receiver from a number of telephone sets in front of her, "Dhruv, Nupur Bhsuhan is here, come fast", she ordered and nupur was left stunned to react, "ma'am sorry for keeping you in waiting, but just ..", and before she could complete her sentence, another voice called her name.
"Nupur ma'am please come with me, I'll take you too Mayank's sir's cabin", a young boy of about mid-twenties said respectfully and shifting her eyes form the receptionist to the boy and again to the receptionist, she followed the boy nervously.
Nupur could sense that the boy was much more nervous then her, and what amazed her was the effect her arrival had on these people and not to forget, she was experiencing frequent glances from the staff area she was passing.
"this is the cabin ma'am", The boy stepped aside respectfully, as they reached a huge glass door, with delicate flower carving. The boy left and clearing her throat, nupur slowly knocked on the glass door, with shivering hands.
"come in",
it was not in a second she got the reply and she knew whose voice it could be. So deep, coarse, husky and penetrating, it just struck every chord of nupur's heart and she wondered,
"if his voice had this effect, what will his sight and touch do? .
