Part 22:

Mayank saw Varun sitting busy with his video game when he was sitting there beside him having a sandwich and giving a boost to Varun's skillful acts at the game.

Mayank suddenly looked at the watch, for he didn't want to be late for the party since he was supposed to be felicitated with an award at the very same. Making a face close to anger and disappointment, he looked at the door where Nupur had been getting ready for a while now.

Suddenly he heard a voice close to him above his head, "Have you started so cringing even at my mere presence Mr.Sharma?"

Mayank knew this tone and voice too, ofcourse. Nupur talked in that tone when she was hurt and didn't want to show it and preferred conveying it in a sharp tone to him. Well, he didn't mean it that way, but he also knew he wasn't willing to apologize either. He just didn't want to let things settle at all, that wouldn't help in the long run anyways.

He spoke just as sharply as she did, "I hoped you would have given me more choices MRS.SHARMA"

Sudden;y there was silence and angry looks were being exchanged when they realized a dead silence, even Varun had stopped playing his game and suddenly they had all his attention.

Nupur recovered first and said referring to both, "I mean do I look that bad?"

Varun looked at Nupur and Mayank a bit doubtful and when Nupur smiled and asked, Varun said, "No Dad, she looks very pretty!"

Mayank saw Nupur again and realized what Varun had just said was only a half truth, she looked Gorgeous and absolutely stunning in her black knee long dress. It had a high neck, extending a little towards shoulders.Mayank was sure he was making a mistake of not blinking for a while, but cursing himself he gulped down his thoughts of how she looked while he remembered how 2 years back she had bought this one.

Nupur had dragged Mayank to shop with him but since he wasn't enjoying it even a fraction of her, he had decided to just take Varun to him gaming zone which he was sure must be more bearable than the same couloured dresses that Nupur counted as range, only because they differed in shades. Also, Nupur asked him which one would suit her better while Mayank never knew how to differentiate since he hardly noticed her dresses, he had a lot to notice about her, her expressions, words and all, but why would he let that out to her to surrender all his defenses to her.

He casually just walked off saying, "Nupur, you know I don't understand this at all. I think Varun doesn't either and so, I'll take him to his favourite games!"

Nupur made a face and smiled and that was settled there.

Later, at home when Nupur was keeping the dress in her wardrobe, utterly delicately, she causally explained Mayank how exhorbitant a price she had paid for that one.

Mayank looked at her in shock for a moment while she pulled his cheek with an amused smile on her face.

"Mayank, are you sure you actually deal with such high money matters often in your office on daily basis?" while she laughed.

Mayank closed his mouth and said, "Yes! But am not sure if those are so productively invested as today, you know…"

Nupur laughed and said, "So are you proud of my investment today?"

Mayank smiled and said sarcastically, "So so proud…"

And then she said, as if suddenly realizing, "But you know, I have spent whole of my Month's salary on this one" She nearly pouted as if almost complaining about herself. Mild confession, finally!

Mayank laughed at her change in approach all of a sudden, pulling her close, he said winking, "Well, thankfully you still have mine till the next month…"

Nupur could only laugh. How she knew he just was cautious in every matter always, but still handled every other possibility like a trained-for-it person. His special ways of always saying in various ways that he is always there for her in everything was just so special to Nupur. If only he knew how much she loved the arguments with him that ended up on a sweetly deep feeling…

Mayank could do anything at all to keep that smile alive on her…

Now there she was smiling at him just for the sake of it. Her eyes spoke something else.

Nupur was so hurt with Mayank's words right now. She so wanted to snap back an answer at him but had to keep things merry for Varun. She realized she had gotten so good at faking smiles by now.

How different had he become from his own self?And his aversion hurted her so much, was he the same guy who was so close to her in every terms just sometime ago? How could she have anticipated this phase with him, ever? She had recently felt that she doesn't know him in many ways, even after so long a time of knowing him. He was so typically himself, how can he change so much? And, frankly speaking, she seeked ways to handle all this without getting the hurts blind her from doing so, because lately she had felt so helpless as if she suddenly doesn't know what reaction would be right and what was she supposed to do? May be, Mayank's protective aura around her had made her feel more confident always, than she actually was!

As the three of them had reached the party, it was Varun who felt the most cheery, Mayank had to try and get in the mood of the happiness that he had always felt when his work was appreciated.

This time round, he had minimum proud on self, and was gladder to find abundant of it on Varun's face.

Nupur too had a genuine smile while she was appreciating and congratulated him in words, it made Mayank feel better, somehow.

Nupur was shown who Riya was, by CJ. So when she wanted to congratulate Mayank, while trying to hug him, Nupur could only intervene and hug Riya back instead of Mayankk.

Mayank was surprised at Riya's action but even more at Nupur's. He knew she was of a friendly sort but never overly friendly did she get. Why all this pretence to his staff all of a sudden?

Mayank replied to Riya, "Thanks!"

Riya was miffed at Nupur right now, just for being there and being a spoil sport to her dreams. But she had to smile at both Mayank and Nupur, mildly atleast.

Nupur was suddenly all smiles to Riya and even when Riya had tried to divert the topic to business, Nupur only intervened and took interest deeply.

Riya was heating up in her brain with anger at Nupur and Mayank was clueless on Nupur showing off so much, especially when she engaged her hand with Mayank and told Riya to take a picture of their with a background of the water fountain at the entrance, that was exactly behind where they stood, only a few feets away.

Riya felt relieve in leaving and Mayank looked at Nupur suspiciously and left to meet up his other colleagues.

Nupur was left half happy and half disappointed.

She was happy, because Mayank did not have any clue at all about Riya's intentions. She wondered, how could he be so nave here? He was never so when he took all the long miles in teasing her and always understood her reactions to him. She took pride in the thing that she had found out and let it hold on to cover every other disappointment that she could have calculated.

Varun was so busy with his food, he loved oily and heavy food and Nupur had decided that he was so not getting such oily stuff for a week from today.

She was in talks with CJ when Varun came up with a plate fully stuffed with food and started munching on his way to glory. Nupur so saw herself in him for a second. She laughed and helped her with some of her own food.

CJ always had a great time talking to Nupur. They were different in thoughts and words both their frequency with each other matched just right.

CJ teased Varun, "Varun, you eat as much as a grown-up" and waited for his reaction.

Varun looked at Nupur and when she just smiled, he helped himself with words, "CJ Aunty, Mom says when you are empty stomach your mind wouldn't let you concentrate"

Nupur and CJ laughed at the way he said that and CJ replied back, "Are you really empty stomach still?"

Varun shot her a look, CJ withdrew her question back saying casually, "I am going to get myself a chunk of Choco-blast Ice-cream….would you want some?"

Varun looked at her reluctantly at first and then said, "Only a bit, to taste…"

CJ laughed while Nupur said, "Varun! Never order your elders for food, remember. Go along with CJ Aunty and help yourself. Come on, be a good boy like your dad!"

CJ shot Nupur a look that said that she wanted to talk about somethings to her, that is what Nupur had been looking forward to too, as they had talked about. But before CJ was about to say something, Nupur showed her with hands to make that later and urged Varun,"Go and have your favorite ice-cream…" and then added Varun's own words to him, "Only a bit, to taste…."

Varun looked at her and marked in his mind to tell them both later that he wouldn't have his favourite ice-cream cut short to a bite, ever.
