Chapter-24
Next day morning Nupur gets ready with full of life, smile is not leaving her face.
Nupur thinks 'by god, Samrat got Gunjan and I can see love in Mayank's eyes for me'.
But still she did not hope to confess her love as she still happy with her one side love and few moments with Mayank.
She enters the office with same smile, as soon as she enters the office she see a lot of people gathered at notice board. Nupur did not understand what's happening.
Samrat goes near Nupur "let's go Nupur. We need to do a lot of work."
Nupur still looking at the people "what happened, everyone are reading notice board."
Samrat "nothing related to us, I have read already. Come let's go"
Nupur feels something is fishy seeing Samrat's disturbed face which he is covering at his best. Nupur knows him from childhood she can identify his reactions easily. But Nupur did not want to argue so she is about to walk away with Samrat from notice board when Gunjan comes towards Nupur shouting "hey Nupur have you seen the notice board."
Samrat "its ok Gunjan we will check later we have some work", he tries to take Nupur from there. Now Nupur is really curious to know why Samrat is behaving so weird and what is there in the notice board.
Nupur "one minute Samrat," she turns towards Gunjan "kya baat hain Gunjan"
Gunjan comes and whispers "Do you know Natasha and Mayank sir ki beech ma some third angle agaye"
Nupur "what do you mean"
Gunjan "aree Mayank sir is doing two timing with Natasha and also heard that due to this Natasha and Mayank almost broken there engagement"
Nupur "what?"
Gunjan "yes that is what wrote on the notice board"
Nupur gives a disbelieved look to Gunjan and goes towards notice board pushing everyone reached the board. Nupur reads'
"Who is the new girl in Mayank's life?"
"Rumored that Natasha caught them red handed in his hide out farm house and Nainital farm house"
"Came to know that she is someone from his employees"
"Is Mayank doing two timing with Natasha or is the girl fulfilling her dreams through bedding Mayank Sharma."
Nupur couldnot believe what is written on the board. It is clearly written about her and Mayank, thought her name is not written but she knows the truth.
Nupur thinks 'I never thought of breaking Mayank and Natasha's relationship, I am in love with Mayank but never thought of becoming third angle in their relationship. I am happy with my one side love but who might have done this'.
Nupur decides to clear this with Mayank before the matter goes out of hands. Before Nupur can react, Samrat takes Nupur's hand into his and pulls her from there. Nupur walks in trans along with Samrat. Samrat knows the notice board rumor referring to Nupur, as she is the one who went to Mayank's hidden out and Nainital farm house. If Nupur reacts at the notice board everyone will come to know about this, thought Nupur is innocent but people will blame her. Hearing the noise outside his office room, Mayank comes out to see the people and then reads the notice board, he gets shocked then covering his expression immediately he shouts "what the hell is happening here? Am I paying for gossiping in my office? Get back to your works"
he turns his eyes meet with Nupur, he sees Samrat holding Nupur's hand. Mayank gritted his teeth and glares at Nupur's hand where Samrat is still holding. Nupur did not notice this as she is busy in thinking how to talk with Mayank regarding this. Mayank gives an ignoring look to Nupur, but still notices Samrat putting his hand on Nupur shoulder and guiding her towards the lab, he calls the office boy asks him to remove the notice. Nupur feels a ping of hurt to see Mayank ignoring her.
Mayank enters his office room, someone hugs him from back "hey Mayuuu, my baby" Natasha.
Mayank irritatingly hold Natasha's hand and pulls her to face him, and points his finger to her.
[One hour back']
Mayank is so happy to see Nupur responding to his love. Mayank donot want to think about Samrat and Nupur. He can see love for him in her eyes. He cannot be wrong; he has seen his effect on her.
Though Nupur tried to hide it from him but in few occasions both couldn't hide their liking for each other. Mayank decided to encourage Nupur more and make her accept her feels for him. Then he can deal with Samrat. Mayank totally forgot about Natasha. He reached office with same happiness to meet Nupur and take their story forward. As soon as he entered the office room, he sees Natasha sitting in his chair.
Natasha gives seductive smile "hey Mayuu, how are you?" changes her smile to evil grin continues "After dumping me so merciless"
Mayank is not expecting this encounter with Natasha, that to in his own office. "what the hell are you doing in my office?"
Mayank shouted without hiding his angry and irritation in his tone. Natasha gets up from his chair giving him a seductive smile once again, goes near him traces his face with her finger and Mayank moves his head otherside.
"You dumped me few days back, but still did not have given any official announcement of our broken engagement, tho sochan can I use this situation for my benefit to bring you back to me. So here I am on my mission" Natasha moves back a little and motioning her hands shows to Mayank as if she is making some banner "Natasha to bring back Mayank Sharma on his knees"
she turns towards Mayank "how is the title of my mission"
Mayank gritted his teeth "Do whatever you want, but I wonot come back to you. It is OVER between US" stress 'over and us'
Natasha gives a sarcastic smile "oh mayu, if it is really OVER by now you would have announced this to the world and my luck you did not even informed my papa. Shall I tell you why?"
Without waiting for Mayank's response Natasha continues "because, you are on the final discussions with Modi constructions to take over the company. Any negative publicity will affect you reputation which may incline or decline your share value in the market. It means if I or my Papa create a huge scene infront of media crying that you dumped me mercilessly and adding some spice like you are in love with another girl and doing two timing"
Natasha stops here to see Mayank's reaction, she is satisfied to see Mayank's angry glares continues "then just think about the negative publicity you will gain through this which will sure effect your business deal with Modi constructions - pouring cold water on your dreams"
Mayank "main tumhare damkiyose darnewala nahin hu. You have no proofs to tell anyone that I am two timing you"
Natasha "who said I have no proofs, the girl Miss Nupur. She is with you right in your hideout when I came on that day"
she observes change of expressions on Mayank's face from angry to shock, she continues "even in the Nainital farm house"
Mayank just gives her a disbelieved look, this confirmed Natasha that Nupur is the girl with Mayank on his Nainital farm house. Natasha is sure about Nupur is with him on his hide out place but not sure about Nainital but Mayank's expression said it all.
Mayank "what nonsense you are talking about?"
Natasha "I am telling you the truth, infact she herself send me an email saying that you are doing two timing with her and me. She gave me a weapon to bring you down to your knees infront of me",
Natasha laughs on her victory seeing Mayank's shocked and helpless expression. Still Mayank cannot believe what Natasha is saying, he thinks 'no Nupur cannot do this, she cannot bring shame on mine and her name like this'
Mayank "I donot believe you"
Natasha "I know you wonot believe me, so I bought a print out of the letter. Here it is"
Mayank take the letter from Natasha's hand and starts reading it'
"Hi Natashaji, I am Nupur from chandigarh Sharma labs. It is very painful to inform you but it is good for you to know the truth. Mayank sir is doing two timing with you. I went to his farm house to talk about my boyfriend's job. Though he doesn't know that I am with him in his car boot when we reached his hideout farm house but later when he came to know I am with him he behaved very weird with me. I know it is my impulse decision but I never expected his behavior with me like that. He blackmailed me to share his bed for my boyfriend's job. So I immediately hided the rotor arm from the car and called you to give you the farm house address so that I can show you his intentions are not good. Though you came to save me but he hidden me from you. Please donot believe Mayank sir. It is upto you to believe me or not but your true friend' Nupur"
Mayank felt like his world shaken after reading the letter.
Mayank thinks 'no one knows except me and Nupur that she came in my car boot to farm house, address of farm house and about rotor arm missing. It means Nupur' no no she cannot stoop so low and I never tried to misbehave with her' still Mayank did not want to believe Natasha though proofs are clear the secret visit of Nupur is clearly written in the email. Mayank holds the table not to fall as he is still feeling the earth is shaking under his feet.
Natasha thinks 'Mayank I just pasted a notice at your notice board, just to give you a sample of my revenge. Oh god I am really enjoying this victory. In no time Mayank will come back to me. This time I wonot delay the marriage, when Mayank comes back to me, the next day I will ask my dad to arrange for marriage. I cannot trust Mayank again'
[End of flash back]
Nupur couldn't wait more to discuss about this matter with Mayank, so she enter Mayank's room without knocking and see Natasha kissing Mayank on his cheek, Nupur and Mayank stands infront of each other in shocked state looking into each other's eyes.
