Mayank orders the office boy "remove that bleady thing from notice board" while going his eyes meets with Nupur's, both look at each other with same angry, frustration and disbelieved look.
Mayank breaks the eye lock and goes from there.
Nupur turns towards Samrat and says "I will come back, you go to the lab"
Samrat "Nupur please we will discuss about this later."
Nupur gives Samrat an angry glare and goes near the notice board. All the people went to their rooms, no one noticed Nupur. The office boy is about to remove the notice. Nupur takes the paper from his hand, office boy "mam oh sir-"
Nupur cuts him "I will take care of it you can go", the boy knows Nupur's angry so he thinks better not to mess with her and goes from there.
Mayank enters his office room looks at Natasha "what the hell do you think you are doing. Why you put all that bullsh*t on the notice board. You know I hate rumors but-"
Natasha gave him a seductive smile "oh mayu this is just a sample to tell you want can I do. Now be a good boy and give me kiss, as I am going to miss you for next three weeks. You know I got my first modeling assignment and going for the shoot in Australia." saying so Natasha goes near Mayank to kiss him.
Mayank turns his face irritatingly at the same time Nupur opens the door without knocking. Natasha's lips lands on Mayank's cheek this is how Nupur finds them in the room.
Nupur looks at Mayank with hurt and angry expressions, turns her face to other side.
Natasha "who the hell you are? Donot you know the manners of knocking the door. Get out-"
Mayank cuts Natasha "Get out from here."
Nupur is about to turns with a hurt expression to leave. Natasha gives a victory smile.
Mayank repeats "I said get out from here Natasha" point to Nupur "Miss Bhushan, you can stay back."
Natasha gives him a disbelieved look and then turns to leave "I will come back after three weeks, then we can talk"
Mayank shouts "Just leave Natasha"
Nupur stands like a statue seeing at Natasha and Mayank. Natasha takes her purse and goes from there giving Nupur a disgusting look.
Natasha goes out and asks the office boy, "listen do you know any girl with name Nupur"
office boy "mam, the girl went into Mayank sir's office is Miss. Nupur Bhushan"
Natasha thinks 'oh tho ya hain Nupur Bhushan. Looking at her angry face and the way she entered the office room, it is clear they are going to have a biggg fight. So let them enjoy I am getting late, I will see them after I return. For today this hungama is enough' Natasha leave from there.
In Mayank's room, before Mayank could say something Nupur shows the paper in her hand to him "what the hell is this? And who posted this news on notice board and what is the meaning of all this."
Mayank is also angry on Nupur because thought still he cannot believe it is Nupur who wrote email to Natasha but the proofs are clear which he cannot deny.
Mayank thinks 'it is Nupur or might be her boyfriend Samrat, who done this. Of course she might have shared everything with her so called boyfriend Samrat' suddenly he remembers how Samrat holds Nupur's hand outside his office. His angry increases, he says "that's what I am asking you. Why did you told Natasha that you are with me in hide out farm house and Nainital or do I say it is your boyfriend Samrat's plan to show me down infront of everyone"
Mayank is very angry and he did not check what he is saying how much his words may hurt Nupur, he continues "or is it a plan of yours and your so called boyfriend to blackmail me as a token of revenge for kidnapping you to Nainiatal, he did not even cared for a girl's reputation before spreading the rumors of our affair"
Nupur gets angrier "why will I tell everyone about all this and why are you bring Samrat in all these, he is innocent"
Already Mayank's angry meter is high and Nupur defensing Samrat made him mad he moves forward like a panther hungry to get his prey, and Nupur steps back seeing Mayank coming towards her.
"Donot act smart, is it my mistake that you came to my farm house without my permission, it is my mistake that you stole my CD. I accept I kidnapped you but I feel that my mistake is leaving you without touching you in the farm house though you always gave me invitation to have you in my bed-" Mayank stops as he feels burnt on his cheek, Nupur slaps him. She cannot take any more insults from Mayank for the mistake she did not do. Nupur thinks Mayank is talking about notice board issue but Mayank talking about the email in his hand. Mayank with mad frustration puts his arms on her shoulders and pulls her towards him.
Mayank "you feel bad right when I talk bad about Samrat, even I feel the same pain when some on talk bad about my love"
Nupur can see the pain and hurt in his eyes, Nupur thinks Mayank is talking about Natasha, but Mayank is referring to Nupur. Nupur feels a ping of hurt but hides immediately from Mayank because she donot want to show her weakness infront of him. Mayank hold Nupur very hard which is hurting Nupur.
She says "y-you are hurting me Mayank"
Mayank "you are hurting me Nupur"
Mayank thinks 'you donot know what I am feeling when I saw the letter in Natasha hand and I felt like blowing the whole lab. And the notice board, god forbidden if you name is mentioned I would sure have blown the lab by now' but continues his harsh words "Na Samrat mistakes kartha aur na tum mera life main athe aur ye sab nahin hota. What is there in him that you go to any extent to cover him up? ayisa kya hain vuma jo mujhe ma nahin hai."
The pain Mayank words are giving is more than the physical hurt he is giving to Nupur. Mayank is too in pain to see the proofs against Nupur, he cannot believe his love can do this, Nupur can stoop so low. Both are in vulnerable state. Nupur closes her eyes with fear that she may show Mayank her tears. Mayank pulled Nupur close, where Nupur goes willingingly into his arms. They joins their forehead with each other.
Mayank whispering "why did you do this?" But Nupur did not replied she just stood there puts her hands on Mayank's chest neither she stopped Mayank nor she hugged him. Mayank slowly went back a little so that they can look into each other's eyes. Mayank cupped Nupur's face with his both hands and slowly placed his lips on her. Both need this kiss very much to express their feels which they are not able to convey with words to each other. To smooth the hurt, the pain they gave to each other, knowingly or unknowingly. They are not in a hurry to kiss away. Mayank took his time to feel her lips. To feel Nupur is really with him. Nupur did not oppose or accepted Mayank's kiss. She stood there still comes to the terms what happened till now. Slowly both started responding to the kiss. Mayank placed his hand on her nape and the other on her waist pulling her as close as possible. Nupur slowly placed her hands around his neck, angling her head to give more access to Mayank to kiss her. Mayank deepen the kiss earning Nupur's acceptance. Phone ring on Mayank's desk made Nupur come to this world. Mayank is still in his own world savoring the taste of their kiss.
Nupur 'what am I doing, allowing Mayank to kiss me, to come close to me and make the rumor true. How can I do this?'
Nupur pushes Mayank with her pull strength making Mayank to jerk back and catch the table to make himself stand. Nupur points finger to Mayank and says with fully angry "stay away from me" she runs from there, she donot know on whom she is angry on Mayank or on herself for loosing herself to Mayank.
Mayank is still stands there staring at the door closed by Nupur. He is hurt, he never felt this hurt and pain before. Nupur's words "stay away from me" is ringing in his mind.
Mayank "fine, Miss. Nupur Bhushan I think it is better for both of us to stay away from each other".
Mayank phone rings again, this time Mayank answers it "ok, fix the appointment I am coming to Delhi today. Yes I am shifting completely to Delhi today itself. My work is done in Chandigarh"
He slams the phone, he leaves a note for Samrat saying he has some important meetings so he is leaving to Delhi and he can continue his work as usual. Nupur after leaving Mayank's room runs towards the garden after the parking slot. She wants to cry loudly but she cannot. Nupur sits on some chair in the garden thinks 'I will never talk with Mayank from now. I will keep my distance from him'.
Mayank goes to parking slot and reverses his car. A Wind starts blowing as if it is asking Nupur to turn and see that her Mayank is leaving her. But Nupur closes her eyes for wind force blocking Mayank's image.
Mayank left Chandigarh and Nupur.
