Part-2
After filling Gunjan with all the details , they finally decided to catch up late in the evening . God knows what life is doing with me .
Maybe he was just passing by and dropped a Hii .. this logic of Gunjan could have calmed her nerves but thinking of what they both shared in college , well it was difficult to imagine such a gesture from any of them .
"Forget it Nupur , he just came and went . " chanting this to hersrlf while her eyes glanced at clock , only to realise that half time was over an hour ago. Darn ! My life. Again cursing Mayank for all the mess ,she drove to her working place in thirty minutes , praying that Mr.Roy didnt get an emergency meeting call after half day otherwise she was screwed .
Nupur literally blew open Mr.Roy's cabin door " i am so sorry sir . I just lost the track of time and then this unwanted police patrolling..I am .." before she can continue any further with her long list of sorries and excuses , Mr.Roy interuppted "Its ok , your salary wont be deducted" he said reassuringly .
For a moment , Nupur was stunned Am I dreaming . But life is full of surprises and shock , wel it was time for surprise . Nupur beamed at Mr. Roy ''Thankyou so much Sir '', saying so Nupur began to leave for her cabin when Mr.Roy again called him "Nupur , I need to talk to you .''
Nupur sat opposite him and keenly looked at him . Never in one year of her job she had seem him getting concious but today he was , after a pause which seemed like eternity Mr. Roy spoke " How do you know Mayank Sharma ?" old man finally asked her and temporary smile vanished from her face .
Is it because of Mayank he didnt deducted my salary ? her mind was again confused with meshwork of questions , when Mr.Roy cleared his throat to get back her attention " Ahm..Sir we were college mates" she spoke , taking each word carefully .
" why didnt you tell me that you were associated with The Sharmas ?" there was a disbelief in his voice which kinda freaked out Nupur " Sir , its just that we studied in same college and nothing else . And i am definately Not- Related--To-The Sharmas" Nupur replied stressing on each word .
He again thought for a moment as if manipulating his thought process "Ok .. Hmm , Nupur if you want to shift to North New Jersey branch of ours , you can do that . I.mean , driving each day to S.Jersey doesnt make sense " If she was given this offer any other time, she would have jumped around in happiness but now this double-standards were getting on her nerves, knowing just ONE person can change attitude of others !! Why is this happenning ??
" No thank you Sir . I am happy working here .'' Only Nupur knew how much it took from her to say these words , she had been dying for such an offer and now when it came , she had no other option but to deny it . Growling and crusing , she excused herself and plopped in her cabin . Life is definately playing some major prank on her .
..
''Come In sweety '' Gunjan said cheerfully , she knew from Nupur's face , the turmoil Nupur is going through . Nupur didnt even try to fake a smile but went in . Both made themselves comfortable before Nupur could leash out her frustration .
''I am not getting anything Gunjan . Suddenly , out of blue Mr.Mayank drops at my place and then suddenly i am offered to shift to other branch . I am not getting anything ..it is creepy'' Nupur spoke before covering her face with hands . Gunjan stroked her hairs to calm her down
'' Its nothing Nupur '' as soon Gunjan said those words , Nupur shot her head up ''Ok ok ..i know there is something totally weird but right now we dont know anything . ''
Nupur didnt reply to her but instead showed her i-phone to Gunjan . Shee took it and then expected shocking expression registered on Gunjan's face ''What the hell is this ?''
''I-DONT-KNOW'' Nupur said ,'' The Sharma , New York Office exactly at 4pm tomorrow - Mayank'' Gunjan said , reading the text again .
''Why does Mayank want to meet you ?''
''I hardly have an idea '' Nupur spoke cluelessly
''And who are The Sharma''s ?'' Gunjan questioned , still looking at Nupur because knowing Nupur , she was sure of one thing that till now she would have dissected the entire Sharma clan . Nupur got up from sofa and with all possible hand movvements , she started explaining the family tree of Sharma's
''Vishal Sharma '- The beginner of Sharmas . He started The Sharma's and know he owns 100 billion crore bussiness empire . Liike Vijay Malya to kingfisher , Sharma's are to Export and Import . They are the kings of this bussiness , so naturally all the firms have contact with them . This explains confused Mr.Roy's behaviour .''
''And Mayank is his son ?''
''Nopes , Mayank is grand-son of stinking rich Vishal Sharma , which explains his snobbish , stubborn attitude toward others . Jerk ! ''
''Hmm.. so why is Mayank suddenly interested in meeting you ? '' Gunjan ran her brain's horses while tapping her finger on chin , Nupur looked at her in disbelief '' Trust me , you wont be able to crack this jackpot , so forget thinking '' Nupur said and Gunjan smiled at her Her Nupur is back
'' Ok , then help me in kitchen , I have night shift in hospital today '' Nupur lazily walked , following Gunjan . Still trying to think about the matters , both of them got there dinner ready
''So are you going tomorrow ? '' Gunjan asked with raised eyebrows
''You think !!'' Nupur gave a smile and Gunjan understood . Never in college , Nupur bend before Mayank , so today was no special .
Dropping Gunjan to hospital , she worked there as intern , Nupur headed to her place .. feeling wayy better and relaxed .
Things were not solved yet , she could still feel storm brewing in front of her yet sharing everything Gunjan made her calm her nerves ..then What are Friends For . Tossing and cuddling , finally Nupur managed to get some sleep , still remaining firm at her decision of not going to meet Mayank .
Somewhere , not so far , someone didnt even catch blink of sleep ..he knew about tomorrow , he knew she won't come tomorrow but still she will come to him .
