Chapter-4
First Date
It was more like a dream come true..DATE with MAYANK SHARMA!!!
I was in my dreamland...the date was on weekend and 3 more days were left...but for me those 3 days had become 3 long years...with each and every moment I would think of my dress,my hairstyle,my appearance more about how dashing would he look...OMG!!!I had become a day dreamer!
Finally the fateful day came...I was dressed in pink one off shoulder,which hardly goes to knee...pinned up my hairs on one side and let them open on my shoulders...the matching high heels and hand bag was making it perfect according to me.
I reached to the place 5 minutes late,he was already there waiting for me...he was in a simple casual T-shirt and cargo...for a moment I could'nt recognize him as I have always seen in formals and my mind was prepared for his another formal well-suited look or some dashing suiting whatever but I was'nt ready for his casual look...!
I scanned him,actually he was looking more dashing in casuals...my mind finally made a conclusion.His eyes raised up on my entrance and we both shared a smile.He got up and pulled chair for me...I loved that..his etiquette always made me to fall for him even more.
"You are looking beautiful..."he remarked.
I smiled apparently but inside I was jumping with joy,OMG he complimented me...that was something over-over whelming...I wanted to jump and clap like a kid.
"Thanks!"I said as if I usually get these compliments.
He smiled again..Ahh!! why!!! you know whenever you smile I want to kiss your lips hard...!!!My wild thought brought a mischievous smile on my face which he caught,
"What happened Nupur...you are thinking something..."
"errr..nooo...yeahh..actually I am feeling hungry..."I stammered..my cheeks had turned red with embarrassment.
"Ohh then order something"he said and gave me the menu which I almost snatched, buried my eyes into it and hide my face behind it...I was blushing and smiling thinking that why the hell I said that I am HUNGRY...!!!
"OK Nupur control!!!No more Non-veg" I thought and ordered a capuchino with wafers.
He also ordered the same.
"So let me start..."he said "But before that you have to promise me that you will be honest about yourself during this conversation and I promise that I will be honest about myself.
His statement make me alert...I had a conception that it would be a romantic and casual date and then with time we will open up with each other,will know each other and then form a decision but his statement was clear that we can only proceed in a relationship with an honest start.He wanted to know everything first and then decide weather to start it or not...so rational he is!!!
But I had no other choice,so I nodded
"Yes I promise that I will be honest."
"Good then we can start...ask me whatever you want,I'll answer"he said.
Ohh no!!!I was not prepared for it..what should I ask...I was thinking and then the first question which came into my mind was quite predictable,
"Do you have any girlfriend?"I asked.
He saw me in dis-belief and then laughed out loudly,"How silly!!If I would have then why did I approach you?"
"Sorry!"I said softly.
"Ok next question?"he said.
I was again confused...I wanted to say that I am not prepared for it but then that was the golden chance to know him so I decided to ask him everything I used to ask in my dreams.
"Tell me something about your family?"I asked.
He took a deep breath,"My family is my Mom..that's it!My father died long back and left a huge debt on us...so from childhood I learned only one thing...MAKING MONEY!!!"
His straight forward answer made me a bit frightened but then it was good that he was clean hearted so I accepted that.After that I asked some questions like his fav color,movie,actor etc because I had nothing else to ask.He was answering with pleasure.
"Ok now my turn..."he said with a zeal.
I smiled.
"So are you ready?"he smirked.
"O'c'mon you are behaving like rajeev khandelwal in sach ka samna..."I mocked.
He smiled,"I need that!"
I nodded.He focused his eyes on me which made me a little scared...his sharp penetrating eyes were piercing inside my body which made me shiver.
"Do you think you can tell me everything about you?"he asked.
A storm of emotions triggered inside me...there was no escape...he wanted to know what I never wanted to tell anyone...my dark past...I had forgotten everything by that time but then again I had to dig inside and pour out everything to him...I was shivering...
those horrible days I had to revisit them...the same pain which I suffered at that time I have to go through it all again...NO!!! I can't..I can't handle it again...would never!!!
Should I tell or should I not??? My mind was going to and forth like pendulum...and then I decided there is no way that he can find out those things...and I did not want to go through all that pain again...I can't...I just can't!!!
But I can say that Yes there is something but I can not tell you...but then may be he feel bad...no this can not be done...let it be...my honesty will ruin everything...I can't be honest...let the right time come and then I'll tell him everything..and ask for forgiveness...he will surely forgive me...let me out of it...I know at present I am vulnerable to go through same pain...
"No!"I said firmly.
He leaned a bit and his sharp eyes were now gazing at me.I blushed.
It's an illusion and let me live in that...I want to lost myself for some time...
