Nupur could sense his grinninh and not knowing what to answer she just disconnected after a cold, 'thank you' ..

**

Nupur left Gunjan with a lot going in her head. So much needed to be done about the party and than there was the added case of inviting Mayank Sharma. That must be the only reason. Why else would Nupur bump into Mayank. Again. And of all the days on THIS day!

"I am sorry.."

Was said by Nupur before she saw whom she had bumped into.

After looking at the brooding face, she could merely curse herself.

Mayank's "its okay." Would have been a relief if it wasn't for the task at hand.

However, Mayank left her before she could contemplate how to invite him on his own mother's birthday party.

But she had to.

But how on earth will she manage to communicate with Mayank Sharma of all the people n the word?

It is Shilpa's aunty birthday.

She would want her son to be there.

Mustering all the strength she had, Nupur turned around and walked towards Mayank's room.

"ermmm.. May I come in?'

May I come in? seriously mehak? What exactly were u thinking?

Mayank was thinking all the same things. Or atleast Nupur was sure he was based on the dumbfounded look her had on his face.

Nupur: "ermm.. apse zaroori baat krnni the. If u have a minute?"

Mayank: "yes?"

Nupur took a deep breath. This had to be the most difficult conversation of her life.

"aj aunty ke birthday hai aur mein aur Gunjan.. matlab Gunjan aur mein soch rahe thay unhen surprise party den. Agar aap bhe aa sako to.."

She was afraid to look at him but the pause made it inevitable.

Maybe it was the first time that Nupur had actually looked at Mayank.

He was frowning, as always. But at the same time, Nupur had to admit he was definitely a very handsome man. Tall, dark and ruggedly handsome.

An rude. And arrogant. And in looking at her as if she had committed a grave sin. Again!

Mayank: "mere meeting hai."

He said and turned around searching fro something and Nupur was sure this was a cue for her to leave.

So she had NO idea why the hell did she said, "meeting to kese aur din bhe ho sakti hai. but aunty ke birthday to saal mein aik baar he ayege na. aap aogay to aunty ko bht khushi hogi"

Mayank did turn around but only to give her, mind-your-own-business-look. This time Nupur took the hint and quietly left.

***

"that bad?"

Gunjan hugged her friend as soon as she returned.

"what could be expected of Mr Mayank Sharma."

"halo hmne to kehdia na Nupur. Ab baqe wo jane uska kaam. Hm to yehe kr sakte thay na.."

"han per. Matlab! He literally gave me the mind-your-own-business-look and I left the room. Kis kism ka insane hai! matlab! Aik jumla poora nahe bola usne!"

Gunjan knew Nupur will start rewinding all that had happened so she decided to distract hr.

"Nupur. Is waqt aur itne kaam hain aur tm aise beth gaye ho. Sharma uncle ko bhe kese tarhan unke newspaper se door krna hai for the evening! Mazaq hi bhala?

She said it so dramatically, Nupur burst out laughing and hugged Gunjan!

"sahe keh rahe ho! Mayank jane uska kaam. Hmne invite krdia! Aajao na! itna kuch krna hainaaa! Aaajao neeche chalen!!"

******************

Mayank got done with his second meeting of the day and rubbed the back of his neck with exhaustion.

It was still a long day ahead so he leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes.

""meeting to kese aur din bhe ho sakti hai. but aunty ke birthday to saal mein aik baar he ayege na. aap aogay to aunty ko bht khushi hogi"

He opened his eyes and shook off the brief conversation he had with Nupur.

She was one weird girl. besides what did she know about him to suggest what he should and shouldn't do.

His dad was an extremely careless man and his mother was just the same. They had taken the empire his grandfather had built with so much passion for granted. 10 years ago if he wouldn't have taken over, they wouldn't have anything left. He was the reason they were living an extravagant life. Growing up with such dramatic parents, he always knew being emotional or indifferent both were a curse. He had invested his life in this business and he had no time to be emotional about a birthday. He was a busy man. What did she know! Suggesting what he should do!

He kept thinking back about the incident and how she looked standing there at the door daring to defy him.

He was never defied. He had to prove himself to the far older people he had to supervise. Naturally, he couldn't afford defiance.

But Nupur had. And she looked so innocent and nave.

And..
