Part 6
The loud noise of thunder broke their eye-ock. Nupur looked here and there to distract herself. Both of them felt very strange, why every time they fall in other's eyes. The shack was very old and at any moment it may fall down. Nupur said worriedly,"Ye storm to badhta jaa raha hai..!! Koi rehne ki jagah search kerni hogi as soon as possible". Mayank agreed with her and said,"Hmm and moreover ye shack bhi kisi bhi time gir sakta hai..!!" Just then his eyes felt on a light, it was coming from a house, he indicated her and without asking her consent and not even thinking twice he took her hand rushed towards that house to ask for help.
They knocked their door, hoping that will open. A lady in her mid 40s open the door and asked about their whereabouts. Mayank explained their situation here Nupur was just standing there quietly, lest anyone knew she was still numb as Mayank has not leff her hand and his touch was actually giving goosebumps to her.
The lady was very warm person, she let both of them entered her house, a small get together was going on her house, she said," Why don't you guys get changed and join us to the house party". Nupur asked,"Aunty ..! what's the house party for?". Lady was bit shy on saying, when a man of her same age came up and said,"Dear today is our 30th anniversary...on this day... this beautiful lady accepted my love proposal..Isn't dear..!". saying she looked her intently and continued,"And I am always in support of all the love birds and I am so happy that on is beautifull day of our life we collided with another young pairs of lovebirds...", saying he led them in. Mayank was about to correct him but Nupur held his hand and whispered,"Arey kya ker rahe ho..! in logo ko sach kyu bata rahe ho...!". Mayank looked at her as if she didn't knew, reading his eyes she continued,"Dekho Mayank ye log humko galat couple samjh rahe hai... to samjhne do na... agar sach abata diya aur what if inlogo humko bahar nikal diya to...itni baarish mein baarish mein kahan bhatkenge...!". She made a cute puppy face he couldn't ignored it but still he was not liking it. Jerking her hand he went with the old man to change himself and there she was also taken to another room, however Nupur was still looking at his retreating figure, from his back she could tell he wasn't happy with this.
Mayank changed himself and was talking to himself,"Ye Nupur bhi na... utt patang hartaien kerti rehti hai aur aaj isne mujhe bhi shamil ker liya... mujhe sahi nahi lagg raha hai.. agar sach bata denge to kya hpga bahar hi to nikalenge..!! samjhti nahi hai.. bass yahi padi hui hai usko ki itne toofaan mein kahan jaayenge...arey kahin bhi chale jaayenge.. but nahi Nupur meri baat sune to baat hai..!!". He put on shoes and moved out of the room to stand infront of hers.
The man told him to bring his beautiful lover with him to downstairs. Following the suit he knocked the door, which was open by the same lady who let them in and said," You may go inside child, she is really looking very nice... Join us soon downstairs". He looked above and gave a huge sigh whispering to himself," Kya natak hai bygod..!!". He entered the room and was about to shout on her of not getting ready on time," Nupur kitna time lagaogi... sab neeche wait..." he stopped in between seeing her dressed in peach color full gown off shoulder, she was looking absolutely ravishing. Nupur sensed he was staring at her, she reached upto him and snapped his fingers asking,"Mayank.. bygod.. kahan kho gaye the..!!". Mayank came out trance ,"Huh... kahin nahi..aur tum..." he again lost in her captive eyes but regained his senses and said," Haan vo tum itna time kyu laga rahi thi...!". the whole he completed in a soft and polite manner, Nupur looked at him bit strangely as his words and tone were not matching, taking this another nature of Mayank Sharma she said,"By god..!! tum na samjhna bada hi mushkil hai.. ab chale..yaa raat bhar yahi rehna hai...?". He just nodded his head and duo moved together out of the room.
Party was going on full swing, the man sat on the piano table and said," Hello everyone, I am really thankful for everyone for joining us on this auspicious day of mine and Stella..Today god is also showering his love with this rain on us.. So Stella my beautiful beautiful better half...this is the song I want to dedicate to you...and I want all the lovely couple standing out here join the center and Stella...sweetie I want you to stand beside me, want see your each expression when I am gonna sing this favourite song of yours.".
Mayank and Nupur were also forced to join the stage, music begin, Nupur asked Mayank," Tumko dance kerna to ataa hai na.. dekho mein nahi chahti ki sabke saamne mera mazak bane samjhe...". He replied to her remark,," Madam Nupur Bhushan.. tumne abhi mujhe jana hi kahan hai..!". She smiled, but as soon song hit their ear drums both were lost in the world were only they exist and no one.
Strangers in the night
Exchanging glances
Wondering in the night
What were the chances
The lyrics was completely depicting their story
We'd be sharing love
Before the night was through?
They recalled the time they had their first eye lock at the moonlight of cruize
Something in your eyes
Was so inviting
Something in your smile
Was so exciting
Mayank's heart skip a beat, her eyes her smile was making him to loose his sense, he was staring her senselessly not sure why but yeah, he don't like fear in her eyes, he agrees with her to say lie about themselves as he could not able to deny her cute face..but why..his heart...what his heart wants and question was answered in the next lyrics of songs.
Something in my heart told me I must have you
Strangers in the night, two lonely people
Nupur was also keenly looking at him, being a stranger to her, apart from being a rival she still was relaxed that Mayank was there with her.
We were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello
Little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
He swing her a round and grabbed her waist pulling her close and intently looking into her eyes as the lyrics were creating their own magic.
And ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night
Is it love they are feeling of each other, the lyrics of songs was creating a havoc of question and a fight between themselves, but still they could able to leave each other and song's lyrics were working like a spell on them
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Ever since that night
We've been together
Lovers at first sight
In love forever
It turned out so right
For strangers in the night
They were dancing swiftly and smoothly, being unaware that they were only dancing couple in the stage, for everyone their love was dancing in sway and for them it was a magic and a word Love' was hitting their ear drums always the time they look into each other eyes.
