Part 3

The next few days passed by very happily and quickly. We had so much fun with each other and also with our family. It was like we were back in Grade 10. I had taken some days off work and we went around visiting all of our friends and all our favourite spots in the city. Though I was happy to finally have my friend back, I was going through turmoil of emotions. Every little thing you did or said seemed to stir different feelings in me, a new kind of feeling.

It was the day we met Ria, when I finally came into terms with this new feeling. As we were doing for the past couple of days, we had just decided to meet up with some of our old friends, including Samrat. By 8'o clock at night, we were all present except Samrat. He soon came in with another classmate of ours, Ria, for god knows what reason. I had always hated this girl for there was nothing good in her to prevent me from doing so. She had always been in love with you and since I was closer to you, she had always despised me too though she never showed it.

"Mayank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" her screeching voice from the entrance turned everyone's attention to us. She pranced her way to you in her little short skirt and was all over you. When in school, you were never fond of her and would always avoid her but today you just hugged her back. I felt my heart sink for a moment but I'm not one to let people like Ria affect my mood, so I cheered up. After you, she moved toward me to hug me, but I quickly excused myself to the washroom.

When I came back, I saw her in my seat. What made it worse was the fact that you were so involved in your conversation with her that you didn't seem to notice. That little chipkoo'when she saw me, she was like, "I'm sorry Nupur'It's been so long since we talked. I hope you don't mind."

Before I said anything, you answered "Ofcourse not, right Nupur?" I felt hurt because I never thought you would want her beside you instead of me. I just nodded and then sat beside Samrat. The day seemed to get worse by the minute with that Ria taking every little opportunity to touch you. The worst fact was that you didn't seem to mind it at all. On one side I was hurt and on the other side, I was confused. Why was it affecting me so much to see my best friend with Ria? It didn't bother me when she touched or talked to Samrat or Benji or Varun. Why you? Was it because you were my bestfriend or was it because you were something much more than that? I convinced myself that it was because you were my bestfriend.

It was the end of the dinner and we were all getting ready to go. Ria had still not let go of you. As we were heading out, she seemed keen on coming with you and ditching me if possible.

"Mayank, can you can drop me off? Nupur can go with Samrat?" Okay seriously, I don't even know how it made sense to her. We were going to the same house and she wanted you to go with her and me to go with Samrat. I thought you would say something but you didn't. I couldn't take it anymore. So as soon as we stepped out, I pretended to talk on the phone.

"Mayank, Aunty called just now. We need to get home immediately." I felt bad for having to lie to you but you left me no choice. That worked as I had planned. We were on our way home in less than 2 minutes after you packed off that chipkoo with Samrat.

"What happened at home? Why did Maa call u?" You started with your questions and I didn't feel the need to lie to you anymore.

"Aunty didn't call me.."

"But then why did you?..." you pondered for a minute and by the expression on your face the next minute, I knew you understood, "Nupur, poor Ria! There was no need to do this. We could've dropped her off"

"Oh, sorry Mr.Sharma, I didn't know she was more important. U know what? Just drop me off here. I'm sure that even if you call now, she would be more than willing to come with you."

"Nupur'I never said that.." you tried to explain.

"Ya, but it's the message you are giving out since Ria joined us at dinner Mayank." I was really hurt by your behaviour at dinner. The newfound confusion in my head and my inborn possessiveness just worsened my mood.

"Nupur'" I didn't let you speak.

"I'm sorry for all the things I said tonight, but please let's not talk now"

"Nupur"

"Please"

So rest of the ride home was in silence. When we arrived home, I didn't wait for you like I usually did and proceeded upstairs. I went into the room and closed my door shut. I heard you come upstairs, wait by my door and then proceed to yours but I didn't want to see you at that time. I walked to my bed and fell on it, not bothering to care that I was still in my dinner clothes. I was still confused as to why I was getting so worked up over someone like Ria. All the time I spent with you flashed across my mind and then memories of those 5 years flashed across. How much I had yearned to be with you in those 5 years and how content I felt having you by my side again and how I hated seeing that Chipkoo with you. I was awake the whole night and by the morning, I was sure I was in love. Maybe I had been in love all along but never realized it. But the question was did you have feelings for me? Our friendship was too special for me; I didn't want anything to affect it, not Ria and definitely not my Love. They say that that if you love someone, set them free and if they come back they're yours, if they don't, they were never yours to begin with. I decided to do just that. If we were meant to be, we will somehow get together. If not, then maybe we were just meant to be true friends.

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

Next morning, I came up to your room and you were lying on the bed, wide awake. I knocked and you sat up.

"Sorry Mayank, I was being stupid last night. U know how much I hate her right? Seeing her and having a dinner with her was too much for me and I guess I took it out on you. Sorry" I said as rapidly as I can. You were silent but then you smiled.

"Itna gussa? Not good for u my dear'" I just smiled. "And I'm sorry, I didn't realize I hurt you. I would never do that on purpose. You will always be the most important girl in my life. And Missy, don't you ever think that anyone else could take your place in my life? Got it?" After last night, it really made me feel good to hear those words from you and I nodded with my trademark big smile. You pulled me into a hug, but it was unusually tight. The next week was probably one of the best times of my life. We were back to our usual masti and spent every moment possible together.

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

It was a couple of days before you were to return to California and the thought had already started eating me away. One day, you had gone out to hang out with your guy friends and I was home. Papa had just come back from work and he called me down to the dining table. When I went downstairs, everyone else beside you were present. Both our parents were seated on the dining table, while Gunjan and Uday Bhaiya were standing around. Papa asked me to sit near him and I did.

"Nupur Beta, actually I wanted to talk to you about your marriage. You are going to be 23 soon and as a father, it is my responsibility to look for a suitable groom." I didn't know what to say, so I nodded. "As far as I know you are not in love with anyone and we all came down to one suitable match. He is also a computer engineer and he works in a leading company right here in this city. He is a friend of a friend of Mayank... a great boy, no bad habits. We all think he is the suitable one for you." I had not expected this at all, especially not at this point of my life.

"You all think he is the right one?"

"Haan Beta"

"Actually Di, Mayank Bhaiya is the one who chose this groom," Gunjan's one sentence made my world spin. Yes, I had not expressed my love for him and neither did I think that he would love me back. But I had not even in my dream, thought that he would choose my groom. My world came spinning down for the second time. And whatever happened next seemed all a blur to me. Before I knew it, everyone around me were kissing me/hugging me and blessing me. Yes, they had misunderstood my silence to mean Yes.
