Okay hello.....You won't believe but after reading all my stories in one go. I actually have come to the self relization that i can writeš. So i wrote this story, its only partly done, won't be that long.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concept: Nupur really does not believe in the whole marriage concept because her dad left her mother after she was born. She hates Men but accepted this marriage as her mothers wish to see her blissfully married . Mayank loves nupur very much but he wants to break down the egotistic veiw of hers along with helping her come to the realization that not all men are like her dad.
Sometimes When You Least Expect it Love Happens....
Ch.1 The Challenge
The bright light shone through the window as I forced my eyes to open, taking a look at the clock. I smiled gradually until it hit me, 7.00am pulling the comforter off I got up. My eyes instantly caught hold of mayank who was sleeping soundly on the couch. A sad smile slowly crept up my face as the memories of last night came back. I had straight up told mayank about needing my own space and my refusal to accept this marriage straight away. Mayank did not have much to say about it, as I had already guessed but there was something'that made me regret my words but still I was adamant about my decision. Mayank seemed to be calm and settle after my speech about how this marriage was not exactly my idea and he should really not expect much from me. All he had said was, "I hope you do not regret your words" after that he had silently taken a pillow along with a comforter and had quietly moved towards the couch.
I grabbed a towel from the cupboard and headed towards the shower. After a long steamy shower to calm down my newly wedded nerves I came out.
While I was lost in my thoughts there seemed to be no end to the knocking on the door, looking over at mayank thought to wake him up but then dismissed the thought.
I opened the door with a bright smile greeting my sister ' in ' law "bhabiiiiii" she squealed with too much delight.
"Neha so early in the morning what a shocker?" I questioned her keeping the door open as little as possible hoping that neha would not catch her brother and my husband sleeping on the couch after a day of our wedding. That would certainly not sit right with her'.hell it would sit right with me but what to do?.
"Actually mom sent this sari for you to wear and told me to inform you and bro about the prayer held for you both" I happily accepted the sari and then moved to close the door but neha was too cunning for my mind, she pushed open the door, "what are you hiding?"
My eyes quickly found the couch, sighing in relief upon finding it empty, "where is bro?" neha asked tauntingly turning towards me but the noise of water running calmed down her nerves making her smile, " okay I will wait for you both downstairs'.come soon" with that she was gone like the wind.
Now what about this at this pooja. my mom who had managed to enlighten me with the marriage 101 course but forgot to tell me about this aspect. My wandering thoughts found there way to mayank and his disappearance from the couch Nevertheless I was happy and contend that the reality of our relationship.
I picked up the sari and went to change while Mayank took a shower.
-----------------------------------------------
I need some time were her exact words last night when I moved towards her. I had expected that but there was something else in her eyes'fear maybe? I did not protest over her words rather simply accepted but sometimes'time is the best thing. The hot water was enough to calm down my nerves that were still tensed over last night conversation. Her words that she is in this marriage for her parents and how I should not expect much from her would for some reason not leave my mind. What did she mean by that? Was she forced into this marriage? Was she not happy? Did she love someone else? Whatever the thought maybe, I would try to make this marriage work for the sake of those promises that we made to each other, for the sake of both are families .and for my sake.
I was always the reserved type of guys never had any interest in girls'and anything in and about them. But the day I spotted Nupur at my cousin's wedding, it was love at first sight. Her simplicity compelled me to make her mine but now that she was mine. It didn't feel the same. She was the same bubbly girl anymore, Instead she was mature person who took every decision based on her mind rather than her heart. Just seeing her sleeping soundly in front of me makes my day. The thought of loosing her just did not sit right with me.
As I walked out with a towel wrapped around my shoulder to catch the drips of water from the hair before they wetted my clothes, I saw her struggling to tie the little ribbon behind her sari. She was facing me but had failed to notice me due to her mission. She looked gorgeous with her wet scattered everywhere, with Just a little kajjal between her big black eyes that first attracted me to her. Red did wonders to her petite figure, it made her look more stunning not that she was not stunning enough, Just the red color was her it color. She was still busy in her mission not noticing me, the thought occurred that I should walk over and help her but her words, I need space wouldn't allow me too. When did I become someone who listens to others orders? I questioned myself walking over to the cupboard to take out my clothes but there was a suit already laid out on the bed. She saw me pick up the suit but kept quiet as she was still not done with her mission.
I brushed past her but stopped and backed myself up, without any judgment or any questions. I grabbed hold of the ribbons from her warm soft hands that slowly backed away finding me there. She slowly raised her eyes to meet mines, and the heavens met as both our gazes collided with each other.
" bhabi?" the door flung open breaking our eye contact. "oops sorry!" Neha my younger sister concluded seeing me and nupur like this. Well I really did not blame her, Me and Nupur were pretty close.
I turned around to see neha covering her eyes with her hands, "can I look now?" she asked like a little kid. Nupur had eyes down casted refusing to look at me, "neha!" I said in a warning tone.
Neha smiled," bro mom is calling you both down, Panditji is here"
"okay we will be down in a few minutes" Neha left closing the door, I turned around to see nupur walking towards the dresser. Her ribbon was tied now figures?, I sighed and went to change. No point in regretting over a missed chance to be close to your wife. That neha, something had to be done about her, otherwise she would definitely spoil all my chances. But I doubt I would have any seeing the look on Nupurs face that showed regret and remorse.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dad was busy with the newspaper and Neha well what could say about her? She found pleasure in teasing me. Her looks said everything her big blabber mouth did not say. Mom and Nupur were in the kitchen getting breakfast ready. Now that the special pooja was done, Mom was more satisfied of our marriage.
Nupur walked out carrying a tray and behind her mom trailed with another tray, "neha why don't you help mom? You know do something productive with your time" I asked my little sister who winked at me as soon as nupur walked out.
"dad look bro is teasing me again" she squealed to dad who had put down the paper upon sighting my mother.
"mayank ' " dad started out but was cut by mom, " okay come on breakfast is ready"
Nupur took a seat beside me, Mom looked over at us and smiled, "may god protect you both from evil eye" she said with delight. My mom was always like that worrying about the future.
"Dad today there is a meeting at 11.00 for the Mehra tender" distraction myself I said to dad. Who smiled and nodded, "Yes, but we still have to discuss the details of it"
"stop it both of you! No business talks during breakfast time and mayank what is this Just a day after your wedding. You want to go to the office?" Mom looked at me and then at nupur who was busy nibbling on a piece of bread lost in her thoughts.
"But Mom" I started out but was stopped by neha, "mom don't you know bro only listens to his dear wife" she said teasingly
"oh okay then, Nupur tell mayank he can't go to office today" mom said sweetly to her dear daughter ' In ' law but Nupur seemed to be lost. I smiled, "mom don't worry na" but my mother was still not sure she looked towards dad.
"Sunil, I want you to give mayank a 3 weeks holiday." Dad nodded obediently.
"3 weeks???" the shock in my voice did not go unnoticed by anyone. I looked at Nupur who looked down without any emotions on her face.
"for your honeymoon bro" neha said looking at nupur and me, "imagine you and bhahi alone in Goa for 3 weeks! You get the idea na!" I looked at nupur who was in a fury after hearing neha's words.
"Honeymoon? Mom there is no need for that" I said after seeing nupur's worried expressions, "haan ma'Mayank is right! There is no need for a honeymoon just yet" Nupur said looking towards me.
"I don't care you both are going, And your ticket is confirmed for tomorrow afternoon" Nupur looked at me irritably but hid it due to the fact that the family were there.
"Mayank I'll be waiting for you in the car" dad announced as he got up. I nodded and followed Nupur upstairs to our room.
--------------------------------------------------------
Honeymoon? I can't go with mayank. This is not going the way I want; the thought of me and alone with mayank terrified me to bits. But what could I do? I needed to do something. There was no way I would go with mayank to Goa for three weeks and that too alone! This wedding was turning out to be more than a bad dream; it was Nightmare that I have to live through.
What could I do that would postpone this honeymoon? What? It didn't take long until a idea came to mind.
I headed down to the living room where mom and neha were busy watching tv and waiting for the men of the house to arrive. They didn't notice me come down as they were engrossed in the show.
I walked towards the dinning table and pretend to fall down, "BHABIII" neha said in shock as she ran to me while Mom followed in pursuit.
"Nupur beta are you okay?" mom asked with motherly concern that made me feels guilty for this whole ploy but I had to do it.
--------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes slightly and saw the whole family surrounded around with apprehension. I could not believe I had stooped so low but I had no other way.
"Nupur how are you feeling now?" dad asked me as he sat beside me on the bed. I smiled "I'm fine dad"
Mayank looked at me with a accusingly gaze, it seemed as he saw right through me.
"bhabi whats this? You should take care of yourself na" I smiled and pulled neha on the bed, "see look at me, I'm perfect and now that I have you I know I don't need to worry"
"okay everyone out, Let Nupur rest" mom announced, she kissed my forehead and headed out with dad and neha closing the door behind them
"What was the need for this?" mayank asked with a little anger in his voice.
"I said I need time, and this is your way of giving me space? going for a honeymoon?" I said getting up and walking towards the washroom.
Mayank grabbed my hand and it didn't take long for me to come in his grasp, "listen to me clear and loudly, 1) don't hurt my family, 2) I'm promised to give you space and i will abide by it 3) the honeymoon was not my idea" he said softly into my ears sending shivers up my spine.
"let me go mayank" I said angrily but he showed no sign of releasing me just yet.
"Jaan I said I would make you regret your decision but that doesn't mean I would stoop so low to get what I want" his husky voice was making me weak.
"I'm not your jaan, don't call me that" my warning was like a challenge to him, "You are only mine Jaan and there will be a day when you realize that"
"I will wait for that day Mr Sharma" I said accepting his challenge, "me too Jaan, Me too!" he said in sheer pleasure as he released me from his hold.
He walked to the washroom while I sat on the bed, I knew this was not going to be easy but seeing mayank like this made me regret calling him a nice guy. This marriage was a dreadful dream that I wanted to wake up from soon.
