Chapter 1: "Last Chances
Nupur Gupta the girl every boy was crazy over, yet she only dreamed of one guy and one guy only. You see she claimed she "LOVED" him, but she was filled with too much Pride you may say to confess. Or the matter could be just that she was afraid to have her fragile little heart broken by someone she had already given her heart too? Afraid that if he rejected her, she wouldn't be able to move on in life, scared that if he said those words 3 words to him, maybe she'd have to share her life with him. Don't be confused, she does love him but she hasn't to learn to let go of this so called Pride in order to let him in.
"the bitch is here" Lisa, Nupur's personal assistant growled within her breaths as Ms. Gupta entered dressed elegantly in a one of a kind made for her only, Gucci dress, which seemed to hug her in all the right places.
"Aww and a good morning to you also Lisa, Lisa" Nupur smirked placing her handbag and coat on the desk, avoiding her gaze Lisa managed to smile, "Good morning Mam"
"I want all the Sharma files on my desk in 5" Lisa nodded scribbling down on her notepad, Pausing Nupur looked around, " where's Sahil? I told that boy to be here 7 sharp and its ---"before she could even complete her sentence, Lisa cut in "Mam, Sahil called to say he is stuck in traffic, some horrible accident occurred!"
Lisa could guess by the look on Nupurs face, that she not pleased and that meant more work for her, " kill me NOW" she thought while sulking away from the inside.
"coffee NOW" Nupur yelled before entering her cabin, to this day no one knew why she was like a ' B***? See no one really knew, many presumed, many gossiped but the truth was hidden somewhere beneath her.
Nupur had been 22 when she had joined the office; right after she had graduated with honors in MBA, her father had made her join. And ever since she had joined she was like this, cranky, mean, selfish, as her staff described her of course. She cared about none and none cared about her as much as they knew. They had seen her stay in the office for long nights and come early. Mr. Gupta Had divorced Mrs. Gupta 6 months later and he had denounced himself from the company and its responsibilities. May be that was the motivation behind her attitude? But we can't say for sure.Although she appears to have everything a girl could want, her life is far from perfect.
"Coffee mam" extending the mug towards nupur, Lisa smiled brightly.
Nupur grabbed the cup and got up --- there were a lot of pictures on the walls, childhood pictures; many were with her father and the moments they had spent together. The office was painted dark maroon, because the color surprisingly reduced her head aces and lights were dim, in the middle was a lavish oak desk polished to perfection and on it lay office necessities.
"Did you get in contact with the Sharmas?" Nupur asked inquisitively, while sipping away the warm fluid. Lisa nodded no swallowing her breath; she expected a lot of screaming but was surprised to see a pleasant smile adoring her bosses face. She wondered what god was thinking when he made the great "Nupur Gupta?"
"Good" Nupur smiled, she placed her mug down and picked up the file herself, "get me the limo, time to make a little trip to the Sharma Industries" Lisa was confused by Nupurs behavior but she chose to stay quiet for the first time she had seen Nupur smile, she didn't want to say anything to ruin the moment.
"Sure mam" Lisa exited the office, simultaneously Nupur stood in front of the office window starring off into the light blue sky," " I'm coming dear, better watch out, you can't avoid me for long now can you? Today will be your last chance --- after this I will make my own decisions"

"Oh, Mayank you're a Greek God" Mayank gleamed as the girl placed in his lap traced her finger down his well structured face outlining his features. He seemed to be enjoying every moment of it.
"Mayank why don't we go somewhere private, somewhere no one can disturb us? Your father won't be pleased to see such behavior from his son at office" displeasure spread on his face as he pushed jasmine off his lap, " Mayan'" before she could even complete her sentence, he pointed towards the door.
He figured she had enough self respect to leave when told too. And fortunately she did, unlike his previous endeavor.
Mayank Sharma owner of Sharma Industries, well not exactly he is a co ' owner along with his step mother. His mother died after he was born, and his father decided to remarry, Sia Malhotra was his latest project or 6th project to be exact. Some left him and others he left, perhaps loosing his wife made Mr. Sharma fickle. Alike his father, Mayank was same after all the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...might we say.
"Sir Ms. Gupta is here to see you" the secretary buzzed in interrupting his chain of thought, "oh what a pleasure, do send her in" he said fixing his suit, "see I told you'd be back, Darling you have to bow down I won't have it any other way" with his sly smile glued to his face, he took a seat awaiting the arrival of one special girl.
In came the glamour girl herself, "to what do I owe this visit Darling?" mayank asked surprisingly even though he knew she was bound to come back to him.
"oh please don't think fly too high, People like you have the tendency to fall flat on their faces" she replied humorously taking a seat.
"I see you haven't changed?" walking towards her, he bent down to blow on her face, "people don't change Mayank situations do!"
She closed her eyes feeling his warm and filled with affection breath, which seemed to tingle every little sense within her body. No wonder she was so crazy about this guy. Mayank smirked seeing his effect on her, only if she would crumble but he knew her more than she knew herself. She would never say those three words''
"so why are you actually here?" he asked eyeing the file in her hands while nupur felt desolation as he went far away from her. How she wished he would hold her in his arms forever.
"well no specific reason---" she paused then getting up she walked towards him, pulling him towards herself, " I came to see if you have changed you mind?" Mayank closed in and placed his hands around her back, "have you?" he asked
Nupur closed more until their cheeks were rubbing against each other, "Say those three words you wanted me to say"
Mayank opted to chuckle at her statement, "Are you joking with me?" the look on nupur's face obviously told him, she was in no mood to joke, "Not quite. Eight letters. Three syllables. Say them and I'm yours Mayank"
Mayank twisted her around, her back lay on his chest and his chin rested on her bare shoulder, "I'm already yours, you're ruining the mood with all this talk" Nupur knew he wouldn't ever say and never would she, but being a human she couldn't resist from trying at least.
"You can't say it. What you wanted it from me" Nupur closed her eyes as she felt them becoming wet "Nupur Gupta, I...will never say those words to you"
She pushed him away, Picking up her handbag she headed towards the door, not before stopping to look back"Mayank you will never have me. Today was your last chance, don't say I didn't give you a chance" and she walked out painfully.
Mayank sharma the guy whom she hated but fell in love with gradually, She had met him during college at that time he had been taken. But when they had called it splits, Nupur made a dash for it and instantly fell in love with him. She wanted him, needed him, but she wouldn't crumble down before he did. She couldn't her pride was too much to bow down; her love was filled with too much ego to even think of confessing before he did.
Mayank walked towards the window, to see her black limo drive away and it felt as if a part of him was being taken away from him.
"Kaise bataye.. kyu tujh ko chahe.. yaara batana paye"
