" you know this book weighs more than you", he said seriously and Nupur shifted her eye balls to him, "this is Harry Potter, and no jokes on it!", she replied stiffly and mayank placed his arms around her waist and although this led to a rush of blood in her body, but still she made sure she kept her eyes on the book,

"I know this is Harry Potter book 5, order of the phoenix, the one in which sirus dies" , he replied and Nupur turned towards him in disbelief, "you have read the series?", she asked and mayank was amused at her excitement, "yes i have", he replied calmly, taking the book from her hand .

"you never told!", she asked, still in daze while mayank was busy skimming through the book, "you never asked", he said normally turning the pages and Nupur went at a loss of words.

Mayank and Nupur were married last month, a typical arrange marriage, after an engagement of one month, both of them were tied in matrimony.

Mayank was a lively person, vibrant and friendly, while Nupur was complete opposite to him, quiet and introvert someone who would prefer loneliness instead of crowd.

Mayank's lively nature threw her in dilemma the very first night, when he joyfully shared every slightest bit of significant happening in his life,. while Nupur was feeling uncomfortable to speak about her life. It was not that she had secrets or some apprehensions in this marriage. She was very happy, mayank was a perfect dream partner, rich, successful, good looking, loving , caring and considerate , but still there was something which kept her away from him, maybe that mayank's over asserting nature never let her come at ease with him. Every time she tried talking to him, but it never came from her heart and this attitude of Nupur was coming in between them.

"ummm .. mayank . I ..", she stammered, struggling for words, while meanwhile mayank placed the book away and diverted all his attention to her, "haan gi .. at your service…", he softly held her hands and Nupur wanted to return the affection she was seeing in his eyes, but she didn't know how to.

"I am sorry, I know I don't talk, i am quiet all the time, but I swear this doesn't mean that I have a problem .. I ..", she again lost her words as she saw mayank was ardently looking at her,

"aisaye kia dekh rahey hain?", she asked slowly, in a scared tone, while mayank pulled her close, slipping his arm across her waist, "ye chance pehli baar mila hai, to see my wife speaking, so I am enjoying", he said, brushing his lips softly over her cheeks and nupur closed her eyes, "continue Nupur .. I am listening!", he said and Nupur immediately opened her eyes and tried to hide her nervousness, but was failing miserably, k

"mayank .. I just stay quiet because I .. I am a bit of an introvert person, I just need some time and I will ..

"you will?", mayank moved more close, as his breath was playing on her cheeks and nupur's eyelids again sealed her eyes, her nervousness was exceeding limits and mayank was enjoying teasing her,

"I will start talking and sharing", she said in an almost whisper and opened her eyes and find him smiling, "mayank I do talk to my sisters and my family, I mean you can ask .. I ..

"I don't need to ask anyone about MY wife", he stressed on My and increased his grip over her wasit and she lowered her eyes, "mayank I have been living with them since 22 years, and it's just one month since our marriage .. I will.."

"you will what Nupur?, you stop at the most crucial point ..", he glared at her and Nupur couldn't believe he was teasing her when she was being so nervous, but the naughty tinge in his voice made her smile,

"intelligent people only require a hint, ",s he glared back and mayank got lost in her eyes and a glint f glow on her face, "I'll wait Nupur .. ", and his promise was followed by a gentle kiss on her check with vibrated the deepest chord of nupur's heart, "but I hope it's not 22 years", he sighed and her eyes which were about to close due to blush were wide opened, but as they met his penetrating eyes, blush took over them again, and mayank's heart warmed at her innocent gestures and after kissing her cheek again, he placed his head in her lap and closed his eyes. This act of mayank actually made her blush deeply and she slowly started stroking his hair until he fell asleep.
