kinza plz continue. cant wait more.

thank u so much for the immense love all of you .. 🤗 ..
I know in this FF, the most important part is the flashback of MN, so you will be getting glimpses in their past, first i thought of writing a continuous flashback, but it was getting boring, so i will write snippets where required .. ENJOY!! ..

Their minds were just blank. Nupur's mind was occupied with the thoughts of pranav that he must sleep comfortably and mayank was thinking that if he made a mistake or not.

Revolving the steel door knob, they both entered the place which was from now onwards their room. THEIR room ' this noun showing possession to both of them increased their nervousness.

Looking around the room, Nupur did find it very huge compared to her previous room, but still the aura was alien and the room had something which wanted her to flee the place right now!

"Nupur..", and the very moment when she was thinking of running away, the voice broke her trail of thoughts! .. symbolical .. this voice is going to stop her always ..

She turned to find him already staring at her intently, unconsciously adjusting her duppata, she looked in his eyes and he smiled lightly,

"listen I hope there isn't a problem, I know didi becomes a bit over ' asserting, but she'll leave by tomorrow, so u can sleep with pranav if u want.", he proposed and Nupur felt breath coming again.

"thank u so much, actually nayi jaga hai tu I was..

"it's okay, I understand, I am a parent too., I would also never let my child sleep alone at a new place", he replied calmly and headed to change and Nupur breathed a sigh of relief.

As now she was alone in the room so she got a chance to observe around, it was lavishly decorated, but still it was simple. The curtains, the bedcovers, the overall aura of the room was calm and peaceful. Light colors with subtle arrangement. She liked the room, and her lips in voluntarily curved in a smile. The front wall was graced by a huge picture of mayank and Rahul. He was sitting in his lap, while mayank had his arms around him. The smiles on their faces told the depth of their bond. Nupur just smiled at the picture, as it was a really beautiful picture, something which spoke volumes. She was busy admiring it when the click of the door brought her out of her trance and she turned back to find that mayank had changed and was now standing in front of the mirror , drying his hair.

After a momentary look, she turned her eyes away, his wet hair was making her feel awkward, and mayank who observed the sudden movement of eyes through the mirror also got conscious.

"okay so now we'll behave like teenagers!, great!!", he said and huffed under his breath whereas Nupur sensed a voice, "kuch kaha ap ne?", she turned and mayank bit his tongue, "umm nahi, kuch suna tum ne?", he asked innocently and Nupur suppressed her smile, "nahi"

"good!", he breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the bed while Nupur slowly headed towards the cupboard, and grabbing her night suit, she went to change.

As Nupur closed the door of the washroom, she felt nerves calming down and so did mayank, in the room.

"God!!, ye tu bohat muskil hai!", he took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

"main kaise rahon gi is tarah, all of this is so awkward!", she opened the tap and splashed her face with cold water.

"I just hope agreeing to didi wasn't a mistake", totally confused he started pacing around in the room.

"mayank u should get married",

diya slid a jam toast in his plate and said strictly,

"didi please, I can't get married!", he spoke from behind the news paper and diya snatched it from his hand, "and why is that so?",

"come on didi, what do u want?, I should bring a step mother for Rahul?, I just don't understand why do u even start this topic?", he replied irritated and took the paper back.

"you can marry a nice girl, someone..

"no body is nice enough to love someone else's child like her own, please didi, even expecting this is un practical!"

"but this home needs a woman!"

"come on didi, ap ho na!", he smiled and pulled her cheeks and diya pushed him away, "I come once in a year, and now again I am leaving next month mayank, and before that, you need to get married and I want to see this home like it used to be, filled with laughers and joys", diya replied with teary eyes and mayank pressed her hands,

"the glorious past cannot return didi, this home is empty and it will remain empty, no one can re-fill happiness, it was thrown into darkness when we lost kanchi, and it will always remain in this darkness", he replied with a painful smile, which pricked diya's heart

"mayank you are forgetting that the day we lost kanchi was the day we got Rahul, kanchi gave u light before she left, and now you can't di-illuminate it"

Mayank opened mouth to interrupt but diya resumed soon,

"I know rahul doesn't needs a mother, but you need a companion, you are just 28, how are u going to spend the rest of your life alone?, she asked helplessly while mayank lovingly placed his arms around diya's shoulders.

"I am not alone didi, I have you, your family ,my darling nieces and nephews, my oh so naughty jiju and most of all.. I have Rahul!, i have so many people,

"but you don't have a companion, mayank think about it, I am not asking you to marry a young girl, but someone who is mature, who knows your condition, who will be patient, mayank I am not asking you to fall in love again, but companionship is necessary mayank, you are alone and no one in this world can survive alone ..

"didi , "he again tried to interrupt but was cut between

"mayank I want you to meet the girl I have chosen'

"what?", he replied in shock, "you have already chosen?"

"yes I have, and you are meeting her tomorrow, and I want YES as an answer" Diya declared and left mayank huffing on the sofa.

And right then the window sill collided due to wind and mayank came back to present. He looked around and Nupur wasn't back. Sighing, he opened the window.

Nupur was just trying to calm herself with cold water. Finally feeling a bit stable, she came back in the room, finding mayank standing by the window, she got somewhat shocked to see him enjoying weather like this,, but the ignoring this thought, she quietly started brushing her hair.

Opening the window lead mayank to a path down his past, he closed his eyes to remember the day when he brought kanchi as his bride in this home .. this very room ..

"mayank stop staring please, ajeeb lag raha hai!!",

kanchi huffed standing in front of the mirror, trying hard to control her blush and mayank's smirk increased,

"kiya ajeeb lag raha hai?, shaddi se pehle tu larti rehti thi k tumahin attention nahi deta hon, aur ab jab de raha hon tu ajeeb lag raha hai?"

"Very funny", she glared at him through the mirror and took off her bangles when his pair of strong arms embraced her and she closed her eyes over this sudden gesture of affection,

"I love u kanchi.."

"mayank"

He opened his eyes and was bewildered to find that he was standing alone and moreover he was so lost that he had to turn to see that it was nupur's voice which brought him out of his trance.

"ap thek ho?", she was worried and mayank just looked away to hide the traces of his pain that must have been evident on his face.

"yeah , I was just thinking something else, sorry, tum kuch keh rahi thi?", he was satisfied with his try of acting normal, but the very next moment, nupur's searching eyes made him realize that his efforts were not that successful, "kiya baat hai Nupur?", what are u staring?", he bluntly asked and Nupur turned her eyes away, "nahi , wo kuch nahi, wo main .. ik baar pranav ko dekh aaon?", she asked scared but mayank smiled affectionately, "sure, is main pochne wali kaunsi baat hai?, go ahead!",

Smiling gratefully, she went out of the room, but reaching on the door, she found mayank was again looking outside the window, totally lost. Sighing, she finally went out of the room.

She walked towards the room, where didi went with pranav, and very carefully, she creaked opened the door and it was lighted with a dim lamp. She stepped inside and tip toed to the huge bed in the center of the room and found that pranav was properly tucked in the bed, and holding her picture tight, he was fast asleep. Her heart contracted with affection and her eyes got moist, as she slowly bend down to kiss his cheek, and pulling the blanket over him properly, she walked out of the room.

As she was walking back to her room, she momentarily stopped in front of rahul's room. "I must see if he has slept or not", nervously she placed her hand over the door knob but something inhibited her from opening the door. "jaon k nahi?", she murmured under her breath and pondering over the thought for a while, she decided not to go, "ye tu us ka apna ghar hai, he must have slept". Uncertain, she walked pass by his room, but Rahul inside was awake.

-----------------------------------

"pata hai mama!!, bua asked me to call that aunty mom!", Rahul was hidden completely inside his blanket and whispering to kanchi's picture."I don't like her, she is not at all pretty!", he brushed his tiny fingers over kanchi's smiling picture and hugged it, "I will never call her mom!, you are my mom!!"

---------------------------------------------

When Nupur came back in the room, mayank was sitting in the bed and reading something, "so gaya hai pranav?', he asked as Nupur entered the room.

"gi, so gaya hai,", she replied, as her eyes glowed with a twinkle and mayank smiled at her love for her son, so deep that even eyes started glowing on his name.

"good, ummm ..", he got up from the bed and walked towards Nupur, "are u alright if we share the bed, or if u want then I can even sleep on the sofa for today, and tomorrow when didi leaves, I can shift in guestroom", he plainly said those words and Nupur felt herself trembling all over.

Firstly his question was so awkward, and secondly he was staring at her so intently that Nupur wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it, but then finally she gained strength, as the only gesture pouring out of his eyes was respect.

" umm.. no .. I ..it's okay, wasie bhi we are married, it's better we don't run away from the fact ", she stammered and looked at him who simply shrugged his shoulders and went back to lie down on the position he was just sitting.

Taking a deep breath she walked to her place, totally opposite mayank, and quietly lied down, pulling a bit of blanket towards herself.

Both of them had turned their sides opposite to each other and were blankly staring at a point.

"Nupur",

Nitesh whispered and crawled his hand around her waist and chills ran down her spine, she turned in his arms and next she was lifted off the floor.

The few steps towards their bed felt as if the journey of an eternity, being carried in her husband's arm, with his eyes so lovingly gazing at her, she felt the bliss of heaven.

"I love you Nupur", Nitesh entwined his fingers in nupurs', as both of them just completed the last stage of their love, where they had submitted to each other completely.

Nupur just smiled shyly and hid her face in his arms, while he placed another soft kiss on her ear.

Nupur.."

And a voice from the external world just made her realize that she was thinking was past.

"gi", she sat up totally shocked, making sure her eyes weren't moist, "wo pani pass kar do", he signaled to the side table of her side, and she quickly filled a glass of water and handed him.

"thank you", he took the glass and placed the tablet in his mouth and gulped down water.

"sorry tumahin disturb kiya, I actually can't sleep without these pills", he smiled and lied down while Nupur was just left staring at him.

Can't sleep without sleeping pills!, this thought just ran a wave of shiver in her body, and her heart filled with a strange concern, but she was too hesitant to ask anything.

So quietly lying down, she too slept.
