Nupur stood in front of the mirror, nervous and confused. Although she did smirk in front of mayank, but she was nervous, and she thought she didn't look good.
She was dressed in a black off ' shoulder gown till her toes, it was fitting perfectly to her body . Her dress had a light shine of velvet and with it her open hair which were neatly adjusted with a few pins so they don't flow on her face and look neat. She had applied light make up which perfectly went with her dress, and then she wore a silver bracelet and a silver wrist watch in both her arms.
She tried a diamond necklace in her neck but it looked OOT, so decided upon a delicate diamond chain and small earrings to match with it. Finally wearing her high heels, she looked at the mirror for a final view, and getting some what satisfied, she headed downstairs
Mayank was waiting for her impatiently, and as he heard the door open, his heart beat increased.
Nupur descended down the stairs, just like a princess coming down her castle. She was coming brushing her hands down the railing, with a nervous smile, as three of them were staring at her in sheer amazement.
Her eyes fell on mayank and he had a light smile and his eyes conveyed everything which made color creep up her cheeks, un consciously her hands went up to her neck and then back to the railing, it was the first time she was coming in front of him like this and she was shy.
"umm.. chalen", she reached down the stairs and said but mayank was quiet which was making her more nervous.
"mummy you look so ..", pranav said but couldn't complete his sentence and Rahul came forward, "mummy you look so beautiful", he said but pranav shook his head,
"not beautiful Rahul, mummy is looking ..', pranav was not satisfied with rahul's description and then Rahul gave the perfect option,
"mummy is looking so HOT!!, right pranav ?', rahul said excitedly and pranav nodded, "yes mummy is looking hot!!", pranav also said and nupur felt her cheeks would burn under mayank's gaze.
"what did u both just say., ye kahan se sekha hai?", nupur tried being strict and mayank also joined, "exactly ye words kahan se sekhey hain?', although he whole 'heartedly agreed with the kids. Nupur did look extremely hot but the parent ' mayank took over the husband- mayank,.
"sorry .. did we say something wrong?", Rahul said and nupur nodded, "very wrong, next time I don't want you both to use such words, beautiful is alright!", she glared and the kids nodded.
"sorryyy", they said lyrically, which melted their hearts and kissing their cheeks and instructing them again about how to behave they both were out in the parkway, walking with each other, quiet.
Mayank opened the car doors and nupur held his arm, "ap ne bataya nahi main kaise lag rahi hon?, I mean main ne bht dair baad aisa dress pehna hai ,tu ,, ', she asked searching his face and mayank pulled her close through her waist.
" I was about to tell you how beautiful you are looking, just like a princess, absouelety beautiful and gorgeous, an angel, and too captivating for even take my eyes off, and frankly speaking, I don't want to take you to any party where so many people are going to look at you, I just want to seal this beauty for my own self.. only I have the right over this heavenly sight", he said without any pause and nupur was left looking at him speechless.
"but I won't behave like a physic and we will go the party, but I'll make sure you just stay with me, , he kissed her cheek and unable to say anything, she just smiled and sat inside. This was the only confidence she needed.
Mayank was driving holding her hand and he was disappointed when they reached the venue.
"kafi jaldi a gaya na!", he sighed and nupur giggled, "will u please stop behaving like a love sick, chalen ab?, she glared and mayank sighed again,
They entered the hall, which presented the view of a typical business and corporate gathering, everyone had followed the dress code and as they entered, a round of greetings started.
"Welcome Mr Sharma,",
the host Nandani Singhania, was a young and smart girl, dressed in black flowy gown, smiling vibrantly came towards them,
"thank you so much nandani", mayank smiled and she turned towards nupur, "and she must be your wife, right"
"yes, ", mayank placed his arm around her waist and nupur smiled, "hello , nupur", she extended her hand and nandani took it smiling,
" U mean Nupur Mayank Sharma right?, she giggled and nupur felt pins being pricked in her ears.
"Nupur Nitesh Mehta .. the most perfect name of this world"
"Right?", nandani again asked and nupur was at a loss of what to react. She smiled and nodded.
"lucky girl you are, you know mayank had a long list of suitors, including me", she winked at maaynk stated laughing.
"stop it nandani, you don't like seeing couples peaceful without fights", he smiled and looked at nupur who was lost in thoughts.
"nupur"?, mayank whispered and fumbling nupur smiled, "exactly, already I receive so many complains about mayank, and you are being an addition", and on this three of them giggled and moved in.
The party was on it's peak when they entered. Mayank was busy in the compamy of the business elite class, while nupur was talking with another group of people in the other corner of the hall.
After that small incident on the entrance door, nupur was facing a constant threat of gushing tears flowing down her eyes but she made sure to force a smile, because she knew mayank was stealing glances at her constantly.
Mayank was just in awe of the way she was confidently interacting and socializing, her smile and style had made her respect even more and with every passing minute, he was finding it difficult to take his eyes off her.
After about an hour, when nupur had finally found a secluded corner and was standing lost in thoughts when she felt something warm caressing her shoulder and within a second she realized it was mayank kissing her,
"mayank!!", she gasped and moved away, "ye kia kar rahe ho ap", she normalized her breath and mayank smiled, "ab tum aisey akeli jagah per khari ho jao gi tu main kia karon?", he smiled at her and nupur lowered her eyes,
"waise tum yahan akeli kyun khari ho?", he raised her face and looked in her eyes and she smiled, "kuch nahi, bus bachon ko phone kiya tha, tu is liye yahan ..", she tired to speak in a normal tone.
"tum thek ho na nupur .. kuch hua hai? , kisi ne kuch kaha hai"?, he rubbed her cheeks and the first impulse was to hug him and cry, but she still managed to force a smile, "main thek hon mayank, ap aisey kyun poch rahe ho?"
"you smile has something missing", he said cupped her face and the tears which she was trying to hide since the past two hours, finally dwelled up in her eyes.
"main thek hon mayank, just a minor issue, main thek hon"
"tum thek ho?, then why do I see ur eyes shining with tears?".,he asked strictly and before she could say anything else, nupur saw nandani coming towards them and she smiled and moved away.
"hmm , so you both are romancing leaving the whole party alone", she glared and mayank faked a smile, "no, it's not like that ..
"whatever!, I am here for an offer, Mr sharma, Will you honor me with a dance", she extended her hand and mayank looked at nupur and she smiled, signaling him to go ahead, but the look in her eyes was so vulnerable that there was no way he could leave her alone.
"ummm, nandani, I am in no mood of a divorce, nupur will kill me if I leave her and go dance with you", he pouted and before nupur could say anything , he had already held her hand and nandani smiled, "hmm , okay, , I 'll find someone else , wasie bhi mayank just looks perfect with nupur ..", she smiled and mayank held her hand and they both went to the dance floor,
"mayank please, mujhe .. ",she tried to protest but she was silenced, with a gentle peck on her lips.
He slipped his hand across her waist in a very possessive manner and pulled her close, where she almost collided with his chest. She crawled her hand upto his shoulder and mayank entwined their fingers, just then the music started..
Everybody needs inspiration, Everybody needs a song
The beautiful melody, When the nights alone
'Cause there is no guarantee, That this life is easy
Yeah when my world is falling apart, When there's no light to break up
The dark, that's When I, I, I look at you
Mayank and nupur slowly started moving with the melody, with mayank constantly looking in her eyes and not letting her lower her eyes, neither did nupur want to lower her eyes. She never thought that feeling of non-acceptance will haunt her again, she had moved so far but then one incident and she came back from where she started.
It would be unfair to tell mayank that'she still didn't like her name being joined with him, she again felt that prick in her heart.
"Nupur u still don't trust me?", and with this he twirled her.
When the waves are flooding the shore and I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you.
After two twirls, she was pulled back, now her back pressing against his chest and hands completely entwined on her waist.
The warmth of his nearness had again started to show it's effect and nupur had started to feel weak and vulnerable, as if this was the only place she could hide herself and let her heart cry out.
"bola na , ab bhi baten chupani hai mujh se?", he asked in a whisper and she closed her eyes to let the tears flow.
After letting a few tears flow, she opened her eyes and titled her neck to see his eyes.
When I look at you I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone.
Looking in his eyes made her heart melt like ice under sun and she turned in his arms, and placed her head on his chest, while he again entwined their fingers, and slowly moving melody.
"mayank ..", she said in a whisper and mayank made her look up to him and slipped his arm across her waist again and she placed her hand over his shoulder.
"kia baat hai nupur?", he could still observe tears in her eyes even in this dim light.
"what do you feel for me?', and as she said this, the music changed.
I was blessed the day I found you
Sometimes I just can't believe
That someone like you so beautiful
Can stay with a man like me
So whatever made us sad in our past
Lets put all that behind
Cos what we share right now
Is the sacred vow
I'll be with you, I'll be with you
Ooh baby
"do you think I need to say more?", he whispered as the stanza finished and music started and nupur grabbed his collar.
"it's not that easy to leave the past behind", she said burying her head in his shoulders and he increased his grip over her waist.
"I never asked you to leave the past behind", he placed a soft kiss on her ear and mayank twirled her and pulled her back,
She looked in his eyes and asked in a helpless voice and with teary eyes,
"then how to move on? "
