Chapter # 20
Nupur opened her eyes and looked at him with sheer possible disbelief, while he smiled and pulled her more close, "I love you nupur ..", he whispered again and nupur searched his eyes for honesty and did find loads of it.
Her eyes filled with tears and she parted her lips to say something but words had left her, she just looked at him and understanding her state he hugged her and she hugged back tight.
"I love you too", she said in an almost whisper from the strength which came to her from the hug. Mayank parted off and kissed her face leaving feather kisses and she was digging her nails in his back though his shirt.
"nupur .. ik aur baat bolon?", he said as she was kissing his neck, making his nerves go bersk, and she again replied with a "hmm".
"dinner nahi karna?", he asked with a giggle and nupur immediately moved away and glanced at the tray on the table and then looking in his eyes she shook her head, "nahi", she said naughtily but then shyness took her over and she hid her face in his shoulders, but mayank was too quick to pick her up, "good", he said and next they were far away from the world of senses.
----------------------------------------------------
The Sharma mansion was a hub of happiness and peace, with four people gelling together with each other more than family.
This home had the worst possible jinx of the society that was ' step siblings and step parents- but they both made sure that these things didn't matter because they lived their lives on the rule that ' loving was not difficult.
It was never difficult for Nupur to love Rahul and for Mayank to love Pranav, and neither was it difficult for Mayank and Nupur to love each other and Rahul and Pranav to love each other.
Life went on smoothly, with abit of tantrums, a bit of love , a bit of romance, a bit of strictness, a bit of memories and lots of trust.
----------------------------------------------------
Ye conference hai kahan?",
Nupur asked packing things for mayank who had came home and suddenly announced that he had to leave for a conference abroad by the evening flight.
Mayank was busy arranging papers so didn't pay attention to her question so she aksed again, "suniyee!",
"kia hai nupur?", he sounded irritated, arranging his papers, "ap ja kahan rahe ho, itna tu bata do", she pouted and mayank smiled,
"Zurich", he said casually and bent down on his files while nupur felt numb.
"Zurich!! .. mtlb Switzerland!, OMG!, aur ap akeley ja rahe ho?", nupur hugged nitesh and he kissed her head and sighed, "don't ask nupur .. I wish I could take you with me, but your pregnancy is complicated na, you can't travel .. but koi nahi, once my baby comes in this world, we'll go together", he kissed her lips converting her pout in a moan.
**
The return flight from Zurich has a dead body, the person met an accident in Zurich and died - Nitesh Mehta.
"nupur.."
Mayank placed his hand over her shoulder and she was horrified.
"kia hua?", he hugged her but she was still stiff. Finally after a while she started to melt under his touch,
"Zurich jana zarori hai"?, she asked in between her sobs and mayank made her face him, "haan kyun?"
"nahi wo .. mtlb ..", she fumbled and mayank was still confused over her sudden shock, "kia baat hai nupur..", he asked again and although nupur wanted to share but she controlled herself, "kuch nai, wo .. bus ap itni door ja rahe ho tu . is liye", she wiped her tears and mayank hugged her smiling, "hmmm .. tu mujhe miss karo gi?", he kissed her cheek and she forced a weak smile.
"nupur I'll be back in a week", he again hugged her but then went back to packing.
Nupur was shivering constantly, suddenly she felt all the past coming back and she knew she had no strength to bear all that again, but she knew her fear was also baseless, she couldn't bind mayank with nitesh's fear all the time.
"main bachon se mil k ata hon", he said once the packing was done and nupur nodded. He came back in a while, and nupur hugged him, "mayank promise k ap apna khayal rakhon gey, u'll not travel by foot uselessly and you will not cross roads dangerously, and you will not..
Her words were cut short because her lips were captured in a kiss and when they parted off, mayank caressed her back and whispered, "the past will not repeat nupur .. I promise", and with this he kissed her again, this time tasting her tears as well.
And mayank did keep his promise, he came back smiling and happy, contrary to all the fears nupur had in her mind.
"I missed you", nupur whispered, snuggling to him, as they were in bed that night when he returned. After having dinner with kids, they both were finally alone and nupur felt vulnerable all over again.
"missed me?, nupur you called me a total 1128398 times, and you still missed me?", he sighed and expected nupur to react something but she just snuggled close, "yes, I still missed you".
Her voice was felling weak and mayank raised her head, "hmmm, now I'll have to do a bit of hard work to compensate hun?", he winked and nupur smiled with teary eyes and next she was just drowned in the passion of mayank's love and his touch told her that even he missed her the same regardless of 1128398 calls.
---------------------------------------------
Life was moving on with the same smoothness when something from the past again knocked their doors.
nupur i think you should go for a check up, i don't think you are keeping well these days"
mayank said with concern and nupur came and sat beside him "I went to the doctor today",she said with smile,
"really?, tu kia kaha docter ne?, is everything fine .. I mean kuch serious ..
"I am pregnant.", she said in a displaced breath, smiling and mayank was left shocked to react.
Nupur smiled and hugged him tight , while tears flowed from her eyes, "I am so happy mayank, I am our carrying our child, I am just so happy".
I am sorry Mr Sharma, we couldn't save your wife, she was already too weak, and I had prescribed her not to get pregnant until her hemoglobin level gets normal, but you both still wanted the child, I am sorry .. she is no more.
"we will have another child", nupur voice brought him to present and he separated her from himself, "hamien ye bacha nahi chaiye", he was stiff and nupur's smile vanished.
"kia? ", this was all nupur could say in shock.
"dekho nupur, we have children, I don't think we want another child, how much time has passed?, I don't think abortion will be a problem.
"abortion?? , ap ne socha bhi kaise k I'll kill my child?", nupur was looking at him dumbfounded and mayank cupped her face, "dekho nupur, try to understand please .
"ap apne bache ko marne k baat kar rahe ho?, you want to kill ur child?",
" yes, because I don't want the child to kill you, just like kanchi , I don't want all that to happen again, I have gone through it once, not again, please ..", maynak hugged her and nupur felt his tears wetting her shoulder and she hugged him back.
"mayank ap ne hi tu kaha tha, the past won't repeat", he said softly and felt his grip turning strong. She smiled because she knew she'll be able to make him move on from his fear, just as he made her move on.
