Chapter # 10

Is This Love?

Mayank was deeply involved in his file in his office, when his eyes landed on the wall clock. "5pm baj gaye. 7pm baje toh Samrat aur Gunjan ki flight land karegi aur yaha se airport 2hours ke duri par hain. I've to leave now," he said to himself and closed the file. "Nupur ki singing class bhi khatam ho gayi hogi, umm ek kaam karta hu, usse pick up karke airport chalta hu. Good idea!" Once he decided all the things he'd do, he smiled firmly and left.

Nupur came out of her singing school building and as usual, she looked all around and waited for the cab. Just then, a white Mercedes stopped in front of her. "Aap?", she exclaimed in shock. "Banda princess ki khidmat mein haazir hain!", Mayank said dramatically when made Nupur chuckle. She sat inside the car and Mayank started driving.

"Aap yaha achanak se?", Nupur asked Mayank, surprised. "Bas maan kiya ki tumhe surprise du," He smilingly replied, keeping his eyes focused on the roads. "Oh!", Nupur said. "Hum ghar nahi jaa rahe kya?", she confusedly asked as she saw that Mayank had taken a different route which didn't lead to their house. "Nahi hum airport jaa rahe hain. Mera college ka dost Samrat aur uski wife Gunjan USA se India aa rahe hain!" replied Mayank and grinned. "Toh phir aap bohot khush honge, nahin?", Nupur said casually and with a glittered facial expression, Mayank nodded.

"Bhagwan ji, Mayank ko aise hi khush rakhna.. Bas aur kuch nahi chahiye!", Nupur prayed in her mind with folded hands, where as, Mayank thought in mind, "Samrat ko jis motive ke liye maine India bulaaya hain, woh zarur pura ho. Nupur ki maa ko justice dilaane mein help karna, bhagwan!"

**

Mayank and Nupur were standing in the waiting area. "Kaha rehe gaye yeh log,", Mayank impatiently said and glanced at the entrance from where the USA passengers were entering. "Aa jayenge, Mayank. Aap patience rakhiye.", Nupur sweetly said to him putting her hand on his shoulder. "Patience hi toh nahin hain!", Mayank said childishly and sighed. Nupur lowered her eyes and covered her mouth to suppress her giggle. "SAMRAT", this name collided very hard to her eardrums. She looked up in jerk and what she saw left her speechless for a while. Mayank was hugging Samrat joyfully. After a moment, she contently smiled seeing the huge smile on his face which she had hardly seen before.

Mayank met Samrat and Gunjan after a long time, so his happiness knew no limits. He forgot about all the other things and engrossed himself in chatting with his dear friends, while Nupur just gazed him with a lovely smile.

"Mayank, baatein yehi karenge ya apne ghar bhi le chaloge?", Gunjan sarcastically said to Mayank which made him realize that he didn't went there alone. "Oho, tum logo ko kisi se milwana toh bhul gaya," Mayank said and dragged Samrat and Gunjan towards Nupur.

"Nupur, yeh hain mere sabse acche dost, Samrat aur uski sweet si wife Gunjan!", Mayank smilingly introduced his friends to Nupur by his hand gestures. "Aur yeh hain Nupur, meri friend," Similarly he introduced Nupur to him.

"Ahem ahem! Just friends?", Samrat teasingly said which made Mayank and Nupur uncomfortable. "Or something else hmm?", Gunjan supported Samrat which did nothing but increased the uneasiness of Mayank and Nupur more.

"Nothing like that guys. We are just friends!" Mayank said and clarified the matter. "Okay okay! Chill! We were just kidding Mayank! Anyways, hi Nupur!", said Gunjan with a warm smile. "Hi!", said Nupur softly with a casual smile.

"Guys lets go home phir we will have lots of fun!", said Mayank in an excited tone to lighten Nupur's mood. "Yeah lets go hun!", supported Gunjan and slipping her hands around Samrat's arm, she pulled him to the exit, while Samrat was pushing the trolly of their luggage. Mayank and Nupur were walking behind them. Turning his face to Nupur, Mayank tried to read Nupur's expressions and found out that she was thinking about something worriedly. "Nupur itna serious kyun lag rahi hain? Kahi Samrat-Gunjan ki baat ko lekar..? I need to talk to her!", thought Mayank.

"Samrat!", said Mayank loudly and the rest three stopped their steps. Samrat turned around and asked in the same manner, "Kya hua?" Mayank said, "Tu aur Gunjan thodi der ke liye restaurant mein baitho, main aur Nupur aate hain!" Samrat nodded and walked towards the restaurant with Gunjan. Confused, Nupur stared at Mayank who was heading towards her.

"Kya hua Mayank? Aap ne unn logo ko aise kyun bhej diya", she asked normally. "Tum itna pareshaan kyun dikh rahi ho? Everything is fine naa? Kahi Samrat-Gunjan ki woh baat.." Mayank concernedly said to Nupur. "Arey nahi nahi! Main janti hu ki woh log mazak kar rahe the par..", Nupur replied and went back to her thinking mode. "Par kya?", Mayank raised his brows and said. "Main bina ki rishte se aapke ghar mein aise reheti hu. Woh log kahi uska ulta matlab naa nikaalle.", Nupur lowered her eyes and said slowly.

Mayank smiled and said, "Nupur, woh log mere dost hain, I know that woh tumhara mere ghar mein rehene ki koi aur matlab nahi nikaalenge. Trust me!" Saying that, he took her hands in his. Nupur raised her eyes and finding the honest assurance in Mayank's eyes; she smiled and said, "Okay, chaliye!" "Chalo!", Mayank said and they both went to Samrat and Gunjan.

**

Mayank, Nupur, Samrat and Gunjan arrived in Sharma Mansion. Gunjan was so tired that she decided to freshen up and take a nap without wasting a single second. A servant led her to the guess room. "Mayank, main fresh hoke sab ke liye kuch snacks banaati hu.", said Nupur with a smile and Samrat was left amazed. "Theek hain, tum jao!", Mayank replied and nodded.

Finally the best buddies got some privacy to talk over. They sat on the couch and making themselves relaxed, Samrat at last asked curiously, "Mayank, yeh sab kya hain?" Taking a deep breath, Mayank leaned back. "Bohot lambi kahani hain yaar. Woh hua yeh ki..." and he narrated the whole story of him and Nupur.

"So that was the story of me and Nupur, and as of now, we are best of friends, or actually, something more than that.", said Mayank and with the last phrase he said, he started thinking something. "That means you love her!", said Samrat delightfully and Mayank frowned.

"Arey nahi yaar!", he said which left Samrat confused. "Best friend se jyada hain par pyaar nahi karta. Tu paagal ho gaya kya?", he asked Mayank after getting annoyed with his riddle-type talks. Mayank sat straight and looking at Samrat, he said seriously, "Dekh, friendship se jyada aur pyaar se kam bhi ek rishta hota hain, wahi rishta hain mere aur Nupur ke beech and as of love is concerned, well, main khud hi confused hu. So I need some time to understand it."

"Theek hain. Take time par itna bhi nahi ki phir mauka hi naa mile." Samrat said and the next moment, the main thing came in Mayank's mind. "Aab asli baat sun, jis ke liye I called u here!", he said and curiously Samrat asked, "Kya?"

"Tujhe Nupur ke father ko kahi se bhi dhundhkar nikaalna hai. He's a criminal, he killed Nupur's mom." Mayank furiously said. Samrat was about to say something but he stopped as Nupur came there with a trey in her hands.

"Snacks for everyone!", said Nupur in glee, kept the trey on the table and sat on the couch. "Kya baatein ho rahi thi?", she asked smilingly. "Kuch khaas nahi bas hum sab ke liye ek trip ki planning kar rahe hain.", said Samrat excitedly. "Trip?", muttered Mayank in confusion and Nupur was shocked. Samrat blinked his eyes one time at Mayank which made him understood that his CSI friend had surely something going on in his mind, but what? He wondered.

"Mayank ko main bohot time se janta hu aur airport mein jo dekha, usse nahi lagta ki Nupur is just his friend, aur yeh trip is surely gonna bring a new turn in his life.", thought Samrat in mind and victoriously smiled.

"Par aise achanak se?", asked Nupur astonishedly. "Hum log kafi time baad India aaye hain toh phir enjoy karna toh banta hain. Bas issi liye! I hope u don't mind Nupur!", replied Samrat politely. "Idea accha hain, kyun Nupur?", Mayank asked Nupur hoping to get a positive answer. Nupur slightly smiled and said, "Yeah! Accha idea hain par where r we going?" Samrat smiled from ear to ear and said, "Gunjan ka bohot maan tha Shimla jaane ka, so we can go there!" "Wow that's my fav place Samrat. Tu toh janta hain.", said Mayank joyfully and looked at Nupur, and the sight he had witnessed at that time made him dumbfounded. Nupur's smile vanished and her eyes shined with tears. She ran to her room. "Mayank, did I say anything wrong?", asked Samrat guiltily. "Tu rukh, main aata hoon!", said Mayank and went to Nupur's room.

**

Mayank came in Nupur's room. Seeing her standing beside the window and shedding tears, he felt something painful inside him. He headed near her and placed his palm on her shoulder. "Nupur, tum theek ho naa?", he asked concernedly. Nupur stared at him with teary eyes, instantly hugged him tightly and cried her heart out. Mayank hugged her back and caressed her head to console her. "Koi baat hain toh batao mujhe, please Nupur!", he said.

"Mayank, Shimla woh jagah hain jaha mere step-father ne meri maa ko jaan se maar diya tha mere hi aakhon ke saamne," she said in the midst of her sobs and hiccups. Mayank widened his eyes in shock. He didn't say anything, just kept on consoling her. Nupur's hug around Mayank's waist tightened. "Nupur, please stop crying. Hum Shimla nahi jayenge. I promise!", said Mayank with teary voice. Yes! By the time, he was crying too seeing Nupur like that.

After they broke their hug, they stared at each other with moist eyes. Mayank felt an urge to take away all her pains even if it meant for him to suffer. As each second was passing, they were getting drowned towards each other, forgetting everything and it seemed like Mayank's mind was hypothesized by his heart. He cupped Nupur's face and placed soft kisses on her tear drops. Nupur had her eyes closed in a way as if she trusted him the most. Her breaths got heavy due to Mayank's closeness. Something was happening to her which didn't happen ever in the 1 month of their friendship.

Preview of the next chapter:

"Main tumse pyaar karne laga hu Nupur aur mujhe yeh ehsaas hi nahi hua ki kab tumhare liye mera yeh pyaar meri ibaadat ban chuka hain." 😳
