thank u so much people .. 🤗Chapter # 13
"I love you",
Nupur said, cutting his statement and it was mayank's turn to get speechless. He looked directly in her eyes and they were reflecting her smile, while nupur sensing that penetrating gaze, lowered her eyes and her cheeks turned pink.
"whoa!, I never thought someone will make me go speechless", he sighed and nupur raised her eyes, "ap ko mazak lag raha hai?", she asked hurt, with her eyes getting wet, while mayank snuggled close to her, "acha!, tu kia lagna chaiye tha?", he said sensuously, outlining her jaw bone while she pushed his hand away, "you have ruined a special moment", she said in a weak voice and turned towards the other side, leaving mayank stunned.
"now don't tell me kay tum naraz ho gai ho!, come on nupur main tu bus Mazak kar raha tha", he said back hugging her and she took a deep breath, "wohi tu!, mazak kyun kar rahe they?", she wiped her tears and turned back to face him, "I thought .."
She left her statement in between seeing that mayank still had the WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL expression, "nothing, I guess I should stop expecting anything from you", her voice was soft but the hurt tone made mayank's heart tremble.
"nupur now you are overreacting!", he looked at her amazed and sighing she again turned to opposite side, "ap ko jo bhi sochna hai soch sakte ho", saying this she closed her eyes ' She was really hurt.
"now this means I cannot hug you tonight", he whispered in her ear and she opened her eyes, "kar lo hug ap, main kab ap ko kisi chez k liye mana kar sakti hon, ap tu hamesha apni marzi karte ho, kar lo hug", her voice was falling weak and in awe of her sweet anger, mayank pulled her close and tightened the grip of his arm around her waist.
"acha now atleast face me, please", he brushed his lips over her neck and not all in any mood to talk to him, she turned towards him and mayank suppressed his smile the way she had her eyes tightly shut. He kissed her eyes and snuggled to her neck,
"okay I am sorry, I should have been sensitive but I just went speechless and just to cover up I started joking. Alot of girls have confessed their love to me nupur but trust me I have never felt this honesty and sincerity, thank you for confessing, it made me realize that you are going to be much more than a habit in my life, I actually felt flutters.", he completed his sentence and kissed her cheek while nupur was still staring,
"ab kiya?, I said sorry, and I mean it!", he pouted and nupur sniffed, "ap ye sab pehle nahi bol sakte they?", she asked wiping her tears and giggling, mayank pulled her close, "acha baba!, I am very very sorry, mujhe nahi pata tha tumhain itna bura lage ga,", he said and nupur was about to speak something when he again interrupted, "and now how about we make this moment special", and before nupur could protest something, he captured her lips.
**
After that day nupur realized that Mayank was not insensitive, he just didn't realize her desires, and whenever she expressed them, he never fell short of fulfilling them. He just needs to be told what you want and he will there.
But this was not her dream. She believed in silent talking more, a relation where eyes speak more than words and thus started to expect this from the very first day, but that day she realized that silent talking takes place where two people know each other more than themselves, and that understanding comes with time, with patience, with sacrifice, with love, with companionship.
It was just a start, he will start understanding silence, there will come a day where she will not need to say what she wants, he will understand himself, because one thing which filled her heart with content was he was willing to deepen the relation, he never backed off, they just need time.
Afterall, she is married to a human, not an angel.

Mayank was designing the 600 sq feet hall, he was taking careful measurements and drawing lines with scale on the drawing board, but he felt weak.
His head muscles contracted and he threw the pencil and came to his seat. He tried to press his fingers over his head but it was not working so he gulped down two tablets of disprin.
He kept his eyes closed for a moment but sensing no improvement he decided to think of any way he could make this headache go away, he had to submit this design till tomorrow, but then he was struck with a perfect solution.
He picked up his cell phone.

Nupur was trying her hand at embroidery, this was one thing she fascinated all her life, but not getting any time to learn it because of her studies, it was just left a dream, but now pooja bhabhi was teaching her and sitting beside her in her home, she was learning embroidery and was pratccing one tricky move under pooja's observation when her cell phone rang.
Nupur shifted her eyes to the cell phone and it flashed MAYANK. For a moment she just stared the screen, he never called from office.
"tumhara phone nupur!", pooja jolted her and fumbling she placed the cloth away and attended the call.
"nupur kahan ho?", he asked, without any hello or hi and nupur got more scared, "main .. wo .. pooja bhbahi k pass hon ,, wo..
"acha jo bhi hai, main ghar a raha hon, and I want to you be at home, and please , I want you with me, complete all your works, You just need to be with me .. I'll be there in 20 minutes", he disconnected the phone and nupur was just left stunned, but recovered because pooja was passing smirks,
"kia hua nupur", she winked and nupur blushed, "umm, kuch nahi wo .. umm.. mayank ka phone tha .. tu wo ..
"haan tu jao na",giggling she took the cloth and needle from her hand, "baqi ka kal sikha don gi", she was suppressing her smile and nupur was turning red,
"aj jo ap ne sikhaya hai main us ki practice kar lon gi, ghar pe, main,,
"rehne do na nupur, mayank thori na practice karne de ga", she giggled and winked, "kiya bhabhi ap bhi", she whined and went away while pooja blessed her silently.
Nupur came to her home and quickly made sure everything was at it's place, and was satisfied because the home looked neat. She looked herself in the mirror and inspite of the need of brushing her hair, she looked okay.
She was turning red and pink and crimson and all shades of red, and finally she thought her heart will pump out when she heard the car horn. Taking a deep breath, she rushed towards the door and opened the door and tried tos mile but couldn't because he looked so tired, "kiya hua apko?", she immediately took his file and he hugged her, 'my head is hurting aur mujh se koi kaam nahi ho raha that u main ghar a gaya", he hugged her tight and nupur's heart contracted with pain , "Oh God", she moved away and kissed his cheek, "you go and lie down, main ap k liye coffee ke k ati hon"
"mujhe kuch nahi chaiye, I just want you to stroke my head", he held her hand and dragged her to the sofa and after making her sit, he lied down with placing his head in her lap and closed his eyes, "now stroke my head, I am sure dard thek ho jaye ga mera", he spoke with eyes still closed and nupur's hear filled with love . She softly pressed her fingers over his forehead and ruffled his hair,
"ap ne koi medicine li thi"?, she asked slowly, still pressing fingers over his head, "hmm, disprin, but it didn't effect"'', he murmured and nupur rubbed her fingers over his closed eyes and mayank was feeling the pain reducing in his head and he held her other hand and opened his eyes, "ap ne ankhein kyun khol lin hain, chalo band..
"you are such a blessing nupur", he said looking up at her and she was at a loss of words, "pata hai I often have these headaches, mere eye muscles thore se weak hain and moreover my work is so minute, like precise measurements and drawings and all, tu headaches ho jati hai, and every time I just had to gulp down dispirins at a spree to make it go away, but not form now, I have my lovety wife to make my headache go away", he kissed her hands and nupur's eyes brimmed with tears "ap ki eye muscles weak hai?, tu docter k pass kyun nahi jatey ap?, kia mtlb?', she suddenly gasped and mayank broke in a giggle, "relax!, it is in born, bht viatmins ur chezian kha chukka hon but it so just there, and relax, bus kabhi kabhi dard hota hai, when I don't take break from measurements."
"who tells you not to take breaks?, aur ap k office main asia kya chal raha hai k ap itni tension main ho?", she asked desperately still stroking his hair and mayank sighed, "oho nupur, office rehne..
"I need to know, ap ka mood hai ya nahi I don't care, I just need to know", she glared and mayank's eyes opened wide, "kiay kaha tumne?, you don't care k mera mood hai k nahi?, he asked strictly and nupur got scared, "please bata dijiye na, aisa kya hai jo ap apni health k bare main bhi soch nahi rahe ho?", she asked in a weak voice and mayank got from her lap and pulled her in his lap now, "pata hai I hate when u cry!, itna bura lagta hai mujhe aur tum utna hi rooti ho, her baat pe , you know you cry on every possible issue", he sighed wiped her tears, "koi serious baat nahi hai, mera dream project hai, so I am preparing designs for it, merey staff ne company ki taraf se courier miss kar diya tha, which said k designs ik month jaldi chaiye, tu ab bus 15 din reh gaye hain so we all need to work non stop, bus itni si baat hai", he pulled her cheek and she hugged him, "kitna kaam reh gaya hai?",
"thora sa hai, we have designed 8 halls, bus 4 reh gaye hain", he replied in a jolly tone and nupur moved a bit away, "I am sure ye bhi jaldi ho jayen gey, ap dekhna u'll complete ur dream project just perfectly and the whole world will just stare!, aur rahi baat ap key eye muscles ki tu you don't need to worry about them, agar medicines kaam nahi kar rahi tu we will try herbs, main ne suna hai aamla is very good for eyes, aur bhi kuch herbs hain, main mom se keh wo sari mangwa lon gi, they'll surely effect! ",she smiled vibrantly and mayank broke in a giggle, "okay Dr Nupur, now as your patient is fit and fine, will you mind mentioning your fees?", he smirked and rubbed his hand across her waist and suddenly nupur sighed, leaving all her giggle behind.'
"I guess mujhe khud hi fee pay kar deni chaiye, meri doctor tu bht shy hai", he winked and nupur lowered her eyes, as he felt his lips travelling from her jaw bone to her lips, finally entering a deep kiss.
**
That day brought a strange emotional intimacy in their relation, and it marked as nupur felt her right and authority over Mayank. No doubt she was still scared of his anger but now she knew him more, and somewhat how to handle him.
Mayank was in awe of nupur the way she took care of him and worried for him, he enjoyed all this attention, he was enjoying the relation as it was just his. Nupur was just his!. All her attention, love and care were only for him and he loved it.
Nupur was very happy over the way relation was moving forward, and she was sure that as she has started understanding mayank, he will also start understanding her, her unsaid words - and it did happen soon - but in a way nupur didn't want - he understood something which nupur never wanted him too - but she forgot that what she wanted to hide was something everyone understood the first when they actually started knowing her - and as her dad and gunjan, that fact left mayank stunned too.
