Feelings on fire
PART 1
Nupur woke up to find that she was let again late for college. With a *damn* on her lips, she quickly got up and picking any of her dresses she ran to get it ironed- yes she had again thought she would leave that for the next day!
As if things couldn't get any better so they got worse and she was greeted by her brother Udhay who went on , " mama! Dekhen Nupr again didn't press her cloths last night! Now she will start and be late as usual!" and her mother's voice followed, "Nupur tmen kitne dafa kaha hai?"
Nupr replied with a loud, " I know mama! Sorry na! just 5 minutes pakka!"
And with this she moved her hands faster and was soon done with ironing. Not that she took long at getting ready, infact inspite of what Udhay said, Nupur got ready before him. however because of her laziness she always had this running form here to there session every morning.
Sighing , she finally kissed her mom goodbye and sat wither sister , Ayushi and brother Udhay and they were off . after dropping her siblings to their school, Nupr had to reach her college with only ten minutes left for the class and 20 minutes drive left.
"great! U are again late Nupur" she chided herself and did the only possible thing that could distract her at that moment- switched on her mobile. Even before she could open the inbox, she saw the screen display unread message and with a broad smile she clicked it to find it was from one of her best friends- Gunjan.
It was a *best of luck* message as Nupur was participating in the *business week* being held in her college and that day was the final result day.
Nupur was about to reply when suddenly she heard the screech of a car brakes followed by a loud thud. "WOW! FINALLY U DID IT MAN!" she glared at her driver's back and thought about what this day would bring aheadā¦
Her driver had already stepped out of the car and was yelling at someone. Nupur simply peeped outside to find a tall and broad man standing with her back to him. he was completely hiding Nupur's driver and as she had no wish to see his face, she concentrated on their discussion, well *her driver's monologue* was more appropriate as the man had not said a word yet.
As if on cue , Nupur heard a deep ,authoritative voice say, " ghalti tmare the!"
He had just said those three words and Nupur's ever chattering driver was silent. Nupur sighed and stepped out herself, "excuse me!"
At her voice the man turned around and the first thing Nupur noticed was a raised eyebrow. Irritated by his hauteur , nupur just said a " we are sorry!"
she was hoping that this would be all but she was in for a surprise.
"and what m I suppose to do with ur sorry? This good-for-nothing driver of ur's not only hit my brand new car but his next move could have taken both our cars to that canal right there.
He glace behind him and Nupur felt a lump form in her throat. She made a note to get the driver scolded but the problem was what now?
Just then his mobile rang and he picked it up, "helloā¦ I m coming.. some idiotic man hit my car and almost caused my drowning .. yes yes I know! M coming in 5 minutes."
He disconnected the phone and turned back to nupur.
"m a pretty busy man but I don't let idiots get away that easily." He handed out something that Nupur took as she ahd no idea what else she could have done, " this is my card, and I need u to inform ur dad to call me up..." he was about to turn while Nupur was wondering what why was he so sure she would indeed tell her dad , but right then he turned, " ur dad better not send kids with this guy"
Nupur felt herself go all red wit hfury. *kid* ? he just called her kid? She had turned 21 damnit and he called her *kid*? Glaring at his retreating back, she tried to remember was he that old, but failed as she hadn't seen him clearly. Taking a deep breath to cool down her self, she looked at the card in her hand.
MAYANK SHARMA
SHARMA GROUP OF INDUSTRIES
And that followed some phone numbers and fax numbers.
Nupur: " Mayank Sharma! Thanks for making my day!"
She said sarcastically and got into the car with a glare in her driver's direction to tell him he shouldn't even dare try to brag about what he could have done to that man.
Nupur: " drive slowly! Otherwise u are dead!"
She glared again and shifted her eyes to her mobile, typing a message for her best friends, " I know I am again late.. what I need to know is one reason why I shouldn't murder my driver!"
