Chapter Two

Nupur: "MOM! Im going to go find out about the gym..." she told her mom going to the kitchen "In my new car!" she added excitedly.

Sushma: "Wow...if i knew u would get up at 8:00 on a Saturday and go do something productive i would have gotten you the car long back..oh and while u are out can you swing by the supermarket? I have the list right here."

Nupur: "I knew it...you only got me the car so that i would have to run errands huh?"

Sushma: "Well whats the use of giving a gift if u cant take advantage of it" replied winking.

Nupur: "Dia...wake up!! Where is the gym you were talking about?" calling diya from her cell phone

Dia: "Nupsie? What time is it? What is wrong with u its 8:00 on a Saturday!" having woken up by nupur's phone call.

Nupur: "yeah miracles never seem to seize! Im around there somewhere and i think ..oh wait i think i see it..slamming her breaks...is it the yellow building with..." She got cut off in mid sentence as a car rammed into her hers..

Dia: "Hello! Nupur! What was that?"

Nupur: "Dee im going to have to call you back...cos if someone isn't hurt they are going to be." She said cutting the phone and getting out of her car to inspect the damage and give the diver a piece of her mind. *Oh thank god its just a scratch* But as she saw someone getting out the car she yelled anyway. "Couldnt u see my car!?!"

Guy: "You are the one who braked suddenly! This isn't entirely my fault.."

Nupur: "So u admit its your fault? "

Guy: "I don't know if you have a visual and hearing problem at the same time...i said it WASN'T my fault entirely, you braked in middle of a street...and this dog came out of nowhere so i didnt see you till the last min and thats why i hit you." Looking at the damage he added "oh hit would be a bit of an exaggeration, scratch u."

Nupur: "I don't believe this...instead of apologising...your telling me its my fault for being on the road...b'cos u were distracted by a fictional dog while driving? Ur drunk aren't u?"

Guy: "What! Why the hell would i be drunk its 8:00 in the morning! Look you know what forget it, im late already.. you look like you don't have a life but i have places to go...so instead of prolonging this any further. The scratch will come right off with some rubbing...i think 2000 bucks should cover it..." he said removing his wallet while nupur just stared at this arrogant jerk of a guy.

Sushma: "your back already? That was quick.." said as nupur slammed the main door shut. "Baby are you ok?"

Nupur: "No ma im not...i got into an accident! My pretty red car is ruined!"

Sushma: "What! Are u hurt! come here let me see!" rushing over to nupur and grabbing her hands and face.

Nupur: "Im fine my, its just a scratch!! But its a SCRATCH on my new car!" Nupur wailed...seeing this sushma knew her daughter was fine, cos if something was really wrong nupur would have gone through hell to appear fine so that she wouldn't have to worry.

Sushma: "Well look at it this way...gadi ki nazar utar gayi."

Nupur: " What nazar utar gayi...ughh the guy was such a jerk...it was completely his fault and he didn't even apologize..." She tariled off as she heard a car door slam outside to see diya rushing in still wearing her night suit with masi.

Dia: "Masi!! I think nupur is in..." She stopped as she saw nupur. "Nupur! ur here, why is your phone switched off?! Do you know how worried i got, i thought something happened to you!"

N.Masi: "yeah nupur, diya told me and we rushed right over."

Sushma: "Aarti, Diya everything is fine...she was in a accident but nothing happened except an ill fated encounter with an obnoxious fellow...right nupur?"

Nupur: "Yeah masi, dee im fine."

Dia: "Good i thought something would have happened to you and i would have to cancel your date with Mayank today." She said jokingly knowing it would piss nupur off.

Nupur: "So u only care about my safety cos i have to go out with some guy u found me?"

Sushma: "Wait a minute...girls, what is this about a boy? Your going on a date today? U didn't tell me!" she told nupur "And you fixed it up...diya details... who is he? Is he cute? Does he know what he's getting into?" looking over at nupur.

Nupur: "Ma!!! Masi make them stop!" she said going and hugging aarti.

Aarti: "Nupur bacha i would normally, but diya told me about mayank and your date, and i got to say i approve. mayank is cute and a really nice guy." She replied winking, and dia and sushma burst out laughing.

Sushma: " Oh baby! You look gorgeous! I wish i didn't have to go meet lalita aunty today, i could have seen your boyfriend." She said looking as nupur came down in a simple black dress which according to diya it accented her body without making it look s**tty. Those were her exact words, much to nupur's disdain.

Nupur: "Mom! Its just a date..hes not my boyfriend...and this dress is dias and you can tell her how gorgeous it is. I had planned on wearing my jeans." Fed up cos the whole afternoon dia had hounded her about clothes and accessories. Normally nupur would have loved such a girly day, but today she had a bad feeling.

Sushma: "Im not talking about the dress im talking about my gorgeous baby! Im glad your doing this, it will help you make friends. And you never know he may be your prince charming after all."

Nupur: "prince charmings don't exist. I thought i was the daughter and you were supposed to impart wisdom."

Sushma: "I am imparting wisdom...there are prince charmings, mine believe it or not is your dad and you will eventually find yours...we just have to deal with a couple of toads on the way." She said winking " anyway you have fun...keep your cell phone on and be home by curfew...im cool but im not that cool young lady." She added sternly only half joiking.

Nupur: "Dont worry about the curfew oh wise one...im just doing this cos diya has the relationship disease." She continued when her mom looked confused "you know the one, when your in love you are convinced its wonderful and everyone should be paired off to complete the noahs arc."

Sushma: "Oh god, where did i go wrong and get such a cynical daughter from" Her mom said dramatically as she left the house. Nupur shook her head laughing and went to see tv till mayank came to pick her up.* I guess maybe it wouldn't be so bad* she thought he was benji's best friend, and she liked benji a lot. Even though she didn't really believe in soul mates , even she couldn't argue the fact that diya and he were meant for eachother...but it was rare to find yours when you were in college and had the whole world ahead of you to experience..she got up when she heard the doorbell ring. *Diya this better be worth it.* she thought. She opened the door and stared in shock.

Nupur: "You!! What are you doing here! How did u find out where i live!" she said staring at the guy from morning.

Mayank: "You are Nupur? This cant be happenening ! " He said looking up at the sky with his eyes closed. "You know what... im not following you, only an insane person would...i was told my by an ex-friend that i was going to meet this really nice girl today and that i would miss out on life if i didn't come here...so unless you are not nupur and shes in there , im out of here to go visit a future murder victim." He said turning around before nupur had a chance to regain her composure.

As benji reached home he saw mayanks car parked in his driveway and looked up to see the lights in his room switched on. *This was bad. Maybe the date with nupur had gone really well and mayank couldn't wait to kiss my feet. Nope that wasn't it, this was definitely bad.* He knew mayank. He knew him well enough to know , that if the date had gone really well he wouldn't admit it, he would play it cool. He was a cautious guy, there was no love at first sight for him. Which was why it had been so weird when he had dated Sheena for almost a year after knowing her all of 2 days. Mayank never really loved Sheena, he had so much as told him so. He didn't love her but he liked her enough to be with her. It made sense in warped way. You had to like the person to spend time with them in order to fall in love with them. Not that Benji agreed with that he had fallen head over heals in love with dia when he had first laid eyes on her. But mayank would call that physical attraction which worked in his favour , as dia actually turned out to be an awesome person. Normally he would never try playing cupid but this had been dia's idea and he kind of agreed nupur and mayank would have been perfect together, didnt know what could have gone wrong. *well time to face the music* he thought as he headed for his room.

Benji: "hey man..what are u doing here...how was the date?"

Mayank: "Upset to see that i made it here alive after you set me up on a date with she devil?" he asked in a eerily neutral tone.

Benji: "She devil huh? So u guys didnt hit it off?"

Mayank: "There was nothing to hit off! We never went on the date i saw her and ran for my life! She was the girl benji! She was the girl because of whom i missed my interview this morning!!"

Benji: "What your kidding! U banged nupur's car? Wow! Small world huh? Well u cant really blame her for yelling at you i mean u did bang her new car. Dia told me how excited she was about it."

Mayank: "Look it wasn't my fault totally...she was just as much to blame over there...she stopped! in the middle of the street for no reason, who does that? And there was this dog and u know what forget about the accident...that is just how i found out she is insane. Im actually glad i had the accident or else i would have to spend a whole evening with her to realise she was crazy! The point is u set me up with a crazy girl!!!"

Benji: "Stop saying crazy...Nupur is not crazy! Even you would have been mad if someone banged ur new car...its just called road rage...it was unfortunate that it happened to be you. Trust me she is really fun and smart and.."

Mayank: "I have heard the speech before...thats how i got into this mess remember." Mayank said interrupting benji.

Benji: "And Hot." He finished, when mayank didnt say anything he continued "U got to atleast admit shes hot."

Mayank: "The crazy ones are always the most good looking, thats how they get away with the things they do."

Benji: "Im serious mayank, shes a nice girl, much better than anyone at college and you know sheena is going to make your life miserable by trying to patch up things again, if your with someone then maybe she would get the msg and leave you alone."

Mayank: "Look i can handle sheena...but im not going to date Nupur. I just came here to tell you to stop trying to get us together."

Benji: "Thats going to be a little difficult seeing how she is going to be attending our college and is dia's best friend who is my girlfriend...u see where im going with this."

Mayank: "Yes i can see that you plan to hang out with a girl who has some serious mental issues because of your girlfriend."

Dia: "It was your fault too nupur, you should have apologised to him."

Nupur: "My fault!! He was wrong, rude and anal about the whole thing, he should be apologising to me!!"

Dia: "Look mayank isn't like that...he really is..."

Nupur: "A nice guy...I know u have been telling me that for over two days its like your trying to brain wash me!" nupur finished making dia smile.

Dia: "Babe u know i love you, U can get angry for no reason but you never carry a grudge so cant you forget it this time too? I mean ok don't date him but please be civil to him and who knows maybe you guys can become really good friends. Its going to be really hard to avoid him given that he is benji's best friend. For me pleeease!" she said batting her eyes.

Nupur: "Fine! But im not doing it for that face...that may work of guys but not me...im doing it cos i don't want to ruin it for u'll"

Dia: "Thank you..thank you...!!" she said hugging nupur.
