hey all!! 😃

thank u so much all of you, and roshnee , thank u so much for correcting me, i just mixed up the cultures. and for people who are finding it hard to accept nupur as a greedy woman, i would just say that greedy people exist in this society and they are a part of our world,. Whether we accept or not, people like nupur do exist.

Smiling at her huffed expression, mayank snuggled in his blanket and closed his eyes. He was happy and over whelmed, although he didn't let the extent of his emotions show, but the truth was that he was happy ' very very happy won't be wrong to say.

He was a person with calm nature, a quiet person, a person keeping his joys and sorrows to himself, because according to him, no else was bothered in this world, and even if someone was bothered, no could feel the extent of happiness or pain other than the person going through it.

He once read a line behind the truck, and clung to it, making it his life moto ' khushi apni apni . dukh apna apna.

Revising this once again in his heart and saying some prayers, he slept.

Nupur loved the bathroom, even more than the room. It was gorgeous, white tiles with delicate flower carvings and glass accessories. "Living here won't be a bad option either", she smiled pulling the night robe over her slightly wet body, which appeared fairer than usual after the hot shower.

She came back in the room and the lights were off. She felt weird. Mayank's silhouette was visible on the bed and it made her uneasy.

"Why does always this boy and girl thing have to come in", she breathed deep and looked around in the room for any other suitable place to sleep, but it wasn't. The room only had a double bed, a single seated couch and a rocking chair.

Biting her lips, she started to gather strength to lie beside him. She took baby steps to the bed and stood by it's side. Mayank was peacefully sleeping on his side of the bed and was on the respectable distance from the middle imaginary line, which divided the bed in two equal halves.

Lying beside him won't result in ANY physical contact, she thought, but well if she better not think about physical contacts because she herself wasn't that sure that she wanted to avoid the physical contact.

Sleeping in those strong arms would be tantalizing,", she smiled but controlled before her mind went wild.

"shut up nupur", she scolded herself, "if mayank gets even the slightest hint of these thoughts of yours', he's going to make sure they become reality", she blushed. She could feel warmth creeping up her cheeks.

"enough of stupidity", finally the mind issued a warning, and being very careful she walked out of the room.

"I can't sleep with him", she declared and lied on the white leather sofa. For a moment her mind again went wild over the literal and figurative meaning of SLEEPING WITH HIM, but finally shutting up her mind, she closed her eyes.

She was amazed at how mayank and his thoughts made her forget that why did all this marriage fiasco take place. "this is silly nupur", cursing herself, she finally closed her eyes.

Next morning, she woke up with a delicious smell of strong coffee. Feeling juices churn in her stomach, she twitched her eye lids and opened them. It was indeed coffee, lying on the table beside her.

"morning wifey", came his voice from the other end of the living area and without turning she murmured a "hmm, morning".

Yawning, she cuddled up to herself and grabbed the cup.

"may I ask why didn't I find my beautiful wife by my side in the morning", he sat beside her, close enough to make her half sleepy mind drowse under the effect of his cologne.

"excuse me", she said, trying hard to come completely in her senses, "I just couldn't sleep in there", she said and concentrated back to her coffee. It was hot but still she kept on sipping.

"couldn't sleep in there or with me", he asked, in a plain voice and on turning her neck , she found his smile even more plain.

"will u shut up!", this time she almost shouted, "it's a new place, I .. I just couldn't sleep ..", she sighed and again sipped coffee. It was still hot.

"you could have woken me up na, I could have placed my arms around you to make u comfortable".

Without even turning, she could feel his smile.

"how could I have woken u up", she said timidly, brushing her nail over the ceramic handle of the cup, "this was ur job to make sure I was comfortable", she looked at him through the corner of her eye and his expression told him that he was in for the game she stepped in.

"awww, I am so sorry", he moved close, "I'll take care tonight", he said, outlining her jawline and she felt her grip over the cup loosening, "and well, how about some compensations", he leaned in and being dead sure that he was about to kiss, nupur pushed him away

"what the hell mayank!", she stood up, placing the cup away and heard him giggling, "what?, you started it", he said and she turned and passed him a glare.

"very funny, I am going to change and then we have to leave for the legal formalities", shouting this she went in the room and mayank sighed.

What exactly do we have to complete for the transfer", nupur asked as they were seated in his office now.

"well, our marriage certificate for first and then the signatures of all the blood relations of karthik, his sister and two of his children, they should acknowledge our marriage", he said and typed on something on the laptop.

"why his children?", nupur frowned, "they are complete assholes!, they are never going to sign"

"well, why won't they?, they have their share as well, I don't think they should have a problem giving you your share"

"urgh mayank!, you don't know them, they are evil"

"more than you?", he raised an eye brow and received a glare, "It isn't polite for a husband to address his wife as evil", she smiled.

"and it isn't polite for a wife to sleep away from her husband", he winked and nupur shook her head, 'shut up mayank, tell me is there a way to avoid..

"nupur why do u always opt for shortcuts?", he asked, in a plain tone, a literal plain tone.

"short cuts?, you think I opt for short cuts?', this time she left her mobile and glared, her voice now had bitterness.

"ofcourse you do, always the wrong way, even if things are going the right way, the legal way, you try to use the wrong path, seems you are addicted to it now", he sighed and resumed typing.

"no one gets addicted to the wrong path mayank, trust me", she said, still looking at him and he smiled a bit, still typing.

"anyways, whatever, the thing is, you need to get signatures of karthik's children", he declared, thus ceasing that argument, maybe wasn't the right time.

"hmm, and for that, I'll have to request pooja, she'll get their signatures, but not so soon, I mean, I'll have to wait. Pooja is the only one who likes me, those kids hate me like anything, bloody losers"

"hey don't say that", he raised his head from the laptop, "karthik's daughter is quite hot", he glared and nupur threw the pen at him which he caught expertly, "shut up, you don't know how third class she is, she sleeps with a new man every week", she said and mayank glared.

"mind your tongue nupur, remember you are talking about a 17 year old girl, she is still a kid", mayank said and nupur opened her eyes wide, "oh really!, so from now you have started finding kids hot too", she laughed.

"that was just a joke but you crossed your limit", he said and before nupur could argue, mayank interrupted, "and now rest of the moral lecture during lunch, I am hungry , lets eat", he stood up , holding his coat and huffing nupur followed him, "dog", she said under her breath, but mayank heard and smiled, "your husband", he said loudly.
