mayank", she murmured and smiling, he pulled her close, "haan nupur?"

"i was just thinking about love", she snuggled closer,

"making love ?", he chuckled and received a punch from her, "about love mayank", she raised her eyes and the softness couldn't mean anything else than what his heart signaled, feeling a contentment settling in his heart, he stroked her cheek, "what were you thinking?'

"i was thinking being in love is beautiful right?', she smiled.

"more than beautiful nupur, it is indescribable ", he smiled back.

"but the whole world is always describing love, songs , poetry, stories, everywhere ..

"they don't describe love, they just describe the feeling of being in love, love is way too beautiful to describe"

"hmmm", she shifted her weight on her elbow and looked in his eyes, "what are your feelings Mr Sharma?"

Although she tried her best to incorporate peppiness in her voice but still mayank did reach the anxiety in her heart,.

"i feel ecstatic, loved, special, ", he leaned and whispered in her ear, "i feel happy nupur .. ", he smiled and she lowered her eyes.

"happy?", she asked slowly,

"yes nupur, i feel happy", he kissed her ear, "do you feel happy near me?'

Nupur raised her eyes and his penetrating gaze touched her heart, "i do mayank, i feel happy when you are near", she smiled sincerely.

"is there any other thing you feel happy about?", he asked.

"ofcourse, my soon to be money", her eyes glowed while the twinkle in his eyes faded a bit.

"hmm, it was expected", he sighed, "lets sleep?"

"so soon?", she pouted and leaned closer, "i was thinking about making love now", she winked and shaking his head, mayank kissed her deeply, passionately and very lovingly.

Days were passing with wings, and with then it felt feelings getting in more deep, strong and enriched. Nupur's heart fluttered everytime she placed a cross on the calendar. Every passing day proved that she was coming near her target, near the day she will be awarded with her heartiest wish, but deep down in her heart she knew that with getting wealth meant her days in this house were nearing end, and it used to make her restless.

The house where she came in as a guest started to feel as a home. Kitchen cabinets, laundry room, lounge, terrace, their bedroom - everything seemed a part of her life, he routine. The small household chores, the petty issues, everything felt like her own.

A number of times these thoughts crossed her mind that this life wasn't bad either, a normal house wife to a man who loved her dearly was something fascinating, but then again the deep rooted desire of money used to re surface and her little blooming feelings used to submerge in the tornado of selfishness.

Mayank knew he was heading nowhere, everytime he used to glance at the calendar on nupur's side table, her heart used to sink a beat. Days were passing, she had to leave - she will leave. Many times he saw that flickering flame of love in her eyes too, but then again that used to die. He started to hope for a miracle, anything which will keep her bonded to him, anything .. but he knew miracles are fairly tale elements, forgetting the universal truth that .. Miracles Happen!.

"what happened nupur?", mayank pulled close a sweating nupur.

"pata nai mayank, my head is spinning", she closed her eyes and cuddled to him,

"did u eat properly today?, "he asked softly and stroked her hair, "I don't feel like eating anything mayank", she answered back in a low voice and the frowns on mayank's forehead increased.

"nupur lets go to the doctor, you are not well",

"doctor", nupur raised her head alarmingly, and swallowed a lump in her throat, it felt like something ringed inside her mind, "umm, no mayank, I guess we can wait till tomorrow, I'll be well", she tried to smile and nodding mayank continued stroking.

Next morning mayank woke up to an empty bed, he looked around and nupur wasn't there, thinking she must be in washroom, he slept again, but then when woke up after an hour, the bed was still empty. Confused he got down the bed and saw that nupur was sitting on the floor, beside the dressing table , hugging her knees and blankly staring at the point.

"nupur!!", mayank gasped and rushed to her, "kia hua?, why are u sitting like this?", he shook her arms and a small plastic stick fell from her hands,

"nupur ..

"I am pregnant mayank".
