The moment Nupur woke up that morning; she knew something new was coming her way that day. The cloudy sky and the cool breezes had a new wave to themselves. As if they were hinting at something. Smiling at the way her mind was becoming all romantic since she met Mayank, Nupur quickly got dressed and held her mobile, she was about to message him when she received a message and her mobile screen flashing his name, she quickly read the message.. , "good morning beautiful.."

Her mood further intensified by the wish she grinned and typed a message for him..

"hey handsome! Did u check out the weather today? :D"

Mayank who was still in bed, and not immune to the extra chill prevalent in the wind, shifted his head towards the window and frowned.. why did she had to ask about weather. It was just typical weather, yes a bit chilled and cloudy but..

"Sweetheart why are we reduced to such formal questions? The weather seems cold.."

Her shoulders falling down and her grimace portraying her opinion about his reply she typed,

"I don't believe this! Wow!"

She sent it and got up and went to the window'

Mayank further frowned at her reply,

" ok princess.. u left me clueless.. What was I supposed to say exactly in reply to your weather interrogation?"

Sighing Nupur typed, " it wasn't interrogation.. it is such a romantic weather '"

Grinning at the reply he was about to reply in a better suited manner when his eyes fell on the time.. cursing he removed the warm blanket and reminding himself what Mr Chopra will say to him if he yet again arrived late in class, Mayank quickly sat up..
Assured that his reply was going to sound extremely rude, and yet unable to send the kind of reply he would have liked, he compromised by sending her,

"Sweetheart, whenever I am around u I feel romantic, regardless of time or weather.. not to forget location.. ;) now I gotta go get ready for class. See u soon princess.."

Mayank was busy surfing the SAT book while Nupur was all in for romance that day..

Nupur: " MAYANKKK!"
Mayank: "hmmm'"
Nupur: " kya hmm? Dekho na kitna acha mausam hai! aur tm ho ke ye itne moti book le kr pata nahe kya kr rahe ho!"

Mayank looked up to find her sitting beside him but all pouting.. unable to control the urge he leaned closer and softly pressed his lips on hers.. "princess I am finding u an essay topic which will be your work for today.."
In daze after the kiss and her mind clearly registering only one work that she found good enough when they are sitting together, she still manage to frown, " essay?"

Mayank: " yes sweetheart'" he moved a bit away afraid he will end with using the time doing exactly what her eyes were asking him to do ' kiss her.
Nupur: " but Mayank itna acha mausam hai.. I mean just look out na."

She looked at the window and her eyes portrayed her dreamy state..
Mayank: " great! Then if u find the weather so romantic u should.. (he looked at the book randomly and smiled spotting what he wanted) work on this'"

Nupur hesitantly looked at the book to find a quote from pride and prejudice on which she had to write.. looking up at Mayank expectantly that maybe he will surrender to her pleading eyes, she realized she will have to write the essay..
Taking the book from him she read the quote and even on the first reading, she felt something flicker in her heart:

Nupur read the question twice and sensing something strange developing in her heart, she stole a glance at Mayank, who by now, was intently reading one of his own course books, "sweetheart work!, you can look at me later", he said sensing her gaze and fumbling, Nupur quickly bent down on her paper.

This was supposed to be just a random topic, but somehow the words stuck the chords of her heart, indicating reminisce with her life, which she expected Mayank to realize as well, but when he was portraying a perfectly normal composure, Nupur grabbed her pen, and started writing. It felt as of words came to her natural.

**

"princess you should be done by now", Mayank strictly said, as the time since her writing was 22 minutes,

"finished",

She said with a deep breath, and Mayank smiled, "good girl", he said and took the paper, while Nupur who was holding her breath, was disappointed when Mayank folded the paper and placed it in his notebook, "I'll mark it at night, right now I'll just leave, I have to work on my semester project today", he said quickly and got up. Kissing her softly he rushed out; overlooking the change of expressions in Nupur's eyes since she had read the question.

Nupur sighed and went to the window for a while. She had no option but to wait for Mayank to read the essay, and to hope that he won't overlook the fact that she hadn't written with her hands, she wrote with her heart. Sighing, she slowly repeated the words in the quotation..

"How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtues'"
