Chatting they reached Nupur's home, till then they were dried as were not wet that much,Nupur was getting out when Mayank holds her hand ask her,"Nupur, did you tell aunty about our friendship till now"
Nupur didn't understand, why he asked such question to her,"What's wrong Mayank, why are you asking?"
Mayank: "First tell me, did you told aunty about our friendship ?"
Nupur: "No, I mean till now I haven't told, will soon'but why are asking ..."
Mayank: "Nupur, she is your mom, she has first right to know everything about her daughter, to whom she has friendship and to whom she met alone in the evening..'"
Nupur: "I know Mayank, it's just I am waiting for the right time'"
Mayank: "If you will keep on waiting for the right time, it won't come; right time is here, with new emergence of our friendship you should tell about me to your mother..."
Nupur: "Okay I'll tell her today'"
Mayank: "I have a much better idea..."
Nupur: "What..?"
Mayank: "Come we both tell together, it will be easy to her to understand..."
Nupur: "That's no need Mayank...i can deal with that..."
Mayank: "Please Nupur...let me'it's not you alone and I don't want to put any type of bad impression on your mother'and who knows may I could get a motherly love'"
Nupur: "Sure..'you are most welcome'...come then...Mom must be home by now..'"
Mayank: "Yeah...let's go'"
With them both move towards her house, Nupur rang her doorbell where Mayank was nervously wiping the sweat from his forhead, Nupur assured him to be calm from her eyes.
Mrs.Bhushan opened the door was little bit surprised to see Mayank standing at her door with Nupur,"Mr.Sharma aap yahan aur VO bhi Nupur k saath'Ye .sab'"
Nupur:"Maa'first let us in'we will tell you everything..."
Mrs.Bhushan was very much confused she didn't able to know what was going on, she let them in and before she could question any one of then Mayank came forward and spoke,"Aunty, before you ask any question I want to say or rather clarify some things infront of you'please sit down, I want to confess something infront of you'"
Mrs.Bhushan settle down on sofa besides and even Nupur too took seat beside her,Mayank sat on her knees and holded Mrs.Bhushan's hands and spoke,"Aunty I don't know what type of image of mine is infront of you,firstly I want to clarify that I am Nupur's friend ,we met through India forums and eventually we became best friends,in other you can say that I am her online friend who has became my best friend and since Nupur is best friend I do not want to hide any more truth from you,that day I realised you didn't know anything about us so after gathering courage we decided to tell truth to you,Aunty Nupur is your daughter and it's your right to know what is actually going in your daughter's life ,I am sorry Aunty that we hide ur friendship for so many months from you,but certainly I just want to get comfortable with our friendship and then only I myself would have approach you to tell the truth,I am sorry if I hurt you unintentionally,it's just that I know what is mother's care towards their child and thought it would be certainly bad to hide anything specially from a mother,long time I had lost my mother and I know what pains it cost,so I don't want to hurt you'I hope I could get a motherly affectionate through this friendship,your daughter has taught me tolive,to breath and I can't afford to loose this friendship after so many years I had actually felt that I am alive'hope you understand Aunty'.that's all I could say'rest is your decision Aunty'but please don't scold Nupur'she was just seeking for the right time to tell you everything'"
Mrs.Bhushan was silently listening to him,her eyes were moist,he is truly like his mother,sweet,simple and importantly loveable or in his mother's words januable.Taking her hands from his grip she cupped his face and place a slight kiss on his forhead and caressing his hair with her motherly touch,Mayank was little bit surprised,there were no need of words she was so affectionately looking at him and hugged him in a hope to fill the void that has filled in his life which was devoid of a mother,even his eyes too get moist but he soon controlled himself,both of them were so much involve in their mother-son affection that they were unaware that someone is watching them or can say was adoring them and silent pearls were dripping from her eyes.
Wiping her tears she tries to lighten up the situation,"ye kya Maa'tum to mujhe bhool bhi gayi...tumne to itna pyaar mujhe kabhi nahi dikhaya...'"Saying in her fake anger tone, both Mrs.Bhushan and Mayank seeing her cute facial expression and both of them eyed to tease her little bit.
Mrs.Bhushan :"Ab Nupur mein kya karo beta, Mayank hain itna cute'.ab tu maan ya naa maan tu itni sweet aur cute hain hi nahi Jo mein tujhe itna pyaar karu...'"
Nupur mouth was wide open and both were laughing out loud seeing her face.
Mayank: "Nupur close your mouth Varna makhi ghus jaayegi..'"
Nupur: "That's not fair'ab tum dono ek hi team mein ho Gaye pata nahi mera kya hoga..."
Mayank: "Tu fikar kyu karti hain'mein hoon Na.'"
Nupur: "Dialog baazi band kar'..."
Mrs.Bhushan :"Bas karo tum dono...chote bacho ki tarah lad rahe ho'Mayank aaj dinner tum humare ghar karoge..'"
Mayank: "VO to thik hain Aunty but ek shart per ..'"
Mrs.Bhushan :"Kya'"
Mayank: "Ki dinner aapne banaya ho'"
Mrs.Bhushan :"Kyu'"
Mayank: "Vo kya hain na abhi Nupur ko dekh k lagta hain ki agar uska bass chale to mujhe khaane mein joote aur sandals khilaye'"
"Ooh'well in that case tum fikar na karo filhaal aaj k liye tum mere haath ka khana kha sakte'baaki I don't know about the future'"
Both were grinning and teasing Nupur like hell'Nupur was cursing herself that she let Mayank meet up her Mom now both of them will team up and will tease her but deep in her heart she was feeling very pleasant as if her desire has been fulfilled .She said in irritation,"Bass karo aap dono bhi..'"
Mrs.Bhushan :" Acha chalo bahut ho Gaya ladna jhagna...pehle kuch kha lo taaki baaki ki ladai k liye thodi energy gains kar sako..'"
Trio enjoyed the wonderfull time at dinner.After dinner they settle down in the living area when Nupur spoke,"Mom aapko pata hain, Mayank is a very great poet and even awesome singer'"
Mrs.Sharma in an amused tone,"Really'!!!..Wow'.Then Mayank ek poem nahi I have a better idea ek song to banta hain'kyu Nupur...'
Nupur: "Of course Mom'Mayank ho jaaye..."
Mayank: "Aunty Mein kese..."
Nupur: "Mayank please ab gaa bhi do naa please..."
Seeing the pleading look of Nupur, Mayank couldn't deny anymore and cleared his throat to sing a song
Hmmm...Mmm
Aanewala pal janewala hai - (2)
Ho sake toh isame jindagee bita do
Pal Jo yeh janewala hai ho...
Aanewala pal janewala hai
Ho sake toh isame jindagee bita do
Pal Jo yeh janewala hai ho...
He gestured Mrs.Bhushan to stand, hold her waist and making her dance on his moves
Ek bar yu milee masum see kalee - (2)
Ho khilte huye kahan pushpash me chalee
Dekha toh yahee hai dhundha toh nahee hai
Pal Jo yeh janewala hai ho...
Aanewala pal janewala hai
Ho sake toh isame jindagee bita do
Pal Jo yeh janewala hai ho...
Mrs.Bhushan freed herself from Mayank and placed Nupur's hand on his...'seeing her eyes he sang these lines...
Ek bar wakt se lamha gira kahee - (2)
Wahan dastan milee lamha kahee nahee
Thoda SA hasake, thoda SA rulake
Pal yeh bhee janewala hai ho...
Aanewala pal janewala hai
Ho sake toh isame jindagee bita do
Pal Jo yeh janewala hai ho ho...
Aanewala pal janewala hai - (2)
Mayank bowed his head down after he finishes his song, both the
women applauds on his singing.
