After her engagement got over they set back to return to home, Mayank has just come out of the parking lot when suddenly Nupur realizes she has forgot her purse near the stage.
Nupur: "Mayank, I forgot my purse'"
Mayank: "Don't worry, come let's go..."
Nupur: "No you wait I'll bring it'"
Mayank: "But Nupur,..!!!"
Nupur: "Mayank you had already taken out car from parking area and this main road'you just wait it's hardly 10 steps to walk, I'll come in a minute'"
Mayank: "Okay'but be carefull..."
Nupur: "Ofcourse Mayank don't worry'"
Nupur stepped down from the car headed towards the hall.It's been 15 minutes she hadn't return yet.
Mayank thought it's hardly a walk of 5 minutes and here Nupur has taken 15 minutes, he felt very restless, felt something bad is going to happen his intiutions were not giving good signal, fear ran through his body, and sweat form on his forhead.
*Nupur abhi tak aayi kyu nahi'where she has been it's 15 minutes,why I am feeling that something bad is going to happen,why I am feeling kuch bura hone wala hain'Nupur thik to hain'oh God mujhe itna weird feel kyu ho raha hain*
He locked his car and moved towards the hall where Nupur had gone.
*I hope VO thik ho, I hope everything is fine...*
He was going through hall when he saw Nupur's purse lying on the ground and things of her purse were scattered ,a cold sweat form on his head,
*Oh..God...Nupur kahan ho tum'*
Mayank was looking here and there but she could not bee seen anywhere, no one was present in the hall everyone left out; Mayank couldn't able to understand to whom he should ask and to whom he should enquire about Nupur.
He shouts Nupur while looking every corner of the hall, but he didn't get any response, suddenly his foot crashed something, he looked to see it and seeing it his body turned cold.
It was Nupur's bangel's pieces were lying down, he followed those broken pieces path as they had fallen in a sequence and were showing a groove, he followed it creeply, they were leading him to much darker area increasing his fear more, he couldn't able to see anyone there he was about turn and go and he heard Nupur's voice she was calling him, he rushed towards direction from where her voice was coming.
He reached there, blood rushed through his vain seeing a man was misbehaving with Nupur, he had thrown her duppatta and was trying to come close to her, Mayank couldn't tolerate anymore.
The man was approaching near Nupur.
Nupur was pleading him to leave her,"Please, mujhe chod, please leave me'MAYANK'where are you...please don't come close to me'leave me'"
He was going put his hand on her shoulder when someone caught his hand in middle and thrown him to the ground.He took his collor and again put a hard core punch on his face,"You bastered how dare you touch her",Mayank again put his powerfull punch on his face that he was smashed on Mayank's first punch and became unconsious,he was an intruder who came to eat free dinner seeing Nupur he became lusty and seeing her alone he tries to take her advantage at last only to be bitten by Mayank;leaving him Mayank haste towards Nupur ;she was badly shivering,Mayank took her dupatta from ground and coveerd it around her shoulder but still her shivering didn't reduce Mayank covered her from his coat ,collected her purse and without saying or asking anything to her he grabbed her hand and took her to the car.Nupur was still in great shock if Mayank wouldn't have come in time much more worse could happen with her and this thought was shivering her each of tissue of her body.
Sitting in the car he asked her,"Nupur, are you fine, did he hurt you anywhere ?"
She didn't respond him, she was still in great fear, Mayank touched her shoulder, she abrubtly looked him with great fear, seeing his concern filled eyes, Nupur's shiver subsides slowly and she hugged him tightly, as tightly as she could and cried her heart out, internally thanking her stars for sending Mayank at right time she said still sobbing badly,"M'MA'.Ma..Maya...Mayank'agar tum nn...nahi...a...aate'to'v...VO...AA...aad'aadmi'.",saying she again started crying wetting Mayank's shirt, he carressed her hair to assure her that he is with her,"Mein kese nahi aata Nupur, meri Nupur problem mein ho aur uska Mayank Na aaye aisa ho sakta hain kya'"
Nupur:" "But Mayank'agar'"
Mayank: "Kuch agar nahi Nupur, agar Nupur Mayank ko pukare to Mayank kyun na aaye'"
Nupur:"Mayank'"Saying his name she hugged him more closer to her body,wanting his warmth,assuring herself she is with him,she was feeling comfortable in his arms,she felt safe,secure,she felt cozy in his arms,his arms provide a warm shelter to her palipate body.
He caressed her hair and back till her breathing got calmed.they slowly broke her still Mayank didn't leave her,he drove her to her home ,and escort her till her door.
Nupur:"Mayank'mein ab thik hoon'you may go now, it's already very late"
Mayank:"Nahi Nupur let Aunty open the door then I'll go'aur haan tum thik ho Na ho I won't be satisfied untill you reach your room safely."
Nupur shocking looked towards him,today he was actually commanding her ,today he is behaving different from the other days,She admired him if he wouldn't have came up in right time thinking this only a shiver ran down her body but the warmth of his hands are enough to subsides his shiver.He looked towards her and found her staring he too looked in her eyes but it was for mere second.They heard Mrs.Bhushan footsteps.
She returned his coat before Mrs.Bhushan came and opened the door for them, they hided this incident from her as they donot want her to get worried about Nupur and effect her health.Siging them off he drove towards his home.Still telling Nupur through his eyes to take care of herself while she assures her through blinking her eyes.
