"Ye sirf aur sirf tumhari se useless filmy magzine ki wajah se hua hain.."
"Acha...ab sara dosh mujh per daal rahe ho,agar itni hi chinta thi bus chootne ki to tum bus se kyu utre...aur by the way bus meri wajah se nahi tumhari wajah se chooti hain,pata nahi kahan aa ker phass gayi hoon mein iss sadu k saath ab aise dekh ky rahe ho...ab yahan aur bus to milegi nahi to chalo raasta dhoondte hain.."
Mayank was highly irritated with her nonsense talk,he was already very pissed off as they had missed their bus and now Nupur instead of solving problem to this situation she was busy blaming him and just talking without any breath.
"Chup bilkul chup aur pehli baat bus meri wajah se nahi chooti hain aur agar tumhari ye bakwass khatam ho gayi ho,so shall we proceed..."
Mayank was hell angry as they were in very big problem and she is not understanding it.Nupur was still in her same tone as if she is not at fault.
"Haan..mene kab mana kiya tha..vo to tum hi tab se kacher kacher pacher pacher kiye jaa rahe ho..mein to tumhe kab se keh rahi hoon chalo.."
Giving *Tumahara kuch nahi ho sakta* type look to her and without uttering any word he walked off.
"aare kab kahan jaa rahe ho ruk to jaao mere liye...sadu kahin ka...".Mayank was very much fury and tensed and in tension was blurting out his frustation.
"Pata nahi ab mein deodhar sir ko kya jawaab doonga,life mein pehli baar tumhari wajah se mujhe unse daant sunne ko milegi,kya zarrurat thi tumhe Mayapari kharidne ki..lekin nahi..tumhe apni Mayapari jaan se bhi zyaada pyaari hain ab yahan se raasta bhi dhoondhna hain..Ahemdabaand bhi pahochna hain aur haan agar tum isi speed se chalti rahi to hum Ahemdabaad nahi pahuch paayenge aur nahi competition mein beth paayenge aur nahi..".
Now it was Nupur who was pissed off his constant scolding,she was holding a stick,poked infront of him and threatens him
"Chup bilkul chup...ek lafz nahi ab aur...tab se dekh rahi hoon bas apna dukhda rooye jaa rahe ho...apna gaana gaaye jaa rahe ho mujhe daantne k ilawa apne dimaag ko iss kaam mein lagaao ki ab hum Ahemdabaad kese pahuchenge...mein maanti hoon ki galti hum dono se hui hain khabradaar jo ye kaha ki poori ki poori galti tumhari hai tum bhi baraber k hissedar ho samjhe ab ..chalo.."
Not continuing any conversation he walked in the jungle to get the way to reach their destination,he was literally walking fast leaving Nupur to follow him.
"Aaare...Mayank wait for me..thoda slow nahi chal sakte..uffo ye sadu hain ek Number..ka..Meri to koi baat sunta hi nahi..hain,..Mayank..mein.."
Suddently her Mayapari fallen from her bag she gets down to picked it and when turned to follow him he was nowhere to be seen
"Mayank...Mayank...where you Mayank...Mayank..."
Nupur was calling him , screaming his name but didn't get any reply,she was very much scared to be alone in the jungle,tears were brimming in her eyes.
"Mayank ..please..Mayank...come back..."
She was shouting his name searching him and was on verge of crying ,where Mayank was watching her behind tree.
"Mayank...Mayank..."
He thought it's too much he had played the prank he moved towards her and Nupur was moving backward,suddenly she bumped with him,seeing him it seems her life has returned,she instantly hugged him,leaving Mayank stunned.He was jolted at her act and slowly he too hugged her to calm her down.
"Kahan chale gaye the tum..tumhe pata hain kya haalat ho gayi thi meri...mujhe please chod k mat jaana...",She said while crying her fear out.
Mayank thought that his prank had gone to extent he calm her down and said,"Nupur...Mein..to bas..prank kar raha tha..."
She broke the hug and looked at him for a moment and then started laughing,he stepped to maintain a distance between them ,wipes her tears to show she was too playing with him
"Mayank..tum bhi na..mein to tumhe budhoo bana rahi thi..."
She did while laughing.But seems Mayank had actually recognized her fake laughing and sternly asked her
"Acha..."
Not meeting with his eye contact."Haan..chalo chalte hain..."
"Nupur...tum mazak kar sakti hoon but ye aansu jhoote nahi jinhe tum chupaane ki koshish kar rahi ho.."
Nupur tried make him explain though he was right
"Mayank..aisa kuch nahi hain..."
Sensing the environment to be tense he changes the mood and said in sarcastic way
"Aare tum maan kyu nahi leti ki darpok ho..."
Nupur jolted at his statement
"Kya...Darpok my foot...samjhe..mein nahi darti aur nahi daroongi.."
Mayank asked as if challenging her"Oh..really..."
Accepting his challenege"Oh..yes..!!!"
Mayank saw something behind her and exclaimed,"Oh..God..!! Nupur Lion.."
Nupur shouted"Kahan...By God,...!! Mein kahan phass gayi..and hid behind him "Mayank kuch to karo..Oh..God..!! Please Please.."
Seeing her face he started laughing,"Kya Tum hass kyu rahe ho..."
Pointing at her face,"Your face..."
Touching her face as if something is there"Kya hua mere face ko..."
Controlling his laugh,"OMG..!! Nupur...now i get to know how much brave you are..."
She asked in a stern voice"What do you mean..."
Ironically he says"Well...!!! Yahi ki...tum to bilkul nahi darti..."
Understanding his statement,"To iska..matlab...tum mazak kar rahe the.."
"Mein aur mzaak vo bhi tumse...pagal samjha hain kya..."
"Mayank..mein tumhe choodungi nahi.."
Nupur was running behind him in order to kill
"Pehle pakad k to dikhaayo..."
Mayank was running to save himself from being killed by her.Suddenly Nupur's arm got brushed over thorn plant.
"Aaah...aah.."
Mayank quickly reached to her
"kya...hua..."
Nupur cried in pain
"Mayank...Lagta hain kaanta chubh gaya.."
Showing concern for her
"Nupur Tum Bhi na...dekh k nahi cal sakti thi...dikhao kahan laga hain.."
"Koi zarurat nahi hain mein khud dekh loongi..."
"Just shupt up okay..jo kaam tum nahi kar sakti uske baare mein bina wajah argue karne ka koi faida nahi hain..aur ab bilkul chup...finger on your lips.."
With great difficulty he plugged out the thorn from her arm"Bas ho gaya...okay..."
Nupur was feeling very weird as Mayank was standing very close to her,she felt so comfortable around him though she is scared to be alone in jungle but having Mayank with her has reduced her fear to a great extent.She even trust Mayank won't do anything to her somewhere she was happy that Mayank too left the bus for her.
Where Mayank was also feelnig a new kind of sensation when he saw Nupur's arm that has been hurt.He felt to remove her every pain and curses the plant unempteeth time as because of it Nupur screams in pain.Very softly he plucked the thorn out of her arm as he can't see her in pain,it pierced his heart.
"am..--amm..chale..." "Hmm..."
It's been till evening they were searching their way to the highway when they came across two ways.Mayank said,""Mujhe Lagta hain humme left se jana chahiye.."
"No from right.."
"Just because i had said left so you will certainly go from right..."
"yes..!! but i think from right we could get the highway..."
"No from left.."
"No from right.."
"left"
"right"
"left.."
"right..."
"left left left.."
"right right right.."
They were fighting and were pushing each other unknown that they were standing at the edge of the cliff and both fall down,luckily it was not great height so they didn't get hurt.Mayank got up and asked her,"
"Nupur...Tum thik ho.."
"Hm..."
Nupur seeing different scenario around her
"Ab Hum kahan hain..."
Mayank was very much frustated by now as now they are completely lost"Hotel mein..Mujhe kya pata ab hum kahan hain..."
"Mayank tum to na..koi bhi chance nahi chodte mujhse ladne kaa.."
"Aur tum kabhi to apne dimaag ka use kar liya karo..."
After a moment"Mayank..hmm..mujhe bhook lagi..."
"Tab se mera dimaag kha rahi ho usse tumhara pet nahi bhara jo aur khana hain.."
"Mayank chid kyu rahe ho..mujhe sach mein bhook lagi hain...Please kuch lao na.."
Cooling his nerves down
"Promise karo tum yahan se kahin nahi jaaogi okay..."
"Okay..."
"Thik hain mein kuch lata hoon.."
"Jaldi anaa..."
He left from there while Nupur settle down to relax a bit.
He was blurting out his tension while returning,"Ye kya ho raha hain mere saath bus chooti aur ab yaha iss sunsaane se jungle mein ,mein aur Nupur,ye ladki bhi na pata nahi iske wajah aur kya kya jhelna padega mujhe saari galti uski hain nahi uski Mayapari ki...dekhna...apni Mayapari padhte hue Nazar aayegi...bas order chalana aata hain aur kuch nahi...By God...!!! Tu kyu By God..kar raha hain..."
He didn't find Nupur at her place
"Ye dekho..ab ye ladki bhi na..pata nahi kahan chali gayi hain...Nupur..."
he searched here and there and saw her sitting cuddling close to herself to another tree.
"Tum Yahan kya kar rahi ho...mene tumse kaha tha tha..fir bhi tumne to decide kar rakha hain meri kisi bhi baat ko na manna...ab chup kyu bolti kyu nahi kuch..."
nupur jolted at his sudden voice but seeing him she get relief and instantly hugged him.
"Ma-yan-k"
Mayank was surprised by her act.
"Nupur kya hua..."
She wasn't responding,breaking their hug he asked
"Nupur please batao...kya hua
Nupur towards a direction
"Ma--yan--k...vo vahan per ek bahut badi lizard hain..."
Not Believing what she is saying,"Haa.haa..Nupur tum bhi ek chote se jaanwar se darr gayi.."
Nupur was very much upset,here she was so much scared and he was making fun of him"Haan mein darr gayi thi Mayank ,mein bahut darr gayi thi...mujhe tumhari yaad aa rahi thi,mene tumhe dhundhna chaha per tum pata nahi kahan chale gaye the,mein bahut darpok hoon Mayank ab khush ho jaao...darr k maare meri jaan nikal gayi thi..khush ho jaao ki mujhe tumhari zarurat thi...mein darr gayi thi Mayank..khush ho jaao ab tum ki tum jeet gaye..hain na..."
She turned her back not showing her tears to him,it actually pained her.Mayank realizing his mistake
"Nupur...Nupur mera vo matlab nahi tha kehne ka...acha baba sorry...mujhe aise nahi kehna chahiye tha...dekho Nupur ab to mene kaan bhi pakad liye hain..Please sorry.."
Seeing his cute puppy face she couldn't able to hold her anger more,"It's okay.."
They had ther dinner when Mayank break the newz,"Acha chalo..mujhe highway ka raasta mil gaya hain..."
"Kahan..."
"Vahan se chalo..."
"Hmmm..."
While walking down to highway
"Mayank...I am sorry..Mene tumhe bahut pareshaan kiya na..."
"It's okay...saari galti tumhari bhi nahi hain..mene bhi to tumhe bahut tang..kiya..."
Nupur genuinly thanks him"Thanks..for being their with me..."
His eyes had already made a promise to hers."I'll be always there..."
Beginning a new journey .
