Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat...Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible. When you forgive someone you certainly release them from judgment, but without true change, no real relationship can be established.
[MORNING]
Nupur was sitting silent on her bed. She was thinking of the things happened in her life. She wondered how she would tell Mayank's truth to her mother,her mother had already beared the pain of her husband's betrayal and now she has to listen this deed of her to-be son-in law...but she feared how her Mother will ale to bear this,this marriage was her dream which soon going to be broken.
While she was deep in her thoughts, her phone rang. The screen flashes the name of Mayank,seeing his name her anger took a higher level than before,After so much happened he still have that courage to call her. At first, she thought that she won't receive the call, but the next moment, she thought that she shouldn't run away from the situation,there is no use of running away one or the other day she has to face it so she should face it now,so she received the call.
"Aab phone kyu kia?"she said in a cold tone.
"Nupur, mujhe tumse baat karni hai. Please mujhse mil sakti ho."He asked her in his pleading tone , hoping she would agree.
She was even more shock,firstly the person hurts her and now saying her that he wants to meet not even he is apologising to her."Mr. Sharma, how can you ever think that I'll meet you after whatever happened at the restaurant?",she said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
"Please.. ek aakhri mauka de do. Please, Nupur...I know I was at mistake but please Nupur all I want is one chance..."He literally joined his hands infront of her, atleast his voice was depicting this.
"Mayank, tum mera time waste kar rahe ho."Nupur sniffed trying to be cold but still her eyes went wet while saying.
He pleaded her again,"Mujhe explain karne ka mauka toh do. Please Nupur, I'm sorry for whatever happened. Please meet me."
"Explain karne ka mauka..mauka..you must me joking...? Sorry? God !Mr.Sharama.. do you know kabhi kabhi hum life mein aise mistakes kerte hain that they can't be forgiven through a simple sorry and your mistake falls in that category...how can you expect that I will forgive you by your just one sorry ... Mayank, do you realise that mujhe kitna hurt hua apne fiancee ko kisi aur ke baaho mein dekhkar? Do you have ever realized ki when you had hugged her back how much it pinched in my heart...Do you realize ki mein sabse chup ker tumse milne aayi thi...koi zaruri kaam se aayi thi..ek hope le ker aayi thi aur mujhe mila kya...betrayal..to see my fiancee hugging another girl that too neglecting me for whole.I agree that we don't love each other but that doesn't mean that you have the right to hurt me ...ek sach bataayu Mayank.. mujhe tum pasand aane lage the...Mujhe laga you are not like other man, you care for other's feeling...I thought...I thought..you are not like my father..you won't betray me...you won't ....she sobbed .but you did Mayank..you did..you proven to be like him...and I hate you for that..."
Mayank was shocked. Nupur quietly started crying...her this silent confession has actually blown him off.'...he had never thought that this marriage would create a soft corner inside Nupur's heart...she will started like him..though he didn't does any such thing for her,but still knowing she is getting married to him she developed some expectations from him all what he done..!!!shattered them into pieces.
"Haan Mayank. Hum dono ki shaadi compromise zarur thi, par har ladkiyo ki tarah maine bhi shayad sapne dekh liye the ki main apne husband which means, tumhare saath khush rahungi...tumne jiss tarah mujhe vishwas dilwaya ,mujhe laga ki tum mujhe dhoka nahi doge..tum sache insaan ho ache insaan ho...par tumne kuch hi pal mein tumne mere saare sapne tod diye.. you broke all my dreams, you broken them into hundreds of pieces..!"
Saying that, Nupur disconnected the call and broke down...it hurts it actually hurts very much,she do not want to present herself weak infront of him but she her emotions were not in control and she weaken.Mayank was too shocked to react on his phone conversation with Nupur. He didn't know what he should say and do. Everything became simply a mess in his life!
"Mayank, wahi kar jo tujhe sahi lage, jo tera dil kahe..."
"Tumne kuch hi pal mein mere saare sapne tod diye."
"Mayank, how can you think that I'll marry you."
All these words of Samrat, Nupur and Rhea echoed in his mind, and now decided that what he has to do and what he actually wanted which will bring a balance in everyone's life specially his.

"Gunjan, please mere liye Nupur ko yaha le aao. Mayank ghar ke baahar hi hai par andar aane se katra raha tha.", Samrat pleaded.
"Itna sab kuch ho jaane ke baad bhi do you think ki Nupur Usse milna chahegi..".Gunjan said
Samrat:"Please ek baar ho sakta ki saare differenced sort out ho jaaye.."
Gunajn:"Dekho Samrat..."
Samrat:Please for the last time Gunajn Please.."
Gunajn:Samrat tumhe pata bhi hain jabse vo Mayank se mil ker aayi hain she is crying...and crying...she is actually deeply hurt...
Samarat:Mein jaanta hoon Gunjan...
Gunajn:Tum nahi jaante Samrat,pehli baar usne humare kehne per kisi stranger per vishwas kerna sikha..aur badle mein usse kya mila dhoka..
Samrat:Ye to bas choti si aandhi hai Gunjan..agar tum saath dogi..to shayad..Mayank aur Nupur..apne life ki biggest happiness paa sake aur vo hain ek doosre ke saath..reh ker.
Gunajn:Tum kese keh sakte ho...Samrat..
Samarat:Bas dil mein hain Gunjan...Mayank and Nupur...unko kahin na kahin ek doosre ki hi zarurat hain..aur inhe ek karna humara kaam..madadt karogi na..please please..
"Okay fine. Par this is the last time.", Gunjan sternly said.
"Done.", Samrat said.

"Gunji, mujhe usse nahi milna phir bhi tu kyu leke aayi mujhe yaha?", Nupur said in irritation.
"Nupur, ek bar mille.. kya pata kuch accha ho jaaye.", Gunjan said with a sense of hope in her voice.
"Gunji..jab tu jaanti hain mera decision change nahi hoga to fir kya faayeda...".Nupur said.
Gunjan: Judge bhi apna final verdict sunane se pehle ek baar sabki sunte hain..tu ek baar to uski sun le...
Fine, but sirf tere kehene par.", Nupur said.
Gunajn: "Okay baba. Anyways, tu jaa. Mayank ghar ke baahar khada hai...jaldi jaa...ab isse pehle koi dekh le..
Nupur: "Hmm bye aur maa ko kuch mat bataana."
Gunjan:"Theek hai. Bye."
Nupur:"Bye."
Saying she waved her bye and went towards the place where his car was standing waiting for him.
**
Seeing Mayank's car outside her home, Nupur's anger went to the highest peak but controlling herself, she went close and got inside the car.
"Tumhe mujhse baat karni thi, bolo kya baat hai.", Nupur sternly said without looking at Mayank.
Suddenly Mayank started his car which made Nupur shocked. "Mayank, tum mujhe kaha lekar jaa rahe ho? You can't take me anywhere like this..."
"Tumhe kisi se milwaana hai.", Mayank said with an expressionless look and kept himself focussed on driving...ignoring her question.
Nupur:"Mayank,Mene tumse kuch poocha hain pehle mere sawalon ka jawab do..."
Mayank: Mein tumhare kisi bhi question ka answer dena abhi isi waqt zaruri nahi samjhta...
Nupur..raising her anger: Mayank tum apna hadh paar kar rahe ho. Just stop the car, I said."
"Nupur, tum shayad yeh bhul chuki ho ki hum abhi bhi engaged hai and I have right on you, mein tumhe kahin bhi le jaa sakta hoon and can do anything with you ,so just stay quiet, got it?", Mayank rudely said.
Nupur was amazed at Mayank's shamelessness. "Tum kaise insaan ho? Don't you have any guilt? Tunhari himmat kese hui mere se aise baat kerne ki...tumne cheap...chii...Sach mein peheli baar mujhse kisi ko sorry sorry apne hi fiancee ko pehechaanne mein galti ho gayi."
Mayank : I know Nupur you think ki main bohot ghatiyaa insaan hoon aur mene jo kiya uske liye I am really sorry and I hate myself for that and also having a guilt that you have this type of my imgae in your mind..Changing the topic he said. Anyways, humara destination aa gaya.. chalo."
**
Mayank and Nupur went inside a park. While Nupur annoyedly rolled her eyes, Mayank's eyes searched for someone and finally when he got her, he said to Nupur, "Nupur, chalo, aaj main tumse uss ladki se official introduction karwaa deta hoon jiski baaho mein tumne mujhe dekha."Taking her hand he pulled her towards a person.
"Whaaatt?", Nupur exclaimed in surprise and shock. How could a man stoop so low? She thought and shook her head...After all that happened he still wants here to follow him ...how could he..."Ab kya official introduction reh gaya ..ho hua vo kam tha..." She thought.
Nupur:Mayank, are you in your senses?"
Mayank said in his pleading tone:Please chalo mere saath."
Sighing she moved with him...not even noticed that their hands were enterwin...long before.
This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
Hope you like it
