S: karna kya hai wait karo uss k aaney ka.......
D: shut up suhaani.......
They again started their cat fights while Nupur there was getting mad thinking about what if he will really comes there. Her mama was also at home and baba was also about to come. What will she if he will really come there?
D: IDEA!!!!!!!!!! (dia spoke suddenly with loud voice startling Nupur and Suhaani)
S: Dia yeh tum aram se bi to keh sakti thi na (she complained making face)
N: konsa idea? (she asked qiuckly with some hope)
D: lets go somewhere. If he'll come he won't get you here? How is it? (she spoke in a breath waiting for their response)
S: (after somtime) well nice idea. It will work surely. What do you think Nupur? (she aske Nupur who was lost in thoughts)
N: i guess you are right. (she spoke in low tone)
D: ok fine so lets go
N: ok let me change first (she said getting up)
D: don't be silly (she spoke holding her hand)
N: what? (loked confused)
D: what if he will come in your this changing clothes session, don't waste time and lets go. (she said gesturing suhaani to get up, as she was comfortably sitting on couch with her legs above)
N: lein uss ne kaha tha k wo raat ko aaye ga, its just 3 pm........
S: waise uss ko tumhara number kahan se mila.....
D: what a silly questin Suhaani, agar wo adress pata kar sakta hai to mobile no. is not a big deal....
N: uss ne landline pe phone kiya tha, my cell, i have lost that, i don't know where, i was thinking to buy a new one but haven't time for that now aur jo kuch bi hoa uss ka baad to.......(actually she left her cell in taxi when Mayank came to drop her home)
They were stil getting up when they heard door bell and Nupur plopped on armchair.
Just then a second bell, and there came her mum shout, " Nupur beta dekho bahir kon hai, i am in kitchen"
Nupur looked helplessly at Dia and Suhaani and they shrugged. But then Suhani spoke
S: Nupur maybe its not Mayank, koi aur bi to ho sakta hai na
N: agar wahi hoa to, (then herself getting up) nahi i think its baba, main daikhti hun.......
She went out of living room leaving Dia and Suhaani there.
She opened the door anticipating her Baba but to her utmost shock it was Mayank standing there. Nupur was standing there stunned. She blinked her eyes twice inorder to believe was it really Mayank or was she just dreaming. But it wasn't her dream it was really Mayank standing infront of her, her husband, Mayank Sharma. He raised his eye brows looking her shocked and secrety smiled. Nupur instantly looked behind turning back and then again looked at Mayank worriedly. She was about to say something but instead Mayank spoke
M: excuse me, please aap side per hon gi (Mayank said as she was standing at door and there was no space for him to go in)
This caused Nupur open her eyes wide open, as he was saying her to get side to come in. 'has he gona mad, no he is already mad' she thought. What she will do now? Nupur was feeling her head swaying and she was feeling as if she was about to fall down. Mayank was undesrstanding her stuation, but to bring her back to reality from her trance, faked a cough causing Nupur to startle.
M: (looking at his other side he spoke) Uncle, please aaye ander........
Nupur narrowed her eyes in confusion as to whom he was talking. Only one side of door was opened she opened the other side to look who was standing there. It was her Baba who was standing there with Mayank's support. His head was bandaged and in his arm there was sling. Nupur instanty came to him and asked worriedly
N: baba......kya hoa aap ko? Yeh chot kaise lagi? Aur yeh sling? Hoa kya?
Sh: kuch nahi beta, wo bas chota sa accident ho gya tha .......
N: , Accident, kaise?baba aap ander chaliye pehle
She said giving him support from one side as in other there was Mayank. Nupur draped her arm around her Baba, and her hand was accidently touched to Mayank's. She instantly pulled her hand back feeling electric sensation passing through her at this touch. Mayank too noticed it and himself took Shashank inside the villa. Nupur too came in slamming door behind.
Till then Dia, Suhaani and padma also came out of living room. Mayank made Shashank sit on sofa. Nupur came to her baba and sat down infront of him on floor and asked worriedly with tears in her eyes..
N: baba yeh kaise hoa? Aap ka accident kaise hoa? Aap thiek to hai na?Zyada chot to nahi aayi? Dard to nahi ho raha? Aap kuch bol kyon nahi rahe?
Mayank was looking at her smilingly standing at side. How she was speaking so much in one breath. For th first time he was looking her speaking too much.
While shashank placing hand on her head said
Sh: main thiek hun beta.....dekho tumhare samney hun
P: (worriedly) lekin yeh sab hoa kaise?
Sh: kuch nahi bas aaj kal k youngsters roads per bike racing kar rahe thy, bas control nahi raha to accident ho gya. Wo to wahan yeh Mayank tha jo mujhy hospital lay gya warna condition sever ho sakti thi. (Nupur too looked at Mayank this time, even others also look him)
P: thank you so much beta....(she said mayank with gratitude)
M: please aunty don't say that agar koi aur bi hota to yehi karta....
Dia and Suhaani were also looking at him. Dia was noticing him very carefully from head to toe.
Sh: Beta tum kharey kyon ho, betho na
M: umm nahi uncle, i am getting late main ab chalta hun,
P: beta pehli dafa aaye ho, aur tum ne jo hamare liya kia uss k baad aise kaise jaaney dain, thori dair betho to sahi......
M: ok to aap mujhy rukney ko iss liye keh rahi hain k maine uncle ki help ki, means you are returning the favour in this way....(trying to play with her smiling playfully)
P: arey nahi beta main to........
M: janta hun aunty lekin abi mujhy jana hai, i am seriously getting late, but i will surely come someother time to check on your health uncle (he said smilingly)
Sh: ok beta, as you wish
P: buhat hi pyaara bacha hai (she said patting his arm)
This cause Nupur look at him again, "pyaara bacha, you don't know him mama" Nupur said to herself looking at Mayank. Unerstanding her this double meaning glare Mayank wanted to chuckle but somehow controlled.
M: Ok uncle i should go now, Bye and please take care of yourself, i'll sure come someday to meet you (he said secretly looking at Nupur, she too understood his double meaning talks)
M: yeh medicines (he said to Nupur handing her the packet of medicines, which Nupur took reluctantly) uncle ko time per detey rehye ga, you yourself are a doctor so i don't think so i have to tell you anything....(he said Nupur, who was listening him with her head bowed)
Padma took Shashank inside the room and Nupur turned to look at Mayank who was moving towards exit door. She heaved a sigh and turned to Dia and Suhaani who gestured her to look back.
Nupur too followed their gaze back at Mayank who was standing there at door looking towards Nupur. Nupur became frightened at the way he was looking at her, which even increases as he gestured her to come to him. She looked at Suhaani and Dia questioningly, they nodded and Nupur turned to face him again who was still standing there with his hands in his pocket.
She tilted her head down and trailed slowly towards Mayank fiddling with the hem of her duppata and stopped there infront of him still looking down. And waiting for him to say what he wanted to
Mayank looked at her smilingly as how she obeyed him and was standing infront of him as a student infront of his teacher after comminting some mistake. After some seconds he spoke
M: dekha maine kaha tha k main tum se milney aaon ga, so aa gya. Waise i didn't know k uncle tumhare baba hain, wo to jab maine unn se adress pocha to maine guess kiya that he must be your father. I was thinking how will i come to see you and God himself brought me here in this way. (he told her but added further)Well i think wo bi wahi chahtey hain jo k main.....
Nupur was listening him silently still her gaze down.
M: dekho Nupur (he said sternly which made Nupur to look at him) tum jitni jaldi hamara relation accept kar lo gi utna hi acha ho ga mere liye bi aur tumhare liye bi (he said her looking into her eyes)
N: wo,.........main
M: its alright, i should go now, aur uncle ka khyal rakhna (he almost ordered in a typical husband's style and after that himself smiled in heart looking her expressions as she narrowed her eyes at him)
He turned to go but returned before Nupur closed the door and said "by the way white tumhe buhat suit karta hai" he said smilingly, winked at her and left leaving startled Nupur who was wearing white churidaar.
As he left Dia and Suhaani came towards her, they were watchig Mayank talking to Nupur and were noticing his gestures but didn't heard anything as they were at some distance and Suhaani spoke abruptly
S: oh God Nupur.........yeh to buhat hi sadu hai, tumhe pori life iss sadu k sath hi bitani parey gi.......(after saying she noticed Dia and Nupur's glare at her)
Nupur came to her room in anger not at Suhaani but she was angry at Mayank of course. "samajta kia hai khud ko, jab dill main jo aata hai wo karta hai, had hoti hai kisi baat ki, agar mama, baba ko kuch pata chal jata to, aur wo bi kaise uss ki tareefien kar rahe thy, bara aaya, Mayank Sharma, my foot" she was blabbering to herself
Dia entered in room followed by Suhaani and spoke
D: yeh kia tum khud se hi lagi hoi ho? Baat kia hai?
N: don't you know han? Aik to wo Mayank, order aise de raha tha jaise k mera husband ho.......(she said with anger as she collasped at couch)
S: husband hi to hai (she added reluctantly remembring her first glare in hall)
Nupur too reminded now that he was actually her husband now but still glared at Suhaani.
D: aur by the way yahan to buhat gussa aa raha hai, uss k samney to aise innocent ban k khari thi jaise k kuch bolna aata hi nahi.......
N: shut up Dia, tumhere sath yeh hota na to tumhe pata chalta, phir main daikhti tum kais bolti uss k samney. Mujh to buhat dar lagta hai Mayank se, pata nahi kab kia kar de, uss ka kia barosa, aur aaj baba k sath ghar tak aa gya, agar uss ne baba ko kuch bata diya to. Aur agar kisi aur ko kuch bata diya to. Agar uss ne un marriage certificate se mujhy blackmail kiya to......(she was just on and on with her insecurities and worries, sometimes she spoke too much that it became difficult to shut her mouth)
D: Stop it Nupur, boley jaa rahi ho, boley jaa rahi ho, kam se kam sans to lo......
S: but she is right Dia, What if he will blackmail her or something like.....
D: (cutting her off) well i don't know much Nupur but i think wo tumhe lay kar serious hai, i don't think so he will do anything like this (she spoke calmly but in confident tone)
N: how can you say this, i don't believe him not only him i don't believe anyone (he said out of irritation), sab log aik jaise hotey hain, he can do anything....(Nupur didn't believe others, she just believe on herself, her parents and friends (dia and suhaani). not even a single person else then these
D: jo bi hai but still.......anyways lets forget it now aur uncle k pass chaltey hain, un se theik se baat bi nahi hoi....
N: han you are right........(getting worried again as she get up to move outside the room)
Then they all headed towards Shashank and padma's room to inquire about his health.
Mayank was in tv lounge in pajamas and t shirt, sitting on couch comfortably with cushion in his lap while flipping through channels. But was not actually watching what was coming on channels. As he was remembring about Nupur, the way she responded when he was infront of her at her door, her continuously changing expressions, and the way she was speaking so much in one breath 'i didn't know she can speak so much' he thought shaking his head playfully. He heaved a sigh remembring about his meeting with her. Gunjan came there with two cups of coffee but Mayank was too lost in his thought to notice. She saw him smiling to himself. Although she became very happy looking him smiling whole heartly after so many days but how could she let the chance of teasing him go from her hand.
She said sitting next to him putting the tray at table
G: ahme ahem (faking cough to make him realise her presence)
But no response. This was limit now.........
G: this is too much Mayank, i am sitting here beside you and you didn't even noticed me. (she said enough loud to make him realise her presence)
M: oh Gunjan tum, kab aayi? (he said pretending as if nothing has happened)
G: tabi jab tum yeh tragedy scene daikh kar smile kar rahe thy. (she said pointing at the tv show, a bit serious one)
Mayank this time noticed what was coming on tv, and then instantly changed to cartoon network.
G: wowwww cartoons nice, kya taste hai tumhara (she said in taunting tone)
M: stop it chashmish (he said throwing cushion at her), its enough now, don't you think
G: of course i think( placing cushion at side), issi liye to poch rahi hun aakhir baat kya hai, yeh smile, yeh shine kuch to special hoa hai.....(she asked supiciously)
M: nothing is like that.......ok
G: oh really.......
M: yeah really
G: now stop it Mayank, and tell me honestly, kuch progress hoi kya? (she asked mischiviously)
M: (smiled remembring about Nupur) hmm nahi, not yet........
G: to phir what is this smile for? (she asked handing him coffee)
M: kyonki ab main janta hun k mujhy kia karna hai, and its not as difficult as i thought it would be.......
G: well best of luck then, i hope sab jald hi thiek ho jaaye......
M: hmm......thiek to hona hi hai, aaj nahi to kal......(he said in detemined tone taking the sip of coffee)
They both were silent for sometime enjoying their hot drinks when Mayank got up leaving the cup on table
M: i'm going to my room, kafi time ho gya hai, good night (he smiled at her)
G: (instantly getting up) Mayank,
Mayank turned to look at her with questionng look.....
G: wo mujhy kuch baat.... karni...thi tum se....(she said little bit stammering)
M: (confused at her stammering) kya hoa?
G: wo.....wo actually....wo kuch...important baat thi....to
M: (pacing towards her) baat kya hai, why are you hesitating so much.......(heasked as she never hesitated ever before talking to Mayank)
G: Ummm..wo....(then suddenly little bit loud) pehle promise karo, tum chup chap meri baat suno gay aur typical bhaiyon ki tarha behave nahi karo ge.........
M: What??.......(he witted his brows)....what are you talking about?
G: pehle promise karo........(she retorted)
M: no way!!!!!!!......pehle batao baat kya hai, main khud decide karon ga apna reaction after listening you.....
G: Mayank.......(she said in a pleading tone)
M: tum bata rahi ho k nahi.........(he replied in a warning tone pointing finger at him)
G: wo......main......aur...wo samrat.........(she closed her eyes and said in a breath) samrat mujh se shaadi karna chahta hai........
M: whatttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! (his this much loud what compelled Gunjan to open her eyes)
G: kya hoa?
M: yeh samrat ki to main.........(he said grinding his teeth but then controling his temper)........kab se chal raha hai yeh sab? (he asked in a strict tone)
G: 3 saal se.........(replied in a low voice with her head down)
M: oh, it means jab se main london gya tha tab se....right?
Gunjan simply nodded at this, now waiting for his reaction.....
M: maine samrat se jaane se pehle kaha tha meri family ka khyal rakhna, kafi acha khyal rakha hai uss ne.......
How much a friend is close may be but when it comes to sisters every brother in this world came to the peak of his possessiveness. Same was with Mayank. How much good friend he was with samrat but Gunjan was his sister, although cousin sister but he loved her a lot and really care for her when it comes to her happiness. And this was related to her whole life.
M: (heaved a sigh) do you love him? (he asked her directly)
G: hmm? (although she had heard wht did he say but she still wanted to confirm)
M: i asked do you love him?
Sha again nodded with "aur ham dono shadi bi karna chahtey hain lekin baba ko main kaise batati" she told him with her head bowed
M: lekin samrat to bata sakta hai na.......
G: ham pehle tumhe batana chahtey thy........issliye
M: ok......
G: kya? (she smilingly looked up at him assuming as if he had said ok to their relation)
M: what kya? (gunjan made a face and Mayank smiled a bit) Main mama ji se baat karon ga.......tumhare aur samrat k liye
G: really?.........(she exclaimed out of happiness)
M: han really.......i just want your happiness, and samrat is right guy for you as i completely trust him.
G: thank you so much Mayank......(she said happily and hugged him)...thank you, thank you, thank you.........
M: (broking apart) ok ok....relax.......now its getting late. I will talk to mama ji as soon as possible. And he will surely listen me. Even would agree with me. Now go and sleep and you can share this news with samrat if you want.........(he said smiling playfully)
Gunjan looked down smiling shyly......Mayank too smiled looking at her and then placed his hand on her head to give her his blessings just like elder brothers give blessings to their younger sisters. "always be happy like this"......he said and went to his room leaving Gunjan there smiling to herself.

Nupur too reminded now that he was actually her husband now but still glared at Suhaani.
D: aur by the way yahan to buhat gussa aa raha hai, uss k samney to aise innocent ban k khari thi jaise k kuch bolna aata hi nahi.......
N: shut up Dia, tumhere sath yeh hota na to tumhe pata chalta, phir main daikhti tum kais bolti uss k samney. Mujh to buhat dar lagta hai Mayank se, pata nahi kab kia kar de, uss ka kia barosa, aur aaj baba k sath ghar tak aa gya, agar uss ne baba ko kuch bata diya to. Aur agar kisi aur ko kuch bata diya to. Agar uss ne un marriage certificate se mujhy blackmail kiya to......(she was just on and on with her insecurities and worries, sometimes she spoke too much that it became difficult to shut her mouth)
D: Stop it Nupur, boley jaa rahi ho, boley jaa rahi ho, kam se kam sans to lo......
S: but she is right Dia, What if he will blackmail her or something like.....
D: (cutting her off) well i don't know much Nupur but i think wo tumhe lay kar serious hai, i don't think so he will do anything like this (she spoke calmly but in confident tone)
N: how can you say this, i don't believe him not only him i don't believe anyone (he said out of irritation), sab log aik jaise hotey hain, he can do anything....(Nupur didn't believe others, she just believe on herself, her parents and friends (dia and suhaani). not even a single person else then these
D: jo bi hai but still.......anyways lets forget it now aur uncle k pass chaltey hain, un se theik se baat bi nahi hoi....
N: han you are right........(getting worried again as she get up to move outside the room)
Then they all headed towards Shashank and padma's room to inquire about his health.
Mayank was in tv lounge in pajamas and t shirt, sitting on couch comfortably with cushion in his lap while flipping through channels. But was not actually watching what was coming on channels. As he was remembring about Nupur, the way she responded when he was infront of her at her door, her continuously changing expressions, and the way she was speaking so much in one breath 'i didn't know she can speak so much' he thought shaking his head playfully. He heaved a sigh remembring about his meeting with her. Gunjan came there with two cups of coffee but Mayank was too lost in his thought to notice. She saw him smiling to himself. Although she became very happy looking him smiling whole heartly after so many days but how could she let the chance of teasing him go from her hand.
She said sitting next to him putting the tray at table
G: ahme ahem (faking cough to make him realise her presence)
But no response. This was limit now.........
G: this is too much Mayank, i am sitting here beside you and you didn't even noticed me. (she said enough loud to make him realise her presence)
M: oh Gunjan tum, kab aayi? (he said pretending as if nothing has happened)
G: tabi jab tum yeh tragedy scene daikh kar smile kar rahe thy. (she said pointing at the tv show, a bit serious one)
Mayank this time noticed what was coming on tv, and then instantly changed to cartoon network.
G: wowwww cartoons nice, kya taste hai tumhara (she said in taunting tone)
M: stop it chashmish (he said throwing cushion at her), its enough now, don't you think
G: of course i think( placing cushion at side), issi liye to poch rahi hun aakhir baat kya hai, yeh smile, yeh shine kuch to special hoa hai.....(she asked supiciously)
M: nothing is like that.......ok
G: oh really.......
M: yeah really
G: now stop it Mayank, and tell me honestly, kuch progress hoi kya? (she asked mischiviously)
M: (smiled remembring about Nupur) hmm nahi, not yet........
G: to phir what is this smile for? (she asked handing him coffee)
M: kyonki ab main janta hun k mujhy kia karna hai, and its not as difficult as i thought it would be.......
G: well best of luck then, i hope sab jald hi thiek ho jaaye......
M: hmm......thiek to hona hi hai, aaj nahi to kal......(he said in detemined tone taking the sip of coffee)
They both were silent for sometime enjoying their hot drinks when Mayank got up leaving the cup on table
M: i'm going to my room, kafi time ho gya hai, good night (he smiled at her)
G: (instantly getting up) Mayank,
Mayank turned to look at her with questionng look.....
G: wo mujhy kuch baat.... karni...thi tum se....(she said little bit stammering)
M: (confused at her stammering) kya hoa?
G: wo.....wo actually....wo kuch...important baat thi....to
M: (pacing towards her) baat kya hai, why are you hesitating so much.......(heasked as she never hesitated ever before talking to Mayank)
G: Ummm..wo....(then suddenly little bit loud) pehle promise karo, tum chup chap meri baat suno gay aur typical bhaiyon ki tarha behave nahi karo ge.........
M: What??.......(he witted his brows)....what are you talking about?
G: pehle promise karo........(she retorted)
M: no way!!!!!!!......pehle batao baat kya hai, main khud decide karon ga apna reaction after listening you.....
G: Mayank.......(she said in a pleading tone)
M: tum bata rahi ho k nahi.........(he replied in a warning tone pointing finger at him)
G: wo......main......aur...wo samrat.........(she closed her eyes and said in a breath) samrat mujh se shaadi karna chahta hai........
M: whatttttttt!!!!!!!!!!! (his this much loud what compelled Gunjan to open her eyes)
G: kya hoa?
M: yeh samrat ki to main.........(he said grinding his teeth but then controling his temper)........kab se chal raha hai yeh sab? (he asked in a strict tone)
G: 3 saal se.........(replied in a low voice with her head down)
M: oh, it means jab se main london gya tha tab se....right?
Gunjan simply nodded at this, now waiting for his reaction.....
M: maine samrat se jaane se pehle kaha tha meri family ka khyal rakhna, kafi acha khyal rakha hai uss ne.......
How much a friend is close may be but when it comes to sisters every brother in this world came to the peak of his possessiveness. Same was with Mayank. How much good friend he was with samrat but Gunjan was his sister, although cousin sister but he loved her a lot and really care for her when it comes to her happiness. And this was related to her whole life.
M: (heaved a sigh) do you love him? (he asked her directly)
G: hmm? (although she had heard wht did he say but she still wanted to confirm)
M: i asked do you love him?
Sha again nodded with "aur ham dono shadi bi karna chahtey hain lekin baba ko main kaise batati" she told him with her head bowed
M: lekin samrat to bata sakta hai na.......
G: ham pehle tumhe batana chahtey thy........issliye
M: ok......
G: kya? (she smilingly looked up at him assuming as if he had said ok to their relation)
M: what kya? (gunjan made a face and Mayank smiled a bit) Main mama ji se baat karon ga.......tumhare aur samrat k liye
G: really?.........(she exclaimed out of happiness)
M: han really.......i just want your happiness, and samrat is right guy for you as i completely trust him.
G: thank you so much Mayank......(she said happily and hugged him)...thank you, thank you, thank you.........
M: (broking apart) ok ok....relax.......now its getting late. I will talk to mama ji as soon as possible. And he will surely listen me. Even would agree with me. Now go and sleep and you can share this news with samrat if you want.........(he said smiling playfully)
Gunjan looked down smiling shyly......Mayank too smiled looking at her and then placed his hand on her head to give her his blessings just like elder brothers give blessings to their younger sisters. "always be happy like this"......he said and went to his room leaving Gunjan there smiling to herself.
