Morning
mayanks voice-NUPUR
nupur is busy searching something inside her cupboard, then in suitcase and mumbling " hey bhagwaan, yeh mujhe kachha chabadega...aur mujhe mil nahin raha hain."
"agar ek aur min bhi late hua tho main jaa rahaan hoon. Tum khudh jaake shukla sir se baat karlena."
then he came in completely irritated into the room and saw her standing in front of the mirror , angrily he took off," tumhe abhi make up karne ka time nahin hain. Jaise ho teek ho. Chalo."
she didnt move, but was blushing," tum jao"
he walked towards her still angrily and before he could scream again, she held out her hand in front of him and showed a chain- mangalsutra ' and said," wo isko dhoond rahi thi. Gunjan ne repair karwaake diya aur maine socha tha ki college jaane ..."
he took a deep breath knowing he shouldnt be angry now though they were getting delayed , smiled and taking it from her hands, turned her around and put it, on her neck, nupur blushing furiously.
"tho bol nahin sakthi thi. Ab iski itni urgently kya zaroorat thi..." and looking at her red face," kya baat hain nupur, tumne tho shaadi ke din bhi itna blush nahin kiya." and hugged her waist keeping his head on her shoulder.
" shaadi ke din? Blush karne ki time thi? " and grinned." waise mayank ab tumhe dher nahin horahin hain?" she teased him.
"kya farak padtha hain? Main staff hoon tho thoda late jaasaktha hoon." he said kissing her cheek.
She pushed him back ," lekin thanks to you main ek student ho hoon aur mujhe darr lag raha hain.chalo, mujhe maa se aashirwaad bhi lena hain."
"yeh sab ko advertise mat karo ki tumhaari shaadi hogayi hain etc., etc., sab ke saath friendship karnekeliye mushkil hoga. Okay?"
she nodded nervously.
"aur zyaada socho mat. Tum do din mein adjust kar paaogi" he said cupping her face and placed a reassuring kiss on the forehead. She nodded and started walking away.
"yeh chain tho mere paas tha na. Gunjan ko kahaan se mila?" he said walking behind her.
"tumhaare cupboard se" and walked out.
Mere cupboard main bhi privacy nahin?!
---------------
Excel
She went feeling that everyone was looking at her , etc., gunjan dropped her to the classroom and left. She got ragged by the students including ashwini and rohan, scoldings from the princi and shukla sir.
(didnt write the ragging in detail bcoz its boring to write and im sure to read as well! )

MN house
bell- mayank opened the door , nupur walked in without looking at him. Mayank followed her quickly and stopped her.
"nu... nupur nupur...stop st..stop."
"yeh haklaa kyun rahe ho? Maa kahaan hain?"
" kyunke tumhe shahrukh pasand hain tho maine socha ki ..." she gave him a dirty look," okay sorry. Maa baahar gayi hain." she walked towards their room without bothering to answer him.
He did that 'oosshh kind of a face(sorry cant explain) and followed her.
She had thrown her bag on the bed, her slippers in middle of the room, her dupatta on the study chair and her hair clip on the pillow. She was standing in front of the mirror looking at her own reflection.
" mayank kya mere chehre pe likha hain ' aao mujhe bewakoof banao"
"nupur...bachhe hain! Thoda sa tho mazaak kiye...tumhe yaad hain dia ne tumlogon ko kitna sataya tha aur phir tumne adhiraaj ko. Bas aisa hi..."
her hands on her waist," bachoon ki baat chodo. Badon ki karo."
"tum isliye gussa ho na ki maine tumhe support nahin kiya"
"nahin tho...main khush hoon ki mera pati mere saath nahin deta. " sarcastic
"wo princi ke saamne ..."
"agar koi aur student hota tho?" he was quiet," dekha...agar college mein hum sirf student aur teacher hain tho..tumne tho galthi ki na mayank. Meri galthi nahin thi aaj."
"sorry nupur."
"chodo. Mujhe aadat hogayi hain chot khaane ki" and without letting him say anything more , walked to the table and picked some book.
"aaj se?" mayank asked helplessly. He was used to her arguing about everything. This was bad.
" haan. Itna sab kuch itni kam time mein finish kaise karoongi?"
he stared wondering if she was angry or upset or both.
"waise bhi agar main fail hogayi tho tumhaara hi insult hoga."
he came and stood next to her chair, keeping a hand on her shoulder.
"tum itna pressure kyun lerahi ho nupur? Relax karo. Maine tumhe sab kuch aaj padne keliye nahin kahaan hain.ek baat ka gussa doosre ..."
"mayank mujhe padna hain." she said stiffly.
Mayank angrily went out.The bell rang, he opened it to find rohan and ash standing , clearly written on their faces that they didnt want to be there.
"tum log?"
"sir,
nupur di ne kahaan ki hum sab saath mein padenge"
"hi ashwini, aajao na. Rohan ..."and nupur called them in .
"ek minute," mayank pulled nupur aside,""yeh dono? Nupur, tum zaroor fail hojaaogi."
" "ek try karthe hain. Waise bhi abhi naye dost kahaan se milenge? sab tumhaare jaise intelligent tho hote nahin na ", she shook of mayanks hand and turned to the other two,
" Chalo."
All three went, sat inside one room leaving mayank alone.
-----------------------
"yeh log itna kya ppadrahe hain? Jaake dekhoo? Phir se gussa hojaayegi tho? Par dinner ka waqt hogaya hain...chalke dekhtha hoon." and slowly went into the room where the three of them had gone 2 hours ago. He stopped ,staring at the scene in front of him.Nupur was sitting on the floor with her head on the table , fast asleep. Rohan sitting on the chair with his legs on the armrest reminding mayank of samrat again asleep and ash on the carpet curled up again sleeping.
Mayank didnt know whether to laugh or to cry or to get angry.
His mobile rang, sounding loud in the silence. Before he could receive it, there was a loud scream.
"Nahin . Maine kahaan na...chodo..." and nupur had started hitting the air in front of her , her eyes still closed. Ash and rohan got up and stared at the sight in front of them.
Mayank ran to nupur scared, tried to hold her while she pushed saying, "chodo..." again and again.
Her hand hit the table as she moved it and the pain kind of woke her up. Mayank took advantage and held her hands preventing them from hurting herself further, but as he held it tightly, it pained her more and she started screaming again tears streaming down her eyes.
"please...mera haath chodo...dard horahaan hain.."
mayank left her hands but held her shoulders and shook her rudely, trying to wake her up. She looked at him with her tear filled eyes for a moment and then suddenly blanked out, leaning on him.
Mayank held her close , calling to her . He lifted her up in his arms and turned to take her up to the room.it was then that he realised rohan and ash staring at them, ashwini looking pale with fear or worry.
"sorry, aisa pehle kabhi hua nahin hain." he apologised.
"its okay sir. Hum aapki madat karein?"
"lagtha hain ki tumhe ashwini ko ghar leke jaane ki zyaada zaroorat hain."
rohan turned to look at ashwini and held her hand.
Mayank was about to go when ashwini ," mayank sir...aap ...please worry mat karo. " her eyes looking as blank as nupurs had been a few seconds ago.
he nodded and as an afterthought added," tum log gunjan ko kuch mat batana. Wo pareshaan hojaayegi. " they nodded," thanks"
mayank placed her on the bed gently, wondering what had happened . Her face creased into a frown once he placed her on the bed but became fine as he sat next to her sleeping form and patted her , she relaxed and was soon sleeping . Mayak watched her as her breathing became regular and continued to stoke her forehead and pat her. As she was holding his hand in a tight grip, he couldnt move but felt a small tear drop form at the corner of his eye. He swallowed his tears not wanting to disturb her.
He felt a strong urge to run to the place where that man was and beat him up to a pulp. He took a deep breath to steady himself .
Us ko ab kuch karke kya faayda. Jitna usne nupur ke dil ko chot pahunchaayi hain wo tho chalaa nahin jaayega. Par aaj...bohot ...main kya karoon? Main kaise isko apne past se nikaaloon?
He looked at her sleeping frame again and remembered the first time he had seen her sleeping- in the barn. She had held his hand just like now but the innocence was lost. His eyes moistened and there was a blur. He remembered his mom saying he should talk to her.

hi, another long update but i didnt know when to cut the parts.
i know we are waiting for nupurs side of the story , i felt she needed soemthing to precipitate her fear/hurt to force mayank to talk to her. so...the ragging and college came before the TALK between them.
anyway thanks for reading and liking and replying😊
