@all thanks for all the sweet comments😃
Part 49:
It was a Sunday the next day and Mayank had made a plan for he first time to go for an outing to Matheran waking Nupur up from her inexhaustable sleep...it was a short trip decided by him because he knew he had some urgent work cropping for the following week before he could think of planning a big one with her...
Nupur revolted immediately getting up in the morning saying, "Mayank, Matheran...trekking is not at all Romantic..." she completed crossing her hands on her chest and speaking as a matter-of-factly...
Mayank tried to convince..."Nupur, hum Car se wahan tak jaayenge...phir wahan ek special ''Mini Train' chalti hai hum woh kar lenge...aur wahan trekking ki jagah horse-riding bhi karte hain log...hum woh kar lenge...that is agar tum thak gayi toh..."
Nupur considered her options and asked, "Par jab bhi main kahoongi toh hum trekking stop kar denge...promise?"
Mayank closed his eyes in assurance and said, "Promise"
Nupur was still standing there trying to be sure of Mayank's promise when Mayank suddenly replied unexpectantly, "Aur jahan tak Romantic ki baat hai...well, you never know..."and stood extemely close to her looking deeply in her eyes when she jolted out of his enchanting eyes and said, "Achcha ab chalo toh...journey start karenge tabhi toh poori karenge naa Mayank" Mayank chuckled at her constant demand of romance and at the same time trying to escape it trying to hold onto herself...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mayank and Nupur both left home in Mayank's car after informing the house keeper to inform his Ma and Dad about their trip...it was still very early in the morning and they saw the sun rising early in the morning whilst they had just started for their destination...
Nupur blabberred every next thing that came to her mind along with the fact that how beautiful it felt to see sunrise with Mayank on the way...Mayank felt the same but replied back, "Nupur agar aisa hai toh main tumhe roz subah utha diya karoonga..."
Nupur immediately retorted back, "Par isse jyaada mujhe subah uth kar tumhara face dekh kar achcha lagta hai...toh yeh kabhi kabhi bhi ho toh bhi chalega..." and that was a fact too...
Mayank smiled at her words for the way she gave excuses to wake up late everytime but also for the fact that she stated later on...she loved to wake up to his face he had noted a soothing expression endorsing her face everytime she woke up and opened her eyes to look at him...
Nupur broke his train of thoughts when she shouted as if to stop-an-accident, "Mayank...ruko...ruko...ruko"
Mayank brought the car to a sudden halt in the corner of the road and looked at her in a quizzical expression...Nupur replied laughing a little at how she made him hassle for a second and answered, "Woh...wahan chai wala hai...chalo hum chai peete hain phir chalte hain...subah ki chai zaroori hoti hai..."
Mayank looked at the place and looking back at Nupur and correcting her words 'chai wala' he said, "Tea-shop
Nupur...par..yahaan?...thodi aur doori par koi achchitea shop ya restaurant hogi hum wahan le lenge..."
Nupur replied back, "Yeh bhi achcha hi hoga Mayank...chalo naa...mujhe yahin par peena hai..."and opening the car she got out and immediately ordered 2 tea's and bringing both the tea cups in her hand, she indicated for the concerned person to get his bill paid by Mayank and there they were both having tea in the car when after taking a sip and relishing it she raised her cup towards Mayank and said, "Cheers" and Mayank followed suit while he shaked his head at however the silly things are, they are always so much fun with Nupur...
They started their journey again and Nupur kept on talking and talking but this time the difference was Mayank talked too and more than Nupur had expected, she saw him opening up to her more and more each day and she was loving the fact that the more she got to know him, the more she felt her attachment and love growing for him...he was afterall the most genuine guy and lovable guy she could ever think of...and the best part was...she was now 'her guy'
The main adventure for them started when the steep slopes of the 'mountains-made-into-roads' started...it was such a pleasant sight to look at where all the depth beside roads showed was greenery along with some locals inhabiting in extremely small houses, which looked even smaller from such heights...
Nupur wondered if mayank ever did anything where she can pin-point mistakes...coz the way he drove at the curved and twisted turns, it still gave the feeling of the most smooth drive and felt most secured with his presence...and how impressive and handsome he looked while driving so calmly and not losing his focus to look about the place where Nupur wanted to unravel every corner of the view she could see sitting in the car...
Mayank inbetween looked at Nupur every now and then for the excitement she generated in him with her ideas and thoughts of the place and how everytime she used words like - wow, beautiful, gorgeous, pleasant...he could cleraly watch the words adorning her expressions...
Mayank parked the car where the limits permitted in the meanwhile Nupur went up to buy the entry tickets and also the map of the place they were determined to explore together...
------------------------------------------------------------
They went up to buy the tickets of the mini train but the queue for it was so long that they had to decide onto starting with some trekking itself...
Since very few of the trains passed those tracks and that too, too slow at that, it was usual and the best way to start towards it...they both started walking on the tracks while
Nupur held Mayank's hand and entwined it with hers...there were trees all around and the journey seemed beautiful since they both were together...it was one great moment to cherish to walk amidst the nature with hands in hands of your better half...Nupur could sense it was gonna be a memory in the making...
Nupur talked looking at the trees..."Mayank, tumhe sunset achcha lagta hai ya sunrise"
Mayank looked amazed at her odd question and answered, "Sunrise...kyun"
Nupur shaked her head and said, "Mujhe pata tha...tumhara answer yahi hoga...afterall Mr.Mayank Sharma ko kaam se pyaar jo hai..."
Before Mayank could ask Nupur eplied herself, "Mujhe toh sunset pasand hai...har sunset mein ek beautiful aur alag colour hota hai...kabhi pink..kabhi orange...thoda sa purple-ish...lekin roz phir bhi alag...naya saa..."
Mayank smiled at her description...he concluded he would like to know nature through her point of view once...it would surely make him live it in a better way...
Mayank said quickly, "Aur mujhe bhi poochne ki zaroorat nahi hai ki tumhara favourite day kaunsa hai...Sunday haina..."
Nupur laughed and said, "Obviously Mayank..."and both laughed simultaneously at how the predictability was finding its space between them...
------------------------------------------------------
Nupur pulled Mayank's hand and indicating between the trees she said, "Mayank, chalo yahan se short cut hoga, chal kar dekhte hain..."
Mayank pulled her hand back and said, "Tum kya yahan pehle aayi ho?...tumhe kaise pata Nupur..."
Nupur again pulled his hand and said, "Bachpan mein aayi thi...par thoda explore toh karte hain...mujhe aur bahut jyaada nahi chalna..."
Mayank laughed and followed her...
When they finally didn't find any new route Mayank looked at Nupur with a question and smile on his face and raising his eye borws he asked, "Toh Nupur ab lautein?"
Nupur tried to get back by saying, "Nahi Mayank koi toh short cut hoga...abhi mil hi jaayega...thoda aur chalte hain naa..."
Mayank smiled and headed towards her when she collided with a tree bark while taking back her steps and looked up at Mayank when he smiled and asked, "Nupur, tum kya mujhe yahan jaan boojhkar akeli jagah laayi ho?"
Nupur asked shocked, "Matlab?"
Mayank smiled and said, "Matlab yeh ki..." and keeping both his hands on he sides he continued, "Kya tum iss trip ko Romantic banane ke liye yeh tareeke aazma rahi ho?" and he tried to hide his laughter looking at Nupur's red face going confused to defensive...
Nupur looked in his eyes and replied rebelling but shying still, "Nahi Mayank...main toh sach mein raasta dhoond rahi thi...maine socha adventure ho jaayega..."
Mayank smiled and said, "Adventure?" Mayank went close to her and kissing the tip of her nose and then dashing his nose with hers he looked in her eyes and asked, "Romantic adventure kaisa rahega?"
Nupur blushed fully and looked away when he cupped her face in his hands and said looking deeeply in her eyes, "Nupur, tum shayad jaanti bhi nahi...ki tumne meri life mein woh feelings aur woh happiness laayi hai, jo main jaanta bhi nahi tha ki exist karti hain...aur tumse pyaar to badhta hi jaa raha hai...toh dhyaan rakhna ki mujhse dur ab kabhi bhi nahi jaana...theek hai...kyunki woh mujhe khudse dur kar dega..."
Nupur smiles and nodded while tears filled the void in her eyes and she smiles even more widely to stop her bizaare emotions and said, "Same here..." and chuckling Mayank wiped off her tears and kissed her closed eyes and said, "Chalo tumhara adventure poora karne...aaj toh yahan se rasta dhund kar hi rahenge" Nupur laughed with him and followed him smiling...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later, they reached the small market catered over there by the locals where Nupur suddenly wanted to shop for a hat, bags and all until Mayank denied any more baggage to carry along...Nupur made a pout and added to his baggage just a little...
------------------------------------------
They had breakfast in a decent enough place over there and continued to their journey where they just walked and talked for hours while passing Echo point, and several other point...it also had a beautiful and peaceful temple where
Mayank and Nupur visited to wish for their relashionship's longetivity and happiness...
Later on while coming back, Nupur threw tantrums for no more walking and Mayank just had to adhere to his promise by hiring 2 horses that took them back...It was one beautiful day they spent together...nothing out of the world but still gave a feeling which said 'Out of the World'...
Then they went for a late and a heavy lunch in a Restaurant, this time of Mayank's choice...
------------------------------------------------------------------
On the way back on drive, Nupur ignored all the scenaries she saw outsde and sat tilted as much was in her hand to watch Mayank drive...she regretted having lost this chance earlier that day...
While all Mayank could do was to smile at her and she would pretend as if she still was admiring the greeneries and mountains...and would shift her focus for sometime, making
Mayank wanting to stare back in her eyes and hold onto the moment but all he did was roll his eyes at her words...
