Mayank walked to the class the very next day, but he was in no mood to talk to anyone. He walked towards his seat near; Nupur ' who was missing ' took the seat and sat down quietly. The teacher hadn't arrived yet, which bugged him ' this meant people would talk to him. ''Hey Mayank!'' Adhiraj walked towards Mayank and spoke up. ''Adhiraj, mujhe toori deer ki liye akela choor do.'' Mayank gritted through his teeth, trying to hold his anger inside. Adhiraj simply nodded and walked off. Mayank buried his head into the table and held his arms around his head. ''Mayank?'' Nupur spoke. Mayank lifted his head up to see a stunning Nupur dressed in a long white simple dress which complimented her skin. Her long hair left out and straightened. Mayank was mesmerised by her beauty. ''Mayank?'' She asked again, noticing him gazing at her. ''Oh, right Hi.'' He replied and put his head down again. Nupur frowned. ''Are you okay?'' She asked concerned. ''I am fine.'' He looked up again and gritted through his teeth. ''But, why do you look so glum? You don't need to tell me what's wrong, but just tell me if I could help?'' Nupur asked politely worried. Mayank however found Nupur irritating, 'No.'' He simply replied and put his head back down again. ''Are you-'' this time Mayank got fed up and stood up. Nupur looked up at him startled. ''Who you do think you are? I thought you we're those quiet types of girls! They one's which don't continuously talk! But I was wrong! I thought you don't continuously talk to boys, but no! You follow me! Disgusting!'' Mayank shouted at the top of his voice. Everyone stopped what they we're doing and stared at Mayank and Nupur. Nupur was shocked by his sudden outburst and felt hurt by the accusations he'd thrown. She blinked her tears back. ''Sorry.'' She mumbled and got up to sit near Suhaani. Mayank took a few seconds to realize what damage he'd done and was shocked by what he said. He felt immensely guilty and wanted to apologize to Nupur. He was about to apologize when he saw Sir walking in, so he sat back down. He buried his face into the table, burning with guilt. ''Nupur, tum theek ho na?'' Suhaani asked concerned. ''Of course, why wouldn't I be?'' Nupur faked a smile, and just like everyone else Suhaani believed her. Suhaani smiled and simply nodded. ''Gunjan aur dia kaha hai? Aur riddhima bhi nahi hai?'' Suhaani asked looking around. ''Gunjan and dia ki tabeek karab hai aur Riddhima ki cousin ki shaadi hai.'' Nupur replied looking down. ''Oh'' Suhaani replied. Sir started mentioning the upcoming events of the school such as a new play etc' While everyone was simply bored. ''Okay. Class dismissed.'' Everyone walked out of class while Nupur stood and waited for Mayank. He ran out of class to see her waiting, was she waiting for me? No, not after what I did. ''Nupur, I am so-'' Mayank tried to explain but Nupur cut him off. ''Shut up! It's fine, by the way, are you okay? I'm so sorry for bothering you, I didn't mean to. Please forgive this cheeky monkey?'' Nupur smiled. Mayank was shocked, was this girl for real? He just shouted the guts out of her and she is APOLOGIZING? He was completely sure; he has never met a girl like her before. ''Wow, Nupur Bhushan you are something alright!'' Nupur was surprised by his comment. ''I don't forgive people who haven't done anything to be forgiven about.'' He smirked and walked off. Nupur smiled, Mayank is a great friend, she thought. ''Nupur.'' Suhaani called out. Nupur walked towards her. They both started walking towards the cafeteria and sat down. ''Is school ka sabse hot larka kaun hai?'' Suhaani giggled. Nupur simply rolled her eyes, ''No one is hot here.'' Suhaani frowned, 'Come one Nupur! Just one name, think okay just think for 10 seconds. I know! Close your eyes.'' Are you serious?'' Nupur asked. ''YES!'' Suhaani shrieked. Nupur sighed and closed her eyes. She saw Mayank appearing shirtless with his muscular, handsome body. She quickly opened her eyes, shocked about what she was thinking. ''To?'' She heard Suhaani ask. ''None.'' Nupur replied. Suhaani sighed, ''I Think either Mayank or Adhiraj.'' Suhaani spoke dreamingly. Nupur simply rolled her eyes again. ''Adhiraj is a ASS!'' Nupur exclaimed. ''I'm an ass?'' Adhiraj spoke from behind them walking towards their table with Mayank. Nupur rolled her eyes at the sight for Adhiraj but smiled at Mayank. Mayank too smiled back but returned to his not-in-the-mood-self and looked away. Nupur noticed this and became worried. ''Yes you are an ass.'' Nupur told Adhiraj. ''Why?'' Adhiraj spoke again coming closer to Nupur. Nupur felt his body brush against her and quickly moved away. ''Stay away you perverted ass!'' Nupur replied shocking Adhiraj, and Mayank. ''Adhi dude, leave her.'' Mayank advised Adhiraj. ''W*f Mayank? No way! She called me an ass! How dare she?'' Adhiraj replied and walked closer to Nupur, who got scared. Suhaani who had tried to push Adhiraj away got pushed herself. Mayank got fed up and pulled Adhiraj back. ''I said leave her alone.'' He gritted through his teeth. However Adhiraj ignored him and pulled Nupur's arm this time. Mayank got furious seeing this and punched Adhiraj. Nupur and Suhaani realized this will lead to a bigger fight immediately got up to stop them. ''Mayank, okay that's enough, let's go from here.'' Nupur replied scared, dragging him away. She took him outside of school to a park nearby and sat down. Neither of them spoke until Mayank broke the silence. ''I'm sorry.'' Nupur looked up. ''No Mayank, I told you it's fine. Quit apologising.'' ''No but-'' Mayank tried to reply but Nupur cut him off. ''Mayank, I understand you have personal problems. I don't want to know them, I just want to know if you're going to be okay?'' Mayank was touched by Nupur's words, no one had ever spoken to him like that, and especially not someone he just met and became friends with. He pulled Nupur into a hug and buried his face on her right shoulder. She was surprised by his gesture but went along with it feeling sorry for him. She felt her shoulder start to get wet and realized Mayank was crying. She pulled away and looked at him. ''Don't cry. Please'everything will be okay. Time will heal everything.'' Nupur said wiping his tears away. ''Nupur I trust you and I want to tell you everything.'' Nupur nodded for him to continue. ''When I was young, My mother and father always used to have arguments. They didn't care about their children. And continued to fight. My dad slapped my mother once and she left home and never returned ever since. He re-married and had a child, who was killed by a car accident. His new wife is now my step mother, and she is the principal of this school. But the thing is even they argue. Continuously not caring about me or my brother or anyone. Now'they are planning to divorce. I know I am not a child, but I have always solved my parents and always will and I don't want to see them separate even if my mother is not my real mother. I just one once, I don't want to lose another.'' Nupur squeezed his hand, understanding his pain. ''Mayank, look at me.'' She tilted his face towards herself. She had never done this before and was shocked how she was even consoling a guy, never did she think she would become friends with a guy or console one. ''I understand how you are feeling. I know you don't want to lose your mother, but think of it this way. If they divorce they will stop fighting. It might even make them realise how much they love each other. It might make them realise how much pain their children are facing. But it will be for the best. They love you Mayank, even if they show they don't.'' Nupur completed. Mayank realized what she was saying was actually true. Samrat did not say this but he said, everything happens for a reason. Mayank doesn't know why but he feels whatever Nupur says, it compels him to believe it. Mayank smiled and instead of saying thank you he leaned in and kissed her cheek. Nupur blushed crimson red and looked down. ''Let's head back.'' Nupur spoke up. ''Yeah''' Mayank replied gazing at Nupur who kept looking anywhere but at him.
''Thanks Nupur! You're the best!'' He leaned in and kissed her cheek again before running off. She blushed crimson red. ''OH MY GOD!'' Suhaani screamed witnessing the scene in front of her! ''Tum'Aur'Mayank?'' Suhaani asked excitedly. Nupur frowned, why was she getting wrong ideas? It was just a friendly kiss. ''Don't get stupid ideas. It was just a friendly kiss.'' Suhaani however ignored her comment. ''Guess what?! Adhi and I kissed!'' Suhaani shrieked in happiness. Nupur was completed shocked. ''KYA?!'' Suhaani was aware of her reaction. ''No Nupur, you don't understand, when I am near him I feel some strange attraction. He also feels the same and has apologized for what he has done to you. He is really cute and sweet. And he kissed me.'' Suhaani sighs dreamingly. ''Tum pagal ho kya? He is a bloody flirt aur wo tumhe use kara hai!'' Nupur spoke ashamed of her friend's deed. ''Bas karo Nupur!'' Suhaani replied hurt by Nupur's words. ''I said what I said, as your friend. Rest is up to you.'' Nupur replied angrily and walked off.
''Dia, ha meine bhi
suna, but when I called Nupur, she said ki wo baad mein batagi.'' Gunjan spoke
to dia over the phone while laying down in her bed sick. ''Lekin, mujhe lagta
hai ki yeh sab Nupur ki galti hai.'' Dia exclaimed laying down on her bed sick.
Suhaani called her and Gunjan and told them the story. ''Kya? Nupur ki galti?
No way! Nupur aisa kabhi nahi karsakti, I am sure ki wo Suhaani ya phir Adhiraj
ki ko galti. Nupur aur galti kabhi nahi!'' Gunjan defended her best friend like
sister. ''Gunjan tum hamesha Nupur ki side leti ho. Kabhi to saach face karo!''
Dia replied irritated. ''Bas karo Dia, Mein hamesha Nupur ki side lehti ho
kyunki Nupur hamesha saach bolti hai. Tum aur Suhaani hamesha Nupur mein galti
doonti ho lekin aand mein kya mila? Nupur ke simplicity and truthfulness. Jalan
ho rahe hai? Kyun nahi, Nupur kitni perfect hai!.'' Gunjan defended her best
friend again and cut the phone irritated with Dia's behaviour. Gunjan called
Nupur immediately, ''Nupur tum theek ho na?'' Gunjan asked in a worried tone.
Nupur smiled at Gunjan's concern. ''Mein bilkul theek ho! Aur tum? Khaana kaya?
Dabay kaya? Tum abhi tak-'' Gunjan cut Nupur of before she starts her
investigation of how 'Gunjan is doing.' ''Bas Nupur, meine sab kuch kiya. By
the way, mein us Adhiraj aur Suhaani ki bachi ko choori gi nahi.'' Gunjan
complained. ''Nahi Gunjan, Adhiraj ne maar kaya, aur Suhaani ko bhool jao, wo
kuch nahi kar sakti hai.'' Nupur told her smiling at how Mayank beat up
Adhiraj. ''Adhiraj ne maar kaya? Wow? Kaise? Kisne? Nupur Batao!'' Gunjan
screamed excited as Nupur giggled. ''Wo, Mayank meri dost usne maara.'' Nupur
replied with a huge smile on her face. ''OYE HOYE'' Gunjan screamed! Nupur
blocked her ears. ''Okay I have to go, baad mein baat karti ho.'' Nupur replied
and cut the phone before Gunjan starts the teasing.
