Nupur smiled and replied back:

Gunjan smiled and replied:
Fine, but you better come tomorrow.
Nupur smiled and replied back one last time:
Pakka promise.
She finally got on the bus and made her way to the orphanage. She had been coming here every sunday since she was in year 7, which means she was around 12 years old. She loved working with children, she loved to see that beautiful smile on each of their face, it reminded her of herself when she was young. She never told anyone here she would go and if anyone asked, she'd make up a lie. She was the type of girl that if she did something for anyone she'd prefer them to not know, even if they hate her..
She finally arrived at the Orphanage and walked in to be greeted by a swarm of chidlren,''Di, aap aa gayi!'' A small girl screamed in happiness which was clearly evident on her face. Nupur leaned down and kissed her cheek,''Ha aap ki Di aagayi aur hum aab bohot masti karegi. Chal let's go to the playground.'' All the children screamed in happiness and started running towards the playground while all the workers and councilors smiled at her and greeted her. ''Nupur, aaj ek naya larka yaha kaam kara hai.'' A old lady in her mid 50's spoke.''Thanks for letting me know aunty-ji.'' Nupur replied as she hugged her walked towards the playground. She found herself playing games with the children, smiling and laughing like she was a child herself.
''Aunty-ji, thank you for this job, it really means alot to me.'' Mayank said as he hugged the lady. ''Koi baat nahi beta, jaao bacho playground par hai.'' She smiled watching Mayank nod and walk away. Mayank made his way to the playground, and found himself smiling to the sight infront of him.''She also works here, i didn't know.'' He whispered to himself. He started loosing himself in her childlike expressions and innocence. Nupur suddenly was alarmed bysomeone watching her. She stopped and turned around to see Mayank staring at her. She smiled and made her away towards him.''So Sharma, couldn't get enough of me in school, you've started to stalk me'' She teased. Mayank smiled,''No Bhushan, I work here from today.'' He smirked and made his way towards the children leaving her shocked. ''Idiot.'' She mumbled. ''Mein mazak kaar rahi ti aur yeah bohot smart samajta hai apni aapko.'' She muttered underneath her breath. ''Smart samajta ho nahi, ho mein.'' He smirked making her more irritated. ''Shut up.'' She snapped at him and walked towards the other side, to play with the children. ''By the way Nupur when you smile, you look very cute.'' He whispered in her ear walking away. Nupur smiled as he walked up to him and whispered,''But you look even more cute when you have your childlike expressions on.'' She replied running away playing with the children. He smiled,''Gosh she's amazing.''
Mayank and Nupur spent they whole day playing with children and whispering to eachother. They enjoyed the time together. Mayank felt himself getting more closer and attached to Nupur, whereas Nupur had no idea about these new feeling she was feeling for Mayank. It was the first time she felt them, but one part of her new about these feelings but the other part of her, wanted to ignore them...
Next day...
''Jo naam dil pe ho lika, iqraar use se hota hai..'' Nupur hummed to herself smiling. Gunjan smiled seeing Nupur like this and walked up behind her,''Kasi kaho yeh mein o yaara pyaar kaise hota hai.'' Gunjan hummed with her. Nupur was startled by Gunjan's voice and turned around. ''Gunjan! You scared me.'' Nupur sighed. ''To Nupur, iqraar kisi se hota hai? Kisi?'' Gunjan replied ignoring her comment. ''Kya bakwaas kar rahi ho. Mein to bas ghana gaa rahi ti.'' She replied walking out of her house. ''Mayank se.'' Gunjan replied shocking Nupur. ''Kya? Iqraar? Hell no!'' Nupur replied. ''Okay, maybe not love but you do LIKE Mayank MORE than a friend.'' Gunjan emphasized the word 'more'. ''Shut up, what rubbish are you speaking?'' Nupur asked her. ''Nupur baas karo. If you like someone then nothing is wrong with that!'' Gunjan sighed irritated. ''I don't like anyone, and if i do, then i can realize my feelings. I don't need anyone to tell me that.'' Nupur snapped. ''Nupur aapna natunki kisi aur ko dekho, mujhe nahi, samji?'' Gunjan snapped back. Nupur however was hurt by her comment, she didn't like Mayank more than a friend, she knew it but why is Gunjan forcing her to say something which is false? Nupur walked away leaving Gunjan shocked by her behaviour. ''Nupur ne wapas kuch nahi kaha?'' Gunjan asked herself suprised and worried. ''Nupur, wait up!'' Nupur stopped and turned around. ''Sorry for snapping at you Gunjan, but try understand that i really do not like Mayank more than a friend.'' Nupur replied and turned to walk away again...
''Nupur Bhushan.'' Mrs Sharma spoke. ''To Mayank use pyaar karta hai, aur is liye mujhe itna kuch sunaya. Milna to parega is larki se.'' Mrs Sharma spoke to herself determined to meet her.
Adhiraj spoke,''I'm sorry Suhaani. I've hurt you and everyone. I didn't know what got in to me but i do want to tell you that i used you and i'm very sorry. I don't like or love you more than a friend. Forgive me if possible.'' He felt guilty for everything he had done. Suhaani burst into tears crying uncontrolably. ''Adhiraj i-i h-hate y-you.'' Suhaani spoke between her sobs. Adhiraj felt helpless seeing her in that state but decided it was best to walk away...
''Tum theek ho?'' Samrat asked Gunjan who looked lost. ''Ha, i'm just worried about Nupur.'' Gunjan replied not looking at Samrat. Samrat didn't know why, but he just hugged her. He felt like this was the way to comfort her. He felt a different feeling why hugging her.
''Nupur, i-i like you.'' Mayank spoke to himself looking in the mirror in the men's bathroom. ''Nahi inta nervous? She'll think i am mad.'' He spoke to himself again, and kept practicing his lines.
Here Mayank was practising his lines, there Nupur was thinking about her feelings. She hadd realized she didn't like Mayank more than a friend. Mayank beleived that he liked her and she liked him. When he confesses, what will happen? Will their journey continue or end? Find out soon!
