Nupur wondered when she fell in love with Mayank? She couldn't quite place her finger on any event or incident in particular, he was wonderful as Varun (the character in the play!), it was the most romantic avatar she had ever seen Mayank in, she had hoped that it was Mayank not Varun speaking most of those lines. It was kind of lame to admit it, but she did probably have some feelings then, but she dint know, not really, she was just so caught up in her world, in her friendship with Mayank. She dint really think too much. She went with the flow.
Well, now that she thought about it what did she expect? She had fallen into his arms the very first day she met him. It was like the fairytales she believed in, except here her sapnon ka Rajkumar dint love her. What a shame! They would've made a great pair. They had won the best Jodi award twice. Once for the salsa , once after the play. Oh yeah, they had won the academic meet too 'together! She had somewhere in her heart harboured some hopes that the play would be where Mayank would confess to her as well. It was a bit juvenile to think that way after all it was a college play, you can't really go about declaring your love for the world to hear, you might even get suspended you know! Well not likely if it was Mayank she thought silently shaking with laughter.
Then she saw her sister walking towards her, from the looks of it, she was about to witness another bout of crying from her little sister. She had to find and kill that Samrat. Now really, how much of a wood head can he be? Can't he see her precious sister whom she had protected all her life- until he unceremoniously walked in- loves him?
Now don't mistake me, I do like Samrat, he is a nice bloke and all but he just doesn't see, you get what I mean. He just doesn't see how much my sister loves him, worse still, how much he loves my sister. Dakkan.
I calmed her down as she cried her heart out, my heart going out to my little sister.
Atleast he is over those Sheena type girls, Samrat- I mean, to think she was his girlfriend once. She even had a fake tattoo of his name. Can you believe that? She even tried to charm Mayank *snorts* as if! Mayank dint pay her any attention. I mean he was polite to her, but then that's it, nothing more. That's like my guy! Only mine! No girl other than me in his life, he had said and meant it. (I hope he means it even now!). No other guy in my life either. Actually I'm not sad about that. When Shahrukh says there is someone somewhere made for you. I believe that, after all he is Shahrukh Khan! He also said if you truly love something, the whole universe will conspire to get it for you. So basically I trust SRK and that means I 'll just wait for Mayank, because he is the one made for me. It sounds so perfect Mayank and Nupur. It has a beautiful feel to it. I know I know, I'm filmy and Mayank always pulled my leg about it. He thought I was too filmy. I suppose he was right. That's nothing new, he is always right, Mayank Sharma. *goes back to day dreaming about my Mr Right*
Yes Maa, Mayank said on the phone. It was his mother's call asking him to reach home early. She said it rather dramatically, with SRK dialogues no less! His maa was so filmy. Well that reminded him yet again of another filmy person he knew. Nupur was filmier than maa.
He had wanted to propose to Nupur in a rather filmy manner actually, he had fallen for his best friend over the study sessions they had spent together post their eventful academic meet trip. He found her endearing then, slowly he had discovered various aspects of Nupur Bhushan and he realized he liked each aspect more than the other. He had a feeling he was falling for her by the end of the trip, but had tried to remain sane atleast until he reached back home. Back home, he nearly told her everything in a holi bash where he had gotten drunk (it was only Bhang duh!), she had even brought him home, the complete sweetheart that she is. That brat Samrat still ribs me about something I mentioned in my drunken stupor about going home with Nupur only. Obviously I was wiser drunk I suppose.
Anyways I had decided to spend some good time with Nupur, as friends, post that in the hope that I'd forget my stupid feelings. As I spent time with her studying (Which she dint do much of, but she looked awfully cute, pulling her hair out or dozing off) and later practicing for the play I just was too involved with her as her friend to think of anything else. Even then I tried to get her to acknowledge her feelings for me! Stupid idea really. I did mention I was a little over-confident, bordering on cocky? Well, at a point I realized, I was acting like a complete moron and stopped. Thank god! I woud've made a fool of myself otherwise, proposing in between the play and Nupur assuming its just Varun and Isha and me pulling my hair out. So good sense prevailed and our play went on without a hitch.
Though he sometimes wondered, what would've been the case if he had indeed proposed to Nupur in the play? Would she have accepted? Rejected? Latter he supposed, after all he was nothing like her idea of her sapnon ka Rajkumar. Though this thought really upset him. He was however glad he still had Nupur as his best friend, atleast that hadn't changed.
After the play we ended up getting closer, we spent all our time together, I even got friendly with her set of friends. Otherwise I only talked to CJ other than Nupur. Now I had this quasi gang, though not technically my gang, they were Nupur's friends so by default mine. It made her happy when I tolerated her friends and her happiness was all I cared about. Though I must admit, I did start caring about the gang after a point. Samrat even became a good friend. Who would've thought!
That jerk RV trying to mess with Dia, Nupur's cousin Dia! That good for nothing girlfriend of Samrat's Sheeena (As Nupur not so lovingly called her) trying to accuse Nupur's simple sister Gunjan of some nonsense . What a mess that was, of which I became a part only because Nupur insisted I join them in Samrat's farm house for some get-together or something. I went for Nupur and I was glad I could help Nupur sort the mess her near ones had gotten into. RV and Sheena were sent packing while Nupur and I (ok, Nupur mostly) went about sorting issues and reassuring people, while I just backed Nupur. Samrat hadn't realized he liked Gunjan , still hasn't according to Nupur's latest updates. What a dolt.
