Chapter 15

 

2Yrs have passed, Geet has completed her masters and as promised was returning back. She was not being able to hold her excitement as she waited on Bangalore airport. She was continuously rubbing her hands, changing her seat, drinking water and what not. She has been in touch with everyone in this 2yrs except him, smile crept on her face and she placed her palm on her face to calm herself down as she thought of him. Her heart beat raised just by mere thought of him.

 

Maan who was once always by her side, roaming around her, whom she sometime didn't even care to look at while he would keep blabbering, today she was so excited and nervous just by mere thought of him. She again gulped the whole bottle of water to get hold of her nerves.

 

Geet had been very confident when she had first started her collage. But just one week had passed and she had started missing him so badly. How many times her hand itched to make just one call to him, just one but then with heavy heart she had controlled.

 

Geet had found her best escape in her studies. Here most of the students were serious once, who had real interest in subject and were not just for passing time. Exactly how she would have liked. But everything looked so bland, after all she was in habit of spicy surrounding due to him.

 

She loved to be simple but the color and noise that he brought in her life, compensated for her simple lifestyle but here everyone was like her. Was this not what she had wanted, to be around people like this.

 

Its not that she didn't make friends here but all would stay just formal. None could be anywhere near him. Girls did their masti too sometimes and would do some outing too but still she started missing his coming suddenly from back, kissing on her cheek, lying on her lap, blabbering anything which made no sense.

 

She also made friendship with boys, most were very sincere with their career and most topic would go on that. Some were very intellectual, calm, composed persons. No nonsense talks, exactly how she would like her company to be. But then they just were kept limited to formal peers. Many even liked her, and tried to convey there feelings for her, but Geet felt nothing.

 

Some boys were full of life too, along with being sincere in their career. Geet made better friendship with them. She needed some carefree souls to make her breath without him. But still their masti only reminded her of him and she would miss him badly.

 

She kept trying to be strong for 3 months but at last she had to accept to herself that her existence was nothing without him. She realized how her existence has been blended by his personality. Both their characters were as if blended together to make one unique character, but it only had life if they were together.

 

4 months passed and she was fully convinced that they were one soul from God knows when.

 

Every day her hand itched to give him one call and tell him her feeling but then as promised she also have to give him the time. She can't be so selfish to not let him see clearly what his heart wants. Then she argued with herself too that its not even been 6 months and maybe she is feeling nostalgic and her decision about may be due to this sudden separation. She thus decided to clearly give them both time of this two year.

 

But as days passed by her feeling for him became stronger and stronger. Geet dipped her in her studies, and involved with friends who would help her divert herself.

 

As she boarded the flight, her imagination went on flying but there was a big fear

 

"Did he find someone for him.nahi nahi' per kyun nahi, with the way flirty he is any girl can try to impress him." This was her biggest fear.

 

"But Maan said he was sure about his love for me. Is it chance that he found someone his type perfect for him" so many questions going in her mind

 

"Whatever it is, I will tell him my feelings, then let him decide. Anyways now decision between us will be his only, in case he have found none. Shart jo har gayee main." But she was happy to lose the bet.

 

"Airport pe when he comes to receive me, from there itself I will take him somewhere and convey my feeling, I can't hold it anymore."

 

Flight landed on Delhi airport and one can say she was most excited and nervous person to land. Her hands and feet were going cold out of excitement to see him in just few minutes outside the airport. How badly she was dying to hug him tight.

 

As Geet came out with luggage and her eyes looking for him but Vicky came in front of her. He was so excited to see her

 

"Hi Geet" but it was first time in life that Geet felt disappointed seeing Vicky before Maan. Geet's eyes were still looking for him. Geet was like elder sister to Vicky but still as his bro has taught him, not to make any girl ur sister, not even Geet he followed it religiously and called Geet, Geet.

 

"Geet give me a hug, Dekho kitna bada ho gaya main." Geet slapped her self mentally to be in control, she gave slight hug to Vicky all lost why Maan was not in sight.

 

"Chalen" "Arre let Maan come, he must be busy flirting somewhere"

 

"No, Bro couldn't come" Geet felt big pang on her heart, how can it be that after 2 yrs Maan will not come to receive her.

 

Keeping hold of her heart "Now you two stop teasing me, I am not in that mood. It is not possible Maan will not come to receive me, I know him little two well."

 

"Actually dad asked him to come to airport but Bro you know have fully joined office recently only and he is held up with so many works and then Bro suggested that I should come."

 

Geet felt her heart slipping away, she looked here and there to hide the tears that were welling up to flow any moment.

 

"I-I- I am coming from washroom" and Geet rushed to washroom. She sat down holding her heart "Maan didn't come to pick me, after 2 yrs he didn't even feel like seeing me"

 

It was all her fault she knew, but how could her Maan, who left anything in world to do things for her did not come to see her in airport because of his office.

 

She washed her face to clear her mind "May be something is really important, hain na. And Maan is so responsible now, main hee tou chatee thi ye" but her heart did not agree with any of her words.

 

On their way back home, Geet was getting restless "Vicky were are you taking me" "Offcourse Handa haveli, whole family other than bro is waiting for you there"

 

Geet didn't care, yes she wanted to meet her family and uncle aunty, Dadima, Darji but she had talked several times with them. Meeting Maan was more important.

 

"Drop me to office; I want to meet Maan first."

 

Vicky did as she asked and left for home to inform everyone.
