Chapter 111

                   Part – 111

At Mumbai….

Pari: so it’s Geet?

Pari couldn’t hide her anxiety…

She would have never thought of something like that even in her wildest dreams…

Geet hai Maan ki mystery girl…

At least Maan told her about his love and even that he has found her back…

But this Geet, usne toh kuch bhi nahi bathaya, not even a small hint….

Geet was even trying to set up Pari with Maan, haina?

How dare she? What she even thought about Pari?

Pari would never want to be the other woman… haina?

Pari wishes to give her heart to someone who would love her wholeheartedly like Karan…

Not someone who has lost his heart and has nothing left to give her…

Pari: Geet bahut badi chupa rustum nikli

Dev: what?

Pari: I mean, Geet, the mystery lover from Maan’s past? I just can’t believe it still, is it really true?

Dev: yes it is

Pari: no wonder why Maan remained single all these years, Geet hai hi aaisi, ek bar usse mille toh hum uss se kabhi bhool nahi sakte, hummare liye hi ye namunkeen hai toh, bechare Maan Geet ka pyaar tha, how could he forget her?

Dev: that’s true

Pari forget about Dev’s love for Geet…

Pari: I mean they were together na?

Pari indirectly reminds Dev that Dev and Geet were never together, it was always one sided love from just Dev’s side

Dev: I understand, Geet was in love with Maan only though they were separated, I now understand that love is unpredictable, I thought Geet hated Maan after all that happened, she just needed some time to start again, I was wrong, she never hated him, she was mad at him because she was missing him terribly

Pari: distance doesn’t kill ones desire, it just makes it grow stronger and bigger

Dev: maybe

Pari: what are you going to do?

Dev: I think I know what to do

Pari: that’s good

Dev shrugs his shoulder and continues….

Dev: there is just the unfortunate event of your love being one sided but that doesn’t mean that your love failed, love never fails, once it happens it is always there with you, it never fails you, some are lucky enough at the first attempt but some like us might have to try again

Pari can easily connect to that feeling….

Pari: you are so right man

Dev: you might not be lucky in your next attempt too, but that doesn’t mean you give up, there is always a next time, haina? You should always take gajini as an example

Dev hints at Pari’s failed attempts…

Dev: I have made just one, and it’s two for you, lets see if the second and third time is lucky for us

Dev winks and Pari also feels that he may be right…..

Dev has accepted the truth, neither does he regret his past nor does he carries it to his future, Dev has learnt that he is not the one for Geet…..

Dev forgets everything and is back to his form….

Dev: I have just realised something

Pari: what?

Dev: I already have a lot of options

Pari thinks that he is talking about her and feels shy…

Dev: you know one of them

Pari is getting ready to be surprised…

Pari: who is that?

Pari asks with an innocent face…

Dev: Laura

Pari: kaun Laura?

Dev: how can you forget Laura? The British girl we met in the plane, she has given me her number, she said she is going to stay in Mumbai for another week, and it looks like she might have to stay longer, lucky me

Pari: are you kidding?

Dev takes his mobile and pretends to search her number…

Pari stops him by snatching his mobile….

Dev: what are you doing?

Pari: you are not going to call her, just forget about it

Dev: but why?

Pari pauses and thinks about what to say…

Dev: what’s wrong Pari?

Dev looks into her eyes…

Pari doesn’ want to look desperate..

She looks away …

Pari: she is not your types

Dev: you seem to be knowing me better than I myself do

Pari: I’m trying to know more about you

Dev: why?

Pari remains silent and Dev can understand her silence, sometimes silence conveys a message better than words… haina?

Dev is pulling the legs of Pari and she is also enjoying it….

Pari wishes that she could also be like Dev, living the present moment forgetting the worries of the past…..
