Chapter 24

Love You Foreverrrrrr………Part 23

RECAP:Seher, Geeta, Pratham and Prashant Sir's combined efforts led Raj out of the Jail. The Singhanias planted an unsuccessful blast to kill Raj which is comprehended by Geeta as a trap for her by Aryan.

"What??? Blast in my car??? Oh my god!!! I'm coming inspector." Said Geeta as she kept down the receiver in haste.

"That means there was a bomb in my car??? Who would want to kill me???" A chill ran down her spine and Geeta lied down on her bed closing her eyes. She couldn't believe that she could have been dead a few moments ago. Just then she sat up in horror.

"It's Aryan!! He's back!! No……………NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

She quickly tried to call-up a number but in vain, "Damn it!!! What should I do now?" Tears rolled down her eyes out of fear.

 

There, Raj also could not sleep. He was worried, for his friend; tensed, for his family's safety; angry, at Singhanias and frustrated, with his life!! Geeta's feelings were not hidden from him. Those expressions of hers at the police-station showed no sign of leaving Raj's thoughts. He decided to give her a call as his gut-feeling said she must be awake. Geeta was so damn scared that she was ignorant of her cell ringing. Raj thought she is deliberately not taking-up his call and decided to go to her house right now!!!!

 

Geeta was sitting near the window. It was raining heavily. She even forgot she had to report to the police station. She was totally engrossed into her past thoughts…………………………

FLASHBACK:

"Aryan please!!! Please leave me alone……I hate you from the bottom of my heart!!! Just go away from my life………I don't want you to be around." Shouted Geeta as she was sliding away from him.

"Why are you sweating darling!! I love you that's it!!!" Grinned Aryan.

"That's not it!!! Leave me alone!!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" Aryan cried as Geeta hit him with a flower-vase and ran away.

 END OF THE FLASHBACK

Just then there was a knock at the door. Geeta wiped her tears and as she opened the door, she was shocked to see Raj there at this time of the night.

"Did I disturb you?" Asked Raj.

"Please go from here!!!" Said Geeta as she turned away.

"You cannot hide your emotions for life-long. Come on Geeta face it!!"

"I'm not hiding anything!! Please go from here!!!"

"Why are you so scared Geeta? What has happened?"

"Why do you need to know about my life………please go from here Raj."

"I need to talk to you!!"

"But I don't……Raj please………"

Just then, thunder struck and Geeta went foreward and hugged Raj. "He'll kill me Raj, he'll kill me…………You please go from here Raj. If at all…………he……he……… got to know that I love you, he'll kill you also Raj………………he'll kill you. He is insane, he can do anything!!! Please go from here Raj!!! GOOOOO!!!" She started crying.

Raj pulled her away and stepped back to return. Geeta kept looking at him and he too didn't know what to say. The truth both of them were avoiding till now stood facing them that Geeta loved him.

"Geeta!!! I don't know who has scared you to hell. I'll be there for you whenever you need my help. And whenever you feel like sharing something, you can always count on me. But…………" Raj didn't know what to say further.

"Did I ever say anything to you?" Asked Geeta. "Did I ever demand anything out of our friendship?" She continued.

"No. BUT………"

Before he could complete, Geeta interrupted, "If no, then what made you think of this BUT Raj?"

There was complete silence for a few moments except for the thunder storm prevailing outside and inside their minds.

"I think I should leave now!!"

"I'm resigning from my job tomorrow!!"

"What?" Raj returned in utter amazement.

"Yes!! I'm resigning because I'll no longer be staying in this city."

"But why are you going Geeta??"

"Some WHYs are better unanswered Raj!! Though this one has already been served to you, still, just let it be!!"

"We can let this be but you cannot let you life be like that!! I advice you, AS A FRIEND!!"

It hurt her a lot, still she replied, "But Raj!! I have to let my love be!! And you only told me once that LOVE IS LIFE" Saying this, she looked back at him for an answer.

"I just wanna say, don't go!!! Face life, whatever may it serve………rest is up to you. Do whatever your heart says."

Saying this Raj left.

 

As he reached home, he found that Seher was awake. As he entered his room…………

"Raj!! Oh god!!! You still behave like a small kid!! You are soaking all through, come on in fast, I'll wipe it up." Seher dragged him in and started wiping his head.

Raj was amazed that he was coming back at this time of the night (it was almost 3 'o' Clock) and neither Seher's eyes, nor her words questioned him.

"Raj!! Where are you lost? Wanna have a hot cup of coffee?" Seher asked.

"I thought you'd ask something else!"

"What did you expect?"

"Seher I went to meet…………"

"Whoso ever Raj!!! I care a damn!!! What I care about is that you're totally wet and my sweet 'n' cute hubby is very prone to cold!!" She went foreward and fetched another night-suit for him. "Go and change fast!!"

Raj could not help but smile at her innocence. He just got up and hugged her.

"Raaaaaaaaajjjjjjjj!!! Leave me!!! You'll make me drip too!!!" Shouted Seher.

"So what??? Don't you remember those rains when we used to enjoy a lot together??"

"How can I forget?? But immediately after that, I had to keep the medicines ready for your service!!"

"But that ultimately led us spending our time together naa!!"

"Oh yes!!! Accompanied by Mr. Raj Malhotra's unstoppable sneezes!!!"

Both of them laughed loudly.

"Raj!!! Stop it!! Go and change first!!!"

Raj indicated her to come at the terrace with him.

"Raaaaajjjj!! No means no!!!! Got it?"

"No I didn't get it Seher. (Coming closer to her) But one thing is for sure!!"

"What?" Said Seher smiling naughtily.

"That I'm gonna get you!!!" Raj ran after her and Seher ran out. Raj caught hold of her, picked her in his arms and as Seher was about to scream………

"Ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Said Raj as he placed his finger on her lips. "Saira and daadi will wake-up!!!"

"Mr. Malhotra get me down!!!!"

"I'm sorry Mrs. Malhotra I can't!!" Said Raj with utter naughtiness. He stepped foreward and took her to the terrace!!!

Seher was very happy as it seemed as her old days of romance have come back, and with Raj around, she always felt more comfortable and secured.

"So, how does it feel Seher?"

"Do I need to say it in words?"

"Na darling!!! Just say it!!"

She just hugged him. That particular second, leaving everything behind, both were the happiest souls, finding comfort in each other's arms, not worried about the past or future, just enjoying the present!!!

It was just a moment after that Seher found Raj on his knees.

"Would you like to re-live all those magical moments?"

"I'd love to!!!" Saying this, she gave out her hand to Raj and they danced.

Coming closer, stretching outwards, rejuvenating the freshness of the first dew drops with the same kind of innocence, same kind of magic and similar aura. Seher forgot all her worries and Raj too got ignorant of all the parallel worlds flowing though. All he knew at this moment was falling raindrops, his love Seher and all the romance that was there!!!!

 

Cut to morning………………

"Aaaaacccchhhhoooooooooo!!!! Aaaaacccchhhooooooooo!!!!"

Raj was constantly sneezing.

"I told you it's gonna be difficult!!! But you don't have to listen to me!!!"

"And you always have to scold me naa!! Aaaaaacchhhooo!!!! I was trying to………… Aaaaaacchhhooo!!!!"

"Uff!! Just lie down!!!"

"I'm not……… Aaaaaacchhhooo………talking to……… Aaaaaacchhhooo………you……… Aaaaaacchhhooo!!!!"

Seher started laughing, "But I still love you!!!" And she kissed him.

 

PRECAP: "So you're still alive??" "You may not like it though!! But I need to give you this amazing news!!" "Out with it fast!!" "You know what, Saira, my daughter, will soon have a company!!" Raj smiled and Yash's expressions changed!!!
