Chapter 8the day passed by slowly, we had lunch.. Amit went to work then came back, him and mom sat and watched TV, i was just distracting myself by cleaning around the house.. i didnt want to go to my room cause if i did i know i'd be talking to Maan, which is a big no no while mom is awake. Amit didnt ask about what happened, cause mom was with him the whole time, i dont know what he did to make her glue herself to him like that. what made me really worried was Ela, i called her several times but she wasnt picking up, i wanted to go over to her house but if she was with Javed, she would tell her parents that she is with me.. so i didnt risk that. at 10 pm, my eyes were closing, literally closing, i felt like fainting
"
ok, mom.. Amit, im off to bed" i got up, they were watching a movie and didnt pay attention to me "
good night"
"
haan night" mom said looking at the TV
i sighed, went to my room.. put on my pjs and lied down on my bed, i looked at my mobile, its 10 pm.. i could talk to Maan for an hour.. i bit my lip, how did i have this energy to stay up for one hour? i was about to die in the living room.. now i want to hear his voice, i didnt have an explaintion so i grabbed my mobile and dialed his number "
Geet?" it didnt even ring for once!
"
hey" i smiled as i heard his warm voice
"
hey.. i wanted to call but, thought you'd be busy.."
"
i was.. and i wouldnt pick it up if you called"
"
oh, parents reservation?"
i giggled "
you can say that.." he was silent for a while "
i only can talk for one hour" i didnt want him to stay silent all the time, its my mobile that i set on silent not him!
"
alright, wait then" i heard him move, then he sighed "
i dont sleep this early but i guess i will have to"
how did he know im about to sleep? "
you dont have to sleep"
"
i want to" he giggled "
how was your day?"
"
busy" i sighed, didn't want to inform him how BORING it was that i was keeping myself busy "
yours?"
"
busy as well, had to take ma shopping" he made the "ew" sound
i giggled "
i love shopping"
"
i do.. now"
"
Maan" i blushed
"
sorry" i know he is having this big smile on his face "
it was for my sister's wedding.."
"
oh, how many siblings you have?"
"
sirf ek, thank God" he giggled "
but i guess i wont say that when she is gone to her husband's house"
he sounded sad "
she will be happy"
"
haan.. she loves him so, im sure she will be" he sounded indifferent
i looked down "
arent you married?" STUPID GEET!
"
ye, my wife is sleeping right next to me" i blushed as he laughed "
seriously Geet"
"
i realized it was stupid after i said it"
"
how can i talk to you if im married?"
"
well, some men.. cheat on their wives.. all the time"
"
some men, not me" i smiled "
i dont like the idea of cheating.. even if the wife is not what he wants.. he cant cheat"
i dont know why i felt that he is talking about someone he knows, it was all in his voice.. the pain, the hurt of someone he knows.. i hated that tone of voice, it made me sad.. made me want to go right now and hug him "
Maan" i whispered
"
ji.." he whispered
"
you are a good man, your wife will be lucky to have you" i blushed after i said that
he was quiet "
will you?" he whispered, my heart started beating fast and i forgot how to breath "
i mean.. will she?"
"
belkul.." i inhaled heavily "
she will" i said smiling
"
let me call you.."
"
kyon?"
"
hang up, i'll call you"
"
ok" i hang up, just few seconds later he called and made the whole bed vibrate "
that was fast" i smiled
"
im superman" he giggled as i did too, then.. we both were silent.. my eyes were closing.. listening to his smoothing breath made me all calm and ready to sleep "
Geet" he whispered
not even that made me open my eyes "
ji.." i almost said it
"
can i say something off friendship limit?"
"
ok.."
pause "
i want to sleep listening to you.." i blushed, still not opening my eyes "
i love you" he whispered so warmly i started sweating "
even if you dont say anything.. i will just hear your heart beat, and soon.. sleep" i couldnt say anything, he probably WAS listening to my heart beat cause it was coming out of my chest, my breath.. i tried to control it but failed "
back to friendship?" he asked smugly
"
please"
he giggled "
good night Geet"
"
good night"
i opened my eyes the next morning, the phone still on my ear.. i didnt want to say anything afraid i'd wake Maan up cause i could still hear him breathing, cant believe he didnt hang up all night. i put the phone down on the pillow then stretched my arms, yawned then looked at my mobile and smiled.. as if he is here.. i blushed not wanting to think more about not-so-friendly stuff. i looked at clock and sighed "
too early" i whispered, it was just 6 am.. just like yesterday..
i picked my mobile and put it next to my ear when i heard Maan whispering "
Geet.."
i bit my lip "
good morning" i said softly
"
hey" he sounded sleepy "
what time is it?"
"
6.."
"
too early"
"
i know" i smiled "
go back to sleep.. i'll go fresh up"
"
noo.. im waking up too, lets go to Umid"
"
abhi?"
"
um.. it opens at 8" he sighed "
well.. ok.." he sounded like he didnt want to hang up now
i giggled "
ok kya?"
"
wake me up at 8"
"
teek hai" i smiled "
good night ji"
he giggled "
good night"
i hang up and jumped off the bed, ran towards the door.. opened it to see Amit standing in front of my bedroom.. my heart was coming out of my throat "
Amit"
he smiled at me "
good morning" he doesnt sound like its a going to be a good morning, i lowered my gaze, i hate when he looks at me like i did something wrong "
you were talking to Ela i suppose?" i shook my head as no "
oh.. i see"
"
its morning na..? you said no talking at night.."
"
so you called him at 6 am?" i bit my lip "
or you both stayed on the phone all night long?"
i felt tears forming in my eyes from embarrassment "
we.." i couldnt finish the sentence, i dont know how to talk about this to a man..
Amit walked a step closer then hugged me "
i am only worried that he hurts you in a way you wouldnt be able to move on.."
"
he's a good man" i whispered hugging him
"
i know.. dont.. shake like this, i dont like feeling that im scaring you"
"
im just embarrassed"
he giggled then kissed my head "
why? you chose the man.. i just have to know that he is treating you well"
i smiled not looking at him "
he is"
"
good.. i still dont like this, night talk.. sleeping together"
i gasped looking at him "
AMIT!"
"
oh God Geet, i didnt mean it physically"
"
just.. go" i pushed him away
"
i mean.."
"
GO" i shouted, he was laughing walking towards his bedroom, i ran towards the bathroom and sighed "
sleeping together?! thanks Amit" those thoughts never occurred to me, and i didnt WANT them to occur to me at all.. it would make things worse if i met Maan today, not that im the bad type of girl who thinks only about sex but still.. there was this desire in me, this tiny part of my heart that was whispering to me.. the need that i fought to be with Maan last night and hold him tight.. i dont think thats bad? its only nice to me. i took a shower, then put on my jeans and shirt, let my hair dry by itself, would be wavy like those Hollywood actresses. i looked at the clook, it was 7:30.. i grabbed my mobile and without thinking twice, called Maan
"
it's only 7:30"
"
you're awake?"
"
i couldnt sleep" he sighed "
chalo, im coming now.. we could walk until the restaurant opens"
"
alright" i grinned, hang up and went to mom's room.. knocked the door "
Amit"
"
yes?"
i jumped "
you scared me!" he was standing right behind me
he laughed "
i was in the bathroom.. going somewhere?"
"
haan.. we.. will walk.. then go to Umid"
"
hm" he sighed "
alright.."
i smiled then hugged him "
thanks"
"
ye" he smiled back "
your mother wants an explanation though"
"
YOU TOLD HER?!"
"
no" he hit my head "
she's been asking about why you take my permission to go somewhere and not her's" he opened their bedroom's door
"
ah" i sighed, i looked inside and saw mom sleeping "
well.. im going to Ela's if she asks"
"
you're planning to stay out for too long?" he blinked at me
"
cant i?"
"
Ge.." he stopped "
how long?"
"
i was.. planning on.. the whole day"
"
WHAT?" he shouted then looked back to see if mom is up or not, she moved but she didnt wake up "
the whole day?"
"
Amit, you and mom are hand in hand THE WHOLE TIME, i get bored by that so yes, i will stay out the whole day" he squeezed his eyes at me "
take her out, go have fun.. she only stays in here cause i am too!" then i started shaking, Amit looked away "
hello"
"
im downstairs"
"
coming now" i hang up then looked at Amit "
please?" i gave him the puppy eyes
"
jao" he sighed "
call me if anything happens, understand?"
i jumped then hugged him tightly "
thank you"
i ran towards the main door, Maan was smiling at me "
hey" he said
"
what do you have today?" i quickly asked
"
depends"
"
i.." how can i say this? "
well, was wondering if we.. could spend the day together"
i looked at him to see his big smile that i love to see "
i'm all yours today" his hand sweetly grabbed mine and held it tightly, we started walking around.. not knowing exactly where to and it didnt bother neither one of us
"
when is your sister's wedding?" i broke the silence
"
next month" he smiled "
she wants it to be on her birthday"
i smiled "
that's sweet"
"
yeah" he nodded
again silence, he was still holding my hand, i tried to think of anything to talk about but subjects were running away from me, i looked around.. when i sighed "
i guess its going to rain"
"
oh" he looked up "
i guess it started raining"
i looked up and drops of rain were falling on my face "
purfect"
he giggled "
do you want to get into a cab?"
"
no" i sighed, he seemed to be enjoying the rain
"
i love this you know? me and mom would stand at our yard and dance around in the rain" he smiled sweetly
"
mom would freak out if i stepped outside in the rain.." i see the difference between our mothers now
the rain was falling hard now, both of us were wet.. everyone else was running towards a safe place to hide, people were covering themselves with newspapers or bags.. this rain wasnt really expected in July, Maan and i were the only idiots stopping in the road, he looked at me, he wasnt smiling now.. this look in his eyes i couldnt make the difference whether it was desire or pure love, he walked a step towards me, still holding my hand, i looked down, his piercing eyes were stabbing my heart and making it beat so fast to survive, he stepped closer until i felt my head on his chest, i closed my eyes as his fingers reached for my other hand and his forefinger held mine in a way that made me sigh, i bit my lip as i felt him leaning down "
arent you going to dance with me?" he whispered in my ear
"
i dont know how to dance.." my head was still down
he smiled, and slowly started moving, i was looking down at our feet, afraid i'd step at his foot but we were moving too slow to actually step at him, he let my hand go and put his arm around my waist, pulled me closer to him.. although the rain was cold, i shivered feeling his warm breath on my neck.. i held his shirt tight as he let his cold lips kiss my neck.. he was going up to my jaw.. he kissed my cheek and then stopped at my lips "
can i do something off friendship limit?" i couldnt talk.. i know what he was about to do, and i found it hard to tell him no.. he slowly got closer, i closer my eyes as he kissed the edge of my lips.. he made my heart race "
haan yah nah?" he whispered
"
haan" i said sounding weak and totally fell in his trap
he slowly let his lips brush mine before he kissed them softly, he moved back and i moved towards him, he smiled as he kissed me again, i felt his fingers run through my wet hair as he kissed me back, my arms were already around his neck not letting him move away from my lips, this feeling inside me.. the need to be beside him increased that i didnt realized how passionate our kiss became.. his hand were going through my back.. my waist.. he made me shiver, and i started running my hands through his back.. holding his shirt tight at some point "
Geet" he moved back.. "
God" he rested his forehead on mine, both of us breathing heavily.. the rain still falling on us, he locked me in his arms "
you drive me crazy"
"
im sorry" i blushed smiling
"
dont be.." he smiled kissing my forehead "
i love you"
PRECAPi opened the door and slammed it behind me and started walking "where are you going?"
"home!" i was walking pretty fast
"can you at least slow down?" i stopped and he stood beside me "thank you!" we started walking in this weird alley between houses, it was getting dark.. and no one was around "are you seriously angry with me?"
"yes"
"you are impossible"
i stopped and looked at him "why is that? you're hiding something from me! i want to know"
"oh, isnt that the same way with you? you think curiosity wasnt killing me the way it is killing you now"
"you KNOW already, i saw it in your eyes" i paused, what did i just say?
"and you know too!" he shouted, i looked away "fine" he said "my secret is.." he paused, i still didnt look at him....Edited by blueyRu - 14 years ago
