Chapter 3

"The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rarely the strong. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaptation, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidable, to harmonize with existing or changing conditions."- Unknown

Pinky's father to geet - "You are a fighter and a survivor; you will live through this and come out stronger than ever".

Geet was still looking around trying to figure out what she should do next. It's almost been 15minutes; since she got out of that bus and here she was lost and confused.

She was getting teary eyed, "babaji, what should I do now, should I go ahead or should I take a step back. Did I make a mistake in coming here....?"

Then she told herself, 'geet don't lose heart now. You have come this far and it was not easy. No point going back, think about what you need to do first...........'

She screwed her face trying to think and then..."han, I need a place to stay first, she had heard about ladies hostels from friends of hers in hoshiarpur maybe she can go there".

She brightened, with the decision she made for now, she can find some hostel and stay.

She looked around trying to decide whom to ask, she was not comfortable talking to strange men. So she decided to ask the women peddlers. Maybe they might help her.....

Just when she took her first step in the direction to find someone, she heard 'geeeeeeeeeeetttttttttt'.

Geet turned around hearing her name being called by someone, she was shocked. Who could it be, no one knows her here in Delhi. She looked to her left to find the source and then to the right...

There it is the source of the sound. A girl may be a little older than her was running towards her. From this distance all she could see was a great ball of pink, before she could react or do anything she was already on her and hugging geet tight.

Geet started getting uncomfortable now .....'Who was this', and the pink lady was still hugging her. She started fidgeting.

"oye geet, I was so worried I might miss you. Dad would have had my hide if I went back home without you". She quickly joined their hands, "chal lets go now" and pulled geet.

Geet dint move, she was stunned who is this lady and where is she asking her to go with her.

"Ughhh.......sorry, who are you"

The lady slapped her forehead, "of course, you don't know me or remember me. I am pinky one of your child hood friend".

"Sorry, but I don't remember any childhood friend with your name", geet was feeling confused but also guilty to say this to her. But that's the truth she doesn't remember anyone with that name.

"Oh! Geet, don't feel sorry coz u don't remember me. It's ok". She was still holding geet by her shoulders.

"Hang on, I think I have something that might help you remember", saying that pinky opened her handbag and pulled out a bunch papers.

She pulled out the first one and showed it to geet; they were not papers but photos....

"See this; this was my first vacation in hoshiarpur. You were with piggy tails then running behind me all the time, (pinky laughed) you were what 3 then and I was 5".

"And this one, when we both were running around trying to catch all the chicklets from the pen and you got a sound tongue lashing from darji while I was hiding. My dad still laughs at this picture everytime he sees it".

Geet actually had a smile on her face when she saw the photos. Even though the memory was hazy, she could at least believe pinky now. She probably was just too young then to remember her.

"This one geet of our fathers together, was taken during the same time. My dad and your dad became such good friends from then that they have kept in touch throughout the years".

Geet remembered her father talking about a friend in Delhi, even though she dint know who he was she remembered.

"That's how I know you are coming to Delhi today geet. Your dad called papa".

Geet looked at pinky in shock. She could not believe what she was hearing.

"Papaji called".

"Han geet".

"Listen, I know you have a million questions and so do I. We have a lot to catch up on. So either we can stay here all-day and get roasted in the sun when I tell you the whole story or we can go home and discuss everything over a glass of lemonade. What say??" smiled pinky.

Geet did not know what to say anymore. Pinky sounded like who she claimed to be and the photos were proof enough. She just nodded her head as a yes and followed her, what else can she do?

***

In the house

Pinky's father was waiting for his daughters return anxiously. Mohinder called him last night and told him everything about what had happened. He was very distressed and inconsolable about his daughter's fate and the way she had to leave her home forever.

As a father himself, he knew what it might be like for mohinder. He tried consoling him but to no use. He promised he will take care of geet and that mohinder does not have to worry. That calmed him a bit, I am sure he was worried sick about her coming to Delhi alone. He told pinky everything last night and she quickly supported him that geet should be brought home and they can help her.

It was noon and he was a little concerned if geet might believe pinky and come home. But he had faith in pinky, she was a people person and very good at dealing with people and he was sure she could convince geet.

Just as he was about to open the door to see if there is some movement outside, he heard car honking. It must be them. He opened the door, and saw geet and pinky getting out.

He dint go to them immediately, not wanting to spook geet. When they reached home he held the door open for them to get in. Geet looked confused and lost.

"Geet beta, how are you. I am pinky's father. You might have heard about me from your dad and pinky might have shown you some photos, welcome to Delhi". He smiled.

"Ji, I am fine uncle ji".

"Ok, pinky show geet around and I shall get some lemonade for all of us".

"Ji papaji. Come geet"

Geet followed pinky, "this is our room geet. Papa has his own room and I thought it will be good if we could share a room, I dint want you to be alone in the guest room".

Geet nodded. She was feeling shy and was not sure how to speak to pinky and her father.

Pinky dropped hers and geets bags in the room, "chal geet, papa should have our lemonade by now and we can have something to eat too".

***

"Here we go children, some ice cold lemonade and some sandwiches" said pinkys father as we all sat in the table.

Pinky dived into the food like she was starving and geet looked at the sandwiches as though they were some alien food.

"Geet beta, did you have anything since morning".

She shook her head.

"Then you should have something. I must know I am a nurse after all. Here have some sandwiches and some lemonade. You will feel much better after that and then you can go have a nap. We can talk everything later".

Geet dint want to eat but she did not want to insult pinkys father by saying no.

He sounded sincere and honest; he also looked at her with kindness. So she took the offered plate and slowly started eating. The sandwiches were not too bad, even though she never had one before they tasted good.

After the food was over, pinky and her father got up to clear the table. Geet got up to help them, but pinkys father waved her away. "No beta you rest. You might have had an exhausting journey. Go take a nap".

"No, its ok uncle ji, I can't sleep in the daytime".

Pinky's father knew what she was referring to and by the looks of geet, he could have already made a guess that she was not sleeping well. She had dark circles under her eyes; her face looked tired and dull. She definitely needed to sleep.

Pinkys father slowly sat back down, while pinky got to clean the table. He looked at geet and said "beta, I know what happened with you. Your father told me everything last night. I only wished he told me earlier, but that's ok".

Geet hung her head in shame wondering what he might think of her.

He continued, "I just want you to know that pinky and I are very proud of you the way you have dealt with this. Also remember beta that whatever happened was none of your fault and never be ashamed of it"

"You are a fighter and a survivor; you will live through this and come out stronger than ever".

Geet was surprised and terrified at how easily they accepted her and the support they are giving her. She thought about her own family who were against everything she did and pinkys family. A tear dropped from her eyes.

Pinkys father came next to her, held her shoulders and pulled her up from the chair "chalo geet I think you need some sleep. Here let me give you some medicines that might help you sleep".

Geet did not want to have any medicines after the last time her mother forced the vile liquid, by looking at her expression he said "beta, I know you cannot trust any of us now. But I promise on babaji that we are not doing anything against you. The medicine will just give you a peaceful sleep".

Geet was apprehensive, but she hoped she was making the right decision and accepted the medicines he gave her.

She lay down in bed as the medicine was taking effect, and the last thing she did before closing her eyes was she prayed. "Babaji, whatever the future holds and whatever it is to bring.....help me.....give me the strength and the courage to face it.......and the will to survive".
