Part 4:
Finally it was Friday! Geet was done with finals week at last and finally could take a long deserved break.
Geet lay on her bed closing her eyes and trying to forget the long stressful week of studying and her mind again drifted to the stranger that had entered her life less than a week ago, Maan. There was something to the sound of his name that she just loved.
Geet: Maan. Maan. Maaan.she repeated, saying his name in different ways and in different tones.
Trish had gotten some more information on Maan from Vicky and told Geet. Maan was doing his MBA at NYU Stern just like Vicky. He had been living in New York for quite a while now and was very much serious about his studies. Even with his looks he wasn't the type of guy that would go around with every girl. Even from his facebook page they had seen that he barely had any partying pics or pics with girls.
For some reason that brought a sigh of relief to Geet, knowing that he didn't have a girlfriend.
As Geet repeated Maan's name she wondered how her name would sound from his mouth, in his voice!!
As she was continuing her jaap of Maan's name, Trish entered her room.
Trish: Oye hoye, Maan ki deewani.
Geet was flustered: Woh nothing I was just saying maan'maan..haan maan jao na..yea.
Trish: Maan jao na? Seriously who else is in this room that u r trying to mana.
Or ooo la la have you secretly met Maan and he is in this room and you were telling him jao na jaanu, hmm hmmm hmm kyun bata she said winking?
Geet: Oh Trish you and your overactive imagination.
Trish: Anyway teri wish puri hone wali hai
Geet: Kya?
Trish: I told you na about our plan to go ice skating this weekend. So yea I decided lets go tonight itself, everyone is free. Vicky is off from work and Jai will come too obviously if Sharon is going.
Geet: Oh Trish you know I am really not in the mood. Too tired and you know I am so terrible at ice skating can barely stand up.
Trish: Oh come on Geet, don't be a spoilsport. Plus hear this.. I got you company ;)'.Maan is coming with Vicky.
Geet: WHAT?! Maan is coming!!! After realizing how crazy she sounded she contained her excitement..oh he is coming too'
Trish: So, well I presume you still don't want to go, fine we'll enjoy without you. After all you are too tired and won't have enough energy to skate na?
Geet: No no, I feel much better, not tired at all, nope absolutely fine, she said straightening herself up on the bed.
Trish: Oh Geet, I tell ya you are going to be a goner, abhi se yeh haal hai and you haven't even had a proper conversation with the guy. He sure is a charmer. Chal phir tayar rehna we leaving in an hour.
Geet started to get ready she didn't know what to wear, at the end she picked a red sweater and wore her nice red coat and comfortable jeans and knee high black boots. She took out the red shawl but decided to leave it home they would be out and about in the train and stuff and she didn't want to lose it or get it ruined. For some reason it felt special to her. She was very conscious of how she looked and put on some lip gloss and eyeliner. She straightened her hair and left it down, and put on a nice fluffy white hat that would cover her ears from the chilly wind.
They were to go to Bryant Park, which was quite a few blocks from their residence, so they decided to take the subway (train). Sharon had called Jai over to their place so he could go with the girls. It was about 9 PM at night and they got on the train.
Jai came. He was a nice looking guy. Tall dark and handsome types. He wore glasses and was very studious. He had liked Sharon since their freshman year of college but never had the courage to say it to her, since the liking was mutual it was Sharon who confessed to him over a study session.
On the train they sat together across the 4 seats. Trish was at one end Geet and Sharon in the middle and Jai next to her.
Jai: Geet what equation did you use for that 4th physics problem on the final?
Geet responded telling him the equation.
Jai: Oh thank God I used the same it was quite a tricky question.
Sharon: Yea it was. Guys I am so scared to get our final grades next week.
Trish: OMG guys, like hello study session over!!! Time to enjoy and chillax!! If I hear one more word about physics I will seriously get off at the next stop and pull you all off with me! Now are we changing the topic or what?
Jai was totally scared of Trish!!
Jai: Ahh sorry Trish you girls go ahead and talk I will just catch up on my email on my phone he proceeded to check hi email, just in case that his professors might have put up their grades for previous finals. But he didn't mention this to Trish.
Trish nudging Geet: Geet samne dekh, tere type ka ladka.
Geet looked up and it was a 60 year old white man.
Geet: Mere type ka ladka?
Trish: Haan uski aankhein dekh, biklul tere blue-green eyes walay ke jaisi hai she winked and hi-fived Sharon.
Geet: Oh haan kitnay achay lag rahay hai na yeh bhudhay uncle.
Trish: Wow Geet seriously? I was just joking, but tunay to hadh kardi aankhon ke peeche ab tu age bhi bhool gayi. Hai kahan Maan ke liye tarap rahi thi aur ab bhuday ko pakar liya!!!
Sharon: Bhudha milgaya bhudha milgaya, mein kya karon hai mujhay bhudha milgaya, hahaha.
Jai looking up from his phone: Ahhh Sharon we are on a public train and everyone is staring so can you please stop singing.
Sharon: Oh hehe Sharon said looking around at people staring at her "So-rr-y" she mouthed to those making weird faces.
Their stop arrived and they got out and headed to the park.
Outside they saw Vicky and Maan waiting for them. Maan was wearing a black Guess jacket and jeans. He had a nice gray scarf wrapped around him. His hair was gelled and he was looking hot.
Vicky was the cool dude type of guy, very stylish and fun-loving. They walked up to the both the guys. Jai did the cool guy hand shake with both, he had met Maan previously as well.
Trish hugged Vicky and he kissed her on the cheek and then greeted the other girls. He then introduced Maan to the girls.
Vicky: So girls this is my friend Maan'I believe you know about him, he winked at Trish.
Trish and Sharon both shook hands with Maan.
Trish: Nice to meet you at last Maan, heard quite a lot about you.
Maan: Well I hope all good things, he smiled and Geet who was looking on had to stop herself from melting at his smile she sighed.
Maan looked over to Geet.
Maan: Well hello there, he smiled! I guess this is our first formal meeting then. So he said bringing his hand forward, Maan Singh Khurana.
Geet: Geet Handa'.as he shook her hand she felt the warmth of his hands send a warming and cozy sensation all over her body.
Maan: Pleasure meeting you Miss Geet. He smiled and winked.
Geet was caught off guard: Same here, Mr. Mysterious.
Maan: Mr. Mysterious eh, I like it. He was still holding on to her hand and when Geet looked down he finally let go.
Trish: Guys let's go we don't wanna be standing here for ever.
They go to the ice rink and each of them gets a pair of skates.
Geet stayed at the side of the rink holding on to the edges to keep her balance. The other couples skated hand in hand helping each other keep their balance.
Maan skated over to Geet, he held his hand out for her to take it.
Maan: Need a hand?
Geet: Thanks. She took his hand and they skated together. Geet found this to be the perfect time to ask her pending questions.
Geet: Do you mind if I ask you something?
Maan: No not at all go ahead.
Geet: Umm, I was just wondering, why do you drive a taxi?
Maan laughed and she noticed that he had the most adorable laugh ever and it was quite the contagious one.
Maan: Well everyone can use a little extra money now, especially us college students with all our loans. I just do it as a pastime and to make some money usually just do weekend morning shifts. And it's nice you know driving around the city meeting new people.
Geet: Bet you meet quite interesting people.
Maan: Yup I do, but most of them never ever see again, you know one-time meeting.
Geet: Well that wasn't the case for us. She smiled looking at him.
Maan: That's because there are some people I wish to meet again and again. People that I find special, she felt like his grip on her hand just tightened.
Geet: Why did you leave your number for me at Starbucks that day?
Maan: Well that Miss Geet is for you to figure out, now I am not going to lose my Mr. Mysterious title just like that by revealing everything about me, he chuckled.
Anyway even if I did give you my number it is not like you called me or anything.
Geet: Well I don't like calling strangers.
Maan: Are we really strangers now Miss Geet? He said looking her in the eyes. And Geet wondered at his question, she always felt a weird kind of pull towards him, a connection'.
Geet: Umm..why do you keep calling me Miss. Geet?
Maan: Well you keep addressing me as Umm, at least I am saying your name. Umm I like that too, so two names you have for me, Umm and Mr. Mysterious nice.
Geet laughed and Maan looked on.
Maan: You know something, you look really beautiful when you laugh.
Geet blushed and played with her hair become conscious of her looks.
They continued to skate hand in hand. Just gliding on the ice. Geet who normally was terrible at skating hadn't fallen once, She felt that as long as he held on to her she could face all her shortcomings.
After a while of skating like this.
Maan: Ok this is getting boring, you want to try something different.
Geet: Different as in?
Maan: As in we dance on the ice.
Geet: Oh no no no, me I can barely skate normally me and dance here, no thanks.
Maan: Come on, I'll be helping you, it'll be fun.
Geet: no I don't think it's a good idea.
Maan: If you are afraid that I won't be able to pick you up don't worry not gonna do any fancy moves, and anyhow you are a thin girl I think I can handle your weight anyway he winked.
How about just a few twirls and stuff?
Geet: Ok she relented.
He held her hand and she glided a bit away on the ice then she moved closer and holding her hand above here he twirled her, as she twirled she could feel his warm breath on her neck and back and it made her quiver.
He noticed and brought her closer to him, as he spoke she could see his breath.
Maan: Are you getting cold?
Geet: Yea kind of.
Maan began to take off the scarf from around his neck. He proceeded to put it around her neck and as he was doing so their breaths intermingled on that cool ice as they both were breathing out the warm air because of the cold weather.
Geet put her hand on Maan's chest to keep her balance and she had placed it right by his heart. She could feel his heartbeat quicken and as he was placing the scarf around her he was finding it hard to keep his balance so he grabbed her waist.
Geet gasped as he did so, a weird tingling sensation taking over her body. She kind of jerked back and in doing so lost her balance, and so did Maan who was holding on to her.
They both fell on the ice, Geet on top of Maan. Geet's face was near Maan's and as she was moving away her hair was covering his face and he moved it to the side. Then their eyes met his blue-green ones meeting her hazel ones. She felt the urge to tell him something, how she loved those eyes.. and then he said something..
Maan: You know something Miss Geet'you're eyes are beautiful!!
Geet blushed and in her head thought: OMG this guy is a mind reader too now, saying exactly what I wanted to say.
Trish saw these to from afar.
Trish: Oye hoye akhir mere lectures kaam ah hi gaye, good good Geet wahin pakar le usay jaane mat dena hottie ko.
Geet started to get up and unknowingly her bracelet got stuck on Maan's coat sleeve and hung there.
As she tried getting up she kept slipping on the ice, Maan noticed the bracelt hanging from his sleeve, smirked, and quietly kept it in his pocket. He then helped himself up and held onto Geet's hand helping her to fully get up.
Geet: Thanks.
Her hair was now a mess and Maan moved closer and Geet moved back as he was moving closer but he again grabbed her by the waist and this time he brought them both to the edge of the rink and put his left hand on the back for support while with his right hand he fixed her hair and his scarf around her.
Maan: There that should keep you warm, he said moving away heading back towards the others.
Geet stood there inhaling the scent of his cologne on the scarf. She held onto the scarf tightly and sighed wrapping her hands around herself. This was his smell and she wished it would stay with her forever just like that.
