After Three Years
It was after full three years she landed in Delhi, the very own city where half of her life spent, and ruined, she thought.
After that dreadful rainy night, she left the city within one week, cutting the cord with each and everyone, she left no trail, no contacts with her friends, she chose Mumbai because she knew it was the only city where no one exactly cared about anyone, she knew she was saved but she have to be careful, she, with the help of proper medication maintained her health well, and got new job, too. It was peaceful and pleasant about the advance and improved society that the people infected with HIV was not treated the same way as they were treated before decade, she was welcomed warmly by one of the trust set up for unprivileged and rejected people by their family members and society, though she never thought she was unprivileged but she chose to work for them, to save them. She was happy in her own little world still the wound that pierced her heart before three years was not healed yet, not even a single night spent when she did not remember him, but not for any sympathy, only to curse him, but deep down from her heart, she always knew, she still cared for him but it was not in her hand, her hatred for him was much more stronger than her love.
The only person with whom she was in contact was Meera, because she was the one who suggested her few medicines, and referred some other good doctors in Mumbai. She was thankful to her for her help, but then she knew that Meera was his friend, so she decided to cut the cord from her, too. But then it was her marriage, and she could not refuse much. She chose to attend her marriage and leave Delhi in one night only. She could not stay there, it was much more excruciating for her to remember her life spent there and how she lost it all, just because of him - the person who ruined it all.
***
She was standing alone near the trails of the terrace and enjoying cool breeze, when she felt someone standing silently standing behind her, she turned around to find Meera, and she smiled to her. She smiled back, unhappily.
'Congratulations!' she wished her cheerfully.
'Thanks!'
'How's life?' she asked casually.
'Perfect. I love my new life, adjusted.'
'Do you still hate him?' Meera asked unswervingly without fear.
'Look...if you want to defend your friend then I'm going from here...I have no more to talk about him...' and she tried to left from there but Meera held her hand strongly and pulled her back.
'Oh! Stop it...Geet! I'm not defending him; I'm just asking you because you know something? Your eyes speak a lot...Tell me you want to know where he is...I know you care...'
'...Shut up!'
'I will, I have no more interest in you and your life...but I, for sure want to tell you something because he is my friend, and I cant see you hating him like this...For god sake...He is my best buddy...' she was emotional by then.
'Meera...'
'...No you listen! I know you hate him, but have you ever tried to get the facts...EVER? I admit that he was at fault, he should be punished, but he does not deserve this much hatred from you...Don't tell me that you haven't read newspapers from last three years...Don't you get affected? Have you become stone hearted? You were never like this...Geet!' she said loudly and soon her newly wedded husband, Jay came and tried to calm her down. She hugged him crying sadly. Her husband, Jay tried to soothe her.
'No...baby...It hurts, you know he is my friend...when I needed him, he was there and now when he needs me...us...and I'm being selfish...He is alone...' she broke down in his arms and he tried to soothe her. Meera's husband, Jay seemed caring and understanding to Geet, from his behavior she assumed that he knew all about them, she felt bad for Meera, on her wedding day, she was crying for Maan.
'Meera...' she could only utter her name, in shock.
'If you care for me even, meet me tomorrow in my clinic...' she said trying to act calm then, seemed her husband was warm, she was comfortable in his arms. Jay carried her inside; she stood there watching them uninterruptedly. They were comfortable with each other and she was smiling after few minutes.
She went hotel, first thing she did was to cancel her tickets for next morning, it was never like that she forgot him for last few years, she remembered the day when she left Delhi forever, her last visit was his home - their home. He was not there at home; she took his photo with her and left from there without even looking back, with teary eyes. She came to know about him from media and newspapers, after few weeks that he was nowhere to be found, his mansion was empty, he was disappeared out of the blue, media never missed a chance to blame him, his unconventional habits and irresponsible behavior, all she knew was that he was nowhere to be found, he handed over the position of MD and Khurana Industries to Jay, his friend and then, Meera's husband, lately she came to know. He was operating the company on calls only, and nobody found out where was he. She tried to avoid him and news related to him, but she never could, every morning she used to wake up and read something new about him in the newspaper, but it was always unbelievable for her. Slowly and gradually, the news of Maan Singh Khurana moved to third page from first and then, fifth and slowly disappeared. After all, who was interested in him anyways, the world was still the same, mean and moving.
Just the way, she washed her hands, too. She involved herself in work extremely busy so that she could never get time to think about her past, she had moved on, but what happened just before few hours with Meera, shook her. It was like the same old Geet was knocking the thick door around her heart and silently asking her heart to open up her wounds, so that it could be healed. The entire night spent in her dilemma, she was much confused, she wanted to hate him more and more but at the same time, she desperately wanted to know about him, where he was and how he was. No wonder, the weird moment came when she literally thought, whether he was alive or dead, and that made her cry more. Eventually, at the time of dusk, with the light sunrays upon her face, making her hazel eyes look more light and sparkling, she decided to go to Meera.
With pounding heart and shivering hands, she entered her cabin and she saw her sitting in the chair reading something and to her surprise, Jay was also there, sitting beside her, holding her hand. She was scared as if she was about to hear some bad news, she clutched the door handle tightly. The one mere step in her cabin, could be dangerous to her, it was like she was walking back to her past, the same past which she wiped away and had moved on. She stood there for moment, trying to back off once again, but she just could not. And she heard Meera welcoming her. She moved ahead.
'Take a seat!' Meera said, from her tone, Geet assumed that she was still upset with her.
'Meera...I...'
'Look geet...I'm really sorry for last night, I was low and emotional...I hope you understand because it was my wedding, my marriage and my best buddy, my close friend was not there with me...You know me and Maan...How would you feel if Tammy would not be there with you on your special day...?' she asked genuinely and calmly.
Meera was much calm and settled then. Geet was taken aback first but she knew the answer,
'I know Meera...but that would never happen because I have already seen much...I am no older Geet now...' she snapped back.
'I know...You are here and that proves everything, keep telling lies to yourself, not me...' she said confidently.
'Why you called me here?'
'...Just to inform you. I can't hide it anymore...nor I can pretend...So I will tell you today, rest is on you, you have to decide what you want to choose.'
'What are you saying?'
'Geet...Maan was at fault but there is one thing I need to tell you...'
Geet did not say anything but signed her to continue.
'When you left from my cabin that noon, I called him but his phone was switched off. I was worried for him, because I knew you would hate him and you would leave him, it was in your eyes when you left from here, the hatred for him, I was worried. And, I was right, you indeed left him, I called him several times that night, but he did not answered. I promised him that I would handle it, he did not wanted to take any meds, so he called me and literally convinced me that it was viral fever, as you know I can't say no to him, I agreed. He really could not make you worried, geet. But we never knew his one lie would made such big problem, and, next day I reached his home, and literally dragged him to the hospital, he did not say anything then, not even a word to me, about you and anything. I checked him, and I was right, it was late, he had AIDS, I was mad at him first, I asked him about anything but he did not say anything; I gave him more days to remember just anything but he could not. I started his meds and treatment, I could not call him to the hospital otherwise media people would know everything; I had to go to his mansion every night for check up. And the week after you left the city, he did not say much but one evening he called me urgently...'
She stopped for moment, by then she was emotionally low and Jay held her hand, Geet was no more interested in anything except for knowing more about him, she held her chair tightly and carefully listened to her.
'When I reached there, he hugged me unexpectedly and cried. I was taken aback, all these days, he never mentioned a thing and suddenly he was responding, and then, he told me everything what he remembered, and he told me that before a year, he was in Bangkok for business and he was driving in full speed on freeway and he tried to save a girl who was on the way, and he met with an accident, though he was not injured at all, but the girl was injured badly and he stayed there to help her, he had to ratify his mistake and call it his bad luck or destiny but his blood group matched hers, and he donated blood to the girl, and through same syringe, in blood transfusion, a mere mistake by local nurse, the girl was having AIDS, this is how he was infected with that disease, he came to know about this thing when she called him before a day, as you know him, he has good repot with girls, like any other girl, she became his fan, and he knew about the disease, it all made sense to him then, and he confessed to me.'
That was it, she was crying bitterly by then, she was shocked to hear that, how fate played with him brutally.
'But...he knew that he made mistake and he was feeling much guilty so he decided to leave everything, though he never told me what did you told him, but his eyes were enough sad for me to comprehend, he appointed Jay to take care of the company and that is how we two came close, I was there with him till the last date he was in this city, I gave him proper medication and suggested other doctors, too. And he left from the city. I hated him for leaving me like this... He promised me not to stop him and you know I can't say no to him... Since then, I never saw him in person, he always calls me or video conference, I invited him in marriage but he refused as he knew I invited you, too. He did not come to me...on my special day...Geet...He is special for me, I know you were always jealous of me and him but Geet...Whatever you think, we are and we will be best buddy...But you see, he loves you only...You are one for him and that's why even if I want to hate you...I just can't hate you...He loves you, you are his life...' she smiled through tears.
'But where is he now?' she asked impatiently. She, for the first time respected him and Meera and their friendship, and she knew she always felt envious when Maan was with Meera, probably it was her fault that she could not see their bond, which was always special and unique.
'Geet...he promised me not to tell anyone where he is...but...'
'...but you can tell me...'
'...of course yes! Have patience...he is in Goa. Alone.' She said, putting more weight on last word. And she gave her the address with a smile, before leaving from there she apologized to them and hugged her warmly and left.
