AGE OF LOVE

Spring

The beginning

We were like flowers blooming under the sun,

Ready to begin a life filled with possibilities

And each other.

From the very first day of my existence,

You had left a mark on me,

I am Geet, because of my Maan.

"She is beautiful, Rano." Pari Khurana said affectionately as she held a newborn baby girl. One year old Maan started to howl as he already missed his mother's embrace. "Bilkul teri jassi lagti hain."

"Bechara is getting jealous." Rano laughed, as she cuddled her friend's son whom she loved as her own child.

"He should get used to it because, now I've a daughter." Pari joked. "Kitni pyaari hain."

"Its fine long as you don't ignore my little boy." Rano countered back. "But yaar, I still haven't thought of a name for the little one."

Just than Maan's crying got even louder, in response to not receiving any attention. This time Rano tried to console him, but all her efforts were in vain. Pari was about to take her son back but as if in synchronisation the little baby girl also started to cry. Little Maan immediately stopped crying, staring at the odd creature who was making all the sounds.

"Wow, looks like our little princess has a musical cry. It is almost like a song." Pari said amused. "It takes a lot to get this devil to stop crying."

Immediately Rano's face broke into a smile. "That is it! I got the name, Geet!"

"That is a lovely name." Pari said with a soft smile at the baby girl. "It's an apt name for a beautiful little girl. Dekha meri Maan has already left his mark on his new buddy."

Pari then put down Geet on the baby cot and took Maan from Rano, to lie him down next to her.

"Kitni pyaar lagti hain dono ek saath." She commented while patting both of them. "Hopefully Maan and Geet will get along."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My first memories of life

Are of you,

Every memory afterwards,

Is only a shadow of you

Khurana Mansion was filled with noise and commotion as two children created havoc in the place. Four year old Geet forced a reluctant Maan to give her a piggyback ride. She squealed in excitement as she clutched onto Maan, who immediately toppled over with her weight.

"HEY!" Geet screamed. "Why did you drop me?"

"Because you are fat! And because I don't want to carry you!" Maan screamed at her, out of embarrassment of not being able to carry her.

An angry Geet stomped on Maan's toes causing the boy the scream out in anger and to pull her hair.

"Badi Ma!" Geet yelled out, calling out to Pari who immediately came out to see what all the commotion was about. On seeing Pari, Geet immediately let out some crocodile tears, knowing that it will soften her Badi Ma and put Maan in more trouble.

"MAAN!" Pari admonished Maan. "Let go of Geet's hair. Why are you doing this to my angel?"

"But mum-" Maan tried to explain but he was cut off rudely by a mischievous Geet.

"Badi Ma he dropped me on the floor'.and he pulled my hair." Geet tattled to Pari and stuck out her tongue at Maan.

"You tattle!" Maan's face was red with anger. "You were the one who stomped on me!"

"Maan that is enough!" Pari continued to scold Maan, while caressing Geet. However at that moment Rano entered, ready to take back Geet home.

"Why are you scolding Maan, Pari?" Rani asked Pari. "I am sure it's Geet's fault. This one always gets in to trouble and blames it on Maan. The poor boy doesn't get any respite from this one's evil plans. Come here, Maan, I have a present for you."

Maan ran to hug one of his favourite people. "Thanks Rano Ma!" He quickly took the bar of chocolate from her and started to munch on it before Geet could grab it off him.

"Rano chal hum baat karte hain. After all these two will always have their fights. Sometimes it's hard to understand whether they are friends or enemies." Pari asked Rano, and then told the kids. "You two go and play. I don't want any more fights."

Left alone to their own devices, Geet started to feel guilty about getting Maan into trouble and of course she also wanted some of the chocolate from him.

"Maanu I am sorry." Geet had a cute pout and gave her soulful puppy eyes look. "Please forgive me."

While Pari might have been helpless against Geet's persuasive skills, Maan was made of sterner stuff, not to mention that he wasn't going to give up his chocolate.

"Go away." Maan's response was to the point.

"Please Maan, I am sorry. I'll do anything you want." Geet gave a deceptively innocent look at Maan.

"Anything?" Maan smirked. "Alright then, I dare you to do a headstand for 4 minutes. After that you are forgiven."

"Ok!" Geet readily agreed. "But you'll have to leave some chocolate for me!"

"Sure."

So for the next 4 minutes Geet did a headstand while Maan happily munched on his chocolate, plotting his revenge.

After Geet was done, she turned to Maan expectantly. "Am I forgiven?"

"Sure." Maan sounded as sardonic as a 5 year old can.

"Okay, where is my chocolate?" Geet asked.

"Here." Maan's hand held a tiny portion of the chocolate. But before Geet could take that off him, he spat on it. "Why don't you have some of it now?"

"EEWWW!!!" Geet screamed. "You ruined the chocolate!"

And so started another fight.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We fought and argued,

Bruised and tattered,

Yet we always knew

That it was us against the rest

Eight year old Geet came running into her house, crying as if her heart was broken.

"What happened princess?" Mohinder Handa was worried about why his daughter was crying like that. Geet was usually an emotionally strong child, who rarely cried or got severely upset.

"Papa, Maan didn't invite me to his 9^th birthday!" Geet moaned. "He invited all the boys, but not me! He said that the others would laugh if I was there!"

"What! The audacity of the boy!" Mohinder said in mock anger. "I'll talk to him and give him an earful!"

"No papa! Don't tell him anything, because he will call me a spoil sport!" She explained. "I won't talk to him ever again. He can be with his smelly pals!" With that Geet ran to her room, tears still running down her face.

For the next few weeks Geet stopped talking to Maan, angry that he hadn't invited her despite the fact that they were best friends. The adults tried to intervene but they failed to create peace between the two.

However on the day of the birthday party it was Maan who was the saddest person as he missed his best friend. One of the boys even laughed about Geet, and then Maan got into a fight in order to defend her.

Miraculously this again fixed the relationship between the two, as Geet found out that Maan had fought against his own friends for her. All was back to normal between them again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time led to change,

Change in us, changes in our relationship.

We discovered new emotions and feelings,

We saw the world in a new way.

Ten year old Geet sat in her garden looking pale but stoic. There was an intense look of despair in her face but also acceptance. Maan was surprised to see her look like that, for just yesterday she had been fine.

"G, what happened?" Maan sat next to Geet.

"Hmmm'M I want you to promise something." Geet said in a whisper.

This time Maan was truly getting concerned, for Geet was always loud and boisterous. "Sure but tell me what happened."

"If I die, look after my parents. You can take all my things, even my i-pod and Wii." Geet's tone was one of a martyr, getting ready for death.

"Why on earth are you talking about death?" Maan asked with frustration. "Why on earth are you so glum?"

"I am dying." Geet blurted out.

"WHAT!" Maan yelled.

"Yes'.this morning I woke up with blood down my thighs'and on the bedshets." Geet explained with a red face. "I thought it would stop but it keeps on happening."

This time it was Maan who paled. He couldn't handle the thought of anything harming his best pal. They might fight but nothing would ever stop them from being friends. "Did you talk to Rano Ma or Mum about this?" He asked, trying to find a solution to their problems.

"No." This time a tear escaped her eyes. "I don't know how to tell them. They will be so upset. Could you do it for me?"

So in the end it was Maan who ran up to Rano and tried to explain what was happening.

"Rano Ma, something happened to Geet." He gulped, trying to find the words to continue.

"Chup kyu hogai beta?" Rano asked, amused by Maan's hesitance. "Did she break something again or hurt herself? Yeh ladki to hamesha kuch na kuch karti rehti hain!"

"Ma, Geet is dying!" Maan blurted out in a rush, wanting to get the words out.

"WHAT!" Rano screamed in shock. "What do you mean she is dying?"

"Ummm'she is bleeding'ummm'down from there." He gestured with his hands between his legs. "The bleeding apparently hasn't stopped the whole day."

Rano felt both equal parts relieved, amused and embarrassed by the story. She didn't know what to say to Maan but knew that he needed reassurance as well. "Ummm'bete it is okay. Sometimes'umm'sometimes people can bleed from there. Don't worry about her, she won't die."

Rano then quickly went to Geet, dragging her back to her room and sat her down for a long talk. She explained to Geet the details of having kids and about the menstrual cycle. A curious Geet kept on asking questions like, "Will Maan bleed as well?" and "Why do I need to bleed to have kids?"

But somehow both mother and daughter survived the embarrassing incident without much harm.

Later as Geet came down, she was met by a still concerned Maan who immediately started asking her questions. "Are you okay? What did Rano Ma tell you?"

And for the first time Geet was very self-conscious around Maan. It was the first time that she understood the difference between them due to their gender. It was also the first time she actually saw Maan as a male to her female.

But Geet was Geet and she couldn't help but relish having information that Maan didn't know. So with great detail she went on to explain her new found knowledge to Maan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

With these changes,

Came a sudden awareness of you

Until the day I realise what you meant,

Until I realised that I had fallen in love.

It was a day like any other but it was a day that changed her life. It began as most days do, in an innocuous routine of breakfast and then school.

But it was a special day, for it was the last day of term for her second last year of high school and Maan's last day of High school.

She wore her usual school uniform, making sure that she had an extra shirt in her bag for her schoolmates to write comments on. That was the tradition in her school, along with the end of year assembly.

She had been apprehensive about the fact that she would have to start going to school without Maan. It was an alien concept considering the fact that they had always been together.

As she got to the school, she was not surprised to see Maan surrounded by a group of females. Maan was considered the most popular boy in the school, as well as the typical bad boy. That lethal combination meant that he always had a group shadowing him around.

But despite all the other girls, Geet knew that she was his special friend. She could say and do stuff with him no one else had the guts to.

"Hey M-master!" She called out to him. "What you doing? That is apart from basking in the adoration of these lovely women." Her sarcasm was apparent to all but none had the guts to say anything to her in front of Maan.

"Hey G!" He ambled over to her, much to the disappointment of his adoring fans. "Here, write something on my shirt."

"Sure." She grabbed the marker off his hands. Due to their great height difference, Geet only reached the middle of his chest, so she decided to write over there.

Friendship is a balance between love and hate. Always and forever, G.

As she was writing she couldn't help but feel the strong muscles of his abdomen. Some reason that made her blush and feel conscious. An unknown flutter went through her as she felt his hands rest on his shoulders, caging her within his arms even while she was writing.

She glanced up for a moment and was surprised to see the stubble across his chin. For a moment she had the insane urge to brush her hands across there and then plant a kiss. She wanted to know how his skin would feel under her lips.

Geet what on earth is happening to you?

She quickly moved back after writing, not wanting to stay in this state of confusion. But Maan wasn't having any of that.

"Where are you going? I haven't written on you yet."

He turned her around and then started to write on her back. Geet's eyes fluttered closed as she felt his hands rest on the small of her back, while his pen glided across. She clenched her fist, trying to control the rapid heartbeats.

"Maan come along!" Lia, one of the seniors, screamed out and walked up to Maan to pull his hands. Geet had the sudden urge to punch her in the face or somehow stop her from taking her Maan away.

"I am coming." Maan said to Lia, but turned back to Geet. "Bye G. See you later for dinner." He reached down and gave a small peck on her forehead in a platonic manner.

But the small kiss was enough to cause a smile and blush on Geet's face.

As she watched Maan walk away, she knew that she had fallen in love with Maan Singh Khurana.
