As the sun peep from the window passing through the thin layer of curtains, another bright morning was here. The bird twitter was filled everywhere. It was bright, it was sunny, the perfect day in mid June. At 10 o'clock in the morning it was the time for people to step outside and start enjoying the typical summery day on a Sunday, almost for everyone but except for one.
She was sleeping like a princess on her comfortable bed. The windows were open in her single room as it let the light breeze to pass in. The fragrance of the fresh morning was filled within the room while she hid her body under the thick duve. She twisted trying to find her fevourite corner on the pillow which will help her to sleep more. Dreaming off in her own little dream land Geet pulled up the duve up to her chin as a gentle smile sat across her lips. Her face was glowing as her face expressions changed slightly according to her dream sequence, her eyes were tightly shut as she looked as calm as ever.
''WHO LET THE DOGS OUT WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF''
Geet eyes flicked open hearing the familar sound, the shocked, astonished Geet strike right up from her bed as she kneel down looking for the source for the noise. As she listen to it carefully while the information process to her brain she realised the femouse song but it stopped suddenly. She slump back down on the bed, while her body wants to curl back into her comfortable position and as her eyes lazily close together, she layed back on the bed.
''WHO LET THE DOGS OUT WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF''
The almost shut eyes opened once again but this time annoyed and irritation clearly visible on those big brown eyes. She angrily took her duve off her body as she sat straight on the bed. 'What the...' whisper Geet with anger as she listen carefully trying to figure out where the song was coming from and who exactly dare to put such a song early in the morning to ruin her beautiful dream. The song was so close to her as if she can feel it coming from somewhere closer to her. 'Who let the dogs out haan? I'll tell you know who did!' saying this Geet got up from the bed, figiting with her top and pyjama troussers, Geet came towards the open window. Looking out from the window she once again start her mission to find the source playing this song non stop. But unfortunate for her or fortunatley for that someone else the song stop.
'Hmph... got scared now did you...' feeling proud about herself Geet came and sat on the corner of her bed, on top of the duve. As she sat there lazily she was almost to drift off to her sleep land when suddenly her body start vibrating, and once again for Geet's unluck it began, again ''Who let the dogs out woof woof woof woof'' but this time much softer, Geet wasnt stupid so she slightly understood the situation, the unbelievable situation, getting up from the bed she flick away the duve. For her horror she finally found the source, her jaw dropped open while she stare at her mobile as if it was an alien object. '3 Miss calls?!?!' asked Geet in disbelief. At the same time the usual ringing tone came out of the laptop which was sitting on the side table and turned on.
'WHATS YOUR DAMN PROBLEM WOMAN! ANSWER THE FRICKING PHONE WHEN I CALL YOU!!' screamed a female voice from the other end which almost made Geet to jump out of her skin. 'Phew! Hey good morning little sistah!' said the same voice but with a sudden change in tone of voice, much calmer. Putting herself back together and calming herself down after all the weird situation early in the morning Geet let out a lazy sigh. 'Good morning Miss Anwesha Banerjiii' said Geet dragging the name and almost screaming. 'Oyeh why the video not on?' asked Anwesha from the other side. 'Cause one, I dont want to start my day seen your face and two, I dont want to scare you by showing how ugly I look EVEN in the mornings' said Geet as she start cleaning her room by making the bed proper.
'Oh please! Give me a BREAK! Do you know how many guys have asked me for your number... You seriously have no clue... you were looking smexy red hot in that red dress yesterday!' said Anwesha as if she was saying the most exciting story of her life 'Oh really now?!!' asked Geet in same excited manner before laughing out loud. 'Please sister you are not talking about me then comon now we all know that I dont look that smexy or whatever and I dont fit under that description of yours' said Geet not minding at all about the praising she gets, but playing with her phone 'You know what just f off' said Anwesha kind of getting angry at her young cousin sister 'aah? Language Anu!' said Geet with a stunned voice 'Shut up!' said Anwesha in reply 'Okay...' said Geet letting out a small chuckle. After being in silence for while they both start laughing out loud.
'Oii your 20 years old now... Why dont you act like one huh?' asked Anwesha getting all seriouse. 'Well then your 25 years OLD so please act like one' said Geet sternly as a reply while she sat down on the bed comfortably in front of the laptop. 'Oh pwheleaseee... I do ACT like my age thank you very much!' said Anwesha in reply 'Oh yeh then I wonder who switched my ringtone and that too... under your name hmm...' said Geet as a saracasm while acting dumb 'Oh that! thats your fault...' said Anwesha feeling proud about herself '...shouldnt let me have your phone yesterday then' she continued while Geet just left speechless 'By the way how was the morning call... I mean wake up call... enjoyed it...?' asked Anwesha with a hint of victory. 'You just wait for it...' said Geet, a clear challenging tone was hidden in her reply as she narrow her eyes wishing Anwesha can see her right now. 'Oh yeh what you going to do LITTLE sister...' asked Anwesha as if she was pittying her. 'I am gonna put all those dogs back in where they came from...' said Geet with an evil smile, proud with her come back plus the double meaning saying.
'Shut up! you better not do anything... cause I know who you like... I know who you lurrrv' said Anwesha like a little kid. A flash of excitment ran through Geet as her lips curled up in to a smile, cheeks flushing with a hint of red as she put a strand of hair behind her ear. Her eyes twinkle with excitment as yesterdays memories flash right in front of her eyes. She let out a small laugh remembering those beautifull moments. A current of joy pass through her body as she looked at her hand where he hold her hand tight. Yesterday for her was one of the best days of her life, she enjoyed it a lot specially because he was there with her dancing together. 'Oyeh kya meri behen sharma rahi hain??? Oh my god! Geet Handa sharma rahi hain!! I dont believe this... congratulation your turning into a girl!' said Anwesha screaming on top of her voice all excited for her young sister. 'SHUT UP!' said Geet immidiatley as she came out of her trance, she hates it when her sister knows her exactly inside out its not fair at all, it was her unfortunate that both Anwesha and Geet turn out to be so much alike except for their behavior, while Anwesha is a hot minded, arrogant, independent girl, Geet is much calmer, naive, easy going girl. Looking here and there just in case if anyone heard her stupid sister, Geet shushed Anwesha up. 'If you say that out loud ever again I am going to tell everyone about your secret!' screamed Geet loudly as she can be but making sure no one is around ear dropping. 'Mr. Jeeja ji' she sang with a joy in irritating Anwesha.
'Oyeh look Miss tomboy is here! Wait let me add her to the conversation okay?' said Anwesha going silent for a while. Geet nodded her head as if Anwesha can see her, she was still in trance of last night, as all those memories of him and her flash right in front her eyes. She went back into the day she met him. It was a weird situation she never thought they will actually come together like this. The feelings he awakened within her, those weird feelings that she never thought she will feel. That night when she saw him for the first time she never thought this friendship will go this long to make her feel like she feels today.
'HEY SEXYYY!! Oyeh Geet Miss flashback! where are you lost in.. Oh wait who's thoughts are you lost in?' said another girl voice that Geet recorgnise very well of. 'HA HA HA... Very Funny! NOT PARI!!' said Geet flushing with redness as her cheeks heat up from embarassment. She was glad that the two cant see her right now otherwise she will be dead with embarassment. 'Hey how is Jake?' asked Geet with intention of changing the subject. 'Oh he is history now' said Pari carelessly. 'WHAT?!' Both Anwesha and Geet asked in unison 'Chill babes relax... I dumped him' said Pari without any change in her voice tone, no regret, not upset or any of the kind. 'He was there at the party with us yesterday?? I got to know him only yesterday... I mean what are you on about??' asked Geet clueless of what is going on with her friend's life. 'I know... BUT I found out he is cheating on me! so I dumped him... big deal...' said Pari. For once in the whole conversation Geet and Anwesha witness a sarrow, unhappiness, hurt in Pari's voice but it took over immidiatley.
'Anyways dont worry Pariii you will find your love one day.. I plomish you that... there is true love exit in life... and any way if you find the perfect guy there wont be any kind of problems...' said Anwesha trying to console Pari but Pari being Pari reply her with a casual talk 'Yeh cool... Oh wait like you and jeeja ji?' asked Pari teasing Anwesha. No matter how Anwesha's these words actually got into Pari's little brain but it really got into Geet's.
Geet is a girl who strongly believe in love, but that one day when she witness the grey side of love, how someone's heart broke in front of her, she just couldnt get that off her mind, that someone can be this self centered when it comes to love. It been almost 2 years to that day but once in a while those memories really irritates her and reminds her the hurt which makes her feel innsecure sometimes. While Anwesha's and Pari's little fights and voices fade off into the background, Geet layed down on her bed going back into a flashback of that memory which is now almost 2 years old.
------- Flashback -------
She didnt want anything to do with him, or with his love, turning her back she slowly walk away from him and away from everything. 'Samira...' he plead in hope that she will stop, come back and say all this was just a joke. Or he will wake up from this nightmare and will face a new bright day where its only him and her. Realising neither this is a nightmare where he going to wake up with everything just the way it is, nor she is going to be back as she dissappeared into the darkness, he tried to control himself. His knees were feeling weak as he fall on to the ground, he just want to let it out, but how he didnt knew. He wants to cry out loud but suprisingly tears werent there, he felt weak but anger was over taking him. Witnessing all this was Geet hiding herself in the corner and stopping her tears, but they were endless tears and was not going to stop. She stare at his back with lots of questions and hurt hidden in her eyes, only questions but no answer. She was not brave enough to be the one to console him, he was still a stranger to her and did not want to embarrass him either letting him know that someone else has witness his loss also.
He stayed kneel down staring at just the distance without a movement in respond. Geet was confused she didnt know what to do, how to become the medicine to his hurt, to his wound. She wanted to but something was keeping her back. She sure is bubbly and very lively person, would be the first one to help if someone was in need of help but he was a stranger, she didnt knew what kind of reaction she should give him. She was confuse, she felt as if she was at fault.
With heavy heart she tried moving her body which have given up moving after seen a heart breaking moment in front of her very own eyes. Suddenly the guy who was still as if he was lifeless moved, seen this Geet quickly decided to backaway hiding back into the darkness. He got up on to his feet, clenching his fists as his breathing pattern became quick, he hit the nearby candles with his foot while walking away to the other direaction. Within seconds like the wind he was gone, Geet's arm reached out to call him but she force herself to stop, knowing it was not something she should do. But she stare at his retiring back walking away into the darkness. She was heavy hearted to see him walk away knowing the fact that they would never see each other ever again.
------- Flashback Ends -------
'Ooo so...' asked Pari, this startle Geet making her come back in to the present, she had no idea about what both Pari and Anwesha were on about but she pretend to know. 'So?' asked Geet in reply trying to hid that memories which troubles her from away from her friends. 'So.. hmm are we like going any where else with this conversation?' asked the impatient Anwesha. 'Lets talk about our Geeet' said Pari getting very excited. Seen both her friends excited Geet wish the ground to just open up and suck her in right now. She was getting way too many attention which she hates, sometimes she regret the fact that she told them about him, but too late now and she knew if best friends dont pull each others leg then who will. 'So you guys met where did you say?' asked Pari as if she have forgotten everything, which was clearly a lie. 'I am not telling...' said Geet pretending to be angry as she went up leaving all the memories behind to collect the laundry and tidy the room.
Both Anwesha and Pari kept on teasing poor Geet as she found one way or another to escape these questions firing at her from them. At the same time Geet made sure she clean the whole room, putting away the clothes she wore the night before, putting her messy make up away into the proper places and etc, etc. 'By the way...' said Anwesha in a seriouse tone which got both Pari's and Geet's attention '...Geet no jokes.. but seriously yaar I forgot his name, can you please repeat my future Brother-in-laws name pretty pleasee?' plead Anwesha. At first Geet didnt buy it, it was not possible for anyone to forget his name, or was it just her that he have taken over her thoughts 24/7 that she felt this way, was she that obsessed about him. After getting fully convinced that Anwesha is not tricking her, Geet decide to talk about him first time for the day with them.
Geet couldnt stop but to blush, it was silly but the feeling inside her was errupting and screaming how much she likes him. A weird feeling was taking over her inner feelings. His innocent face was flashing when she closes her eyes. All those moments she had with him, all those conversation she had with him on the social networking site she just remember them very clearly. She was in a different world when she start to think about him. Away, far away from the earth somewhere people might call heaven where it just him and her exit. She gently swift herself towards to one of the open windows, clutching hard on to one of her scarfs and unconsciously playing with it as the nervousness took over her. She slightly bend towards the window frame resting her body gently on it, breathing in the fresh air her eyes shut instantly. 'Dev...' she whisper as she thought about his name. The one who have stolen her heart who made her fall in love.
