MILAN- The Final Destination
PART- 56
Guys don't be sad n support me like u all did till now n those who don't want Maan to with someone else should not worry. Maaneet are made for each other n no matter how many hurdle comes in their path, they only tends to make their love stronger.
I.. I am sorry. Geet said absently to the one she collided with in mall while coming out. She did'nt knew what was happening around her, everything else blurred n what existed was pain n disappointment inside her bleeding heart. Her love failed, she failed to hold him, may be he was never with her. Her life was so perfect, why everything had to end? She did'nt knew when she sat
in her car n when she reached home. She was numb, even death seemed sweet compared to this heart break.
It had become dark n Maan was still with Shreya in mall, she had asked him stay with her n drop her home as her dad had taken the car with him. Maan was dying to go to Geet but Shreya's insistance left him with no choice. She would anyway leave in few days. He thought to console himself oblivious to the upcoming storm.
Maan bete dinner karke jao. Shreya mom said for the third time. He was standing outside Kiya's house n Shreya's mom god knows why was hell bent on having him on dinner.
No aunty I have some very important work. Maan tried again to explain but Shreya's mom once more said n he had to finally agree. His heart was pouting, he so much was carving for Geet but everyone seemed to be against him. Dinner was quite strange he was showered with so much attention like no one else existed. Why were they behaving so weird?
He wanted to finish it all fast n go to his life. His cell rang n screen displayed dad who asked him to come to KM fast. Another obstacle, he could'nt have ignored his dad so immediatly went to him.
How is this? Mr. Khurana asked showing a beautiful Sherwani.
Awesome dad. Who is this for?
Of course for you.
For me? Maan said confused. Why?
For engagement.
You mean Shreya's engagement. Dad why are you getting so excited for her engagement?
Because my son is also getting engaged. Mr. Khurana said as matter of fact.
What do you mean? Maan asked not believing his own ears.
Maan you are getting engaged to Shreya. Mr. Khurana said now serious.
Dad what are you saying. You did'nt even thought of telling me about all this. He was still unable to believe.
I had asked you to give her gifts was'nt that not enough.
Gosh! Now everything was getting clear. Those gifts, Shreya becoming so insistent, her family behaving so odd. Why he did'nt noticed it earlier. Everything was right in front of her eyes n he was so much in his own world that he never payed any heed.
I can't do this engagement. He said not caring about Shreya or the world. What mattered was Geet, he himself could'nt imagine living his life with someone other than her. That was impossible.
Maan how can you say that. Shreya mein koi kami nai hai. She is just perfect for you and this family. Mr. Khurana said angrily.
Dad maine nai kaha k Shreya mein koi kami hai its how I see her. I could never see her in that way. She could be perfect for this family but not for me.
Maan this is no reason. I have given my words to them.
N I have also given my words. Dad I love someone else.
Maan... Mr. Khurana groaned.
Dad please try to understand. Maan pleaded his dad was important, he was his ideal n he wanted to sought everything out peacefully.
NO I WON'T. He was no where listening. You will get engaged to the girl I want n my choice is Shreya.
Dad you are not in a position to talk right now. Maan clenched his fist n stromed out of the Mansion, if his dad was stubborn then the same blood was running in his veins too. He just wanted Geet at the moment, they would discuss the problem n find a way out.
Mahi, Geet kahan hai? Maan went to Mahi when he found Geet's main door locked.
She did'nt told you? She is leaving for London with Beeji, her daarji is sick in Chandigarh. So they all will be leaving for India tomorrow from there.
What? He was shocked but did'nt wanted to waste any time, he needed to stop her. What is time of her flight?
It will take off in 15 mins.
He rushed to his car n headed towards airport breaking all speed limits but his heart beats drove faster. His throat was dry in he felt everything slipping out. He did'nt knew why she did'nt told him about her departure. Just holding his breath he wished to reach the airport before it gets late.
He came out of the car n ran inside the airport, scanning through different faces he searched for the one he longed. Breaking all security he further went in n shouted her name. He was desperate n did'nt care if the world thought of him as insane. God he would'nt let her go. She could'nt go just like that.
Suddenly the loud voice from speaker gained his attention n he dreadfully listened to the announcement which said that the flight to London was about to take off. He looked at plane from the glass window n ran towards the exit door but stopped as the plane ran over the runway n flew into the sky. He was not able to believe the happenings of last few hours. His dad was getting him
engaged without his knowledge n the one whom he needed the most left him not caring to even tell him once. He was also angry n frustrated at himself, how could he let all this happen. Why were the all circumstances against him?
You are late? He turned behind to find Meera. Her face was grim n devoid of expression.
Meera, Geet did'nt tell me that she going. He said but now when she was gone he wanted to know when she would be back, he would somehow pass the days. When is she coming back?
Back? She raised an eyebrow. She is not coming back.
Wh..?
Shut up Mr. Maan Singh Khurana. She is not coming back ever. She left her studies n me. Do you understand what that means we were together since we started walking. She said, her eyes stinging with tears, not of anguish but anger.
Meera started leaving, she did'nt knew what she would do if she had to bare his presence one more second. Then she stopped, holding his hand she trashed a piece of paper into his palm. I thought to never give you this because you don't deserve it but you need to know how much pain you had caused her n Meera left.
Maan looked at the paper in his hand. He did'nt wanted to read fearing its content. He was ignorant of what she thought, what she knew. She just left him with this, a paper how was he supposed to live his entire damn life on support of this paper. His hands were shaking while he opened it.
Maan,
Why did you do this? Why all this had to happen? Where was I lacking? We were meant to be Maan. Than why? I trusted you with my heart but you broke it not even thinking how much it
would pain. May be its not your fault you never promised me anything. I was a fool, I thought confession of those three words was not important. They are just mere words n now they will always
be just words for me.
You did'nt even considered telling me n it hurts Maan so much that I could'nt have stayed there, where you exist being someone else. So I am leaving n will not come back when I can't hold you
back.
Be happy.
Wishing to be yours,
Geet. (Her name was smudged due to her tear)
So she left him again not giving him even one chance to explain. He thought, walking on the deserted road. As heavens were pouring down mimicking his tears, he fell onto his knees because she left him to go through this hell alone.
When love dies,
It ceases to exist.
And the flame that used to be,
Ceases to persist
It feels like a wound that won't stop bleeding,
Like it's your last breath you're about to take,
And it feels like your soul's watching,
And all you can do is pray you wake.
When love dies,
It's like everything slows down to a stop
The tears that came rolling down your cheeks
Are taking ages to drop
To the cold tiled floor
I fell onto my knees,
It felt as if the light followed her shadow,
As she slammed closed the door to her heart
Love died,
I know this because my soul died too.
And it was hurting as much
As all the pain we went through.
When love died
I ceased to exist
The only thing that kept us together...
Ceased to persist.
