Half an hour passed…..maan opened his door a little ….peeped outside….where is she….?kahin sachmuch bahar to nahi chali gayi…?maan silently came out …its almost dark downstairs…coming close to the stairs…he looked down for her.
A smile of fulfillment spreads over his worried face…..seeing her curling herself in a ball in d sofa….he remembered…she feels cold in d ac….the house is centrally cooled…
Taking his kambal he neared her to the sofa….covered her fully by it he sat next to her…..seeing her sleeping peacefully in d sofa…
Arre aankh se boond gira koi
Chingari ka tukda jala koi
Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara..
Umeed ko aag laga zara
Sehra ki pyaas bujha zara..
Ghan itna baras ke galne lagoon
Main paani ke upar tarne lagoon...
Behne de mujhe behne de mujhe behne de
Behne de ghanghor ghata behne de paani ki tarah
Saagar mein jaa girna hai behne de nadiyaa ki tarah
Shart lagi hai mar jaane ki jeena hai toh pyaar mein...
Deh kahi bhi ho mera, jaan rakhi hai yaar mein,
,
Maan reached to touch her locks kissing her forehead…her innocent face…dawn's soft creamy rays started reaching her skin…like his touch ……unaware of his should's and shouldn't' s………….unaware of the egoistic world of his……maan singh khurana coming out of his shell…..surrendering himself to her……only to her …….for the first time……he couldn't control himself more….his lips curved in smile of content ….seeing her sleeping peacefully grabbing the kamval….
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai saagar ka kehna,
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai nadiyaa ko behna
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai saagar ka kehna,
Beh jaa beh jaa, hai nadiyaa ko behna,
Maan u r changed…..he swallowed the realization….geet …..miss hoshiyarpur express…..the only girl he felt concerned for ….after his dadima…sleeping in front him ….safe and sound…..he didn't dare to ask himself….why he himself feeling so content seeing her….he didn't dare to get the answer…..he just wanted avoid the dilemma as of now…though he knew the time is coming very fast …..letting loose all the feelings….he just cant control more….he just don't want to control…..like he didn't want to control when he caught her dupatta this night ….. he just didn't want to let her go …let the moment go …..away from him……he may lie to everyone….even to geet ….that he want's her to stay away from him……but how far ..? he cant lie to himself……
Love is a feelings…that grows double triple….even 100 fold…if u try to suppress its growth …the most powerful force created by god …Mr Maan Singh Khurana…..wise….egoistic…arrogant woman-hater cant go beyond destiny …..his destiny is this girl…GEET..
Maan took a deep breath……he crawled to her face…as if going to kiss her forehead…he can feel d scent of her hairs…its addicting ..he closed his eyes….he bent downward…..to touch her forehead….admit it …………………..
Patte se tapakti boond ki aawaz sunai di thi
Nadiyaan mein tapk aur gum ho jaa,
beh gaya beh gaya.
Jo rah gaya rah gaya.
beh gaya beh gaya.
Jo rah gaya rah gaya
Behne de mujhe behne de..
behne de mujhe behne de….
. Behne de mujhe behne de..
behne de mujhe behne de…..
behne de ghan ghor ghata….behne de pani ki tarah
sagar me ja girna hai…..behne de nadiyan ki tarah………….
As he was about to reach her skin…she moved a little in the sleep….that was enough to awake maan in his senses…..he stood up with a jerk..
Gasped for breath…..started moving backwards……keeping his gaze fixed on her face…he clenched his fist ….shut his eyes in despair….
Mera pal pal ang ang bhar diya,
Tune jaan pe junoon sa kar diya,
Mera hai kya jo main haar doon,
Jaan teri hai tujh pe vaar doon.
Moist eyes…….gasping for breath…as if he is sinking in d sea of love…trying hard to keep himself alive……stood there rooted resting his back in d table..he muttered….
Geet…………..!!!
Doob gaye jo suna hai saare
Tere dere aate hai,
Dil ke chullu mein bechare,
Doobkiya gote khaate hai,
Beh jaa, beh jaa, Chal tod kinaare ko,
Beh jaa, beh jaa, dhar le majdhaare ko,
Chingaari uda ke raakh se, ek boond gira ke aankh se,
Chalne ka ishara kar gaya
Kar gaya kar gaya
Sab bhar gaya bhar gaya...
He turned his back to her ……fled towards the kitchen….
From what u r trying to fly away maan…..? u idiot ….nobody could ever do that….nobody could escape d grasp of love….u cant escape from love….
Writer chuckles…imagining the scene……
