Ch. 3
No matter where I was; her memories would continue to come, I decided to go to the attic where I could embrace her memories in peace.
I took slow steps to walk to the attic walking in my vacant house, which was just like my heart; empty and hollow. The irony of that was they were both once filled with love.
The attic was the most secluded area of the mansion, which was precisely the reason I have chosen in for my hideout as a child. I was the only child and heir of Rohit and Nitya Khurana. My Dadi Ma loved me and my parents loved me. I had tons of friends at school but I didn't have a true friend who knew me as well as I knew myself.
I climbed the stairs up to the dark attic; I flickered on the lights. Memories came back to life as light flooded the room.
My hideout was the place where I had first seen my Geet from, the window of the attic.
Flashback (Maan= 8 years old, Geet= 6 years)
It was Saturday and I had come to the attic finishing breakfast off. I was watching TV sitting on the bed when I heard noises from outside. Curious, I went to look out the window. There my parents were talking to another couple but I didn't care about that. I was looking at a girl who was holding pink teddy in her arms; she had two pigtails and the widest smile on her face. I ran out to the front of the door.
"Maan beta, come here", my dad said. "This is our son Maan", he introduced me."and Maan, these are our new neighbors: The Handas: Mohinder Uncle , Rano Aunty and their daughter Geet."
The girl- no , her name was Geet. Geet looked up to smile at me. "Namasate Uncle and Aunty", I said folding my hands in greeting. "Hi Geet, I am Maan", I said holding out my hand. Geet looked up at her mom as if seeking permission, her mom nodded at her with a smile.
She stepped to shake my hand, "Hi Maan, I am Geet and I am six years old", she said proudly.
"And I am eightt years old", I said slightly pumping my chest out with pride.
"Do you want to be friends?", she asked.
"You bet", holding my hand up for a high five and she smacked my hand against hers.
"Mom, can I show Geet my attic?', I asked my mom brightly. My mom nodded. Without another thought, I grabbed to Geet's hand to tug her along.
And that was the start of Maan and Geet's friendship, or as they would later call each other Beja Fry and Jalebi.
Flashback end
The attic had soft rugs laid out with fluffy cushions to make it comfortable. In front of the rug was 46-inch plasma TV with Xbox 360 hooked up. On the other side, there was a study table set up and a bookshelf to hold our books. The attic was painted in a brightly yellowish color chosen by Geet, before it used to be dull pistachio color. This attic looked like it was set up for teenagers, which it was when they were in their teens and this was their favourite place
Flashback ( Maan= 16 years old , Geet= 14 years old)
"It's going to brighten up the room", she said cheerfully as the servants helped to open up the paint cans and set up the trays and brushes. "And your life.", she added with a wide smile. I watched her quietly as she picked up one of the brushes, dipped it painted, cleaned the excess paint at the edges of the paint can and then brushed long strokes of yellow.
"But my life is already bright with you in it.", I said quietly looking at the girl who had become my best friend since I was six.
"Then it can be brighter.", she said happily. "Hey, come on, grab a brush and help you lazy behind.", she said throwing a brush in my direction. I ducked my head to dodge it.
Flashback end
One of the most important aspects of this attic is that it holds all the memories precious to me; precious to us. I capture all the moments by photographing them. Every wall was filled with pictures: pictures of the family, pictures of us.
I stopped to look at the picture of us Geet's prom that I had crashed. I frowned and chuckled at the memory at the same time.
Flashback ( Maan= 20 years old, Geet= 18 years old)
I was sitting in the attic flipping through TV channels not being able to settle on anything.i wasn't particular in a great mood today but i couldn't place my finger on it. Today was Geet's prom day, both the mothers and Geet's best friend Pari wanted to make it special so they had pulled all stops from a gorgeous dress, make-up, hair do and all.
"Geta beta, your date is here.", my Maa hollered to Geet who was getting ready in her room which she had in our house. It was one of those weird things; I had a room in the Handa house and Geet in the Khurana house. The mothers had done when we were young and inseparable and over the years, the rooms remained.
DATEEE, my eyes widened at the words. That wasn't possible. Geet didn't even had a date. I had asked her casually one evening earlier this week if anyone had asked her. She had said that guys had asked her but she had wanted to go with her girlfriends. When had that changed? I raced downstairs to find out but I had bad timing; like really bad timing. Her date was apparently the guy from her chemistry class Rahul Gharwal who had a huge crush on Geet. i had discreetly warned him to stay away from my best friend but apparently he hadn't listened. i stopped dead at the base of the stairs as I bitterly watched Rahul place his hand on her waist to look into her eyes as the ladies clicked pictures. An unexpected pang of jealousy hit as I saw their bodies close.
Geet noticed me as they finished taking pictures; she walked towards me in her one shoulder royal blue dress silk dress with her hair stylishly tied in a side bun with her favourite orchid pinned at the side. It was first time I noticed how unbelievably beautiful she was and I was left in awe staring at her.
"Maan, I thought you were going out with Sasha", she said mentioning the name of my new girlfriend.
"Geet, you look absolutely breath-taking.", I said ignoring her words.
She slightly blushed and looked down feeling shy. "Thanks", she said.
"Shall we go?", Rahul asked as he came next to her and placed a possessive hand on her waist. My blood boiled at the sight of another man touching my Geet. Rahul smirked at me giving me a 'take-that' look and it took all my control not to punch the living daylights out of him.
Geet nodded at him as she lightly held his hand. Are they like dating now? , I asked myself though I didn't want the answer.
"Bye Maan", Geet said before they walked out
I was left standing at the base of the stairs unable to move for a few minutes.
"Beta, is everything okay?", Maa asked touching my shoulder. I snapped out of my thoughts and marched up the stairs without saying a word to my mom.
I was back in the attic sitting in the rocking chair trying to figure out why the hell was I burning with jealousy? Then suddenly I knew the answer: it was crystal clear and I was a fool for not being able to see it. I ran to my room grabbing my tux from my closet and got ready in record time. I dashed downstairs and was out of the house before my mom could even ask me anything.
I walked in the lightly dimmed crystal banquet hall as couples were swaying to the romantic music.
I'll be by Boyce Avenue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Re5UhC780A
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
And tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
And I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love suicide
And I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
I stood there for a minute listening to the words of the song that described my feelings. One of Geet's favourite songs but I had never understood the depth of this song till this day. I needed to tell Geet about my feelings and for that I had to find her first. I scanned the crowd to find her slim figure closely dancing with that...that Gharwal. I walked up to them and tapped her shoulder. She turned around and was surprised to see me. The Gharwal had a pissed/annoyed look on his face, which I ignored.
"May I have this dance Miss. Handa?', I asked holding out my hand. She smiled and slipped it in mine ignoring the dumbass Gharwal. He fumed in anger before he left in a huff.
She looked in my eyes with a look I had never seen in her eyes as she slipped her arms around my neck as I pulled her close. I touched the curves I had never noticed as I encircled my arms around her waist pulling her closer.
"Maan, what are you doing here?", she asked quietly looking at me intently.
"Don't you know Jalebi?", I asked as I lifted one of my hands to caress her cheek. I looked into her eyes and I knew she knew yet she shook her head negatively. If she needed the words then I would it to her.
"You don't know?. Let me tell you that I am hopelessly in love with my best friend Geet Handa for the longest time and I didn't even know it.", I whispered bringing our faces close barely leaving inches.
Her eyes immediately teared up and I got worried that maybe I had misunderstood and she didn't reciprocate the same feelings.
"Say it again, please.", she whispered as she laid her head on my chest.
"I love you Geet Handa.", I said lifting her chin up to look at me.
"You have no idea how long I have been dying to hear these words, I love you too Maan.", she confessed.
We stared at each other for what seemed like the longest time. Then, we didn't know who moved first but our lips touched each other very softly. I held her chin looking at her profusely blushing face but I couldn't help but lower my lips onto hers again; yet firmly and deeper this time as I began to learn the texture of the softness I had always seen. She locked her arms around my neck again as she pulled me closer. And there we were kissing right in the middle of the dance floor in front of the whole school.
And that was the start of romance Maan and Geet or Maaneet as they liked to call themselves because Maan and Geet were actually one.
Flashback end
We had later found out that Pari had caught our kissing moment by taking a picture. We had adorned the memory of our first kiss on the wall of the place, which was only ours.
Oddly the parents weren't shocked even a tad when we exposed our so-called 'secret relationship '. They had gone to say that they had started planning the wedding long ago and were waiting for us to wake up to see the truth.
Maaneet were tied into the bond of marriage without any delay and our life was blissful. But destiny had other plans.
My parents and Dadi Ma suddenly died a car accident when they had been traveling but Rano mom , Mohinder dad, Pinky and Geet held me together and slowly life began to make sense...
And then Geet...
My thoughts abruptly ended as my cell phone rang. I picked it up quickly seeing the display.
"Yeah, I am coming as soon I can", I said.
I know...you want to kill me by now because i am not revealing the mystery to end your misery...i am so evil like that...no no...i am going with the flow of the story...

Reya
