CHAPTER 4
Trust evaporated…
Maan took the white envelope with trembling hands and tore it to open a letter.
Maan… (She wrote…)
Pehle jab main tumko dekhti thi tab mujhe khushi hoti thi…dil ko ajeeb sa sukhoon milta tha…par ab jab main tumhe dekhti hoon toh mujhe darr lagta hai Maan…
Darr lagta hai ki kahi tumhari wajah se main apni zindagi na kho doon…apni astitwa ko na kho doon…I can't lose myself Maan…I just can't…
We are two different people Maan…hum dono kabhi ek nahi hosakte…tum na to mujhe samjhe ho aur nahi kabhi samajh paoge…
Ek bachchi Geet ke peeche jo Geet hai tumne usse kabhi dekha hi nahi hai Maan…you have never seen the real me. You can't understand what I am made of, Maan…
I still can't believe that it was you who I fell in love with. I don't know what made me think like that. You have hurt me a lot Maan. You broke all my trust, all my love.
I am sorry Maan but we are just not made for each other. We are just not…hope you forget me and start a life with a girl who can understand you and your life style and I can do neither of them. I am sorry
Geet…
Maan was in a trance after he finished reading her letter. He fell on his knees, completely breaking down from the crude truth that was in front of him. Geet thought she made a mistake of loving him. He had ruined everything that she had dreamt. He shattered every hope, trust and happiness she had on him.
He couldn't control himself and started weeping his heart out. Others who were present in the room could do nothing but feel sorry for him. He had ruined everything himself. None but him could rectify it. It was all in the hands of Maan. Only he could bring Geet back…if he changed himself. Dev didn't believe that Maan would change. He would never change. Geet wasn't going to come back. Feeling annoyed, Dev and Neha came out of the ward.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'He will not change Neha, he definitely won't change…we have lost Geet…' said Dev, sadly.
'How can you say that Dev, yeh tum kaise keh sakte ho? Tum ne dekha nahi kaise ro raha woh? I mean he is really distressed' said Neha, in mock anger.
'You don't know him Neha, jo kuch bhi unhone Geet ke saat kiya woh sab sirf ek mazak tha…he can never change…he has spent too much time building himself as a person who ridicules other's emotions and he can never become the person who respects other's emotions. He never can. I think we lost our Geet, Neha…'
Neha closed her eyes as she realized the enormity of Dev's words. He was right. Maan would never change. He probably might brood for some days and then get back to his original form. It was Geet's mistake of trusting him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roshan kept a hand on Maan's shoulder jerking him back out of his emotional and painful reverie. He had never seen his brother crying. But today, he saw a whole new different Maan, whose eyes spoke about the person he had become. Those tears showed that Maan truly loved Geet otherwise why would he cry for a girl. As for as he had seen his brother, there were hundreds of girls in his life and he had never seen Maan shed tears for any of them. He immediately knew this was a lot serious than he had imagined.
'Bro…I know aap kya feel kar rahe ho…please bro mat royiye…I can't see you like this' he tried to convince.
Maan wiped his tears and stood up, clutching the letter in his hands. Rajesh came and hugged him, trying to put a lot of untold emotions in that hug but Maan jerked himself from him and turned around.
Rajesh sighed and asked 'ab kya karoge Maan? What is your plan?'
'Geet ko apni zindagi mein wapas laonga…'came a confident reply.
Roshan and his dad stared with wide eyes. They had never seen him this serious and confident when talking about a girl. That girl was definitely something.
PRECAP:
Tum inti aasani se mujhe chod kar nahi jaa sakti Geet…I will never let you go from my life…
