Oh god, I've exams yet I cant help scribbling...aye pls comment'
I know its stupid...but I was tired of formulas'lolz...so it was just a time pass and hobby of mine'
Geet grimaced at her friend couched next to her."Kya hua?" Pinky gritted between her teeth.
"Muff..." Geet clenched back.
"What?" Pinky asked puzzled.
Geet swallowed her potato chips and said "move and give me the blanket" she said pushing Pinky away.
"You guys are missing Sandy and Stuart's biggest moment" Meera muttered her eyes fixed on the television screen.
"Huh? What's been happening" Geet asked cuddling to the duvet.
"Stuart just said it, he confessed!" Meera grinned. Geet shrugged and fixed her attention on the screen avoiding Pinky who was chewing her chips loudly.
"I wonder when someone will do that for me" Pinky said dreamily. "Kash..." she added "I was in Sandy's place". Meera and Geet turned to see Pinky in the darkness.
It was not totally dark, except for the television and Pinky's torch which was switched on.
"Kash...is a good word" Geet agreed. "But life is not a fairy tale" she added shaking her head disapproving.
"But it still does not hurt to dream" Meera winked. Geet and Pinky laughed. "Kash I was like those Disney princesses...you know...Snow-White or the Beauty..." Geet added.
"Oh god, you want a beast?" Meera asked pretending to be quite shocked. Geet smacked Meera on the arm.
"Guys, tomorrow, we're going to the beach!" Pinky reminded Meera and Geet. Meera pinched Geet on the arm.
"Ouch"
-----
"Sun, Sea and Sand...All S's" Geet said smiling. "So Geet, you gonna swim with us?" asked Meera.
"Nah, I'll just see you guys dipping" Geet giggled and wore her sunglasses.
"How do I look?" questioned Geet grinning.
"Terrific Madonna" Pinky laughed. Geet took off her sunglasses and scowled "I am not Madonna".
"Awww'poor baby" Meera teased.
"Come on" Pinky said tugging Meera "let's go swimming and Geet, if you did change your mind later, do come and join us".
Geet smiled.
She was wearing her usual dress; a salwar kameez, a blue one. She rolled her pants above her knees and strolled on the sand. She scribbled her name on the sand..."Geet".
"Haa...wish life was a fairy tale...especially those Disney ones" she chuckled. "Guess I am becoming too much Barbie's type of girl" she giggled shaking the thought. Barbie was her niece who was 7 years old and had all cartoons stock at home.
"Yooo hooo Geet!" Pinky screamed at the top of her lungs. "Here!".
Pinky was waving madly at her. They were in the water and both were grinning at her. Geet waved back smiling.
"Come on!" Meera yelled back.
Geet shook her head. She stared at the water. What if she got drown? What if she died in those splashing angry waves...
"I will always remain a scary cat if I continue to think what if things..." she thought.
She fixed the horizon. Where were they? Maybe they're hiding behind that rock, she thought.
I'll go and join them, they'll be surprise, she thought and smiled.
She rolled her pants higher and dipped her feet in the water.
Ahh, it's a bit cold but it's fun, she noted. She smiled and started to walk.
Where are they?
Why can't I see them?
She started going deeper and deeper in the water.
I have had enough, she thought. Where are they? Are they playing a prank on me?
Lost in her thoughts, she toppled over a rock and fell in the water with a splash. She did not know how to swim.
She hit the water furiously, using her arms like spades. She was sinking; it was as if someone supernatural force was pulling her underground.
That's it! I am going to die...I'll drown; sharks will eat my body...that's it, the last day of my life...
She splashed again using her hands and legs vigorously trying to balance herself.
Die...Die...Die'Die', the waves hitting the rocks were screaming. Her lungs were bursting.
She felt something clutching her waist.
Sharks, her mind registered.
"Sharks" she choked.
"No" a voice cracked.
A human voice. A Male voice, she recognized. She was being saved! I will be alive! Alive! Alive! The word seemed to be so real as if she was saved from near death.
Maybe Meera and Pinky saw me and called the life-guards.
"Hold on me" the voice instructed. Geet tried to nod and wrapped her hand on his neck. He was cold, as cold as the water.
"You okay" he asked.
Geet tried to nod but could not.
"It's okay, I'll drop you".
The man held her closed to him. She shivered and wondered whether it was because she was just going to die or it was the skin of that unknown rescuer. She snuggled closer and closed her eyes.
"You'll be okay" she heard him whispered. She could not register whether it was a husky one or her mind was playing tricks.
Too much of Barbie's tale, she thought.
She felt safe. She knew she was. Thanks to this unknown rescuer she was alive.
"Here, we're on safe land" he said. Geet opened her eyes. She turned red as she saw she was just inches under his lips. He gently lowered her on the sand.
"Can you stand?" he asked.
"I guess so" she choked. He helped her to stand.
Geet glanced at him for the first time, stared to be exact. He had the muscular body ever with his wet and messy hair made him even hawt type.
Incredible eyes, she thought as she felt her breathe stuck. He was in jeans and shirtless. She had been so closed to him. She turned red as she kept staring.
The unknown stranger smiled. He has such a brilliant smile, she remarked.
Geet stared at her feet. She realized her legs were a little blue. She also realized that it was not just her staring at him. He was also staring at her.
Did she look weird? Nope, she didn't, except she looked so attractive with her wet clothes. Her soaking clothes made her a "Damsel in Distress" she remarked.
"What's your name?" Geet asked feeling herself blushing.
"Maan".
"Nice name" Geet smiled.
"And yours" Maan asked grinning, flirting to be exact.
"Geet".
"Cute one".
"Geet! Geet! Geet!" two figures came running. It was Meera and Pinky.
"We were so tensed! Where were you?" Pinky asked.
"You were in the sea?" Meera asked.
"Yes, wanted to join you but wonder where you left" Geet said.
Meera and Pinky looked crushed.
"We thought you would not come so we went swimming over there" Pinky pointed "and when we did not see you on the beach we went to the hotel. We thought you had already left".
"it's okay".
"You were drown?"
"Nearly drown" Geet corrected Meera.
Pinky hugged Geet tightly.
"This guy saved me..." Geet said turning to Maan but he was not there.
"Who?"
"Where did Maan go?" Geet said.
"Maan'ohhh Maan..." Meera teased.
Geet did not notice that she was teasing her and was scanning the area to search for Maan.
"The one who saved me, his name was Maan..." Geet answered.
"Oh"
"He was sooo cute" Geet added.
"So you mean...he just disappeared when we came".
"Yeah" Geet answered.
"Ghost Boy" Meera said grimly.
"Huh???"
"Ghost boy of the sea..." Meera giggled.
"stop joking" Geet said annoyed. "He was real, I touched him, his chest, his arm" Geet said indignantly and blushed when she realized what she said.
"As I said...ghost boy'" meera giggled.
