Maan ws not convinced but some how vicky made him believe n he agreed to leave 2morrow morning to mumbai ...
On the other hand in an business class of an airplane ...a girl was lost continuously gaping at her lappy ...seeing random pics n collages of someone ...smiling remembering the past...
N stopped at a pic ...it was their farewell party's picture ..one of their last memory together ...
7 years later
it was the farewell party for the last batch passing out i.e maan's batch...
All the students were enjoying the last night at their school ...partying ...having fun teasing each other some were apologizing for previous deeds ...n some were just dancing with their mates ...
N in the mid of all these ...girls were drooling over on their one n only hotty MAAN who arrived at the party just now ...n was looking at every knock n corner of the party ...looking intently ..restless not finding her ..
N just then some girls came thr ...to talk with him ...he was having a casual talk .. un like to himself he was not at all giving any response to them not even listening to what they were saying ..n then finally met the 2 eyes which were seeing him from the second he entered ...he saw her n instantly his lips curved to a smile ...
dressed in the most shabby way a girl could she was not at all interested to flash her self ...totally opposite to all the girl in the party hall ...simple in a red kurti n jeans with her hairs half tied up n half left loose ...some hair strand falling on her face irritating her ...making her look cutie doll...
( plss avoide the maternal thing here ...but wanted to show hw geet looked like in school time ...)
He made his way 2wards her but ...Sam came in between n started dragging him towards the dance floor ...before he could react the girl left from thr with a gloomy face ..
N the very moment he snapped his hands out of sameera's hold n ran 2wards her knowing where she will be ..
Sitting on the edge of roof top she was continuously stairing at the black shining sky ...looking soo beautiful ..her trance broken with a shivering hand was placed on her shoulder by a panting maan ..
Maan : kyun chali aayi aise ..i was looking 4 u geet aur tum
Geet : mujhe laga u will like to enjoy the last party with all of them..
Maan : apni best friend ke bagair ..!!! ya right
Geet : uss chudhrail ne chor diya tumhain ..
Maan : geet kya itni sad type sound kar rahi hai ...mujhe tou laga tha ke tou abhi sam ki naak torne aayi gi ...jab who mujhe le ja rahi thi ...
Geet : tum bolo tou yeh naik kaam mien abhi bhi kar sakti hoon ...pata nahi iss ke baad mauqa mile ya nahi ...
Maan : ab aayi na meri Janglli Billi form mien ...( n he hugged her side ways while she just smiled faintly in the hug )
Geet : kitna fun kiya hai na yaha iss hi jaga hum ne ...yaad hai har baar exams mien chup kar yahin saath study kiya karte thay ...
Maan : hmm aur last 8 years se humari birthday party ka venue bhi tou yahi hai ...
Geet ( a fat tear was about to fall from her big big hazels ) : han par ab next year kya huga maan ...aap ja rahe hoo mien tou yahan akeli reh jaaongi na ..
Maan ( cupping her face in his palm n removing the tear from her eye lids ) : kyun akeli reh jaoogi ...mien tumhain humehsa call kiya karoonga na ..aur kuch bhi problem ho tou tum mujhe zaror batana Samjhi ...aur phir agar kuch hua tou mien hoon na dadi se keh ke tum se milne aajaya karoonga ...
Geet ( still not convinced ) : par uss ke baad hum kya karenge ...mien tou London chali jaaongi na ...aapko bataya tha na mene dad ne kiya kaha ...
Maan : oh ho budhu tou tum mujhe apna London ka number de dina mein tumhain wahan call kar liya karoon ga ...aur tumhare paas tou mere delhi wale ghar ka number hai hi ..
Abhi plzz rona band karoo ...u know na mujhe se nahi dekha jata tumhain rota huye ..
Geet ( wiping her tears with the back of her eyes ) : theek hai ...tou aap ek promise karoo mujhe mere Birthday pe humesha ki tarha sab se pehle wish karoo ge...
Maan ( shaking his head at her demand ) : okiee promise ...karoonga ..aur tum bhi mujhe mere b,day par call karna ...theek hai ..
Geet ( placing her hand on her throat swearing by god ) : han god promise karoongi ...
The sadness was visible on both their faces ..a silence prevailed by both of them for sometime not knowing where to start ...they both wanted to say soo many thing ..but just couldn't start the talk ...
After few min ..he glanced at her gloomy face n felt sad to look at her soo sad then just to take her out of that mood tried to start the convo ..may be she ill start her non stop talk as always n will be back to herself ...taking a dep breath ...breaking her trance ..he said
Maan : acha sunno mene apni saari practice copies n note books ek saath rakhi hain tum mujh se subha le lena ..phir tumhain refer karne liye aasani hogi maths mien ...theek hai..
Geet ( hugged him out of excitement in the hug ) : sachii ...yuppiee u r the best pata hai mujhe kitna tension tha Maths ka ...humesha tu aap hi meri help karte hoo na...
Maan ( hugged her back with a smile ) : abb mat lena tension ...aur kabhi rona mat ..samjhi
They just sat their for hours ...silent gazing at the moon ...holding each others hands ...looking at the school building remembering thr small fights ...thr mischieves ..smiling memories ...laughing jokes ...
Sharing same rolls or snaching each others pencil in junior times ...manofying each other ...apologizing ...thr punishments ..teachers lectures over thr naughtiness ..
Having the chocolates 2gether ...hiding from others ...scapping from their rooms ...fooling the matrin n gaurds ...seeking shelter on the roof top ...enjoying the cold climate ... praying before exams ..
Their eyes met a long moment ...searching some thing in each others eyes ..but both were un aware of what exactly they wanted to see in each other's eyes ...gazing at each other they were lost into each other's eyes ..seeing their reflection in them ...
A tear fall from both eyes at the same time ...n they lowered their lashes ...
That night was the first sleepless night of their young life ...non was aware why their heart were soo restless when from the first day of this year they knew this will happen they were ready for it then y this restlessness was there in their heart ...
Tosting ...turning on the bed ...remembering numerous memories from the the day they met when she was in class 5 n he was in class 6 ...till their last conversation over the roof top was flashing in front of their eyes ...making them cry ..making them smile with teary eyes...
Next morning came n all students were happy ...jumping with the thought that they were going back home...but 2 souls were just sitting at the entrance stairing at each other occasionally then abrubtly tearing the eye lock... having nothing to say... First time in their life ...they had nothing to say ...yet with each passing second their heart beat was raising with the thought that another minutes passed n only few more minutes are left to be 2gether...
N suddenly they both looked at each other confused with the fear which was building in their heart ...confused with this feeling developing in them ...just didn't knew y they both were not ready to part away ...
N finally maan's driver came n the time came for their parting ...for a second it felt like earth slipped beneath their feets with the announcement of maan's name ..
She was having her eyes closed not able to bear the pain she was in ...not able to see her best n only friend leaving her ...
While he was rooted seeing her face ...confused with his inner feeling ...for the first time he had the urge to crush her in his arm in a bone crushing hug never to let go ...
For the first time he had nothing to say to his best friend ...n next moment he saw her walking off leaving him on the bench ...
Maan was shocked for this moment seeing her retreating figure made him feel like he is never going to see her again ..regaining his senses he rushed towards her ..stopped her holding her wrist but she didn't turned ...n after a second or two ..he made her turn back with a jerk n saw her face full of tears ...
N without any second thoughts he just hugged her tight ...like its the last second of their 2getherness ...she was clinging on him ..crying bitterly ...sobbing hard trying to say between her hiccups ...but was failing due to the lumb forming in her throat ..
While maan just hels her like his most treasured possession ...hiding her from all the world ..wanting the live in this moment ...he just wanted to some how forget that he has to go ...he has to leave ...n live this moment with her ..with his Best Friend Ever ...with his cute ..sweet Janglli Billi ...
She some how gathered herself n parted from the hug with her face fully wet with her tears ...n wipping trying to control her running nose to stop ..n maan just stood gazing her angelic face ...her cutie red nose n her chubby cheek which had tear trail all over ...cupping her face in between her palms he removed the tear trails from her cheeks n she looked up to meet his eyes ...n found him staring at her with a concerned look ...
Not able hold himself he brokes the eye contact n gives her his handkerchief to wipe her nose ...while she was looking down ...making herself believe that he has to leave its just going to happen in next 5 minutes when his luguage will be placed in his car ...he took her hand n placed the handkerchief in it looking her lost in her thoughts very well aware of what she is thinking ..
Taking the hanki she wipped her nose n gave it back to him ..
He smiled n took the hanki from her ...while she just passed him an angry glare n said ..
Geet : hassiye mat ...bua kehti thi kisi ka hanki rakhne se larayi hoti hai ..Samjhe Budhu Singh Khurana ..
Maan ( wipping away the last bit of tear from her lashes ) : samajh gaya ..sab samaj gaya ...par abb tum meri baat suno aur humesha yaad rakhna ...humesha apna dhyaan rakhna ..plzz for god sake stair case dekh kar charna ..maths ke test ya paper mien tension mat lena meri note book se refer kar lena ...( paused ) ...aur mien call karoon tou khud mat bolti rehna rajdhani ki tarha ..
Geet ( making a 0 shape face n waking him on his arm ) : mien rajdhani ki tarha bolti hoon ...dekhna aap jab delhi jaaoge na tou pata chale ga kuan kitna bolta hai ...aur aap kya mujhe giyaan dee rahe hoo ...
Khud apna khayaal tou rakh nahi sakte mujhe bolte hoo ...wahan ja ke delhi ki larkiyoon ke peeche mat par jana vikrant ka bhi khayaal rakhna ...aur dadi ko mera hi bolna ...balke unko meri taraf se kissi karna ...plzzz ghusse mien apne aapko hurt mat karna ..
Aur han mujhe call zaror karna ...next year meri computer classes hongi na tou mien E-mail id bana kar aapko doongi ...phir na hum school ke baad bhi touch mien rahenge ..theek hai ..
Maan : ...
Geet : aap kuch bol kyun nahi rahe hoo ..??
Maan ( maintaining his straight serious face hiding his smile ) ; nahi mujhe laga tum abhi aur bolo gi tu mien wait kar raha tha ...😆
Geet ( make a face like I-am-gonna-kill-U ) : maan aap na ..( n started hitting him ) mien itna bolti hoon ruku abhi batati hoon aapko ( n maan started running in the ground as usual running for his life )
Maan ( while running ) : geet abb tum khud hi itne dair se non-stop bol rahi thi tou meri kya galti ...who bhi bilkul uss sameera ki tarha ...jaise who mere saamne aate hi kuch bhi bolna choro hojati hai ...
Geet ( approaching him ) : MAAN ...aaj nahi choro gi ..aap mujhe uss chudhrail se compare kar rahe hoo ...ruku abhi pata batati hoon ...maan ruku ...aaj tou na aapki khair nahi ..
While running a peon came n told them to stop as maan's driver is waiting ...hearing this sentence both stopped instantly ..n looked at each other with painful eyes n he left while geet stood thr at the main gate of school till hours ...this was last the last memory of her best friend ...
Flashback Ends
She came back to reality n saw a mail in her inbox ...by non other than her Best Friend ...
MAIL : so finally tum India aarahi ho ...i am excited yr ...dekhna chahta hoon ke meri Jangli Billi abhi bhi uthni hi strong hai ya phir 7 saal mien kuch power kam hui hai... see u at the party geet ...
Your friend,
Casonova Singh Khurana.
Geet ( having a grimly smile on her face ) : YOUR FRIEND ...!! Tou aap ko lagta hai ke abb hum best friends nahi hain ...( looking at maan's business party pic with females in her lappy ) Mr. Casonova Singh Khurana jab aap nahi badle tou mien kya badloon gi ...dekhna party mien aapka kya karti hoon ...par agar sach mien aap mujhe apna best friend nahi mante huye tou ..( her face suddenly fall flat with the thought of him distancing ) par mere liye tou who humesha mere best friend rahenge... iss poore world mien mere bare mien unn se ziada kuan janta hai ( a tear came at the edge of her eyes ) ... par pata nahi 6 saal baad sab kaisa hoga ..maan kaise honge ..mene tou unhe kabhi call bhi nahi kiya ..aur karti bhi kaise apni life aur saari problems ke bare mien batati aur who nahi aa pate mere paas tou unko kitna bora lagta ...
Taking a long breath swallowing the lumb formed in her throat ...thinking about the situation in her life ...she closed her eyes bearing the tear into them leaning back on the seat n again went to the lanes of their past ...remembering all the small cutie funny fights n event that happened b/w them ...
Geet's flight landed in mumbai ..n she rushes towards a handsome good lucking guy dressed very stylishly ...n hugged him tight ..
Geet : kaisa hai tou ...pata hai kitne time hugaya mille huye ...ek baar london nahi aa sakta tha ... hw is daai jaa ...n what about your studies ..kaam ke chakar mien uss ko neglect tou nahi kar raha na...

Geet ( with a firm serious tone ) : Sid plzz mien tumhain pehle bhi keh chuki hoon mien maan se koi pyaar nahi karti ..haan yeh sach hai ke maan mere dil ke kareeb hain coz jab maa ki death ke baad dad ne zabardasti boarding bheja tha tou wahan sirf maan hi thay har kadam par har galti par aur har uss pal mien jab mujhe dar laga ...tab sirf maan hi thay wahan mere saath ..mere paas ...

Khair chalo daai jaa se milna hai phir raat ko party ke baad mujhe delhi bhi nikalna hai ..

He came out of his thought with geet's voice loud voice ..
Geet : abb wahin khara rahe ga ya chalna hai ...
Sid : di mien bhi dekhta hoon maan ke samne aane ke baad aap kaise apne aap ko aur apne dil ko ruk paayeiengi ...
