Chapter 29

Geet

Evrythng had cm to a standstill wen we were done wid dancing..

I was lost!

Bt smhw his proximity had never made me feel uncomfortable!!

N

Yet der was smthng abt d moment wen he silenced me wanting to tell me smthng!!

bt b4 he cud utter a word,

my phone rang!!

I hated it..

The trance was broken!!

N

The moment had passed!!

But I was surprised to see dt it was daadi's call!!

I hurriedly received it!!

"geet.. whr r u? n is maan wid u? his phone is nt reachable?"

"daadi maa.. calm down.. yeah maan is wid me.. we r.."

"thank god!! Why isn't he receiving his calls? Cud u plz give him d phone?"

I did, smhw confused abt d urgency in daadi maa's voice!!

I observed d serious expressions appear on his face..

I just prayed tht it wasn't ny bad news!!

As soon as he hung up, he told me to hurry up..

We had to leave!!

He dint elaborate..

Leaving me scared by d minute!!

He seemed tense..

Which only made it worse for me!!

"maan.. wht happened? wht did daadi say?"

"she just said its urgent.. n tht I need to get bk home soon.."

I wondered wht emergency had cm up..

Hey babaji.. plz let evrythng be fyn..

Probably if I wasn't tht tensed, I wud hv realised hw fast he was driving.. n hw fast we had reached.. in just abt an hr!!

Bt ryt nw.. I really cudnt think of nythng!!

As we entered, maan rushed to daadi's room..

But b4 I cud follow him, meer came n hugged me!!

She seemed happy.. while I got more confused..

She whispered in my ears..

"u r gonna thank me for dis.."

I dint get d head or tail of wht she was talkin abt..

"wht r u talkin abt?"

"she is talkin abt ur engagement.." maa answered my question.. smiling!!

"MY ENGAGEMENT????"

"oh geet I m so happy for u..!!"

"maa.. wht r u talkin abt?"

"oh cm on nw.. though I shud b getting angry wid u? u nvr told me abt it.. n if meer hadn't told us.. thank god she did.."

"wait.. wil ny1 just tell me wht is happening?"

"oh god di.. !!"

"beta dey r talkin of ur engagement wid dev!!"

I turned arnd shocked to hear daadi's voice wid a sheepish looking dev..

N a blank faced maan..

Whose expression I mirrored!!

I vaguely remember wht happened next..

Wht evry1 said, wht dev was telling me, whn meer was teasing me..

I was numb!!

I dint know wht to think!!

Hw to react?!!

I wondered as I went to bed at nyt..

My intuition was so strong thru out d day.. it had made me so apprehensive..

N it had turned true..

My life had changed..!

Bt I cudnt decide surprisingly whthr 'twas for d gud or worse!!

Coz it wasn't d change tht was to shock me..

Infact it was one which I had desired..!!

Bt wht had shocked me n made me despise myself was d indecision n d way I felt abt it!!

Why was it tht smthng which I had alwaz wanted, had cm true in d most unassuming of ways.. unexpectedly, smthng which shud have been a source of great joy was nw d cause of dilemma for me?

N

Worse still was d fact tht it was related to DD n still I was indecisive n apprehensive!!

DD was sm1 I had luked upto, to bail me out of evry situatn.. he was my support like none othr n yet..

Was it smwhr tht I had fallen short?

Coz he was as perfect as cud be..

Then why was I so disturbed?

Why was I so lost?

N

Most importantly why wasn't I happy after my life long dream had cm true!!

My dilemma abt bth of dem was enuf to drive me crazy..

Dev is a great guy..

DD.. d guy I've loved since I evr realised wht it meant!!

n

Who was maan to me?

Again a question d answer to which had proved elusive..

Again n again!!

My brain told me he was my childhood best frnd's elder bro, daadi's caring grand son, maa n dad's ideal son, meer's veerji..

But d question remained?

Wht relation did we share?

B4 cmin to india, maan was no one to me..

Just a name..

Bt thngs changed once we met..

Tht inexplicable unknown pull, d feel I cudnt shrug off..

Never was a limit crossed.. coz probably der weren't ny!!

N

For sm reasons.. I wasn't hesitant abt any!!

Then we had bcm frnds..

Bt today's events had changed evrythng!!

N d only result of it all was more n more confusion!!

Evry1 had mistook my silence as shyness..

N

Had thus let me go to my room..

I needed to talk..

Talk to DD!!

If nybdy understood me, 'twas him..

N

I cud never lie to him..

Whtever had happened, I wud tell him..

Only den wud I b able to tk a decision!!

B4 I cud dial dev's no,

Meer rushed in..

N hugged me tight..

"oh I m so happy for u di..!! n u gotta thank me for it.."

"hmm.." I muttered absent mindedly..

"wht such a dull reaction.. U R GETTING MARRIED TO DD!!"

"hmm.."

"n u know daadi maa n dad wanted u to marry maan veerji!! Can u belive it? Bt maa thot u shared smthng special for dev.. bt still.. I happened to overhear their convo.. n I had to interrupt.. I called maa aside n told her u liked dev!! Don't worry I dint mention abt ur years of interaction.. tht u shud own upto.. N den I eavesdropped on daadi maa n dev's convo whr he confessed he felt smthng special for u!! bt still its all thanx to me.."

B4 I cud respond back, my phone rang..

This tym it was dev..

Glad at a chance to clear thngs..

I received it asap..

"hi.."

"hey.. geet "

"dev.. wo..i.."

"geet.. I know dis is a bit sudden.. bt I .."

"my to-b-jiju.. ryt nw di is busy wid me.. so u r gonna hv to wait till tomoro to talk to her.. bye!!"

Meer had hung up b4 we cud even talk..

She continued talkin while I was lost..

By d tym she slept off, my mind was trying to process evrythng, bt reaching nowhr!!

Evrythng was perfect..

N

Yet smthng was amiss!!

plz add nats0101_pm for pms

Sorry for d delay.. bt was really busy!!

As for d updt, I know I've disappointed most of u..

Bt evry coin has two sides, we just explored one..

Widout d othr d story remains incomplete!!
