Chapter 30

Geet

I don't know hw I managed to get thru d nyt..

My eyes were closed bt my heart n mind wer in a major turmoil..

Guess my sub conscious mind too was working hard to process everything..

I woke up wid a start..

Wid only one thng in my mind..

What had maan wanted to tell me?

Smwhr lost in d chaos tht followed d call fm daadi maa, we'd forgotten all abt tht..

N considering so much had happened..

But still der was a nagging thot at the back of my mind, tht it was smthng important!!

Bt wht?

I had to meet maan.. I had to know..

I was feeling so restless..

I got up to meet him bt then glanced at d clock.. it was arnd 4.30

Too early.. I guess I wud hv to wait for a couple of hrs..!!

Bt hw was I to stay calm..

My restlessness increased as if smthng wasn't ryt..

I paced in my room.. bt it dint work!

I meditated, taking deep breaths.. nothing was working!!

It was 5 now.. I cudnt wait nymore..

I just had to speak to him..

I rushed to his room..

I hadn't been der b4..

But b4 I cud knock.. I saw nakul walkin out..

"geet maam.. u here? Hw may I help u?"

"wo.. I wanted to meet maan?"

"but maan sir just left for London.. abt half n hr ago.. he said it was an important emergency meeting he had to leave for..!!"

I stood der stunned!!

Don't know wht I was expecting..

Don't know why I felt he wud have all d solutions to my problems!!

Weird as it may sound.. but..

Obviously maan had nothing to do wid whatever was happening in my life!!

He still had work as his priority!!

bt I wished he was here..

I remembered hw wen we were in UK even as kids,.. wenevr dev or me wud had ny problems, we wud run to him n he wud solve it!!

Bt den those were academic n childish problems..

N

It was a similar situation at work here!!

Dis per se wasn't a problem..

Just sm confusion..

but

Don't know why I was hoping he wud b here!!

I smhw got thru d nxt few hrs hoping atleast to talk to dev!!

Bt don't know when fatigue of the previous nyt got to me..

N I slept off..

It was maa who woke me..

I freshened up.. still lost!!

We sat down together for breakfast..

Whn I noticed d tym.. it was almost 11!!

Shit I missed talkin to dev too.. he wud hv left for noida!!

"geet.."

"hmm.."

"u r happy wid dis alliance ryt?"

I stared at her..

"wo.. I mean.. whn meer told me tht u liked dev.. I thot it was for d best.."

"maa.. wo.."

"do u like sm1 else?"

Did I like sm1 else?

I dont know..

"maa.. wo.. I don't know it was all of a sudden!!"

"I know.. actually dev came to us today mrng.. he wanted to talk to u bt u were asleep..!! he told us tht he liked u n u were special to him bt bth of u haven't really ever spoken abt it.. n it was kinda abrupt for him too.. "

Thank u babaji.. I was glad dev felt d same way!!

"maa.. dev is a great guy.. bt I need sm tym!!"

"so wht meer said.. its nt true?"

I really dint know d answer to dis one!!

I waited to talk to dev bt he was busy..

Bt smhw his views did help me relax a bit!!

He alwaz made me feel comfy wid his presence n I was so happy abt it!!

It was like I d got sm breathing space!!

I went to work..

Bt everything seemed different without maan!!

No one seemed to know of maan's project bt den no one was surprised either!

Nywaz, thanx to our gang.. adi sir, pinky n pari I managed to get thru d day!!

Even beginning to work on a new project..

Work did make me feel better n nw I knew hw maan managed to forget evrythng while working..

I got back home.. tired!!

I glanced at d clock.. it was nearing eleven!!

Nt expecting ny1 to b awake, I walked to d kitchen, hungry after a tiring day!!

Only to see dev n meer sitting der..

Bt wht shocked me wasn't their presence..

It was d seriousness of their expressions..

Suddenly I had forgotten all my tiredness!!

Dev stood up n walked upto me..

I gave him a weak smile bt he seemed to dazed..

"geet.. we need to talk!!"

short one..

bt next one comin up soon!!
