His lovestory...
Geet admired the setting sun as it painted the whole skies orange.Breeze caressed her hair. Maan had chosen perfect place to tell his lovestory..
"It seems like somebody has splashed orange squash on the skies" Geet said lost in the beauty of nature. In response,She heard him chuckling.
"whats so funny about it"she asked.
'Is it possible to splash squash on something except your white shirt???"Maan asked in an amused voice.
"May be i see sky as a white shirt or white bed sheet since it is so vast.."She justified herself.
"yes a bedsheet..and who use this bedsheet???Don't tell me "God"..Maan said giving a loud laughter.
"May be you are right.." She replied with a smile carving on her lips.
"Bullshit" Maan said as his laughter subsided.She could see irritation on his face as she noticed sudden change in his mood.
"whats wrong with you???" Geet probed him further.
"Actually nothing serious..but such poetic comparisons and metaphors irks me...Sun is orange..It is setting..thats it.." He replied in a tone full of irritation.
Geet smiled on his explainations"so you are going to tell me your lovestory in quite straight way..i mean without bringing some poetic emotions in it.."
"poetic emotions???" He scowled.
"yes..like..pari was looking like fairy when i first saw her..her lips like rose petals..etc etc.." Geet said looking intently at his face.
'ofcourse not...I am going to tell you in straight way since you are insisting so much..even i am wondering why Pari has brought me in to it..Its between you two friends..why i am playing the "story teller"??
"May be pari thinks you can narrate your story in more beautiful way"
"story..my foot..I hate stories.Don't expect some kind of poetic comparisions or cheesy romantic metaphors from me..Even i can complete my lovestory before pari arrives at terrace with snacks"
"really???then go on..who is stopping you" Geet told maan before sitting attentively.
He cleared his throat.' I saw pari for first time in a park..She was lost in some book. I fell in love with her..I was scared of her rejection so could not tell her about my feelings..Though i stalked her everywhere after that day but I never confronted her.The day i was informed about her engagement,i felt like i am going to loose her forever..So I went to ceremony..Rings had been exchanged already..I thought I have lost her..I was immense sad..There was nothing left in my life to look forward hence i decided to end my life.So with knife in my hands I went near pari on the stage and cut both my wrists...She was preplexed..As first drop of my blood dropped on the floor.I saw love for me in her eyes,,,She hugged me and i closed my eyes.After that I opened my eyes in hospital and saw her sitting beside me. Finally My love was with me.Later on we got married against hard protests of her parents.I only had my mother in my life whom i lost just a month before i saw pari for first time,so there was no question of someone protesting from my side...thats it!!!"
Geet was awe stuck. He had told the whole story with in minutes without any expression on his face,however pain reflected on his face when he told about pari's engagement.
Arrival of pari made her blink the eyelashes which were fixed on him during the whole narration..
"what happened..??"pari asked putting the tray of snacks on the table.
"I am done with our "love story"..let your friend enjoy the snacks"Saying this he gave a small peck on pari's cheek and left the terrace..
Orange shade of skies was fading little now as darkness of night approached.
*******************************
"Why did you marry him,pari???" Geet asked breaking the silence around them. Both of them were at terrace since last one hour,enjoying the view silently.
"what do you mean geet???" pari was offended.
"I mean,you guys were not like a normal couple,dating each other..As he told me he was stalking you all the time..He confronted you on the day of your engagement and that too in such horrible way.."cutting his wrists infront of you..weren't you scared???how could a girl agree to marry a stalker who tried to end his life on his first meeting with her..." Geet was agitated..
" Love makes you do weird things..geet.." Pari answered looking far away in the sky as geet looked at her face.Her features were not clearly visible due to darkness of dusk. Silent response from geet was pari's cue for continuing further..
"I knew he was stalking me everywhere...but strangely i never felt bothered..I was happy with his hidden attention. Even i was waiting for the day when he would openly confront me...But that day never came and my engagement got fixed..I was not in the condition to protest that alliance..what would i have explained to my parents that " i am waiting for my stalker to propose me.,,,person who is stranger yet familiar to me... I did not know his name even..geet" She said with a deep sigh...
"But then he came to me..All i could see was his face and blood dropping from his wrists...I could not hold myself back and hugged him...Only God knows..how i became so courageous suddenly.."She gave a smile to geet,,
"hmmm..interesting.."geet replied..."then what went wrong..Don't he love you in same way now???"she asked further..
"No..he loves me even more..But his behaviour is getting strange day by day..I can see some kind of suspicion in his eyes"
"Suspicion???" Geet furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yes,, he seemed doubtful sometimes.."
"Doubtful as in not trusting you with some other person...you know that is sign of possessiveness.. Geet explained to pari.
"no..no..not in that way..he has no problem with me being in some other man's company..even he himself encouraged me to meet my old friends,knowing very well that many of them are boys,,, "
"then what..pari??'
"oh geet..there is something that i can feel but can't put in words..." Pari said in helpless voice.
"ohk..ohk..i understand...just tell me what made you consult me for your husband???any incident???" Geet tried to change the topic.
"Actually my mummy insisted me to consult a psychiatrist..when i told her .." pari suddenly got silent..
"told her what???" Geet was curious.
"about maan's weird response when i told him about my pregnancy..He should be happiest person on earth but he was not..he was mute..he was looking at me like..."
"like you are not telling the truth" Geet finished the sentence for pari ,completely understanding the discomfort she was feeling .
"yes..even..he did not let me consult any gynecologist...i told mum about my pregnancy 2 weeks ago..later she called me to know about which gynecologist i am consulting and other details..when i told her about whole situation,she suggested me to consult you.. I know my parents will never trust maan after his suicide attempt in that party..They still think him as an obsessive lover." Tears shone in her eyes..
Geet held her hand in assurance.."he will be fine pari..dont you worry.."to which pari nodded meekly.
"Can't you stay for dinner geet??you will get another chance to talk to him" Pari asked in a pleading tone which made it impossible for geet to refuse.She nodded affirmatively.
"By the way..congratulations "would be mother" Geet said with a smile.
'Thanks" .pari said while making her way downstairs.
It was most "doubt ful" thanks, Geet had ever heard..It felt like Pari herself was denying the presence of child in her life..love makes you do weird things...Geet repeated pari's words in her mind while going downstairs...
