😃 PART 4😃
Several days after the annual function passed, both got busy in their respective lives... But one thing that troubled maan was not getting some opportunity to meet or even see Geet. After annual function, the little time they got to spent together, see each other was missed terribly by both... Maan was almost losing it, thinking about her almost all time, craving to talk to her, see her.
Geet too though not readily accepting but she missed the sweet friend she found in him. His caring, his fun loving nature, his hilarious talks.. She missed them.
He knew that at time of girl's arrival, the floor where there class was, looked no less than some football or cricket stadium. Just as in the stadium the audience crowd near the railings to watch the game, here too same way the senior class's boys loitered near the corridors for one reason or another to watch their objects of interests i.e the girls, who would be by then supposedly gathered in bunch in the quadrangle below for their assembly..
It was his helplessness that all he could do was just stare at her in the little time he got, because going to her and talk was no option here, all thanks to the rules in their school.. Moreover it would be so awkward walking in the huge crowd of only and only girls, talking to her... No no, that wont be any good... It would just spoil their image. He didn't care about his, but her being looked upon by wrong eyes was all that mattered to him.
It thus became a routine for him to loiter near the corridors at that time with one reason or another, to just watch or stare at her.. While she stayed total oblivious to this fact... This routine of his was being silently observed by his buddies, yash and armaan... It took no long to guess it all in mins, what maan was upto... And their previous doubts about maan's increasing fondness towards Geet just got cleared.. Thinking something they both made a plan to help his buddy, so discussing it with pari pinky, who were now good friends of them, they arranged a movie plan with them. Knowing they would easily convince Geet to come along, they fixed it and also explained Pinky Pari about maan's liking for their friend Geet, so the girls readily accepted to help their both buddies maan-geet start something beyond friendship...
As usual maan was staring at her, while passing by the corridors.. A cute dreamy smile adored his face as he stared at her lovingly while she did her prayer along all others in the assembly.. Her pink lips moved inaudibly in silent prayers, while forehead wrinkled in pure concentration. As the prayer ended and she opened her eyes, maan came out of his trance and scratched his forehead with that silly smile still adorning his face.
"accha yeh sab chod, main baat toh bhul hi gaye hum bolnaa, kal hum xyz movie dekhne ja rahe hain and you are coming with us" yash said leaving him no chance to argue.. "mujhe nahi anaa" said maan in a grumpy mood "Arre aise kaise nahi anaa, plzz chalna yaar... Dekh bohot maza aayega, aur tu aise mana kar dega toh hum Pinky aur Pari ko kya kahenge! Hum toh already unhe bol chuke hai that maan bhi aayega" armaan said. "pari pinky?" maan asked with a frown, when did they started hanging out with them? And moreover it was long since they met last... "Haa pinky pari, wo dono bhi chal rahe hai na humare saath, aur Geeettt bhi" yash said teasingly stretching the *geeettt part a little. Maan swiftly diverted his all attention to yash, surprised hearing HER name "geet?" he asked shocked.. While armaan yash smirked at their hit, "saala khud aise evidently react karta hai uske naam per, aur hume uske bahano ko believe karne ki expect karta hai" armaan whispered in extremely low voice to yash, who chuckled himself. Poor maan pleasantly shocked hearing about geet, frowned looking at them whispering something among themselves, but shrugged it, at the moment SHE was far more important than their silly antics. "Haa Geet! Wo bhi toh aa rahi hai na kal movie ke liye.. Ab pari pinky ko bulaya toh geet ko kaise na bulate, wo bhi toh humari friend hai naa" armaan answered innocently, smirking from inside... "but bhai, maan toh ane hi nahi wala, toh kya matlab... Chod hum bhi kya force kare ab isse... Nahi ana hoga maan ko" yash faked sadness then to maan "maan its ok yaar, tu nahi ana chahta toh koi baat nahi, we wont force you" but maan was instant to react "Nahi, wait" saying he stopped yash and armaan, who started their bikes to leave "mei.. mei chalungaa.. Its ok, I will come, abb tumne unko bola hai toh it'll look rude agar mei na ayu, haina" maan smiles weakly while the duo laughed out loud at maan's attempts "seriousely maan, u are a very bad actor and liar, tujhse jab nahi chupte tere feelings toh jhoot kyu bolta hai tu?" yash said him smiling amusingly while maan was left amazed knowing they caught him, he looked down smiling slyly scratching his head not knowing wat to reply. Looking up he just muttered a small sorry to his buddies, who actually knew him inside out since childhood, and he was thinking of hiding such big thing from them, so foolish of him. Yash armaan smiled at their buddy and gave him friendly puch on his shoulder, forgiving him, to which maan hugged them both...
The remaining time passed extremely slow for maan since the yearning soul was too eager to meet HER... He actually spent most of time dreaming of her, smiling foolishly all the time, imagining meeting her after so long...
There other side, as pinky pari informed her of their movie plan, geet was totally uninterested, not in any mood to accompany them, but at the constant pressures by both, and many many emotional blackmails she had to agree finally defeated... Now sitting in her bed, lost in thoughts her mind went to HIS thoughts... Pinky pari did say that armaan yash would accompany them too, but would HE come too?? She was unsure about it... If he too was to come, pari pinky would have mentioned him too, but they didnt...
The coming day, outside the movie theater, in one of the biggest malls of delhi stood the boys, near the ticket counter, waiting for the girls... Maan kept fixing his hairs every now and then, being extra conscious about his looks, trying to look best.. Ab kyu na ho, after all apni WO ko impress jo karna hai ;)...
Maaneet looked at each other.. Geet smiled at him politely while maan was lost in her, in trance he just moved his hand ahead which geet confusingly looked at it.. But then giving him a dimpled smile forwarded her soft one too for handshake... The softness of her hand in his bought him to reality, and he looked at their hands and shook her hand slowly.. Muttering a slow 'hi' soon after their handshake, maan kicked himself mentally "seriousely maan! Handshake!" he unbelievebly rolled his eyes at himself...
Every one moved to the movie hall, where after reaching armaan yash told them that 2 of the seats werent in one row with others, it was few rows away... "Ab kya karenge? Sab saath mei baithte kitnaa mazaa ataa... But ab 2 logo ko alag baithna padega" pinky said sadly... "but main baat yeh hai ki wo do log honge kon?" pari said worridly... " dont worry yarr... Ab seats hi aise mile toh hum kya karte... Waise bhi itni mushkil se mili hai yeh seats bhi... But ab question ye hai ki alag se baithega kon" armaan said pretending to think, winking at yash slightly "kya kare bhai abb! Are haan... Maan tu baith ja na plz un seats pr, dekh ladkiya akeli baithengi nahi, aur armaan aur mei toh humesha last row hi prefer karte hai... Tujhe koi problem bhi nahi hogi... Toh tu baith ja na yarr..." yash said to Maan who was standing there with casually with hands in pocket waiting for them to solve the matter themselves..
Geet nervousely was looking here and there. They were a little early and the movie had time to start. She sat there awkwardly fidgeting in her seat... This was the first time she was away from her friends, her friends usually never left her alone, but today god knows why they had to pick her only, to sit here all alone... Well not totally alone, which she was thankful, she thought glancing at Maan. He was her friend too, 'yes Geet maan is ur friend, u'r not alone... Woh hai na tere saath, toh itna ghabra kyu rahi hai.' She thought in her mind chidding herself...' Woh bhi toh akela hai naa. Uske bhi toh dost nahi uske saath, koi na chal ajj unki hi company enjoy kar le'. She thought smiling a bit seeing him looking around in boredome.
'godd maan, tujhe ho kya gaya hai? Why the hell am i behaving so foolish' the said frustatedly brushing his hairs... ' firstly take a deep breath (taking a long breath) now release (releasing it) *phew ok now control... Yaha finallyyy u got the opportunity to be with her, talk to her, know her.. Aur tu hai ki apni madness mei sab spoil kara ja raha hai' he chidded himself 'but yaar, karu bhi toh kya, woh lag bhi toh itni cute rahi hai, uski smiles, uske gestures sab dekh ke toh meri saas hi atak jati hai' he thought lost in her 'haayyee, god Geet why whyy you had to be soo perfect' maan said with a cute pout, blaming her. "Excuse me sir, your order" said the person at the counter, handing him his order, bringing him to present "hmm" saying he took the order after paying him and moved back to the hall 'maan now dare u do something foolish anymore, relax yaar, just try being yourself' maan ordered himself before coming to his seat.
After all those chidding and cursing sessions that he had with himself, he was pretty much back in his bindaas mood. His extra joyous personality, sense of humour, just hooked Geet.. She was tired laughing on his extra hilarious comments during the movie.. Let the scene be funny or extra emotional, his casual comments about the actors, dialogues were such that she just couldn't help herself crack up laughing..
While on other side, her laughing, smiling face was just pure bliss for maan... He felt blessed to have been capable of making her happy, while that adorable smile too didn't leave his face watching her so happy.
After movie ended, their friends joined them back, praising and going gaga over the movie... While the others were busy discussing the movie, geet's smile couldn't leave her face. Which was noticed by her buddies ofcourse, "kya huya Geet? Itna muskura Kyu rahi hai?" pinky asked her amazed, to which Geet just dismissed it nodding a no, and looked at maan once again.. How to tell why was she smiling, laughing this much! Maan looked at her smiling at him and he too winked at her naughtily at which she shooked her head thinking uff maan and his antics.. But whatever it was she just loved all of it, his company, his antics, his silly but successful attempts to keep others happy. Her respect for him just kept increasing by each passing moment.
They sat there in the Mc D enjoying their foods, laughing, talking, teasing each other.. Maan who was looking in his phone sipping his coke just got an idea... Looking up he casually asked the girls "you guys must be on watsapp naa?" to which Pari pinky nodded "cool! Then we can anytime chat there, what say?" saying so the three exchanged their numbers.., "Geet tum?" maan asked her afterwords "haa mei hu toh, but i don't use it that often" Geet said "are toh kya ho gya! Ab use kar lena" maan said naughtily "but.." before she could continue maan cut her in mid "uff no but and if... Tum mujhe do" saying maan just grabbed her cell lieing on table as if it was most casual thing and before she could protest further, fed his number in hers and took her number, giving a missed call on his.. "Done" said maan with a dimpled bright smile, giving it back to her, while Geet too couldn't say anything to him.
After their meal they all roamed a little in the mall, and after that all of them had to bid bye to each other.. Promising to be in touch
