The other day was quite normal ..with geet getting up @ 5 n opening the shop ..but by the time it was 7 she was getting bit clumsy n irritated as well ..but never showed it to the customers present thr …the reason was non other than MSK it was his time to arrive …
Initially she got pissed off seeing him thr looking at her with his dark blank eyes ..she could never guess wht was running in his mind …but always use to be conscious with him around …though she pretended to ignore him but actually every second she use to stalk him with the corner of her eyes that 30 min were the most difficult ones for her in whole day but today he is late ..n that too whole 10 minutes late …her mind was so full of him …didn't knew y she was waiting for him but yes she was in dire need to see him ..the thought y is he late ..n the reasons were making her restless but damn she is not suppose to feel like this for that weird khurana ..who almost spoilt her career due to his assumptions …
Geet : chado mujhe kya agar woh nahi aaye ...even better uss akro ki shakal nahi dekhi ...aaj ka din aur bhi acha jayega ...
helpless she was …even after reminding her every minute her eyes were still stuck to the entrance …giving up she went from the shop handing over it to the owner Jaspal Singh ..who blessed her with good words n handed over her a sandwich with smile …n she went to her college ..still wondering y wasn't he thr .. the day was super long n too awful for her as she couldn't concentrate on anything but just him ..his eyes ..the way use to look at her ..n then the reason y didn't he came today made her all the more restless but her cluster of emotions were defo taking a toll on her self ..making her numb to her surrounding ..
Its night @ 1 n geet was still up pacing in the whole house restlessly ..
Meera : geet ab tou tu bata hi dee ..kya baat hai ..y the hell r u soo stressed ..?
Geet : I don't know yrr ..I …I just don't understand y I am soo restless ..ajeeb ajeeb se khayaal aarahe hain ..aisa lag raha hai kuch galat hone wala hai ..mano jaise ..
Meera : aaj date kya hai ..
Geet : shut up yrr its nothing to do with …aur mien koi 14 saal ki bachi nahi hoon who will get effected in her P*** days ..😛😛
Meera : well madam 1stly hum koi 24 saal ke budhi aunties nahi hain ..we r still TEENS ..just 18 ..n more over agar yeh reason nahi hai tou kya baat hai …
Geet : I don't know …u know what aaj jab mien shop se wapis aarahi thi ..mujhe aisa laga jaise aas aap ke sab log mujhe hi ghor rahe hoon…jaise har koi mere peeche hu .. I was soo scared yrr ..
Meera : oh hoo geetu …yeh tou tune tab bhi kaha tha jab tum 1st day wapis aayi thi shop se ….ke meer I think koi mujhe follow kar raha tha …
Geet : nahi meera ..that was different uss din …uss din mujhe darr nahi laga ..i was confident …I was not fearing it ..pata nahi dil mien koi galat khayal nahi aaya …par aaj
Aaj aisa laga jaise I lost that protectiveness ..
Meera : now u r not making sense to me ..geet just sleep ..hota hai kabhi kabhi ..aur tera schedule bhi tou kitna tough hai …may be u r over stressing urself …plss relax kar aur thora shant huja …its too late plss sleep now …kal subha jab tu uthegi na dekhna sab theek hujayega ..
Geet : I guess ..u r right hope fully subha tak sab theek hujayega ..
Being an orphan and than living a life all by ur self was a tough challenge n geet knew it … she knew the moment she stepped out of the safety of her orphanage that now no will be thr for her to protect her n to guide her ..its all she for her self ..n despite of all the troubles it is only she who can complete her dream of a successful career.. but from the 1st day in delhi she never felt that the sense of protectiveness that a person always have in himself is lost …. In fact she was really confident with the way step by step everything got easy for her …after some initial failure she did managed to get herself admission in a nyc recognized college of delhi …she is doing really well with her job though its not a very high earning one but yes at least now she is independent ..these achievement gave soo much boost to her self confidence that she never feared being alone …even while walking on the lonely streets of delhi after mid night …it was never like she feared ..but today something was different …she was missing something but what …???
seeing meera setting the bed ..she went to her room's window n stood thr looking at the lonely streets .. wanting to get rid of this restlessness building up in her .. still wasn't sure what was it making her so restless ..
Ulhaj si gayi wohh ..
Siham si gayi wohh ..
Ajeeb khayaloon ki kashmakash mien ..
phas si gayi wohh ..
na jaane kaisa ehsaas tha ..
kyun ankhoon ko yeh anjaana sa intezar tha ..
raat ki gehraiyoon mien yeh kis ki ahat sun rahi thi ..
nahi janti kis ko dhund rahi thi ..
pata nahi kya khooj rahi thi ..
par bas bechain dil ka chain chahti thi …
iss beqarari se nijaat chahti thi ..
lying flat staring at the ceiling she was sleepless ..n then the images of HIM …her strange enemy came in front of her eyes …the way he looks at her ..his slight faint smile … that teasing look every time she trips …that last glance every day he leaves …his aroma ..that she could still feel ..his deep blank eyes that hold so much of mystery in them ..
a slight smile touched her lips remembering when pinky tried to woo him ..n was standing in front him with his favorite black coffee which she made by own self …he actually spit it on her dress …she sat up laughing …remembering that angry red face with which he saw her …but then she stopped abruptly ..
Geet (st) : geet yeh kya huraha hai tujhe …pagal tou nahi hugayi ..kya soch rahi hai …wohh sado ke bare mien …aur yeh kya huraha hai tujhe …subha se uske naa aane ki waja soch rahi thi ..aur abb uss se joori yadien …geet dimag thikane par laa who MAAN KHURANA hai …samjhi tu …aur uss budhe angry young man ke bare mien tou soch bhi kaise sakti hain ..dekh soo jaa ..aur kal subha yeh sab bhool kar hi ankh khoolna ..
Lying down again she covered her face with the duvet ..but only to see the flashes of thr 1st encounter a month back …his bare upper body the tones chiseled chest …his slightly unshaved bear …n his deep eyes ..everything was making her twist n turn with the sudden weird feelings in her tummy …restless she flipped her side …n then again her eyes closed saw her with him ..the way he didn't left her that day ..they we he was lost looking at her …sweating she snapped opened her eyes …n sat up hugging her knees ..
Kaisa ehsaas tha ..kaisi kashish thi ..
KASHISH …kya yeh kashish thi ..??
Han shayad kashish hi thi …😕
Par kaise samajh payigi geet apne badalte jazbaat ..
Jis se nafrat hai …uss hi kya hujayega pyaar ..?
Ya phir waqt likhega ek nayi dastaan …
Ladakpan ka ek naya safar ki lagta hai hurahi hai shoro'aat
Najane kya rung layenge yeh anjaane ehsaas ..

Its been three days ..n every day was same ..with her being restless every second for some unknown reasons she just couldn't understand y she was feeling soo lonely all of a sudden ..everything in her life was going perfect …it was going too good to be precise she even opt for weekly dance classes just on weekends as her salary wasn't enough for her to save the semester fee ..but the problem was she wasn't able to compose herself to do anything ..her focus on everything was loosing n she was major-ly running from people ..loosing that sense of protectiveness around her ..didn't knew y it was happening to her running from everyone n every whr ..she had successfully avoided any un-necessary outing ..the feeling of something wrong is going to happen was engulfing her so strongly that she just wanted to hug her self tight n sit in one corner whr no one will reach her n no will will be thr to see this weaker side of her …
she had always been a strong girl ..never let anybody see her emotions ..but now she wasn't able to point out what was it … affecting her so badly she didn't knew ..all she had in her mind was she wanted was to get over this restlessness …this wrong wibes ..this feeling of negativity engulfing her .. a part of her heart was still wondering to know y maan didn't showed in last 3 days …her heart fearing if thr was something wrong happened to him …the thought itself was soo dreadful n then the second she would slap herself mentally to have even thought of him …who is he ..?? why the hell she is worried for that rich arrogant businessman … she didn't even confronted meera any more ..it was not in her.. she wasn't a person who will show her weaker side to any one …living her life by herself has only made her tough n rough as well …she will say her happiness to the whole world but her fear n her sorrow will just bolt up in her own self …the only place she would forget about all those weird thoughts was her work place that art house …another day was ending n by now everyone around her noticed her being in different ... n finally pinky asked her
Pinky : kya baat hai geet ...y r u soo disturbed over last 3 days ...? kuch huya hai ..?? kahin woh Maan Khurana nahi aaya iss liye tou ..
Geet (snapped at her frustrated) : mien kyun uski waja se disturb hone lagi ..anyway who is he ...nothing just nothing to me ...
over last 2 days she was spending more time thr in shop than usual …but strangely today she even escaped from thr ..wanting to avoid pinky's questioning eyes ...
taking an early off from the shop she made her way towards her home but her doubts were now proving to be true ..thr was sudden political murder in the city n she was now being chased by some nasty goons who were thr to take the advantage of the situation n were performing thr usual thefts n she was thr next prey but she slapped one of them n next thr fierce eyes were on her making her aware of the damage she has done n next she ran away ..escaping from them she running in an unknown direction …her dupatta stuck in some needles by the poll ..be4 she could recover it they were coming closer n leaving it thr she ran away …its been almost 20 min since she was running n finally tripped due to fatigue ..tears rolled down her eyes …n her eyes closed in defeat ..

it was dark n slight drizzling was thr in few areas of the city …she was sitting on her knees in a dark isolated area ..the thought horrified her looking at the place what would happen next with those goons chasing her …n next she found a headlight of a car flashing from the main street .. some how getting up her feet she reached half way but those goons chased her by then …grabbing her arm they were taking her away from the main street when she screamed ..
Geet : Help …help ..plss somebody help me …
They ushered her to a closed shop breaking its locks …It was as if the whole situation went against her ..the goons were looking at her with nasty lustful eyes …another tear trail rolled out of her eye ..n she closed her eyes fearing the worst ..the last thing came to her mind was just HIM …his gesture that hidden smile .. his arrogant smirk ..n those deep dark concealed eyes ..
