School diary Part 10

Flash back'

Geet was taken to the operation theatre.

Dr.Ashutosh:Geet Handa!

Geet was shocked as he called her by her real name.

Dr:I knew it was you.I had recognized you.But you did'nt recognize me.I am your father Mihir Handa's friend.I have visited your house quite a few times.You were so shy to mingle with outsiders that you did'nt notice me.But I had noticed my friend's daughter.I am shocked to know that you are in this condition now.

Geet was nervous.

G:Uncle please'please don't tell this to my parents.

Dr:You are scared?But if you are not scared of abortion why are you scared of your parents?

Geet did'nt know what to say.

Dr:Do you know the seriousness of abortion?Without knowing anything about it in this immature age you took a wrong decision to abort your baby.Do you know that abortion can twist your life?It can even danger your health.It can even end your life.

Geet's tears flowed down.

Dr:I know that you are scared of your parents.But I will talk to them peacefully.They love you a lot.They will take care of you.Now you need your parents more than your friends.So I will take you to your parents.

Geet got scared.

Dr:And it's better to be away from your friends.Your friendship may take you to a wrong place.

That pierced her heart.

G:No.I can't be away from my friends.Please don't blame my friends.They are very nice.They love me a lot.

Dr:They love you a lot.But they are too kiddish to take the most important decision of your life.So you need to be away from your friends.And I will plan things for your safety.

Geet shed tears silently.She was too weak to object.

Present'

Riddhima:That's why Dr.Ashutosh lied to you that Geet died during the operation.

Khushi:My God!

R:But since unlike you I did'nt shift to another place I came to know that Geet was alive.I realized that we did a blunder by taking a decision to punish ourselves by getting separated from each other. But I could'bt find you.After so many years you are back.

K:Geet?

R:Geet was taken to her parents by Dr.Ashutosh.What Dr.Ashutosh said was true.That time we were too immature to take such an important decision.Good that Geet went to her parents.They took the right decision.They took care of her.She did write the public exam.Since Principal's grand son was the one who was responsible for making Geet pregnant she could'nt punish her cruelly.Geet completed her studies successfully.She is a lecturer now.

Khushi smiled.

K:What decision did they take for her?

R:The decision which we found too bold.The decision of which we were scared.

K:What?

Armaan,Arnav,Riddhima and Khushi went to a house.

K:Which house is this Riddhima?

Before Riddhima could reply Geet opened the door.Khushi could'nt believe her eyes.She was seeing Geet whom she thought was dead for all these years.

They both became very emotional.

K:Geet!

Geet hugged Khushi.All the 3 friends were in tears.Arnav became emotinal seeing their union.

G:I knew that you will come back reading my letter.

Khushi cupped her face in her hands:Let me see you clearly.I still I can't believe that it's you Geet.

Riddhima and Geet smiled emotionally.

G:Khushi,now promise that you will never go away from us.

K:Promise.

Riddhima,Khushi and Geet hugged each other.

K:Geet'still I am unaware of your life.

Geet smiled.

Suddenly they hear a voice.

"I will tell you what happened in Geet's life".

They turned to the direction from where that voice came.Khushi was surprised to see Maan.

K:Maan!

Maan held Geet close to her.

M:Now she is Geet Singh Khurana.I married her when we reached the right age to get married.

Khushi became very happy.
G:After completing the board exam I was taken abroad.There I gave birth to a baby.Maan was also there with me.There we both did higher education together.Everybody supported our relationship.When Maan turned 21 we got married.Riddhima had come abroad for our quiet wedding.But I was sad that you were not there for my wedding.Though we 3 were inseparable from each other you were not there...the day I wanted you the most.I really searched for you.But I failed in finding you.

Khushi became upset.
Geet controlled her pain.
G:After marriage we came down to India.

Khushi smiled:Unbelievable.A lot of unexpected things happened.
Geet smiled:Yes.I never expected that my life would change for better when I became pregnant.
K:Your child...?Daughter or a son?
Before Geet could replyan eight year old girl came running towards Maan and Geet.

"Mumma'papa"

Maan and Geet hugged her.

Khushi was surprised.

G:She is our daughter Avni.

Khushi smiled.She was very happy.

She thought:Avni is so cute.God,were we thinking of killing this cute little girl when she was unborn?

G:After seeing Avni I understood what a big blunder we were doing by deciding to abort the baby.If I had done that abortion that time I would not have gotten my sweet little Avni.That time I was angry with Ashutosh Uncle.But now I am grateful to him for stopping me from a sinful thing like abortion.

Khushi smiled.

Avni:Hi Armaan uncle...Hi Riddhima aunty'

Armaan pulled her cheeks cutely:Hi Avni beauty...

R:Hi Avni darling.

Avni stared at Khushi:Mumma'who is this?

G:Avni'this is mumma's other best friend Khushi.Your Khushi aunty'

Avni:Hello Khushi aunty.

Khushi became emotional and hugged Avni.
Mihir Handa and Devika Handa came out of the room.Khushi found it difficult to face them.
Her lips shivered:Sorry.We did a blunder.A big mistake.We don't deserve any pardon.
Mihir:Riddhima apologized many times.Now you also don't start please.
Mihir looked cool unlike last time where he fired Khushi in the school.Khushi was surprised.
Devika: That time you all were very small.Mistakes happen during that age.That need not be taken seriously.Anyways whatever decision you and Riddhima took was only for our daughter Geet's reputation.Then how can we blame you?
Mihir:I need to apologize for blaming you both that day.I should not have behaved like that to two little innocent girls who were very much close to my daughter's heart.I should have at least thought of your tender age that time.

K:That means you both forgave us?
Mihir and Devika smiled nodding their head.

D:We had forgiven Riddhima long ago.But since we are seeing Khushi after a long time now only we got a chance to talk to you.
Mihir:Otherwise we would have given you pardon long ago.
Khushi and Riddhima smiled.Khushi got relief.
D:But we are sad that because of supporting Dr.Ashutosh's decision our daughter had to be away from her best friends.Her heart beats had almost stopped.
Khushi,Riddhima and Geet became very emotional and hugged each other shedding tears.
K:No...not anymore.We won't get separated again.
R:Yes Geet.We will never leave you.
Geet smiled with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly Savitri Devi came.

Arnav,Riddhima and Khushi were tense.

Savitri:Don't get tense girls.I am not standing here as your Principal.Now I am your best friend's Dadima.

Arnav,Riddhima and Khushi smiled.

Sav:Geet made me softer.After getting closer to her I started encouraging my students to take part in extra curricular activities also.Not only that now Geet does dance shows with Avni.

Khushi was really surprised to see her change.
Savitri walked to Arnav.He bent his eye balls like an innocent school student does when he sees his Principal.
S:I am sorry beta.I mistook you.

Arnav was surprised to see her soft behaviour.He had only seen her as a strict scary Prinicipal.
A:No Ma'am...Don't say 'sorry'.Anybody in your position would have misunderstood me in that situation.

But you had the heart to call me back when you came to know my innocence.
Savitri smiled.

Geet went inside and brought something hiding in her fist.

G:Hey girls'do you know that today is Friendship day?

That time only Riddhima and Khushi knew that it was Friendship day.

Geet tied friendship band around their wrists.

Khushi took a music CD from her bag.

K:This is Arnav's collection of music.This is for my music lover Geet.

G:So sweet.

Geet looked at both Arnav and Khushi.

G:But why are you collecting Arnav's music CDS?You always had soft corner for him.Did that turn into love?

Khushi blushed.Arnav was shy.Riddhima and Geet smiled.

R:Look at the tom boy Khushi blushing.

They all giggled.

Riddhima took her chain's pendant and gave it to Geet.She opened it.

It had a small picture of Geet,Khushi and Riddhima.

R:Till now I kept it with me.But now I gave it to you.Whether it's with me or with you both it's same.

G:It's the best gift.It has our friendship's soul.

Sav:During those time I was irritated with the friendship you girls shared.But now I understand it's value.You girls are inseparable.

K:Do you know whether our secret place exists or not?

G:Yes..it exists.Recently also I and Riddhima had gone there.Today's children don't believe in such things.So that place remains untouched.

K:I am longing to go there.I have not seen it for a long time.

G:Though we visited it very often it did'nt have life in your absence.

R:Since we all united it will get it's life back.
Armaan looks at Riddhima:It will get it's life only if you all go there together.The friendship which you three share is it's oxygen.So go there with your friends Riddhima.

Riddhima smiled:Yes,you are right.
She looked at her friends:Girls...Shall we go there.
G:Yes Sure.

Geet:Maan'will you please drop us to our school?

Avni:Papa,please take us there soon.I want to see Mumma's secret place.

M:Now itself we will go there.

Maan took them to the school.Seeing the school building and hostel they recalled their sweet friendship moments.They went to their secret place and kept the friendship gifts they received that day.

Avni:Wow!This secret place is so nice mumma.

Maan carried Avni in his arms:Avni'when you grow older your friendship with your friends will deepen.If so you will also be lucky like your mother.Having good friends like them is a blessing.

Geet,Khushi and Riddhima forgot themselves in their deep friendship.
