Maan what happened y did u call me here all of a sudden. .. is everything alright!
Hmm... did meera sleep?
Yes ... just now... what happened???
Seeing her beautiful laced with worry n fear was soothing my heart... I wish everything was back to yesterday. .. where we were so happy n all smiles. ..
I gently held her hand n guided her to my table ... as she settled on the chair I settled my self on the ground not leaving her handss... I was fearing her reaction ... What would she think of me will she think I'm taking advantage of her loneliness... will she doubt my intentions. .. as I was about to sit she held my hand...
Maan!
Shhh... Please don't say anything!
He placed his head in her lap n closed his eyes. ..not knowing his strange behaviour is scaring the poor soul...
Geet! I want u to Sign the papers on the table... He said n walked out...
By now she would have read the papers. .. will she believe me if I say I started liking her ... n what abot her dreams... shit I should not have given her those papers. ... I thought pushing my hair back!
It was late in the night! The moon was shining brightly. .. anyone would say it was a perfect romantic setup... on lonely night ... with cool breeze flowing through air... n perfect silence around... But our hero way too lost to notice anything!!
Maan!...
Hmmm...
What do u want me to call u... Aaji sunte ho... Darling. .. jaan ...or Shona!!
Geet! I turned to look at her shocked!
Hmm... she replied raising her eyebrows with a naughty smile on her lips... she extended the papers to me ... all signed!
Patidev would be better right! She said controlling her smile...
Come let me pack ur stuff! We'll talk down. .. it's really getting cold out here...
Looking at the marriage registration papers in my hand n her retiring back I was beyond shocked!
No questions. .no explanations needed... she trusts me so much! N she understood I was planning to leave...
Looking at her packing my stuff so effortlessly ... all lost in her work in hand making sure she doesn't miss out on something! She looked so beautiful...at the moment or was it my way of seeing her changed!
My stuff!
Huh??
I'll do my packing n come. ..
No Geet...
Umm.. wo I'm leaving alone. ..
She slumped down on the bed leaving my shirts which she was holding. ...
Geet! I rushed to her...
She was trying to hide her moist eyes from him n the sudden fear that rose in her heart!! Poor her couldn't even explain her state...
She quickly composed herself. .. n started talking ...avoiding his gaze... asking him to take care... n all do's n don'ts... but the crack in her voice was hard to ignore...as she finished her packing our hero quietly took his luggage n drove off!
He just crossed the outskirts of the city when his phone started to ring... It was geet!
Hello!
Ummm Maan! Today is our marriage day right!
Hmmm
Which means tonight was supposed to be our first night!
Hmmm... What?
U left ur newly wedded wife on her wedding night maan ... I'll never forget it nor let u forget. .. I'll tell this to our kids n grandkids also...
No Geet! Please don't do that. .. what will they think about me... U can't spoil my image like that!
N they burst out laughing!
Stay safe maan!
Take care Geet!
Misthi I'm already missing you wish I could bring u with me but knowing all this I can't put ur life at risk... he kissed his phone n drove away into darkness. ..
With the rising sun as backdrop our hero entered his village...just as they show in the movies... But here the difference was they were duplicate n our hero was real!.. now that was a bit overdone right... but a part of it is true he was here to help himself first n then the villagers!
Now the Thakur's were for a real surprise... facing Maan Singh Khurana wouldn't be easy would it!!
To Be Continued...
