The Myth

( Lots of thanks nd hug to cute-Aly for this beautiful banner )

The test of a true myth is that each time u return to it , new insights and interpretations arise.

A saying Or belief Or fact Or superstition Or Myth ... these words play an important part in ppl's life ,, many blindly believe or live their lives on some belief nd myths ,, from d time of d bith of a child to till his/her end some belief never left them ,, those ppl trust a priest who himself a human being nd it's also said that human is a bundle of mistakes ,, then how cn a priest be trusted blindly ? Does a priest's words r more important than an innocent child ? If yes then where is humanity , love , care nd family bonding ? Where r relations nd their warmth ? Where is Truth nd Reality ?

I hate you yet I like you. Everything is all over the place.
For some reason you are the first person I think about when I wake up.
The last person I think about before I sleep.
And the only person that is in my dreams.
I guess what I am saying is that I am not completely over you.
Not yet.
I should be but for some reason I am not.
All these questions are flowing through my mind and there are things I want to say but I don't have the guts to.
I won't be able to confront you so I hide it all away.
I put it in a box and hide the box in my closet.
What I am trying to tell you is that I guess I still like you but I don't like how you treated me.
If you want shit to be back the way they were before that day, figure out how to get it like that.
And maybe I will forgive you.
Until then, I stay to myself.

Geet spent d time with wrkrs nd d kids ,, she instructed them to dig that small peace of land with spads ,, d wrkr lady evened d land ,, her kids wr sitting with Geet , nd enjoying d cakes nd pies given by Geet ,, she sply brought for those kids ,, wrkrs divided d land in small beds to sow diff veggies ,, Geet gave them seeds nd they spread them mixed them with soil ,, they wr happy that they cd get fresh green veggies after some days ,, Geet taught d kids not to spoil d plants , nd they had to take care of d kitchen garden to get their fav veggies ,, kids wr excited nd happy ,, Geet told d lady to send d kids to prim school , but she got a disappointed reply ,, 1^st they wr new nd migrated there so d amish school didn't allow their kids in their school ,, Amish ppl nd culture is very diff ,, they r very traditional nd pertiucular in this mod age too ,, Geet read about them ,, there was only one room school in every village nd amish ppl get only sec edu , so edu for wrkrs kids was tough to get here , she thought to bring some elementary edu books to teach them there .

In all this Geet forget track of timend came in sence when got d call from Kabir nd DJ ,, they talked to her for few min ,, it was mrng there nd they had to visit embassy ,, Sun had set nd it was getting dark ,, Geet came in d van nd started preparing dinner ,, her mind was drifting towards Maan , who was getting late ,, though there wr a lady , small kids nd 3 men wr there lil away from her van but she was restless ,, a fear was there in her heart ,, when Maan was around her she was free from this insecurity , but in his absence she felt alone ,, every small sound in outside alert her nd she looked out from window ,, closed d Van's door properly from inside ,, area was lit with solar lights , kids wr playing outside of their tent , but her mind was thinking about Maan .. where was he ? why he became late ? She cdn't contact him bcoz she didn't have his phone number .

Geet was becoming restless ,, trying to keep her calm nd busy in work ,, half of d dinner was ready ,, she was preparing dough for chapatti when she heard sounds at gate .

She peeped out nd saw a beautiful buggi was entering there ,, d wrkr closed d gate ,, d buggi stopped near tents , nd Maan came out from that ,, Geet was confused , why he brought d buggi inside , was there any heavy luggage ? Maan started talking to coachman nd indicated towards office tent nd bore-well ,, instructed something to wrkr ,, Geet didn't get anything nd went to wash her hands ,, now she was angry at Maan for getting late ,, she need his help to start d gen to charge d Van inverter ,, she started waiting for him ,, when Maan entered in d Van with a satisfied smile he got a blow of countless Qs ...

Geet: u got d time to come , where wr u ? why did u come late ? I told u to come before getting dark , but why wd u listen me ,, who am I ? do u know how much I was worried ? It get dark, nd I was alone , don't u think about me ? one side u said that u won't live me alone nd see what u r doing ? where r u nd why u bring this buggi here ? who is he ? why r not replying me ? Bolo dekh kya..

Maan placed his finger on her lips to shut her ... chup , bilkul chup ,, aur koi sawal nahi .

Maan was staring at her nd listening her non-stop questioning ,, few words from her mouth soothe his heart , feeling that she was worried for him nd waiting for him eagerly ,, his presence around her made her secure ,, he felt bad that she was tensed , feeling alone nd scared ,, he wanted to reply her but she didn't give him any chance to speak ,, Geet was staring at him .

Maan: jawab to tab du jab tum mujhe bolne ka chance do ,, dekhty hi shuru ho gai lady hitler banker , chup ab ,, let me speak .

Geet's lips trembled under his finger nd Maan felt that nd d softness ,, his eyes wr her lips ... soft pink plummy lips ,, that trembling was so tempting ,, desiring him to touch more ,, he wanted to caressed them with his thumb to feel that softness more nd more , but keeping stone on his heart , buried his desires deep in his heart , maan slowly rub his finger on her lower lip nd removed .

Geet too was stunned at his action ,, his touch on her lips sent many ripples in her body ,, she smacked her mind for losing her control like that , nd asking him QS like that ,, that showed her weakness ,, she didn't come here hoping for any support ,, that was by chance that she found him here , nd she landed here, stuck in last night rain , but why she was behaving like this ? Geet u r really stupid ,, 1^st planned to come here like this nd put urself in this fix ,, now behaving like this ? control .

Maan removed his finger nd Geet turned side waiting to his reply ,, Maan's eyes wr at her face her ,, his eyes went on her forehead where he saw some flour , stuck in her hair ,, he started replying her Qs one by one .

Maan: when u decided to stay here , I though for ur health nd need ,, a transport is must to have here ,, I cn't take any risk , what if u feel any prob ? so I went to village to hire a buggi for u,, he'll stay here for 2 days ,, only went to his home in d mrng for 1or 2 hr then come back ,, I also got a man to plough d farm ,, he'll come in d mrng ,, ppl don't use mod tech so we have to hire these traditional ways nd their helps ,, asking , meeting nd talking with many ppl I got late ... Sorry .

Maan smiled nd raised his hand to remove that dough particles from her hair ,, which startled Geet again , nd she looked at him .

Maan: ye atta lagana beautification mei aata hei kya ? see .

He removed that nd show her ,, geet fumbled .

Geet: nahi ,, wo ,, I was preparing for dinner , nd thanks for all this ? there was no need to fear,, I m fine ,, u r thinking too much .

Maan: I cn't do anything else accept thinking ,, any way , now relax ,nd sit to rest ,, rest of work i'll do ,, coming in few min after changing .

Geet: no , 1^st start d gen .

Maan: Oh yeah ,, just doing . Maan went to start gen , nd Geet drank some water nd brought a glass for Maan ,, she was feeling relxed , may be bcoz of Maan's presence ,, she realized Maan'e importance in this situation ,, Maan changed in to his casual wear nd joined her ,, Geet handed him water nd went to kitchen ,, checked d bowl of custard nd kept that in fridge , took our fruits to cut ,, Maan saw that nd took d plate nd knife from her hand .

Maan: u already did a lot , now take some rest with free mind , i'll cut them .

Geet: Ok , as u wish , but I have to make chapaties , u cn't make tham .

Maan: I cn , try me .

Geet: no , I don't want to eat world map ,, I want perfect things for me ,, no dirty nd messy things like u .

Maan : how cn u say that I don't like perfection ,, I too like everything right nd perfect , u don't know me well.

Geet paused nd looked at him : wrong ,, I know u very well Mr MK ,, I know how right u r , no need to present u as Mr Right in front of me .

Maan dipped in guilt at her remark .. Yes , he was perfect for outer world , but for her nd his family , he was completely wrong nd imperfect .

with lower head he started cutting fruits in big cubes like he ate in fruits salad , geet was busy in making chappaties for them ,, she remembered about d buggi driver.

Geet : Mr MK , where that buggi driver'll eat ? ask him if he want to take dinner .

Maan: I think he had , but let me ask for ur satisfaction .

Maan went out to ask d coachman about dinner , who was resting in d buggi ,, he was reluctant to have meal there , but Maan request him not to hesitate nd take dinner , but he wd get diff taste of home cook food .

D coachman was a very matured man nd cn adjust according to situations , so agreed to have diff taste.

Maan came back nd told Geet about him , Geet poured soup in a mug nd gave Maan to handed that to driver .

Geet: ask him if he was ok with rice nd chicken .

Maan went again nd nd got a positive response from d coachman,, prob solved ,, relaxed Maan came in ,, stoped d gen nd reported Geet .

Maan: Geet he's ok with rice nd chicken ,, sorry I increased ur work bringing him here .

Geet: it's OK .. daane-daane per likha hei khane wale ka naam ,, nd he was away from his family bcoz of us , so we have to think about him .

She saw d big cubes of fruits nd gasped ,, Maan gestured at her with eyes asking ..what ?

Geet: what r u doing ? u cut these wrong mr Right ,, make them small cubes , not this big ... kya kerty ho ,, chaddo mai khud ker lungi .

Maan: what , small, sorry ,, sorry baby , don't get angry ,i'll make them small ,, relax .

Geet: u showed , how much u r good in helping me ?

Maan: sorry , i'll mend it like u want .

Geet pouted nd finished her cooking ,, cleaned d surface ,, took d plate to set for coachman ,, warm d chicken which she made in lunch nd kept few more things if he wd like to eat ,, Maan slowly cutting d fruits in smaller sizes nd remembering his life few days back or cd say months back ... How his life became dirty nd messy ? With Sam he didn't get this feeing of family nd home ,, she hardly cook , but not of his choice ,, she was lazy nd shun doing house-hold works ,, mostly he did ,, she hardly cleaned home nd clothes gen they took their clothed to paid laundry ,, she never helped others ,, even she scolded beggars who ask money nd food ,, he recalled how badly she scold a small kid in India infront of CCD when they wr coming out after having coffee ,, he didn't remember that Sam helped any one or think about others ,, she want everything for her like a self oriented person .

Observing Geet from close he felt d diff .. a big diff ,, seeing Geet's care for others , simplicity ,, choices ,, down to earth nd compromising nature ,, proving Sam a careless person ,, there was nothing to attract towards her except her beauty ,, which made him blind ,,he cdn't deny this reality that Geet was d most beautiful nd perfect girl in all terms ,, he felt completed around her ... aahh..

Maan's came in reality when felt a sharp pain in his finger ,, he got a cut in his finger from d knife ,, Geet heard his cry nd saw that he got a cut nd blood was coming ,, panicked she rushed to him nd held hhis hand .

Geet: OMG!! , u cut ur finger ,,where is ur mind Maan ? I told i'll do , but no .. see . Geet pressed d wound nd dragged him near sink ,, washed his hand .

Geet : Maan pressed it tightly , I m bringing first-aid kit .

Maan: don't panic Geet , it's a small cut , his all pain vanished listening his name from her lips ,, he cd cut all his fingers everyday to listen his name from her.

Geet gave him a glare : etna khoon nikal raha hei , ye small hei ,,puri ungli kaat leni thi ,, press it ,, I m coming .

Geet went to opposite side opened a drawer nd took out d kit ,, apply savlon on wound , dry that with cotton , then apply ointment nd bandaged his finger .

Geet: koi kaam theek se nahi ker sakty tum ,, acchi help ki meri , ,better u sit aside , i'll manage .

Maan: sorry ,, pata nahi kaise cut gaya ?

Geet: what sorry ,dhyaan kahan tha tumhara ?

Maan: tum me .

Geet : what ?

Maan fumbled nd try to change d topic : wo tumhari taraf deha ,, plate laga di , do , mai deker aata hun ,, nd thanks a lot for this care.

Geet: , hum,,wait , let me serve custard for him .

Geet mixed d fruits in custard nd filled in a bowl ,, add dry fruits over that ,, kept all d things in a tray with a water bottle nd gave that to Maan .

Geet: ye lo ,hope he like it .

Maan smiled : he'll , relax .

Maan went nd Geet set table for them ,, Maan came nd both started their dinner ,, Maan was not eating but enjoying d tasty food , nd praising Geet's cooking skill .

Maan : uumm,, Geet thanks for making delicious food ,, u r a gr8 cook , really .

Geet: thanks ,, is ur finger paining ?

Maan: lil bit ,, don't worry, it's a small wound nd will be cure soon in 1 or 2 days.

Geet blankly : huumm ,, kuch ghav (wounds) waqt ke sath bhar jaty hei , aur kuch kabhi nahi bharty ,, nasoor ban jaty hein.

Maan looked at her hurt ,, he knew that she was talking about those wounds which he gave her ,, he wounded her heart badly .

Maan: un ghavo ko bharne ke liye mai kuch bhi ker sakta hu ,, ye jaan bhi de sakta hun .

Geet didn't reply , blankly eating her food ,, Maan's heart pained seeing her sad ,, he was not finding any way to make her happy ,, cursed him for hurting her .

Silent prevail between them ,, he didn't like her silence ,, he liked when she talk to him , even her taunts nd remarks .

Maan : aamm, did DJ or uncle call u ? when they r coming ?

Geet : yeah both talked when u wr out ,, they'll be back after 2 days.

Maan: hummm,, when u r thinking to go home ,, TM ?

Geet: hum , by eve train ,, i'll come back with DJ nd uncle to show them d work progress nd Caravan , hope they like it.

Maan: they will , but I m sure both'll scold u a lot for coming here alone .

Geet: hum , u r right here ,, but I cdn't do this infront of them ,, they won't allow me to spent my money on them .

Maan: u bought this ?

Geet: yes ,, they r doing so much for me ,, I just want to give them happiness , but now I m feeling bad for keeping them in dark ,, at least want to tell them that I m here .

Maan: but they'll panicked , nd become worried ,, don't disturbed them now ,, u cn tell them after coming back ,, not good to tell now .

Geet: I know , but I m feeling bad ,, maine galti ker di esse aa ker ,, thinking to cover up some damage ,, but how ?

Maan: Geet ,if u want my help, I cn support u .

Geet: will u ? nd what u want in return ?

Maan: nothing ,, u'll feel good ,relax , nd guilt free for hiding this ,, that'll enough for me .

Geet: did u call them from last day , u said u call them daily .

Maan: I called them , but didn't get their number , so I mailed uncle , nd he replied me back , don't worry , I didn't tell them about u .

Geet: thanks ,, i'll think what to do in d mrng.

Maan: OK,, ,but don't stress u ,, hum ,, no tension .

Geet gave a faint smile nd nodded in yes .

They finished nd secured d table ,, Maan went to bring back driver's plate ,, he finished all d food nd praised that ,, sply custard.

Coachman: thanks for delicious dinner Sir , I like that sply custard .

Maan: thanks for liking that .

CM: ur wife made this ?

Maan startled : yeah ,, yeah ,, my wife made it .

CM: say thanks to her from my side .

Maan proudly: sure . ( his heart jumped with joy , someone called Geet his wife nd it sounds so good to him)

They wished GN to each other nd Maan came back ,, Geet was taking meds nd talking to her Dr ,, who called her as usual ,, geet cut d call nd asked to Maan .

Geet: did he eat well ?

Maan: yes , nd say thanks to u for dinner ,, he liked d food .

Geet: oh , good .

Maan started to clean d dishes, but Geet held his hand nd glared at him .

Geet: don't , ur hand is wounded ,, don't wet d bandage , go nd do ur work .

Maan: Geet u did all , now let me help u .

Geet: no need ,, go ,, u r around me for my care ,, that help is enough for me .

Maan looked at her nd she shoved him away ,, finished d cleaning nd Maan kept d remaining food in fridge ,, helping her in any way was giving him immense happiness.
