PART 16
G- N...No...of course not...it is just that I start saying something to you and then I realize that the rest of the sentence doesnt really make sense so I just don't say it. I am not much of a talker... I mean I say stuff and people look at me weirded so I try to keep it shut
Maan hasne lag gaya
Kitne dino ke baad dil kholke hasaa hai ki uski hassi gunj si gai
G- Its not funny...
Geet mumbles getting red in face squirming with embarrassment
M-You are funny! No; comic. Miss Comic
Geet gives Maan a mini cute glare
She didn't like being made fun of but she really couldn't even mind Maan laughing at her. It was a treat watching him laugh and right now she was enjoying that
His laugh...his smile...the way his face transformed
She was staring at him like a dim witted idiot
M-I am sorry again. I don't know what happens to me after I get drunk. It hasn't happened ever; I have met so many people but never happened
She snaps out of drool mode
G- Uh it's nothing to apologize...I came here and demanded answers...and I am not even drunk...sometimes things just happen
M-But it's so weird and it's the only way and I determine to succeed; assure you it won't happen again
G- Yeah...
She gives him a close lipped smile filled with sadness
G-All the best. I am sure you will succeed
Geet notices he looks so sick and pale. She goes near to him again and notices his dark circle and sunken eyes. He appears thinner too
G-But if it's just giving up drinking, you shouldn't be getting this sick. I don't like this...I mean I don't like you being sick like this
She looks troubled
M-I will manage. Don't worry
After a pause he says
G- Isn't there some other way to do this? So that you don't have to suffer like this...I mean would little drinking help... ?
Maan has a side smile
M-Geet. It's not about me, it's about you
G- What? No, it's got nothing to do with me
M-I am doing this for you
G- No, you don't have to do this for me. I dent need it. I am fine with every thing
She babbles
G-You should ...why do you think I would want to see you suffering?
M-Geet, you are a very kind girl but this can't get on like this
G- No. I am mean and selfish and I am asking you to stop this. I mean...I don't want you to be drunkard, that couldn't be good for your health but I don't want this...you like this...its... even worse
M-Geet, don't look miserable please
G-I am miserable? You are in a hospital bed!! I think i can handle little misery
M-Its ok-ay. Ok-ay. All right
G- It's not and don't you eat any more? Huh? Why have you lost so much weight?
She says poking his chest
G-You look worse than me on my worst day
He smiles
M-But you always look beautiful
G- Huh yeah right.
She snorts
M-Don't you belive Maan Singh Khurana?
G-I... you aren't the paragon of virtue...are you saying you have never lied?
M-I never lie in these matters and I am not lying now. I can't help if you can't see clearly in a mirror
G- I can see very well, you are the one who needs glasses; and my looks are not the topic of discussion any way
Geet says again getting slightly red. First time in life someone has ever complemented her...
M-Now you leave, you look badly in need of food
She looks at him astonished; mouth open then closes her mouth looking angry
G- You look like a cat dragged in after a stormy night not me!!
She goes and kicks his bed then grabs her leg ow ow owow
G-Damn you! And I will go wherever whenever I want; I don't need your permission or order
Maan ne elbow pakda aur khincha aur bed pe bithaya
She falls easily loosing balance waise hi ek pair pad kund rahi thi
She falls on top of him
G-Ooofff!!
He grabs her tightly
G- What are you- let go!
He holds her knee pulling her leg towards him
G- I am fine! Fine! Let go!
She tries to get away but even on his worst day he is much stronger than her
He pulls her feet towards him, keeping it on his thigh
M-Let's see
He gets some water from the jug
G- I really am fine
Maan Geet ke feet pe thanda paani daalta hai
She wriggles trying to get away
Maan to pure concentration se laga hua h
G -Stop it...
She says giggling a little now
G-Really its fine... let go. It tickles, ok! Let go!!
She tries uselessly to pull away
Maan to laga hai massage mein
Geet is still a bit giggly
M-O my! You have pillowish soft feet! My girlfriend also----
He stops abruptly...
Haath hatatha hai
M-emm...is it ok now?
G- Its fine. Thank you. Your girlfriend...Tara?
Geet asks, knowing she shouldn't but she has to know
Maan looks at her with murderous glare
M-How do you know?????
He frowns; really bad frown
G- You come drunk to my house, remember? Drunk people babble stuff
Maan hides his face in his hands
M-I shouldn't...I shouldn't...
He sighs
G-...oh...oh!!!
She explains jumping out of bed, moving around jaise achanak se mole concept samjh aa gaya
G-You shouldn't coz of her...of course what must she be thinking!! Why didn't I think of that!!
She says slapping her head
He frowns more
M-What are you saying...
He says in a low mumble
G- I...uh...should go... if she finds me here...I understand...umm bye...just take care ok and tell her to take care of you too or--just bye!
Geet apna joota pehenti hai jo Maan ne utaara tha to check out her foot, grabs her purse; all in fast speed
Maan let gaya ankhein band karke trying to find some peace
She leaves
