Part 43
G-Forget...forget we are married...it's easy to forget isn't it [hinting how he forgot their numerous times marriage and proofs in the crazy night...forgot about her as Tara came]
M-I can't forget it, just like you can't forget everything else...I am going to the deck
Maan uth kar chala jaata hai
Geet doesnt stop him, neither was he expecting her to sop him
+++
Geet cruise ke deck ke paas ghanto waves dekh rah thi
Geet chup chap jaise uss deep sea men gumm thi her eyes reflecting the depth of the sea
Maan come to stand next to her...Quietly...hoping to enjoy a relax moment with her while she wasn't on tender hooks and he wasn't trying to convince her relax her
Geet wahim khadi hai jaise waqt thahar gaya ho aur wo bhi waqt ke saath theher gai ho
She is revisiting every moment she spent with him, her dreams for them and her aspirations; which would breathe their last today
She feels his presence near him and turns towards him
He's holding a bunch of exotic flowers lowered in his hand
G-Need to say something?
He turns to look at her shows her flowers
M-There's a flower exhibition and seed sale going on ...thought you might be interested in going there
She ignores the flowers and what he says
G-I need to say something
Maan tilts his head questioningly
M-I am all ears
G-I am sorry
She looks at the sea
G-I guess I have been very selfish, not thinking about you
She takes a breath looking the sea
G-I guess we have been in each other's position...life is strange...no? I loved you...you loved Tara...Tara doesnt love you...you don't love me...the same feeling isn't it...I know it's hard to live with it...but you had lived with it for years...same like...I can't give your place in my heart to Talos...you can't give Tara's place in your heart to me...and its fine...perfectly, fine
Maan looks down then back at her
M-I don't love Tara
Geet hasn't looked at him...still looking at the waves
She turns to him
G-It was nice knowing you. Thanks for everything
She extends her hand
Maan grasps her hand
She shakes it a little and then leaves
He doesnt let go of her
M-I don't love Tara and Tara never loved me or even liked me. I didn't get time enough to fall in love with you but I wanted to...really wanted to. I didn't get time enough to understand you more and to fall in love with you but I always liked you; I more than liked you
G- emm..leave my hand..please
M-Tara isn't coming back and I don't want her back; but I am here with you and you don't want me back...two of us had much more between us than Tara or I ever had or could have had.. coz it wasn't real.. but this is...and you are not willing to give this half a chance
G- Leave...please...my hand...
M- Why should I let go of your hand when you offered it to me?
G-We had nothing! I was your little drunk secret, almost a secret keep
M-No! You know that's not true...I was and I am never ashamed of you, why would you be a secret?
G-It doesnt matter Maan...i really hope...someday you get Tara...and someday Tara should really understand your love...and how lucky she is to have a man who loves her so much...I would pray. It was nice knowing a person like you. Thanks for everything. Your mom is also very nice
M-No, I don't want Tara, I dint need Tara and even if she comes back I am not getting back with Tara ever
Geet ke gale men ek chotta s amangal sutra tha, wo nikaal ke de diya
M- A string of beads mean nothing to me i am not a religious man nor a traditional one.Take them off throw them away it would mean nothing
G-Hmm...good...it was the last symbol of the marria-...mistake
She drowns the mangal sutra into the sea
M- That's not a symbol it is just a string of beads...you present marriage with a string? A string of bead is all that this all is to you ?
G- Now...leave..my..hand
M-What if I don't leave it?
G-Huh? You have to leave it. How stupid!
M-Why do I have to leave it? I like holding on it very much thank you
G-Please...Maan leave it...I have to go. What kind of childishness is this?
M-You don't respond well to adult behaviors so I am trying this, and where do you have to go that I can't come?
G-Ladies room
