Part 54 (Last Part)
And then he wrote that
Geet is still so sad... its my fault.. I dont know how to make her happy'
But there are no more sketches...
She shuts the diary
There was no mention of Tara; just one entry about few years ago about Pratham ki he met him...and there are a sketch or two or of scenery...mountains...there wasn't much for him to write to put to remember...nothing new to record
Before that there is one entry about the fact that Tara ran away with Pratham
There are some events ki he is trying to convince Tara to marry him and stuff but no sketches...and it's more like he is writing about some other two people and not himself and Tara...there is no my' before Tara
Stuff like:
Asked Tara out for dinner. I don't whether she will come'
And there is like weeks between entries...
I am trying to convince a girl called Tara to date me'
Then about Pratham that
Met Pratham again, he is single once again'

Maan kaam kar raha tha office mein
Intercomm baja
Receptionist-Sir
M-Yes?
Receptionist-Sir, Mrs Khurana has come...should I send her in?
M-Yes. Don't stop her outside again
Bolke khada hua, goes to open the door for Geet wondering what's wrong... if anything was badly wrong he would have felt it, she would have called so he isn't worried
Geet aai...thodi lost si..pehli baar Maan ke offce aai naa she didn't realize ki ye sab ab uska hai
Maan ne gate khola to saamne Geet
She is bewildered...wo idhar udhar dekhte hue aarahi thi..aur saamne Maan...she almost bumped into him
He holds her hand ki ao ao anadar ao
Brings her inside, gate band kiya
M- Kya hua hai? Tum yahan achanak?
Geet dekhti hai thoda coyly
G-Main baith jaun?
M-Haan-haan
He makes her sit
Pulls the chair next to her
M-Kya hua?
G-Kuch nahi...aise hi...was just...missing you
He looks at her closely
M- You...were missing...me? Are you ok?
G-Why...can't I?
She pouts cute wala
G-You were not?
M-I was not what?
G-Not missing?
M-Of course I was...I mean...what is this about?
He asks touching and checking her forehead
M-You seem different
She chuckles and impulsively and quickly pecks his cheek
She pouts again...
G-You don't even shave properly
M- I was in hurry...though I did brush properly you can check...
He says sliding her out of chair into his lap
Geet blushes a little
G-In the office?
She wraps her arms around his neck
M-Why not? I locked the door
G- Cameras?
M-hmmm...no. No cameras
He puts his lips on hers and gives her a small kiss
M-Yes I was missing you...I was wishing we were on a Greek beach...loitering around
G- Oh I wish so too
She brushes her lips to his
He says kissing her back
M- .Maybe we just go somewhere on the weekend?
He pulls her away a little looking deep into her eyes
M- You are going to stay aren't you...
She smiles touching her nose to his
G-What do you think...
She says in low whispering voice
M-I think you won't...you'll stay with me forever... and I do mean ever...but then I don't want to take you for granted...
G-Good boy...
She bites his ear...slightly
He moans and runs his hand over her chest kissing her neck
M-well...you'll stay?
He asks in between his kisses
She nods
G-Forever
M- Geet I want to confess something...
He says sitting on the floor on his knees
M- I...I know...I am such an introvert...can never express my feelings...even to myself...but one thing I realized...you kept on asking me what I had with Tara...I couldn't answer you...convince you properly...I asked myself the same question...What I had with Tara...It was ego...sometimes you can be stuck at something that it becomes part of your ego...you don't even realize you don't need it anymore...that you never needed it...like a child who is adamant to have a toy but can't have it...but sees that as his defeat and chases it and chases it till he is a teenager and then when he actually gets it...he realizes he never wanted that toy for himself...he wanted it for satisfying his ego...sometimes your need to satisfy your ego is so high that you become blind to your real feelings...then at last you realize that ego is only destroying you...but in my case when I realized...it was too late...I had already hurt you in worst possible manner...I apologize Geet...
His eyes are moist
She looks into his eyes
G-Shhh shhh...I know...I know...I am sorry too...I...
M- Shhh
He hugs her tightly
