" Mujhe aapse koi baat nhi krni hai bro...U were supposed to come back yesterday...1st u postpone ur trip...2 nd u r not there to wish me luck on my exam &3rd.. u did nt tell me bout u postponing d trip" - Annie babbled away to a flustered maan

Maan- ENUF Annie...How come u r awake at 4am? Don't give me d excuse of ur exams coz I'm sure Arjun wud have helped u prepare well...So tell me...Wats keeping u up at dis tym?

An- for heaven's sake bro...Have a heart...V have not talked in2 days...Since u said u'll b busy on dis trip...N u did nt even msg me I was plain worried wen u did nt land yesterday night as scheduled...N u did nt even pick up...

Maan got up from d chair after finishing his tea as he listened to Annie's box of complains...He knew he have to say at least a 1000 sorry to manaofy his dear sister now.." tough luck man...Jise log line se sorry thank u kehte hain. Use krne sorry bolne pad the hain...

Maan was so engrossed in manaofying Annie dat he did not notice when he started walking out of the dhaba, nor did he notice a curious pair of eyes watching him in fascination...Now he was walking on a secluded road dimly lit by a few street lamps.

Few hours ago...

Geet, who workd in a call centre from 11pm to 3 am...Was returning from her shift when the cab decided to stop on this dhaba for refreshments..Geet had been to this dhaba earlier..And she shivered to recall wat she had seen...Actually the place surrounding the dhaba belonged to a local tribe who were very uncivilized and dangerous...Dey constantly kept an eye on the dhaba for rich customers...N tried to get dem out in seclusion so dat dey cud finish him off..They held grudges against the rich...And even after stealing Deir possessions...Gave their victim a very torturous death...Geet had seen sum part of their doing once...And she had been warned by d waiters to stay away from dese ppl n always stay in groups coz dey attack only single epersons...

She had been enjoying her Lassi wen her eyes fell on the man sitting at sim other table...A few steps away from her..

Maan! Wat is he doing here...Saath me bhi koi nhi hai...Babaji! Shayad inko pata nhi ki yahan akele khatra hai...Meher Krna babaji!!- geet mused to herself..

" Agar main inke Saath Jakar baithe jaun...To koi inko Akela nhi samjhega..Par inse kahungi kya...Ye to mujhe koi despo samjhenga...Coz ye to mujhe jaante bhi nhi...She looked up again...Babaji..Raasta dikhao...

Geet ventured towards Maan's table wid closed eyes. Bas geet puttar! Ghabra mat...Tu unhealthy pehchanti hai par vo to nhi jaante na Tujhe..

To jaan jayenge..Tu apna introduction de Dena...Haina babaji!! So simple...Geet was pretty composed by the Time she reached the table..But due to nervousness she did not open her eyes...

"Excuse me! "A deep voice called out, snapping geet out of her thoughts...She opened her eyes and was shocked...

.

Here goes the next part...

Part 6

Geet opened her eyes...N was shocked to look into an unfamiliar pair of eyes...

Where is he?? I mean the person who was sitting here a few minutes ago...Geet questioned the stranger...

On being informed dat maan had left d dhaba engrossed in a phone call...Geet ran off after him...Panic struck her as she sensed movement in d bushes nearby, indicating deir arrival..She continuously chanted "Babaji Meher krna' and sprinted to the road where she cud see him walking away...She tried to shout his name...But words failed to leave her throat due to exhaustion...And den she suddenly collided with him..

Maan had started his list of (sorry)'s😛 to Annie..When he realised he had come quite a long way from the dhaba...He cud sense sumbody running behind him...Getting alert he turned abruptly ..Only to find sum1 colliding with him...

If maan was surprised with the turn of events...D next shocked him...

Geet embraced him tightly.

"What the "-- maan cud only say this much when he heard d most melodious voice saying-

"Maaf kiya maaf kiya, maaf kiya( I forgive you)...But ye kya tarika hai Mafi mangne ka...I agree it was my fault that I asked to stop d car on an isolated road...N those robbers robbed us of our belongings...But dat does not mean that u fret so much in anger that u leave me at that spot only to walk up here, esp when u know I am so afraid of the dark...But since u have been asking forgiveness for quite sometime now..I forgive u.." geet babbled to a speechless maan...

Here maan was lost in geet...True that he had seen many girls before her...But none cud enchant him the way her hazel eyes did...N when she had embraced him...He did nt want to leave her...It all felt so pure...So right..He cud feel d contentment which he was searching for years...As if she was a drop of water he was seeking in a desert... He just locked his hands around her waist n and his eyes to her eyes...N tried to get his bearings back...

He was still in a trance when she started dragging him back to the dhaba...Now she was telling him something bout his car being repaired n parked in front of the dhaba...

Geet was in her own thoughts as they walked back to the dhaba..

" Ye mujhe aise ghoor q rhe hain...Shayad pehchane ki koshish kr rhe hain..(smirked) inhe to pata hi nhi main kaun Hun...Ab bas...isse pehle ki inki tubelight on ho jaye...N he realises ki I am a stranger to him...Inhe inke driver tK chodkr bhag jaati Hun...Vese bhi ab cab0 ke jaane ka tym ho gaya hai...

But seems d trouble had not ended yet...Her cab mates had left after seeing her running after maan...Thinking him to be her close acquaintance...N dropped her a sms regarding the same...N if that was not enough..Den the person supposed to be Maan's driver was actually his mechanic...Who had left in d transport bus after maan paid him..

Maan had come out of his trance to pay the mechanic n thank him for help at odd hours..While geet looked at him horrified...'Babaji...He again plans to drive alone..Inki raksha Krna..." Maan came to her to ask her the much needed ques...But before he could...He saw d big fat drops near the corner of her eyes, stealthily trying to make their way out...

He was immediately concerned...Wat happened? Y r u crying?

Geet hesitated den told him dat she was left behind...Sumthing in her told maan that this girl maybe crazy...But she can be trusted...He spoke again

"Listen, regarding the stint u pulled on me a few minutes back ..I think dere's a lot of explaining from ur side! "Geet glared at him. He ignored n continued" I'm going to d city how bout I drop u to ur destination while u tell me bout ur stint.."

Geet( in mind)- hawww! Babaji dekha aapne ye kaise keh rhe hain...1 to Maine help ki...Upar se ye aise baat kr rhe hain..Lekin geet puttar , Tere colleagues to tujhe chod kr gye...Ab isi ke Saath ghar chali ja...Vese bhi bunny ko pata chala ki I'm still not home...To meri band bah jayegi .

Geet gave him a faint smile n Sat in the car...

Maan - so miss...Whatever is ur name...Can u plz do the honour of explaining ur actions...Or u need a pandit to select an auspicious date n time for it?

Geet - aisa kuch nhi hai maan...Maan raised his eyebrows n thought- use to mera naam bhi pata hai...Ye hai kaun..Pehli nazar me hi isse nazar nhi hat rhi...N ye to aise baat kr rhi hai jese ki mujhe but pehle se jaanti ho...Lekin kese..

Maan continued whacking his brains while geet told him all bout d dhaba happenings she had witnessed previously n today's actions...Maan was surprised but he cud still nt remember seeing her anywhere..

That's it for this part ppl...
