Chapter 5

Geet closed her eyes and made a pray to baba ji as usual before taking off her dupatta, folding it and putting it near her pillow. Now ready to sleep she laid down on bed and pulled the blanket on her. but she could not sleep. Something was missing. She frowned and looked up at the ceiling where a low energy saver was trying to spread light. She could not sleep with lights off. What was missing? She turned on left side and her eyes fell on empty space next to her. Oh Naintara di was not here but where could she be? She got up and sat on bed. She looked at time. It was eight in the night. So late, where was di?

She must be talking with dev jiju. At that moment naintara entered the room, she was hiding something under her dupatta. She smiled at Geet innocently. Geet looked at her suspiciously. Naintara came to the bed smiling and she took out a sweet box from under her dupatta. She opened it and it was filled with rasgulla of various shapes.

Before geet knew it her hands were moving toward box and she took out a rasgulla. She looked up, thank you baba ji, you took one and gave me so many more, you are great. She put one rasgulla in her mouth, omg they were FRESH! So soft, so yummy. Her eyes closed in happiness. A tear fell down on her cheek. What was better in this world than the taste of rasgulla?

After she finished the first rasgulla off, she looked up at her sister who looked a bit worried. Geet told her with love,'' Thank you di, you are the best. I will eat rest of them in the morning.'' She got up and picked up her dupatta.

Naintara,'' where are you going?''

Geet,'' To put it in fridge.''

Naintara went to take the box from geet's hand, then thought better and smiled,'' okay, go.'' Who would dare to come between Geet and her sweets?

After camouflaging her box with different vegetable, Geet closed the fridge door and came back to the room she shared with her sister.

Naintara was walking in the room, her face showing agitation.

Geet entered the room and went to wash room to brush her teeth, she came back and started to get ready for bed again.

Naintara,''Geet, you are my good sister right?''

Geet,'' Yes, I am the best.''

Naintara,'' You really love me?''

Geet looked at her sister's face and sighed,'' Yes, I do.'' Her sweet sister was upto something not too sweet.

Naintara eagerly came and sat on the bed near geet's legs,'' Geet, dev wants to meet me in the fields tonight. Will you go with me?''

Geet stared at her sister and laughed,'' Nice one di.''

Naintara looked at her with pleading eyes,'' Please Geet.please.''

Geet looked out at the dark night, well she could sleep a bit late tonight,'' Okay, let's go but tell him to meet us near the well. I am not going any further than that place.''

Naintara looked like she had won lottery,'' Thanks Geet. But Dev ji told me to come at 2.''

Geet blinked and said slowly,'' he has called you out in the fields at 2 a.m. in the morning?''

Naintara nodded shyly, ''Yes.''

Geet got up and went to her college bag, she opened the zip grabbed few notes out and came back to naintara,'' Here money for the rasgullas. Good night.''

She laid down on the bed and put the blanket on her and closed her eyes.

Naintara poked her shoulder through the blanket with her finger,'' Geet, please.''

Geet with eyes closed,'' No, I want to live. Thank you.''

Naintara,'' No one will know Geet and if someone saw us I will take responsibility.''

Geet,'' No di.''

Naintara started crying. Geet tried to ignore her as much as she could but after all she was her sister.

Geet got up,'' Okay, stop crying. but I am not going alone at night. Call him here.''

Naintara who was still sobbing said,'' We wouldn't be alone, Maan ji will be going with us.''

Geet narrowed her eyes,'' di tell him to meet you here.''

Naintara looked at Geet innocently,'' He said we will have more privacy there. No one around for miles.''

Geet pointedly asked her,'' and why he need so much privacy?''

Naintara frowned,'' good question. Why didn't I think that?''

Geet shook her head, she had no desire to become an aunt so soon,'' Ask him to come here or you won't go anywhere.''

Naintara nodded and grabbed her dupatta, she opened the knot on her dupatta and took out the mobile and texted dev and waited.

After few minutes, she received the text and she smiled at geet, he will come here. Maan ji will open the door and bring him here.

Geet settled down back on her bed,'' wake me up when he gets here.''

Naintara nodded and went to the closet and started taking out different clothes. Geet opened one eye and asked her,'' What are you doing?''

Naintara excitedly replied,'' Getting ready. Do you think I should wear this blue dress or pink? And should I wear this golden jewellery set? What about make up?''

Geet closed her eyes and put the pillow over her face.

...

2 a.m.

Geet tried to open her eyes and look at naintara who looked ready for a mela. Suddenly naintara was not clearly visible, Geet used her hand to open her left eye which had closed. The right eye closed. She used her other hand to open it. Her mouth let out a big yawn. She dragged her feet to washroom and washed her face with cold water and brushed her teeth again.

She came out of the room as the door was knocked lightly. Geet put the dupatta on head and got ready to act like a wall ornament but to her surprise as soon dev was in, she was pushed out. She tried to dig in her feet and complain but being half sleep, she couldn't counter the pushes of her traitor sister. So, that's how she found herself standing in the hallway next to Maan.

Maan smiled at her. geet went back toward the door ready to bulldoze it down but Maan jumped in front of her and blocked her.

Geet glared at him and then, at the closed door. Geet haunda thrown out of her room! How dare them! They will pay!

In the mood to murder, she marched toward amma ji's room. Maan ran after her,'' Geet, listen. Stop. Please listen.'' He said in a low voice.

She stopped and looked at him pointedly.

Maan went and grabbed the bag which was left near geet's room. He took the box out and showed it to Geet,'' Your favourite ras malai.''

Geet looked at him with sleep filled angry eyes.

Maan put the box down and grabbed his ear lobes,'' I apologise on their behalf. Forgive them. Okay.'' he bent and put the box back in bag and held it as he stared at geet.

Geet wanted to wake amma ji but the way he looked at her, those eyes, those muscles bared in a vest. Her brain woke like a car engine. Suddenly, she was aware that he was wearing a black vest and black trousers. She swallowed as she looked at herself in small white kurta with pink dots and pink Patiala shalwar. Her dupatta had fell down on floor on her fight with naintara. It was dark in hallway, with only light coming through a window.

She swallowed. This just seemed really wrong. If anyone came out. She was so dead.

She wrapped her arms around her waist. His eyes went to her arms. Both stared at each other.

There was sound of a loud cough as the door to last room started to open. It was dar ji's room. Geet didn't thought she grabbed maan's hand and ran toward the stairs. Both went up on silent feet. Geet cursed Naintara in her heart.

There was sound of another door opening, damn it was brij's room on this floor. She started to run to next floor. Maan stopped her and ran to his room. He opened the door and entered the pitch black room. He pulled her in and closed the door.
