"Yaatri kripaya dyaan de Mumbai jane wali 12 bej kar 45 minutes ki train platform no 5 par aane wali hai"
A young boy was in the train arranging his bags in the given space.
After almost 15mins a girl comes in the same compartment pulling two heavy bags with all her strength. She got her bags till her seat by pulling them all the way but now the question was how is she suppose to keep them up in the luggage space...
she thinks for a while & then comes to a conclusion that she needs someones help. She saw a man sitting on the seat with laptop on his lap & very busy with it...she thought it won't be good to disturb some one so she turns to see the other side if someone is there to help her but there was a old couple sitting there & seeing there old age she thought even that was a bad idea.
At last she thinks that she have to do it herself.she removes a hair pin from her purse & pins her hair. She first takes the small bag which she had & keeps it up In the space. She was struggling with the second one which was heavy. She tried for 5mins but still was not successful. At last she thinks that its no going to happen & she need hands to do it for her.
she looks at the man again.
"Offf...kassa ladka hai ek ladki ko help bhi ni kar sakta hai"in her mind
"Excuse me...excuse me..."
The man looks at her & rises his eyebrow & give a slit smile.
"Yes..."
"Can you please help me with this two bags...actually they are very heavy & I am not able to put them up"
"Yes why not"
He picks one bag puts it up than the other one. After keeping bags he simply smiles to her. She gives a smile return to him.
She sits right opposite to him as it was her seat.
"Thank you so much" the man looks at geet with a smile.
"Oh no anytime"
She removes a book from her bag...it was a novel which had bookmark inside. She just opens the book & continue her reading.
The guy was watching all this...he just smiles on all her ethics.
By the time the train starts. As the train starts the girl joined her hands & closed her eyes & said something in her mind.
The guy muffs his lips & smile seeing her. As she was done with her prayer and was looking at the guy he immediately put his head down & again started working.
It's almost 3pm & the girl was hungry. She gets up & removes a tiffin from her bag. As she opens her tiffin the smell of the food goes in the nose of the guy seating opposite to her. He looking at her then at the food...he gulps saliva as even he was hungry but then he just again tries to concentrate on his work. The look & the gulp was already noticed by the girl. She thinks to offer him some food as her bhabhi had stuffed a lot of food in the tiffin.
she opens it & forward it to him. He looks at her & then at the lunch box.
"Ji wooo...kya aap lena pasand karogey?"
The guy looks at the food...it was aaloo puri his favourite & then he was even thinking what will she eat if I eat her lunch...
"Jii wo meri bhabhi ne jada pack kar diya tha tua soach aapko offer kar duu"
"Ohhh..."
He thinks "arey uski bhabhi ne jada pack kiya hai now of course you can eat"
The girl looks at him like what is he thinking so much off...
"Jiii thank you so much but I would just like to eat one puri"
"Jii ohkk why not"
"Thank you"
The guy removes sanitizer from his pocket & rub it on his hand.the girl thought " hoga koi amir baap ka beta tabhi tua itne natak kar raha hai"
The guy forward his hand to the girl ""hello I am Maan"
"Hmmm..." she looks at him with a total confused look & gives her hand to him "jii mein geet huu"
"Such a sweet name" "jiii...thank you"
Maan takes one puri from her lunch box & takes one bite of it..
"Ammm...wow maa ki yaad aagayii...wasey aapki bhabhi kafi aacha khana banati hai"
Soon first puri was over then even second & so on the last puri too...even geet was eating...but she was amazed by the speed of eating.
"Wasey mein hii kab sey baatey kiye jaa raha huu...aapp kuch bol hi nii rahii"
"Jiii yesi koi baat nii wo mey aanjan logose jada baatey ni karti"
"Arey but mey thodi na koi anjana hu mein tua aapka train partner huu"
"Jiii"
"Wassey aapko colour koan sa pasand hai?"
"Jiii..?"
"Jiii nahi colour?"
Geet was very irritated by maan but anyways she was just suppose to reach Mumbai & till that time she have to bear him.
"Blueee"
"Wow...even I like blue infact wo tua mera lucky colour hai...by the way aapko kissine kabhi bola hai ki aap kafi aachi dekhti hai actually u got lovely eyes & your hair..."
"Hmmm..jiii wooo..."
Geet gets call on her mobile phone. She receives the call.
"Asalam walekum"
"Jii hum filal tua train mey hii hai"
"Ji ha"
"Niii aapko koi fikar karne ki zarurat nahi hai"
"Ji"
"Humare pass unka phone number niii hai"
"Jiii...ek minute"
Geet gets a pen out from her purse & write the number on back of the novel.
maan was listening to geet very carefully. He was jealous that why is geet talking to the person on phone so sweetly.
"Jii hum waha pochtey hi call kar legey"
"Ji humare pass address bhii hai...haan wo bandra wala hii"
"Ohkk bhaijan shabha khair"
After geet says bhaijaan maan smiles showing all his teeth.
"Ohhh bhai ka call thaa"
Geet looks at him & role her eye.
After some time geet went to sleep. Her hairs were coming on her face & her close eyes were like world's peace is on her face.
he closed his laptop & was was starring at her...he suddenly recollects that she wrote no on the back of the novel...the novel was right next to her so he immediately took that novel & saw the number he was about write it on paper but geet turns so he just try to remember it in mind..& keeps it back.
Soon day went away & next day was arrived...maan was sleeping & the train was on bandra station Mumbai.
Maan opens his eye & he saw no one sitting front of him...where is geet...he askes the person sitting next to him if he saw her but then no one saw where she went but only one uncle said that she got down few minutes ago.
Maan takes his bag & gets down from the train.
he run to the exit & he saw the same red pin which geet had pin her hair into.
he runs towards her but by the time he reach she already was into taxi & was gone.
He got very upset with this...she didn't even say bye to mee...upset because of this.
Maan goes back to his house. He was sitting on sofa with tv on.
the tv was showing some telecom advertising...maan soon recollected that he saw her no...where she was going to stay...he took a paper & pen & wrote down the numbers which he remember but he forgot the arrangement of three digits in the phone number...
he called on this no again & again trying every arrangement of numbers.
"Hello..."
"Yes modern cancer hospital"
Maan was totally shocked when he got to know that he have dial hospital number & that too cancer hospital.
"Helooo..."
"Yes yes...can I talk to geet"
"You mean geet malik?"
"Yes"
"Just a minute sir we will call her here"
Maan wasn't aware of geets surname but he knew her voice so he thought to give this number his chance.
"Hello..."
"Hello...koan bol raha hai...jii koi hai?"
Maan was totally shocked...he simply had no words to talk & that to after knowing that she is in cancer hospital & she is not well & she must be suffering from cancer...he had tears in his eyes.
He wasn't aware of what he will do now or what is going to happen but he wants to meet geet but he even thought that he should have good & positive mind state so that he can create positive energy near geet.
Maan soon took over his emotions & was prepared to face geet.
The next day he gets ready in formals as he was going to visit geet & even had to join his office back.
It's almost 1week 4 days he haven't seen geet after the train tour.he was nervous & even was confused that what will geet think about him & will she like if I visit her or not...but only thing he knew was he want to visit her & he would & if she doesn't like it then he won't trouble her.
he got ready started his car & was on his way to modern cancer hospital.
He saw flower shop on his way. He parked his car & entered the shop...he was searching blue flowers as she likes blue she said.
he took blue orchid for her & even a fruit basket.
He enters the hospital. He asked for geet malik on reception. she informs him that she went for her kemo therapy & she would be in sleep after the therapy...
he got upset but then her therapy was more important...he asked what are the visiting hours on which she informed him that he can come before 7:30pm anytime.
he even try to know about geets disease & her stage but the receptionist denies to inform anything about the patient.
Maan exit the hospital but then he had got flowers & fruits for her he again goes inside & gives it to the receptionist & ask her to give it to geet.
It was 5:30pm maan was in office. He was done with his job for today he cancel his evening plannings & rush towards the hospital.
He again enquires & the receptionist ask him to go to room no201
he was nervous...his foot steps got slow as he was near room 201. He open the door slowly.
There she was sitting on bed with her legs fold & was on phone talking to someone.
She was dull...she lost weight in a week...she wasn't looking happy either.
She saw maan & had tears in her eyes. She cuts the call.
"Maan...aap..yaha?"
"Wo...mein...I mean I...wo...aapko..dekhne...just to visit you"
"Aapko kab sey bolne mey problem ho gayi...aap tua kafi bool letey ho"
"Jiii..."
Her voice was different...she looked different...maan was feeling as if he is watching her after decades
"Jab nurse ne bola mujhe koi dekhne aaya tha tab mene socha koan hoga mene tua kisiko ni bataya hai mey yaha hu...fir ye flowers dekhey aur fruits fir bhi mujhe laga ni tha ki wo aap hogey...par aacha laga aap aaye"
"Geet your family knows you have...?"
"Jii nahi...sirf bhai jante hai...uhne bhi nahi batana tha par unko pata chal gaya"
"But why assey time par tua family sath mey honi chahiye"
"Ammi aabu tua nahi rahey jo hai wo bhai aur unka parivaar hai aur humara ek chota bhai bas aur koi hai tua nahi tua bataye bhi tua kisko"
"Nahi geet yesa maat socho...mey hu na...I will take care of you I will come to visit you daily promise"
"Doo saal hogaye mujhe yaha aye par kabhi koi mujse milne nahi aaya tum aaye aacha laga par mey chahugi ki aap bhi maat aao"
"Oh hello I am not listening to you I will come daily dekhna tum"
"Kiisss haak sey?"
"Ek dost aur tumara sath chahne ke haak se"
This was what it started from & even ended at...maan made his routine to visit geet evryday & take care of her...soon the bond of friendship turned to love...& they lived happy ever after.
"The visits to hospital was in the intension of taking care now & even after...the care made them together...love is not only when you like someone or just because you are married to someone...love has its own way & one way is CARE"
***THE END***
