CROSSING PATHWAYS
PART 6
Geet impatiently paced around the living room waiting for Maan to wake up from his so called light sleep. The sleepyhead was still tossing around in his bed. Mohinder and Raj laughed at her worried expression.
Beta, Maine pehle hi kaha tha, uss nikamme ke bharose mat baitho.. Na woh khud kaam karta hai, na doosron ko karne deta hai. Ab dekh liya, Abhi bhi keh raha hoon puttar, tu jaa, woh nahi uthega. Raj said shaking his head. Geet groaned inwardly and once again ran towards his room. He was still in bed. The last time she had seen him a few minutes ago, he was halfway turned upside down and now now the was completely lying upside down with his legs balanced on the headboard and his head hanging off the bottom of the head. She had never seen anyone sleep like the way he did, tossing 360 degrees on the bed. She walked to his side and tired waking him up for the nth time.
Maan, utho.! Kitna soege tum..? Just get up now or I am leaving. Geet said shaking him but he was unaffected. She was getting irritated when her eyes caught the water jug placed at the side of the table. She was almost about to grab it and empty it on his face when she sighed and gave up. It would only make things worse. He had admitted that he was hardly sleeping from the past 2 days, now when he was sleeping so peacefully, she didn't have the heart to wake him up.
Fine, I'm going. Enjoy your beauty sleep you sleepyhead. Geet said with a laugh and left the room. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Mohinder talk.
Akeli jaa rahi hai puttar.? Tito ko leja. Saath rahega kam se kam, toh accha hi hoga na. Mohinder suggested to which she rolled her eyes and laughed.
Iss gadhe ko.? Papaji, wahan pe waise hi ek gadha mera dimaag khane ke liye tayyar baitha hoga.. Isse le gayi toh main waapis nahi aaongi. Waise bhi isse koi kaam dhang se toh hota nahi hai, isse accha hai main khud hi karloon. Geet said glaring at Tito who was busy on his game. She looked at the clock which showed he was late for school already.
Aaj kis khushi mein ghar pe baitha hai.? Aaj kahan dard hai tujhe.? Abhi toh mujhe kaam hai, waapis aake tere saare dard theek karti hoon. Aaj aisa injection dungi ki saare dard aise theek ho jayenge aur phir nahi aayenge. She threatened him with a glare. He stilled playing on the iPod at once and grinned back at her.
Maine kab kaha ki main school nahi jaa raha hoon.? Abhi tayyar hone jaa raha tha. Tu bhi na Didi, kitna gussa karti hai. Tito stammered running away from the living room into his bedroom. Mohinder and Raj burst out laughing as they saw him scurrying back into his room.
Tu bhi na puttar, badi accha tarah se darake ke rakhti hai usko. Mohinder laughed.
Aur nahi toh kya papaji, uska bas chale toh woh roz ghar pe rahega kisi na kisi dard ke bahane. Ab dekhna kaise bhagte hue school jayega. Main chalti hoon papaji. Uncle wait kar rahenge honge. She said almost running out of the house.
Sambhalke, kuch ho toh ghar aajana, kal main chala jaaonga. She heard him call out after her. Sitting on her scooty, she quickly drove away from the house.
Maan sat at the dining table sipping his coffee when he noticed the house to be extra ordinarily quiet. He looked at Mohinder and Raj who were busy enjoying the morning newspaper and their tea. Even Neena and Annie year busy in their own talks. It was only Geet who was nowhere to be seen and as far as he remembered, she had mentioned taking off from her clinic...
Uncle, where is Geet.? Maan asked around the place. Raj looked up from his newspaper and looked at him angrily.
She is gone out for some work. She tried waking you but you were sleeping like you have never slept before. Idiot. She got fed up and left. Raj snapped at Maan. Maan who was sipping his coffee choked on it and spit it out instantly. His eyes widened in guilt.
Shit, I was supposed to go with her. She asked me if I would come and I said yes. Damn, she should have woken me up. Can I go now uncle.? Maan said looking in Mohinder's direction.
Koi zaroorat nahi hai Maan, she must be working on something because she is not jobless like you. Tum wahan jaake usko tang mat karna uske sar pe naachke. Usne waise hi tumhe uthane mein kaafi time waste kiya, toh use ab kaam karne do. Raj snapped at him once again.
Dad, will you please give it a rest. Fine I was sleepy and I slept in, I'll go now. Maan glared at his dad who glared back at him in return.
Uncle, please main jaaon.? He looked at Mohinder expectantly who just laughed seeing him so excited.
Ofcourse beta, Tum tayar ho jao, I'll write the directions and you can go. She won't be back before afternoon anyway, toh tum uski help kar sakte ho. Mohinder said patting him on his back.
Thanks uncle, I'll be ready in just 10 mins. I hope she won't be angry. Maan said and ran into his room. Raj looked in his direction incredulously. That wasn't Maan, he would never be that excited to do any sort of work .
Mohinder, yeh mere bte ko kya ho gaya hai.? Woh toh kaam karne ke liye kabhi itna khush nahi hota tha. Aaj suraj kahan se nikla hai.? Yeh Maan hi hain na.? Mujhe yaakeen nahi ho raha. Raj said turning his head towards Neena who was smiling herself. Suddenly his face became excited and he happily hugged Mohinder.
Oye. Yeh sab Geet ka hi kamaal hoga. Mohinder jo mujhe nazar aa raha hai, woh tujhe aa raha hai kya.?? He quipped happily. Mohinder's smile widened and he nodded in agreement.
Hmmm, aa raha hai. He smiled and hugged back Raj and both ended up laughing. Maan quickly came out of the room and looked at both of them in suspicion. Raj walked towards Maan and put an arm around Maan.
Kya baat hai beta Ji, itni jaldi jaane ki.? Nahaya hai ki nahi.? Ya jaane ke chakkar mein Sab chod diya..? He said smiling teasingly and raising his eyebrows at Maan who gave him a don't-be-stupid look.
Ofcourse Dad, Geet was waiting for me. I am late anyhow, shouldn't I hurry. Wait, what's cooking in that sadist mind of yours.? Whatever it is, save it for later. I need to go now. Maan patted him on his shoulder and ran out of the house taking the address from Mohinder unaware of all that was cooking in his absence.
Geet looked at the pile of papers waiting to be sorted in order to be distributed. She sighed as she heard Mohit tagging behind her again. She looked back and gave him am extra wide grin and tried taking the papers off the table but he caught her and held them from the other side. Maan who had just parked the car and walked towards the house heard her name from the small place located infront of from house and stopped in his tracks.
Geet Ji, aap rehne dijiye. Mujhe karne dijiye na. Mujhe aur bhi maza aayega. He heard a voice take her name. He looked at the place trying to get a better look but nothing was visible.
Aap kyun karenge, mera hai main karungi. Aap neeche kar lijiye. He heard her voice next shocking him. It was indeed her voice. He looked at the small closed cabin and wondered what was she upto.?
Nahi Geet ji, aap takleef mat kareiye. Yeh aap ladkiyon ka kaam nahi hai.. Aap ka kaam sirf batana hai ki kaisa kar raha hoon. His voice came back to Maan. Confusion washed over him, what were they doing in a a small cabin. Just as he was about to walk towards it, he heard her.
Ahhh, Mohit. Kya kar rahe ho tum.? He heard her hiss. The blood drained out of his face. What the hell were they upto.?? He couldn't believe his ears, was it really Geet inside the small place. Somehow the realization kicked him in his gut, he hated standing there. All sorts of thoughts crossed his mind and he tired shoving them away. Why was he even standing there listening to them.? More than the voice from inside, it was the fact that she hid everything from him that was pinching him. The voices from the house kept getting louder, things were falling down and crashing against the floor. Where were his thoughts going with this.?? Were they.?? In that small room.? He mentally kicked himself for even going there. It was Geet he was thinking about, it was so not her to do such a thing.
Geet Ji please, aap mujhe rokiye mat. Yeh sirf main hi karunga aur koi nahi.. He heard the other voice. That's it, he couldn't take it anymore. He stormed towards the house and kicked the door open. As the door opened he stood there stunned at the sight that awaited him. Geet was trying to pull something out of his hands, while he pulled on the other end. He looked at them incredulously and burst out laughing. What not had he thought of the events going on in the room and it all turned out to be a tug of war for a stack of papers. Geet looked towards the door and lost her concentration. Maan stood there laughing his guts out and the first thought that crossed her mind was, if he had gone mad.? Her thoughts were broken when she felt the papers being taken out of her hands and walked out of the house. Geet stomped her foot in anger and Maan laughed harder seeing her expressions.
Tum.!!!!!! Maan.!! Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho aur has kyun rahe ho.? Yeh daant dikhana band karo and help me get those papers back. I need them.. She said running out of the house behind the guy.
Mohit, mujhe woh wapas Karo. She said running behind him. Maan laughed harder looking at them, it looked exactly like him running after chickens. With great difficulty he was trying to control his laughter but what she did next him was just the undoing for his control. Deliberately running towards the slush, she pretended falling in it. Inorder to save her, the guy followed her and ended up landing face down into the slush. He could see her giggling and she cooly took the papers away for him. Maan watched in amusement, she only looked innocent; there was no way she was. Maan suddenly realized that he was grinning foolishly as he watched her. God knows what was happening to him, was he loosing himself to her day by day.? The realization hit him hard.!
