CHAPTER 13. ALMOST KISSES!

"Hi!", a voice said from behind and Geet turned around in surprise. Her eyes widened, "Maan! Aap yahaan?"

Maan shrugged, "Socha apne friend ko pick kar lun! Chalo! Tumhein ghar chod deta hun!" Maan bete! Friend ko pick up karna toh ek bahaana hai! Tujhe toh bas apni Geet ke saath waqt bitaana hai! Maan was sure he was going crazy! Why else was he here to pick up Geet from her Institute just a day after she forgave him! Yup! It is proved! I am going crazy!

Geet smiled as she followed Maan to his car. How sweet of Maan to drop her off! She thought as she sat in. As they drove off, Geet felt her heart skip a beat when his hand touched hers while changing gears. Hey Babaji! Main kyun aage nahi badh paa rahi hun! Maan toh mujhe pasand nahi karte, yeh main jaanti hun! Toh kyun mera dil aaj bhi unke liye dhadakta hai, tadapta hai?

Just then rain started pouring outside. Geet grinned, all her doubts and thoughts pushed aside for the sake of the rain.

"Maan! Gaadi rokiye!", Geet squealed.

Maa stopped the car right away and started looking around.

Geet frowned, "Kya dhundh rahe hain aap?"

"Baaraat!", Maan replied, "Kal iss tarah baaraat mein naachne ke liye gaadi roki thi na? Toh baaraat ko dhundh raha hun!"

Geet shook her head, "Nahi Maan! Baaraat nahi!"

"Toh?", Maan looked at her in confusion.

"Baarish!", Geet squealed.

"Toh?", Maan asked still confused.

"Arre! Iss saal ke pehli baarish hai! Mujhe ismein bheegna hai!", Geet announced and was about to open the car door when Maan stopped her by grabbing her hand, "Nahi Geet! Yeh pehli baarish hai! Aur pehli baarish mein duniya bhar ke chemicals hote hain! Jo chemicals hawaa mein hote hain woh sab pehli baarish mein neech aate hain! You are not getting into this rain!"

Geet huffed, "Maan! Aap kitne boring ho! Baarish romantic hota hai aur aap science leke baith gaye! Uff!" She wrenched her hand from his and ran out. Maan watched with wide eyes as Geet started dancing in the rain. He was unable to look away as like a water nymph Geet pranced around. His heart started beating fast and he had the urge to take Geet in his arms and never let her go.

Maan got out of the car and walked towards Geet without even realizing. He only came out of the trance when Geet turned around and her eyes lit up at seeing him near her. Maan could only watch as Geet grabbed his one hand with hers and placed her other hand on his shoulder and started swaying with him. On what music was she dancing, Maan did not know. All he knew was that Geet was in his arms, dancing with him and he would be a fool if he did not take his chance.

Geet was delighted when Maan joined her actively by placing his other hand on her waist and started leading the dance. On a deserted road, with rain falling heavily, Maan and Geet danced waltz to the rhythm of the rain. As Maan dipped Geet down and pulled her up, he wondered when was the last time he had so much fun! They continued to dance for a while.

Maan spun her out and spun her back in and his breath was cut short when she slammed into him. Her eyes bore into his and Maan forgot how to breathe. He stared into her eyes, his lips suddenly yearning to touch hers. He leaned a little and was surprised to see her eyes fluttered close. Just as Maan was about to kiss Geet, a truck's horn sounded. Both came out of the trance and jumped apart. Maan carded his fingers through his hair. What was he about to do? Geet could not even look at Maan, she was that embarrassed.

With unspoken agreement both got into the car and Maan drove off. There was an uneasy silence in the car that lasted even after they reached Manchanda house. Geet scrambled out of the car and ran into her house and Maan sat there for a while confused. What happened to me? Why did I want to kiss her?

Meanwhile, Khushi pouted as she stood under the awning of the medical store. Rain poured around her but she was safe due to the awning covering her head. Hey Devi Maiyya! Yeh baarish kahaan se aagayi! Khushi loved rain. But not when she had medicines for her Buaji in her hand and being so far away from her house. And especially not when she was stuck in a road where rickshaws rarely passed by. She had to get home soon to give Buaji her next round of medicines and the rain was refusing to stop and no rickshaw was coming along. Hey Devi Maiyya! Ab iss baarish mein bheegte hue, chal chalke toh hum ghar nahi jaa sakte na! Ghar toh paanch kilometer dur hai! Kuch karo Maiyya! Kuch madat karo!

Just then a car stopped in front of her and her eyes widened as Maan Singh... nahi nahi Arnav Singh Raizada stepped out. Hum kyun bhool jaate hain ki yeh Maan nahi Arnav hain! Uff! In dono ki identity change ke chakkar hum confuse hogaye!

"Khushi! Tum yahaan? Everything alright?", Arnav asked.

Khushi smiled softly, "Arnavji! Davaai lene aaye the Buaji ke liye par baarish ke wajah se yahin atke hain!"

Arnav opened the door, "Andar aa jaao! Tumhein tumhaare ghar chod deta hun!"

Khushi's eyes widened, "Sachchi?" Arnavji ke saath car mein drive! Haaye!

Arnav nodded and Khushi entered.

Arnav berated himself as he drove where Khushi was directing him to. Kya Arnav! Are you mad? You had to stop the car for her right? But what else was Arnav supposed to do when he was yearning to see her and there she was standing under the awning of the store looking so scared and lost. He had gone to ask if she was ok only to come to know how she was in trouble. And of course his idiotic heart had to help her out.

While Arnav berated himself, Khushi was stuck wondering why Arnavji was not talking to her. Uss din toh bade batiyaa rahe the! Aaj kyun nahi? Theek hai! Aap nahi baat karenge toh hum batiyaayenge!

Khushi started to ramble about her Buaji, her family, her best friend Geet not noticing that Arnav was getting annoyed. Arnav felt his annoyance rise as Khushi continued to talk. He may have helped her but at the end of the day, this was the girl who rejected him and now with his logic part berating him for helping her, Arnav was at the end of his patience.

"Will you just be quiet for a second? I am trying to drive here!", Arnav snapped in annoyance.

Khushi looked at him in shock and then her eyes started to fill up. She quieted down as she looked out of the window. Why was he so rude? Where is the sweet Arnavji that she liked? Suddenly, a kerchief was thrust under her nose and she looked at Arnav to see him offering her his kerchief with a sheepish look on his face.

"I am sorry for snapping at you! It was a tiring day at the office!", Arnav told her. Even if she hurt him, he still loved her. He could not see her sad or crying. So he lied and was rewarded with a shaky smile.

"Par yeh theek nahi na ki aap apna frustration apne dost pe utaarein!", Khushi pouted.

Arnav raised an eyebrow, "Dost?"

"Aur nahi toh kya?", Khushi pouted, "Hum ek doosre ke saath itna waqt bitaaye, itna saare baat kiye, toh hue na hum dost!"

Arnav nodded. Haan! Pyaar na sahi dost hi sahi! Atleast tum kisi role mein toh meri zindagi mein ho! I am happy with that!

"Waise aap iss area mein kaise?", Khushi asked and Arnav smiled, "Yahaan ek nursery hai! Wahin aaya tha!"

Khushi blinked, "Nursery? Yaani ki jahaan ped paudhe ugaate hain aur bechte hain?" Aur kaunsi nursery Khushi? Arnavji thoda na shaadi shuda hain jo apne bachche ko nursery se ghar leke aane chale, Khushi scolded herself.

Arnav nodded and Khushi continued to talk, "Toh aapko paidh paudhon ka shaukh hai? Kitne jhaad hai aapke ghar mein? Aur kaun kaun se? Aur...", and Khushi continued to question Arnav and Arnav continued to answer her questions as they drove towards Khushi's house.

As they reached Khushi's house, Khushi tried to open the door to get out while smiling at Arnav, "Achcha Arnavji hum chalte hain! Arre! Yeh darwaza kyun nahi khul raha?" She turned and tried to open the door but it was not opening.

"Must have jammed! Baarish ki wajah se!", Arnav spoke as he leaned over and tried to open the door. After few pushes, the door opened and Arnav turned and smiled at Khushi only to realise how close to her he actually was. His heart skipped a beat and the longing inside him reared its head. He was about to kiss her when suddenly Khushi pushed him away, opened the door and ran away. Damn! Arnav thought as he slammed the steering wheel with his hand. How stupid could you be Arnav! She wants to be friends and you were trying to kiss her! You are a fool!

Khushi ran into the house and right to her room. Arnavji humein kiss karne waale the! Hey Devi Maiyya!

Maan sighed as he stared at the night sky. He was so confused and had no idea how to clear it. He had tried to kiss her. He aka Maan Singh Khurana tried to kiss her aka Geet Handa! But why? He stared at the moon in confusion. As he stared at the moon, the memory of Geet dancing in the rain flashed through his brain and Maan was unable to stop himself from smiling. Maan! You are a businessman! Note down the points and draw the conclusion. You obviously are attracted to her! You like spending time with her; infact you try finding ways to meet her. You smile more when she is near! Her words, her thoughts leave an impact on you! As Maan thought more on this topic, he was more and more tempted to slap his forehead. Arre bewakoof! You are in love with her! Itni choti baat tu nahi samjha! Maan grinned happily. He was in love!

Maan wanted to go and hug his Daadima. He wanted to go and meet Geet right away. He wanted to dance in the rain with her. He wanted... he wanted... Maan paused as he remembered one thing that he had almost forgotten. She forgave me for changing the identity but has she forgiven me enough to accept me? Does she love me? Maan stumbled back. Ab main kya karun? Kaise pata lagaaun ki woh mujhse pyaar karti hai ki nahi?

Geet sobbed into her pillow. Why? Why they almost kissed? Now all the feelings that she had kept suppressed for so many days was coming out and she was feeling overwhelmed by it. Why cannot I move on from him? He does not love me. I should get over it. Then why I cannot? What else I am supposed to do to stop feeling this longing for him? Kyun main iss situation ko accept nahi kar paa rahi hun? Kyun yeh ummeed dil mein aaj bhi hai ki woh mera hoga? Nahi! Jab tak yeh ummeed nahi tootegi, main aage nahi badh paaungi! She sniffed as she continued to wonder what she should do to move on!

Arnav sighed as he imagined the almost kiss for umpteenth time. I should stop thinking about it, Arnav mused. But his mind refused to stop thinking about the almost kiss. Lounging near the poolside, Arnav stared at the water, wondering what to do next. Should I apologise for almost kissing her? Or should I just ignore that it happened? Aisa kya karun ki woh mere saath uncomfortable na feel kare? Kyunki agar aisa hua toh main use kho dunga! Aur yeh main hone nahi de sakta! I want her in my life even if it is as my friend!

Khushi felt her heartbeat just at the thought of being kissed. She cannot believe she actually wanted the kiss to happen. She hid her face in the pillow in shyness. Hey Devi Maiyya! Lagta hai humein unse pyaar hua hai! Khushi let out a loud squeal! I love you Arnavji!
