"Her eyes had their own vocabulary ; What a beautiful language to learn"
"Will I ever see you again", a 10 year old asked her departing friend . "Yes you will", He answered. "What if we don't recognize each other or we are lost in this vast crowd", She doubted. "I will be always with you no matter where you go or who you become, just remember to think about me and you will find me in front of you", He assured holding her hands wiping her tears. "Please wait for me, I will return", He said. "I will", She promised. With that it was time to go. With one final look at the young girl behind him, he left. She cried but as time passes you tend to forget many things and people as life does not stop and so did she, but in a little corner of her heart she did had that memory , it was just like it was waiting for something or someone to reignite that spark it once had.
Geet, now working as a leading fashion magazine editor, she forgot that long lost friend or that is what everyone thought.
As for him , he just couldn't forget her her eyes always have captured his heart and mind, so it was hard to forget them. Maan-he yearned for her every single day, praying they meet again, a fashion photographer himself with girls always ready to throw themselves over him, he was just searching those eyes.
The model in front of him would have seem very beautiful to the world, but he could the emptiness in her eyes. After completing the shoot he called it a day. He was returning home, when he saw those eyes across the street, the ones he has been looking for since ages, but before he could get to her, she was gone. She on the other hand was waiting for a friend but was disappointed when the person was late and she hated latecomers so she left. She for a reason looked back, as she thought there was someone...familiar. He was highly disappointed and left with a sad look. "I guess I can never meet her again", He thought walking to his house.
The next day, he walked into his studio to see a visitor there. His assistant Pinky told him about that. He asked her to escort the visitor in. "Hello", He heard a beautiful voice. "I actually wanted to request you for a shoot for our magazine", Geet continued. "I am sorry but I am busy with ...", Maan looked up and stopped it was the same eyes. "Oh, we really wanted you to, as they say you are the best option for this project, Mystic Eyes, as we call it", She said dejected. "Ah, wait, I ..I mean I can help you", Maan said. "But...Sir",His assistant tried but he stopped her. "Thank you Mr Maan,"She said gleefully forwarding her hand. "Its alright..Miss..", He asked. "Geet", She answered. "Miss Geet", He smiled. "About your payment...", She said but he interrupted her saying, "I will have a special price for this shoot". Her beautiful hazels looked up to him and he was again captivated with those beautiful hazels he has been looking for years. At her still confused look he smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Geet, it won't be anything that you can not give me", He smiled making her relaxed. "Alright Mr Maan then it's a deal", She smiled.
After she left his assistant asked her, "Sir, why did you take up this assignment when we already have work pending". "I wanted to do something from my heart this time", He answered and looked at his assistant who gave him a confused look. "Alright Sir, anyway the model is waiting for you, so can we resume the work", She asked her boss. "Certainly", He smiled. He got back at work and he again captured the beautiful eyes of the model. He could tell his model today was happy, her eyes smiled. He never captured the body like any photographer because he believed the eyes are the windows to the soul and he aspired to capture the soul of the models. He finished up his work by night much to the chagrin of his assistant who had a date with her boyfriend that evening.
He returned home to be greeted by his friend, Dev. "I guess you found her", He smiled. "How did you know", He asked surprised his friend found his little secret. "Pinky called me that you will be late tonight thanks to the offer made by a young woman who visited today, she was really annoyed", He laughed. "I know, but just when I thought I would never see her again, destiny bought her right to me",Maan gushed. "So did she recognize you",Dev asked. "I guess no", He smiled sadly. "I guess people do forget when we get older , right. Not that I blame her, but a tiny part of me wished she remembered me like I did. Guess, I have to start all over again", He sighed. "I'm happy you did not give up",Dev said. "Nope, not yet. Those eyes had an everlasting effect on me. Her eyes. The beautiful spark in them when she smiled, the innocence and the confusion, I witnessed today. I really want to see what else her eyes can express", He said. "Good luck with it my friend, I truly pray for your happiness",Dev said getting up and going to the kitchen to help himself. They had their diner and Dev went to his house, while Maan awaited the following day with baited breath.
Next day, he entered the publishing office, and like any other place he went this time also he grabbed the attention of the female population there. He went up to the main office and Geet's assistant guided him to her cabin. After a while,Geet entered and apologized for the delay which he shrugged off. She then started to diligently tell him about the project and what they want. "Miss Geet", He started but she interrupted him, "Geet, will do". "Alright then , Geet, I have a special request from you", He said looking her way. "What is it", She asked now getting her attention on him. "If you don't mind, I really have someone in mind for the cover, so could we...", He finished nervously.
Geet thought for a while, "Alright, we trust your opinion, my staff and the chief editor told about your achievements in this particular field, so I guess we will go with your idea. I was curious about something, if you don't mind can I ask you", She asked. "Yeah sure", He said. "Why do you only take pictures of a person's eyes", She asked. "I was searching for a person whose eyes made an everlasting impact on me,"He said looking up to her intently and she was a little caught off guard by that.
"Your girlfriend", She asked. "Not exactly...just a long lost friend whom I made a promise to meet. And I consider the eyes to be the windows of your soul , so I want to capture a person's soul in my camera", He finished still looking at her. "So this friend , do you recognize him/ her", Came her next question. "I do...but I guess she doesn't", He smiled. His heart ran a marathon when his eyes met hers but he still maintained his composure. "Do you have any picture of her", She asked. "Nope, but my heart knows her . Her eyes have been engraved upon my memory and my heart", He said. Geet was impressed with his thoughts, whatever she heard about the man was correct she concluded.
She took him to their studios and their was an array of models there, "You can select your candidates amongst them", She told him. Maan looked at the beautiful girls and selected the ones whom he found apt for this project. They took a break and Maan requested, "Geet, could you join me for the coffee break"."Yeah , sure", She smiled. She did not know but Maan reminded her of someone...her memories were hazy but she was sure he did remind her of someone. She felt an attraction towards this man she met, it was not his looks but she was captivated by his eyes which looked so deep, like he could see through her. "So what would you like to have", Maan asked once they were settled. He has taken her to a nearby cafe and now he looked at her for her suggestion. "Umm...A vanilla shake will do, what about you", She asked. "Latte", He said. "So Maan, where are you from", she asked. "Delhi", He said. "Great, I have been there too", Geet said. "I know", He said. "How did you know", She asked surprised. "Umm...that is for you to find out. Let's have our snacks, or we will be late for work", He diverted her mind not letting her think in that direction. They had their little snack and left for work. He reminded her of someone but she could not put her finger on it.
Geet noticed Maan was exceptional at his work. He was strictly professional with his models and the photographs came out beautifully. "These are really beautiful", Geet complimented him. "Thank you, I am really glad you liked them", Maan said happy to think she liked them. The tenure of the given project was a month as it had to be published for the next issue of the magazine. Maan secretly clicked pictures of Geet, he did not know if she would remember him so he just secretly made a few memories for himself to cherish. He enjoyed his day, working there and got to know a little more about Geet, like how she hated latecomers and that was the reason why she left that day when he saw her across the street . They were now lunch buddies, taking meals together and many of Geet's co workers were jealous of the fact and that started the rumor mill.
Geet never bothered about all that she faced it before but she was a really strict professional and she gave them in their faces, "I guess you all our paid for work not for gossiping behind my back . One more word out of you all and I will throw you all out ", She yelled on her staff . That was the time he saw her fiery hazels again a really different expression which he never thought they could express.
"Geet you scared me, I didnot know you had such a fiery temper", Maan laughed to which she smiled, "I just can't tolerate nonsense Maan and these people won't stop if you don't give them in their faces.Now eat up fast or we will be late for work"."Yes Geet, else I might be the victim of your fiery temper", He said dramatically making Geet laugh. "Honestly Maan, I wish we could have met sooner, you are really a funny man ", She smiled.
"What if we did...and were lost in this crowd again", He spoke seriously looking at her again making her surprised with his words. Geet looked up to him to find something but agin he shrugged off and did not let her put the pieces together, "Ah Geet look we are already late". They got back to work but now Geet has started to think over a little on his words and actions. His folks back home,noticed his different behavior and they were happy to see him happy.
Geet on the other hand was really falling for him, she loved to spend time with him. His genuine nature and care was making her fall for him . He was really chivalrous whenever they went out for their lunch. He hated if anyone made a pass on her making her feel protected, slowly she has started trusting him. Her heart raced whenever she saw him looking at her. His eyes were familiar. Her parents were happy to see her happy, it was really hard for her when her friend left, she really wanted to wait for him but her folks moved in this new city to get a better living. Since then, she has only made herself work non stop to get where she was today.She looked forward to each day to meet him. Maan was really elated to spend each moment with her and capturing them while they last.
Just another day, she entered to see a girl with him, she thought she must be the person who he was looking for and felt a little sad but then what was she expecting. He was a nice person and he was kind to her like he is with others. She was leaving when he called her, "Geet, meet my friend Meera", He said introducing both. Geet smiled but her eyes didn't , Maan realized something was wrong so he thought to ask later. Meera smiled looking at the young woman in front of her and gave a teasing look to Maan who smiled in return. "Great to meet you, Geet", She forwarded her hand. "Same here", Geet faked another smile. "Maan, you continue , I just had some work", She said leaving from there. Somehow her heart bled to see him with someone else. She thought she was being selfish to interfere in a friend's love life but what could she do when she has fallen hard for him. Maan followed her, "Are you alright", He asked once he found her. "Yes, let's go", She said. Maan nodded not wanting to invade her personal space more than necessary.
He was sad to see her so distant but he did not make it obvious. One such day Geet asked him, "So , is Meera the friend you have looked for, you must be happy now". He was surprised by her sudden question and amused at her assumption. "I would have, if she wasn't married to my friend Dev", He replied making her look up at him shocked. "She is married, oh I'm sorry that must have hurt you more", She tried to cover up, but her insides were dancing happily. "Were you jealous", He asked. "Nope why would I be", She said. "I would have been happy, if you were, your hazels would have been more beautiful with that expression", he spoke softly. She was surprised to hear that. "I guess you could not recognize me after all", He said getting up to leave. "Let us go, we have only three days left. I will be leaving then. ", He was about to move forward but she stopped him.
His words about him leaving finally made her join all the dots together, him knowing of living in Delhi and all his actions reminded her where she met him so when was about to go she held his arm, "I remember, where I met you. You said you would return but you didn't I did wait for you, but my parents moved to this city and here among the big crowd I lost myself, the self who was waiting for you. I won't be dishonest with you, but are you planning to leave me again. If you are, I won't be waiting for you again, because this time I'm not letting you go. Your words, your actions it seemed all too familiar but now when you said you would leave, it hit me like a flash that it was you I was waiting for". "I don't plan to let go again",He spoke after a pause. "I was a little disheartened when I did not find you at your old place, since then I'm looking for you because my love for you never died , not once. Your eyes were engraved on my heart and I knew I would recognize you right away and I did when I found you standing across the street but before I could have got to you, you were gone and for once when I came in terms that I might never see you, you came for my help. I was a little selfish myself, to take on this project and may be just may be make you remember our times again. How can I think of the cover page with someone else's eyes, when I found the most mystic eyes here. I'm not letting go too. So will you shoot for the cover page, this was my price for the project", He said. She smiled and nodded. They completed the shoot and the magazine was published with the most beautiful pair of hazels on the cover page.
After 6 months,
It was one of their dates but Mann decided to pop the question to her, Maan has arranged everything and in these months they have grown closer than usual , now they can read the language of their eyes.He was really nervous but was determined. Geet entered the restaurant and smiled to see it decorated beautifully. She was awed by the ambiance of the place . What surprised her more were the pictures of hazels which was put in that place. Geet was overjoyed and overwhelmed to see his love for her , "When did you take them", She asked. "I took them when we worked together , just to make some memories , just in case you did not remember me I would have cherished those times forever". After a little meal ,Maan went down on his knees and proposed her, "My love for you will never die, as it connects me to your soul through your beautiful eyes. I love more each second , each day.Will you accept me and my love for you".
"I do,Maan, and I promise I will forever love you", She smiled. He kissed her which she reciprocated.
Their families were delighted and they got married in a grand ceremony . A love born through the eyes was recognized by their hearts and connected two young souls together in a bond that was everlasting.
