Chapter Seven

Sweet Goodbye

It was very strange as two completely different people came to being friends, and started liking each other's company. Geet was still apprehensive, but couldn't say no to him. So, they met almost daily, mostly in her father's book shop. The arrogant boy had no inhibition in shedding his uptight attitude just to be her friend. Indeed strange, but as long as you don't experience it yourself a mere writer cannot express it through words.

Meeting before departure...

Early morning 4 am

She couldn't sleep a wink, and she wondered why this uneasiness. She sat up and thought of going out to her balcony to take a fresh breath. And to her surprise she saw a familiar jeep.

Her heart beats rose and she frantically looked around, and there she spotted him, in the cold, dozing off on the bench in front of her house.

"Maan she gasped, and didn't know how to call him. She didn't want to sneak outside and humiliate her father again. Her step mum had given her lectures every now and then about girls being "ghar ki izzat, and how she was ruining her father's respect in the society. Her father was her everything and wouldn't even dream of hurting him. But her heart was beating so fast and she had tears in her eyes due to this conflict. He is there out in the cold and something hurt inside, after all she was awake all night worried about him, but she didn't want to believe it.

...She was very young, and at this age emotions go haywire. But she had learnt to bury her emotions since her loving mother Rano left her. She took a deep breath and hid behind the curtains not wanting him to find out that she saw him. She spied once again on him, promising it would be the last time, and saw him shivering in his sleep. All reason left her and she sneaked out, in her night pajamas, into the cold to him.

She tried to speak but words wouldn't come out of her mouth, the cold was so overpowering. She shook him, and he woke up.

"Maan, what are you doing here? she uttered with her teeth chattering together.

"Sorry but I had to meet you before leaving.

"But we met yesterday.And your flight was at 4 am? You missed your flight! Babaji! she gasped and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Geet, calm down, I didn't miss the flight. It is at seven am, and just came to say bye.

She was speechless more due to him than the cold.

Maan noticed that and came close to her. He held her hands in his and looked into her eyes. Geet shivered at the close proximity and pulled out her hands rubbing them together.

"Geet I'll miss you. Can I call you sometimes?

"Ughhh...Maan...I...I... she fumbled in doubt

"Please he cutely requested and her brain gave up the stiff fight with her heart.

"Hmmm...Okay.

"Thank you.So...it is time for me to go now. Bye Geet, and he walked away.

She closed her eyes, holding her breath.

Suddenly she felt him hugging her tight, stunning her.

The cold air brushed against her skin, and she felt empty. She let out a breath of cry, tears running down her eyes, and her lips quivering.

He was long gone, and she was just dreaming the hug.

She ran inside into her room shivering and shaking with tears wrecking her body and heart. He was gone but why was it so difficult for her to accept that.

"Bye Maan, she let out a gasp.
