Its a sequel of "pehle pyaar ka pehla gum!!!"
Prologue:-
After much thinking.. He picked up the phone & dialed the landline number once again. He was so nervouss & uncertain that his fingers were littraly shaking. Suddenly he cut the call..even before it could be connected..just like he has been doing from last half an hour.
He was afraid..what if someone else picked it up?? What he will say then?? He was really nervouss...but at the same time..the longing to hear that sweet voice was too much to bear OR ignore.
It has been so many days that he had heared that voice. Finally making up his mind..he took a deep breath & once again dialed the number & he closed his eyes waiting for someone to pickup..wishing& praying that someone to be the one..whom he wanted.
"Hello..??" ..he snapped open his eyes...recognaising the voice & its owner. His heart started beating so fast hearing that voice af ter almost whole three weeks.. He felt so many emotions filling his heart in that one moment. He felt happy, excited & a calm setteling in his heart replacing the restlessness which he has been feeling from past few days. At the same time..there was nervousness, uncertainty.. What he was going to say now?? What excuse he will give for calling suddenly?? & most important.. The reaction.. How that person on the other side will react??..after knowing that its him on the line..!
Part1
"Geet"...he took her name with hesitation, fearing her reaction. He waited for her to say something..to shout at him, curse him, fight with him, anything..but nothing came his way. There was complete silence on the other side..which increased his nervoussness & fear. Is she still mad at him?? Doesnt she want to talk to him anymore?? Did she really meant it..when she had said that she wont talk to him??
So many questions & doubts came to his mind..scaring his heart in those few seconds of silence! At one point he really thought that she doesnt want to talk to him & probably has cut the call. His restlessness increased with each passing second. Is she still there or not?? This silence & uncertainty was getting unbearable for him now.
Not being able to controll anymore...he despearatly called her name once again.. And to his hearts little relief... this time he got her response..
"MAAN...!!"
She hadnt expected him to call her..never! Infect, after whatever had happened between them...she had doubted that he will even speak to her again ever. So reciving a call from him was really unexpected.
But she was happy. Hearing his voice after so many days, gave her heart, the peace for which it has been carving from so long..so despeartly.
She has been crying silently, all days & nights, hiding in her room and pretending to be happy & smiling in front of others.
And now, after hearing his voice...All those feelings & emotions which she has been trying to supress, all the pain & hurt she has gone through in these few days, just coz of him, everything came out in the form of tears!
But there was a slight smile playing on her lips too, with those tears.
Smile.. Coz he has called her.. finally!
Smile... Coz finally, god has granted her hearts most desired wish..for which it has been parying with its every beat!
Smile...coz of the realisation, that may be she cant get her first love..
But she still has her best friend whos friendship is too pericious for her to loose.
She was happy after so many days. She was lost in her new found happiness, when she heard him call her again.. & she replied this time..
"maan.." ..she wisphered with a teary smile.
He could clearly feel the surprise in her voice.
Part2
He sat there, cluching the reciver close to his heart, with a sweet smile playing on his lips. His heart was finally at peace, knowing that she was not mad at him anymore. He had been really tensed in these last few days..fearing her anger...but she didnt even mentioned anything about that & talked to him like her usual self.
He had wanted to appologies for his rude behavior..he even had practiced it many times..but when it was time to do it..he couldnt..actually he didnt wanted to take risk by reminding her about their so called fight!
They talked for few minutes..
She had wished him "happy diwali" & also asked about him & his family. He had missed her talks so much.
Pal-pal soch me aana naa..
Hulchal dil me machana naa..
Dekho meri neende udana naa..
Dheere-dheere sapno me aana naa..
"She is really sweet.. But usse bhi jyada.. She is naughty!"...he chuckled at his own thought as he remeber how he had witnessed her naughty & carefree side for the first time...
For her..their first encounter was in school.. But she still didnt know that he had seen her even before that!
Flashback:
He & his elder brother were sitting in their balcony, disscusing about his new school which he was to join in a coupal of days. Thats when he saw her for the first time. She was with two other girls. And the reason he has noticed her..was the funny incident that followed.
It seems that they were arguing on something..but nothing serious..it was more like in playful way...thats what it looked as they were laughing in between the argument.
Their laughs & ocassional cursing...got his & his brothers attention..in the other wise silent surroundings. she & one of those girls..were teaming up..against the third girl.
They couldnt hear them clearly..but it looked like that third girl had said something to her which made her really upset..and as a reaction..she pushed that girl slightly..
None have expected what happene next. That girl fell back..flat on the road! ..as she was not prepared for that push & lost her balance..!
"Ohh..." his brother had exclaimed..feeling sorry for that girl.
She and that other girl also had been shocked with the events.. All were silent..
That third girl was staring the two with angery eyes.. After it got confirm that the girl wasnt injured.. She n the other girl started gigling..seeing the angery face of that third girl, which was turning red coz of the anger and more in embarrasment!
"I am going to kill u both..just wait.." that third girl had shouted..warning them..before marching twords them to take her revenge.
She started backing away.. shouting that she was really sorry and it wasnt intentionl. And then started their chasing game..with their laughs echocing in the silent lane... And soon they were out of his sight.
"bechari..pata nahi kya haal hoga ab uska.." ..his brother commemted.
"bechari? That girl fell coz of her pushing.." he taunted.
"she didnt meant to..and it wasnt serious.. Fir usne sorry bhi toh bola na..!" ..his brother argued.
He & his brother looked at each other silently..then both burst out laughing loudly...
"she is really sweet.." his brother said.
"han..but she is naughty too..!" he said smiling.
Flashback ends!
Tujhe...
Meri...
Kasam...
Part3
He had never thought that he would meet her again..
But he was pleasntly surpised when he saw her during the prayers, in the school ground..!
Tujhe..
Meri...
Kasam...
And was even more surprised at the co-incidence, when he got to know that she was in the same class as his, that she was his classmate!
In the classroom..which was full with so many unknown faces..she was the only one whom he knew! Though he hadnt talked to her or knew her in proper sense..still she felt familiar..she was not a stranger to him, like rest of the class!
Pal-pal soch me aana naa..
Hulchal dil me machaana naa..
Dekho meri neende udaana naa..
Dheere dheere sapno me aana naa..
He had told his brother that the girl from that day.. was in his class! His brother had said, "great! fir toh..tumhe class me kabhi bor nahi hoga! There will be many entertaining incidence..in ur class..hai na.." and had winked at him reminding him of the other day..which made them both to laugh again!
"But be careful han..dont ever mess with her..warna..pata haina.." his brother had teased.
"ohh..dont worry.. i know how to balance my self..aur mujhe toh warning ki bhi zarurat nahi..i would be prepared already!" he replied winking back.
He was adjusting in his knew school..even had made few friends.. But never talked to her. He got to know that she was the topper of the class as well as school! To be honest..incially he thought that she was snobish types... He didnt had any valid reason for thinking like that about her... But he just felt like that.. As thats the normal case with class topper's generally..and May be cause he used to notice her oftenly while she never paid attention to him!
But his thinking and opinion about her had changed completely..when he for the first time, had asked her for her notes! Not only had She given him her notes.. but had helped him also with assignments & all.
And then they become friends! He always felt comfertable with her. She was different from others and they clicked instantly. They used to fight on small small things..and he used to love arguing with her. He used to do the exactly opposite of her saying...just to irritated her..to get her angery...coz she looked more cute with that angery face!
She used to get so annoyed from his teasing.. that used to stop talking to him.. And then he used to curse himself for upseting her.. He used to irritate her even more to get her to talk to him.. And eventually, one way or other he used to melt her anger and then they would be back.. like before!
He never realised when they become best friends! When they got so close that he never needed anyone else..just her! They had become a team and used to enjoy alot!
He had many times shared their fun tales with his brother. He used to tell him..that how they did some prank on their other friends & all.
He used to talk about her so much that his brother had asked playfully.. "teri class me bas wahi ek ladki padti hai kya..? "
he had ignored his brothers question..with thinking much or taking in the hidden meaning in it.. and continued telling him about them..about her!
Part4
He had found a special friend in her..with whom he can share anything & everything. The bonding with her was exceptional!
He loved spending time with her..at school, in lunch break..sharing food with her, then at tutions! He would be always with her only! Though he had other friends also..but none was that close to him.
He had spent the best time of his life with her..doing all the masti & having great fun!
She was special to him..thats the reason that he, himself had told her about his irritating "nicknames" which he never liked to tell anyone! She had teased him... But he didnt mind her teasing.. Had it been someone else, he would have shown that person, the consiquences of messing with him.
But like he said earlier..she was the exceptional case! She was the only one, who was allowed to tease him, irritate him, shout at him, scold him..etc.
Tujhe..
Meri..
Kasam..
Tujhe..
Meri..
Kasam..
He knew she was special to him..but never thought why?? He couldnt stay without talking to her. He always felt that he can show his right on her. He never asked nor needed her permission to share her things! He even used to tell her..whom she should talk and whom to ignor.. "as he was her best friend..so he knew what was good for his friend!" ..thats what he used to tell himself! While in the reality..it wasnt the only reason.
All the while, he was thinking..that its just friendship! Everything that they share..his liking towards her..their unique bonding..their fights..their teasing..their spending so much time together..everything..everything was just part of their beautiful & unbreakable friendship.
He had never gave it a thought that it could be something else..something deep..something more than just friendship!
Once, like usual he was telling his brother about his day at school. And as usual, everything started with mentioning of her and even ended with her name only! He never realised it as he was very much ingrossed in telling all the interesting stuff.. But his brother had noticed it!
"kahin..tum dono ka koi..scene toh nahi hai na..hmm?" ..his brother had asked with a teasing smile.
And like usual..maan had laughed hearing that.. "u should thank god..that she is not here, to hear ur talks..warna toh..she would have teached u a very good lesson for even thinking anything like that..let alone saying it..."..he had replied..admist his laughter.
He really had a hard time controlling his laugh..imagining geet's reaction if she would have listented to his brothers talks! He was sure that she would have gotten really mad..as she didnt like these kinds of talks.. She is very sobber girl!
Never had he thought that things could be different.. That there could be more to their friendship.
But then things started changing. He started experiencing some new emotions & feelings...which he had never felt before. And However hard he may tried..he couldnt ignore or supress them. Insted they kept increasing each passing day..against his constant efforts of getting rid of them!
To be continued...
