here is the next update 😃
Chapter Gi woke up the next day with a big smile on my face, i dreamed about my favorite animal.. the Lion, how childish that sounds, but i really love dreaming about lions being friendly with me, and running around with them, it made me really happy.. i still had that smile on my face when i looked at my mobile, i sighed.. i have 2 missed calls from Maan at 11:30 pm. im glad i set my mobile silent when at night, i got up and walked towards the door, remembering my dream, giggling as i opened my door, i stopped and shouted loudly
Amit was walking towards the bathroom shirtless, he shouted with me then stopped as i stopped "
GEET! you scared me!"
"
i scared you?! YOU scared me!" i said hiding my eyes with my hands
"
ha?"
"
you are shirtless!!"
"
oh damn!" i still didnt open my eyes but heard him run towards his room "
ok, you can open your eyes now"
i took one hand away from my eye and looked to see him in his underwear shirt, i sighed and put both hands down "
good morning" i smiled at him
"
good morning, sorry for that" he smiled was about to go inside the bathroom when he stopped "
im taking a shower, will be long.. you go ahead" i went to the bathroom and came out pretty fast, i was going to my room when he stopped me "
why are you up at 6 am?"
i looked back at him "
i slept early last night" i was honest, it's not like Maan would be outside waiting at 6 am!
"
oh" he nodded walking towards the bathroom
"
why are you up so early?" i asked as i stood at my bedroom door
he blushed, its the first time that i see him blushing, he was looking down "
i want to cook breakfast for Shublee.. she's still sleeping"
"
that is so sweet!"
he blushed more, smiled shyly at me "
ye i guess.." then got inside the bathroom
i sighed as i closed my bedroom door, am i ever going to find someone like Amit? so nice and caring.. so funny and so gentle, maybe Maan is like that.. i stopped at that thought, hit my forehead then started to wear my home clothes which is basically jeans and my favorite red shirt, love this one.. i got out of my room to see Amit drying his hair "
you need help?" i offered
"
ye sure" he grinned
we both went to the kitchen and started cooking, he knew exactly what to cook for her that would make her go ga ga over him again, as if she isnt already "
you know what's missing in this tray?"
he checked the tray, then looked at me "
nothing?"
"
rose!"
"
oh ye!"
i ran towards the vase in our living room, mom LOVES roses! she ALWAYS buys them, even Amit complains about that, he wants to buy her roses but she already buy them for herself "
there" i gave him one, he put it in his mouth and i laughed at him
"
alvida senorita" he winked at me holding the tray
"
alvida senior" i giggled as he was walking towards their bedroom, i looked across the hallway as he struggled to open the door but he opened it, and i heard mom laughing at him, i smiled and walked to sit on the sofa, just thinking what to do now? i sighed and switched on the TV, i stopped at a channel that was showing a nice movie, im not a good movie watcher, unlike mom and Ela.. who would just forget themselves whenever there is a Bollywood movie on TV, but this one was nice.. it wasnt a Bollywood movie, maybe thats why i was really glued to the TV, then.. my butt literally started shaking, i jumped off the sofa and got my mobile out of my back pocket and smiled as i saw Maan's name "
hello"
"
Geet.. did i wake you up?"
"
no, im awake"
"
oh" he paused "
i called you last night.."
"
yeah, i put my mobile on khamush.." i sat down on the sofa "
Ela would call and bug me about her boyfriend"
he paused, and i started shaking my leg.. i dont like it when he just goes silent on me "
are you free now?"
phew, finally! i smiled "
ye.." i sensed some kinda of a request is coming after that question
"
can we go have breakfast..?"
i knew it! "
where..?"
"
at that restaurant.. or no maybe not good.."
"
no its ok" its his favorite restaurant, i didnt want him not to go there cause of what happened that night
"
are you sure? you wont.. panic?"
i giggled at how he was sounding serious "
Maan, hum dost hai na?"
"
very much yes" he giggled "
teek hai then, i will come and pick you up"
"
alright" we hang up, and i froze in my place, i am going to have breakfast with Maan.. "
oh crap!" i jumped again and ran towards mom's room and knocked the door
"
yes Geet?"
"
can i talk to you for a second?"
"
are you alright hun?" mom asked
"
yeah, i just want to.. talk to Amit.." i was nervous, is this going to start another argument?
after few minutes the door was open, Amit came out and quickly closed the door behind him "
yes?"
i waved at him to move away from the door, we walked towards the living room, i looked at him, how can i say this? i just have to.. cause he asked me to do this, i looked down "
Maan called"
"
that's his name?"
i nodded "
he wants us to have breakfast[/B[" Amit didnt say anything, i looked up at him to see his eyebrows are up, they almost reached the roof
"breakfast? where?"
"[B]at this restaurant, not far away from here.."
"
name"
"
Umid"
"
oh, yeah, that's a nice restaurant.. lots of people there" he looked around searching for the clock i suppose "
its 8 am.. i guess there will be a lot of people.. ok" he nodded
"
i can go?"
"
sure" he looked away "
you want me to drop you?"
"
no, he's coming.. we will walk"
"
ok" he nodded looking down at his feet "
you want me to pick you up?"
i smiled "
he's going to walk back home with me"
he nodded then looked at me "
if he tries to do anything stupid, give me a call.."
i giggled "
ji" then my phone shook me again, it made Amit giggle at me "
hello"
"
Geet"
i quickly gave Amit my back, my face was red, i didnt know how to talk to Maan in front of Amit "
yes?"
"
im downstairs"
"
alright" i hang up and looked back at Amit "
he's here.."
Amit took a deep breath, then put his hands on my cheeks, and kissed my forehead "
call me if anything happens.." i nodded, he walked back to the bedroom
i sighed, ran towards my bedroom, wore my perfume then looked at myself in the mirror, should i let my hair open or make it a ponytail? i tried both and decided to go with let it open, i held the perfume bottle then remembered that i already did that, i didnt want to smell like i drank the bottle, i grabbed my bag, then ran towards mom's room "
Amit"
"
yes Geet" he sounds annoyed in a way
"
um, im leaving"
"
ok, dont be late"
i ran towards the door, then in the elevator, put my bag cross my body and waited until the door of the elevator opened, i walked towards the main door and stopped.. Maan was walking slowly back and forth, kicking a rock here and there "
hey" i said as i stood in front of him
he looked at me, his face was shocked "
hey.." he almost whispered
i looked down at myself "
kya hua?" he was staring at me
"
nothing.. um" he coughed "
chalo" we both walked together, i know he was still staring at me, i put my hair back my ear and looked at him "
can i say something? off friendship limit"
"
ok.."
"
you look beautiful"
my face was as red as my shirt, i looked ahead at the road "
thanks" i smiled
he sighed, as if something huge was lifted off his shoulders "
so.." i know he wants to keep this not so confusing "
you go to.. school?"
"
ye, last year of high school"
"
high.. high school?" i nodded "
that's old.."
"
old? i just turned 18 last month"
"
oh no, i didnt mean it.. old as in age.. old as in its been a while since i've been in high school"
i blinked at him "
how old are you?"
he laughed softly "
30"
i didnt realized that i stopped until he looked back at me "
30?"
"
yeah"
"
like three and zero?"
he laughed loudly "
yes"
"
wow" i slowly walked towards him with my mouth open
"
wow.." he repeated giggling
"
i never knew anyone who's 30" then i remembered "
well, there's Amit" Maan looked at me "
but he is about 38.."
"
Amit?"
is that a jealousy look i see in his eyes? "
my soon to be step father" i assured him
he smiled a relief smile, we walked in silence for a while "
your parents are divorced?"
"
no" i looked down "
my father died, 3 years ago"
"
im sorry"
he sounded so sincere that made me smile like an idiot to him "
its ok" i never said its ok to anyone whenever i mentioned my father's death, Maan was looking at me from once in a while, checking if im ok
"
we're here" he said, i smiled at him then we walked inside, i looked around, there were a lot of people like Amit said, we walked towards the table that we sat on the other night when Maan looked at me "
you want to sit somewhere else?"
"
i wont freak out Maan, chill" i sat down
he smiled, was about to sit when someone called for him, i looked at the source to see a man, wearing a suit walking towards us "
hello uncle" Maan shook his hand harshly
"how are you?"
"
im good" Maan had this annoyed smile
"how's your mother?"
"
asking about you" Maan looked at me, then back at his uncle
"you know how im busy with the restaurant" he smiled then looked at me "oh, hello"
"
uncle this is Geet" Maan looked at me again, this time.. there was worry in his eyes that i didnt understand
i dont know why ididnt even bother to get up to shake his hand "hello" i said in a very cold tone of voice, but when i shook his hand i somehow got a really not so comfortable vibes from this uncle, i looked at Maan to see his worried expressions
this uncle gave me a really weird look that i shivered and took my hand away from him "well, enjoy your food.. i'll call Raju to take your order" he walked away
Maan sat down angrily and mumbled something, he looked so irritated, but when he met my gaze he smiled that beautiful smile again "
that's my uncle.."
"
you dont seem happy to see him.."
"
he uses the same excuse for 10 years.. ever since he opened this restaurant" he paused "
so many problems started.."
"
oh" thats why i dont feel good about him "
something.. about him that made me feel.." i looked down, i shouldnt make things worse for him
"
what?"
"
never mind"
"
Geet, tell me" he demanded
i shook my head then looked at his demanding eyes "
i felt uncomfortable"
he sighed looking at his uncle who was shaking hands with someone, then he looked back at me.. his eyes soft and sincere "
im sorry you had to feel this way" he paused "
i shouldve known he'd be here at this hour"
"
Maan, its ok.." i smiled at him
Raju came, and we ordered.. when the food was here, i noticed that both me and him dont really talk while eating, so we ate in silence "
what are you plans for college?" he asked as we finished
i was holding the cup of tea with milk "
education college" i mumbled
"
you dont sound so happy about it"
"
im not, the whole teaching.. makes me really.. irritated"
he giggled "
why are you going to be a teacher then?" he had a sip of his coffee
i looked down at my cup when i said "
its my father's wish" Maan waited for me to say more "
he was a teacher, and always wanted me to be the same.. i dont mind giving up my dreams for him now.." i bit my lip trying not to cry but this subject is so sensitive
"
Geet" his voice was warm, i didnt look at him, he got up and i looked to the other side, he sat next to me but any touch from him and i will break down
"
can we go now?" i almost pleaded
"
of course" he got up again and i did, we walked in silence, my eyes were teary, i was trying to think about something else but all what i could remember is my father telling me how proud he would be if i became a teacher "
Geet" he held my arm, i didnt look at him, he put his warm hand on my chin and made me face him, my eyes were so teary he looked blurry "
oh Geet" he locked me in his arms like yesterday and hugged me to him tightly, i started to have tears, i put my arms around him and hugged him back, he moved back a little and put his hands on my cheeks then kissed my forehead "
please stop crying"
i wiped my tears away "
whenever i talk about that subject.."
"
i know" he looked at me "
i really feel weak when i see your tears, i'd do anything not to see them again"
my heart was pounding, as i slowly looked at him, he was so concerned about me, i stood on my toes and softly kissed his cheek "
thank you" i whispered, i looked at him, he was shocked in a good way
"
yeah" he spoke fast "
you're welcome.."
i smiled at him then looked back to see we are standing at our building's door "
i better go now" he nodded still taken back by my reaction "
kalvida" i waved at him and he waved back, i giggled as i walked inside the building.. elevator.. then, i was walking towards the apartment door when my phone rang "
hello" i answered without looking at the caller
"
did you arrive safely?"
i giggled "
yes, the elevator was very helpful"
he was silent for a while, i stopped at the apartment door "
can i say something?" he sounded serious
"
is it off friendship limit?"
"
yes"
"
ok"
"
i miss your face already" he whispered, my heart started to pound.. i bit my lip and felt my face burning me "
ehm" he cleared his throat "
i will see you.. later or tomorrow?"
"
i dont know"
"
ok, we will stay in touch"
"
ji"
he was silent again "
kalvida"
PRECAP"God" he rested his forehead on mine, both of us breathing heavily.. the rain still falling on us, he locked me in his arms "you drive me crazy"
"im sorry" i blushed smiling
"dont be.." he smiled kissing my forehead "i love you"Edited by blueyRu - 14 years ago
