Is Ek Din a magic realism romance?
Maan was working in his office. It was dark outside, all the employees were gone. Maan's mobile phone rang, he glanced at screen, it was Sameera. He picked up the call. Hello. Sameera:maan can you come over.
Maan:nah, i can't, i am still at the office.
Maan underlined the last line on the page. This need to be changed, he thought.
Sameera:maan plz.
That please got maan's attention like nothing else would have gotten because there was one thing sameera never allowed herself to do and that was to beg for someone's attention. Maan knee that cardinal rule, he had helped her develop it.
Maan: sam, what happened?
Sameera:i i saw him toda..y, the last word was broken by a hiccup.
Maan:you are at your apartment? He shut the file and grabbed his csr keys and strode toward the lift. His coat laid forgotten on the chair.
Sameera: hmm.
Maan:i will be there in 15 minutes. Ok.
15 min later
He rang the bell, she opened thr door immediately, she must have been waiting beside the door.
Maan hugged her. She clunged to him,tears silently rolling down her cheeks. Sameera never cried loudly. She had once told him that some people enjoy other people torment, so it was better to never let them know about your pain.
He gently rubbed her back and lead her inside the apartment. With his foot he shut the door. He picked her up and carried her to the room and put her on the bed. He laid beside her and gently moved his fingers through her hairs. She kept crying and he let her. He said nothing, knowing that this silent support was what she needed right now. After some time, he felt her tears stop. He moved his neck up and peered at her face. She was sleeping. He gently removed her grip from his neck and placed her head at pillow. Then, he got up, got one of his clothes and changed in washroom.he called her agent and asked him about her schedule today and her meeting with clients. He quietly listened the agent reply and then cut the call. He switched his mobile off. Then, he came back and laid beside her on the bed. He was very tired, after sometime, he fall asleep as well.
Next morning
Sameera woke him in the morning with a cup of a coffee and a smile.
Sameera: sorry, maan i am really sorry, i don't know what overcame me.
Maan: sam, how can you love him so much. Its been 5 years. He is not worth it.
Sameera: i keep telling myself the same thing maan. I thought i was over him but then, i went to meet a client and he was with him, he never said anything, he didnot even looked toward me again. I felt i felt like i was back in the college, his cintempt made me feel like i was a tramp, a wh**e, like i was nothing worth looking at, i was nothing maan, i was nothing. I kept standing there looking at him. He looked toward the client and said, he wanted a model with class to do this project, not a wh**e. He walked away and still i could not say anything.
Sameera lowered her face shamefully.
I have no one in this world except you. You are my best friend.
Maan: i thought you were doing movie with a big banner, so why did you want to do the modelling project in the first place.
Sameera: it was suppose to do the fund raising for an NGO which helped unmarried mothers.
Maan that *** and he had the gut to face you and call you names. how can he do that to you, what kind of person he has become. Maan looked at sam's guilty face and said, stop it, stop right there, dont start blaming yourself for his crimes.
sameera looked quietly at him, she suddenly looked very tired like s mask had slipped revealing the inner face. she said, enough maan, how long you will protect me, for how long you will try to prove that i am right. i am wrong maan, i have seen life closely but i still wished a happy ending for myself. i looked at sky and thought that i could be one of the stars. i am nothing then dirt. i am so tired, i just want to die, i don't want to fight anymore. tears rolled down her face. i can't be your lover anymore maan. i feel nothing maan, i lied to the doc and i lied to you.
Maan hugged her, sam why did you do it, yiu should have stopped me.
Sameera: i failed everything maan, i was not a good daughter, not a good student, i was not a good lover but i wanted to be a good friend. I knew you were so worried because of me and i did not wantwd it and then, later, i didnot want to hurt your self respect as a male. But i know, somewhere you always knew it.
Maan sighed, what a messed up pair we two are but you know what you are hot and very sexy and i din't regret what happened.
Sameera:you are always a gentleman.
Maan tried to steer the cinversation toward a lighter mood.
Maan: no you are wrong just ask geet about it. I am sure she will provide you a list.
Sameera laughed. You and your Geet mantra. I am sure she think highly of you.
Maan:the only thing she think about me is to expose my true face to the family.Both laughed while maan thought but lately they did not had any serious fights.
Sameera:thanks maan for always being here when i need you. I wish i could help you some way.
Maan thought silently and a plan formed in his mind. Actually, be ready at 8 tonight. Dress formally. I will pick you up .
Sameera: but where are we going.
Maan: its a surprise and now make some breakfast for me while i take shower. I have not eaten anything since lunch yesterday.
******
Geet was very tense at breakfast. Maan has not come home yet. She had called him first time in her life but his mobile was switched off. She kept thinking weird things, worrying may be he had an accident.
Dadima asked servant to go and wake up maan for the breakfast. Raj, let him sleep ma, he must be tired.
Dadima: he did not eat dinner yesterdayits not good to sleep empty stomach. Geet said, i don't think he came home. Everyone looked at her. Geet, i need his help solving a question and i kept waiting for him but he did not came home.
Darji looking worried said, did you try his mobile number, geet, his mobile was switched off.
Dad called at office and asked about maan, maan came on the line. Yes dad? Maan why are you still at office, you did not came home last night? Were you at office? Maan no i crashed at a friends. I will come home later.
Dad said to everyone at the table, everything is ok. Excuse me, he went to his study and closed the door. Maan which friend? Maan remained silent at the other end and then said, sameera.
Dad: sameera as in sameera gupta?
Maan:yes. There was something in his tone that kept raj from asking anything further. He said instead, i hope you will not do anything to embarass the family.
Maan: there is nothing to be embarassed about, i am not ashamed of my friendship with her and i will not tolerate any interference.
Raj changed the topic and asked him about his meetings.
*********
Geet went with her friends to buy her birthday party dress, the theme was white. She selected a white colour shalwaar qameez which simple but elegant. she checked her list. Dress, jewellery, shoes, maan's gift, everything wad done.
Geet said happily, everything is done.
Fari nopes, you still have to buy the card. Geet, what card? Fari replied, birthday card. Geet, no i think a gift is enough. Iqra glared at fari and said why are you to trying subtly to tell her. with geet one has to say everything clearly.
Geet: what do you mean?
Pooja: geet do you want to spent rest of your life as his watchman, noting when he comes and whrn he goes.
You have to tell him about your feelings, i am sure that saro will not confess until you said it first.
Fari: come on geet this is a great opportunity, i know you cannot admit it on his face that you love him, you will become so red that he will think you have sunburn.
Pooja: so simply write down what you feel about him in the card and put it in his room along with the gift. That's it.
Geet tried to refuse but they insisted that this was the best time. They have been pestering her until she admitted to them that she loved him.
Author's note: I am setting the stage for Maan to know but plot is taking time. I think that in next part, he will know it.I will update it tomorrow. sorry for grammer mitakes, i didnot edited this part.
