New FF: New York times with Maan and Geet - Page 22

awesome update i like the way u put it into words..

Hey,

Penny wise and pound foolish was a great update.😉😉😉

I loved these lines: But I couldn't understand how Babji worked…it was like a roller coaster ride…I would either bump into him continuously, spend hours or days together and at other times I wouldn't even know if he was still in town…😳😳

It is weird how the universe works for us…everything preplanned for us humans. What our heart desires – it is sometimes impossible to get, and other times when we are not even looking or expecting life happens.

Maan was so cute and so considerate, as soon as he found out she was having financial difficulties and needed a phone, he got the best for her…awwww

Love Rachana

I must say

I loved them all a lot....

Part 19: House trouble...

Meer was sitting on the couch'it seemed like the sky was falling down'

Geet:" Meer sab kuch teek tho hai na?.."

Meera:" I don't think so'" She seemed lost'"Actually no'we need to look for an apartment'"

My eyes widened'I didn't know what she was talking about'

Meera:"My cousin is going back to India for good'and he has put up this place for sale'"

Geet:" Ok'.so'"

Meer was so upset she actually started shouting at me'

Meera:" Do you understand'we have three days'to look for an apartment..he has had some serious loss in his business...he wants to deal with this apartment before he leaves and wants the money to repay'"

She was silent'

Meera:" I don't blame him..in this economy everybody is facing trouble'but finding an apartment in NY is not a joke'I guess we all have our share of the problems"

She was about to break down'she was the optimistic one of the lot and if this is what house hunting in NY could do to her'then I was about to faint'

We weren't sure what to do'we both sat in the couch and were motionless for sometime'

Three days'what was I going to do'am I attracting only trouble for her? First my breakup and now this?

I made up my mind'.I decided to give her a solution'it was a tough one for me'

Geet:" Meera if you think we should split and look for roommates then that's fine with me too'"

Meera:" Are you crazy'I know I screamed at you'but Geet'I'm sorry I shouldn't have'"

Geet:" No its not about the screaming'I have been nothing but trouble for you'I don't..think'"

Meera:" Shut up Geet'just get ready'I will ask Yash if he knows a realtor'we need to start soon'I only wish we could have more time'he has helped me with the apartment for almost 1 year now'I'm unable to say anything to him'we have to leave this place"

I'm sure it was a big hit for Meer too'She would definitely miss Yash'and me'I couldn't imagine the loss'

We were off to office'I kept checking for all possible realtores from my iphone and she in hers'

The whole day went by searching for apartments on websites'we had made a few appointments to go checkout apartments later that evening'

Before I could realize..it was 3.00 PM'I was off to the coffee shop' I knew I could use that break'

He was already there'He was holding onto a coffee'

Maan:" So'15 mts then'"

Geet:" Haan'how are you?"

Maan:" I'm good'you?"

Geet:" Hmm good"

Maan:" What do you want? "

I checked and wanted the Short, decaf, non-fat toffee mocha'I know'its just too complicated'

He got me the cup and we sat down near the window'it was cold outside and the hot cup made me feel warm'

Maan:" I wanted to talk to you about yesterday'"

Geet:" No Maan'we are good'you already apologized' aur mein bahuth tired hoon'I just wanted this to be my break'"

Maan:" Are you ok'bhukar hain?"

He felt my forhead with his palm'I could really use his'I mean'I wasn't sure what I wanted'

Geet:"No Maan'I'm ok'I'm just'tired'"

I looked up to his eyes'.He was trying to get a read off of me'

Maan:" Geet'if something is bothering you'please tell me'Is it me being rude yesterday'"

He was feeling bad about yesterday'I wanted to relieve him of that guilt'I decided to share with him the real trouble that was hogging my energy'

Geet:" No Maan'I'm just'.looks like I'm not lucky with having a home'"

He was shocked'

Maan:" What happened?"

I had not broken down infront of him in a long time'but there was always one thing after another'I had to deal with Dev'financial issues'splitting the bank account'Get insurance'and then there was the phone which he ofcourse took care of'and now it was about having a place to stay'I had considered Toronto my home for a long time'but it only seved as a house'a place to stay'not a place I would call home'I was still in the search of a home.

Tears started showing up in the corner of my eyes'he got up and came and sat next to me from the opposite booth'as if he didn't want other people in the shop to see me in distress'he was always so thoughtful'he turned towards me and almost shielded me from everything and everyone at that moment'His right hand was on the high booth'almost inviting me to lean on his right shoulder'

I didn't'I just stayed still and controlled my tears'

Geet:" We have to look for an apartment'Meera's cousin is putting the place for sale'we only have 3 days'he is facing some loss in his business'"

He was listening to me patiently'

Geet:" Mein thak gayi hoon Maan'yeh sab mushkilon se lad the hue bahuth tak gayi hoon'Samaj nahi aata ki yeh sab kab katam hoga'I just want to be done with it'I always dreamed of having a home'wanting to decorate it with the sweetest memories and just live life'lekin hamesha mera ghar ka sapna toot kyon jaata hai'First I was sent away from my home in hosiyarpur before I was even prepared to leave'and then Dev tells me that I don't have a home in Toronto'Now this sudden sale of the apartment..only tells me that I'm not bound to have a place I can call home'"

<Maan's monologue>

I can solve her problem'but will she take my help'waise bhi'I don't know how to tell her'for now let me play along'

Maan:" Realtor se baat hui'Geet'look at me'look here'it is not a problem'I will make a few calls'you guys should find an apartment in no time'"

Geet:" Yeah we have a few appointments today'.but they are all in jersey'"

That was not at all I was prepared for'She cant move away from me'I was not going to let this happen'.

Maan:" No'lets check here'I know a few friends'"

She was silent'she was looking out the window'

Maan:" Geet'.I know it is not just about finding a place'I know what you mean by the instability part'.but you have to go through this'.Actually'there is no point sitting like this'tumhe is haalat mein bhi aage badna hi hoga'"

Geet:" Yeah Maan'."

Maan:" Ok'get up'Lets go lets check out a few places here'"

Geet:" Maan'you cant solve all my problems'main aapse sab cheez ke liye madad nahi le sakthi'"

I didn't want to convince her now'I know I will have my time'

Maan:" Ok'I want to come with you guys'I'm sure yash is coming right? "

She didn't say anything'we all went back to the apartment'yash wanted to drive today'

<Geet's monologue>

We only had one more day left'we still hadn't finalized on any apartment'It just didn't feel like home'and the others were beyond our reach'I didn't know what to do'

I got a call from him'.

He wanted me to meet him at the elevator of my floor' it was 7.00 PM on the clock'I wasn't sure why he wanted to meet me'

I was waiting for him to show up'he did and he asked me to hop on'

He pressed 24'I wasn't sure what was happening'Didn't he stay on the 25^th? And either ways'he didn't tell me he was taking me to his apartment'but 24?

We walked out and were standing infront of apartment 24A'He took something out of his pocket'lifted my hand and placed'.keys'

Geet:" Maan'what is this?"

Maan:" Open it'" He just said that'

I opened but I had so many questions going on in my mind'I know he probably could buy the whole floor'but this was not right'he had no right....I was mad'raging mad'

Geet:" Can you please tell me what this is?"

It was an empty apartment'a huge one'.thrice the size of the current one Meer and I was in'

Maan:" Before you say anything'lets just take a look'pehle dek lo'"

I was mad'but I can never say no to him'I took a deep breath and walked around'

It had a huge windown sitting'I don't have to talk about the view at all'A huge kitchen'that opened to the dining area'Two separate bedrooms'and a large living room'I didn't know what to say'this belonged to the loft section of the apartments'One level below the pent house'

Next to the dining area was a balcony which opened through French doors'I walked..opened the doors and looked out'I felt like I was standing on thin air'I was so high up from the ground'I looked up'

I was shocked, surprised, amazed'and had no words'diagonally up was Maan's patio'

He didn't react at all'he was patiently waiting for me to come back inside'I sat down near the window and put my feet up'He came and sat directly opposite to me'

Maan:" So'Kya yeh ghar jaisa lag raha hain yaa'?"

I cut him off'

Geet:" There was no need'Please Maan'please don't do this to me'.You cant keep helping me'How am I going to'I mean you keep asking me to stand up for myself and you keep doing things for me'why?" I was angry

Maan:" Why shouldn't I?...agar tum mere sawaal ka jawaab de sak the ho'tho'I will answer yours'"

He shut me up'.I gave him the keys and walked out'he called out for my name once'but I just left'

He stayed inside'he didn't come behind me'He will not'He is Maan Singh Khurana'

I went back home..and went straight to my bed'meer was in the kitchen'

I didn't want to seem upset'I started looking up apartments again'

He called me'

Maan:" I wasn't going to give you the apartment for free'if that can change things'"

I was silent'he waited for my response'

Maan:" This is not free'.tum kya samaj thee ho'tum khaas ho'"

He was really pushing me'

Geet:"Why did you buy it? How much did you pay for it?"

Maan:" I didn't buy it for you'if that helps...I though it was a good investment to own one more loft in this place'When this one came for sale'I bought it almost 3 years ago'I thought I could either rent or use it as a guest house'but I never got to furnishing it'"

Geet:" Oh!....maine socha'"

Maan:" Haan Geet'you should also listen to people before you are rude to them'"

Tit for tat'he got me'I laughed'

Maan:" Mein ab bhi apartment mein hi hoon'"

I put the phone down'and went to the apartment'

He was still sitting at the window'I sat next to him'almost next to him but kept my distance'

Geet:" So you will be my landlord too'"

Maan:" Rent on the 3^rd'no later than that'"

We laughed'

Geet:" So give me the bad news'how much is the rent?"

Maan:" Same as what you are paying for the current one?"

Geet:" Aah Aah'you can't.."

Maan:" I have had this place for the last 3 years'no rent'so if you pay me your current rent'I'm not loosing anything'"

I looked at him through the corner of my eye and thanked him'He simply smiled'

<Maan's monologue>

I was being more selfish than anything else'I was not going to let her walk out of this place'at any cost'

She accepted....I couldn't help think...how often she would come to the patio...that is all I was able to think...She probably has her coffee outside...or she probably comes out to read the paper...or may be I can ask her to come out...even is she didnt have anything to do at the patio...I was curious if she would ever call out to me? Only time can answer...

<Geet's monologue>

I came back home and told meera about the loft'She screamed in the shrillest voice'.she was happy she didn't have to leave the apartment'

She wanted to see the place immediately'We hugged and jumped like little girls'

He was there...always there with the right solutions for my problems...He could have told me about the apartment even yesterday at the coffee shop...but he didnt...He probably wanted that as his last option...I admired how he didn't force things on me...People with power and money...he was nothing like them..I was being moved by a subconscious force...by babaji....My journey from hoshiarpur to Toronto...from Tornoto to NY...from 10th floor to the 24th seemed like I was always talking one step closer to him...

I was home'atleast for now'
