Chapter 20
"Rules of friendship"
Maan looked at Geet bewildered, not knowing what was to come his way. He really did not want another slap or any other physical torture. She stood in front of him as she started laughing and said "Why do you look like you saw a ghost".
Maan cleared his throat as he said "Why did you look like you will eat me"
"poor you, I am a vegetarian so eating you raw is out of question and BTW I am famished, since it was your idea to spend the night here, so now could you please get me some food" Geet said it all in a breath.
"Geet ek din if you will go without food, kya bigar jayega. How am I suppose to arrange a dinner for you here in the jungle" Maan replied. Well, he could arrange for some wild fruits but what was the guarantee they would be eatable and more importantly he didn't want to leave her alone.
"That is your problem . . . we are friends so now it is your duty to get me food" Geet pouted.
"Oh . . . so friends get food" Maan asked as he crossed his hands over his chest.
"No . . . friends help each other and take care of each other BTW you seem to know nothing about friendship. Once we get back to Delhi I will teach you the rules of friendship" Geet replied with finality.
"Rules"
'Yes like . . . friends should always be there for each other and they should listen to each other and trust each other and like you despite the drawbacks you may have and rest I will tell you as they come but first please get me food"
"But--
"Please" Geet said it ever so cutely.
It was then it struck Maan.
It was night.
The weather seems good.
The girl he would like to get to know was standing right in from of him.
She wanted dinner.
Night
Dinner
Alone
DATE
Jungle date seems like a good option to go. It's unique and Geet probably will not even guess it's a date.
Decided ' jungle date.
So, now he had to arrange food.
He asked her to sit quietly and dare move an inch away from her leaf bed. She was famished and tried, but there was no way whatsoever she was going to stay alone even for a minute. One . . . It was dark and she was scared of the dark. Two . . . they were in a jungle and she was terrified of jungles. Three . . . how would he know what she wants to eat. What if he gets something that she doesn't like?
Maan started to walk away into the jungle and Geet quickly followed him. He stopped as he realised Geet was following him.
He turned to look at her and said "didn't I warn you to keep sitting"
"Friends dhamki nahi dete" Geet pouted her lips.
"Yeah right . . . friends don't warn they order and I am ordering to stay right here" Maan replied.
"I am not staying alone" Geet grumbled.
"Geet, I'll be back within half an hour" Maan tried reasoning with her.
"Half an hour . . . 30 MINUTES . . . 1800 SECONDS . . . what if some wild animal comes and eats me while I wait for my dinner, or what if tiny ants chew me, or what if those goons come back or what if it gets darker than it already is . . . hell no, I am not staying alone . . . I'll go without food but I am not staying alone" Geet blabbered as her big eyes seemed to get even bigger.
"You sure you can go without food" Maan teased.
"Yes" Geet said with certainty.
"You won't crib" Maan said as he crossed his hand over his chest.
"I don't crib" Geet said, annoyed at his reply.
"You do" Maan replied, loving to see to get all red in annoyance.
Geet opened her mouth in a wide 'O' as she heard him argue on that and she grumbled "I don't"
"You do" Maan was enjoying irritating her.
"No. I. Don't" Geet said as she scrunched her nose.
"Yes. You. Do" Maan replied.
"you're acting like Pari" Geet grumbled yet again as she placed her hands over her hips.
That was it.
What was it with her always trying to change his sex.
"Ma'am I am telling you for the last time, I am a MAN and stop changing my gender. First you think of me as Gay now you comparing me with a girl" Maan said as he tried not to yell and took a step forward.
"Look who's cribbing now" Geet said as took a step forward.
They were mere inches apart and naturally her promixity was making him lose himself all over again and before he did sometjing silly he voiced "You wanted food . . . stay here I'll get it" Maan said
"I am telling for the last time . . . I am not staying alone" Geet sated with finality.
"Geet I am your friend right, so your rule applies here and you have to trust me . . . stay here. I promise I will be back before you know it" Maan said hoping she would agree. He needed to collect himself. Moreover just a few seconds back he had heard her stomach grumble and there was no way he would let her sleep empty stomach.
"Emotional blackmail" Geet pouted her lips yet again.
"Please" Maan said it ever so sweetly, no one could refuse that face.
"Fine, but if anything happens to me I'll kill you" Geet said as she eyes him like she meant each h and every word she said.
"Deal" Maan said as he turned to leave.
Geet held his wrist as he looked at her grip and then her eyes "I'll be waiting"
Maan smiled as she left his hand and with one final look he left.
*****
Maan saw the same goons who he had beaten up. He looked around to check if there were more. When he was sure there was no one else apart from those three jerks, he pranced next to them. As soon as they saw him they ran for their lives. Maan smiled boastfully, he didn't do anything, and they simply left. He saw a bag lying next to the log those goons were sitting on. He opened it and found a sleeping bag and a biscuit packet. He was about to leave when he saw a small polythene lying on the ground. He checked it for its contents and found a chocolate, he smiled as he murmured "Geet is lucky, chocolate in a jungle"
He ran his way back to where he had left her.
*****
It had been over twenty minutes since Maan had left and needless to say Geet was scared stiff. Every time there would a sound like that of leaves rubbing against each other in the wind, or a bird squealing, or any other sound, her breath would be caught in her chest.
And then'
She heard crunching sounds and that was it.
She screamed.
******
Maan stopped running as he neared his destination.
And then'
He heard a scream.
"Geet" Maan was alarmed as he ran like a mad man.
"Geet" Maan said as he reached the place where he had left her and as soon as he saw her sitting with her eyes closed and hands over her ears, he knew she shouted out of no good reason.
Geet heard Maan call out her name and she slowly opened one eye to see Maan standing over her head, panting. She immediately jolted to stand on her feet and much to his surprise she pounced on him. She sprung her arms around his neck as she clung to him for the life of hers. She was so scared.
Maan wrapped his arms around her waist protectively as he realised leaving her alone was a bad option. He had no idea she would get so scared. He promised himself to never leave her alone . . . ever.
Her tears soaked his shirt as she blabbering in between her sobs "I'll be back before you know it, LIAR"
She tightened her hold around his neck as she said "Dare you leave me ever again"
He liked the last line.
And then all of a sudden she pushed him as he looked at her flabbergasted.
