One year, 12 months, 365 days, 8766 hrs, 525,949 minutes, 31536000 seconds had passed since she'd left her country, her home, family, friends and most important of all - him. It had been two years since her life changed in a matter of minutes.
Today she was returning home and it was bittersweet to her - she was happy to be returning to her parents, daadi, and her friends, but she wasn't looking forward coming face to face with her past heck her 'constant' - why constant you may ask? He'd been part of her life all along and whatever had happened in the past had separated them, but she couldn't forget him... and seeing him again would be a constant reminder of her past... which was extremely painful for her.
The past year had been a great experience and a good distraction, she enjoyed working with A.R.K Corp. Rudr and Gauri had become family... and Angad... what to say about him? He was a dear friend, very close to her heart he'd changed a lot from the first time they'd met. He'd gone from an indifferent, irresponsible playboy to a caring, responsible, and a charming guy.
20 minutes till she landed... and she was already thinking about going back to her safe haven... her little world where she was content.
"Air India se safar karne ke liye apka dhanyavaad, aasha karte hai ki ... Welcome to India."
Soon after landing, she collected her baggage and was headed to the receiving area expecting to see her parents. But they weren't there... no one was... she scanned the area once again, when she felt someone tap her shoulder startling her... it wasn't the tap, but the familiar current that went through her body... and she hoped against hope that it wouldn't be who she thought it was.
But alas, her luck betrayed her again... it was him...
"Babaji... maine apka kya bigada hai, kya sabse pehle mujhe issi se milwana tha... jisse main apne khayalon se door rakhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon.."
"Handa... back to day dreaming again as soon as you see me? C'mon not even a hello, hi, or just a hug for an old friend" he said teasingly and pulled her in for a hug.
She was too shocked to say anything, but as soon as she felt his hands go around her.. she stiffened and pushed herself away from him slightly and stepped back...
"Mk? w..wh..what are you doing here ? I thought Mom and Dad were going to be here... and she looked around again to see if there was someone else with him... but he seemed to be alone and as she started to face him again... with disappointment written all over her face, when she was grabbed into a tight bear hug... Geetuuu... you're here FINALLY!!!
Ya..Yash can't breathe... let go!! Let go!! She wheezed
But am so happy to see you babe...
ya ya am happy too... lekin khushi se maar to mat de... and the strong hold around her loosened but his arms still stayed around her...
Geet turned in his arms and faced him giving him a loving smile and a peck on his cheek...
"It's so good to see you Yash... how have you been? How are simmi aunty and meer?" Geet started questioning him excitedly and yash just looked at her fondly and then placing both his arms on her shoulders he touched her forehead with his and sighed contently before replying... "god... how much i've missed u Geetu you have no idea how much we've all missed you and as for the answers to your questions... well ghar chalkar khud hi dekhlo..."
All this time Maan stood there hurt and angry feeling completely ignored and angry because she greeted 'him' with such apnapaan and him like a complete stranger... was she still mad at him for the things that had happened between them... he was lost in his own musings when Yash and Geet finished with their chattar-pattar and acknowledged his presence...
Oh Maan... sorry yaar i forgot ki you were coming to get her... I was just so excited to see Geetu... and now c'mon let's get going before sab log yahin aa jaye isse dhoondte dhoondte...
