Chapter 15
Scene 1: Geet Govind
The entire Handa family gathered in the drawing room, looking worried and apprehensive. The moment Geet walked inside, there was a choric sigh😲 followed by dead silence and shocked looks😲. They all pounded on her with their concerns and questions😭😵...Lucky wanted to know how the goons looked😆, what weapons they carried and how they spoke. He was noting it down on his notebook titled DON LUCKY🤣. The enquiry, hugging and kissing and thanking God finally ended after Geet told them a thousand times that she was okay. She told them about everything except Maan😕.
That was it...for the effect of Geet gone missing...because just a few minutes later, the scene changed drastically😆...The grim scene had transformed into a family celebration and revelry🥳. Two of his uncles were roaming like two turtles after getting all drunk with the cushions tied to their backs by Lucky and Gang🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Chit-chatting aunts hardly bothered what their husbands or children were up to, they were discussing something about a nearby sale which had 50% offer on all items(Haila...yeh aunty log bhi). Bua was boasting to her friends how Geet kicked the main goon and escaped...all bluff bluff and bigger bluffs😲😆. Geet's mum was not leaving her side😭, she was yet to come out of the hangover of the incident😕. Geet was her first child and she was very worried for her, more so because she never enjoyed her life like other girls of her age, and inspite of that problems always haunted her😭. Ramesh Handa, her dad was even more tensed but he didn't show it, he never showed his affection like his wife.
...
The bell rang and there came rushing a barrage of girls and guys, all her friends, led by Geet's very own Best Friend Dia😳 whom Geet had nick named Miss U( Miss Universe😳...cuz she was all stylish and bubbly and the best friend ever😃). Dia was overwhelmed with emotion on seeing Geet, standing right in front of her, smiling. She rushed to her and hugged her, crying out like a baby😭.
"Oye Miss U...save these tears for your other endeavours...chal cha ab bas kar...I'm alright😳😳."
"Idiot😡...why did you leave the school yesterday night without telling me??"
"Dia Ssshhh...Why don't we go inside my room and talk? I don't want them to worry again."
She pulled Dia into her room and bolted the room from inside. Dia looked perplexed😕 and sat on the bed looking confusedly at Geet.
Back in the living room...
Lucky and his gang just needed an excuse to open the refrigerator and gulp down their favourite fruit soda. They were rolling on the carpet with their favourite fruit soda bottles in their hands and spilled all on the carpet. They were full and couldn't drink anymore or even move, so they laid flat on the carpet trying hard to breathe. Bua ji who had returned back to her usual demeanour was laughing (like Dolly Bindra🤣🤣🤣) and was smacking people around, her heart overflowing with happiness. Geet's family was celebrating. Strangely just a few moments ago they were sunk in depression and fear and the moment they saw her, they forgot everything and celebrated...they were one big happy family. Geet was relieved to see her family happy, but there was one particular thing in her mind troubling her thoughts and her heart ached at the thought and it was Maan😕, she just couldn't take him off her mind...after all that he did for her.
Dia realised something was not right with her best friend and she broke the silence, "Geet kya baat hai? You look worried? What happened last night?"
"Dia...last night...I saw Maan...and ...and..."
"Maan came to our reunion😲...When??😲 Geet tell me what happened? You are freaking the hell outta me.😕"
She told her everything that happened last night. Geet looked at Dia who looked like she was hypnotised, she was smiling😳 and there was an awed look in her dreamy eyes.
"D-I-A?😡"
"Oh I'm sorry...I was just imaging about you two together, all alone, in a jungle...how romantic...😳"
"What???😡 You think it was romantic...You are unbelievable...I was petrified and you think it was romantic...wah Miss U😡...Uss paagal ke saath... sirf nightmare ho sakta hai samjhi😡"
"How mean Geet? He helped you, he risked his life for you...😕"
She looked away, but felt guilty too😭... "Yeah, he risked his life...😭" then she stopped and jerked her thoughts away, "but that doesn't make him a hero...he is the same Maan Singh Khurana...Akdoo and insensitive...He was just feeling guilty for what he did to me and wanted to do some remorse.Yeah that's it...he'll never change"
"Geet...you are blind inside and outside...I know he did wrong to you, but are you going to punish him for that all your life."
"Dia stop it😡...main uske baare main kuch nahi sunna chahti😭...One year before too I committed this mistake of listening to you and your stupid love philosophy...please iss baar mujhe baksh do...I can't go through all that again. Main jaisi hoon waisi hi theekh hoon. I don't want complications in my life.😕"
"Okay😕...you are right...Theekh hai😊, I won't talk about him anymore."
"Thanks😕"
"So, can we now go out and have some fun...sab humara wait kar rahe honge...aaj sham let us all go out and celebrate.😃"
"More celebrations...Okay...Jo hukum Miss U😊"
They laughed and walked out to the living room😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆.
