CHAPTER 14
Geet was running around the house behind sid as usual to make him drink milk ...
" sid this is the last time i m warning u if u don't come here to drink milk no more pogo " geet tried to threaten him
" mom plzzz i hate milk ... " sid said running around the sofa
" sid don't run ..." geet's talk and chase was stopped as her phone rang ... she immediately went to attend it
" he...ll...oo " she said between heaving and puffing
" were u running in the marathon " came maan's voice from the other end with slight touch of satire
" oh! don't ask me sid is taking hell out of me for drinking milk ... " said geet
" why do u force him if he didn't like " said maan
" maan milk has iron , calcium and protiens " said geet
" i never knew u r a nutitionist " said maan
" ha ha very funny its general knowldge " said geet ...
" anyways i called u to ask if u both could join me to my small beach house picnic this weekend " asked maan
There was unusual silence from geet ... She has never refused whenever he has asked her out but this time she didn't want to go ... she was scared to face him alone fearing if she could be normal with him ... she can't be pretending to be casual the whole day ... She can't manage her heart which beats fast seeing him …………………………… all possible ways for refusing him was going in her mind but still a small voice in her wanted to go with him ……………………..
" geet I m asking u something " said maan
" woh maan I …………. I m not sure ………………. I have to complete my work ………………." She managed
" its weekend sweety " he said ……………………..
Geet's heart skipped a beat hearing him call her sweety its not the first time he was calling her that but it strangely had new impact on her ……………………..
" but maan I have to work on the project " he said
" as far as I remember u are working on my project and u are supposed to present it after a week ……………………. " he said
" maan I …………."
" ohk I take it as a no " he said
She defo didn't like that disappointment in his tone ……………………… so she agreed without giving it a second thought ………….
It was Sunday and they were riding to maan's beach house situated 30km away from main city …………………….
" where are we going ? " asked sid who was sitting on maan's lap while maan was driving ……………………………
Like anyother Kid sid had a thing for car and always wanted to hold the steering but geet never allowed him to even touch that fearing his safety moreover she herself was afraid …………………………. But now how maan can deny sid something ……………………… when sid said maan that he wanted to drive the car maan readily made sid sit on his lap and made him hold the steering while his hands were protectively on sid's ……………………….. Geet was sitting beside them giving maan deadly glare………………….
" we r going to beach house " said maan
" what is that ? " asked sid
" we will get to see water very close to us near our house " said maan
" wow ………… it will be fun na mom " said sid looking at geet
" yeah seeing the way maan driving having you in his lap I doubt if we could reach there safely " said geet
" don't worry I ll let nothing to harm u both " said maan looking straight at the road but geet could easily understand the depth his voice held while saying that ………………………… she was immersed in her thought again throught the journey ……………………….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They reached maan's beach house as sid was eager to play in the water he and maan immediately charged into water while geet was sitting at far end seeing them play ……………………………. Maan always took care of sid but at the same time he makes sure that sid gets all that he wants …………………………….. though geet provides her son with everything that is possible there are few empty place in sid's life which she could never fill alone but she is not worried about it ………………………. She doesn't want anyone to fill the void which she believed could be minimized as time goes ……………………. She can understand maan likes sid and takes care of him but its only because sid is her son , his best friend's son ……….. there is nothing more than that …………………… even Armaan shows similar affection towards sid ……………………… Geet and maan were never together and will never be in future as well ……………………… once when he goes back to delhi their friendship will be reduced to just phone calls and E-mails ………………….. The reality of her life is what she is living now ………………………….. She doesn't know how things would have been if Karan was alive she doesn't even know how her life turned to the path in which she is standing ………………………. Karan and she , always a mystery to her which she long back gave up solving …………….. all she now cherish is her memories with Karan when they were young and few things said by armaan and ridhima she never tried to read the chapters of untold stories which she doesn't know if even exists …………………………….. she is happy with her life the last thing she wants is some problem in her regular ordinary life due to someone ………………………….. If things take different turn she can neither hurt maan nor herself ……………………..
It was late evening while maan and sid were still playing video games ……………………… sid was in no mood to leave so maan insisted that they stay there that night as next day was Sunday and they anyway are free ……………………. So geet decided to move out of maan and sid's game area as they were giving her head ache by their constant shouting ………………………… geet walked to the beach which was very quiet ……………………….. No sound except roaring sea waves …………………………she sat there watching the moon ………………………. The waves were playing with her feet and she just closed her eyes enjoying it ……………………….
" you might catch cold " geet's silent atmosphere was broken by maan
" u here ? sid ? " asked geet
" he slept and I have left the lights on so he ll not be scared so don't panic " he said
" I love this place " she said
" I know that's why I wanted u to come here " he said sitting near her tugging his legs in sand as her
" I always wonder how sky and sea meet each other at farthest distance they seem to be together but the truth is different " said geet
" it depends on how we sea if u want u can capture this moment in u eyes and never imagine them being apart " said maan
" but none can change reality " said geet
" reality is what and how we make things around us to happen … " maan took handful of sand " look at my hand its full of sand " ………. He pressed his hand hardly and squeezed the mud it fell out of his hold he showed his hand to her………… " now I have nothing left ………………. This is life geetu how much u stress and ponder on things it will become more difficult and go out of ur control …………….. its very simple just do the first thing that comes to ur mind ……………… more thinking causes u to take bad decisions which may suit ur life but not u ……………… we can't live for our mind we should live for our heart " he said
" u sound different from the maan singh khuranna I know " she said looking at him with new respect and admiration without blinking
" I m not maan singh khuranna just maan ………………… just maan who is struggling each and every secomd to live his life…………..to live a blissful life …………………… I long back understood that love is needed to live more than money and fame but I never got that love …………………." Said maan
" don't tell me that u have a beautiful family " said geet
Maan smiled looking at her " not everyone who have family get all love and happiness " he said looking into her eyes ………………….. she can very well understand that those eyes were dyeing to speak to her but her heart failed to understand that language ...
Geet turned away from him looking the other way ………………………. Silence prevailed for a couple of minutes ……………………
Geet's eyes twinkled seeing something she immediately poked maan's shoulder to look at that direction ………………………….. he chuckled seeing that
" what u want me to wish for something seeing the falling star ? " he asked teasingly
" but I believe in that " geet said before closing her eyes and place a wish seeing the falling wish star ………………………
" what did u wish for ? " asked maan
" I won't tell u then it might not come true if I disclose it " she said
" yeah " he rolled his eyes
" why didn't u wish ? " she asked
" I needn't wish for anything when all I want is just before my eyes " he said looking deep into her eyes ………………………
This time it was not easy for geet to swim out of the deep ocean of his heart …………………….. she was captured by his eyes …………………. His eyes were making their way into her closed heart ……………………. Now Just his simple gesture was enough for her heart to explode …………………….. She was so much lost in him that she never realized that his hands have cupped her face and his thumb was playing with her hair that was falling blocking his vision ……………………….. He slowly moved closer not breaking their eye lock until his breath mingled with hers …………………. Their noses toughed while lips were still a millimeter away …………………… He wanted just a single sign from her befor he could proceed ……………………. All his questions were answered when she closed her eyes surrendering …………………….. he smoothly took her lips in his not trying to hurt the delicate petal nor to scare his angel …………………… he took the kiss slowly until she started to respond …………………… once when she moved her fingers in his hair and pulled him towards her he got all the courage to proceed with his desire ………………………… he deepened the kiss ……………… his hands went around her bringing her close to him such that not even allowing air to pass between their bodies to separate them ………………………….he caressed her back slowly his hands went inside her T-shirt trying to feel her soft skin …………………….. he pressed hardly on her bare waist and that brought back geet to reality ………………………. Her eyes opened suddenly …………………… she realized their vulnerable position where she was almost half sitting on his lap with her
hands around his neck and his hands were in place she never even wanted to imagine………………………. She pushed him away with a jerk ………………… she moved back ………………….. maan didn't understand what just happened it was as if someone snatched his possession from him …………………….. he looked at geet blankly who closed her mouth with her plam and tears had already made their way out of her eyes ……………………….
" geetu u r alright ? " maan touched her shoulder
She immediately snapped away his hand and looked at him before he could read what her eyes wanted to say her palm charged against his cheek with sudden slap …………………………. Maan moved back due to this sudden unexpected act ……………………….. when he managed to gain focus geet was already running towards the house …………………………………..
