iT was the day when the Khuranas were shifting to America.The atmosphere was dull and silent.Maan and Geet did not speak a word with each other and even avoided eye contacts.
Just outside the airport when their families were embracing each other,Maan came to Geet
"Dad says,i will become a great businessman"
"Lagta toh hai nahi but all the best!"winked Geet
"will we both marry when we are big?"
"You tell do you really want to marry me Maan?"
"Hmm...no i don't think so"
Geet gave a short laugh,"Same here but anyways uske liye buhot time hai"
THE sun was setting.They shaked hands formally & both parted ways.Their shadows met...
**********
Present--
Geet and Maan clearly remembered with what words they have parted.Previously,they both had thought that their parents were not serious enough but as the years went by they finally realized that that was not the case.Both of them did not have heart to refuse their parents and so had silently agreed.
Geet again walked upto the window.Maan was still standing there.Maan gazed at her.He noticed that the amount of shyness which she had displayed few hours away was replaced by an equal amount of smartness and confidence.The glint and sparkle in her eyes brought back the child Geet in his memory.She departed again after giving him a final glance.
Usually Maan hardly took a few seconds to judge a personality but this time he couldn't make out who was the real Geet.
The next morning Geet got up very late as usual.She got a good scolding from Rano,her mother saying that what the guests would say.
Still yawning,she emerged into the hall only to find others doing the usual morning time-pass.But Maan was nowhere in sight.She decided to pay him a visit in his room.
The door of his room was slightly ajar.She peeped in but he was not there.She even called out his name but got no answer in return.Her eyes fell on his laptop kept on the study table.It was on.She felt a strong urge to see what the contents of his laptop were.Though it was unethical to peep in other people's privacy,but she had a strong desire.She scanned the corridoor.The coast was clear.She tip-toed inside.
She eyed all the business files and presentations randomly.Just then an e-mail was received.She did not require any password as the mail was open.She decided to read his mail.To her horror,the contents of the mail was not that she had expected.It said 'i luv u vry much Maan' and all the possible lines which could be said by a girlfriend.At first she thought that he was cheating on her but later there were similar e-mails from various girls and he too replied back to them in a flirtous manner.Futher she even accessed even a folder which had pictures of girls wearing sexy dresses,possibly models.
"A complete womaniser" Geet was horrified.Suddenly she felt a cold hand on her shoulders.She turned around only to face Maan glaring at her.She was stuck.
"I-I must go." she said shivering as she prepared to leave
But Maan held her wrist and pinned her to the wall.He stood so close to her that there was no space even for air to sway.His eyes lighted with fire so much so that she couldn't move or exclaim anything.Then came his intoxicating voice
"What were you doing with my personal laptop?" he sounded fierce
"Nothing I-"she tried hard to make way for some words
"Don't you know it's bad manners to check other's mails?"
"As if you are the most pavitra soul.You are cheating on me and my family.i never thought that that you were a womaniser!!" Geet shouted back
Maan could see the same amount of fierce in her eyes.
"15 years is a very long time Geet,very long time..."Maan smirked
"not so long that you forget your morals.I know that i have no right to interfere in you privacy.Why the heck did you agree to marry me? " she screamed
Maan covered her lips with his hands.Geet was very angry.He tightened his grip around her waist and trailed his fingers from her forehead down her chin.
"Because i want you,as simple as that."he said calmly piercing his magical eyes into hers.For one moment Geet did not know where she was as though his eyes were commanding her.
She tried to loosen his grip,"Forget it! do you really think that now i will agree to marry you?you are mistaken big time!!"
"wo wo wo is this the same girl who was literally shy of me yestarday?aww...i miss her!" Maan teased her & loosened her
Geet was boiling by now,"Shut up!!i should have known,we can never become friends!we will always have an unequal equation.!" she pointed a finger at him.
She prepared to go but Maan stopped her,"Equation nahi hai toh bana denge.tum shaadi se mana kar hi nahi paogi Geet,you can never you will fall hard for me!" he said with an air of confidence
Geet turned around to look at him,"And what if you fall for me?"she said as if challenging him.
"Nah!you don't have the 'hot' quotient in you" he said airily
Geet left in a huff.Maan leaned against the wall with a queer smile.
