MG FF - FAIRY...TAIL??!! THREAD 10 - Page 24

He lay on the bed staring at the tape. A tune played at the back of his mind. He couldn't understand…it was so unclear! All he could understand was some music playing in his head. There was something in it. He thought of playing it but then he heard his cell phone ring. It was geet. She was more important right now. He kept the tape in his bag and took her call. He was greeted by her chirpy voice.

Geet: hi Maan…what are you doing? All set for tomorrow?

He was not expecting this. Knowing her, she'd have probably pushed herself to the extremes again!

Maan: missing you sweetheart!

She talked about everything except his leaving. Maan didn't reply. He just listened to her, not liking this behavior of hers. This was not what he wanted or expected. And it was so strange of her to behave like this. This was not the geet he knew. She was trying to be someone she wasn't! After a long time when he didn't reply, she felt it odd.

Geet: Maan you there?

Silence prevailed for a few seconds.

Maan: why are you doing this geet? Kyun kar rahi ho aisa?

Geet kinda understood what he was trying to hint at but chose to ignore.

Geet: mein kya kar rahi hoon?

Maan: don't try to be someone that you are not!

Geet: I can't understand what are you trying to say!

Maan: be yourself damn it! For god's sake geet…shout at me…scream at me for leaving like this where I actually don't know when am coming back…hit me..daanto mujhe…but don't behave like this! Don't put up that fake mask geet…zyada takleef hoti hai…don't hide yourself!

She went silent. She closed her eyes trying to control those unshed tears!

Maan: I feel torn…

Geet smiled through her tears: you don't have to Maan..

Maan: but you…

Geet (cutting in): I cannot and will never tie you down to me Maan…you are a free bird.

She tried to be chirpy: ab zyada na sochein and prepare for tomorrow!

Maan: mein kya karoon tumhara geet?

Geet (cutely): mujhe kya pata…wo to aap pe depend karta hai na,…

She giggled at her own silly joke.

Maan: I love you geet..

Geet: love you too…ok am keeping…need to finish this assignment..goodnight!

She disconnected the call and threw the phone aside. A tear rolled out of her eyes. She had no assignments. She just couldn't have talked to him anymore.

She buried her face in the pillow and cried her heart out. Pillows absorbed her tears and cries!

"I will never tie you down to me.." lingered in her mind! She could never come between him and his dreams! She wanted to be beside him when he chased them!

She never knew when she slept off sobbing and murmuring to herself, "I still need you to be there for me.."

NEXT MORNING

Flight was at 4pm. They needed to be at the airport at around 2 as per rules. Maan and dadi were busy with the last minute preparations..checking passports and visa etc. it was strange…geet never called him up. He so wanted to meet her…talk to her..hear her voice! He wanted to check on her before leaving…he even called her up a number of times but she never responded. He was also held up with other things. But he was worrying inside.

He expected her to be at the airport. He wanted to see his shona for one last time…because he never knew when he was coming back!

He was also leaving behind a lot of precious memories…his childhood, his school, college, university, basketball sessions and his friends. That was painful. He was somewhere feeling guilty for leaving geet alone. On his way Dan called him up. They were waiting for them at the airport!

Heathrow Airport, 2:05pm

Maan and dadi were greeted by Dan, Rahul and jess. All were emotional. The guys were together since high school. And god knows with their jobs and new life ahead when they will get another chance to meet!

But his eyes were searching for someone else. Kya wo itni naraaz hai? Did she do something stupid again? His heartbeat slowed down to almost nil.

Maan: did you guys see geet? She is not taking my call!

jess: umm we went to her place to get her but she said she will come later.

He sighed in relief…atleast she was okay! He waited and waited and waited but she didn't show up! Announcement was made to board the flight. The four had a group hug. But he was more worried about her. she never took his call. He guessed she probably didn't want to face this!

He walked with dadi with a heavy heart looking here and there…with a tiny hope that she might show up. They were about to reach the security when he noticed something. He gave his tickets to Dadima.

Maan: Dadima…go ahead I'll be back in sometime.

Dadima: but Maan..

Before she could have completed her sentence he was gone.

She had come to meet him in the airport but didn't have it in her to face him. More than him, she would break down and she knew it perfectly well. She hid herself at some distance away from him and kept looking at him without blinking her eyes…trying to capture his every movement with her eyes. As he moved towards the security, she moved along, though hiding. His restless eyes were searching for her madly in that crowd . in an attempt to see him through the security, she collided with a person and his suitcase fell making a loud noise.

She hurriedly muttered a sorry and walked out fast. The last she wanted was to get caught. He had sharp senses. She hurried through the crowd, lest she should be caught.

She had hardly walked a meter away when someone pulled her to a corner and slammed her against the wall. She looked up to see his fuming face and the next she knew was his lips glued to hers. She wanted to get away…no she didn't want to see him! She hit his chest weakly…a part of her trying to move away and the other trying to give in. she didn't cry. She hit him again and again but they were so weak! She couldn't hold back her tears…as they rolled down. He didn't care. Rather, he pushed himself against her hard, not letting her move and pressed his lips harder trying to gain an entry to her mouth. She didn't give in..he parted a little, panting.

Maan (angry): tum mujhse bina mile ja rahi thi?

He was angry…sad…probably broken too1 she didn't want to meet him! It angered him more. She squeezed her cheeks with his fingers and kissed her hard again. She couldn't fight. She so much wanted to be with him. She opened her mouth to take in those sinfully deceiving lips crying out into his mouth.

She felt so weak in front of him today that she fell. He held her waist and hauled her against his body, taking in her sadness into him, biting and sucking.

Her moans mingled with her cries and she clung on to him, holding his shirt like a weak leaf on a branch, about to be blown away by the wind.

The final announcement was made but he cared a damn. He went on and on and on till her entire body trembled against him.

She pulled back after a few seconds, wiped her tears and looked away!

Geet: Maan you should go now…

Maan: why were you going away without meeting me?

That was something she didn't want to discuss now.

Geet: Maan…you ought to be on board, not here. Dadima will be worried…

Maan: you didn't answer me geet

She sighed, "there are somethings better left unanswered! Please Maan…its already time for the take off!"

Maan (coldly): alright then…if that's what you want…am leaving!!!

Millions of needles stung her heart hearing him say that he was leaving! He turned and walked up a few steps. She held herself not able to see his retreating figure.

He waited for her to call him back…for once..but when she didn't he turned back to look at her one last time. She wasn't looking at him.

Maan: geet…

And that broke her resolution. She turned to him and ran straight into his arms, hugging him tight. Her tears wet his chest.

Maan: I love you more than my life…

Geet (crying): I love you…don't know how much!

He smiled through his tears1

Maan: will you promise me something sweetheart?

Geet: yes..

She didn't even need to know what he wanted. A word from his mouth and it will be dione…no matter the cost!

Maan: am leaving…but apni jaan tumhare paas chodke jaa raha hoon! So please uska khayal rkahna…promise me…tum koi bhi stupidity nahi karogi…no paagalpan when am not around! Promise?

She nodded her head.

Geet: i..i promise..

It was hard to let him go. But she had to. She plastered a smile on her face as he went on board. She stood there watching his flight vanish in the air, a part of her went away with him.

She slowly drove back to her flat!

Ek ajeeb sa soonapan chane laga tha…

Maano sab kuch hote hue bhi kuch na tha..

Ab to hare k lamha hare k pal ungliyon pe gin ne lage the….

Bas milne ki woe k hi ass thi shayad...

Jisse dono ki sansein judne lagi thi!

Her house looked lifeless…haunted!!! And the biggest thing that ate her within was how she was going to live though her days!
