PART 5
It was again dinner time at KM and Maan excused himself, trying to hide that smile. Now, geet madam had become highly suspicious! Hmm..daal mein kuch kala tho zarur hain! She had been noticing this of quite a long time. He'd just leave everything right there with a smile whenever he got that call! Pakka he is hiding something…she needed to find out now!
She followed Maan to his room and found him in the balcony, busy with his call. She went in and slumped on his bed and waited for him to finish with the call….alas..finish with the call? God knows when she had dozed off there itself! Maan came in and saw her sleeping in the middle his bed, sprawling her hands and legs. He tried to wake her up but when she didn't, he just pushed her aside and slept off beside her. geet had the habit of rolling over. Later at night, she rolled and dashed with Maan. She twitched her brows a bit and kicked him hard.
He woke up with a jerk, "ouccchhh…"
He switched on the bed lamp and checked on her. she was sleeping peacefully. He sighed and pulled the spread on her, placed a pillow between them, lest she kicked again and slept off.
This was not a new thing to them. It was always their friendship and the frankness they shared with each other and Dadima definitely didn't mind that.
It was Sunday morning. Maan woke up early and found her legs on his and her hands spread over his chest. He slowly took her off him and went to his gym. He came back an hour later and she was still sleeping on his bed like a queen. He showered and came back., she was still sleeping. He checked the time 8:45 am!
He shouted, "geet…uth jaa…
She turned away. He went closer and shook her, "geet…kitna soti hain..wake up!"
She turned away again murmuring, "sone de yaar….8 is too early!"
"geet its 9..and its late!"
"shut up and let me sleep.." she changed her side, putting the spread covering her face.
He pulled away the spread, "you have become so lazy…hostel mein kaise uthti hogi subah subah? i still wonder on that!"
"Maan…tu pitega!" she hid her face in the pillow trying to sleep.
"I don't care!"
"Go to hell"
"With you, of course!"
He pulled her up to a sitting position. She made all kids of faces, disapproving.
"theek hain..uthti hun..but one confdition!"
"sure…go on!!" he replied absentmindedly still trying to pull her out of the bed.
She smiled naughtily, "who is anisha?"
He hadn't expected that! he gulped hard and his grip loosened! How the hell did she know that??? he hadn't been telling her anything because once this big mouth knows anything….it would be impossible to shut her up. He tried to divert her mind, "yeah..whos anisha??"
"don't act smart okay..chup chap bata kaun hain! Kal raat I waited for you so much and you idiot didn't even look at me? I was sooo suspicioius so I checked your call log when you were gone for a shower!"
She had a big smile on her face…aaha! A victorious one! But it was a BINGO! For Maan. This big mouth actually blurted out everything that he wanted to know! Grr…this girl is too chalu…checking his phone in his absence…!!!!
"chal bata…who is anisha!"
"b…w..wo..she is my friend!"
She raised her brows, 'are you sure? I mean..tu mujhse kuch chupa to nahi raha?"
"na..na..not at all.. she is my batch mate yaar!"
"I don't trust you"
"dimag mat kharab kar samjhi!"
"but I still don't trust you!"
"then that's not my prob;em…chal fresh ho ja.. and come downstairs for breakfast!"
"acha..shaam ko free hai kya? I want to go out…."
Before even she could complete her sentence, she heard a straight "NO!"
"chal na.."
"no geet…am busy!"
"itna kya busy busy? Chup chap chal samjha!"
"NO!"
"then how will I go alone?"
"roops aur prem ko saath leja…I can't go! Waise bhi tu dus logon se kum hai kya?"
"shut up! You are going!"
"NO WAYS! Am meeting up with my friends!"
"aaann…" she faked a cry!
"NO NO and NO! am not going with you anywhere! Tu waise bhi mere saare paise uda degi! Am not going baba!"
She twisted her lips, "huh..kanjoos!" and walked away with a huff. She sighed in relief!
Geet called up roops and both decided to go together. Prem was supposed to go out on a date with his 12th gf. The girls enjoyed their hangout in karol bagh and later moved to one of the biggest malls in Delhi. They stood near a posh coffee shop deciding where to go next! Oho!!!! Something just caught geet's attention. Her expressions turend into a shocked one 1st..then to a frown and then to an evil smirk!
Geet (st): acha bachu…mujhse jhooth bolke you are coochi-cooing with a ladki..teri khair nahi Maan…mujhse jhooth bola tha naa….
Roops hadn't noticed geet looking at Maan with some girl inside the coffee shop though the glass wall. She tapped her shoulder.
Roops: oye geet..where are you lost? Lets go to the 3rd floor, mujhe wahan se kuch cheezein leni hain..
Geet thought for a while, "naa… roops tu jaa…do your shopping and meet me here in an hour..i have some other things to take care of!"
Roops: okay…jaisi teri marzi..bye!
Meanwhile in the coffee shop,
Anisha: Maan..aapne geet ko shopping le jaane se mana kyun kiya?
Maan: don't ask baba! That girl is one gundi..ek tho wo mujhe yahan aane nahi deti..upar se meri saari pocket money bhi uda deti..wo bhi ek hi baar mein!
Anisha laughed. Maan just could't take his eyes off her. she was simple..nothing was artificial about her…she was down to earth and the best part was—she never showed off that she was a princess! She just wanted to be like everyone around! And this is what Maan loved the most about her.
Anisha: phir bhi Maan,,, geet ko bura lagega! Aapko unhe aise jhooth nahi bolna chahiye tha….hum baad mein bhi mil sakte the…
Maan: tell me one thing anisha..tumhe apne se zyada dusron ki itni fikar kyun hoti hai?
Anisha realized Maan was irritated. She tried to calm him.
Anisha: aisa nahi hain Maan..hum tho bas yahi keh rahe the ki geet kitne dino baad waapis aayi hain….you should spend some time with her..
Maan: yeah right Anisha.. spending time with her…we are always together..since childhood and I know geet very well. She wouldn't mind!
Anisha smiled, "pata hain hume… aap dono bachpan se saath mein hain..aur geet aapki sabse achi dost hain!"
Maan smiled back at her, "yeah..she is the bestest friend you could ever get…thodi pagal hain..aur poori nautanki ki dukaan..but hain tho meri gundi hi! No one can take her place in my life!"
Anisha: we understand… geet aapke liye bahut special hain!
Maan smiled naughtily, "are you sure? Waise meri life mein koi aur bhi hain jo geet jitna hi special hain.."
A layer of redness settled over Anisha's face. Before even she could react, they heard someone shout, "haan saale…mujhe jhooth bolke tu yahi sab kar!"
Maan froze hearing that voice! Shit man! What is this girl doing here out of all the places in this world? Geet marched towards him and pulled the nearby chair and sat beside Maan. And the next moment they heard someone fall down with a thud! And the entire shop echoed with laughter. The guy stood up slowly holding his back, muttering curses at geet. Poor fellow was about to sit when geet had pulled away his chair unknowingly.
Geet could care less! She was more interested in Maan. She hadn't noticed Anisha yet. Maan was too shocked. He looked at Anisha in front of him…she had a very happy look on her face and then geet madam..who had a frown on her forehead!
Maan: g..geet..what are you doing here?
Geet banged her hands on the table and retorted, " exactly! What are YOU doing here? When I asked you to take me out…kya kaha tha tune..you are meeting your friends and here you are..arrghh…I hate you! Tune jhooth bola na mujhse…"
She smacked his shoulder hard!
"ouuchh…yaar dheere maar and tu galat soch rahi hai..meine isiliye jhooth.."
She smacked his shoulder again not letting him complete his words.
"ouchhh maar mat gundi.."
"tu yahan kar kya raha hai…doing chiggy wiggy with some girl..and.."
She turned to look at the girl and give her a peace of her mind…..OH MY! She stopped right there! It was the same girl..she admires every single day in her college. OMG…she looked sooo pretty in her baby pink salwar-kameez..wow! a smile just formed on her lips!
Anisha was super glad to see geet. She immediately stood up and extended her hand, "hiee..hum Anisha hain…Maan ki friend!"
Her smile was sooo beautiful…like an angel! Geet slowly extended her hands to meet with hers. She opened her mouth to say something, Anisha cut her off!
"hume aapke bare mein sab pata ahin. Aap geet hain..maan ki sabse achi dost! Finally we met you! We have heard so much about you from Maan..ahh..we are sooo happy that we finally got to meet you!"
Geet had an instant liking towards Anisha.. she was the princess yet she had o arrogance…no show off. Geet smiled back, "aap iss idiot ke class ki hain na?"
Anisha found geet really really cute. She nodded smiling. Maan felt so out of place. He knew geet wasn't saying anything here because of Anisha but at home… he wondered what will she do it him!
Just then geet's cell beeped. It was roops calling her. she noticed roops sounded a bit angry.
Geet: acha tu wahin ruk…am coming out!
She turend to Anisha, " okay di… I need to rush..will catch up later..byeee.."
Anisha; bye and dhyaan se jaiyega!
Geet gave an evil smirk to Maan and put her hand in his pant's pocket. He jumped in utter shock!
Geet: over react mat kar…am taking your card. Mere paise khatam ho gaye!!
He rolled his eyes! She always does that! today also his money gone!!!!
Maan (st): beta tu tho gaya!
Geet met up with roops and found her oddly quiet. She hadn't even shopped. She looked upset about something. She tried to ask but roops ignored. Geet reached her hone at around 8 and found prem sitting in the hall with a long face! She dumped all her bags on the carpet and slumped beside him.
Geet: kya hain? Itna sad kyun hain? Even roops was upset about something..
She noticed red finger print on his cheeks.
Geet (concerned): oyee…kisi ne tujhe thappad maara?
Prem nodded sadly.
Geet: ladki ne?
Prem shook her head in denial.
Geet: then who?
Prem: roops ne!!!!
