MILAN- The Final Destination
PART- 60
Maan. Geet gasped not believing her eyes. He was there right in front of her, she felt like crying. All those years she of being alone, there was not a single day when she didn't imagined him with her but as soon she blinked her eyes he disappeared n she realised that she was hallucinating, like a maniac. It was not like she didn't try, she did but it was so damn impossible to not think of him. She was abandoned but he never left her, he stayed around staking her n that was the reason she was now living on pills.
Her eyes were filled n she was smiling, not knowing if she should be happy or sad. Before she could allow a little delight in he jerked her away like burning coal, like she disgusted him.
Her voice brought him out of the trance; the girl surely knew how to bewitch someone. But he won't fall for her charm again; he was not that Maan whom she fooled earlier. Only he knew how he survived through the initial days. Every second was a curse n she was the sole reason for his destruction; she was the reason for him not being happy ever again, for him not being able to move on, for his family hating him, for him loathing the word love. N if he hated someone the most in the entire world, it was this girl in front of him whom he wished to never meet again.
So are the one... Maan spited out with so much rage it made Geet flinch back, she never saw him like this. The Maan she knew was always calm n composed but it seemed like things didn't always remains the same.
You fooled Dadimaa this time. Huh? What do want now? Money? He asked n she closed her eyes with his intense tone. Can't believe that a person could be so mean n shameless like you.
Please aap...
Just shut the f**k up. That 'aap' infuriated him more. He grabbed her elbow harshly pulling her off the bed. This time you won't succeed, I won't let you.
Maan please aap dhere boliye Dadimaa sun lengi. She pleaded glancing at the door least she wanted anyone specially Dadimaa to hear about their ugly truth.
You don't have to worry about her, just think about yourself because that's your forte.
Suddenly something clicked in her mind that girl was she his? The thought tormented her though she always knew that he must have married Shreya n would be having kids but seeing it for real was far more heart-rending than she had ever imagined.
Was she yours? She asked out of the blues, unsure of her words, unsure if even she made any sense. She just wanted to confirm the dreadful truth.
Maan knotted his brows then understood what she was asking about. Yes, my daughter. A tear drop slid down from the eyes she had thought was dried of moisture.
Though he believed she was faking it yet her tear satisfied him, like a bam it soothed his wounded heart but it couldn't make for the pain she made him go through.
He dragged her towards the balcony, pushing her out he slid shut the French glass door n drew the curtains then himself left the room.
Geet sat on the floor as more tears made their way out n she hated herself for crying. She had accustomed her eyes not to water, it was all dried but he still had that control over her, he made her cry n when he touched her she felt the current pass all over.
She hated herself, she hated him n everything else.
Geet's Soliloquy
Ever happened something to you at that time felt so right? So right that you wondered how beautiful life would have been if it had lasted. Something so wonderful it made you see world in a new light. That something happened to me... well someone happened to me. He came into my life n filled it with so many colours that I almost forgot who I was. I... I became his n thought he was mine as well.
But what happens when that someone steps out of the colourful life he created once for you? You think what the hell went wrong, or what if it had worked? But instead you are left there. Alone, in the big cruel world to fight for yourself miserable n weak n the abrupt realisation hits you what in the bloody world you are fighting for. Nothing is there to save. Everything's already finished n you leave everything the way it is going because there is no use to claw your nails n kick your legs because no damn thing is going to change.
N now what am I supposed to do when that someone came back into my life in a way that I know he is going to be there for a while n I am stuck. Wow! Again in a mess. I am so lucky. There was time when I waited for him every day, every night, every micro second I thought he would reappear somewhat magically like he did after I had left when we were kids but he didn't. With time I lost all hope, like I was in some dark tunnel... scary n never ending with no bright escape n it terrified me, how suddenly my perfect life changed, upside down just because of those four letter word, love n because of him. Perhaps that why it's called falling in love because it's a hell hole you fall into it unknown to veracity n then bam... you have fallen to never ever rise again.
Despite of everything I was there living my life no, not living but somehow baring it n he was here again. Shouting on me, cursing me, pushing me... n getting angry like never before. I never knew he could behave like that it was like he was some stranger may be that was right he actually was a stranger because I never knew him. Its better considering him stranger than paining n thinking, I knew him once. That explanation was good enough to calm me a bit but it didn't because he told me that girl was his daughter not told but literally spat on my face n it hurts, making me ache deep inside. He stabbed me n twisted the pointed sharp knife inside to draw it almost with same intensity he had put it in. Even with all the things he did to me n whatever bad happened to me was in some way his doing, he was saying those entire nasty, sore, things to me...l...like I was some criminal.
But it doesn't matter n I decided not to think about it n not to cry either. Weak people did that n I was too degraded to even be called weak, I was totally wasted.
End Soliloquy
She stood up wiping her tears, exhausted by the mental trauma. The balcony opened up to the great view of the vast swimming pool n she didn't wanted anyone to see her. She was too hesitant n preoccupied to let anyone know what was going on with her n make her already disastrous life worse but at the same time stepping back into his room was also not an option. She saw a wooden door on her right n call it her faint luck, it was unlocked. She stepped into the medium size room which looked like a study there was another door in front of the room she opened it n there was another room, same size as the study, it was dark but there was a small bed. She moved ahead n sat on floor n rested her head on the bed. Contradictory to her usual nights, in no time she was asleep due to fatigue without even her pills.
