"maan utt yaar…kitne sote ho tu" yash pushed him off the bed.
"yaar yash u know na I just slept an hour back" maan got up from the floor rubbing his back.
"teekai tu aisa hi soja and u'll miss her bus" yash said.
"oh no…noway…..i'll be ready in 5 mins" maan ran towards the washroom and shouted back "waise kitna time baki hai?"
"15 mins hai….dont worry u can even have ur breakfast" yash replied.
Maan closed the washroom door and yash said "why don't u go and ask her out?"
"ask her out? r u mad? Did u forget the slap she gave to that boy in the tennis court when he said he loves her" maan replied back from wash room.
"yaar I m not saying to directly propose her, I am just saying to ask her hand for friendship."yash said.
There was no answer for few minutes and then Maan came out wearing a towel and moved to his cupboard and removed a jeans and formal shirt.
"no way yash…I don't want her to slap me. I cant bear that" maan said "turn yash"
Yash turned away from him and maan started changing.
"coward" yash said.
"I m not" maan shouted "u can turn"
As yash turned he saw maan going towards the window "not again maan" he walked to him.
Maan is looking through the window…..there she is….in her balcony watering her plants.
"how many days will u keep watching her like this secretly maan…..from the day we entered this flat the same is happening. She is our neighbor but she don't even know u exist….go maan give a try atleast" yash said.
"u r right yash…I think I should give a try" maan said.
"finally" yash sighed.
"hmm but I m sure I m gonna get a slap" maan said.
"don't go directly to her and ask….do something different" yash suggested.
"I think I know what to do" maan said.
"ok I m going to office…you I'll come na" yash asked.
"ya…as usual in the bus watching her" maan smiled.
"until her stop comes" yash said.
"ya…her college stop"maan said.
"she is in her last year na….waise what is she doing?" yash asked.
"Idk yaar" maan said.
"ok buddy see u in the office" yash said and left.
Yash and maan work in the same office. Yash is a journalist while maan is a photographer. They both worked for a local news paper. One year back they came to Mumbai and took this flat. That is the day he saw her for the first time….same like today watering her plants. He fell for her the first day…but never told her. He kept following her almost everywhere and every day. He loves watching her.
As yash left maan locked the door and turned to see her walking towards the lift. He followed her and both entered the lift. Geet is on phone in her own world. The lift stopped in the below floors and people entered. Maan stood at one end of the lift and stared at geet who is at the other end.
Both got out of lift and walked towards the bus stop. Geet walking in front while maan walking behind. As geet hopped on the bus maan stood behind in the bus stop. He took out his cam and clicked her pic. The bus left after few minutes but maan stood there still looking at the bus.
Maan reached office a few minutes late and saw yash speaking to their editor. He went to his table and sat there looking at the pic of geet in his cam.
"maan u r late today" yash said as he came towards his table and kept the files on the table with a sigh.
"ya missed the bus buddy" maan said.
"don't tell me u missed geet's bus?" yash asked surprised.
"ya…to not to miss her in real" maan said.
"I dint get u yaar" yash said
Maan switched on his lappy without answering to him.
"whats going on?" yash asked.
"watch" maan said as he removed the memory card from the cam and placed in his lappy. He opened geet's pic.
"when did u take her pic?" yash asked surprised.
"just few minutes back" maan smiled.
"what are u going to do with this?" yash asked.
"first tell me how it is?" maan asked.
"awesome….she is looking more beautiful than ever" yash said.
"bhabi hai teri" maan said.
"omg u jealous" yash smiled.
Just then yash got a call and he left from there. maan copied the pic in a pendrive and took it to the printer. He got the pic printed and stood there watching the pic.
Yash came back and said "maan I need to go to andheri to do some research on my next article. I m leaving .bye. I think I cant make to office I will directly see u at the evening in our flat"
"ok yash…c ya" maan replied and yash left.
