PART 40
The guys caught up and saw geet. She turned towards another lane and ran. Anisha had hurt her ankle and was bleeding badly. She had never seen anything of this kind ever in her life. With trembling hands she called up maan and narrated the entire story and that she was hiding somewhere. At first maan was furious but he had to act fast. Luckily, he was with his friends nearby and made it quick to the place where anisha had told. In no time he found her, trembling and sweating. He held her stand up when he saw her ankle bleeding. He didn't even speak a word. Anisha knew he was angry and didn't even try to speak to him. He carried her towards his car and made her sit in the passenger seat. He turned around to look for geet and his anger reached a new level seeing no geet around. He had strictly asked geet not to do anything like this.. and even if she did, where the hell was she?
He looked around and got into the drivers seat… waiting for geet, thinking she might be around. Anisha sat mum… shivering. She had never seen maan this angry ever..moreover she herself was in shock with whatever was happening. It was 5 damn minutes and geet wasn't back. Maan couldn't hold back and banged his hand on the steering. Anisha jumped with the sudden movement and was shocked to see maan's expressions..his eyes were red..spitting fire and he shouted, "WHERE IS GEET?"
She trembled with the intensity of his voice. He had never ever been this angry..especially in front of her! She was so scared..he couldn't even voice out anything. Maan was getting frustrated by the minute and when she didn't answer, he just held her arms and shook her violently, "where the hell is geet?"
This was a shock for anisha… her eyes widened and pupil dilated! She managed to point towards the direction geet had run. And the next moment she heard the door of maan's side bang shut and he was gone! She sat still for a moment not able to digest what she saw..and why there was so much anger! She held on to herself and came out of the car, limping.
Geet was caught by them but she managed to escape and run. She was smart…. But she was scared too. She somehow lured them to some other lane and ran back for anisha. She wanted to get anisha out of the place before they caught up again. She was limping due all her tiredness. She was just a meter away from the place where she had asked anisha to hide when she collided with something hard. She immediately looked up…only to meet the raging eyes of maan! She herself couldn't fathom how much safe she felt at that moment… like her life just returned back to her.
Maan looked at geet from top to bottom… her shirt was torn around her right shoulder, the corner of her lips was bleeing.. and she had a lot of scratch marks on her now exposed skin. His anger reached a new height… he had warned them didn't he… and he was also angry to see geet in that condition….his frustration….. everything just made him mad..not able to help the girls when they needed him…. And those guys who dared to mess with his dear ones just came out as an outburt. He pushed her away a bit and roared, 'what the hell do you think yourself han? Jab jo marzi aaye wo kardiya..kabhi kisi aur ke baare mein sochti ho bhi ya nahi????"
[what the hell do you think yourself han? Whatever comes to your mind..you do it… do you ever think of others?]
Geet was shocked to see maan this angry…she thought probably he didn't know that anisha was just fine. That is why he was getting worried..but she felt something crack within her again when he burst out, "do you even are about anisha? Meine kaha tha na don't take her with you…you don't care abouot me or yourself… that's fine by me..then why her? You kmnow how important she is to me….."
Geet was stunned! "You know how important she is to me…" rang in her head… was she not important? For the first time in her entire life she felt herself so timid… that crack hurt a lot… a layer of tear settled on her eyes…. Was she of no importance to him…. How easily he said that….it hurt.. and she didn't even realise that it was her heart that was cracking and it was the pain the cracks caused…..
Maan was angry..yes he was because he had seen anisha in such a state..and he had seen geet in such a state… and he couldn't do aything and he didn't even realise what all he had gone and done… what damage he had done.. anisha stood behind maan… hearing all that.. somewhere feeling glad that he cared for her. But she hated the fact that he shouted on geet. For god's sake it was geet who had saved her… ! maan tunred back to see anisha standing…looking at him..scared and trembling. He shook his head and went closer to her. Anisha moved back a little… angry on him for behaving rudely with geet!
"why did you come out of the car? Come..let me help you.." he tried to be as polite as he could..he tried to control his anger. Geet stood numb…. She was blank.. she was hurt…. And she felt her life go away as he moved away! Why did she feel left out…ohh sorry..she had been feeling being left for god knows how long..but she never bothered! Then why today? Did she expect something in return from him? Maan was about to hold anisha's hand when he heard something drop. He immediately pulled his hand away and tuned back to see geet lying on the road, unconcious. He got so scared…. He ran back to her shouting, "geet…geet…. You okay?" and placed her head on his lap. He tried to wake her up a few more times and when she didn't, he panicked more.
Anisha tried to walk but it hurt. Even she was worried about geet. But then she saw maan carrying her to the car. His expressions had turned to fear… there was no more anger…no frustration but a sudden panic. He pushed geet indide the car and sat in the drivers seat. He loked around and realised anisha was still out. He just called her out, "anisha…come fast..we need to get to the doctor…" anisha slowly limped towards the car and sat in. maan drove fast.. his fear returned…. He shouldn't have shouted at geet like that…!! He recalled his parents..and he couldn't remember their faces… he was scared to lose anyone after his parents but now geet's condition just scared him to hell. Geet had always been a strong girl… and he had never seen her so lifeless before. He couldn't think straight and parked in front of the hospital, not knowing anything else to do.
He carried geet and rushed in..he didn't hear hear anisha calling him to help her get out of the car or even wait for her. She somewhere felt bad..but then she brushed it aside… it was natural on his part to worry about geet! Even she was! Maan rushed in calling out to the doctors and laid her on the bed. The doctor asked him to wait outside till she checks her up. Meanwhile he called jasmeet and informed about geet being in hospital. He was so scared..he didn't even budge from his place…anisha called him..to at least sit and relax for a while but he never heard her.
She slowly walked to the nurse and asked for dressing her wound. It was a deep cut….not too deep but painful. She looked towards maan.. and he was still out there..looking for geet! She sat quietly as the nurse dressed her wound..and she didn't even feel the pain unlike other days! She was lost in her thoughts… and it was then that she realised..it was for the 1st time ever she held no importance in front of geet! She tried to divert her mind… it was silly to think… geet was equally important to her also… but somewhere.. today she was in double minds. Why did it happen? She knew how close geet and maan were..then hy suddenly she felt alienated? Like she was no one in between them!!! Was she thinking too much?
Jasmeet arrived and tried to calm maan. The doctor came out and maan rushed to her. Anisha was just a mute spectator of all this. She had nothing to do!!!
Doctor: just relax maan.. she is fine. Just minor scratches…. But she is still unconcious. How did all this happen?
Maan narrated the entire incident and jasmeet was super duper shocked. She saw anisha and went to check on her. Meanwhile, maan asked, 'how much time will it take for her to wake up doc?"
Doctor: umm she will be up any moment..but it seems she is very scared of something..that is why I asked you how did all happen. She had supposedly taken it to heart… and very scared… that is why she fainted..or else theres nothing serious to it.
As the doctor walked away, maan did take time to realise what happened. Geet was scared… and still she managed to save anisha and also herself… but what did he do? Pour out all his anger on her? He felt bad..real bad and the 1st thing he'd do once she wakes up was to apologise to her.
And it was not long when geet gained consciousness and the next moment she felt someone very warm surround her… squeeze her tight! It took her sometime to realise that she was in a hospital and that maan was hugging her tightly!!!
"am sooo sorry geet…. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that…but mein kya karta… mein kitna ghabra gaya tha pata hain..am sooo sorry…."
[am soo sorry geet… I shouldn't have shouted at you like that… but what could I have done? I was so scared you know that… am sooo sorry…]
Geet smiled weakly.. maan was very emotional.. and it was just her to whom he pours his heart out…she was still not over with whatever happened earlier..but seeing him like that…her heart just gave up! She hugged him back feeling at ease! Jasmeet smiled at the duo..and geet felt better… she felt the warmth she had always felt..that calmness that just settled on her heart… it was similar to sometihng…but what? The hug was so familiar… it may not be for maan but she felt it…
Anisha stood at a corner…why did she feel so left out? As if she did not exist! Was there really no anisha? She was completely forgotten…. Why? She felt so alienated… like she didn't belong there! She had no issues with maan and geet's frinedship..but today was something different. She had no importance today… she felt the corners of her eyes burn.. and she was not that vad to say maan to stay away form geet… but it did pinch her!!! The way they hugged..the way geet smiled…. The comfort they shared…..she was just a o one! She was nothing infront of them!
And that hit geet…. It was the same feel..that she feels every night… in her dreams… the person holding her close to his heart.. that comfort.. that ease… that security… and her desire to do anything and everything for that person…. Was it maan? Her eyes widened…. She was in love with that person… she had managed to understand…was it maan? So all this..she had been feeling all these years… she was in love with…..
PRESENT
She woke up with a start with namra trying to wake her up. She didn't even realise when she had slept off the couch itself. Her neck ached…and she loked at the journal in her hands….!
Namra: angel chalo…. Roops jaa rahi hain…
[angel lets go..roops is going..]
Geet checked the time… it was quite late..and she was an early riser.
Geet: papa office chale gaye hain kya? Aap logon ne breakfast kiya?
[ papa left office? You people had breakfast?]
Namra nodded a yes for everything. Geet asked her to go and she'd freshen up and join them. As namra left, geet looked at the journal once again!! She opened the page where she had left the previous night…
"tanha aaj mehsoos kar rahe hain….
Kyun unke dur ho jaane ke khayal se darr rahe hain…
Jaante hain ke wo humare hain….
Phir ye kashmakash kyun?
Kyun aaj unki awaz anjaani si lagi…
Kyun unke ask dhundhle se lage…..
Shayad bas ek khauf hai dil ka…
Kyun aaj unse alag mehsoos hone lage….
Kya khata hui humse ki aaj..
Jaane pehchaane se wo… ajnabi lagne lage!"
Geet realized the poem was something to do with that hospital thing… it was the day she had realised her love for maan….but then..why there was such things in the journal?
