Part 9
The only girl he allowed near him. They shared a sweet relation & he knew she was different. Why not he has known her from childhood. They have been together through all the hardships of life. The only person he would trust in this cunning world.
************
Just before the vacation her room mates from hostel & other girls planned for river rafting & camping plan. Geet initially denied but then agreed when they insisted. It was first time she ever indulge into something. There was this unknown fear in her towards this concept of fun. Like she believed she doesn't deserve all this. Like it not part of her life, not meant for her. She was bit nervous & anxious. She packed her backpack as per her frds instruction. She had no clue wat dress to carry & wat not to. But then there is always a first time.
It was a bright sunny day. The group of girls drove to the picnic spot in their car. They put up their tents & arranged their sleeping bags. They had a sweet camp fire session at night. Geet liked everything. All her frds were also not that pushy on her, they knew she preferred to be silent & aloof. She just enjoyed from far curdled up in the sleeping bag. She didn't sit anywhere near the fire .. since that only made her scared surfacing that painful incident.
Next day the guide took them in the rafting trip. The river was pretty rough with the flow but in all it was fun. While they were hitting one of the curve Geet fell off .. it was normal to fall & then climb back up but then thats with good swimmers not a person like Geet. She was enjoying the whole thing until she realized the water was deeper than she expected. The trail they followed was not that fast.. but she lost out & found herself drifting away from the group. She tried her best to wave hands & signal them.. nothing helped.
Thank god she had the life jacket on. She floated across & held on to the nearest rock. She looked around for help. She was not panicking she knew sooner or latter her group will realize she is missing & will come back looking for her. Wat she didn't expect was the current of water to increase & water to be biting cold as the time passed.. & holding on to the rock seemed a very impossible process.
She held on to the rock as far as she could .. & then her fingers gave away. She was pushed away into the stream her head banged against the rock. thud!!!!
Her head was spinning .. her head was hung downward.. her hands & legs were floating in air. Did she die!!! she tried to think. Oh god.. her head had a sever pain, she remembered blacking out, she felt a tug on her waist. She tried hard to open her eyes to make out where exactly she was. Initially she could only see something brown. She closed her eyes & opened it again. His hands effortlessly carrying her drifting against the current of the water.. she wiggled & screamed in panic!
leave me!!
Chup ek dam chup.. he glared down at her
he let her down the moment they reached the shallow end of the river.
As he walked away, Geet looked around to figure out where exactly she was. She turned around couple of times, she couldn't make out anything. Then she looked at the direction he walked. He was walking towards a tent. She removed her life jacket.. probably the only thing that kept her alive after she passed out.
She could make out the sun was abt to set. She quickly tried to reach this stranger, who probably was not a stranger, after all the life saving sessions they have had. She didn't know how to ask him for a help, knowing he doesn't like that, but then he is the only human around here as of now.
She cleared her throat reluctantly
he conveniently ignored her continuing his task to cut the logs for the fire.
Tha..thanks she spoke with chattering teeth
He cut a thick log through
she hugged herself close could u help me reach my camp
he cut another thick log.. like he totally disproved
could u atleast tell me how to go from here
main tumhara naukar nahi hoon he spat walking into the tent reaching out for a shirt. She just followed in herself irritated at his constant ill treatment towards her. He clenched his teeth at her audacity. She reached to one of his another shirt causally & then glared at him bahar jayen mujhe change karna hain
how dare u? He reached to hold her arm. She stepped back making distance between them.
dehkiyen mujhe thant lag rahiyen, aur in kapdon main bimar hosakti hoon. Phir aapko hi mujhe hospital puhchana padega.
He walked out irritated
I shall wash it & return to u tomorrow thats wat he heard from her, before she disappeared into the woods wearing his black shirt.
He didn't bother to look at her but the thought if she made it safely to her camp kept him awake. Every time he turned towards the thin rope that he had placed to hang wet cloths - the site of her white shirt she left behind bothered him. The wet shirt then had stubbornly clung against her frame, forming around her natural curves leaving nothing to his imagination. He had tried hard to look away but this girl has her ways to irritate him. Oh dammit he hates her.
