Part 14
She felt like she did a sin. She closed her eyes shutting herself from the world. She didn't care how it all looked or seemed to him. She just walked to door of her apt & held it open indicating him to leave at once. He stared at her for few secs reading her expression that gave out nothing. He took a deep breath & walked pass to the door. He closed the door & stood inside resting his back on it, crossing his arm over his chest, staring back at her. She looked at him utter dismay.
Everytime she kept herself aloof burring her sorrows deep down her heart, so she doesn't have to cope with the struggle of painfully breathing alive she always, always ends up getting hurt again. Feeling the pain only to remind her she is alive yet another painful reality she has to live with through out her life. She exhaled! The pressure of trying to hold it together was killing her. The memories the promise she made to self, to him, began to get more & more intense, more agonized as each second ticked by. Her mask of peacefulness began to form a crack!! she knew it was not her mistake. It was this guy infront of her!!! but then his constitution was such !! but why does she have to face the brunt of it.
She wanted some time alone. She was not happy with this circumstance she was getting pushed it into. It had taken a long time for her to lead a peaceful & harmonious life if u call it one. She hated this him.
She was blank at the moment with the sadness consuming. She turned back to him hiding the anger that now began to surface with her helplessness. He just stood their agonizingly tantalizing her rage. She wanted to yell at him, scream at him.. but she kept mum. She took couple off deep breaths.. squeezed her hand together. Almost an hr passed with the tension lingering in the room. Him calmly leaning against the door staring at her back while her heart beat only rising.. & then realizing her own mistake. She sighed giving up
I am sorry
he knotted is brows. This women infront of him is an enigma he had to agree. He could even think that she had some super natural power or something!!! like she cast some spell on him. He expected her to shout, put up a fight may be even call police but here she was saying sorry. Like every unexpected action of hers even this was out his understanding.
Mana ki aap galat the.. lekin mujhe aap pe haat.. she looked sincerely sorry
I am sorry MK
He didn't say anything just left confused with his own emotions. He had to hold himself from this unnamed uncontrolled zeal. He just left without a word.
She quickly locked the door. Finally, not being able to resist her emotions, she slid down the wall, tears rolling down her cheeks, sobbing as she curled herself on the ground. For the first time in 2 yrs, she felt so vulnerable.

He finished another bottle of whiskey sitting in the couch in the living room. He closed his eyes. He could only think about her, not today but since the day he saw those beautiful hazels, every day, no matter how many times he denied it to everyone else & himself. She had been in his mind all long. Dammit she is so stubborn, ambiguous, beautiful ! his expression softened. Her hazel eyes left much to imagination, he sighed he could never tell what she was thinking. She was unreadable, which anyone could find frustrating. But to him, to his own surprise found it ridiculously attractive. Every day, he had learned something new about her. Dammit he broke the bottle. He hated this !!! when he very well knew the inner battle he has all along. So he just decided to leave it there.. unnamed while the destiny had some plans.
****************
Couple of months had passed after their encounter in her apartment. Geets summer break was over & she was back to her hostel. She was busy with her thesis submission & final paper when she got an invite of Pari's wedding. It was during the Christmas break in a different city. Geet was drawn into her own pool of sorrows. She decided otherwise. But when Pari herself came & took her literally pulled her along she couldn't do much.
It was good 8hrs drive in mk's car. Pari couldn't believe her kanjoos landlord had agreed to drive them down. Well the fact was he couldn't deny to Pari's dad. He was close frd of Mk's dad. That was the reason he allowed Pari to be his PG plus he needed some extra money to maintain that big house after his parents died leaving him the house & business. He couldn't take care of the business then since he was too young then. He had no clue how his dads business partner fooled them & took it all. He had managed part-time job & studies. Well now he was a successful & shrewd financial consultant.
So here they were Pari, Mk, Sam, Azaan, Rahul, Niti & Geet. Their eyes had that silent battle ever since she entered the car. Like usual Geet maintained a low profile.
Rahul ' Oh Geet sweet heart we really missed u
she just lowered her gaze not missing those dark eyes that were piercing her through the rear view mirror.
