Part 22
pari ' Geet tum bhi laga lona
she snapped back ' nahi main .. mujhe mujhe.. mujhe pasand nahi
mujhe mehendi pasand nahi she said restlessly looking here & there.
He could see her denial not t hurt. He never understood this girl.
Pari looked at her in disbelieve ' kaun si ladkhi ko mehendi nahi pasand, dehko tho Mark ki cousins bhi mehendi laga rahen hain
by then few other girls came & took pari inside.
After Pari left, Geet took the mehendi cone in her hand & kept looking at. She cupped her hand looked at the plain palm. As barren as her life. She looked up to meet his stare, captivated momentarily by the depth, she looked away. She just turned & left to her room.
She waited restlessly whole night for Maanav's call. He had told he will call. After a long wait her eyes gave into the tiredness.
Mk had tried to speak to Sam but she avoided him. He had his dinner with Rahul & Niti. The couple was getting all excited with the wedding feel. Niti got her hand decorated with Rahuls' name hidden in it. She asked him to find it & they had their cute little romance over it. Mk just silently enjoyed it sipping his drink.
Latter at night Pari had a small talk with her mom regarding the fiasco they created abt Geet. She did clear the confusion of her going to Mk's room.
Sleep was far from his eyes. He turned restlessly in the bed. The turn of events were not so simple. He couldn't forgo & just sleep. His eyes were lost in those hazels. So many unfelt emotions.. so many things he didn't want to feel.. he knew there was no future to any of these. He lazily turned to the other side remembering her words simple yet so deep..
he probably spend the whole night just tossing around.
Next day was small sangeet function in the evening. Geet kept aloof the whole day. She didn't even come out of the room. Pari's mom felt bad & herself went & got her out for the sangeet function. Little love & affection was enough to sweep her off the ground.. all she needed was to be accepted. Pari mom's sweet words filled her heart with love she always craved for.
When she went down to the hall every one gave her a disapproving look. Pari immediately dragged her to the room. Yeh kya phena hain Geet.
Geet ' wo mere pass koi aur dress nahi hain
pari shied & let her to her walk in closet.
Geet ' lekin main yeh kaisen
pari ' chup.. just wear something different & come down
Geet didn't want to be a spoil sport but she couldn't have worn any other color. She picked up a light shade salwar kameez. How much she liked colors but couldn't get to wear them. She wore matching cream..white shade bangles. She tied her hair to a plat. No make up.. nothing just her. She came down to the hall with songs playing loud. The girls were teasing each other... older ladies on dholak.. it was typical fun filled sangeet with all ladies.
Pari asked Geet to dance.. she laughed.. & with so much of pleading.. geets little young girl in her gave in .. she arranged the music & danced on a typical sangeet song..
Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau Choodiyan
(hope all of u know this song from chandini movie)
though she wore a simple suit.. but her dance, her moves.. the naughtiness in her eyes that glittered while depicting the cute lyrics oh that was breath taking. Especially to some one who had joined the guys to have a sneak peek.
The Geet every one saw while dancing today.. probably no one had seen for years. Even she hadn't. She probably didn't even knew that part of her still existed some where deep in their. She used to be the jaan of all occations in her family & frd circle. Always playful.. upto some mischief, dancing.. singing.. lost in her closed world of family & frds.
It didn't take her much long to to get back to herself.. her forced self. Immediately after the sangeet she went & changed her dress. She straight went to her room. She felt so different & light. The happiness on Paris face.. she felt contented. she wanted to do something for her.. she shed her barrier just to bring that smile back on her face.
She was an enigma.. he knew that but after seeing her dance like that, the naughtiness in those hazels.. his heart longed for forbidden
