clock ticks ... tick .. tick ...tick..tick..
***day 1== 4.30am
Arjun sat there alone , the only sound of the ticking clock above his head telling him, that he is not dead .not yet .
He sat there trying not to feel the pain washing him off . trying not to be hyper aware of the silence he was in .
He had been always alone, fighting and bearing , embracing destiny . but meeting geet had changed his life .once against . he almost about to forget what is the dangerous loneliness he had lived for years . in one spilt second it was back again .
So he sat there waiting for the horrible night to end . bear the silence , fight the loneliness and a sunrise with her.
But could he wish that ?
Could he hope ?
The only thing was flashing in front of his eyes were the eyes .
They were haunting him.
The honey brown doe eyes , brimming with unshed tears , tears of rejection , tears of pain of betrayal . dripping with fury and hatred.
He shut his eyes tight and leaned back to rest his head on the wall.
He shouldn't have slapped her. he shouldn't have lost control,
She was hurt . a too terribly hurt .
I should have been the one protecting her from it . but instead I hurt her the most .
Shame on me.
The moments came back to him all over . the memories of last night came rushing over to him one after another .
His own faults has lead him to the cliff .
A point where he shoved her off it .
He couldn't bear to be in the room anymore. He needed some air . locking the door behind him he walked out of the dark apartment , once which was home.
***day 1 == 9.00 am
Sunanda and zaria brought back geet to her dorm room from principals place . sunanda offered to stay with her in her room , not wanting geet to be alone .
Geet didn't deny or accept . she wasn't in any condition to think about the company she was having .
She sat their awkwardly on the bean bag , staring at the wall. Refusing to lie down there .even refusing to look at it.At first sunanda didn't understand why she avoided the bed like a plague .but a green sweater laid on the pillow answered it for geet .
She didn't want memories .
Sighing sunanda took that away from her eyes. Then she forced her to lie down on the bed beside her. In no time sleep took over sunanda . but geet eyes wide open , staring at the fan above .
Things happened so quickly she couldn't process them , now lying alone in silence her mind traveled back to few hours ago .
What do you want students ? its pretty early in the morning . Mr sahay had asked opening the door . eyes still hooded with sleep .
Without any word Sunanda took a step aside to let him see geet behind her, which grabbed his attention immediately .
Good heavens geet ! what happened to you ! girls bring her inside .now .
He shrieked .
After a few minutes the four of them found sitting in his study , geet had been offered a glass of water which she emptied quickly .refilled immediately she drank again , finally putting down the glass on the table she felt the inquisitive gawk on her from the principal .
That very moment she had an odd feelings .her head felt dizzy as a thought crossed her that she shouldn't be here in first place . the maddening anger may be wearing the adrenalin off, she thought .
How did this happen geet .? mr sahay asked observing her condition . WHO did this to you .
what should she tell ?she could not form an answer .
I m here to complain against him . aint I ?
the betrayal was blocking her every emotions . the anger blocking everything she should feel .like the conscience that was screaming at her .
answer his question geet . sunanda prodded from behind .
But geet didn't utter a word . once again from last night she could feel the slap tight against her cheek . involuntarily her hand went to her cheek . he slapped her because she knew about dia and him ? questioned him ?
Her eyes welled up again in mortification .she bowed her head . ashamed to cry in front of everyone . the disgracing tears rolled down her cheeks unendingly . but as it seemed she couldn't control it anymore . how could she be so wrong about a man .how could she confess her love for such a person . how could she even fall in love with him . her entire body shook in livid anger .
the four persons in that room waited breathlessly for her answer . gawking at her torn soul . she couldn't decide whom she was angry at .him or herself ? the humiliation was burning her inside out .
Arjun khurana happened with her sir .! vikas was the first one to break the eerie silence .
What ? what do you mean ? Mr Sahay jumped out of his chair at the proclaimed information.
In reply to that that all three of them spoke together .but geet could hardly make what they were speaking .neither could the principal .
wait.. !! stop it ! let one person talk at a time . .
too shattered to think she just sat blankly and let everything happen on their sweet will..she heard her friends talking one by one about scholarship , about harassment and the slap when she didn't want to comply the physical advances of arjun against his HELP for tutoring her for the scholarship .
she could hear vikas talk most of the time . while sunanda and zaria stood at her both sides clutching her shoulders.
After hearing from her friends Mr Sahay turned to geet .
I need to hear this from you geet so answer me. so arjun khurana tried to , umm dishonor you geet .
he dishonored my love , my devotion , my commitment , my faith .my blind trust on him .
He dishonored me !
Geet found herself saying .her heart screamed .
fresh tears stung her . she just let the pain to take over . allowing them to numb her senses . so that she doesn't feel the bite of conscience that now she was feeling when she was listening to a crap of a story vikas made off .
she needed to be angry with him . she reminded herself . because he had broken her , for good.
Ultimately Mr Sahay slumped back on the chair shaken by the situation in front of him .
This was bad . really bad .
After yadubans Board has been very stringent about slightest of this kind of matter . Mr sahay could feel a hurricane is coming down on him in a lightning speed. She was the grand daughter of the Ananat Raichanda . if news paper gets the breathe of this they are going to make his poor life utterly miserable . not to forget the wrath of anant himself at his sheer stupidity and failure to protect his grand child .. the fourth and second semester exam were just 45 days due . arjun khurana had been a great teacher , replacing him immediately before the exams will be a pain in ass . not to forget the explanations he had to give to the board . he might lose his post too caught in this crossfire .
Cold beads of sweat appeared on his forehead .
Times like this Mr Sahay contemplated taking the post of principal in this college . the lump sum amount of money gets deposited in his account every month was no way comparable to the troubles he had to face now .
So geet . just so I m clear Prof Khurana tried to take advantage of you as in return of the Help in tuitions for the scholarship ?
Geet didn't answer . she couldn't move the tongue in her mouth , she could not look up , lift her head . was that true ? she asked herself . her mind might have died , because it didn't reply . so she too didn't .
The exhaustion of the fight she was having with herself had made her dumb by then .
Geet you need to answer him yourself . talk to him baby .. sunanda wiped off the dried tracks on her cheek .
Say yes geet . vikas prodded her.
Did you go to Kanpur with her ?
Yes .
Did you stay in a room with her ?
No . I booked a room . one room .
That's what I told .
I m trusting you now arjun . tell me .. anything .
give me something to believe in .
please arjun .. dont do this to me .
have lost enough in life ..just cant lose you .
arjun ..
please ...
she could still feel the utter silence had been after that in the room . horrendous guilt etched all over his face .
arjun sir slept with dia .. vikas's voice rang in her head .
I love you arjun . I love you so much that I m afraid it gonna kill me .
Yes . she mumbled blinking back the tears
Yes , he had.
This time louder . geet let go of her conscience and let her heart take over .
After that principal had asked her friends to take her back in college saying he will take the necessary steps as quickly as possible . he had also said geet will get justice.
Justice ? how will it give her the justice ?
She didn't know . yet she kept mum .
Geet had thought and let sunanda vikas and zaria take charge of her. The entire way back she leaned on them like a rag doll.
Now 10 hours after it , she was having an odd apprehension . a sheer unease on the pit of her stomach .
A question came rushing to her in spite of how she avoided to acknowledge it .
She had been right ? hadn't she ?
The room felt suffocating to her .
She looked at a sleeping sunanda and hopped down from the bed . opening the door she stepped outside . she needed to be alone now . so she walked out of the hostel , with sky decanting down on her endlessly . soaking in heavens cry she heeded to the neem tree .
The sun hadn't set yet . but the sky had been darkened with the black clouds like an impending doom.
*** day 1 == 11.00 am
After 3 hours of thinking Mr Sahay decided to inform Anant before taking any action or call a board meeting .
Hello Mr Raichanda , its Mr Sahay here .
What is it sahay . be quick . anant snapped being disturbed in the middle of work .
Its about geet .. sahay mumbled after an awkward pause.
What about her ? that struck anant's attention immediately because putting down the pen on the cheque book , he waved everyone out of the room .
Mr . Sahay kept talking for next two minutes . with each passing second Anant's brows furrowed more .
So what should I do ? Sahay asked narrating the whole incident .
Anant kep mum for a few seconds then very cautiously spoke . His voice had the calmness that startled Mr Sahay , who had expected anant to explode . But certainly he had been wrong because of what anant uttered afterwards .
Do what you need to do sahay .
What ? But sir . it would mean the whole thing out in the media . they would create a ruckus as soon as they get the hold of this news . I was worrying that you might not like the way it will be flamed up disgracing raichanda family and scandalize it .
I know Sahay . what does this mean. You don't have to teach me that . but sometimes scandals are good . do exactly what you need to do . and give a statement to the media yourself . narrating every bit of what you just said to me .dont forget to add the details ..but before that answer me just two questions
1. Has she been raped ?
2. Who is that boy came with her last night ? whats his name ?
No sir . I don't think she has been raped . it was an molestation actually , then she had run from there . at least what that vikas told me.
The boy is Vikas . Vikas Agarwal sir . son of MP Akash agarwal
MP Akash agarwal ! anant caressed the word in his tongue before hanging up on Sahay abruptly .
Sahay gaped at the disconnected receiver before muttering a curse word to himself . it would have been better to take an ordinary post in any govt college than making an errand boy of these ludicrous complicated riches.
On other side, Anant speed dialed a number in his mobile , get back in my office Awasty .. quick !
Nayab Awasty had been his right hand man for last 30 years .who had witnessed every dirty things of the family and yet kept his lips sealed , even to his son satya came running to his masters office as the order reached him .
Within a minute awasty entered the room in hurried footsteps . he was still trying to catch his breaths when anant barked at him
Get me every information about Vikas Agarwal , son of Akash Agarwal. Within one hour .
*** day 1 == 12.30 pm
Vikas lit a cigarette stretching his legs on the table of the empty union room .
A yawn escaped him reminding that he hadn't slept a blink in last 36 hours .
May be he should take a nap . but instantly he contemplated the thought . he didn't want to miss any of the drama that was about to happen in the college for a damn nap . hell it was far more interesting . at that time his mobile rang , he squinted at the unknown number , but took it anyways .
Hello vikas agarwal ?
Yeah speaking .. vikas replied still confused about the collar's identity
Or should I just call you Mr Good Samaritan .
the voice on the other side was icy cold .
Vikas felt his palms clamming when he heard the last two word . how did know it was me ? dad told me to be aware of that cunning oldie .god should have listened .
Not getting the answer anant spoke again .
May be you are thinking how I identified you . but I m telling you don't waste your time on that . instead just focus on my words . that way it will be better for you . I hope you understand that .
Yeess ! yes sir . vikas stammered
I m assuming you have been a kind friend to my grand 'daughter . but she has got me . Anant Raichanda as her friend . believe me she doesn't need another . so I would suggest you to keep your distances from her and stop playing your sick games with her as it won't be good for you and your beloved father's health . she is getting married pretty soon anyways . so stay away from my girl . if you ever be even seen with geet , let alone talk , I will be mad. And Mr Agarwal I don't do good when I m mad .!
Is it clear Mr Agarwal !!
Vikas didn't answer . he was too shocked to reply . how could he possibly knew . vikas hadn't told any of these to a single soul . geet's getting married ???
Is it clear Mr. Agarwal !!
Anant let out a hushed growl . the menacing chill in his voice shot vikas and blurted a low "yes" out from him .
Good boy !
With that the disconnected tune rang in vikas's ears . he could feel his own blood pounding in his ears .
*** day 1 == 9 pm
Saare vaadon ka bharam, pal mein voh tod gaya
Gham ke jis mod pe laake voh mujhe chhod gaya
Main ussi mod ki dehleez pe so jaaoongi
Umr bhar uske liye ajnabi ho jaaoongi
It was still raining torrentially . geet was still seating on the bench below the neem tree, like a statue of melancholy .seeking warmth in the shade created by the sprawling tree that was giving her a bit shelter from the downpour of misery .
she sat there oblivious to her soaked condition ,staring blank ahead . the tears losing their way in the rain .
nobody other than geet was out of their rooms in there .
well except another .
arjun who was all day roaming aimlessly along the bank of river ganges felt his legs taking them to the neem tree , the sacred haven of their love .
it was after he reached there ,he knew that he wasn't the only one seeking shelter here .
there she sat . like a wax doll . her grey suit soaked in rain . her long tresses scattered lose on her back . her entire from sodden wet. immense sadness dripping from the every part of her being ,like she had been drenched in the pain .
he wondered if love is all about hurt . cause seeing her hurt like that hurt him more , when he is the one had given her that .
arjun stared at the beauty for minutes before coming and taking the seat beside her.
She looked lost ahead not noticing him ..
Geet .. ..!
The whisper muffled by the rains entered geet , like bringing her back from dead.
She flinched at the affection and wanton need his voice held , like he was digging in her heart .
She didn't speak , just a pained sob escaped . that tore arjun into two halves . like splash of knife sliced him in two .
He hadn't known until then how much he loved her . that her pain could kill him barehanded .
Oh baby ..!
arjun pulled her to him with all his power not able to stand the distance any more , she lost balance and fell on his chest .
At the contact of the familiar rock hard solidness of his chest under her palm , she looked up .
The sea deep eyes brimming with unshed tears , mirroring her own , looking down at her , like she is the pit of his life .
his fingers cradled her cheeks where his fingers had made that ruthless marks . stopping at the corner of her lips .
she found herself drinking the eyes that had infinite love for her . or so it seemed. a drop of tear rolled down from his eye which she mistook as rain .
But he didn't love her .. she knew better .
Pehle maaloom na tha, aaj yeh maine samjha
Pyaar kehte hai jisse, voh hai dilon ka saudaa
The wound was still fresh .
the brutality of his own action slapped him . the pad of his thumb automatically touched her lip at it .making her return her back to reality at the searing pain scorched her . his lips were coming down on her when he was shoved off with a jolt .
befuddled by the loss of her feel in his arms he stared at her .
that you have now touched me with your dirty hands , even holy ganges cant wipe off the sin touched me .
geet ..!
she shook her head , and about to walk away . when she felt a tug at her dupatta .
her hand wanted to snatch it off him , but it held no power against the earnest pull.
I love you geet ..
A bolt stroke down from the sky in front of her. She stood stupefied as the lightening lit up the dark sky .
For a second her heart stopped beating . she couldn't see anything but him. In a world lost in a hailstorm he bared his soul .
the eyes were stormy , filled with mist .
She couldn't read them . her own tears clouded her vision .
How she had craved for this moment .
I have always been in love with you since I have known you .
She wanted to clam her ears and scream . but she did nothing . she just stood there , unable to tear the gaze that his intense eyes held .
He was one heck of a liar . because she almost believed her .
Geet smiled , a small sad one .
And you really want me to believe you ?
She shook her head and ran , ran as fast as her legs could bear . she needed to go away from him before she runs opposite and crushed herself on his chest .
Geet '
Geet ..
Geet wait ''.please don't go ..
Her sobs came back to him raked his entire being . he stood there unaware of what the next morning brings for him
She could hear him yelling her name madly .
She clammed her ears and ran .
***day 2 == 8 am .
Arjun was getting ready for his class when the peon knocked on his door and informed principal wanted to meet him urgently
Arjun was surprised at the sudden message sent by the peon when he would have been meeting him in an hour after the first class of that morning . but nonetheless he complied . he asked the peon to inform the 1st year students that the class has been cancelled .
As he reached principals chamber he felt a strange sensation .outside the room few students were standing in groups , staring at him oddly , few of them were from his dept , but they looked at him disapprovingly . why ? he didn't understand . shrugging he entered inside and it was more odd . there in that room principal was seated in his chair , the HOD of English in front of him and beside him seated the public communications secretary Mr iqbal pasha . all three of them had the most grave expression on them .
But that's not what surprised him , it was geet who sat on a low stool on the right of Mr Sahay . behind her sunanda zaria and vikas . vikas ? what is he doing here .
He looked at geet who had her eyes down cast . but still he knew that she had cried all night . face flushed red and swollen lips . the purple bruise still there . he swallowed and shifted his eyes not wanting to stare at her in front of everyone .
A nagging bad feeling struck him as he greeted the three person and took the empty seat kept for him .
Prof khurana , I m afraid there a bad news for you .
Mr Sahay started . god knows why he couldn't make himself to be rude with young fellow . inspite off the worst allegation has been thrown at him . but he had decided he would give arjun a chance to defend himself before the board meeting . hence the early morning call .
Arjun nodded , not wanting to speak .
Miss Geet raichanda , a student of 2nd year English hons , has brought an awfully bad allegation against you . he paused for a brief second then continued .
You have been accused of sexual harassment of geet raichanda .
Geet could swear the clock had stopped ticking at that moment . the big age old room stilled in deathly silence .
Arjun thought he misheard him .
I beg your pardon sir !
Two hearts beating million beats per second . blood pounding in ears .adrenaline rushing through veins .
Miss geet says , when she wanted to be a part of the tuition's for the scholarship , which miss dia basu was presently having , you have brought a very indecent proposal to her, when she denied you have forced yourself on her and abused her.
All arjun could hear after that was a deafening buzzing sound like the bees make . all around him .
It seemed thousands of bee bit him at the same exact moment . a shot of raw pain shoot through him .
He stared at Mr Sahay who seemed uncomfortable to look in his eyes . uncomfortable or embarrassed ? he didn't know .
Time ticked on , nobody even breathed .
Arjun slowly lowered his head not wanting to see anything . anything at all . specifically not geet in the peripheral vision . he stared at his palms on his lap blocking everything out .
Mr Sahay swallowed , cleared his throat and spoke .
So Mr Khurana , do you have anything to say against that . anything to support yourself .
Geet couldn't help but brace her .
NO !
That was it . he didn't look up, didn't question , didn't show his stun , just a no .
Like it didn't matter to him anymore.
Geet's eyes shot up at his curt answer .
His entire form coiled . like he despised the air .because she was breathing in it ?
Her eyes scanned his form for a single sign of what was going on in his mind . but she couldn't decipher .
Its like within moments he has built an infinite brick wall around himself , aloof from the world .
Geet wished she could see his eyes .like last night ..when he had said those words.
I love you geet ..
I have been in love with you since i have known you
He betrayed her , he slept with dia , lied behind her back , cheated her . used her .
But at this moment she couldn't understand why she was having this sudden pang of regret looking at the handsome brute who kept his chin stuck with his chest . the soft brown hairs tussled on his forehead .way too innocently..
He didn't look defeated , he looked disgusted .
She wished she could feel the anger she had for him at this moment . but it deserted her leaving alone to witness the effect of her action . she felt aimless , powerless .
The rest of the three aged persons looked at each other at arjun's odd reaction . whatever they had expected surely they didn't expect this.
So you accept the allegation has been brought against you ? Mr Sahay was puzzled when arjun didn't support himself . in deep of his mind he expected this to be a big misunderstanding . but when arjun said no it surprised and confused him at the same moment .
Arjun didn't reply . didn't move . didn't flinch .
Sahay asked again .
Mr Khurana , so you accept the allegation has been brought against you .
No comments !
Another sharp reply , chin still stuck with chest .
Sach keh raha hai dewana ..
Dil ..dil na kisise lagana ..
Jhute hai yaar ke wade sare ..
Jhute hai peyar ke kasme '
Look up . look up arjun . look at me .. geet muttered in her mind . she didn't know why she was suddenly so desperate to look in his eyes .
But arjun didn't .
Why isn't he looking at me ?
Geet who was supposed to be relieved by getting her revenge , was having a conflicting feelings .
She didn't know why it dejected her so much that he refused to meet her eyes .
Mr sahay , and the other too looked at each other unsettled by the sudden stillness of his .
You can take the legal actions that's necessary .just have me informed where and when to reach . if we are done here , can I go ?
Mr sahay . in his 25 years of teaching experience had never faced a situation like this . so he did what he was supposed to do siding his own thoughts about the matter .
Yes Mr khurana . but as you must know you have been suspended from any educational activities till the board meeting which is being held at afternoon 4 pm .
Arjun nodded and got up from chair .
When he did , the mobile slipped from his pocket and clanged on the floor .
Mr Pasha who was beside him stooped to help him , in all this their positions interchanged , and what arjun had been dreading happened before he knew .
His eyes met hers .
Maine har lamha jisse chaaha, jisse pooja
Ussi ne yaaron mera dil
Toda toda,
tanha tanha chhodaaa..
She flinched instantly wishing they didn't .
His eyes were cold . as cold as death . there had a strange mixture of emotions .rage disbelief , mocking and pure unadulterated hatred .
So opposite than the other night
she didnt know if he had loved her then ..
but she was sure
He loathed her today ..
Geet , who stood stupefied with her eyes locked with arjun ,couldn't feel anything beyond that ..
And the fact that he hated her at this extent sucked the life out of her .
Sunanda nudged her . zaria pulled at her arm . but she stood still , her eyes held that regret arjun could see , yet ignored radically .
Mr Sahay saw that exchange and knew in his bones what had gone wrong , but he was just a doll chained by the situation . he indicated the other two person , who might have felt the same , to walk out with him . they complied . vikas who was bit disturbed himself today by a certain caller yesterday , walked out of there fishing out the mobile from his pocket . his job was long done here.
Arjun didn't know what he should feel when he watched her to turn more pale every passing second . he knew he couldn't hide his emotions from her . on second thought he didn't want to .
Sundar sundar voh haseena badi
Sundar sundar
main to khone laga
Uske nashe mein bin piye baheka, aah
Sundar sundar voh haseena badi
Sundar sundar
main to khone laga
Uske nashe mein bin piye bahekaaa..
Ek din usse bhoola doonga main
Uske nishaan mita doonga main
Chaahoonga na main us patthar ko
Jaa usse bata deee'.. ..
He hated her . he contemplated every effort achieving this girl who was supposedly his wife . he contemplated forgetting his mother's death over this girl ,
He could remember the dejected voice of his mother's when she had said .
I m shocked to find my own son loves a girl more than his own mother .i m so ashamed of myself.
Today He wished he would have listened to her back then .
His mother would have been with him , alive and supportive , unlike the lying bitch standing in front of himself.
Did you do it after I confessed ? i must say , nice reply !
He was surprised at the intensity of sharp derision his own voice held . he didn't know his lips curled in a acerbic smile .
Geet didn't answer . her face as white as a blank page .
Arjun thought if he hadn't hate her this much , he would have been really concerned , because she looked like she was going to faint .
Arjun didn't wait for her answer .
He walked out of there in his trademark arrogant stride.
Maine har lamha jisse chaaha, jisse pooja
Ussi ne yaaron mera dil
Toda toda,
tanha tanha chhodaaa' ..
What did he mean geet ?
Sunanda asked as arjun vanished behind the corner .
Geet , who hadn't blinked after he was gone , whispered
that , he had loved me once .
She knew at that moment if he had ever did , he is never going to love her ever again. not in this lifetime .and that killed her in thousand deaths .
He didn't utter a word to her , didn't need to . but she had gotten all answers .
Whatever may be the facts were in front of her , she was horrendously erroneous . even if she had found them in bed , that wouldn't have supported her action of today .
She shouldn't have done this . not this !!.
He had the right to love anyone be with anyone , even if it was never her . even if it was always dia . but he didn't hate her then like he does now .
It was excruciating to know that .
But the ball was thrown .
She dragged her lead like legs with her friends by her side , and walked out of the room to reach the lobby .she was stunned to find the sight infront of them .there were mobs , reporters students everywhere .shouting picketing . where do all these people came from within such short time.? How long they had been inside ?
Arjun khurana shame shame !!
Arjun khurana murdabad !
Hand over the molester !!
We want him behind bars !!
Arjun khurana hai hai !!
Geet dreaded the angry mob shouted ahead of them . they were ready to kill him with their bare hands .
Her eyes frantically searched arjun when she witnessed a scene that knocked the air out of her windpipe .
Arjunnn'.!!! Involuntary yelp escaped as she ran to him .
A man has thrown a stone aiming arjun's head .
Aah !
He stumbled at the impact . instantly blood gushed out from the wound that he had clammed under his palm .
Arjunnn..>!!!!
Geet ran hysterically at his side .
DON'T !!! a dangerous hiss stopped her dead in her track as she was about to reach his head .now the blood gushing furiously from his forehead , flowing down marring his stainless handsome face .
You have helped enough . wouldn't need anymore .
He had hissed at her menacingly .
His eyes as red as the blood whipped her on face .
The hatred was unbearable .
She didn't dare move.
Sach keh raha hai dewanaaa..
Dil ..dil na kisise lagana '
Jhute hai yaar ke wade sare ee.
Jhuthi hai peyar ki kasme ..
By that time , security was arranged by the authority , they escorted arjun to his apartment , once which had seemed home .
A man who was the epitome of discipline and ethics is being wanted by mob . alleged molestation by his student ..
Geet was surrounded by the reporters , concerned , sympathetic people . they said they are with her.they said they would bring justice to her . they said they would pray for his death sentence trying to rape a student .
They are supporting me ?
Do I deserve it ?
Justice ? what justice ?
Do I want it ?
Death sentence ?
You will be the death of me !
a gruff voice whispered in her brain .as she stood amongst the rowdy crowd not even aware of their presence .
she didn't know if she can forgive arjun for what he did with her .
but at this point standing in the middle of the gigantic mess she had created , she knew .. she wouldn't be able to forgive herself ever for this .
she had lied through her teeth .
if she was mad at arjun for lying to her .
she was not very different .
the entire life .
for arjun it was finished !
the pain that seemed unbearable to her has caused him his life .
what love was that ? that is not worth sacrificing ?
why couldn't she sacrifice her pain ..?
she claimed she loved him ?
didn't she ?
***day 2 ==12.30 pm
Geet sat on the floor of her room . her back rested against the bed . her knees hugged by her hands on which she rested her chin .
Zaria sat on the bean bag , sunanda taken the chair . nobody was talking to each other . but their thoughts were on same track .
They have done a huge mistake . which was beyond repair .
All their thoughts wandered off to where it all started .
Sunanda grimaced as she remembered vikas to propose that first . and her seconding that . when geet was in a state of beyond understanding . even zaria tried to stop them . wish she had listened .
If zaria was thinking the same . she didn't express it . not wanting to sprinkle salt on her wound .
At that moment the mobile rang .
A name flashed on it .
Dev .
Sunanda picked up ..not wanting to disturb geet .
Hello .
Umm.. is geet there .
Err . geet's bit busy . any msg to pass . I can take it .
Well I m in your college and I m here for a file that I m supposed to reach dadaji .
Oh just a sec .
sunanda covered the phone by her palm and asked geet .
Geet , some dev,s here .. he wants a file .
Oh now ? I cant su . just cant see anyone .
Hello dev . can you give us some time .
Err . yeah okay . listen is she alright ? I mean I got the news now .
Uh . she's perfect . I will get back to you in 5 mins .
Okay . I m waiting in my car . the place is congested .
Who is dev geet ? he seemed concerned about you . sunanda asked hanging up the phone . and how the hell he recognized by a hello that it was not you ?
That would be my fiancee
