|| Part 9 ||

I am standing over by the window, still reeling from gigantic ball of fire that was dropped on me in Beeji's room.

"Virat beta, please don't tell Manvi. Her mom sent her here so that she can stay away from all this tension - so that she can focus on her studies. Manvi cannot tolerate this, she will not stay here for another second if she gets to know that her mom has cancer. She thinks her mom is angry with her, that's the only reason she is resigned herself to staying with us. She is too sensitive beta and Manvi's mom is undergoing treatment. She will be fine in a few months and they she will come and get Manvi. Promise me Virat. Not a word to Manvi."

"Will she ok Beeji?" I ask.

"God is with us beta, ofcourse she will be alright."

What if her mom doesn't recover? What will happen to Manvi when she comes to know that her mom was suffering all this while and she couldn't even stay with her in the most needful hour? Will she forgive me if she came to know that I knew this all that time?

"Knock! Knock!" I hear someone at the door bringing me out of the havoc going on in my head. I compose myself and turn around to see Manvi, to my surprise.

I look at her radiant face. She was holding Shlok's hand and laughing with him. Her laugh is a panacea to the world - so lively, so magical, so sexy. I can keep looking at her forever and even more.

Shit! Her mom! She is sick and what are you thinking Virat? Pervert!

I clear my throat and ask her to come in."Manvi, tum yaha?" I go to the door.

"You have to say who's there? silly." She smiles angelically.

"Kya?"

"Knock knock!" she looks at me with a 'duh' look.

Abhi isko mujhe joke batana hai? Hadh hai!

"Who's there?" I ask with a please-stop-this-crap look.

"Cows go." She says with a straight face.

"Cows go who?" I roll my eyes.

"No silly, cows go mooo..." and she and Shlok are laughing like a couple of mad people.

"Hasna tha? Seriously Manvi, what is wrong with your sense of humor? Shlok, baaag yaha se. I will seriously hurt you if you tell anyone else one more knock-knock joke. " Shlok runs away.

"One more, one more.." she pleads.

I start pretending to cry. "Manvi? I need a wall to bang my head."

"Just one..please. You can tell this joke to your girl friend. She will be delighted."

"Will she be delighted or will she dump me?"

"Knock! knock." She goes ignoring my annoyance.

"ufff! Manvi? Mera mood nahi hai...aur ye kya bachoo jaise."

She makes a puppy face. I get lost looking at her deep sparkly eyes. How can she be this cute? "Ok. Who's there?" I ask giving up, trying to get a grip over myself.

"Olive." She smiles.

"Olive who?"

"Olive you." (pronounces as I-love-you.) She shrugged her shoulders and is batting her eye-lashes.

My face splits into a heart-warming smile. I just couldn't help it.

How does a guy resist this?

What was I thinking about a few minutes ago?

I don't remember.

"Yeh bhi shlok ne bataya?" I ask her smiling shyly.

"Haan, but I added the flirty parts." She walks inside my room and starts looking through things like she has been in here all her life.

"So, you are flirting with me?" I ask leaning on the wall with folded hands. She is wearing a pink flowery dress which came upto her knees. Her legs had a small anklet which was making a sweet tinkling sound when she walks around. She left her hair open with just one small clip holding it from falling onto her forehead. I wanted to remove that clip and smell her hair and kiss her flawless face - just a small like peck - for now.

"What? Nooo, I was practising. Muje Maya se maar khani hai kya?" she replied, bringing me out of my wayward thoughts.

Huh?

"Practising?" A pang of jealously hits my heart like a boomerang.

"You know, Maya was telling me that Sushant is the most eligible bachelor in the college and it he is very hard to get. So, I told her, no guy is hard to get. They are all douches and they all only want one thing. She challenged me to get him be my boy-friend. I said, I will, that too in 24 hours."

"Manvi, I don't think you should hang out with Maya too much." I tell her. The anxiety in my voice clearly evident.

"Kyu? Tume time nahi de rahi hai?" She teases.

"Nahi, she is a bad influence on you."

"Acha? Is that why you are dating her? So that you can exploit her and dump her? You are a douche tooo!" She is angry and outraged.

"Its not like that Manvi. Frankly, I am not into her that much. She asked me out one time and I got excited because she is..who she is. And then we just kept hanging out." I explain to her sincerely.

Why am I explaining my relationship to her again? You know why, the little voice in my head taunts me - You want her to be yours.

"Chill yaaar. I was just pulling your leg. It's not like she is dreaming about a future with a house, two kids and car with you. She has her eyes on Sushant! Tere se bore ho gayi hai!" she replies going through the CD collection.

"Erm, Manvi. I have something important to tell you."

"I am listening."

"Er, not here. Can I take you out?"

"Out?"

"Yes, can we go out somewhere?"

"Sure, I will go call Shlok. Lets get ice-cream."

"No. Manvi. I mean, just the two of us?"

"Excuse me?"

"I need to talk to you about something very important. Just, meet me outside in 10 min. I will get the bike."'

She looked at me burrowing her eye-brows and after staring at me in silence for a few seconds, she agrees. "Ok."

I want to talk to her about everything. About her mom, about what I heard from Beeji. I need to test to see how she feels about this stuff. She has right to know about her mom. How would I have felt if I was not told about my Beeji's heart condition. The only reason I accepted my fate was because I spent every waking minute of her last days by her side. I cannot take this away from Manvi. I have to break my promise to Beeji.

<><><>

We were both sitting in a booth inside a cafe. I was thinking hard about how to break the news to her. There was like a weird nervousness inside me.

"What is it you want to talk about?" Manvi asks.

"There is no good way to say this Manvi. It is about your mom." I start.

She literally chokes on her coffee. "What about my mom??" she asks anxiously.

I stop dead in my tracks. No, I cannot do this. Not like this. Manvi is so fragile and emotional; will she be able to take this? Beeji said not to tell her about this - she must be having very good reasons for her decision. I am suddenly torn apart. What will happen after I tell her?

She will panic, she will turn the whole world upside down to go to her mom.

How is everyone going to react?

What about her college? She already lost an year?

I am confused. Maybe..may..be..I should just ask her. What would she do?

"Erm. Manvi, it's not really about your mom. I mean, it is about moms and daughters in general. You see, this friend of mine - Sapna - her mom is not well. I mean she has cancer and Sapna doesn't know of it. I came to know of it from somebody else and that somebody made me promise that I wouldn't tell Sapna anything. Because Sapna is very young and frankly she wouldn't be able to do anything anyways. Sapna's mom is getting all the necessary treatment and there are people taking good care of her. So, she might as well focus on her studies, away from all the baggage. All Sapna's mom cares about right now is her daughter's happiness and that is why she kept all this from her."

"So, you are in a dilemma - whether or not to tell Sapna about all this?"

"Yeah, I wanted to ask you. I mean if it was you in Sapna's shoes, would you want me to tell you? I mean, guys deal with this stuff differently. If it was me in Sapna's position, I would want to know about it, 100%."

"And what would you have done after knowing?"

"I would have taken care of my mom, tended to her, cared of her, until she got well."

"Yeah? And taken her only source of contentment? - make her feel guilty that she is taking her family - her daughter or son down along with her? Listen Virat, if you are thinking from the mother's perspective - you shouldn't tell your friend but at the same time, if you are thinking from the daughter's perspective, it is your responsibility and duty a friend to tell her about this. It is difficult to choose which person's side to take.

I think you should do the practical thing - let their parents deal with their shit, they know what's best for their daughter. Everybody is different. Some people have the stomach for these kind of bad news, but some people just break-down and get marked for life.

I personally would get a heart attack if I knew something like this happened to my mother. I mean, I will literally die - I will not be able to take it." She said with a look of horror on her face.

I watch her more confused. For a girl who is as rebellious as her, she has a deep rooted respect for elders and parents hidden somewhere in her twisted heart.

"Penny for your thoughts?" she asks.

"If you were in my place, you wouldn't tell Sapna?"

"What are you looking for? Retribution? Jeez Virat, man up! Do whatever you want to do. There is no right or wrong thing here. It is about what YOU feel is right. Make a decision and stand your ground."

I feel that there is nothing more right than keeping that smile on your angel face.

"Virat?" she smiles putting her elbows on the table and coming forward.

"Yeah?" I smile sweetly.

"Maya is here."

"Oh, where?"

"Behind you."

I turned around and there was nobody. I turn back and glare at Manvi. She was laughing. Her laugh was ringing my ears like an echo. What is happening to me?

"Acha chill. I just wanted you to cheer you up. Who is this girl Sapna by the way? Is she the reason why you are not scared about Maya anymore?"

"I was NEVER scared of Maya." I object.

"Right!!! Oh baybeee, my butterscotch, my cupcake !! Remember? Mr. I-want-to-be-a-good-boyfriend. Oh, and not to forget, Mr. Orange peeler." She started teasing me mimicking my voice.

"I am glad you find me entertaining." I pout taking a sip of my coffee.

"Aww!! You look so cute. Maya would be swooning at your feet looking at you pout like this."

That's it!!! I can't hear this anymore. It is downright irritating .

"Manvi, there is something, I really wanted to tell you and I know this isn't how I planned to break it to you, but your 'maya' crap is literally getting on my nerves. So, here it goes - I really like you and I want to hang out with you."

Crap! I cannot believe I said that. Well, I did. It's out now. Deal with it Virat.

She looks surprised and she stares at me for a few seconds."I like you too and I like hanging out with you." She replies playing with the straw in her cold coffee.

Don't act naive with me Manvi. I put my hand on hers to gain her attention "Manvi, not like that. I mean, not like friends..like..er..more than friends."

Here, I said it. It is out on the table. I am suddenly very nervous. My heart was racing and so was my breath.

She looks at my hand on hers and then at me - surprised. "You are kidding!?" she says but doesn't move her hand away.

"No. I really like you." I tell her sincerely.

"Since when?" She asks.

"Since, I don't know." I take a deep breath. "..a few days. I forget everything in my life when you are around. I..I like having you around." I tell her with a small smile.

God! I must be sounding so cheesy. I search for words. Maybe I should be honest. "Like, I wanted to tell you that you look cute in this pink dress you are wearing since morning and I know that would be inappropriate. I want to be able to say such things to you."

She looks down at her dress and at me. "Cute?" she asks, with a tinge of disappointment in her voice.

"Cute, pretty..um..sexy.." My heart is racing in anticipation of her reaction. How is she going to take this? I feel such a thrill and at the same time, the little voice in the head starts cursing me - this is too soon, you are scaring her.

And like it is the most obvious thing to do, I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips, kissing it softly.

She closes her eyes and gulps.

She is affected by me!!

My heart just leaped out of my mouth and is doing somersaults on the table in between us.

She is looking into my eyes, holding my stare and then she just looks away and she smiles - a heart-stopping, sweet and beautiful smile. Her cheeks flush pink in color and her chocolate brown eyes dance in a strange wonder with a crinkle around them. God! I can finally look at her to my heart's content, without feeling guilty about it. I wanted to do this since so long. Her face, just takes my breath away.

"Is this why you brought me here? To talk about this?" She asks.

My heart does a high jump from the table and falls into the trash can in the corner of the room.

God!

Her mother!

Shit!

What is wrong with you Virat?

Can't you wait for a few days?

I feel pathetic. I am so going to rot in hell. I cup my face in my hands feeling guilty. I just cannot control myself in front of her.

"I think it will be fun. Break up with Maya. I don't want to be the other girl." I hear her say.
