PART 4
It had been two days; TWO literal days that geet hadn't seen him. Chalo agreed he took it seriously, well that was what she wanted him to do when she said that but atleast he could have come to drop and pick mansi right, itna to he could have done na but nhi sahabjade's ego was hurt and now she was dreading whatever she said.
But its also good that he let her alone now, if initially its so painful then in future, if something like this happened, she wouldn't have been able to take that pity or sympathy for her that would have been in his eyes.
Geet was sitting on her bed resting her back on headboard, like every day she was in a long skirt and a loose kurti. Her dii came in her room with a plate filled with food. She came and sat beside geet but geet was still lost looking at nothing in particular.
Geet, her sister patted her shoulder to break her reverie. "kha khoyi hui thi geet" said suhana, geet's elder sister. "woo dii... wo kuch nhi hua" . "geet it had been two days since you are behaving like this. Kya hua hai tujhe mujhe to kuch samajh hi nhi ata" "diii everything is ok, aap itna pareshan mat hoeye"
Suhana looked at geet tensed. She knew something is wrong with geet, especially since last two days. She had noticed geet's unusual happiness from the time she joined that art classes and then that friend with whom she introduced other day, it was also a unique sight for her. It had been long time from when she noticed geet with any friend; actually she never had any friend since her childhood. Her self-consciousness was so strong that she never let anyone close to her.
She took a spoon of rice and fed geet who initially refused but then agreed. Geet was just chewing her food when suddenly suhana threw that master bomb, "geet wo tera friend, ha kya naam tha, ha maan, kaisa hai" geet immediately started coughing and looked at suhana startled while suhana made her drink water.
"maan... wo maan" geet stuttered. "geet you never told us about maan before, kab hui tumhari dosti" geet just got quiet. How could she tell anything to suhana when she herself don't know anything?? Dosti, she doesn't even know how to be someone's friend then how is it possible that he out of all people will like to be her friend.
"wo mera dost nhi, he is just my student's guardian" geet said after a while.
"accha I never knew geet handa had guts to sit with some student's guardian in a restaurant and have chit-chat for an hour" geet immediately got conscious and start looking here and there. Suhana could feel the confusion in geet's heart and said, "geet you know he looked genuine. I hadn't talked much with him to know about him completely but still I want you to give him a try. Did he know about your..." Suhana said and then stopped as see saw the film of tears in geet's eyes.
"Geet" suhana called as she wiped away the tears and hugged her sister. "mujhe nhi pata dii... But shayad he doesn't know tabhi to he was their with me warna wo bhi bakiyo ki tarah..."
"Geet why you always think negative? Why you pity yourself so much? Baby you are like all us; just because of these you aren't any different. How many times I have to explain you?" but geet just turned away not at all listening to suhana, after all she had grown up with this self-pity. Suhana just looked at her sister in tears and left.
It had been a week and geet still couldn't let go of the pain of not seeing him, not feeling his eyes on her. She would reach park an hour earlier from her usual time in hope that may be once he would come there, to drop mansi or would just past by... but everyday her hope would crash. Though from outside she portrayed unaffected but only she knew how her heart burned everyday.
Today again that long sleek black car stopped in front of park gates and her eyes were automatically fixed on the doors as they opened hoping may be today would be her lucky day, and it really was when she saw those same pairs of sports shoes step out. Her eyes immediately followed up those sleek legs till his waist and up his taught chest until she caught the sight of those light stubble and that curved lips, and suddenly her eyes rested on his whose were actually looking in her eyes.
She immediately got conscious and looked hoping he didn't saw her looking at him with so much excitement, but how can she calm her fast racing heart when she knew that he came, he came today may be only for dropping mansi but he came and she caught his view after so many days, hours and seconds.
She clutched her skirt as her eyes again moved toward him... she saw him from the corner of her eyes bending down to kiss mansi on the cheek and then after ensuring that she reached to them, he turned away.
She lifted her hand to stop him, to say she doesn't want him to go but then stopped in mid realizing the guardian teacher relationship they had. But her heart missed a beat when she saw him turning around and looking at her and then him leaning back on the same tree where he used too earlier.
She immediately looked away smiling, he is waiting like always... wo wapas aa gye, yani unhone meri baat ka bura nhi mana.. phir gye hi kyu the... she twisted her lips. She felt so timid to even look in his direction, whole time her eyes were hooded, trying hard to not glance at him. But she could still tell very well that whole time his eyes were fixed on her... Not once he looked away.
When the class ended, students started going away. She saw him picking up mansi too when she ran in his direction and then he started moving away toward his car. Her face fell seeing him go away without a word, she just looked away not able to see this ignorance form him.
She was sitting there itself when suddenly she felt some presence beside her. She looked at the direction only to see him sitting there with that usual charming smile of his. She waited for him to say something but he didn't. she thought to go away but then he suddenly said, "I missed you these days"
Her body stilled hearing that as she glanced in his direction. His eyes were fixed on her as he spoke, "did you missed me??? If not atleast ek baar khyal to aya hoga na" she didn't said anything just kept looking at him as he spoke.
"I know I know you want us to behave formally, but I can't!!! aur mujhe nhi fark parta what you think of me!!! Kutta kamina awara jo samajhna hai samjho main nhi jane wala bas!!!" he said crossing his hand on his knees.
"to gye kyu the itne din" she said instantly hearing him but then immediately bit her tongue as she realized what she said. She cursed herself for being a duffer and then glanced at him who was looking at her with that teasing smile of his. Her face immediately turned pink and she looked away from him.
"gya nhi tha, jana pada tha. There was this urgent meeting in London for which I had to leave the very night itself. And you hadn't given me your number yet so kaise btata tumhe. Meri galti nhi tumhari hai... you know how much I wanted to talk to you then par phir!!!" He took a long sigh looking away.
"mujhe kuch nhi janna, you are just telling unnecessarily" she said giving him a ignoring look.
"ye to aur bhi acchi baat hai, waise bhi maan never explains himself samjhi" he said pointing his finger to her and then winked making her gasp.
"Chalo am going, mansi is waiting!!! To phir kal yhi pe milte hai... And am not asking, I am telling" he said and walked away while she sat rooted on her place shocked with his audacity. He walked his carefree stance and then turned back to look to see her still sitting where she was!!!
