PART- 30

Sam stood outside the party hall dreading to enter the hall knowing she has to face Dev. Sam wondered when had exactly the situation turned so betraying that facing Dev became a task? Yet after Adi's earnest request she had to come for the party. Taking a deep breath Sam entered the hall.

Instead of a typical bachelor's party they had thrown a cocktail party with all the youngsters together in the disco. This disco was quite near to the infamous RK beach. Sam knew RK beach had too many memories for many of them including her. She saw in a far corner Geet was standing seeping through what she thought was coke.

Geet and she had a history. They had always been on a verbal fight. Even after she had repeatedly heard from Dev about how truly innocent Geet was she could not bring herself to be friendly with her. But today on the eve of her departure she felt they could have been good friends. Just then she collided with someone who happened to be Vicky.

Vicky:" Hey!! Sam di!!! I was searching for you!"

Sam:" And, why so chotu?"

Vicky:" I wanted to have a chat with you di. And please don't call me chotu. I am no longer a kid."

The way Vicky pouted at his old name made Samaira chuckle. Vicky had been the youngest of the lot. While Maan and Aditya were of same age, Dev was a year younger and so was Sam. Vicky was just a baby when their mother had left them. Young Vicky who had been rendered almost orphan with the incident used to look expectantly at every face expecting love and warmth.

It was then all of them, Maan, Adi, Dev and her, suddenly became older. They had tried to provide for the missing love of parents to Vicky. Maan was almost a father figure for Vicky. While for all f them he became chotu.

Chuckling at the old memory Samaira said," You will be always Chotu for us Vicky. Even if your hairs grow white still..."

Sensing Sam emotional Vicky asked in a concerned voice," Sam di, what's wrong?"

Sam:" Nothing."

Vicky:" You are lying Sam di. Your eyes tell me otherwise."

Sam:" Vicky, I think I have made some wrong choices in life and those choices will always haunt me."

Vicky knew about all the things going on and just answered in a soft voice," Sam di, you di mistakes and you have learnt from them. I don't think you will be accountable for your mistakes your whole life. Maan bhai had forgiven you. What I have heard of Geet bhabhi I am sure she does not hold any grudge as well."

Sam smiled to find the ease with which Vicky called Geet bhabhi. It felt so right. Sam just sighed and said," They both are really nice and so it is easier for them to forgive others. But I can't forgive myself."

A deep baritone said," One day you will."

Sam turned back to find Maan standing with a soft smile folding his arms. He came near her and said," Sam, I understand it is not easy for you. But at least for Adi try to enjoy yourself."

Sam shook her head in acceptance trying to put on a happy face. She had no courage left to meet Dev but she wanted to see him once before leaving. She was leaving for Delhi next evening and from there she will board her flight to New York.

Geet had seen Maan coming in. He was wering a casual crisp white shirt and blue jeans. He was looking much younger. Geet unwillingly rose from her chair as she walked towards him. She reached almost near when she actually realized what she was doing. Geet was about to turn back an walk away when maan looked up and noticed her.

Maan left Sam and walked up to Geet. Raising his hand in front of her Maan said," May I have this dance my lady?"

Geet smiled a bit and said," A disc is hardly where you can be a gentleman Mr. Khurana."

Maan smirked and pulled Geet to the dance floor. Keeping one hand on her waist Maan caged geet in his arms. Nnoticing her scrunched up nose Maan knew she was angry. Taking his lips almost near to her almost kissing her ears Maan said in a soft murmur," You are right Geetu. Why should I ask permission for taking what had always been mine?"

Even without her permission the heat rose making her cheeks pink.

Geet:" For a man of few words you can be extremely cheesy Mr. Khurana?"

Maan:" From the day you became silent I had to start talking Geetu..."

Melancholia filled the air even with the loud music of the disc. Geet drew herself closer to him seeking comfort and Maan obliged by pulling her more into his arms. Geet looked up to find her emotions mirrored in his eyes. She was in a strange dilemma. She could not forgive him even if she cannot be mad at him knowing his side of the story now.

She asked in a soft voice," Why us Maan? We never had harmed anyone. Then, why us?"

Maan's heart went out for the child woman in his arms. He said in a soft voice," It has nothing to do with our being nice or bad Geetu. It was fate. See the brighter side Geetu. We now know how strong our love is. We can trust each other deeper than ever Geetu."

Geet watched him and said sharply and rebuked," I don't trust you Maan."

Maan said softly," You do Geetu. The fact is you had never stopped trusting me. I know you are hurt and I promise to heal you one day .But that fact had never stopped you from trusting me."

Geet did not know what to do. An overwhelming feeling was consuming her. She gave in to that feeling at last. Maan was never a choice for her but a need. She hugged him close and surrendered herself yet again. Maan's heart was at peace at last. His Geet has decided to become his again. Love has its own strange ways.

Dev had seen Samaira come in. It was much difficult for him to not to run and take her in his arms watching her so broken, so fragile. He stopped himself because this time he wanted her to come on her own. He needed that.

He felt suffocated and decided to leave the disc immediately when he collided with her. Samaira raised her eyes t look into his. She flinched witnessing indifference in the eyes which once held so much love in his eyes.

She watched on as he steadied her taking her fill. Dev went past her not trusting himself and his emotions.

Next day some pre-marriage rituals were going on. In the evening it was supposed to be the Mehendi. Everybody was busy considering the fact that next day was the marriage day. Samaira had completed her packing and was just roaming round trying to blend in. However Geet observed her intently and noticed her being not herself. Her pride was missing and the only thing left was a different Samaira altogether.

Geet was carrying a tray full of flowers and reached near the pillar where Samaira was standing.

Geet:" Hey, Sam, Are you fine?"

Sam:" Yes I am fine."

Geet:" You can tell me the truth Sam. I won't judge you."

Samaira smiled a bit. Geet had not changed after all.

She told her in a subdued tone," I am leaving today Geet."

Geet:" Why? Did you give up so easily?"

Sam:" No Geet. I did not give up on him. In fact it is quite opposite. I am at a juncture when I don't really respect myself. How can I expect Dev to respect me? I know he will but I want him to be proud of who I am the way Maan is proud of who you are. Tell him Geet that I will come back, that I love him too much that it hurts to go away. But I want to be someone he deserves. Please tell him, will you? He will listen only to you."

Geet was overwhelmed with emotions. How desperate she sounded...Geet nodded her head a little and said," Sam, I would say him everything. But he deserves a goodbye."

Sam smiled and said," Geet this is not a goodbye. I can never bid Dev Khanna goodbye. This is just to give us a better beginning."

Geet smiled a bit and said," Okay Sam. Return soon. I will take care of your Dev till then."

Sam smiled and said," Forgive Maan. We both know that you guys complete each other."

Geet smiled a naughty smile and said," Sam, I think I can punish him a bit for these four years."

Sam laughed out loud. She was happy to find the old Geet back. She went away knowing Dev will be fine. Geet will make sure Dev will be fine.
