LAST PART-31

Dev was searching for Samaira everywhere. She was nowhere to be found. It was so much easier to pretend not to care but she had been missing from morning. It was Adi bhai's marriage day. Where would she be gone anyways? He was getting worried by seconds.

Geet had seen Dev roaming around restlessly. She knew the reason behind it but the fact still remains that she has to convey things to Dev and it will be absolute heart breaking for him

Geet:" Dev!!!"

Dev:" Hi Geetu!!! Have you seen Samaira anywhere? She is missing for quite some time...No, no don't think I care about her anymore. It is just that she seemed little different yesterday and..."

Geet could feel trying to justify his care as just a normal act out of concern. Her heart went out for him.

Geet:" Dev, she is gone."

Dev:" Gone? Where the hell did she go? How can she just go?"

Geet:" She went away back to Delhi. Most probably she is on her way to US now. She is joining some university there for her masters. "

The crestfallen look in Dev's face pinched something deep in Geet's heart. She kept her hand on his shoulder and asked him in a soft voice," Are you okay Dev?"

Dev looked up and his eyes were red with a defeated look and said," How can she do this to me? How can she just leave me and go? How come I did not get a chance to say a good bye as well?"

Geet knew his pain and said softly," Bhai, she is not wrong you know. You remember how I and Maan fell in love. It was just us. Our love, our separation and present, it had always been just us. You didn't ever have a proper beginning bhai. It's high time you guys start afresh, just as Dev and Samaira, not someone's brother and definitely not as someone's fiance."

Dev smiled a sad smile and kept his hands on her cheeks caressing her and said," Stay like this geetu. You are perfect as you are."

Dev left. Geet hoped he will be able to control over his emotions and start everything fresh with Samaira. Maan was watching his Geetu, She was wearing a beautiful Saari today It was enhancing her beauty. Her thick manes were creating havoc to his senses.

Maan slowly approached Geet. Geet turned back only to find Maan coming towards her. His pace was that of a predator and he had locked Geet at her place with his passionate gaze. He plastered Geet's back to the wall and kept his hand on her bare waist. Geet tucked in her belly with the intake of breath as she felt his touch.

Maan smiled softly as he caressed her face with his other hand. He settled a loose tendril behind her ears. Taking little kajal from her eyes he put a small tika behind her ear and whispered softly," You are looking absolutely stunning Geetu. "

Geet looked down bushing. Maan placed a soft kiss on her forehead and left the place. He wanted Geet to accept him completely as her. He wanted them to forget their past and start again. But for now his best friend was taking an important step and he wanted to be with him.

Geet brought Pinky down when Panditji asked for the dulhan. Pinky was looking very beautiful. Adi was looking at her without bothering about anyone. Maan bend and whispered in his ears," Dude!! Control yourself. She is all yours."

Adi looked away smiling sheepishly. After settling pinky beside Adi Geet stood exact opposite of Maan. While they were taking pheras Geet knew what she had to do. She had decided on this last night itself.

Once the marriage was completed the girls' gang had fun over the stealing of shoes and getting hefty cash from Adi. Maan and his family will also leave with Adi and pinky. Everybody was ready but Maan wanted to meet Geet once before leaving. He took Dev aside and told him about his wish.

Maan searched Geet everywhere but she was nowhere. By now everyone from Geet's gang was there searching for her. Maan went to Pinky's house hoping to find Geet there. Everybody followed him. Once they were at pinky's place they shouted her name. But no answer came. Maan was getting worried every minute and reached her room. He found that her luggage was gone. He was about to leave the room dejected when a letter caught his attention. The letter was for him.

Dear Maan,

I know by now you might be going crazy searching me. Don't worry, am absolutely fine. I will not lie to you saying I am not mad at you. But Maan I never stopped loving you. All these years it had always been you. So today I wish for us to have a new beginning Maan. I want to start again but from there where it had started last time. I will be there tomorrow exactly same time, same place. If you come we will have a new beginning else I will understand."

Geet

By now everyone from Gang had arrived and was trying to guess the consequences. Unable to keep his worried heart at check Dev finally asked," Bro where is Geetu?"

Maan silently handed Dev the letter. Dev quickly read the few lines and said," Where you guys started last time!!!! "

Pinky chirped and said," Must be our college. You met there right Maan Veerji?"

Dev:" No Pinky, Bro and Geetu knew each other from two years before you guys started college. Got it bro, it has to be big bazaar. You guys met there."

Maan:" We met there but we did not start our journey from there Dev."

Yash:" Dude, is it the RK Beach? I mean you guys visited there frequently!!!"

Dev:" Yes bro. After all Geetu told you about her feelings at RK beach. It has to be RK beach."

Maan smiled and said," It is a place close to our hearts and only now I know why Geetu wants me to meet there? She has kept this last test to see if we still connect. You guys try figuring out while I start my journey. Dev, Vicky, I am going to bring your Bhabhi back with me this time."

While Maan was going out everybody cheered hearing the conviction of his voice. Vicky and Dev were the loudest among all. Meera shouted," Great going MK!!!!"

Maan left straight for the airport after changing into a casual white shirt and blue faded jeans. It was Geet's favourite attire on him. He went to airport only to secure a seat for the last flight to Kolkata. He was too excited and decided to wait at the airport itself.

Maan's flight was at late night. ( guys I have no idea if there is a flight late night from vizag to Kolkata but I had taken this liberty). He was full awake for the one hour flight. Once the flight landed he waited impatiently for all the formalities to end. He took a taxi paying almost triple to reach the place from where he can get a ferry to belur. It was again an early morning, almost dark, when he was visiting belur for the second time.

But this visit was different. Last time he was a man with no life. He was just living to fulfil other's expectation for him. This time however he was going to belur to get his life back, his love back.

The fifteen minutes boat ride seemed like an eternity to him. Once he reached he wished to run exactly to the spot where he had found her last time. However this time he wanted to take the blessings of almighty before meeting her.

He slowly stepped towards the bank of ganges. The dawn was slowly setting in and he could see her there. She was standing leaning on a banyan tree looking at the flowing river. She was wearing a typical white saari with red border. He softly stood beside her and said," Watching you wear this traditional Bengali saari no one can tell you are a Punjabi."

Geet was startled at his sudden voice and looked up to find a deep chocolate brown eyes was staring at her with all the love of this world. She said softly," I have stayed in Bengal since my birth so I picked up from their culture."

After a slight pause Geet said again," So figured it out."

Maan:" How can I not figure it out Geetu? It was here you and I figured out that the connection we always had was much deeper than infatuation. We started our journey here Geetu. I can never forget anything related to us ever."

Geet:" Maan, I forgive you. And I want us to start afresh forgetting all the traces of past."

Maan:" No geetu. I can't forget a bit of our past. It was our past that made us who we are today. I cannot part with a single memory of us."

Geet was overwhelmed with his love and slowly said," At least forget the harsh ones..."

Maan replied full of conviction," Geetu, I don't want to forget them especially. So that I can always remind myself that how brutally I had hurt the one I love the most in world. I am sorry Geetu, I truly am sorry for making you believe something which I can never ever think even in my worst nightmare."

Geet looked up to find tears flowing from his eyes as he remembered his own behaviour. Geet slowly wiped away his tears and said," Dare you make my Maan cry. I will never forgive you then. My Maan is the best. He can never be wrong, got it?"

Maan nodded his head smiling slightly.

Dev on the other hand accompanied everyone to Delhi. Once he was at Delhi he visited Mr. Roy. Once he got complete information of Samaira's whereabouts he made arrangement of his departure. Thankfully he still had his valid visa making it faster for him to reach her.

Samaira came out of her university. It was her first day and she was already missing Dev soo much. How will she ever stay away from him for next two years? She avoided her newly found friend's offer to go and party. She was sick of all the parties.

Slowly she made her way to the coffee shop which was almost empty. She took a corner table and sat down ordering for a cappuccino. She took out her cell and looked at a picture of Dev she had clicked unknown to him. She was too engrossed in the picture when a deep husky voice said," Sam, you can actually look at me instead of staring at my snap. By the way, when did you click that? I don't remember posing for that one!!!"

Sam looked up to find Dev Khanna sitting opposite to her with his ever smiling face amused at her reaction. She thought him to be a figment of her imagination. She raised her hand to touch him and verify. But she stopped midway. Dev said in an amused tone," What happened Sam? "

Sam:" You will vanish once I touch you. You are just my imagination. Dev is too mad at me. He said he hates me. He won't come here to meet me really."

Dev flinched realizing his one sentence said at the heat of moment had hurt her deeply. He said softly," I am here Sam. You can touch and see. I won't ever go away."

Sam touched him slightly and then started caressing and said in a soft tone," You came."

Dev smiled and held her palm. He for the first time did not feel like restricting his love and kissed her knuckles reverently saying," I had to Miss Samaira Roy. Four years were enough for me to realize I can never live without you. I cannot wait for another two years for you to realize the same."

Samaira broke down crying. Where can he find such a big heart to love her still and most importantly forgive her? Does she even deserve him?

She stood up and he stood up as well. He slowly brought her near and asked," Sam, you remember what I had told you when you said about what I will do if I ever find you wronging me?"

Sam nodded. Dev continued," Do you remember what I had replied. I had told you I will always find my way to you. "

Sam could not bear anymore. His hatred was better than his love. She hugged him tightly and said," I am so sorry Dev. I never wanted to do all that. Trust me, I never wanted Maan or even Geet hurt. I just thought they will forget. I was blind with my obsession for Maan. But trust me Dev, I am not that bad."

Dev smiled softly and said," No Sam, You are not bad. It takes a lot of courage to accept your mistake. The way you said everything to geetu, I am proud of you Sam. If you were one of the reasons they got separated then you are also one of the reasons they will be together again."

Maan and Geet had told her that she was not bad. But as if to listen his verdict purified her soul even as tears flowed from eyes." Oh!! Dev!! I love you Dev! I did not realize it then but when you turned your back to me I understood my own heart. It's strange but your hatred made me realize how I much I love you."

Dev closed his eyes as he let himself feel the feeling of being loved. This was for the first time she uttered those words. He hugged her closer and said," Oh Samaira, I had been waiting for years for you to realize this. You fool, you thought I hate you. Those were just words duffer. The truth is I can never hate you. I love you even when I hate you."

He raised her chin a little and for the first time planted a kiss on her lips depicting how much he loves her. Soon she started responding to his kiss finally letting him in. She raised her hand putting it around his neck bringing him closer as if she could not get enough of him. Once they both were breathless dev left her kissing her forehead and said," I am staying here as well looking after the overseas business. I can't stay away from you and I guess from the kiss you can't either."

Sam hit him with her hand even as a beautiful blush crept on her cheeks. She hugged him tighter hiding herself from him and the world. Dev whispered into her ears," Miss Samaira Roy, we never had a proper beginning. It was always something or other in between us. Here, away from our duties and responsibilities let's give some time to us. What say, Miss Samaira Roy, will you date me Dev, your best friend and eternal love?"

Sam looked up. Her visions have cleared now and she could find only herself in his eyes. She said in a soft voice," Yes Mr Dev Khanna, I will love to date you."

They hugged each other as Dev looked up to thank the almighty. His love was no longer unrequited. They finally had started their journey.

******

Once geet realized how she had said 'my maan' she dipped her head blushing hard. Maan raised her chin up making her look back into his eyes and said," I have stayed without looking into this face for four long years. Don't hide anymore Geetu."

The dawn had slowly set in bringing a new morning for them. The sight orange colour had filled taking away the darkness of the night just like love had robbed away the loneliness from their lives. Geet said softly," I always knew somewhere you can never be wrong. But I could not believe it. But now that I know everything I don't hold any grudges. You were right; I never stopped trusting you because my heart always knew that you had reasons. But Maan, I have been waiting for you to bare your heart out. I have always read those words in your eyes, in your silence. Today I want you to break this silence for me. Will you?"

How could Maan say no when she had for the first time ever asked something from him. He bent his knees down in front of her and said in a soft voice full of love," Geetu, years ago I had by mistake dashed with a young girl making her drop her ice-cream. She with her glares and cute anger stirred something deep within me. I had the most amazing train ride with her. Then I met her here and I realized somewhere I had lost my heart to her. I had hurt her, left her alone, insulted her but her love had not faltered for me. I find myself the luckiest soul to be the owner of her heart. That amazing sweet, innocent yet matured person is you Geetu and I am honoured to be your love. I never said I love you to you because I felt these three words were so inadequate to express what I feel for you. You made me live again, dream again. My every dream consists of you. Will you, miss Geet Handa, forgive me for all my mistakes and marry me making me the happiest man in the world?"

Geet had started tearing up listening to him. The words were cheesy but then it was true. This man had rendered himself so vulnerable opening up in front of her. She slowly sat down on the grass and hugged him tightly while whispering," Yes Mr. Maan Singh Khurana, I will love to be Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana. I love you, more than I can express."

Maan hugged her closer to his heart and whispered back," I love you too Geetu, much more than you can ever imagine."

A new morning had set in as they witnessed it together. They finally had their new beginning full of hope and love. It's truly said, love conquers everything only if you have the perseverance and belief to wait for it.

This was the last part of silence. I will give an epilogue to tie some loose ends but I could not think of another ending. Thank you everyone for your love and support. I cannot reply to each of your comments but I have read them and they are very special to me. One last request, please please comment for this part as I want to know the reaction of each one of you.
