CHAPTER 5
As promised geet was bk in a few minutes.. she d changed into a simple bt pretty baby pink Patiala suit.. tht did bring bk memories of our initial days.. her simplicity was wht attracted me.. nd her beautiful hazel eyes expreseed d deepest n innermost feelings of her heart.. infact I had alwaz prided myself on being able 2 read her eyes.. which spoke volumes abt her heart coz vocally she d nvr manage 2 voice her feelings!!
But tht was b4 evrythng changed.. I wonder whther I read her wrong or tht I nvr really managed it ryt..
Maahi came ovr 2 geet
"maa. Dad n I just made a dream house!!"
" dad.. maan u accepted maahi as ur daughter!!"
"damn it geet.. u know its nt gonna happen.."
"maa did u know dad s architect too n he designed d dome stadium too?"
"yes beta.. he s awesm at his work.. but sweety now go n complete ur homework.. '
"but maa.."
"maahi.. he has cm here 2 talk 2 me.."
"ok.. "
"wud u like sm coffee?" geet s musical voice broke my thots.. her voice was no less seductive.. her voice started his day n her moans ended his nyts..
Stop it maan.. I chided myself.. I was here for a purpose..
"yup.. I cud do wid one n so cud u.. though I must confess.. black coffee n u!!!"
"well.. tastes change wid time.."
"who knows tht better than me.." I added bitterly.. I was supposed 2 b hers 4evr.. bt tht had changed..
Geets silence hurt me despite evrythng.. I still wanted her 2 tell me I was wrong.. bt tht dint happen.. as she walked into d kitchen.. n I followed her
It was deja vu.. it was on days like dese wen geet wud b in d kitchen.. n I d cm fm behind n hug her, kiss her.. n leave d food behind coz we d nvr be able 2 keep our hands off each odr.. n..
My cell buzzed 2 get me out of my trance.. it was sameera.. I walked out n attended d call.. she was angry at me btw en I told her tht I was abt 2 talk 2 geet.. she calmed a bit bt told me 2 hurry up for d dinner
I hv 2 get done wid dis..
She gave me my cup of coffee..n twas perfect as ever.. bt wht caught my eyes was her troubled n stressed out appearance..
"umm.. so hw long have u been waiting?"
"Quite sm tym nw.. rememner we had an appointment at 5"
" we really are strangers.. 2 need appointments" d sarcasm evident in her voice..
I stayed quite.. nt wanting 2 answer tht
"well u know y m here"
"r u planning 2 accept maahi"
"geet.. u know tht aint happening.. infact I want 2 end all dis chaos..
Maahi enterd just in tym " maa will v b havin dinner 2gthr? Hw abt pasta"
"maahi sweety.. we ll talk abt it later.."
" but maa.. "
" just do as ur mom says.." I added not able 2 bear thngs getting outta my ctrl..
" don't u interfere between me n my mom.. u womanizer!!"
"maahi.."
Shocked as I was.. it was geet who scolded maahi..
" apologize ryt nw.. wer r ur manners?"
"no mom.. dts wht everybody at school calls him.. they say he doesn't care for us thts y he has so many girl frdz.."
N den she burst out into tears..
Geet took her to her room to pacify her.. while I walked arnd restlessly in d hall..
Maahi words echoing in my head.. as much as I hated d entire situatn.. I nvr wanted dem hurt!!
Arnd an hr hr later geet walked.. n was surprised 2 c maan still der
