CHAPTER 28 - THE ARRIVAL OF PAST

मैं तुम्हारे लिए क्या हूं मुझे पता नही

लेकिन मेरे लिए कमाल हो तुम,

रातों की तन्हाइयों में भी जिसे सोचकर मुस्कुरा दूं

वो खूबसूरत ख्याल हो तुम।

After few weeks

~•GEET's POV•~

At Udaipur

"Geet uth jaa, pata nahi kya ho gaya isko?" Mumma tried  waking me up but I snuggled more and more inside of the blanket. It has been more than a week since we came here on our vacation.

(Wakeup Geet, I don't know what happened to her?)

"Tabiyat sahi nahi hai sone do" I said, refusing to come out of the bed.

(I am not well please let me sleep)

"Tuje bukhar ho rakha hai. Uth, nashta kar aur doctor ke pass chal. Bimar ho rakhi hai." Mumma ordered, removing the blanket from my face.

(You have a fever.  Get up. Have your breakfast and then we are going to doctor)

I have been sick for the past two days. You know the reason very well, whenever I stress out about anything  I end up getting a fever. I got this issue due to the trauma given by my honorable nanisa.

"Aap jao. Mai aai" I informed and she went outside of the room. I woke up and looked at my phone only to find out his messages which he had sent me in the last two days. 40 messages and 29 calls. I replied to him that I will get back to him once I find myself free time.

(You please leave, I will join)

I know I lied but I don't have any other option to avoid him otherwise he will stress out.  27 months of our LDC!!  I miss him but there is no chance of meeting us this time as well.

I went outside of my room and had my breakfast. My parents asked me to get myself checked by a doctor. I wish I could tell them the real reason . The sudden rainy season in Udaipur is making my condition worse. I hate rain. No matter how much I try myself to face my past it's not possible for me to do it.

I came back to my room and laid down only  to be welcomed by his text which was displayed on my notification.

"Rainbow, is everything okay? Are you well? Is there anything please tell me?  Have I hurt you? At Least talk to me once! If you say can I come to meet you at your home with an excuse!! Tell me something!!!"

I couldn't stop myself from crying seeing him worry and the reason is me. Geet, you can't hurt him in future. Tell him the truth, you have to open your mouth and hurt him in order to make him leave you.

Do you really think you will be able to do this? I don't know what I should do.  My past is making my condition terrible as each day passes. You have completely spoiled your life and you are on your way to spoil his life as well.

Why is it raining outside? Why can't it stop?  I just hate it!  I closed the window and laid on my bed to sleep. This is the only way to avoid overthinking.  Geet, stop crying. You will be. Alright.  You have been there for yourself for 12 years. You can do it. Don't cry. Sleep. Nothing will happen to you.

It's not your fault. Not yours. Please.  Stop crying. You are strong.  Take a deep breath. It was not your fault.

~• Dhruv's POV•~

Evening time

At Sirohi

I know she is hiding something from me. I can feel she is not well. She is suffering. What should I do?  It will take around 2 to 3 hours to travel from Sirohi to Udaipur.

Should I go or not? If I go to her place, her parents may wonder what made me visit their place.  I don't know what to do at this moment.  Garv is in Sanchore. Should I ask him to come here? No, I can't call him every time.

I heard a knock on my door and my thoughts vanished. "Dhruv, come and have your dinner", I heard my sister's voice. She got engaged last week, not to Virendra.

"Yeah, coming." I replied, switching off the lights in my room.

"Well Dhruv,  can I ask you something? " She asked me while I was heading towards the stairs.

"Yes jija, what do you want to ask? " I said, looking at her.

"Is that girl Geetanjali? "

Hearing this, I stopped and didn't even look at her. I took a gulp and closed my eyes.

"You aren't saying anything that means it's  her!" She questioned and I  tried avoiding looking at her.  I took a step but she stopped pulling my collar from behind.

"I want to eat. I am hungry!" Saying this, I speeded my steps and sat on the dining table.

I tried avoiding looking at my sister and she was grinning looking at me. I know she got to know what my unanswered face meant.

"Acha mumma, Geetanjali kesi lagi aapko? " She asked mumma, but her eyes were on me.

(Did you like Geetanjali?)

I looked at my plate . I started tapping my right foot as I  was nervous to know what my mumma thinks about her.

"She is good actually. But kyu Shivu? "Mumma asked, thinning her eyebrows, I told you teachers can sense what we try to hide.

(But why shivu?)

"Agar aapki woh bahu bane aapko problem hai kya? I mean she is so good. She will start working as an Investment banker from next month" Shivu jija replied, with a smile on her face.

(Do you have a problem if she becomes your daughter in law?)

" Still I won't prefer her because Dhruv se badi hai. Mujhe nahi pata par mujhe apne bete se badi nhi chaiye. "

(I don't know but I don't want any girl who is elder than my son)

"1 saal hi badi hai. Konsa 10 years hai? Aur academically we are the same" I replied leaving everyone in a state of confusion.

(It's just 1 year. Not 10 years)

"Dhruv kya Samju mai iska. Tum geetanjali ke sath ho? Do you know her? Answer my questions?"  Mumma grew furious hearing my words.

(What should I consider this? Are you with Geetanjali?)

Dhruv,  what is this? You made it worse. Can't you just shut up and sit down silently . Wish I could rewind and glued my mouth before announcing this.

"Answer Dhruv" My Bhabosa joined her.

"Jesa aap soch rahe ho Wesa kuch nahi hai. One sided hai. I like her.  And I do… …." I started saying whatever came into my mouth.

(There is nothing that you are thinking. It's one sided)

I lied because I can't reveal to them that I have known her for three years, otherwise it might turn out to be an issue which I really don't want at this moment.

"I do kyaa? "

"I do want to marry her. Age is just a number. 1 year se farak nahi padta. Meri nazar se dekho pata chalega ki wesi nahi hai. Avantika ko pasand karte ho aap Mumma, but I can't share my life with a person jise dil hi na mila ho. Mere mann mai ye baat kahi dino se thi par himmat nahi thi ki bol Saku. I love Geetanjali and future mai woh nahi toh mujse kisi aur ko dekha nahi jaega uski jagah" I announced and left the dining table.

(I do want to marry her. Age is just  a number. One year doesn't make any difference . You will get to know her if you know her from my point of view . You may like Avantika, but I can't share my life with a person without any feelings in my heart. I had this in my heart for so long but I couldn't gather the courage to speak up. I love Geetanjali and I won't able to see anyone else in future except her)

"4 din mai bhoot utar jayega uska"Mumma  murmured.

(You will forget her in few days)

"Avantika pasand hai aapko par Woh nahi kyu. Bhale aap zidd ke chalte Avantika ko laao apni bahu ke liye, par uski zindagi kharab hogi aur meri bhi.  I know Avantika achchi hai par mere liye Geetanjali hi sahi"  I headed towards my room and closed the door.

(You like Avantika but not her, why? For your ego, you can make Avantika as your daughter in law, eventually her life would spoil as well as mine. I know Avantika is good but Geetanjali is the one for me)

I checked the time and it was 9.30pm. I checked outside of the window only to find the arrival of rain due to the gloomy sky filled with black clouds.

I called her again but there was no sign . I called her once again and texted her to talk to me atleast once.

I changed myself into comfortable clothes. I switched off my room light and sat on my bed.

I stared at my phone screen with an expectation to see her name on my phone screen.

I opened the chat and started typing whatever was going on my mind

"Hi Rainbow.  Where are you from the past few days?  There is no need to call me for hours. At Least talk to me for 10 minutes . I am really worried . This is my last time requesting you to answer my call, otherwise I am coming to Udaipur tomorrow and you have to answer my questions."

I threw my phone on my bed and sat looking at the wall without any pause. I know she is hiding something. What can it be?

Suddenly I heard my phone ringing and my eyes turned to check who was calling me.

"Rainbow"

Her name was enough to make me smile and I answered without delaying a second.

"Hello How are you? You have no idea how much I missed you and your voice "

"Hi Book Magnet" She answered, but I can't say she is not well.

"Are you fine?Why does your voice seem so low? Is everything okay ?" I started asking one by one as I controlled my feelings after hearing her.

"Yeah. Actually I need to sleep. Can I talk to you tomorrow?"

I know she is hiding something. I know she won't let anyone know what's going on in her mind.

"Then why did you call me if you had plans to sleep? " I spoke.

"Please, I am not well. I saw your text and I thought…." She suddenly stopped speaking.

"You thought what and what happened to you? Did you stress out something? Wait,  Is it raining there? " I asked to confirm.

"Nothing. Can I talk to you tomorrow? And yeah Avantika didn't clear her entrance. So I am not able to speak much"

I know she was lying. When she doesn't want to share anything, she will talk about everything apart from what she should be talking about.

"Geetanjali Don't lie. I know you very well. Tell me what's going on. Don't say a rishta knocked your door and you want me to hurt so I can leave you! "I asked to know the reason.

"I said na, all is well. Please I request you to leave me alone" She answered and I couldn't control myself from knowing.

"You have been ignoring me for the past two to three days. Leave that. You told me once that you can't wait to share your life with me, including our joy and problems. Am I really a fool who has been asking you again and again for the past three days? You didn't even answer my texts, calls and now you are ignoring my questions intentionally?" I questioned firmly in order to clear it.

"Dhruv please don't make yourself fall into this trouble. And if possible please forget me. You won't accept me if I told you what exactly happened to me!! Aap mujhe chod doge jab kuch jaanne ke baad. Keh rahi hu na jao mere life se. Khush  raho na kyu dukh dene ke liye mere paas aaye ho"

(You will leave me once you will find out what has happened to me.  I am telling you to just get out of my life. Stay happy and why are you spoiling your life )

"Agar mai kahu ki mai nahi chodunga sab kuch jaanne ke baad toh bhi nahi bataoge?pyaar kiya hai majak nahi ki problem mai chod dunga. Batao meri kasam hai. Aaj bata do muje ki kya chupa rahe ho mujse. "  I assured but my heartbeat was racing to know her hidden secret.

(If I say I won't leave you even after knowing everything, will you still hide it? It's love, not a joke that I will run away pushing you in the problem. You have to tell me today what are you hiding from me)
