Part 48

Geet put down the diary and looked at maan who was sitting with his head in his hands. She got up and sat beside him. She did not know what to say. She was very sad by what happened to Sam and she could understand that for maan it would be lot more worse as she was his best friend. She put her hand on his shoulder but said nothing. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Maan didn't raise his head but he entwined his fingers with hers. Both were quiet. Geet thinking how was it possible for two people to love each other so much and then, hurt? In all the diary the intensity, the unequivocal love of shuriya for sameera was visible but when she really needed that love and its support, shuriya was not there. She looked at maan. He had very rarily told her that he loved her but whenever she really needed him, he was always there. No matter how severe the fight, deep inside she always knew that he will be there if she needed him. Trust, she thought that was needed for a solid foundation of a relationship. Shuriya was never able to trust sameera, his own insecurity had lead to his down fall.

She knew that maan was different from shuriya, maan was sure of his own love, he would never think that geet could betray him even if she said it with her own lips. It was not because he loved geet too much but because he trusted her on a much basic fundamental level. She thought about sam saying ''I love you more'' to shuriya and then, remembered that was what maan always said to her.

It kind of fit, both sam and maan were very much alike in personalities, they never showed their love openly or show cased it for others but both were very sincere to any commitment they made. And they could give their life for it but if someone questioned there commitment, that was one thing they will never forgive.

She herself felt many insecurities about maan but knowing him so much, trusting him so much, always gave her the courage to ask him whenever those insecurities became too much.

It didn't weakened their relationship, this very different personalities maan and geet herself possessed but it strengthened because where maan became weak, she was strong and where she was weak, he was their to hold her. This was what partners were suppose to be like.

But she suddenly thought those insecurities were present because when you loved someone so much that he became the reason for your living then, you are afraid that you might lose him. Sometime when you get everything you ever wanted in world, no.. what you most want in the world, deep inside you there is always a nagging fear that you will lose it all. May be thats what happened to shuriya.

She looked at maan's face and thought that this face was one which she could recognize in millions not because that it was so beautiful that it made any woman's heart skip a beat on seeing it but because it was the Maan's face which made her heart beat.

It was difficult almost impossible to think that sam never wanted maan for herself but after reading her diary this far, she recognized that after loving shuriya so much, she will never be able to love some one else that way like geet could never put anyone in the place of maan.

But maan and sameera were once lover, he had told her. If sam loved shuriya so much then why she let maan...????

Maan thought about all his friend has faced just because of him. Sameera had never said anything about it ever to him. Shuriya had been very possessive of sam and maan had noticed it but he never told sam that, may be if he had warned her, stopped her from falling for this guy all this would never have happened. Wasn't that what friends were suppose to do? Warn your friends from such mishaps but he had backed away giving them more time together.

Maan suddenly wondered about the times , he had talked to sam on phone, the times they had met alone away from shuriya because maan had been reluctant to be with shuriya who never liked his presence. Did shuriya know about that? Did he twisted everything innocent into something more cheap.

Rage was slowly building inside maan, he had always ignored shuriya because of sam but after knowing what he did to his best friend, he would not listen to sam any longer. He will make shuriya pay for all his crimes.
