OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Part 16

Aryan called geet and whispered in her ears. Didi Aarav has broken a vase in the store room. It seems expensive. Can you quietly come with us?

I will clean it later.

What if someone sees it didi. Come with me once. Your tayyiji will scold us. Aryan insisted and Geet followed him.

Aarav was watching them from the first floor. He quickly went to Maan and said. Come with me quickly. We have arranged everything.

He took him to the terrace where there was a huge store room at a corner.

Where are you taking me? Maan asked inquisitively. How did you manage so fast?

Dnt ask just go there. Didi will come in a minute. We will lock the door from outside so that no one thinks you are there. When you want call me to open the door. Aarav instructed Maan.

Ok. Maan entered the room.

Didi jijaji wants to talk to you, so we brought you here. Aarav told Geet as she entered the room. Bye. Be quick. The boy said and immediately latched the room.

Geet I want to talk to you. Maan told Geet who was staring at something behind him in the dingy cold room which had very dim light. Geet will you look at me. Dnt be flabbergasted as you have seen a monster.

Geet glared at him.

Geet keep your drama for later. He turned to look at what she was looking. He rubbed his forehead. The boys had spread a mattress on the floor and a neat sheet over it. He was as shocked as Geet was.

What did you tell them?

He combed his hair. I told them I want to talk with you.

Thats it? She crossed her hands over her chest.

Alone. He added. Geet you told me you wont go home. He tried to come to the point.

I am at my home. Geet was still looking at the makeshift bed.

Geet. Dnt exaggerate. You know what I am telling you.

His phone beeped. He checked the message.

Your Sasu ma is coming. Hide and keep phone on silent.

It was a message from Aarav.

What is it? Geet asked.

Your mother is coming.

Babaji. Save me. Geet panicked.

What is the big deal? She is your mother. Maan was relaxed.

Yes. You me and this bed in this secluded store room. What are we doing? Geet mocked with her hands on her waist. She quickly looked around. Come with me. She took him by his hand to the back of the room where a huge almirah was kept. Geet tried to shift it.

What are you doing?

Shift it fast.

Why? He asked as he pushed the almirah away from the wall. By the time he had just shifted one side the latch was being opened.

Hide behind it. Quick. Geet pushed him.

He went in the space behind the almirah followed by Geet.

I have never done this. We can explain it to her. He tried to move a little more to adjust her.

She squeezed herself into the little space left. She tried to avoid touching him but it was very difficult to stand without touching each other. Maan gestured her to move a little more as her shoulder was still visible. She didnt understand and asked by raising her brows as What?
