They had met six months back on a flight; he did not notice or hear her he was lost in his thoughts. She touched his arm; the contact brought him out of his reverie. He looked at her, she was beautiful no not really beautiful but she had some alluring quality about her face, very captivating. He decided he liked her so didn’t mind answering her.
He told her his destination was Mumbai, she said, she was heading to Mumbai too. They started chatting; she had this amazing capacity to talk non stop and that too about stuff that made sense to him, his attraction only grew. Once in Mumbai they decided to stay in touch and then went off their own way. Next day he got a call, it was Geeta the same girl he had met yesterday. Talking to her made him happy.
Phone calls became regular, then the meetings and before he could realize he was in love with her. She reciprocated; he couldn’t believe his good fortune. Things continued on the same note, both in love and happy to be together. Last week he had to go on a business trip, Geeta was not very happy about it he thought she really loved him and the thought made him very happy.
He came back today and called her the first thing, a male voice on the other end.
Him : May I speak with Geeta?
Other Person : She has forgotten her cell phone at home.
Him : Who’s on the line?
Other Person : This is Dinesh, Geeta’s husband. May I know who’s on the line?
Him : Geeta never mentioned you before.
Other Person : Oh I was abroad for the last 6 months. May I get your name and message?

He is standing by the window; Bhupinder’s soothing voice is wafting towards him from the Tea stall across the road. He is able to hear these words, “Tere jahan mein...aisa nahin ki pyar na ho....jahaan umeed ho iski....wahan nahin milta.....”
He smiled and closed the window.

Vicky - According to me the story isn't sad, when I wrote that I was definitely not sad, I just created a situation to befit that song.
As for the gold, please mujhe kuch dino ki mauhlat de do, main kisi bhi tarah gold ka intezaam kar loongi
Dreams - Yes I give gold to second no. too. I will have to come to Dubai to make all this gold.
Me - Ek toh no relevant comment and then u want gold. acha ya bura kuch toh likhna tha.

Hey.. you are most welcome.. :) dubai is a city of gold.. and treats most people real good..
nice story........ short and sweet..... though i'd like to know why Geeta reciprocated? or is it that it was only his imagination???
Thats dirty pool!! Wish there was a line of control....from which we could come back if the other person turned out to be the 'not so right' one.....its kinda hard to come back once you hv crossed the line.....and even if you manage the journey back....the memories haunt you forever.....
