Chapter 39

                                                                                Part- 38

Geet is scared of this new Maan...

Though she wished that Maan came out of his shell andreturned to his normal life she didn't think that she would be a part of hislife...

She just wanted to help dadi as dadi has saved her life,took care of her and instilled the confidence in her to face life withoutfear...

She is here as a refugee, since she is still young andstudying she is still dependent and she needs someone to support her till shestarts looking after herself...that support which her family failed to give heris being given to her by Dadima and to some extent by Maan, indirectly...

He is the reason she is here with them, how could she forgetthe day when he came into her life as a savior and tied the knot with her tosave her life fron her illfate, had Maan walked away that day leaving her tomarry that old man Geet wouldn't have survived at all...

She can't imagine what would have happened to her had he notmarried her and took her with him...

It was a tough decision for both of them to agree for thatunexpected marriage, as for Geet it was an escaoe route, but for Maan it wassomething very wrong and even if Geet was old enough for marriage Maan was deadagainst marriage and never wanted anyone in his life...

Maan's hatred towards marriage and his reluctance to getmarried gave Geet the confidence to go ahead with that marriage as she thoughtthat there wouldn't any trouble walking away from that relationship later asnone of them was interested in any kind of relationship at that point of time...

But times change so fast and we also change with times...

Now Geet is getting the fear that she might want to hold onto this relationship forever which is not correct...

Maan performed the marriage rituals just like some act in aplay only to help Geet...

Geet still respects his decision to agree for the unwantedand unexpected marriage with her, for she knows Maan took that drastic stepsolely to save her life from the hell that she was about to fall into rightthere and that he had no other intentions...

Geet very well knows that Maan did that under stragecircimstances considering the pathetic conditions of Geet and she should nevertake advantage of that...

She too has never taken this ceremonious wedding seriouslyand has been thinking that that marriage is just a key to her freedom from herfather and his sins...

But now Geet feels that she is changing, turninggreedy...wanting all the comforts for her always, not ready to let go of thisnew found treasure, not ready to part with it even though it doesn't belong toher...

She doesn't want the riches and luxuries of the Khuranas,she only wants their love and attention...

She has found a loving and caring dadi and also an equallyaffectionate and caring Maan hiding behind that angry MSK...and she has recentlycome across this passionate lover boy MSK...this is the jackpot which she wantsto have it for herself forever...

There is this growing desire inside her to have Maan forherself and omly herself...

Her heart says that Maan is her possession and she has allthe rights over him, but her dimag says that she has no right whatsoever evento think about him...mujhe koi haq nahi hai...

While Geet is still confused over what rights does shereally have to even think of Maan as someone she could want to spend her lifewith, share her joys and sorrows with, Maan has his own problems to get intoany kind of relationship with Geet...

That night Maan keeps thinking about what happened at theconference hall...

He is not able to accept the fact that Geet does make adifference in his life...

Geet ke paas hone ya na hone se Maan ko asmaan aur zameen kafarq padtha hai...

He is the brooding Maan when he is on his own but as soon asGeet comes in his vicinity the other Maan isside him wakes up...he is the onewho is still yearning for Geet's love and care...he is the one who has nocontrol over his tempetations...he is the one who still believes in love andhappiness...he is the one who is romantic...he is the one who is Geet'sdewana...he is the one who isn't bound by grief...he is the one Dadi wants torevive...he is the one who is responsible for Maan's unexpected wedlock...he is the one who provoked Maan into that wedding...he is the one whois ready for a relationship...

But this Maan is suppressed by the angry young MSK who isstill the dominating personality...he is still in control  ...Maan is scared that the MSK is slowly butsteadily losing to the other Maan...

He is not ready to accept the fact that Geet has changedhim, he still believes that he is too strong to be influenced by a stupid girland her beauty...

Maan knows that he has already started to have feelings forGeet and he has to curb his feelings in the beginning itself before they getuncontrollable...

And for that he has to keep away from that Geet and try toavoid meeting her alone unnecessarily...

Geet has now become a part of KC now and it's impossible toavoid her totally...

Now there is no way he could get rid of her from hislife...

But this is not the MSK...how could he change all of asudden?

And also Maan is not ready to take any more risk in hislife...

He is not ready for another loss, he is not ready foranother disappointment...

He knows his fate and there is no space for loved ones inhis life, he is not ready to hurt himself again...

He is happy with the way he is and he decides to flush outthis unwanted feelings that he has developed recently...this has nothing todo with MSK...he has to get it out of his system as soon as possible...

He has to be more cautious and stop behaving like ateenager...

This is not the age to fall for a girl...he is so matureand he knows he canhandle this...

He decides to ignore Geet from now...he has to  make sure that Geet doesn't exist for him...

Next day at KC...

Geet decides to take her job seriously and work hard so thatMaan will be pleased...

She then tries to go and meet Maan and ask him somedoubts...

She takes all the files and goes to his cabin...

She has files in one hand and blueprints and plans on theother...

She goes near the door and is confused...

Now how would she knock the door...

Adi just comes to meet Maan and he finds Geet struggling toopen the door...

Geet: Adi sir

Adi thinks that she is asking him to open the door for her andhe opens the door for her...

Geet is worried, but she had to enter else how will she getin? Maan would not come from his seat and open the door for her, haina?

Geet: thanks Adi sir

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha, you are welcome Geet

Adi then leaves...

Maan looks at the door hearing the noise and gets angry...

How dare she enters again without knocking?

Maan: geeet

Geet rushes in thinking that Maan is calling her...

Maan: ek bar kehtha toh tumme samaj mein nahi aatha? Abtumne knock kyun nahi kiya? Aur meinne tumme bhulaya bhi nahi

Geet stumbles upon the table and drops all the files infear...

Maan gets very angry...

Maan: tummm

Geet tries to tell him that she wanted to knock butcouldn't...

But Maan doesn't want to listen anything...

Maan: Geeet, get out of my cabin, immediately

Maan shouts...his frustations make him mad...

He is nervous as he doesn't want to see her...

Geet is very disappointed and she doesn't know what to do...

He avoids looking into her eyes for the fear of losing hisself-control...

Her innocent eyes turn him crazy everytime and they are hisweakness...

Geet collects her files and now too both her hands arefilled...

She moves towards the door and keeps staring the door...

Maan just realizes his mistake that she oculdn't haveknocked the door nor could have opened it...

Maan goes and opens the door for her...

Geet doesn't even turn back to look at him, she justleaves...

Maan feels that he has unnecessarily been rude to Geet...

Poor girl, she has just joined and might have needed somehelp...

But Maan can't help her, that is impossible, Maan knows thathe is losing control over his newly acquired feelings for Geet and whenever sheis with him his mind stops thinking and he he is enslaved by her intoxicatingbeauty...

Maan calls Adi and asks him to help Geet...

Adi helps Geet and Rahul also comes to KC often and is eagerto help Geet...

For the next few days Geet is busy with her work and so hasno time to meet Maan...

Maan is happy that he has escaped from Geet's bak bak andthinks that he has overcome his weakness...

On the third day Geet encounters a problem in the latestalterations in the plans and Rahul is not here to clear her doubts...

It's something that Maan had modified yesterday and Rahultoo thought that it's a good idea...

The plans have to forwarded to Mr.Sharma today...

Geet has forgot about the details Rahul gave her and sheneeds them to prepare the documents to be mailed to Royal realters...

She asks Adi but Adi didn't know anything about it...

Adi suggests that Geet ask Maan itself...

But Geet is scared to go to his cabin again and she asks Adito go meet Maan for her...

Adi tells her that Maan will get angry with him if heinterferes in other's matters...

Geet has no other go but to face the lion at it's denagain...

This time she makes sure she knocks the door without fail...

Maan doesn't expect Geet...
