Chapter 37

                                                       Part - 37

Maan keeps looking at Geet as if he is hypnotized by her beauty.....

This is not new to him, yet it's more intoxicating, Geet has truly aged like wine, actually Maan  has been missing this each and every day since he left India...

Maan might have physically distanced himself from Geet's life but deep inside his heart he still lives with her.... her memories... 

he might have been angry with Geet but he could never hate her..... there is no place for hatred for he never stopped loving her....

Geet's slows down upon taking every step.... 

the closer she gets to Maan the slower her steps are....

At one point her legs seize to move and she stops....

Maan is still in a trance... he could just keep admiring his Geet for the whole night.... 

Geet looks ravishing and stunning in her Olive green salwar suit...

it's Maan's favorite color.... he always says that dark colors suit Geet better...

Geet is also aware of it but she couldn't help but wear this color as Dev sent this dress specially for Geet and insisted that she wear it for the party....

Dev might have given it to Geet but it's MSK who selected it for his Geet...

Geet ko kaise pata hoga ki Maan bhi Dev ke saath shopping gaya hoga....

Geet did remember Maan for a second when she first saw the dress...

Maan is very happy that Geet didn't reject his choice after all....

Maan couldn't stop himself now....

he starts moving towards Geet....

Maan reaches Geet and finds her hair a little messy...

unknowingly his fingers reach her hair to adjust it....

Geet is taken aback by the sudden approach of Maan and she moves back in a hurry not knowing that she is standing on the edge of the steps....

she loses her balance and is about to topple when Maan catches her by her waist and saves her......

both of them have lost themselves in that bitter sweet moment for a minute...

how nice it would be if Maan could just rewind the time 5 years back....

for a fraction of a second even Geet forgot everything and went back to those happy days.......

Dev: Geeeeet

Geet comes back to her senses and slowly takes Maan's hand off her waist...

Maan: tum teek toh haina Geet?

Geet sees that same care and concern in Maan for her...........

somethings never change.... so is her stupid heart that keeps yearning for that soft gentle touch of her Maan....

Geet: haan, thank you Mr.Maan Singh Khurana

Geet is back into her revenge mode....

Maan: welcome Ms.Geet handa

Maan too doesn't miss to stress her surname....

Geet: Aditi kahan hai? 

Geet asks him in a suspicious authoritative tone as if she is inquiring a culprit.....

Maan gets very angry but he can't do anything in front of Dev...

ab toh Maan Geet ko apne man maani karne nahi dega...

Maan: woh bachchon ke saath khel rahi hai

Maan replies in an equally annoying tone....

she ignores Maan, takes Dev's hand and goes to pick Aditi....

Maan stands there staring them helplessly......

Maan keeps looking for an opportunity to talk to Geet alone.....

Maan sends Adi as the messenger....

Dev is playing with Aditi...

Adi goes near Geet: ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Geet: what's the matter Adi?

Adi: woh I want you to meet someone

Adi toh bahut hi sharma raha tha...

Geet: who's that lucky girl Adi?

Geet winks..... she likes Adi very much.... Adi ke saath ek bhai wali feeling aathi hai....

Maan too treats Adi like family though he easily gets angry by Adi's easy go nature at times....

Adi toh sharam se lal lal ho jaatha....

Adi: can you please come with me?

Geet: I can't wait to meet her, I know, uska naam Pinky haina?

Geet  just remembers Adi telling about his marriage and Pinky coming to Mumbai.....

Adi takes Geet to the conference room which is on the other side of the building...

Pinky is waiting there......

Adi: Pinky Pinky

Pinky turns and is still munching her lays.....

she thinks it's Adi and offers the chips to Geet instead....

Pinky: naya flavor hai, bahut achcha hai, try karlo Aaaaaaaaaaa

she pauses and is scared.....

Geet takes the pack from her and tastes it....

Geet: hmmm , very good

Pinky relaxes.... 

Adi: Pinky, Geet m'am

Pinky: namasthe Geet m'am

Geet gives her a warm hug.....

Geet: m'am kyun? I'm not that old, Geet hi bhula sakthi ho Pinky

Pinky instantly likes Geet....

just then someone comes..... it's MSK....

Geet is little agitated seeing Maan.......

Adi and Pinky leave silently.....

Maan comes closer and closer while his eyes are really getting intoxicated by her beauty...

ab Maan pure haq se Geet ke duppatta ko teek kartha....

Geet freezes for a moment but immediately wears her shield, her anger......

Geet: mujhe kyun bhulaya?

Geet ko abhi sab kuch patha chal gaya.... 

Maan: tum mujhse kuch chupa rahi ho Geet

Geet: mujhe aapse koi lena dena nahi hai

Maan: meine bhi aaisa hi socha tha, lekhin hai Geet, abhi bhi hummare beech mein bahut kuch bakhi hai 

Maan gets even closer...... he looks into her eyes for answers.... he knows that her eyes never lie to him...

Geet's eyes are red hot with anger..... but behind that anger she is hiding her yearnings....

Maan could see thru her shield without much effort.....

she is actually still very angry with him....

Maan couldn't understand her anger.....

she created all this trouble on her own...

if there is anything that is wrong on Maan's part, then it's his weakness for Geet, even now he loses control on his feelings completely when he is with Geet.....

there is something about this girl that turns him crazy like anything...

she can win him over even in this angry avatar....

Maan will never accept that he has done anything wrong....

if at all she could blame him then it could be that one night that they were together....

Maan has no regrets b'coz for him it is their way of sharing that pure love that they have for each other.... if there is love then what is wrong in showing it.... 

his love for Geet has only grown from that day, that's when he realized how much she trusts him...

but that trust didn't last long.....

it hurts him more than anything that Geet doesn't trust him, even after finding about their child she didn't trust him in sharing the responsibility of his own child

Geet ke paas Maan se naraz hone ke liye koi bhi reason nahi hai.....

Maan didn't leave her on his own, it's Geet herself who rejected him....

kyun Geet? kyun? tumme mujhpe itna bhi viswaas nahi hai?

Maan has every reason to be angry.... but his anger doesn't survive her one look....

the moment she looks at him his anger dies a thousand deaths and he becomes so weak....

Maan wanted to confront Geet in full rage but the minute she appeared before him he forgot about everything and here he is in his pagal deewana mode....

Maan is happy that Geet has decided to move on.... but he wants to know why she hid the truth about Aditi.......

Maan: Geet, mein yahan tumse ladhne nahi aaya hoon

Geet knows that from his tone.... he is broken.... he is desperate.... 

Geet remains silent....... she too wants to pour her heart out once before she could move on in her life... she can't carry the baggage of her past into her future.... that would be incorrect...

she can't live with the guilt that she has done anything wrong with Maan....

she didn't have any guilty feelings before Maan came back.....

she was so strong and believed that she is right in every way....

why would he come back in her life? why babaji? why?

she is not here to justify anything, she is also not here to convince Maan that she is right....

she knows that she has not done anything wrong... 

she just wants Maan also to know the truth so that he can no longer point a finger towards her in the future....

he has the right to know the truth as he has found out half the truth...

half truth is more dangerous than a lie.... that's why Geet wants him to know the whole truth....

then she will be free to marry Dev and start afresh....
