Chapter 32

              Part – 31

Geet is very happy... 

She has confirmed that there is something that Maan too feels for her... 

That's enough to move forward without any hesitation... 

But Maan is adamant to accept the truth... 

Geet is not going to let him escape from the truth.... 

Next day….

Maan leaves to Mumbai for a meeting…

Geet goes to KC and waits for him thinking that he must have gone to one of the local sites…

Dev comes and he sits in Maan’s chair…

He keeps looking at Geet…

Dev: I wish I was in Maan’s place

Geet: you can never be in his place

Dev: I mean this chair, this is perfect

Dev keeps staring Geet…

Geet: where is Maan?

Dev: he has gone to Mumbai

Geet: Mumbai?

Dev: didn’t he tell you?

Geet: no

Dev: he’ll be back in two days

Geet: two days?

Dev: don’t worry Geet, I’ll give you company

Geet: good

Geet puts on a fake smile….

Dev keeps asking Geet to get one or other file so that she would be with him…

Geet doesn’t like it at all…

Next day Geet stays back at KM with dadi…

Dev comes to meet her that evening…

He goes to the out house…

Geet is singing on her own and tidying her cupboards..

Dev goes and keeps looking at her…

Geet feels that someone is there…

She thinks it might be Maan…

She is bewildered to see Dev standing and staring her…

Geet: what are you doing here?

Dev: I came to see you

Geet: why?

Dev: you didn’t come to the office

Geet: I didn’t feel like coming

Dev: I was kind of missing you

Geet stares him…

Dev: your service I mean

Geet: I’m not working for you, mind you

Dev: I know, but I love working with you

Geet: I don’t

Geet cuts him off directly…

Still Dev is not ready to leave her…

Dev: I like your company Geet

Geet: I don’t think I like it much

Dev: you will start liking it only when you get to know me

Geet: I said I don’t want to

Dev: I know you are little shy, you can take your time

Geet: now will you mind leaving me alone?

Dev leaves…

Maan comes back that night…

Next morning….

Geet is desperately waiting to see Maan…

Dev comes to work out as usual…

Geet doesn’t want to go there…

But she wants to see Maan badly…

Maan didn’t even answer her calls for the last two days…

Geet missed him very much…

Geet goes and waits in his room..

Maan comes and Geet is about to go towards him, she sees Dev coming behind Maan…

Dev is surprised to see Geet there…

Dev: good morning Geet

Geet: good morning

Dev: Maan, I’ll go take a shower in didi’s room

Dev leaves…

Geet: why didn’t you answer my calls?

Geet asks Maan angrily…

Maan: I was in a meeting

Geet: 24*7?

Maan: Geet, you know I was in Mumbai for a business meet

Geet: I don’t know anything, how could you do this to me?

Maan: it’s only a matter of few days and you have to get used to this anyhow

Geet: it’s not your problem

Maan: yes, it is, you are my problem Geet

Geet: you have no other go but to get used to living with this problem

Dev comes to take the towel…

Geet sees him coming…

She goes and hugs Maan tight…

Maan is shocked, and so is Dev…

Geet: I missed you Maan

Maan: Geet, what are you doing?

Maan tries to push her off…

Dev leaves silently…

Geet leaves Maan…

Maan: what’s wrong with you Geet?

Geet: nothing

Maan: what will Dev think about us?

Geet: let him know the truth

Maan: why are you doing this Geet?

Geet: why are you doing this to me Maan?

Maan looks at her confused…

Geet: I know everything

Maan: I don’t understand

Geet: don’t act innocent Maan, I know what you are trying to do

Maan: what?

Geet: it’s Dev, you have been misleading him about me

Maan: what are you talking about?

Geet: why are you trying to set me up with him?

Maan: He really likes you Geet

Geet: I don’t like him

Maan: he’ll be perfect for you, trust me Geet, this is the right thing for you, don’t ruin this for something that is unreal

Geet: who are you to decide what is right for me? I totally understand if you want to remain single, but who gave you the right to play with my life? It’s my life, I’ll do whatever I want to with it, you don’t get a say in this

Maan: what is that you want me to do? Just keep watching you suffer like this forever?

Geet: if that’s what you want then I’m happy to stay like this forever

Maan: you are killing me Geet, I admit that I made a mistake this time, I promise you that I won’t interfere in your life from now on, I expect the same form you, now you may leave

Maan shows the door to her…

Geet leaves with a heavy heart… she is ready to let him go… she doesn’t want to hurt him anymore…

What’s the use in hurting him like this? actually Geet is getting hurt in the end after seeing him in pain?

It’s better to stay away from him… she is sure that Maan would realize the truth sooner or later… she is ready to wait for him till then, even if takes him a lifetime to realize her true love, she will wait till eternity…
