Be Mine - part 4
previous part : Maan heard everything she said and thought teenage love? But i was there with her till 8th standard so when did she even got close to that person whom she claims she loved!!? May be he was her college friend but how can she....he didn’t know why he felt this anger, possessiveness and that unknown feeling called jealousy inside him when he thought of someone close to her other than him!! He saw as geet got up from there excusing herself saying that she was feeling thirsty and started heading towards the kitchen. It’s time for confrontation miss handa...i will know who is that person you loved and also ask why you pretended as if you din’t know me he thought determined and left there excusing them!!
__--------------
Geet entered into the kitchen and was all lost in her thinking process to see who entered into the kitchen! She was unable to believe that she shared that part of her life she doesn’t want to say to anyone , About her secret love and her secret crush ! and it wouldn’t be any secret now she thought sighing and turned around but was horrified to see someone close to her, she didn’t get the chance to see the person’s face because the kitchen’s lights were not on ! CHORR! She thought and her eyes widened! she was the only one in the mansion and that chor can do anything to her, realizing this she thought of the only option was to scream and beat the person to black and blue !! and screamed CHORR, CHORR how dare you! And how did you mange to come into the mansion full of securities saying this she started beating with her tiny hands which showed no effect on the other person..... but before she could continue... her mouth was covered by a rough hand and his other hand pinned her both hands behind her back pulling her towards himself to stop her from any moments !! “chup bilkul chup” saying this he quickly switched on the lights and glared at her still holding onto her. She sighed in relief for a moment to see it was MAAN but then glared at him and said “what the hell MAAN! Koii aisaa karta haii kya... you scared me!! and why are you here? When did you come ?and were you trying to play any pranks with me like you used to do in our childhood, switching of the lights and all ! dare you do that cause am not that geet anymore..” before she continues he pressed his hand to her mouth “Shhhhh first relax miss hosiyarpur,and OHHH how did you remember all those things which i did to you? So you were pretending that you din’t know me, miss handa ? he narrowed his eyes at her removing his hand from her lips he moved few inches away from her and smirked at her folding his arms against his chest looking at her intently. She closed her eyes and bit her lower lip realizing what she did in her blabbering.
Why? He asked looking intently at her waiting for her explanation...she started fidgeting her dupatta looking down not knowing what to say! She ignored him because she thought him as meera's fiancee.. But even when he was not that made no difference to her cause she knew there was no place for her in his heart nd this she came to know at meera's engagement... even after saying her name he didn't recognize her! So why should she care!! Determined she said "why does it matter to you!! Me recognizing you made No difference to me or you.. So it doesn't matter " saying this she started moving but stopped when she felt a hand around her wrist
"you changed so much!! You are not that geet I knew " Maan said sternly holding her hand tightly. Hearing him geet temper raised, Ohh so now he is blaming me and accusing me of being changed it is him who didn't recognize me at first and not the other way round... She turned and jerked his hand away... looked at him....her eyes spitting fire "So you think i changed ?.....It was you Who didn't recognize me at first place ! what about me! when you left the school suddenly 10 years ago and what about those moments which we spent together... Fighting, teasing and that competing with each other you..." she was continuing her blabbering without knowing what she was saying!.... involuntarily telling him how much she missed him!! ...but stopped when he took two long strides reaching her and put his both arms on either side of her pinning her to the kitchen counter and looking at her with amusement dancing in his eyes... "So i was your Crush!?" he said in a husky voice and smirked..looking at her widened eyes.. He continued again moving more close to her "So it was ME you were saying few Moments ago!? " His warm breath fanning her face. Her eyes widened and her mouth opening and closing not to know what to say!!
----------
She never wanted him to know of her little secret or say truth because she knew he was Never interested in her and her self-respect is much more important than anything to her....she didn’t want to force herself on anything which was not liked by the other person and that was the reason she never ever tried to contact him or meet him Even though he lived in the same place as her ! yes they lived in the same place of delhi but unfortunately they never meet may be he went to the other place to study US or London she thought.....But as the time passed she really moved on and never ever thought of meeting him again but when saw him in the meera’s engagement she didn’t knew what she felt for him...happy or sad! because she really thought that she forgot about him And her feelings for him sudsided as the time passed ! (But who was she joking the first love can never be forgotten!!) Her inner turmoil was mixed with various emotions Happy that she had Seen him after ten years, Sad that she could never be his, considering his richness and she being a middle class, Angry that he didn’t recognize her, Jealous when she thought him as meera’s fiance.... She didn’t want to feel any of these emotions for him... she is confused that how can he affect her this much even after these many years! She doesn’t love him now! than why she felt that pricking feeling in her heart As she thought of him as meera’s fiance. She didn’t know!!
As the time passes we move on from many things And Geet too felt that she moved on from that particular feeling called LOVE for him Because she thought it as a waste of time and being from a conservative family their parents will never accept LOVE MARRIAGES they are strictly against it and this made her believe that she wouldn’t love anyone again and will marry only that person her family selects! She don’t want to disappoint her parents!
As for maan he is her childhood love, she cherished it and never expected anything in return. she just enjoyed that feeling of being in love in her teenage days and then moved on! So she was determined now that she will never get affected by him once again and get her heart broken for the second time !!

She looked straight in his eyes and faked a laugh saying “Don’t give yourself too much importance Maan... lol how... how could you...even imagine yourself as my crush...tum itna bhi khaas nahi ho” she lied, faking a laugh in between.. holding the kitchen slab for support. Maan was highly irritated by her answer.... he was little hurt hearing her say that he was not her crush! he felt angry “who is he” he asked in a stern voice moving close to her. She stopped for a moment to see him reaching more close to her “tumhe kyu batao ....anyways it’a childhood crush so it doesn’t make any sense now... i forgot about him” said geet trying to move away from him.... but he blocked her way and narrowed his eyes at her “i wouldn’t believe you” he whispered and put his both arms on either side of her trapping her in between him and the slab “what” she asked confused what did he mean by that!? “I was the only person with you in your childhood and it was definately me you were talking about few moments ago” he was not done with her and he will make sure she accepts it! “Maan...move i have to go” she knew how stubborn he his and she wouldn’t let him win! "hey geet" said a voice behind them and they instantly moved away from each other....
“Hey Vishal.... how are you....omg it’s such a long time when did you come” said geet smiling hugging him side ways... “Iam good how are you...just now...Offo you became such a pretty and beautiful girl, hmmm so this is the reason i didn’t find shimla to be that much cold i thought it would be” said Vishal hugging her back. Geet playfully hit his arm hearing his flirteous comment... Vishal was the same school of geet and maan but he was their senior... he is a cousin brother of meera! He is good in nature and just considers geet as a friend nothing more!
Maan was feeling extreme rage inside him to see them hugging and hearing that Vishal’s flirty comment....he fisted his hands on either side to control his building anger ! he didn’t know why he felt this angry to see geet close to Vishal. Geet looked at maan to see his tightening jaw and his lips pressed in a thin line...she could make out that he was angry on something... She could feel the tension in air...she reached towards maan and said “ Maan meet Vishal he used to be our senior” i hope you remember him unlike me! She muttered but maan heard it well. Saying hellos they both shaked their hands... “Maan long time no see! So you are here for my cousin meera’s marriage?” Vishal asked Maan... “Actually I’m from groom’s side...yash is my best friend” he replied in his casual voice suppressing his inner turmoil! “What are you both doing here in the kitchen, they are playing outside, common let’s go” Vishal said moving forward... Geet was about to move but stopped when she felt a hand around her wrist... “Ah we will be there in a minute.... Geet wanted a help to take snacks for all of them so am here to help her” Maan said in a firm voice showing his big eyes to geet daring to deny him! Geet gulped and said a meek yes... After they were alone Maan grabbed both of her arms and pinned her to the wall.... “Don’t say me that he is the one” he said gritting his teeth... Geet was shocked to see him so angry and scared to look at his glaring eyes “jab mai tumse baat kar raha hoon tho mujse aanke milakar javab do.. Geet” Maan whispered on her face looking at her downcasted eyes! “Maan yei kya badtameezi hai...chodiye muje.. koi aajayega” she wriggled her hands to free herself from his hold... just then her phone buzzed... Maan freed her hands but didn’t move.... she glared at him and took her phone to see her father calling her... she smiled a bright smile and clicked on answer button “Hello paapa......” their conversation continued for a little while till her father decided to break the news she is smiling all through talk but remained still when she heard his words “jii....ji.. papa” saying she cut the call...her eyes started getting wet... She jerked from her thoughts when she heard Maan’s Voice “Geet tum tik ho” he asked holding her shoulders... “iam fine” saying this she moved away from him and headed upstairs towards her room.... Maan looked at her retreating form something is not fine he thought frowning.
