Chapter 29
Pyaar kiya toh Darna Kya?
Maan and Geet were wandering in the area, holding onto each other's hand, while Geet's one hand was clutching the Teddy and the rose tightly, which appeared as Teddy holding onto a rose to be given to the Teddy Bear-ess…
For moments and moments they didn't speak. Geet enjoyed the beautiful surroundings while Maan enjoyed her beautiful company. While wandering like that for almost half-an-hour, Maan saw Geet staring in the sky unblinkingly. It was no wonder that he preferred watching Geet, more than watching anything else in the world, but he was curious to know what had caught his lady love's fancy. So, he followed her direction of gaze. He noticed that she was looking at the young Para-Sailor, that was enjoying the company of winds amongst the blue sky, attached to a sailing boat, but still free.
While looking onto the scene, she tilted her head backwards, and held his arm tightly for support, with her tilted head resting on Maan's chest. Maan inhaled her sweet fragrance and was mesmerized by her simplicity and innocence. He would have drowned in the scene for his entire life, but decided that he had to talk to her first.
Geet's eyes were still fixed on the sky, when Maan sneaked his arms around her stomach slyly. The action was so sudden that Geet couldn't respond. The warmth and comfort that she felt near him gave her a sense of security and today it was also a matter of pride, as she knew that the man beside her, loved her more than anything in his life.
Maan could feel her mixed feelings that were invoked by his mere touch. He bent his head a little towards her shoulder and digging her nose on her soft skin around her nape, said, "Geet… Please don't leave me, ever; in this life or the other lives to come."
Geet felt a tingling sensation within her as his nose brushed her nape. She was intoxicated beyond imagination by his smallest gesture. And, though she would never let him go, and preferred dying any time than being away, she was apprehensive about the future. She had gone through all the trouble in her life, just for her child. She fled from Hoshiyarpur, got her brother arrested, came to a completely different city in search of Dev, she struggled to restrict her feelings for Maan, and finally when the love still managed to breeze in to reach her, she came to know the dreadful truth. She feared that the society will raise questions if she went with Maan, she feared they would gossip about Maan's character, she feared the reputation of Maan's Company at stake due to her nearness with him. Just because, she loved him, wanted him, needed him, didn't mean she become so selfish that she let Maan down at the hands of the society for which he never cared for even a damned second. She had no doubt Maan love d her child, even more than she loved it. He had helped her without asking even a single question, without raising his brows, without even complaining for once. So much unconditional and irrevocable was his love that she felt guilty of herself, her own life, that she felt herself weak and unworthy of him.
She was standing still. One thought in her mind was saying that she loves Maan and Maan loves her. That's what is important. The other one said that this will be unfair to him as the society will bother him.
The first voice countered, "Jab pyaar kiya toh darna kya".
And with this statement her straight face curved into a gentle yet mischievous smile.
She had not realized until then, how close Maan had actually been to her.
He moved his hands over her stomach, in a tighter grip, sending the butterflies in her stomach, and then with a jerk, he removed one hand from her waist.
Geet, who was till now smiling, suddenly got disheartened as he removed his hands. She didn't want to tell him how much she loved being in his arms. A frown had appeared on her calm face.
Maan slowly pushed her hair aside softly with his hand and ran his nose over her neck, taking in her sweet scent, and admiring her while his hand rested back on her waist securing the grip on her.
His breath was tickling her, and she shaked her head slightly, which gave Maan easier access to her soft skin.
Geet's breath stuck in her lungs, she closed her eyes feeling his closeness, her heart beat was drastically high, and she had lost all the control over her mind and thoughts.
When suddenly, she awoke to her senses and realized that they were in a park. "What the heck are they doing in a broad daylight and that too in a picnic spot?" her mind thought aloud.
She opened her mouth to say something and then recalled that she had actually said that in a clash between her own thoughts. She herself allured him.
"Pyaar kiya toh darna kya???", ehh really, her mind was teasing her for her helpless situation.
"Maan", Geet finally said.
"Hmmm…", Maan responded her not breaking his concentration from her smooth, white, tender skin.
"Yeh aap, kya???", her voice choked. Unable to say anything further, she gripped his hand on her waist in nervousness.
Maan immediately sensed her nervousness and uneasiness. He understood her unspoken words.
He loosened his grip and raised his head from her neck, and said teasingly, "Tumne kaha… pyaar kiya toh darna kya!!!!". His eyes sparkling with mischief.
Geet felt dumb. She gripped his hands tighter, sweat drops appearing on her hand wetting Maan's hand, and as she fought with her own thoughts that kept on landing her in trouble, stammered, "Who mei… Voh toh… Mein toh…"
"Kya hua Geet?", Maan came in front of her then, to see the play of emotions on her face, and to comfort her from nervousness.
Maan had asked her so softly, that she had just lost into it had she been in a better situation. But, today she drove those thoughts away, and looked elsewhere to distract her otherwise crazy mind. Once again her eyes saw that Para- Sailor, and in her nervousness and guilt of being caught, she said, "Mein toh soch rahi thi… Keh rahi thi… (long pause)… mujhe bhi Para Sailing karni hai… aasman mei udna hai… pakshi ki tarah…", while saying this, she made a cute baby like face, to sound herself convincing.
"Toh fir darr ki baat kyun boli…", Maan enquired.
"Voh… meine dekha to pehle darr gayi. Fir meine bola, "Jab Pyaar kiya to darna kya!!!!", aap to hoge mujhe protect karne ke liye…", she said acting cuter than ever.
Geet looked so adorable while requesting him, that Maan would have stood rooted for a long time.
But, instead he realized the gravity of her wish. He didn't know how to tell this to her, but he had to. He had promised himself and he didn't want to break her, nor did he want to hurt her. Surely, even a stone-hearted person could be trapped in a dilemma, thinking to debar her from her wish. He was but in the love of her, how could he deny her wish.
Wondering what Maan is going to do next???? What is that he would deny Geet? What problem can Maan have with Geet's wish? Is he going to raise objection or remain silent?
To know the answers, you sure have to wait for the next update. Till then, keep thinking, keep guessing and keep commenting on the update too....😉
And most importantly, don't forget Me.....😆
With Luv,
Jhankaar
