Chapter K
mom and Amit stood up, Amit was giving me a disappointed look and mom was all curious "who is Maan Singh Khurana?" she asked
"he is my boyfriend" i said firmly
"boyfriend?" mom laughed "you dont have a boyfriend"
"i do mom, and i just said his name"
she looked at Amit "did you know about this?"
he was still looking at me "Geet, it shouldt have been this way"
"you knew!" mom shouted
"there is no other way, both of you are now against me.. he proposed and i said yes"
"WHAT?!" mom shouted angrily at me
Amit sighed, i looked at mom "i want to marry him"
"who is he? where does he live? what does he do?!" mom asked all these questions in one breath
"he owns Khurana Telecom Company "
"WHAT?!" both of them shouted at me now
i looked down "he owns it"
"how old is he?" Amit asked
"he's 30" i shrugged saying it
"wah Geet wah!" mom walked towards me "you come and say that you want to get married to a 30 years old man.." i didnt looked at her "well young girl, you wont get married at this age"
i looked at her "i am here to inform you, not to take your approval"
she lifted her arm up "you want another slap to teach you how to talk to your mother?" she was furious
"]B]go ahead... you did it already before[/B]"
and her hand lied on my cheek, it was stronger than the last time "GO TO YOUR ROOM" she shouted at me
"SHUBLEE! you dont solve this by hitting her"
"do not interfere between me and my daughter" she looked at him
"she is my daughter too"
"no she's not" Amit looked at her shocked, she looked back at me "you are grounded for life, no going out until this summer vacation is over, you will go to school then back here.. and i will take your mobile away from you tomorrow morning, give you time to say goodbye to this boyfriend of yours"
i blinked at her, then started walking towards my room "what the hell do you mean she is not my daughter too?" Amit aruged
i couldnt sleep that night, mom and Amit were in the biggest fight of all their relationship years, finally at 4 am Amit gave up and told mom that he's going to sleep in the living room, mom shouted "better" and Amit slammed the door behind him. i thought that i would be able to sleep but no, mom started sobbing.. it was breaking my heart to hear her cry like that, reminded me of the day my father passed away, she cried this hard in her room for hours and wouldnt allow anyone in. it was 6 am when Amit went to her, she shouted "go away" but he didnt, and then she was calm again. after that, my thoughts started kicking in, all the crazy ideas about what will happen if i told Maan that? i didnt call him at all.. even though he was calling but i couldnt pick up, it would be too risky to talk to him while the whole house was tensed. at 8 am, i got up and walked towards the window, i saw Maan standing at the bus stop, looking at my window, his face lit up and had a big grin but i smiled sadly at him, his grin faded then waved his mobile at me, i called him
"Geet"
"Maan please walk away"
"why? what happened?"
"walk away first please" i didnt want mom or Amit to see him standing looking at my window
he started walking, and my heart ached.. what if this is the last time i see him? "now, what happened?"
"i kinda made a big stupid mistake"
he slowed down "how stupid?"
i sighed "i told them that i will marry you and mom got angry.. she grounded me.. i wont be able to leave the house" he stopped "and she will take my mobile from me today"
"no that's not allowed" he turned and started running towards my building
"what are you doing?"
"she cant take you away from me" he hang up and i looked at him going inside, few moments later he called "are you going to tell me which apartment you live in or should i knock on each door of this building?"
"5"
he hang up, few minutes later, the door bell rang, my heart was pounding, i slowly opened my door.. the hallway is clear, i walked on my toes and stood at the end of the hallway, it led to the living room, and the main door was clear for me to see, Amit opened the door "yes?" he said
"hello, my name is Maan Singh Khurana.. im here to talk to Mr. Amit and Mrs.." he paused "Handa" i sighed in relief, he doesnt know her name and saying Mrs. Amit would be a big mistake
"oh, of course.. come in" Amit grinned "im Amit by the way" he shook Maan's hand
"thanks" Maan smiled at him
"that's Shublee, Geet's mother"
Maan and Amit walked towards the sofa, and sat down, now i cant see them as the wall was blocking me "Mrs. Shublee" Maan sounded so polite
"you want to talk to us about something?" mom sounds rude already
"yes, i want to officially propose to your daughter" i smiled hearing him say that
"how old are you?" mom asked
"30"
"and Geet is only 18"
"i understand that.."
"i dont think you do" mom interrupted him "it would be really easy for me to report you as a child molester" my jaw hit the ground
"child.." Maan couldnt finish the sentence
"Shublee" i heard Amit warning tone of voice
"if i am what you claim then why am i here proposing to her officially?" Maan asked angrily
"i dont know, maybe you will marry her today and divorce her tomorrow to run after another 18 years old girl"
there was silence, my hands were fists now, my tears were on my cheeks.. how could she humiliate Maan like that? he is only 30 not 60 "i guess i should've brought my mother with me to show you how serious i am"
"i guess you should have"
"alright then, i will come tomorrow"
i saw Amit and Maan walking towards the door, Amit was whispering something to Maan that i couldnt hear, but Maan smiled and hugged Amit, he caught me hiding and frowned as he saw my tears, i quickly wiped them as he walked outside, i got out of my hiding place and shouted "CHILD MOLESTER?!"
"oh Geet good, you're awake" mom smiled walking towards me
"he is here to propose to me and you only demeaned him!"
she stood in front of me then spoke as she folded her arms to her chest "i have made a decision.." she paused looking at me firmly "i will send you to live with your uncle in USA"
"what?" Amit asked sounding shocked
i couldnt talk, i was only looking at her "your flight is at 8 tonight, go to your room and start packing"
"Shublee.. what are you doing?" Amit was still shocked
"saving my daughter" she answered looking at me "didnt you hear me Geet? go to your room"
"he came and proposed.. what more do you want?" i asked her emotionless
"i dont want you to do the same mistake that i did" she bit her lip as she said that
"mistake?"
"oh great" Amit shook his head giving us his back
"getting married to dad, giving birth to me was a mistake?" i asked her, but she only looked away.. how can she be this cruel? it's like im looking at a new person that formed overnight
"start packing Geet, i wont repeat this twice" she threatened, there was a storm in my head that didnt allow me to think clear, only a saving voice kept repeating inside my head and demanded me to "leave", i started walking backwards, Amit looked at me and knew what i was going to do but mom looked petrified "Geet, go to your room!" she yelled
i shook my head then gave them my back and ran towards the door, i heard her shout my name, i stopped and looked back to see Amit holding her "let her go" he shouted at her then nodded at me
i opened the door and started running down the stairs, all the way to the first floor, the moment i opened the main door of our building i shouted "MAAN" but he wasnt there, he probably left long time ago.. i ran to the main street and stopped a cab, asked him to take me to Khurana Telecom Company, that's the only place that i know i will find Maan there, my head was still going through this storm of ideas about running away with Maan.. but i know Maan wouldnt think like this, or even have this immature and irrational idea. the cab stopped and i almost jumped out and ran inside the company, it wasnt empty like the last time i've been here, it was full of people. i got inside the elevator and pressed 10, thats where his office is. people in the elevator were looking at me, i had to dry my cheeks to look normal, once they were out, i ran towards Maan's secretary "where can i find Maan Singh Khurana?" i was afraid he wouldnt be in his office
the secretary raised an eyebrow at me "Mr." he paused "Maan Singh Khurana is in a meeting"
"where?"
he sighed "in the meeting room"
"WHICH ONE!?" i shouted at him, the whole floor went quiet but i didnt care, i wanted to know and this dude wasnt giving me full info
he looked at me "2" i ran towards it "YOU CANT GO IN THERE MISS!" he shouted following me
i started looking for 2 and when i found it, i opened the door without thinking.. every man and woman in that room looked at me, but i was searching for one face, and he was sitting at the head of the big table, he looked at me and saw my tears but i realized how stupid i probably looked so i backed off "sorry" i whispered
i closed the door and sighed, looked ahead to see the secretary still walking towards me with angry eyes "Geet" i looked back to see Maan standing
"Mr. Khurana, this girl rudely.." the secretary stopped talking as Maan gave him a very furious look
Maan then looked down at me "tum teek ho na?" but i couldnt talk, i hugged him and started crying "Geet" he hugged me back "chalo.. lets go up" he kissed my head "inform Rahul to cancel the marketing meeting"
"yes sir"
"be nice next time Jorge" Maan warned him then we both started walking towards the elevator, i had to bite my lip to stop crying in front of everyone, Maan still had his arms around me until we were inside the elevator, i started crying again like a little girl in his arms "shhh.. please you know how much i hate to see you like this" he said rubbing my back. i couldnt say anything, my tears wouldnt stop either, we walked inside his apartment and he sat me down on his comfy sofa, he sat on his knees in front of me to be able to see my face that was just full of tears and red from crying "if i asked what's wrong, are you going to cry more?" i nodded "then lets not talk about that now" he wiped my tears away, and held my hands, he looked around "you want to watch TV?" i shook my head as no "ok.. i have DVD player" he smiled proudly, i smiled and shook my head looking down at his hand "did you eat something?"
"you have a meeting" i reminded him
"screw it, did you eat?" he looked really concerned
"i'm not hungry" i wasnt, my stomach was full of slaps and fights
"i am" i looked at him "share my plate?" i sighed "please"
"ok" i gave up when he gave me the puppy eyes look
"great" he grabbed his mobile and dialed a number "ye Jorge listen.." he started talking to him about bringing food from Umid's when i slowly put my head on our hands, and closed my eyes.. i was so tired, the fights, the slaps that mom gave me.. the tears i dropped all were just overwhelming, i felt his other hand on my head "are you ok?" he whispered
i slowly looked up at him "mom is sending me to USA" there were no emotions in Maan's face, he wasnt even blinking "she doesnt want us to get married"
Maan looked down, frowning, his hands tighten on my mine "she cant.." he paused "you should go home" he looked at me
"no" i shook my head
"i dont want her to think that you are running away"
"if i go back she will force me on the airplane Maan" i was already shaking
"ok, ok" he stood on his knees and put his arms around me "no one will take you away from me Geet"
i hugged him back "i dont know why she is doing this"
"she's protecting you i think"
"by slapping me" i sighed, he slowly moved back and quickly closed his eyes and moved his head to the other side "kya?]/B]"
he shook his head "i will call mom and then talk to her about this.. maybe we will go today.. she knows how to solve problems better than me" he looked down at his mobile
"kya hua?" i put my hand on his cheek but he wouldnt let me see his face, i leaned down, to meet his gaze, then slowly kissed his lips to be able to lift his head up a bit
"you know what i hate?" he whispered when we separated "people hurting you" he looked at me
i smiled "it was the first time she ever hit me.."
"she uses a weird way of showing her power" he sighed "or i dont know"
i giggled then put my arms around him "i was thinking about running away with you"
he laughed "too much Bollywood?"
"no, i hate it.." i paused "you dont want to run away with me?"
he smiled, put his hand on my cheek "i'm not a coward to take you behind your mother's back and run away with you" my heart started beating fast "i will try with your mother util she agrees.. i dont care how long that takes me!"
"what if she sends me away?" i whispered in a shaky voice
"no" he put the other hand on my cheek "she wont be able to do that, i'd cancel every flight you'd be in"
i giggled "how?"
"bomb alert, havent you been watching the news?" i laughed as he smiled then leaned and kissed me softly, when he moved back i held his hand and kissed the palm of his it, i looked at him to see his mouth open looking at his hand, when he met my gaze he quickly said "i should.. call Jorge" he took his hand away from mine and then got up really rapidly and walked away from me "i dont know whats taking him so long" he talked to himself then looked back at me "you want to go out? walk.. or.. something?"
i blinked at him "]B]are you ok?" i asked
"oh damn forgot to call mom" he giggled nervously then gave me his back the mobile on his ear "haan ma, listen.. i need you to the company now.. Geet yahan hai and we need your help.. alright, will be waiting" he hang up and looked back at me grinning "she's coming"
i got up and walked towards him, he looked at me nervously "did i do something wrong?" cause now he is walking backwards
"no, not at all" he sighed heavily "lets watch TV" he walked pass me then sat on the sofa
i went and sat next to him, looking at him all puzzled "Maan.. kya hua?" i was getting worried
he was looking at the TV screen in front of us when he slowly looked down "my hand.. is a sensitive place for me" he almost whispered in embarrassment
i didnt understand but to see him this troubled, i hated it "you want me to leave?"
"no" he shook his head looking away "where would you go?" he smiled
"i dont know.." i looked around "bedroom?"
he closed his eyes tight "im telling you, you just kissed the most sensitive place in my whole body and you're talking about going to the bedroom?"
i blinked at him for a moment then it hit me so hard that i gasped "oh!" i whispered
he laughed "are you seriously this innocent?" he finally looked at me
"i dont know about such things.." i bit my lip blushing
"hm" he nodded looking at me, he got that look in his eyes that reminded me of the first time we kissed, he started leaning towards me, his arm reached my waist and held it before i was on my back looking up at him.. is this it?
PRECAP
he was quiet it scared me, i moved back and looked to see his moisture eyes, i pushed myself up to be able to see his face "how can you.." he said looking at me "make me all sensitive?" a tear fell "i never experienced this with anyone else.." he looked at me "i dont want to at all.. my tears were never seen by anyone else.. but they easily fall in front of you"
