Part 6
In the fuzzy limbo between wakefulness and sleep, Geet saw the classic handsome face materialize out of the fog. She stared in wonder at the intense dark eyes and stubborn set of the jaw, as he caught the tip of the sword in his bare hands and held it from striking through her throat. She caught the glint of rage in those deep eyes and before she could reach out and touch him, everything changed and she suddenly saw the same eyes, but filled with fear and helplessness now. She shifted her eyes from the guilt-filled eyes to the same handsome face that was now covered with dark red blood. Gasping, she looked around and found herself hanging out of a window, her only anchor being a strong arm, blood dripping down it to reach her own hands. Before her eyes closed once again and she felt her grip loosening from his arm, she saw the desperation and rage reflected in those eyes and then everything was blissfully black once again.
"MK..", Geet moaned in a low whisper, as she came to. Clutching her pounding head, she fought to open her eyelids and looked into the same dark eyes that had appeared in her dream.

Maan was pacing in the room, his fists clenching and unclenching as he barked out instructions over his phone to his detective to gather all information about a certain Brij and Rahul. They had dared set eyes upon his Geet and he will make sure they get the punishment they deserve!
He shut the phone and turned to look at Dadi and Pinky, who were now looking back at him apprehensively. He caught the look in their faces and even though he was boiling with rage and fury inside, he took a deep calming breath and composed himself. He glanced at the prone form of his Geet, who was still unconscious and threw an impatient glance at the doctor in the family.
"Aur kitne der?", he questioned annoyed. "Kab usse hosh aayega?" "In less than 30 minutes Maan", Vicky answered calmly. "I already told you.. her BP was high and I just gave her a mild sedative. She should be coming around any moment now"
Maan threw an exasperated glance at Dadi. "Dadima, mein keh raha hoon na. Geet ko hume ek sachi doctor ke paas le jaana chahiye" "Maan beta.. Vicky bhi doctor hai. Don't forget that" Dadima tried to appease him but when it comes to Geet, Maan was not ready to listen to even Dadi. "Psychiatrist hai.. doctor nahi" he bit out and banged his fist against the wall hard.
He felt the same helpless feeling from 2 years ago creep up on him. He had to stand by and let his Geet suffer back then and it was no different now. He hated himself when he felt this frustrated and powerlessness. And with Geet lying unconscious on his bed in a hotel room, his heart was feeling restless and unable to protect his Geet. All he wanted now was to gather her close in his arms and never ever let go!
"Enough Maan! I will not hear one more word from you on this" Dadi chided him and whatever Maan was about to say in retort was lost when they all heard the light moan from Geet. Maan immediately ran to her side and held her shoulders, peering at her face anxiously as she slowly opened her eyes with much effort.
Geet blinked her eyes like deer caught in headlights and looked around, trying to come to terms with the foreign place and the strangers around her. But her eyes were pulled time and again to the man who sat beside her now, holding on to her tightly as if he would never let go. She realized his deathly grip on her arms that were already sore from Rahul's manhandling and winced in pain. She struggled to get out of his arms but it only made him hold her even tighter and bring her closer into his possessive embrace. Although his scent threatened to overwhelm her and tempted her to drown herself in him, her brain that had finally woken up gave her a jolt and she whimpered, trying to extricate herself from his arms.
Dadi caught the frown on Geet's face and understood she was hurting. She placed a hand on Maan's shoulder and gently squeezed, bringing him back to his senses. "Maan beta, usse chordeejiye. Usse takleef ho rahi hai shayad" Maan slowly loosened his grip from around her and Geet immediately scampered away to the other side of the bed, closer to Dadi.
Vicky approached Geet cautiously and bent down to examine her bruises that were turning purple now. He held her arms gently and palpitated around the cuts when he heard the low possessive growl from Maan. He looked up and was momentarily taken aback by the pure obsession mirrored in Maan's eyes as he eyed Vicky touching Geet, his wounded hand clenched tight and causing the clotted blood to drip down freely once again.
Vicky immediately left Geet's hand and surprised at Geet's fearful glance at Maan, stepped closer to Dadi. He nudged Dadi slightly, telling her his intent silently and turned to look at Maan.
"Maan, we need some medicines for Geet. Can you go get them?" "Why should I leave Geet and go? Tum khud jao" Maan snarled at him, his eyes not leaving Geet even for a moment.
Vicky looked at Dadi and she blinked her eyes, understanding his need to talk to Geet without Maan hovering over her fiercely. "Maan aap jaayiye aur humari BP medicine bhi le aayiye. Sirf aapko medicines ka naam patha hai. Yahaan aane ke jald mein hum apne medicines bhool gaye aur humari palpitations tez ho rahe hai", she held her chest lightly and looked at Maan pleadingly.
Maan looked away once before he nodded unwillingly. Now that he had his Geet with him, he never wanted her to be away from him for even a second but he had to take care of his Dadi too. He grabbed the prescription from Vicky and throwing a hateful gaze at him, strode out of the room.
Dadi sat closer to Geet and ran a motherly hand through her hair, admiring her grandson's choice silently. She held Geet's chin lightly and made her look up, "Aap bohut khoobsoorat ho Geet. Aur aap finally hume mil gaye. Ab hume humari pote ki chinta nahi hai. Aap aagaye na, ab sab kuch teek hojayega"
Geet loved the warmth of Dadi and all she wanted was to bury her head in her lap and sob all her miseries out. But Dadi's words seem to puzzle her greatly. "Aap kya keh rahe hai? Mein aap sabko jaanti tak nahi. Aur mere mil jaane se kya teek hoga?" "Geet beta, hum pehle kabhi nahi mile hai lekin Maan told me all about you. Maan aapko pagalon ki tharah doond raha tha 2 saal se aur ab aap finally mil gaye to sab kuch teek hojayega"
Geet was even more puzzled now. "Maan kaun?" Now even Dadi and Vicky seemed to sense that something was amiss. "Humara pota Maan.. jo abhi abhi yahaan se gaya" Dadi explained to her with a frown. Is Geet still half-unconscious? She did not even show the happiness of having met her Maan after 2 long years.. something doesn't seem to be right, she wondered to herself and communicated the same with Vicky silently through her eyes.
"Woh MK hai na?" Geet questioned hesitantly, suddenly catching the tension in the room. "Haan beta.. MK hii Maan hai. Maan Khurana.. Maan Singh Khurana.. Humara pota" Dadi said proudly. "Lekin kya aapko uska poora naam maloom nahi? Usse bhi sirf yeh yaad hai ki aapka naam Geet hai aur kuch yaad nahi raha. Isiliye aap tak pohunchne mein hume itni der hogayi"
"Mein kuch samjhi nahi" Geet felt another headache coming on with all the confusion. She did not understand why MK was searching for her and what was Dadi telling about MK?
"Geet beta, jis accident mein aap kho gaye they uss accident ki waja se Maan ko bohut chot lagi. Uski dimaag ko chot lagi aur woh kuch yaadein bhool gaya.. aapke baare mein. He lost his memories of you and him together and all he remembers is that night of the landslide only. Woh 2 saal se apne aap ko bohut takleef de raha hai kyunki woh aapko uss din bacha na sake aur usko aapki saari baatein yaad bhi nahi tha" Dadi finished slowly but was confused seeing the baffled look on Geet's face. She did not understand what had mystified Geet so much even after she had explained Maan's condition.
"Aap kaunsi yaadein ke baare mein keh rahe hai? Mein aapke pote Maan se ek hii baar mili hoon aur woh bhi uss raat bus mein. Hum pehle kabhi nahi mile hai aur uss din mein unhe sirf apna naam bataya. When there are no memories at all between us, how did he lose those memories?" Geet was simply perplexed at Dadi's words but she really did not understand what memories Dadi was speaking about.
"Kya keh rahe ho tum?" Vicky who had been silent all along interjected. "You mean, you had never met Maan before that night? Maan and you are not in love with each other?"
Geet blinked twice to make sure she was wide awake. But for the love of all that is holy, she did not understand what Vicky and Dadi were telling her. "Love? Who is in love? Mein aapke Maan se ek hii baar mili hoon zindagi mein aur woh bhi uss raat. I was on my way from Shimla to Mussourie" Suddenly she seemed to be engulfed in grief but she gulped it aside, "I met Maan in the bus and unfortunately our bus fell off the cliff due to that landslide. Mein behosh hogayi aur ek hafte baad hii mujhe hosh aaya. Mein kahin nahi kho gayi.. uss haadse ke baath mein to aaj tak Nainital mein hii rahi"
Dadi and Pinky were completely stunned at Geet's words. They caught their head and sat still, lost in thoughts. Vicky was slowly beginning to see light and he turned to Geet swiftly. "Please explain everything that happened that night. Please, don't leave out even a single thing" Geet nodded her head and proceeded to describe the happenings of that fateful, interesting night from 2 years ago, that had tied the lives of Maan and Geet together irrevocably.
