Part 38
Maan came toward table everyone stood up, maan walked toward geet the flames of anger burning in his eyes. He grabbed geet by her hand and started to move toward their portion, geet frifhtened tried to free her hand.
Dadima,'' maan leave geet hand, what happened, why are you acting like this?'' knowing in her heart that he had found out everything.
Maan remained quiet pulling geet toward their portion, Simran mom tried to stop him, ''have you gone mad maan leave geet, look at her hand, you are bruising her.''
Maan,'' this is between me and my wife, don't interfere in it.''
Geet,'' Maan please let go, you are hurting me, please.''
Dad came and grabbed Maan from his arm .
''let her go this instant.''
Maan,''dad, let me go.''
Raj,''first leave her and then we will all sit and talk calmly but leave her NOW.''
Maan let go of her arm. Simran saw it was red and bruises were already blossoming on it. Geet eyes were filled with tears.
Maan,''ask her.''
Raj,''ask what Maan?''
Maan looked at his calm face suspiciously, then at his mother and then dadima, none of them looked surprised, a bit shocked at his behaviour but not surprised, they knew, everyone knows it.
He angrily removed his arm out of dads and marched towards his room, she had done it again, she had taken a huge step without telling him, just like about shimla he was the last one to know and this time she had done it after he shared everything with her, told her his every secret. She knew he hated shuriya, she knew about Sam. Did she have any idea hoe dangerous shuriya could be? Five years had passed and Sam was still not recovered from what he did to her.
Geet went after him, simran tired to stop her, ''he is too angry geet, let him cool down a bit.''
But Geet felt like her heart was tearing inside, she had to explain to him. She went after him.
Raj to his mother and wife let her go and talk to him, he sighed, they are husband and wife and I don't think he will hurt her as he has came back to his senses a bit.
….......................................................................................................................................
Geet went after Maan, he was in their room, he had thrown his jacket and tie and was opening his shirt buttons, he glanced coldly at her and then, looked away.
Geet,''i had to do it Maan for everyone's sake.''
he kept opening his shirt.
Geet,''he had taken over and I was worried how dar ji will take it and dadi ma made me promise...i was 49% holder,'' her voice was shaking and her sentence were clipped because she did was really worried.
Maan's shirt joined the pile, he took his pants off and went to washroom, the sound of shower hit her ears few seconds later.
She went to wash room door and looked at him but he did not acknowledge her, after shower he took a towel and dried himself, then he moved to walk in wardrobe, seelcted his clothes, blue jeans and blue shirt and put it on, geet trailed after him whole time, tears runing down her cheeks.
He was brushing his hairs, she went to him and tried to hug him but he forced her away.
Maan,''its better for you if you stay away from me.''
geet,''please, atleast try to understand why I did it.''
Maan,''i would have if you told me BEFORE doing it. Now stop shedding these crocodile tears.''
geet,''you have no idea maan, I had to do it, dar ji is really important for me, I wanted to do this for him.''
Maan,''he wanted you to join but not like this and there was no need for you to do it, I was going to do it when he retired and he was happy with it.''
Geet,''he is not your grandfather, he is mine and I wanted to make him happy because of something I did.''
as soon these words left her mouth she realized what she had said in nervousness. Maan face whitened.''your grandfather? Since when yours and mine started coming between us? We call my dadi ma , dadi ma in this house and dar ji, as our dar ji, no one differenciated it but today you are saying your darji? Being husband and wife mean there is no me and you, there is ''us'' but for you, it was always ''you''. It was ''you''when you accepted this engagement, it was ''you'' who decided to go to shimla, it was ''you'' who wanted to know everything about my past. Its always you you and you. And you know what I am tired of ''you.''
Geet was unable to say anything because of tears blocking her throat. Why did she has to bungle up everything?
Maan angrily picked up his wallet and mobile and went out leaving geet standing there. She came to her senses when she heard bang of door, she ran after him.
Geet,'' maan I didn't meant it the way it sounded, please maan, there was nothing you could do if you knew it.''
Maan stopped near his car and looked at her,''no geet I could have hauled his sorry ass to court and make an example out of it, he knew it and thats why he used you guys by accepting his terms you have admitted his right to those shares, we were under terrorist attack that is why share value was down, the court would have ruled in our way but now he has won because of your stupidness.''
he sat in car and went out leaving geet standing in porch with a sinking heart.
….......................................................................................................................
maan came to his flat in city his mind still churning with anger and hurt. Shuriya had stuck where it hurt most, he could bear anything but geet's untrusting behaviour had hurt him deeply. She had always openly confessed her love but she always proved with her actions that it was not like what he felt for her.
His cell phone rang, he picked it up, it was Sam.
Sam,''i just landed in India, I heard what happened and came as soon as I could.''
Maan swore angrily,''what are you doing here, you should be there completing your therapy, why doesn't anyone listen to me, I am going to take care of that bas***d in his way,don't you dare try to stop me.''
Sam,''what else happened?''
Maan,''nothing.''
Sam,''did you fight with geet?''
Maan,''i really don't want to talk to anyone right now.''
sam,''ok, bye, I will call you later.'' she switched off the connection thinking it must be really serious. She thought about what to do next, then she called her agent and asked him to get number of Kashab's head office, after she got the number she called there and asked the operator that she wanted to talk to ridhima kashab. Sorry ma'm no one who is not on her private list is notallowed to call her.Sam, tell her that sameera gupta wants to speak to her. Just tell her and she can reach me on this number.
She waited, within 5 minutes her cell rang, she picked it up and didn't bther to say hello or hi.
Ridimah, its sameera gupta, get shuriya to back off maan and geet and if he didn't then get ready to see your brother in jail.
Ridimah, you won't do anything. Sam,''if he messed with my friends life then I will do it and remember I am a british citizen, the courts there WILL listen to my story and believe it.'' and added,''you must be really happy now nah this is what you wanted? Right see what you have done to your brother. She cut the connection knowing she will not be able to stop herself if she talked to this women any longer.
She took calming breaths and called geet. She was not picking up her cell. She kept trying after every other hour. She picked her cell finally, her voice sounded hoarse.
Sam,''hi its me geet.
Geet,''yeah, I recognized your voice.''
Sam cut the chase and said,'' I spoke to Maan he sounded upset, did you two fought.''
Geet,''i really don't want to talk about it.''
Sam,''may be I can help? I know there are some misunderstandings which can be only be solved between couple themselves, so I won't press you but I will just say that he really loves you, he cares about you very much and when he is hurt, then he hides it with anger. If he is at fault then give him time, he will come around and if you are wrong then don't give him time to harden, try to clear misunderstanding now.''
geet suddenly thought about her shimla decision and asked,''was he hurt with me going to shimla? He said later that it doesn't matter but is it true?''
Sam,''there are many things you don't know but its maan's right to tell you about them but yes, he was really hurt and it deepened with time, but he hid it but don't let it happen this time.''
geet thought what other things but she will work on those later. She said thanks and bye to Sam. She went to wash room and splashed cold water on her tear splashed eyes. How to say sorry? And clear the misunderstandings between us.
…........................................ 2 weeks later..................................................
Geet looked at her white shirt and shawaar again, could she do it? She was sitting on the floor of walk in wardrobe looking at her clothes. Maan was not speaking to her in fact speaking was too much, he was not even looking at her. She was physically tired after all the hard work at hotel and then mentally tired with Maan's silent tantrum.
His mood grew more darker day by day and especially after she came back from office.
She mentally shook herself stop stalling if she can't get him to speak at her but this time he won't be able to look away. She looked at time, 11 p.m. He would be coming in any time now from his study. She heard him come in. she put on her white bra and white shirt really innocent looking. Then, put on shocking pink colour underwear and sheer white shalwar, the shirt was short only came to her thighs and its neck line was demure at front but deep at back. She put the dupatta around her neck like she usually did. Her hairs were up in a elastic band. No make up nothing to mar the innocent look except for that underwear.
She came out of wardrobe and went down to sitting area and sat on sofa opposite to bed. She opened the file and start working on it. Maan who had not initially noticed anything changed into vest and trousers and came to bed. Geet was sitting on the sofa, she put her feet on the table. Something pink flashed at him from corner of his eyes but when he looked nothing. He brushed his hairs and again a flash.
He suddenly saw something pink again from corner from his eyes. He looked at her, she was studying file and suddenly moved suddenly and...was that a...he resolutely tried to look away but it was really arousing especially as he was resisting her attempts successfully for past 2 weeks.
He put the brush forcefully down and went to bed switching off the lights on bed area but now in dark it flashed more at him. He closed his eyes. Geet peaked from above her file...he appeared to be asleep she was disappointed then an idea hit her, she started humming a tune and went to her jewellery box and opened it, there lay her collection of anklets, she picked a pink one which was really heavy and produce lot of sound. She put her leg on dresser, and put the anklet on, she hopped her trembling fingers were not that visible.
She went to her side of bed her anklet causing chan chan chan......
Maan sat up, glaring at her, she tried not to notice him, his eyes went to her shalwaar where her creamy legs were bare and her undergarments were visible as well. She had wild urge to run and cover herself. She suppressed it with effort.
She slid on to her side of bed and turned her back to him. He laid back again, she was really disappointed this time, how to get his attention now?
One moment she was laying on her side with her back and next he had turned her flat on her back again.he lowered himself on top her, his eyes burning into her, there was slight redness on his cheeks and she could feel his desire, her breathing got shallower.
His eyes moved to her lips while his body was rubbing against her...she expected him to kiss her but he tore her shalwaar away, his eyes holding her prison, not an inch of softness in his eyes but a certain kind of madness telling her that she had pushed him too much...his eyes moved to her undergarment, he bent and and moved her shirt up and bit her near her belly button, a current passed from there to her private parts, he kissed a path down to her underwear........geet gasped.....he went mad with desire....he peeled off her slowly....then filled her with himself... the sound of her anklet in rhythm with their movement created a symphony.... then finally just before when their climax hit, he took her lips in a kiss that was drugging in itself....and then, she knew nothing more
