Part 15
Maan: Har ladki main aur us ek special ladki main bohut farak hota hai Geet! He said grabbing her hand and locking her fingers with his and he held her against the wall in the corner of the restaurant.
Geet stared into Maan's eyes and could tell whatever he was saying was coming right from his heart. She turned away her gaze trying not to be affected by his intense one.
Geet: Mujhay nahi pata tum kya kehna chah rahay ho.
Maan: Oh really Geet? He said holding her hand tighter and leaning in closer to her on the wall.
Geet: Maan leave my hand'.
Maan: Abhi bhi nahi samaj rahi he said whispering into her ear and blowing away a loose strand that was grazing her cheek.
Geet: Nahi.. samajh'nahi samaj rahi she said her chest heaving and her breathing shallow she was closing her eyes getting lost in the moment'but then she snapped out of it and pushed him away from her so she could finally breathe'
Geet: Matlab Nahin..Maan tum kabhi saaf saaf baat kyun nahi karthay, ghuma phira ke kyun karthay ho? She said looking up at him
Maan: Toh tum bhi toh apni feelings se bhag thi ho..tumay kya lagtha hai mujhay nahi pata chaltha jab tum mujhay chup chup ke dekthi ho?
Geet blushed embarrassed that she had been caught.
Maan smirked seeing her blush
Maan: Waisay ek baat kahon Geet, jab tum mujhay aisay chup chup ke dekthi ho toh aur bhi achi lagthi ho.
Geet was blushing profusely now and she was trying her best to get out of this situation.
Geet: Main tumhay chup chup ke nahi dekthi samjhe..she lied quickly.
Maan: Yeh aankehin kabhi jhoot nahi bolti Geet he said running his thumb lightly over her eyelid.
Geet: Mujhay jana chaiyay Maan, kahin Raj nahi ajaye.
Maan: Acha toh Raj humein saath dekhle isme problem kya hai? He pulled her closer again this time holding her by the waist.
Maan: Geet meri baat khatam nahi hui hai abhi..tum saaf saaf baat suna chahthi ho na toh suno'I
Geet's heart was beating erratically now waiting to hear Maan's words.
Maan: Geet I lllo'.
Raj: Geet..Geet..? Raj came around looking for Geet
Maan: Geet I..I like you..actually no..i really like you'.nahin main keh raha hoon ke main tumse p'
Geet heard Raj coming and pushed Maan away.
Raj: Maan..? Tum yahan ladies bathroom ke bahar?
Maan: Haan who mein..actually I was just telling Geet that I like her..
Geet looked up at Maan shocked at what he was saying.
Maan continued: I mean I was telling her I really like her dress and was asking her where she got it because Ms. Thomas wants one for her daughter. He blurted out quickly.
Geet: Huh?
Maan winked at her: Haina Geet?
Geet: Yea yea, umm Raj let's go, I think we should finish our dinner now she said moving away from Maan.
She grabbed Raj's hand hesitantly, which didn't go unnoticed by Maan and scooted away quickly to their table, turning once to look back at Maan.
Maan: Koi baat nahi Geet, aaj nahi toh kal tumhare dil ki baat tumharay zaban par aahijaeygi.. aur main bhi tab tak nahi bolunga jab tak tum pehle nahi bologi. Maan stood there and spoke to himself.
They finished their dinner and headed home..
The next morning Geet got a call from her parents.
Geet: Hello Papaji Sasriakal kaisay hai aap?
Papaji: Oye Geet puttar main bilkul fit fatt, tu suna meri puttar kaisi hai, aur teri parhai kaisi chal rahi hai?
Geet: Sab theek hai Papaji.
Papaji: Acha ek zaroori baat karni thi puttar
Geet: Ji Papji boliye.
Papji: Tu ladke se mili na Mansi ne jo bataya tha?
Geet: Ji Papa mili, Geet said hesitanty wondering why her papaji was bringing this up.
Papaji: Chalo changa hai, puttar tu usko achi tarah se dekhle samaj le, mujhay aur teri Ma ko to woh bohut pasand hai..
Geet: Acha..Geet said hesitantly.
Papaji: Puttar ladka bohut acha hai, aur humaray bohut puranay talukat hai uskay parivaar se Hoshiyarpur se hi. Humare mushkil waqt mein bara saath diya tha unhone humara.
Geet: Ji Papaji.
Papaji: Le apni Ma se baat kar.
Geet: Mummyji kaisay ho aap?
Mummy: Main theek haan puttar, geet tunay suna na papji ne kya kaha hai, ladka humein bohut pasand hai, aur humari taraf se toh haan hi hai, bas tu thora aur dekh le usay.
Geet: Acha Mummyji, Geet said a bit dejected.
Mummy: Yeh hui na gal, mein janti thi meri Geet humari koi gal taal hi nahi sakthi. Puttar jab tujhay theek lagay ka toh hum shaadi ki baat bhi agay bharadengay, acha..chal hum rakthay hain, apna khayal rakhna.
Geet: Ji Mummyji. Geet hung up and stared at the phone. Why hadn't she been able to say anything to her parents? Everything had just happened so fast and they seemed quite serious about Raj just as Mansi had told her. It was as if the biggest decision of her life was being forced upon her and tears started welling up in her eyes at the thought. But at the same time she couldn't let her parents down, Geet sat down on the bed with her face in her palms not knowing how to face the dilemma.
Trish came and knocked on her door.
Trish: Geet are you alright? Tu breakfast ke liye bhi nahi ayi abhi tak, are you feeling ok?
Geet: Geet wiped away the slight tears in her eyes. Yea I am fine..woh I was just talking to Mummyji and Papaji so got a bit emotional.
Trish: Aww Geet my poor baby, she sat down next to her one the bed and gave her a hug.
Trish: Waisay Geet where were you last night? Dinner date pe gayi thi kya kisi ke saath, she winked.
Geet: Haan.
Trish: Kya sachi?! Kis ke saath, Maan na?
Geet: Maan, nahin, har baath mein Maan kahan se ajata hai! She screamed a bit annoyed at the mention of his name! Maan is not the center of my life ok..I didn't go with him, I went with Raj .
Trish: Ok cool down, aur Raj.. who's Raj? Trish said surprised that a new guy had entered Geet's life and she wasn't even aware.
Geet took some deep breaths and told Trish everything that happened from Mansi's call upto her date with Raj where Maan was also present at the restaurant.
Trish: What the fudge Geet? Yeh tu kya kar rahi hai apni zindagi ke saath?
Geet: Kya kar rahi hoon?
Trish: Geet it's obvious that you like Maan, toh yeh Raj idiot ko apni love story ke beech kyun la rahi hai.
Geet: What love story?! There is no love story Trish, mummy-papaji faisala kar chukay hai, mere liye itna hi kaafi hai ke they are giving me so much time to spend with Raj beforehand.
Trish: Geet Raj ke saath time spend karnay se kuch nahi honay wala, kyunki yeh tera dil hai na dil she said touching her heart, yeh sirf Maan ke liye dhadaktha hai, samjhi tum?
Geet: What rubbish?!
Trish: It's not rubbish Geet aur yeh tu bhi janti hai, don't run from the truth my love or you'll be left with nothing but regret.
Geet: I don't care Trish, I can't let my parents down, to this day I haven't gone against their word and this relation really means a lot to them.
Trish: Geet meri taraf dekh, she looked into her eyes which still had some traces of tears, main jaanti hoon yeh aanson tere dil ki dabbi khwaishon ke tootnay ki wajah se behrahay hai. Geet teri aankhon mein saaaf dikhtha hai ke tu Maan ko chahthi hai.
Trish's talk reminded Geet of Maan at the restaurant talking about how her eyes never lie.
Geet: Uff these stupid eyes..they are the cause of the whole problem, kya hai meri aankhon mein, she wiped away all the tears rubbing her eyes and smuding her eyeliner..she stood up adamant..kuch nahi hai meri aankhon mein kisi ke liye bhi..samjhi tum Trish..she stomped away angrily from the room.
Trish sat on the bed shaking her head.
Trish: Kitna bhi bhaag le Geet teri kismat to ek ke saath hi likhi hai, aur main jaanti hoon ke woh Maan hi hai. She smiled.
Geet got ready and headed to the hospital, It was a new day and she was going to make things go her way. Maan was going to be a closed chapter in her life, she just had to focus on Raj, he really wasn't that bad if she thought about it.
With this new sense of direction, Geet headed to her internship at the hospital. She quickly entered the empty elevator that would take her to the ninth floor. Today she was going to shadow a pediatrician and she was very excited, she really loved little children. She pressed the button for the 9th floor and stood quietly. She had come a bit earlier then usual and thus avoided the morning rush in the elevator. Geet was lost in her thoughts excited about the little cute kids she would meet today when the elevator stopped on the second floor. The door opened but apparently no one was entering. Geet was pressing the door close button when someone's finely polished black shoes and strong firm muscular hand stopped the door just in time. The door opened and Geet stared up into those very eyes that had been haunting her for the past month now.
Geet: Oh no not again, she thought in her head, already feeling lightheaded staring into the abyss that were his eyes.
Maan: Thanks for holding the do'Maan stopped his sentence midway as he saw that it was Geet in the elevator he entered inside and stood on the left side with his right foot leaning against the elevator wall while Geet stood in a corner in the back trying to avoid his piercing gaze as the door of the elevator shut.
Geet looked up towards Maan, what was he doing here again she thought? She was going to face him and not let her guard down she thought. After all there was nothing wrong with having a normal conversation with him.
Geet: So what are you doing here? She asked curious.
Maan: Oh you don't know, I am interning here too.
Geet: Here at the hospital?
Maan: Yea I have to look into hospital administration for one of my business courses, he said matter of factly.
Geet was surprised at how cool Maan was acting. She thought he would be angry after her ignoring him last night, but he was acting as if nothing happened. Plus now that he was interningg at the hospital as well that meant she would be seeing him around much more, just at the thought of that Geet could feel butterflies in her stomach.
Geet: Oh that's nice, Geet replied. She stood there fiddling with the button of her shirt trying to not create any awkward silences between them both.
As the elevator starting filling up from floor to floor Geet went herself being pushed closer and closer to the side where Maan was standing. By the time they were at the 6th floor, Geet was practically pushed into Maan's solid rock chest . The person that has pushed her said sorry and Geet held onto Maan's shoulder for support while he held her waist so she wouldn't fall.
Geet: Sorry she whispered to him looking up into his eyes and she couldn't help but notice the mischievous glint in them.
Maan smirked as he thought: Dekha Geet tum kitni bhi koshish karo, you always end up in my arms.
Geet: Did you say something? Geet asked.
Maan: Umm no Maan said as he smiled still holding her tightly by the waist as more people entered the elevator and pushed them closer.
Maan couldn't help but admire her slender petite figure. She looked amazing in her fitted collared white buttoned down top and black dress pants which were accentuating her curves. Maan let his eyes roam all over her noticing how her shirt was unbuttoned from the top revealing the soft glowing skin beneath making him want to touch it and feel it's warmth. Maan looked away surprised at where his thoughts were wandering.
Geet felt Maan's gaze on her, she noticed that her hand was still clutching his shoulder and she took it away quickly saying a quick sorry to Maan in the process. She turned around trying to avoid looking at him any further, every time his eyes evoked emotions within her that even she didn't understand.
Geet could feel Maan's breath on her neck as her back was still touching his chest in the packed elevator. Her heart was racing and she was praying that the elevator would get empty fast so she wouldn't have to smell his intoxicating cologne which was creating havoc in her senses.
As they reached the 8th floor most of the people in the elevator got off and Geet finally had room to step away from Maan. She had noticed he was wearing a black collared shirt that was unbuttoned from the first few buttons, and his tie was on rather loosely around the collar. Although the shirt was long-sleeved she could still notice his bulging biceps beneath and wondered how it would feel to be held by those arms, she had to admit she really did love being in his arms'.Geet slapped herself mentally for thinking such provocative thoughts. She took a deep breath and waited as the 9th floor was almost here and her time in the elevator with Maan which seemed like an eternity already would be over. Just a few more seconds Geet she thought in her head, keep calm, you can do this, think about Raj, Raj, not Maan ok!
Geet was lost in these thoughts when she heard the "ding" that signaled the arrival of the 9th floor, the door opened and Geet tried to rush out without glancing once more at Maan, but to her dismay she tripped on the crack as the elevator opened and was about to fall when two strong arms grabbed her hands and pulled her up.
Maan: Geet watch where you're going, he yelled.
Geet: Oh she held on to his arms to help herself up. Thanks Maan she whispered embarrassed.
She tried to steady herself up but had twisted her ankle.
Geet: Ouch, she said as she tried to walk straight.
She was having trouble, when Maan put his arms around her waist again and then around her legs picking her up in his strong arms.
Geet: Maan what are you doing? Please stop this is a hospital.
Maan: Acha toh hospital nahi hota toh this behavior on my part is perfectly fine for you? That's good to know he winked.
Geet: Maan please put me down, I am fine I can walk..
Maan: Nahi Geet let me practice as much as I can, pata nahi agay jaake kab kaam ajaye.
Geet was clutching Maan's collar tight as he was holding her and she noticed his tie getting looser.
Geet: Maan you shirt and tie is getting messed up because of me.
Maan: So fix it he said giving her his million dollar smile as he walked carrying her into one of the empty patient rooms.
Geet took one hand from around his shoulder and buttoned the open buttons of his collared shirt grazing the skin beneath in the process which send shivers down her spine and made her blush. The she took the loose know of his tie and pushed it up towards his collar, adjusting the two flaps around it.
Geet: Umm hogaya she said looking up at him.
Maan: Thanks he smiled. They were in the room now and Geet signaled Maan to put her down.
Geet: Maan please, main theek hoon, I'll just put on some ice and I'll be fine.
Maan: Are you sure?
Geet: Yea I'm positive, you get going you are probably getting late.
Maan put her down on the chair reluctantly. He turned to leave but then he took a few steps back and bend down towards Geet and kissed her on her forehead. Then he touched her cheek softly.
Maan: Take care, he whispered and left the room, leaving behind Geet blushing a crimson red.
The next week passed as such where Geet tried avoiding Maan as best as she could but every so often she would be left face to face with him and many times alone which just added to her discomfort. She made Raj pick her up from her internship everyday so she could get to understand him better, but whenever she was with Raj her mind would just wander off to Maan. She would be so lost in her thoughts of Maan that much to her embarrassment half the time she would end up calling Raj by Maan's name. Geet just couldn't figure out how to escape the attraction she felt towards Maan, but one day in the hospital, it seemed that Maan himself was offering her the answer.
She had woken up late today all due to her crazy dreams about Maan that weren't letting her get proper sleep these days. As she made her way to the 9th floor as she had been doing the whole week, she stopped in her steps when she heard what she was 100% sure Maan's voice coming from one of the patient rooms.
She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop and she really shouldn't have done it. Maybe she was even intruding on a patient's privacy, but she couldn't help but be curious when Maan was concerned.
She heard a girl speaking to Maan.
Girl: Do you love me Maan?
Maan: I love you..I love you Maya..I really do.
Geet stared on from the glass door outside the room as she saw the shadow of two people hugging behind the curtain. A lone tear made it's way down the side of Geet's cheek. She rubbed it off quickly with her head and walked away from the room sniffling away, not caring to hear the rest of the conversation.
