Part 5:
Geet stood in place looking as Maan went and started talking to the others. He was smiling and laughing like nothing had happened. But in that moment when Geet had fell on top of him and what he said about her eyes, Geet couldn't get over that moment. She was lost in the feel of his touch.
Just then Trish skated over to her.
Trish: Wah wah Geet, tunay toh kamal kardiya, I am impressed.
Geet: Maine kya kiya?
Trish: Ok ab anjaan mat ban, I saw how you were all over Maan.
Geet: I was not!! I just fell and he helped me up..
Trish: Sure'sab janti hoon main jaana she winked. Anyway chal I need to discuss something with everyone.
Geet started to walk on the ice slowly and she felt a tinge of pain in her foot, she ignored it and used the edges of the rink to walk over to the others.
Maan smiled at Geet as she came over and she blushed.
Trish: Ok guys I gotta tell you all something.
Jai got all scared: Hai ab mainay phir say kuch ghalat toh nahi kardia?! Ya ab yeh kaunsa weird plan bana rahi hai? He thought in his head.
Trish: So as you all know Christmas is coming, like duh, who doesn't know that, anyway you know we girls love presents and all, and I felt bad for you boys so I thought we should have a Secret Santa thing so even you guys can get some presents this time.
Sharon: OMG that sounds totally awesome.
Trish: So yup I am gonna send out random emails to everybody through Elfster and it's just between the six of us and whoever you get you have to get them a present for Christmas!! So deal everyone?!
They all agreed.
Geet: Wow this should be interesting.
They all went to take off their skates.
As Geet was taking off her skates, she yelped in pain.
Maan came over to her followed by the others.
They looked at her foot, she had a cut near her ankle and was bleeding. The area around her ankle was swelling like crazy.
Maan saw and he immediately took a handkerchief out of his pocket and wrapped it gently around her cut.
Geet was amazed at his gesture and at that moment forgot all her pain.
Sharon: OMG Geet you are hurt so bad. I think we should go home.
Trish: Not we, Geet should go home'I mean we've barely been here an hour we can't all just leave now.
Sharon: But someone needs to go with Geet nah.?.I can'.
Trish pinched her right then and mumbled: Samjha kar samjha kar, don't offer for no reason, just watch..
Maan: Yea I think you guys shouldn't spoil your plans I can take Geet to your apartment it's fine.
Trish: Awww r u sure Maan? (slyly she winked at Sharon that her plan was working)
Maan: Of course it's absolutely fine.
Vicky: Ok dude I guess I'll see you later then. Give me a call when you get back to your apartment gotta discuss some work stuff with ya.
Maan: K I will. He said bye to the others and then went and took Geet's hand who was still sitting down. Chalay?
She looked up at his eyes and warm smile. They walked towards the subway and Geet was limping.
Geet: Mr. Mysterious, where is your taxi when we need it, ugh it's getting impossible for me to walk any further.
She was leaning in on Maan's shoulder trying to keep her balance and she walked. Plus the cold wind blowing in their faces wasn't helping.
Maan laughed: I can't bring the taxi everywhere with me now, plus I get it in the morning remember, wow you forget stuff I say so easily, I see how it is'.
Geet: No I don't. She remembered how he complimented her eyes and her laugh. Not if it's good things. She blushed.
They had reached the subway now and the stairs were really down, Geet didn't know how she was going to climb down all the stairs. She looked at Maan.
Maan: Well I hope you don't mind, but I am going to have to do something I never thought I would get to do'.
Geet got scared..what was he gonna do.
Maan took her hand off his shoulder and bent down and picked her up.
Geet: OMG no, I'll figure something out please don't do this what will people think.
Maan: Oh come on it's just till the end of the stairs, you can close your eyes so you don't have to see people's expressions he laughed.
Maan: And btw you look skinny, but you are quite heavy.
Geet: Haaww!!!
Maan laughed and she had her hands around his neck as they walked down the stairs. She felt so safe in his arms and she cuddled in a little trying to get warmer.
They reached the turnstiles and Geet was so happy in Maan's arms she didn't even realize.
Maan: Ahh Geet you can get off now unless you want to sit in my arms in the train as well, I am sure people won't mind.
Geet: Oh'her cheeks got red, embarrassed, she got off.
They got on the train and sat down on the long seats that could seat 5-6 people.
Maan: Is it any better, your foot?
Geet: Not really.
On the next stop a young white guy came and sat next to them. He looked at Geet and kept staring at her. When the train jerked to the next stop he kind of slid into Geet.
Maan gave him an evil glare and he said sorry. But he kept staring at Geet regardless.
Maan just couldn't stand it anymore, he held her hand and then he picked up Geet by the waist and moved her across his lap to his other side and held her tight by the shoulder.
Maan: You ok baby? He said while giving the white guy the dirtiest look ever. The guy just turned away and moved away from them.
Geet was shocked first at the way that he had picked her up like that and then called her baby: Baby?!! She said
Maan gave her a cute smile and still held on to her shoulder tight.
Then finally their stop came and they both got off, they got into Geet's residence hall and took the elevator up.
They entered Geet's room and Maan helped Geet sit on her bed. Then he got the first aid kit and took off his handkerchief from around the foot and then applied an alcohol swab on the area. He also got some ice for her swelling ankle.
Geet just stared as he took care of her like that. This guy was so sweet and just in a few meetings she felt so close to him like he was her own.
He put a band-aid on the area and then got up to leave.
Maan: You take care ok, baaaby he winked.
Geet: Umm, wait I wanted to ask you something..why did you do that on the train?
Maan: What did I do?
Geet: You know'she blushed..picked me up like that?'.
Maan: I didn't like the way that guy was looking at you so I did that..simple as that.
Geet felt so happy for some reason hearing that. She smiled.
Maan: Actually Miss Geet I wanted to ask you something.
Geet: Yea go ahead..
Maan: Well I was wondering if you would be willing to go out with me tomorrow, just the two of us you know?
Geet: Are you asking me out on a date?
Maan: I guess you could say that Miss Geet, he smiled'
Geet: I think after all this you can call me Geet now right?
Maan: Haha ok then Geet, so what do you say?
Geet: umm actually tomorrow I need to go shopping with the girls. Is Sunday ok?
Maan: Ok Sunday done! But yup keep in mind that I didn't say date you did so now it is up to you to make this an ideal date, he winked.
Geet blushed.
Maan: Ok then will see you Sunday.. and he left.
Precap:
Chehra tumhara hai kitna pyara dekhay bina mera ho na guzara'.
