Part 28: Enjoy and please comment!
"Jaldi kar Geet..." called Meera as she did her last two touches on her makeup. " Haan haan.. ek minute yaar..." replied Geet who was frustrated with her earrings. "Acha.. main aati hoon.. i'll get you my other ones"said Meera as she exited Geet's room. " Jaldi aa" replied Geet.
Suddenly, Maan entered their bedroom to find something, but he found Geet struggling with her earrings. Maan quietly went behind her and started to help her out. Geet looked at him in surprise.. " Maan. main karloongi..". " Ek minute Geet.. I have it.. one sec.." as he almost fixed her earrings. Geet could not take her eyes off of Maan. She had tears in her eyes just looking at him... no matter how hard he tried.. she knew that he was hurting. She put her hand on his cheek and said, " Maan.. I'm sorry".
Maan stopped and looked at her... " Geet? kaisi baatein kar rahi ho.. tumhari koi ghalti nahin hai". " Phir bhi Maan.. I know how much you wanted that baby... and I couldn't give you your pari"said Geet as she had even more bigger tears coming out of her eyes. Maan wiped her tears delicately with his fingers and said, "Shh... its okay jaan...". He took Geet into his arms and she cried softly in his arms. " Geet.. its not our time to cry... its time for the other people who hurt you to cry..." said Maan as he broke out the embrace to wipe her tears. " Thankyou Maan..." said Geet as she smiled a little. " Acha... I was wondering.... you and me.. date... here.. late..?" said Maan with a naughty smile. " Maann!" said Geet shyly. "Acha.. I'll think you said yes for our date.." said Maan with a smile. She grabbed his collar and said, " Mr. Khurana.. bach ke rehna". They both laughed and as they turned around they saw Meera standing at their door. She looked at them and wiped her tears. " Geet.. chal neechay.. sab tera intezaar kar rahe hai". Geet nodded and Meera turned around and walked away with a smile.
Maan took Geet's hand at the top of the stairs that let into the ballroom. Everyone turned their attention towards the pair. They looked at both with awe and Maan took Geet slowly down the stairs because she just had gotten a little better. They reached the bottom of the stairs and daadi maa was there smiling at them. She walked upto them and they took her blessings. " Jeete raho" she said to Maan. " Saada suhagan raho"she said to Geet. Maan and Geet smiled at eachother and Maan led her through the room saying hello to all the guests. As they circulated the room Geet heard something from the "gossip girl crew" of aunties. " Haan haan Hetal.. maine suna hai kay kisi ne zeher diya hai Geet bahu ko.. aur bachay ko bhi maar diya" said one of the aunties. Meera hearing this turned around angrily and walked towards the auntie. " mausii jii... mainay suna hai kay aapki bahu and aapka beta aapse alag ho gaye hai?.. agar aapko kuch chahiye.. to bata dijiye ga" said Meera with a fake concern in her voice. The auntie being embarassed just nodded her head and nervously turned her attention towards her friends and started talking again. Meera turned around and walked away. Geet let go of Maan's hand and said, " Main abhi aati hoon". Maan nodded his head and continued talking to his business colleagues. Geet walked upto Meera and said, " Meera.. yeh karni ki kya zaroorat thi.. kis kis ka moo band karti rahe gi". " Geet.. zaroorat hai... and I can't stand anyone saying something like that to you.". "Acha jii... but just don't hurt anyones feeling... I don't want anyone saying anything against our family" said Geet as she hugged Meera hard.
-----------------------------------Devs POV--------------------------------------
Dev was laying in bed beside Naina who was fast asleep beside him. He closed his eyes and remembered that very scene again... the one that turned his life around.. and possibly ruined it.
---------Flashback-------------------------
" I know you're surprised to see me Mr. Dev Singh Khurana..." said the woman. "Geet?? tum yahaan kya kar rahi ho... aren't you suppose to be dead in that cottage"said Dev with a smirk. Geet was in her business attire... and she managed to hide all the scratches and bruises pretty well with her makeup. She did not even look like she had been raped the night before. " I should've done a better job.. damn.. next time" said Dev as he folded his hand across his chest. Geet smirked and said, " That next time will never happen... oh and forget about coming to your office today". Dev knitted his eyebrows together and said, " Why?". Geet walked upto him and handed him the file of his hotel chains. " Since you were in so much debt... the bank decided to sell your company and house.. and clearly, you've written here that you give the bank the full right to do so"said Geet as she folded her arms. Dev grabbed the file and read it. " What the hell?". " What the hell is the right thing to say.. waisay... you know I have contacts with the bank and I've bought your chain of hotels". "You are no longer the owner.. you've cost the company billions in debts.."said Geet with smirk. " Mazak acha hai Geet.. you should've been a comedian" said Dev as he threw the file at her feet. She smirked and dialed her cellphone, " If you really think im joking.. then talk to Mr. Chopra". Dev grabbed her phone and talked to Mr.Chopra... he was arguing and yelling at him. Mr Chopra put down the phone on him and Geet took back her cellphone. " Well.. thankyou for your business.. literally... Mr. Dev Singh Khurana". She smirked and turned around and left through the door and into her car. "DAMN IT.. EFFIN HELL... HOW DARE SHE?" yelled Dev.
------------------------------End of Flashback---------------------------
Dev got out of bed that evening and looked at Naina who was fast asleep. He roughly woke her up and Naina flung her eyes open. She put the sheet over her and said, " kya hua?". "Chalo mere saath.. jaldi se kuch pehno.. aur chalo". Dev put on his clothes and Naina jumped out and quickly got dressed. Dev pulled her roughly out of the house and threw her into the car. " I'll kill you and her for once and for all.. actually the whole family itself.." said Dev as he drove the car roughly.
He grabbed Naina out of the car and dragged her inside of the Khurana Haveli. She was pleading and yelling.. screaming.. He finally reached the ballroom and dragged her inside. Everyone turned their attention towards Dev and Naina. Maan and Sameer looked at Dev with full rage and walked towards him. " Dev. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE.." roared Maan. Dev did not pay heed of his older brother. "" DEV PLEASE.. AISA MAT KAROO.. PLEASE... CHOROO.. TUMNE KITNI ZINDAGIYAAN BARBAAD KI HAIIN.. USKO CHOR DO. PLEASE.." pleaded Naina has Dev grabbed her hair. Dev threw Naina towards Geet and Meera's feet. Geet and Meera helped Naina up quickly and Naina hid behind both ladies. Maan punched Dev in the face and said, " Yahaan se chale jaaoo Dev..." Sameer grabbed Dev and roughly pushed him away. Daadi maa rushed in between the guys and said, " Maan! beta.. kya kar rahe ho.. aur Dev.. tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho". Dev got up and you could tell that he was still a little drunk. Maan was raging in anger... he looked as if he would bury Dev right into the ground where he stood at.
I hope you liked it!
