Chapter 14 - Urgent Call
Maan was still shocked...and somewhat happy.....mixed with feelings.......Sad......she still has not forgiven him....but yes ...he was feeling happy also...she has opened up..... at least now he knows...where he stands...and what she thinks about him.....
"Oh.......Geet.......I just wish.......I could wipe out those 2 months from your life completely........"
"But Geet...I cannot let you suffer like this..."
He then decided to talk to her.....and went to her room....
She was crying loudly with her face tucked in the pillow....
He came nearer to her...and ran his fingers through her hair....
"Geet..."
She didn't answer...only her cries....
He again tried..."Geet..."
"Maan....I don't want to talk to you....Please go...leave me alone...."
"Geet...Please......."
"Geet...I am so sorry.....You are right....Your pain......Your hurt......loss of your honor.......I can never imagine the extent........I can never feel it........but my pain......of being cause of this........is not letting me live for a single day......Whom I loved most.....I let her go through all this....Your suffering haunts me each and every night....."
She didn't say anything...didn't lift her head......still crying.....
"Geet.....Mujhain laga tha tumne mujhain maaf kar diya hain......when we had spent that night together.......but I was so wrong.....You never forgave me.........."
"Maan.....woh raat maine jo maine maanga tha.......woh apne liye maanga tha......apne dil ko samjhane ke liye chaiye tha......I wanted badly to be loved by you once......." she could hardly say anything between her cries.....she was still not looking at him...her face hidden in the pillow...
[Eng x - that night i had asked for myself....i wanted to console my heart that i was loved once by you....]
"Geet......tum issee pyaar ke liye.......Please mujhain ek mauka do......... main tumhari jindagi main shaamil hona chahta hoon..... I want to bring all happiness to your life........Please give me one chance........Please trust me once......"
[eng x - for this love...please give me one chance....i want to be part of your life..]
"Maan...ab yeh nahin ho sakta.....I have closed all doors to my past......and I don't have anything in my heart for you now...."
"Geet,......I don't believe you........But I don't want to pressurize you.........I am ready to wait my whole life for that one chance from you........"
She didn't said anything......didn't looked at him......sobbing ...and crying.....He also didn't said anything to her........kept on stroking her hair till she slept....and then covered her with a sheet.......and left.
After Few days
Maan didn't dare to call her after the New Year Party......she was so upset with him......and he decided to give her some time........he felt like calling her few times... going to her boutique......but couldn't do so......He didn't wanted to see her hurt face again......"Maan just wait for few more days........he tried to console himself.....
but tonight he is going to Delhi....he didn't wanted to go....leaving things as they were between them.....but he is at Shimla for quite long now....and many of his work at Delhi was stuck because of his absence...
Geet......I don't want to go....but....and he decided to text her....
"Geet...I am going to Delhi tonight...will be back in 2 days...Take care.....Love Maan..."
He knew she will not respond..........
At night- airport
Maan had just checked in his ticket and completed his security check.......He then decided to take coffee......and waited for the announcement......and he remembered 1 month back when he had come to Shimla....how restless was his life.......his soul was now at peace that at least he has found her.....and yes..next ...he has to do lot to win her back.....his heart was not ready to believe that she doesn't feel for him......
"Maan.......you have to do lot.....sirf bolne se nahin chalega......." He smiled...at least now I know...what she feels..... .
Suddenly his cell rang...and he saw it was from Geet.....He was surprised........so is she re-thinking.....? and his heart felt all joys.....
"Geet...a big surprise...."
"Maan ...where are you....I was trying to reach you for last one hour......" He could feel panic in her voice...
"Geet...what happened.....I am at airport....."
"Maan.......I want you urgently here..... Aahana ka accident ho gaya hain......I need you here...." she was crying.
Maan was puzzled....."Geet...is she serious...and why do you want me for her....."
"Maan......She needs blood urgently.......Please come fast..."
"Geet.....I have already checked in.....and in security now......in 15 minutes ...my flight will depart......I will ask Adi to reach you......He will help you...."
"Maan ....I want you to be here....urgent.......Please......." she had now started crying.....
"Fine Geet........where are you..."
"City Hospital, Mall road......."
and then he didn't think for a single moment......if she is saying urgent......then something is there.......he came out of security.......airport and took a taxi to the City hospital.......He was totally confused.......why Geet is so troubled.....and who is Aahana ...then he remembered...she had said her apartment mate......but then why she wants him to give blood for her......so urgent ...that she asked him to leave the flight.....May be she is very attached to her......he thought.
@City Hospital
He reached there and saw her standing on the entry only...anxiously moving....and as she saw him...she came running towards him...
"Maan .......please come fast...." and dragged him inside.....making him more puzzled......but he decided not to ask her anything....Her face was so much dis-shelved.......she was looking as if she had been crying a lot.........
She took her inside...and they met the Doctor.......
"Doctor.......Please check his blood.......His should match......" her voice suddenly was filled with confidence.......He went with the Doctor...and then they decided to take his blood ...as it matched.......he could see ....sign of relief on her face...
After some time...he came out......saw her seating on the bench....looking grim....
She looked at him...but didn't said anything......and he also didn't ask her anything....embraced her...and tried to console her.....
After 1 Hour....the Doctor came out....and smiled at them....
"The operation is done.......We have given her blood......she is recovering........and she will be coming to senses soon........She is shifted to her room......you can see her...."
He could see happiness on her face.....smiles in her eyes......
"Geet......now will you please say some thing........"
I know all knives will come out...but I am not giving away...Keep guessing
