Maaneet FF-Till Death Do us Part-Thread 1 - Page 71

Guys, lot of you are asking for Maaneet confession…all is can say is please have some patience…I am shortcutting Adi-Pinky relationship to bring it forward but please it will take some time.

There are some twists coming up in future but I want their relationship to be cemented before that happens.

Chapter 30 – Someone is angry

Five weeks later

Adi and Pinky had a small ring ceremony four weeks back and their marriage was scheduled next week. Geet was waiting in select city walk mall for Maan to help him in shopping a gift for their wedding.

Geet was sitting at Costa coffee inside the mall. A waitress came and asked "Do you want anything else?"

Geet glanced at 3 cups of tea she had already consumed. She felt acidic and irritated. "One choco muffin please"

She called once more just to hit the answering machine again. Maan entered the coffee shop to see her literally murdering the muffin with her knife.

Maan – "God…please save me…I am sure she is imagining me in place of that poor muffin"

"Ummm…Hi"

She looked up with eyes which were red with anger. She just glanced at her wrist watch and Maan flinched "I am so gone today".

"Please please honey, actually an emergency came up"

She got up angrily and stormed out even before Maan could complete his sentence. She stood on the road looking for a taxi. Maan followed her outside – "Please yaar, meri baat to sun…sach mein emergency thi"

Geet just looked at him icily "Dr Khurana, I know your work is very important to you. Who will know it better than me? But let me just tell you that my time is also important even if not as much as yours. You could have at least called. Par nahin…hum to Maan Singh Khurana hain na…attitude to humari naak pe hai"

"Oh come on Geet, ab tum bahut zayda…"

"Kya zayda…"

"Nahin mera matlab, tumhein bhi pata hai aisa kuch nahin hai…I was in so much hurry isiliye phone nahin kar paya"

Geet – "thik hai lekin ab mere pass time nahin hai." Saying that she flagged a taxi

Maan knew it was useless talking to her in this state. "Thik hai…let's go home we will come for shopping tomorrow. Abhi to shaadi mein ek hafta hai na baba"

Geet totally ignored him and started sitting in the taxi.

Maan held her hand "kya kar rahi ho tum…main ne kaha na sorry…chalo mere saath"

Geet tried to free her hand by removing his hold with other "chodo mujhe"

Taxi driver - "madamji chalna hai ki nahin?"

"Yeh kaisi zid hai Geet. It is not safe…raat bhi bahut ho chuki hai…chalo mere saath"

Next what she did was something Maan had not even thought of in his wild dreams (ok maybe in wild dreams but not in this context…ahem …ahem)

She bit him hard on his hand and Maan slacked his hold with a yelp. Geet hastily sat in the taxi closing the door and taxi moved ahead even before Maan could realize what the hell just happened

Geet was fuming when Taxi driver asked "Madamji yaar se jhagda hua hai kya…jaana kahan hai"

Geet saw the smirk on taxi driver's face and realized the danger. Delhi's taxis are not that safe and it was pretty dark outside. She did not want to give him address of her home which was in a secluded posh area. There was not much traffic on road and it could get dangerous. She just asked him to take her to office which was on a busy commercial street.

Geet's self thought – "Aaj itna kam bhi rah gaya us gadhe ki wajah se….kuch kam hi kar leti hoon" She asked for an office car to be ready and then immersed herself in steel plant file. She put her phone on silent so that she could catch up on some work.

Meanwhile, Maan reached KM and started waiting for her to reach home. He didn't say anything to anyone at home because he knew they will get really mad for putting Geet in such a position. He was angry himself – "I know I got late…par yeh kya tarika hai" He thought massaging his hand which was till red because of the bite. "Uski bhi galti hai par sab mujhe hi bura bhala kahenge"

As time passed by his anger turned to worry. It was 10:30 PM and two hours since that fiasco at mall. "Why isn't she here? God…please let her be safe"

Maan was now really worried. He had called her multiple times and she hadn't picked the phone. He was at wit's end. He held Rahul's arm and dragged him to front garden.

"Arre…aaram se…kya hua Maan…you looked so tensed"

"Woh…" Maan quickly narrated what happened in the evening "I am really worried Rahul…please I just hope she is safe" Rahul wanted to hit Maan for letting Geet take a taxi but stopped seeing his moist eyes. He could feel Maan's tension and remorse.

"To fikar mat kar…main kuch karta hoon…let me talk to security…they will try to get some information. They will also trace her phone to get her whereabouts"

Saying this Rahul strode inside home to track his sister. Maan stayed outside gazing at the stars. "Please God don't let anything wrong happen to her…please"

Oblivious to the mayhem she had created, Geet reached KM in the office car. She got down to find a pacing Maan muttering under his breath.

Geet st – "Chalo chado…ab bahut ho gaya…I think he got the message…ab aise nahin karega aur ho sakta hai kuch zayda hi badi emergency ho...Hai na"

Maan was totally lost and did not even realize Geet was standing behind his back.

She touched him slightly on his shoulder to get his attention "Hi"

Maan turned and words died in her mouth as she saw the expression of agony and concern on his face. Maan just engulfed her in his arms "I am sorry…I am really sorry…please …tum thik ho na….tum thik to ho na"

Geet's soul was touched by his anguish. She didn't know why he was so disturbed but she embraced him back. Her one hand was around his neck while she brushed the second one on his back "I am fine…I am ok…shant ho jao…kuch nahin hua mujhe' She kept on murmuring soothing words in his ears till she felt him calming down a little.

He let her go but was still visibly upset. Geet tried to pacify him "I am sorry…mujhe nahin pata tha…woh mein"

Maan stopped her by putting his finger on her lips – "Mujhe kuch nahin suna…main kuch nahin jaana cahta…just promise me that you will never do this again. Shout at me, hit me, chabi cheen lena mujhe if we have only one car and you don't want to be with me. All that is your right but promise me you will never ever do something like this again"

Geet felt goosebumps at the back of her neck. His concern along with his closeness and thought of his finger on her lips was driving her crazy. She was getting overwhelmed seeing his emotional outburst and just managed to whisper against his finger "I promise"

Just then Rahul came outside "They are tracking "he stopped short seeing her "Aa gai tu…where the hell have you been…pata hai hum kitna pareshaan ho rahe the?"

Maan pulled his hand down. Geet asked widening her eyes - "ghar mein sabko pata hai"

"Nahin just mujhe aur Maan ko…lekin tera dimag thik hai…where were you"

Geet sighed with relief "sorry bhai…who mujhe taxi waale ko yahan ka pata nahin dena tha as this road does not have much traffic. So I went to office and then because I had missed some work today I just thought of catching up on it" She said lowering the voice while mentioning about work

Rahul was livid now "work…haan tera only love in life…uske ssamne tujhe kisi ki kahan fikar hai. Pata bhi hai Maan bechare ka kya haal hai"

"Ab sorry kaha na…mujhe kya malum tha tum log itni tension le loge" Geet started to argue back.

They went inside and had their dinner.

Geet was trying to sleep but Maan's tortured face kept on coming in front of her eyes. She felt guilty for putting him through this. "I don't know about love but he really cares for me so much…I will make it up to him tomorrow"
