Maan got shock when princess pushed him away and he knew something was troubling her "Princess what's the problem?" he asked her cursing the fate because he knew somewhere princess reaction was because of fate's wicked work but this time he is not going to let fate win.

"Nothing Maan! Just leave me alone!" she said to him with attitude.

Maan looked at her and saw different story in her eyes, there was no attitude there, those big beautiful innocent eyes were filled with care, concern and so many more emotion. And those eyes froce him to ask her "Give me one good reason and I will leave you without word!" he told her.

What to tell him now she had a very good reason but she knew that Maan won't believe in her dreams and all. So instead of telling him that she put more fake spoiled princess attitude "Why should I answer you?" she said folding her arms over her chest.

"Because I won't leave you without it!" Maan repiled her.

"Well Mr. Maan singh Khurana I don't want to answer you or see your ugly face so please leave me alone!" she said and turned away to walk towards other side.

Maan didn't buy her attitude so he held her from her shoulders and turn her and so they could be face to face and told her clearly "Listen to me your highness! I am not going to leave you until you came up with good enough reason till then I am with you weather you like it or not or else I am going to carry you towards the palace now!"

"Don't tell me what to do and what not to do!" she told him as she hit his hands away.

Maan smiled and took her face in his hands and said "Geet tell me what you are hiding from me because I am not going to leave you so stop pretending and tell me what bothering you and who had send those men?"

Geet looked in his eyes and wondered how he knew her so well, no one had ever knew her pain, her fears, her sorrows and this stranger here knew everything about her. Pooled emotions in his eyes forced her to open her mouth.

"Maan people are after me, they are here to kill me and they wont mind killing you and if something happen to you because of me, I will never able to forgive myself!"

"Then I have to make sure that nothing happen to me but I am not going to leave you at the mercy of cruel world" he assured her in kind voice.

She looked at him with defeat written allover her face. He smiled at her and asked "Who had sent those men?"

"Dev!"

"Your not gonna be husband send people to kill you?" said Maan with anger filling him.

"Yes!" she replied sadly because she didn't think that he would stoop so low.

"I am going to kill him if he touched you ever again!" Maan told her.

Geet could stop her lips from smiling.

"Where are we going now?" she asked him.

"Have you ever been to camping?" he asked her with huge smile.

Dev was on the top of Sameera, he was kissing her lips, her eyes, her cheeks, her jaws, her neck, her exposed chest but before he took off her shirt there was knock on the door.

He kissed her hard over the lips and excused then left her in bed. Dev pressed button and partition slipped in the middle of room.

He opened the door and saw his most trusted man covered in blood and wounded.

He was expecting to see his future queen bride with him and he return back empty handed and wounded.

He let him in and waited for him to speak.

"Sir! As per your order we went to the hotel to get the princess but that guy was sharp and he was ready for us and then shooting start and all of our men got wounded and some are in bad condition." Rahul informed ignoring his pain.

"He was one man and you couldn't fight him?" Dev asked his man with anger filling his body.

"No he was not alone, princess was shooting at us too!" Rahul told him.

"Rahul search every inch of country and locate the princess and when you know her location then inform me I will bring princess back in my own way!" Dev said wrong intentions surfacing in his mind.

"Yes sir!"

"Rahul see doctor before searching for princess and I want results soon." Dev ordered him and turn his face so Rahul could leave now.

After Rahul left Dev said "No can stop me from marring you not ever yourself and no one can safe you from me now princess!" thought Dev and went towards the bed to explore the lady in his bed.

Geet was standing in the middle of forest surrounded by trees and strange noises. Last three hours were playing in her mind. After Maan told her they were going to stay in forest for while. He took her his home first, they changed their car instead of sports car he loader hummer with all the luggage and camping equipments. After filling the hummer they went for shopping and Maan filled trolleys with food and other basic things alone with new wardrobe for Geet. After shopping he drove out of city and now they are in forest.

She asked Maan when he was driving towards the forest "Why we are going for camping?"

"Because it is most safe place for us now, we cant go my home because they have seen me and that will be the place they will search first, we cant go in any hotel now because they will search all of the hotels now, I cant take you to any of agent's home because I don't want to involve anyone, so this is the only option left now!"

After his long explanation Geet agree to his decision and now she was standing in forest when night is painting the sky black she is not sure anymore. The horrible voices of animals were now scaring her.

She needed to talk to Maan to change his decision.

Geet looked at Maan and lost her words and thoughts, he was tying the robe of tent in its hook. He had taken off his shirt, he was looking so desirable she wanted to move close to him to touch him. Then her eyes stop over his hand and the way his hands were moving over rope Geet had strange desire to feel his hand over her skin. But before she could enjoy new strange desires cry of some animal brought her out of desire world.

She walked towards Maan and held his hand, he seem to understand her fears. He pulled her closer towards himself and said "I am with you!"

His words have soothing effect on her and she felt little bit better. He lit the fire outside and took princess inside the camp.

"When we are inside what's the point of fire outside?" she asked him as she took the bite of burger Maan cooked for her.

"It will keep all the animals away and increase our chances of survival" he replied.

"Princess can I ask you something?" said Maan to princess.

"Yes!" Geet gave him permission.

"Princess why Dev send people after you?" he asked her.

He saw Geet was getting uncomfortable because strange painful emotion decorated her face.

"Look if you don't want to talk its ok" said Maan.

He was about to change the topic when Geet started speaking "You know me more than anyone else in the world and I don't know why but I trust you, Maan! Two reason he wants me first off course you know crown, power and country, second he want me, I was the first girl who didn't accompany him in his room so his ego is hurt and that was the main reason he had send proposal to our family and royals could say now because he pretended to be perfect gentleman in front of them no one know about his colorful life!"

"I will not let him put his filthy hands over you!" he said with possessiveness leaking from each word.

She smiled at him at least she have someone who could protect her from that lusty monster.

At night princess was lying on the bed and Maan was on the floor in large sleeping bag. Geet couldn't close her eyes for a moment thanks to all the strange Goosebumps raising noises. She tried but nothing helped the moment she closed her eyes she heard someone walking near by. She knew it was just her over active imagination but she can't stop her mind she tried. When nothing worked she looked at Maan who was roaming somewhere in dreamland.

She got out off her bed and walked towards him she slowly opened his sleeping bag and slip inside the bag beside him.

As soon as she was beside him he held her softly. His touch has some magic because as soon as he touched her she forgot everything around her. She closed her eyes and let sleep took over her since she was very very tired.
