Part: 40
Let the game begin
Geet manages to find a small apartment for rent that day. She considered herself really lucky to find herself a place in such short notice, but she did before nightfall. As she takes her first step in, Goosebumps and chills of loneliness start to creep inside her. She brushes it aside and tells herself that this loneliness would only be for a little while. She slowly tries to make her new place feel like home. She opens up her suitcase to unpack and puts her clothes in her closet. When she was almost done unpacking her eyes fall on his picture.

She had taken it from the outhouse. Maybe Maan didn't want to remember her, but after surrendering her heart to him last night she couldn't imagine a day without him. He was her life now. She slowly caressed his face and thought to herself, " I miss you Maan, you can't kick me out of your life that easily . . . at least not without a fight. I will be back!" she says with sheer determination and gleam in her eyes. She lies on the bed holding Maan's picture close to her heart before drowsing away to sleep.
**********************************************************************************
Next morning geet was up bright and early and was sipping on some coffee looking out her window and just pondering on what to do next how to win this game. After a while her eyes glisten and a smile starts to creep on her face as a mischievous idea pops inside her head.
Geet: Although I wanted to start my main plan tomorrow, I don't want today to go to waste. So lets have some fun today!
She hurriedly gets dressed and even puts some things in her bag before leaving her place as if she was on some sort of secret mission.
**********************************************************************************
Maan to get his mind busy from the recent events in his personal life came to work to engross his thoughts in as much work as possible so no other memories or a particular person could be able to wiggle their way into his mind.
He was deep in thought as he was reading through on some big client's project that was coming from London for a meeting today. Even though it was lunchtime now and most of the employees were on their lunch break, Maan was still focusing on his work and flipping through files.
A particular person was observing him through the window. She hadn't seen him in one whole day, but to her it felt like eternity. She noticed the dark circles around his eyes and the crease on his forehead, which he probably had for the anger that was still displayed on his face. Geet could not understand why Maan was distancing himself from her, but could feel his fury and anxiousness and just wished he realized the reason why and accept it too.
But then she snapped out of her emotional thoughts and reassured herself, " That is why I am here hai na!" she says with a wicked smile and decides to make her move. She thanked the heavens that everybody was mostly on their lunch break. She felt even God was on her side and was giving her an advantage to win this game.
She finally makes her move and lightly knocks on the glass window. She had butterflies in her stomach and was getting anxious even at the thought of her losing control once her eyes met his. Except Maan didn't even notice her knock so she tries a little bit harder this time and that is when Maan's eyes fall on her and catches her brown almond shaped eyes. Seeing him looking at her like that almost knocked the breath out of her. Oh how she longed to be in those muscular toned arms and feel his sensuous touch. He looked so sexy in his office attire something she hadn't seen in almost a week and had missed dearly.
She snaps out of her thoughts and focuses on her plan. She could feel her cheeks getting hotter and turning pink at the mere thought of what she was about to do, but she goes ahead with it anyways. She sensuously and seductively bites her lip and starts to slowly unzip her jacket . . . he was sipping coffee when his eyes fall on her, but then suddenly spits out all the coffee seeing the site that was in front of him. He only took two or three seconds to clean his mouth with his hanky, but then when he steps out of his office the shock hits him harder to find there was no Geet. She hid herself as soon as maan hesitated and cleaned himself.
Maan just ran a hand through his hair and mentally just slapped himself to wake up and get a grip of himself. "WHAT THE HELL AM I IMAGINING" he was screaming to himself in his mind. "And that too about . . . Geet" he hesitated to even say her name.
Even thought Geet hid herself she saw Maan's reaction she made sure to be able to see it.
"Mr. Maan Singh Khurana get ready to enjoy the rest of the ride. You wanted to play this game, well than maybe next time choose an easier and less cunning opponent . . .This is Geet you are playing with and I am going to make sure you understand that" she mocked and quickly runs to the bathroom to initiate the next part of her plan leaving a confused Maan.
She changes clothes to a simple white salwar kamiz. As she is coming out she feels a tug on her dupatta and she haults in place thinking Maan had caught her. She slowly looks back and sees it her dupatta had got caught on the bathroom door. She lightly hits her forehead with her hand and chuckles a little. Maan was talking with one of his employees when he again finds himself lost to geet watching her every move and cute expressions. Geet didn't even notice maan's eyes were on her.
"sirrr . . ." his employee says a bit loudly to get his attention. Geet releases her dupatta from the door's grip and when she adjusts it on her shoulder she sees maan only a couple a feet away. She becomes rooted in place not knowing how to escape, but thank god he was looking at his employee and talking to her now. Suddenly Geet gasps as something covers her mouth and pulls her away.
" what were you saying" Maans says looking at his employee now. When she was about to ask him again he suddenly says, "listen go to my cabin I will just talk to you there after I get done with something". The employee although a little annoyed quietly listens and goes to his cabin. He then turns to go to the direction he saw geet but again she was gone . . . disappeared into thin air!
Maan: She was so real. I can't be imagining!
His hand unconditionally stretches and touches the door of the bathroom, which was enough for him to get a familiar tingling feeling. His heart was telling him more like screaming to him that she was here, but his brain couldn't believe in this fact and was telling him " If she was real than where is she???? You are only imagining Maan because'" He doesn't allow himself to let his mind continue in the direction it was heading and was trying to tell him. He winces in pain, but continues to walk all the way down that hallway, as if something was pulling him there. His eyes knew what they saw and continued to search for that site which only lightened and brought an unknown sense of comfort and happiness inside Maan's heart.
He closes his eyes in disappointment to find no Geet and leans against the wall. This was not going to be as easy as he thought. How was he going to forget her if she was all over his mind. Everywhere he goes she was there.
From the corner of her eyes Geet sees maan and wanted to scream for help, but someone's hand was covering her mouth. Maan clinches his fists in pain and bangs the wall before storming off to his cabin. Geet than gets an idea and tries to bite the person's hand.
"Aahhh" he screams, Geet turns around ready to punch the person who dared to treat her like that, but stops midway and sees it was none other than Vicky.
Geet: OH my God I am so sorry Vicky. Does it really hurt? I think I bit you hard'look how red it is!
Vicky: Oh I could just kill you right now Geet, but I rather take all the pain you want to give me just don't leave us like that yesterday.
He quickly comes and hugs her. " I missed you so much in just one day. When you left the whole house went empty. Nobody can even talk to Maan now. He is back to his old angry self. But I am so happy you are back so soon. The way you were talking I thought you would be gone for a long time. You know you could of at least told me."
Geet: Acha sorry baba. I missed you too. To tell you the truth I didn't know what I was going to do when I left, but now I kind of have an idea in what direction to head.
Vicky: Is that to get killed by Maan. What are you doing here? If I didn't pull you out on time you would of have gotten caught unless you wanted to get caught???
Geet: Yeah thx for that. That was a really close one. I am trying to make Maan realize he can't live without me...SO I keep on appearing and disappearing in front of him and I think he is realizing that no matter where he goes or tries to do I will always be on his mind" she says with a smirk.
Vicky: oh hoyyyeee I think some of my genes rubbed off on you'that is my sister! Naughty like me.
He raises his hand for a high five and geet smiles back giving him a high five.
Vicky: okay now tell me what do you want me to do to help.
Geet comes closer to his ear and whispers everything slightly changing her plans, as now Vicky wanted to help so she used that to her advantage. Vicky even added some ideas as well making it both a spicy and hot thrill in store for poor Mr. Maan Singh Khurana.
Pre-cap:
He turns to go back up the stairs and into the building, but in just that fraction of a second he freezes in place. Maan felt his breath catch yet again and his heart started to flutter uncontrollably. No matter how hard he tried to not look back and to just run into his cabin . . . to run away from the situation as fast as he could he could not gather up the strength to do so.
