Maneet SS 'Love is Blind' NOTE page 151 - Page 12

One reminisces and one detests the past

Geet panics and turns the lights off quickly. She slowly comes to bed and puts the spread over herself. She looks out and takes a glimpse of the moon. What was she looking for? She needed love and care, which she hasn't been getting recently. Her heart felt empty, deprived of love. It had become a routine for her not to eat dinner, as she would wait to eat with Dev together, but she couldn't even remember the last time they ate dinner together. A tear escapes from her eyes and soon her eyes become drowsy and she falls asleep. Hoping that with tomorrow's sunrise she would get her Dev back.

Dev's alarm rang at 6:30 a.m. He tries to reach over and turn it off but something was holding him back. He fully open's eyes and sees it was none other than geet. She was cuddled up against his arm and had a sweat smile on her face. A smile that any other husband would cherish and lose himself too, but Dev seems to have become immune to it. " Oh Gosh Geet, get off me! I have to go to work now"!

Except Geet was lost in her dreams where only her and the dev she knew existed, which explained the innocent smile she had on her face. With that not working it resulted in Dev grabbing her and shoving her to the side. She wakes up so startled and frightened as if someone shook the life out of her. She looks up to him confused, but he didn't even bother to explain what just happened or why he just did that. He just gives her a glare and goes inside the bathroom. Geet just looked at his retreating body. There was no proper greeting between them anymore. Those days were long gone. How she missed his sweet good morning kisses that trailed all the way down her neckline. She snaps her eyes open and the grim reality comes crawling in. Hope was all she had and maybe'.just maybe'tomorrow when she wakes up she would find that dev again'

Geet tidied up, picked out Dev's clothes and went to make breakfast. Dev comes out fully dressed in business attire. He Just grabs a cup of coffee and before heading out the door says, " I will be coming home late tonight'Don't wait up".

"Bang" the sound of the door echoed through the lonely atmosphere of the apartment, sending shivers all the way down geet's spine. Geet eyes were welling up in tears, threatening to spill out, but she took a deep breath and composed herself. She had to be strong and by crying she was not going to get anywhere. She walked up to a portrait of Dev and her enjoying themselves along a beach. She held it close to her heart and let herself reminisce all those sweet memories, which was all she had left. "Dev..when will you come back to me?" she murmurs in pain.

*******************************************************************************

His morning started like any other day at 6:30 a.m. He would straightly go to his private gym and workout for about an hour. Than take a shower and get ready for work. Nakul would prepare his breakfast and he would eat it all alone, although Dadima would love to eat with him, he was the one who preferred to be alone. Being lonely didn't bother him'it was his only friend. He was always surrounded by it since childhood and has stuck with him ever since.

Moments later'.

A black Mercedes Benz stops in front of Khurana Constructions. A bodyguard comes out and opens the door. A man with polished black shoes in business attire steps out of the car. He starts walking and two bodyguards follow him.

He gets into the elevator going towards his floor. He gets greeted by his employees, but doesn't even glance at them, let alone reply to them.

" Maan sir" his accountant, Adi says resulting Maan to stop in his tracks. The way he glances at him and the seriousness and angry man look made poor Adi so frightened that he always stuttered in front of him, not helping his situation at all.

"Wohhh'.Mmmaaannn Sirrr'." Adi began to stutter again.

" Theek hai send him in 10 minutes and send Tasha to me immediately" he says before heading to his cabin.

Adi just wanted to faint right there. How was he going to tell her that she quit not being able to handle his antics and attitude?

It didn't take two minutes where maan threw the file at one of his employees.

"This is not the file I asked for! Where is Tasha??!!!" he raged out to the poor employee.

She was almost on the verge of tears seeing his anger'It was thank to Vicky who arrived in time that she was able to escape.

"Who sirr'" she tries to tell Maan, but Vicky gives her the signal to leave. She breathes in a sigh of relief and leaves as fast as she could.

Vicky turns his head and glances over to Maan. Vicky was not just Maan's deceased father's best friend's child or his business partner or even his friend'.he was like his own brother! Who even sometimes knew Maan better than himself. Looking at maan he sees his eyes filled with so much rage'Kyun? For a simple reason for bringing the wrong file he is showing this much anger?

"Looks like someone didn't get enough sleep last night'kyun.. koi larki toh nahi?" he teases trying to lighten up his mood.

But Vicky didn't know how much truth was behind his words. Instantly when Maan closed his eyes in anger her face covered with a veil, only showcasing the pain in her chocolate brown eyes popped into his head. He opens his eyes immediately not being able to handle those eyes anymore. He glances over to Vicky and gives him an angry glare'for reminding him of her'who ever she was!

" Take it easy Maan I was only kidding with you. Tumhe kya hua hai?" he says a little worried now.

How was he going to tell him that he was being haunted by a pair of brown eyes where ever he goes'.A pair of WOMAN'S eyes!

He never liked woman. He always thought of them as devil's masked by their beauty. Now he has millions of women' fida over him'but 10 years back they would never even glance at him. He was a weakling and also never did well in school. He didn't know what he wanted with his life. He was only filled with hatred after losing both his parents, nothing else mattered to him anymore'he felt so alone. But just like any other Highschool boy student he had a crush on the hottest diva in school, Sameera. He would stare at her like a dork and everyone sort of found out that he liked Sameera. Sameera and her friends were playing truth or dare one day and she got dared to go out on one date with Maan. Even though she didn't want to she performed her dare. Maan felt like he was the luckiest guy on earth. He felt like maybe God had decided to have mercy on him and give him some happiness in his life. The next day when he went to meet Sameera at her house he overheard her conversation about their date with her friends.

***********************Flashback**********************

" So how was your date with Maan last night Sameera?" her friends chuckled.

Those were not words that Maan heard but daggers and spears to his already lonely heart'already shattered and unhappy life. A tear threatened to spill out of his eyes as his body filled with anger. He drops the flowers that he held in his hands and crushed them against his feet and made a promise to himself that he would show the world who he is'..Who the HEIR of the Khurana Empire is! He was going to change himself into such a powerful image that not only the state, but the whole country would marvel over him and remain in awe. He wipes away the tear instantly and looks up to the sky and makes that promise to the world.

******************************End of Flashback*********************************

"Maan'" Vicky shook him to get his attention. " Are you okay?" Maan snaps out of his past memories, but took a couple a seconds to gain back his composure from his disoriented thoughts.

" uhhh yeah I am fine Vicky" he retorts back.

"Are you sure? You seem so out of it today" he asks concerned.

" Vicky you know I don't like repeating myself. I said I am fine" he says looking into his eyes.

" No need to worry unnecessarily for me!" he says putting his hand on his shoulder and reassuring Vicky with his eyes.

Vicky leaves to call Dev, but his heart was not willing to believe that Maan was okay'something was bothering him'something that he was not even willing to share with someone who is like his own brother.

Maan runs his hand through his hair as he looks out the window to get some fresh air. " You don't want to leave me in peace brown eyes" he questioned God knows who? Now those chocolate brown eyes seemed to haunt him in broad daylight as well. What was fate playing with him this time? It never seemed to pave out a path of happiness for him, so what did it have planned for him is the question that lingers.

After leaving Khurana Constructions, maan headed over to his car that chilly night when unexpectedly someone bumps into him. He looks up to see a retreating figure rushing away. She looked back only for a few seconds and that is when he saw them, those chocolate brown eyes.
