chapter-32Maan and adi were highly surprised by geet's sudden exit. Though maan sensed the fear and anger in her voice, the exact reason for her denial was still not clear.
Uh, adi, you take rest. We'll talk tomorrow...saying so maan left to geet's room
Geet was standing by the window staring outside, contemplating the current situation when she heard the sound of door opening. She knew it was maan even without turning around as that was what she was expecting.
Sighing deeply she closed her eyes, feeling him behind her. Maan very softly placed his hand on her shoulder and said...
Geet, what happened...??
His voice was calm and gentle. Geet felt the concern and care in maan's voice, but her apprehensions were way too strong to let him know her fears. She controlled herself and turned around.
Maan, aap...you need anything...??
Maan felt more hurt seeing her hiding things from him, but right now he needed to know her problem...
Why don't you want me to expose them...??...he asked ignoring her question...don't you want them to receive the punishment they deserve...??
Geet fumbled trying to cover up...
Woh, it was nothing maan...I, actually its not that I don't want them getting punished. But your coming infront of them is not necessary...she said hiding her shaky voice behind her normal tone.
Maan could clearly see the hidden anxiety behind her words. He cupped her face and very lovingly and asked...
Why do you love me so much, huh geet...??
His plea was so genuine that geet's heart cried at his words and her eyes welled up with unshed tears...!!
I am not worth you geet...he cried hugging her tight...don't love me so much, I don't deserve you...!!
She could feel his pain, his heart was bleeding in guilt and no matter what has happened between them she couldn't let him suffer like this.
Maan please, don't say that...she said supporting him...its not your fault...!!
No geet it is. I didn't trust you and pushed you into the murky abyss of grief and melancholy...!!
Maan burried his head in the crook of her neck and cried incessantly...
I am sorry geet...I am so sorry...!!
Maan I have told you before also, I never blamed you for what you said. It was the circumstances that created the misunderstanding...she tried to calm him.
But maan was no where near stopping. He was burning in self hatred and sheer guilt.
Please geet I am already suffering under the burden of hurting you, atleast let me punish those low lives...he said controlling himself a bit.
She became restless hearing him and separated from him. Seeing her disturbed maan came near her and turned her to face him...
Geet, I know you are worried regarding my safety and I promise to be carefull...he assured her, but she was still not convinced.
Maan you are not understanding...she was frustrated at his stubborness...they are very dangerous...!!
I know geet. I know they planned my accident, but this time I am aware of their intentions and I'll not let them succeed...!!
You don't know anything maan. They have killed people and I can't afford to loose you again...!!...she shouted.
She lost her calm and cried...
You don't know how I have passed these months without you, suffering each moment, craving for your sight. I was dying to have you near me. The very thought of your death killed me within...!!
I can't loose you again maan...she cried louder...I'll die...!!
Maan was stunned at her outburst. He looked at her shattered condition and engulfed her in his warm arms. Nothing was helping her, she was crying even more, literally shivering. Maan had witnessed her weak state previous night and didn't wanted her to go through the same again. He tried shaking her back to reality, calling her name, but nothing worked.
Finding no other option and in desperation to stop her, he smacked his lips on hers and sucked all her pain and sobs. He kissed her with all his love and warmth urging her to respond. His passion overpowered geet's inhibition like always and she surrendered to his demand parting her lips. That was all maan needed. He instantly pressed himself more on her kissing her breathless. Geet snaked her arms around his mane bringing him closer letting her shield to obliterate. They felt each other for long fulfilling their cravings and desires. Their longingness for each other was so evident in their touch. There was no denying the fact that their desire to be irresistibly desired by each other was as strong as ever...!!
Finally breaking away after a long time, panting heavily, maan rested his forehead on hers and relished the moment of their togetherness after such a long time. Geet felt her cheeks burn with the heat of their passion so much so that she couldn't even look into his eyes. Maan sensed her shyness and lifted her face by placing his finger under her chin...
I love you geet...maan said the words ever so lovingly and honestly that geet felt herself totally lost in him
Placing her head on his chest, she kissed his heart and whispered back...
Love you too maan...!!
Maan couldn't believe he was hearing it from her mouth. He knew she loves him, but didn't knew she'll accpet him so soon even after his grievious mistake. He instantly enveloped her petite form and kissed the top of her head.
Geet herself was shocked at her submission. She wanted to stay away from him, but like its not in her capacity anymore. She has gone through hell during this six months when she was away from maan. She has no power in her to continue this. She was tired from fighting against her own love and indeed, her love is way more powerful than her inhibitions...!!
After sometime they came out of their hug and looked at each other with a small smile like their heart was at peace finally. Their world seemed so complete with each other, so serene...so beautiful...!!
Suddenly athought cross maan's mind and he asked...
Geet, why did you said that they have killed people...??...whom were you talking about...??
Geet eyes widened at his question while worry and fear clouded her face. She turned back to leave the room when maan caught her hand...
Please geet, not this time...maan said with a serious voice...don't hide anything, tell me everything. I promise to act rationally...!!
Geet looked at his eyes and gulped the lump in her throat...
Mr. jindal, I mean ronak's dad...she glanced at his face and continued with a shaky voice...he...he killed your father...!!
***************************************************
Delhi...
Dad we are really getting good profit from that new firm...ronak replied casually sitting on the sofa
But ronak, KC is going down. Can't you see it, idiot...??...mr. jindal retorted back furiously
Relax dad, there is no need to get hyper...he replied totally ignoring his father's anger.
Ronak, you are being very careless and too much dependent on that adi...mr. jindal triedto put some brain in him...I don't trust him, he may still be maan's supporter...!!
Ronak turned his gaze towards his father and said in a serious tone...
Dad,first of all I am not careless, I am running KC smoothly. Business mein ups and down hote rehte hain. Moreover maan is dead and as for adi is concern, he'sreally good at his work. It won't be a wise decision to let him go and that too when his maan sir is no longer in this world...he had a nasty grin on his face
Whatever...!!...sighing jindal returned back tohis room leaving ronak alone
Ronak's face at once changed, fishing out a pic fromhis pocket he traced his finger over it...
You shouldn't have done that geet...he said in a harsh voice with a tinge of stubborness in it...I would have given you a wonderful life and above all you left me thirsty...suddenly his tone became dangerous...I still don't believe that you are dead and the day I found you...he let out a small evil laughter and crushed the picture in his fist...!!
*****************************************************
Geet and adi looked at maan, who was pacing in the hall where dadima and dadimasi were also present. The dark dirty secrets that were disclosed by geet has swept the floor from beneath everyone's feet.
The trust and love of khuranas were brutally trampled upon. Never in their wildest dream had they thought of Mr. khurana's death as a murder. Savitri was deeply hurt and shocked to know about her son's murder. The old lady had so much respect for mr. jindal who supported them in their times of need, but now when their true colours are infront of her eyes, she couldn't help but abhorr them for their sin...!!
Maan's condition was no less, infact even worse with the promise he gave to geet as right now everything was coming to him but rationality...!!
His father was his world, his everything and geet knew this very well. That was why she was sohesistant in telling him the truth, but he had the right to know about his father and that she couldn't deny. She was anxiously looking at him with sheer anticipation grippng her soul.
Maan looked towards geet and realized her condition and tried to calm himself. He didn't wanted to hurt her any further, but keeping a check on his anger was a hercules task right now...!!
Somehow controlling himself he politely asked dadi and DM to take rest as their health was his prime concern. Assuring dadi of the justice he sat down with and geet to discuss a plan to squeeze out everything that ronak aspire for or possess...!!
Maan, please you have promised that you'll not come infront of them...geet pleaded
Maan took a deep sigh and replied calmly...
Geet do you trust me...??...his eyes fixed upon hers
She nodded at once without any hesitation which actually gave a sense of relief as well as happiness to maan for he was doubtfull that he may have lost her trust forever, least did he know her trust on him was her only strength. Blinking at her softly he promised to keep his promise.
He turned his gaze to adi and said in a typical maan singh khurana tone...
Book my ticket for delhi. I'll be leaving tomorrow...!!
As soon as maan's words entered geet's ears she spoke...
I am coming with you then...!!
Maan turned towards geet stunned by her demand and said...
Geet, try n understand. I have promised na, so I will not reveal myself infront of them, but I have to go. Moreover its not safe for you to go there, I don't want to you in any sort of danger...!!
Neither do I...she spat back
Geet maan sir is right, you should stay here with dadima...adi intervened...as soon as things will settle, we'll call you there...!!
If maan will go to delhi, I am accompanying him...giving her decision she stormed inside her room.
Maan rubbed his temple at her stubborness, but he knew his mishty was always like that. Asking adi to make arrangements for two, maan got down to his work...!!
*****************************************************
It was a bright sunny day and the whole KC was running here and there like the firm was on fire. Well, though not literally, but fire was indeed approaching KC. A big company was coming to finalise a business deal and preparations to impress the clients was in full swing...!!
Ronak was forced to look after the arrangements by his father for they didn't wanted to loose their precious client, who would be a key to the door of enormous wealth. However, they were oblivious to the fact that the clients whom they are waiting so impatiently will bring forth their impending doom...!!
A black mercedes stopped at the entrace of KC with three cars behind them. Few armed men came out of the cars and one of them, who appeared o be the leader opened the door of the mercedes.
A man dressed in black suit came out of the car in full attitude. He wore a black turban around his head adding to his magnifcient persona. He had an intimidating aura which actually gave goosebumps to every individual present there. Adi instantly came to him and welcomed him inside. Their eyes talked through silent conversation and nodded in approval. They made their way inside the building. Girls were literally drooling over the handsome hunk while men shivered with an unknown fear.
They made their way to the conference room where ronak and his dad were already present alongwith ranjit. Ranjit had joined KC soon after geet's departure.
Welcome Mr. Manjeet Sodhi...ronak stepped forward and extended his hand for a shake...its a pleasure to have you here...he gave a smile boasting of his position
Maan looked straight into his eyes and accepted his greeting. Ronak somewhere felt a bit odd about the client. The way he was staring at them, his eyes, there was something familiar in his eyes, but he couldn't point it out. They discussed the project and finalised the date for the next meeting. Ronak's father was very much impressed with him and was looking forward for a merger with him to get a good name to KC and dominate it completely...!!
As the meeting finished ranjit came to him with a file and said...
Mr. sodhi, this is the details of the project...!!
He moved his gaze to ranjit and was shocked...
What is he doing here...??...maan thought, but then making an unpleasant and mocking expression said...
I didn't knew your peons lack ettiquettes. I have secretaries to handle my files...!!
Ranjit fumed at his comment, but was forced to suppress his anger by jindal's signal. He came forward and replied politely...
I am so sorry Mr. sodhi. Actually he is new here, so please prdon him...saying so he snatched the file from ranjit and handed it over to maan's secretary.
Maan left and returned to his penthouse, he bought two years back from his personal account. He rang the door bell and the door flung open even before the ring was completed...
A very horrified geet came out and hugged him tight right at the door itself...
Maan was taken aback with her sudden hug and an unknown tension crept up his his heart...
Rubbing her back soothingly he said...
Geet, what happened...??...are you okay...??...his voice was full of concern for her
Hearing him made her realize their position and she quickly left him, letting him in...!!
As soon as they entered maan stood right infront of geet and asked...
Now tell me what's the matter...!!
Geet looked here and there not knowig what to say, but maan could clearly read the unsaid emotion in her eyes. Cupping herface ever so gently, he brought his lips closer to hers and pecked her softly...
I am fine geet, see...he said separating from her...I told you they will not recognize me...!!
Now stop worrying and give me a smile. Geet looked at him and smiled placing her head on his chest...
Maan, I am scared. I have got you after so many hardships and...her voice became heavy as tears brimmed her eyes
Sshh...he hushed her...I am here, geet. Right beside you. I'll never leave you jaan...he assured her tightening his hold around her. She felt at peace being in his arms and remained like that for sometime untilthe door bell disturb them.
It must be adi...maan said separating from geet and went to open the door.
Adi and maan sat down in the hall to discuss their plan further while geet went to make coffee for them...
Sir, our plan is working. Mr. jindal and ronak are very keen for a merger...a very delighted adi said
Maan listened and replied calmly...
This is just the first step adi and it wouldn't have been possible without you...!!
Adi gave his typical laughter and said...
Sir, if they are dumb enough to jump on any company without checking the details minutely, anyone can fool them...!!
Hmm, but make sure they don't get suspicious...maan warned while adi nodded sincerely
Suddenly maan remembered something and said...
Adi, who was that guy in the conference room who gave me the file...??
Adi knotted his brows thinking and then replied...
Are you asking about ranjit...??
Yes, who is he...??
Sir, he is ronak's cousin. Joined KC few months ago...!!
What...??...he is ronak's cousin...??...he was shocked
Yes sir, but why are you so surprised...??
Maan looked at adi nd replied...
He is the same guy who came to me in chandigarh with the false case against geet...!!
FLASHBACK...A man entered his cabin and greeted him...
Good after noon Mr. khurana, I am really thankful for agreeing to meet me...he said with a smile
Hmm, can we get to the point straight as I have to leave for delhi...maan said with a serious face...what do you wanted to tell me about geet...??...and how do you know her...??
Easy Mr. khurana, I have come here with an important purpose and trust me you won't regret this meeting...
Maan took a deep breath and listened to him patiently.
I don't think you should marry geet...ranjit said reading his expressions carefully...she is a murderer...!!
Maan was enraged at ranjit's audacity. As the words slipped outof his mouth maan got upfrom his chair and caught his collar in a tight grip...
How dare you...??...his eyes were spitting fire...do you even know whom you are talking to...??
Ranjit was a bit scared seeing his eyes, bucontrolled himself and replied...
I know mr. khurana and I don't say things in air...I have proof for everything...saying so he placed a file infront of him
Maan didn't even wanted to listen to him, but thinking there is some danger for geet, he decided to know his full intentions.
Grabbing the file maan read the content and his eyes widened in horror. It was a police fir copy stating that geet handa is the prime accuse of her father's mohinder handa's murder...!!
What nonsense is all this...??...maan furiously threw the file ranjeet had handed over to him...how dare you say that about my geet...??
This is all lie and I don't need any proofs. I know geet enough...there was a fire in his hazel eyes making it all the more dangerous
I am telling the truth and I have shown you the proof and if you still don't believe me, I have a witness who knows geet much better than both of us...he picked up his cell and punched some numbers
Come inside...!!
Soon a girl clad in churidar entered maan's cabin. Ranjit asked her to sit beside him and turned to maan...
She is sameera, geet's sister...!!
Sameera please tell him whatever you know.
Sam looked at maan and said...
I don't know how you me geet, but one thing I can assure you is that she is a very mean and dangerous girl. She can do anything for money...she paused and suddenly broke down...she killed my father...she destroyed our family just for a piece of land...!!
Maan didn't know what was happening infront of him. But he was not at all ready to accept such outrageous allegations against his geet.
I don't believe you and how can I believe that you are saying the truth, when I know geet enough...maan retorted back.
Ranjit thought his chance was getting out of his hands, so he tried the other way...
Okay,if you know geet that well, she must have told you everything. I mean about her family, why she left HP and came to delhi...??
Maan remebered how geet simply refused to answer his question, but still hs heart was not ready to believe the people infront of him.
Mohinder uncle had boughta land under geet's name and made a clause in his will that her husband would be the owner of the land after her marraige. He fixed her marraige with me, but when she came to know about the alliance and the clause, she took away the land papers, killed uncle and ran away on our wedding night. Police is also looking for her and thats why she came here to delhi to hide from everyone...ranjit was going on and on until he was harshly stopped by maan
JUST SHUT THE HELL UP...maan shouted and asked them to leave before he called the guards and throw them out.
FLASHBACK ENDS...Now I understood why they were there, it was the joint plan of ronaka nd ranjit...maan said as realization dawned upon him, but before he could thnk any further a crashing sound came to his ears. He turned to the direction only to find geet standing with a horrendous expression on her face and shattered pieces of cups lying on the floor.
