Geet closed her door and leaned on the door, she started crying as she slid on the door and collapsed on to the floor.
Geet: Maan I am SORRY...I am sorry for cheating u...
Dad i am sorry for breaking my promise...i am sorry for cheating u dad
I am sorry for cheating both of u...Maan i can't ...i can't tell u that i love u...I am sorry Maan...plz forgive me
************************
Pari heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and found Geet infront of her.
Geet: Pari i am sorry to disturb u...window's door is not getting closed in my room, i am unable to sleep because of the cool breeze...can i sleep here for this night
Pari: ya sure come inside
Geet laid on the bed beside Pari but she couldn't sleep she took Pari's hand into hers' and closed her eyes. Her eyes are shedding tears without her knowledge, Pari's hand became wet because of her tears. Pari understood that something is wrong with Geet. She woke up and turned on the bed lamp to see whether Geet is fine or not. Geet is closing her eyes and tears are flowing from her closed eyes.
Pari: Geet r u fine...what happened y r u crying?
Geet opened her eyes and sat on the bed, she didn't reply to Pari
Pari: Is everything fine? Did u fight with Maan?
Geet remained silent
Pari: Geet u can share anything with me...u can trust me...common tell me what's wrong between u and Maan
Geet: how can u say that i am crying because of Maan?
Pari: If u r not crying because of Maan, u won't come to me Geet...u will straight away go to Maan to share ur problem instead of coming here...i know it's something related to Maan that is bothering u
Geet couldn't hide her pain any more she placed her head on Pari's lap and started weeping like a small child. Pari placed hand on Geet's shoulder and patted to comfort her.
Pari: Geet what's wrong?...what is bothering u? Y r u crying? Plz tell me, share ur pain with me...i am there for u...don't hesitate y r u crying?
Geet: Pari i have cheated Maan
Pari: what???? What r u talking?
Geet got up from Pari's lap
Geet: Pari I love Maan
Pari: Geet...what's wrong in that...y r u saying that u have cheated Maan?
Geet: u know that i have promised my dad that i would marry a guy of his choice...but i forgot my own promise...mujhe pata nahi chala ki kab Maan ne mera dil aur dimag par kabza kar liya...his love made me forget about everyone and everything...i didn't realise what i am doing to myself and Maan...i have raised hopes in him without my knowledge, i have gone too far Pari...now i don't know the way to come back, i don't understand how i should tell this to Maan...i can't tell him that i love him pari...i have promised my dad and i can't break his promise...i don't want to lose Maan, i don't want to lose his love...and at the same time i can't break my father's trust on me...i don't want to lose either my father or Maan, i want both of them, i can't hurt any of them...but because of my stupidity i have cheated both of them...i have cheated my dad by loving Maan...i have cheated Maan by promising my dad...i am not a good daughter...and i am not a good friend either...i don't know what to do know...my heart is breaking Pari, how am i going to face Maan now...i didn't think once before saying yes to dad...and i dindn't think once before expressing my feelings to Maan...i have cheated both of them Pari...what should i do now
She is crying out her heart. Pari understood her pain and worried that whatever she has anticipated has exactly happened.
Pari: Geet listen to me don't blame urself, u didn't do anything intentionally...u r not aware that u r in love with Maan when u have promised ur dad, so y do feel that u have cheated ur dad?
Geet: if i didn't cheat my dad then i have cheated Maan right, i know that i have promised dad then i should have stayed in my limits...but i didn't stop myself in getting close to Maan...i didn't realise when my heart started beating for Maan
Pari: Maan is a nice guy, he will understand the situation if u explain him what exactly happened
Geet: Pari what do u want me to tell Maan...u want me tell him that i forgot my promise and fell in love with him...now i remember my promise so should i ask him to stay away from me
Pari: Geet i didn't mean it...both u and Maan can try to convince ur dad right...y don't u think in that way...y don't u tell ur dad that u want Maan in ur life.
Geet: it's not that easy Pari, dad won't listen to me...if i am not wrong he should have already selected a guy for me...otherwise he won't call me suddenly and ask for my decision...it's too late to discuss anything with dad now...all this happened because of my stupidity...y Maan ...y did u do this to me...y did u shower ur love on me...i don't deserve it...i am sorry i can't return the same amount of love that u showered on me...Pari i don't want to lose Maan...i love him but still i can't tell him that i love him...Pari i am feeling guilty of whatever i have done...i want both of them...i want both of them Pari
Pari: plz don't cry Geet
Geet: my dad loves me a lot Pari...he trusts me so much, how could i say that i broke his trust? How could i tell him that i love Maan?...after my dad i have seen the same care and same love in Maan's eyes for me...he loves me so much, he cares for me...he kissed me Pari...he told me how much he wants me...i too...i too love him Pari, i can't imagine another guy other than Maan in my life...i want him...i want u Maan...i want u
Saying so Geet fainted and Pari got hold of Geet from falling down and laid her on the bed. She gave her water and tried to console her. Geet held Pari's hand and wept the whole night, her eyes turned red and she slept when she became exhausted. Pari tried to console her but Geet is blaming herself and didn't listen to Pari. She is murmuring "i am sorry Maan...i am sorry papa "...in between, Pari couldn't do anything other than worrying for Geet.
************************
Maan's happiness knew no bounds. He couldn't sleep the whole night dreaming about their future. He wants to be with her, he is struggling hard to stop himself from going to her room. He wants to take her into his arms and kiss her till his last breath. He wants to gift her the entire happiness in the world. He is dying to see her, he is dying to make her his' forever. He is eagerly waiting for the sunrise - to meet her, to be with her, to kiss her, to tease her, to see her blushing for his mischief, to call her sexy and what not.
He woke up early than he usually wakes up every day and straight away went to Geet's room. He knocked on the door but didn't get the answer so he went inside the room, he didn't find her in the room. He checked the entire house and finally came to check Pari's room. He knocked on Pari's door hesitantly. Pari opened the door.
Maan: Pari i am sorry to disturb u early in the morning...did u see Geet?...i mean is there Geet in ur room?...did she come to meet u?
Pari is hesitating whether to let Maan inside or not...but she thought Maan might help Geet in getting rid of her guilty feeling.
Pari: ya she is here only, but she is still sleeping
Maan didn't understand what Geet is doing in Pari's room early in the morning.
Maan: can i come inside?
Pari: ya
Maan came inside and has seen Geet sleeping, he didn't want to disturb her so he thought of leaving the room then he heard Geet murmuring in sleep "Maan" then he went near her and touched her cheeks "yes Geet...i am right here with u". Geet took his hand into hers'. Maan observed that her body temperature is high and her voice has also changed. He sat beside her and touched her forehead with the other hand "body temperature appears to be high, i think she has fever". Geet tried to open her eyes he has seen Maan and again closed her eyes. Her eyes are red and swollen as she cried the whole night. Maan got worried looking at her condition.
Maan: Pari ...Geet is having fever, i think we should take her to the doctor
Geet woke up by now and listened to what Maan has said. She opened her eyes with great difficulty, she is having head ache, body pains and cold...she managed to sit with Maan's help.
Geet: that's ok...i just need some rest...i will be fine
Maan: look at urself...u r looking so weak and u have fever...we will go to the hospital and take proper medication...i wonder what happened that u became very sick suddenly
Geet: yesterday we have spent half of the night in the cold weather may be because of that reason...that's it... i will be ok
Maan didn't listen to Geet and forcibly admitted her in the hospital though she refused to stay in the hospital. Doctor confirmed that she is having cold fever so he advised her to take rest and said that it will get cured in 3 days. He also stayed along with her in the hospital. He told Pari that he would take care of Geet and asked her to go to the office since both Maan and Geet are not attending the office Pari should take care of the project along with Alex.
