"Ma... Maa" Nandita barged into Savitri Devi's room. A little taken aback by this sudden intrusion, Savitri devi excused herself from the phone call she was attending and looked at Nandita, "Nandita, bete is everything alright? Anu theek hai na?" she asked concerned and got up from her recliner. "Ji Ma... Anu is perfectly fine... I just wanted to talk to you about something" she said. Savitri Devi nodded in encouragement and gestured her to take the seat in front of her. "Kya baat hai?" she asked. "Maa, kya Maan aur Geet...?" she trailed off but Savitri Devi smiled as comprehension dawned on her, "Haan... Maan, Geet ko pasand karte hain" she affirmed. "You knew it?" Viren asked walking in. Savitri devi clicked her tongue in response. "Maa, you didn't even tell me" complained Nandita. "Well... initially Maan wanted some time as Geet was finishing her education and he didn't want her to be distracted and then things went out of hand" Savitri devi sighed. "But I thought he liked Sameera" Nandita said realizing her folly. "Never! It was Geet all the way" Savitri snorted. "And I see you approve of her" Viren said with a smile. "Ofcourse yes! Infact she's the one I meant when I said that I had already chosen a girl for Maan." Savitri devi replied pleased with herself. "Geet is a really nice girl Ma. I think she's perfect for Maan and if Maan likes her too then we should talk about the alliance." Nandita said in excitement. "Yes. I've being thinking about it too. This will also put some rumours around Geet to rest. The girl has endured enough. She deserves to be happy now" Dadi Ma said. "Toh theek hai. I'll call them up. We'll go and talk to Pammi ji" Viren said and the women nodded in approval.

Despite several attempts, Maan didn't tell Geet about where they were heading to which easily put Geet into sulking mode. She crossed her arms around her chest, pouting like a kid who had been denied her cookie. Maan shook his head at her and taking a sharp turn, he pulled his car near a deserted beach, the place where he used to come to whenever he missed her, after coming to Mumbai. Geet looked at Maan but he simply turned the engine off and stepped out of the car and went to stand by the rocks. Perplexed, Geet stepped out of the car and went to stand beside him. He was intently watching the sunset on the horizon. He appeared deep in thought and she knew he was remembering the times when they used to watch the sunset together, on the cliff in Delhi. It was their hiding spot and he would often whisk her there whenever he would want to steal a few moments alone with her. She hooked her arm around his and leaned in to rest her head on his shoulder, "Do you remember?" he asked her softly. She straightened up, looked at him and smiled, "Of course" she said and pulled him with her as she sat down on the rocks watching the drowning sun. As he sat, she pulled his arms and locked them around her waist while she settled between his legs and leaned her back against his chest. He smiled. It was like they were rebuilding an old memory. Precisely the memory of the last time, he took her to the cliff, and thereby bridging the gap of the time. Erasing the memory of the bitter days, when they had watched this sunset alone. Maan kissed her shoulder and placed his chin there. Geet shut her eyes as she felt the tranquility wash over her.

"Maan ab?" she asked after several moments snuggling close to him. He smiled, "Ab kya Geet?" he asked as he enveloped her more firmly. "I mean... you told me aunty wanted you to marry Sameera" she asked. He sighed and pulled her away, "And I told you I was never interested" he clarified. "Lekin Aunty?" she asked with uncertainty. "I guess everyone has a whiff now about Maan Singh Khurana's fancy" he chuckled, rubbing his nose affectionately with hers. Her eyes widened, "You think so? No one has hinted it though I have been coming over regularly" she said innocently. He rolled his eyes, "Oh you wanted a confrontation? It was apparent Mishty" he said amused. "Kuch kaha unhone?" she asked searching his eyes. "Abhi tak nahi. But knowing my mom, I know its coming soon" he said lifting her hand and kissing her palm softly. "And what if they don't approve of me?" she asked somberly. He shrugged, "Then we are going to flee" he declared nonchalantly as if there was no big deal about it. Her jaws fell open, "No ways! I'm running nowhere and neither are you Mr. Khurana" she shot back. "Then?" he asked, completely enjoying himself. "You are going to convince them" she said, almost insisting. He smiled to himself, "Lekin Geet, convince them what? When you yourself have been so adamantly avoiding me over the past two days" he shook his head in disappointment. "That was your fault! Your consistent apologies were hammering my brains." She complained. He narrowed his eyes at her, "Geet! Tum un kuch khush naseeb logon main se ho jinhe Maan Singh Khurana ne sorry kaha hai, and look at you, tumhe koi kadar hi nahi hai" he snorted while she laughed to which he immediately softened his expressions. After all, it was after months that he was seeing her laugh so explicitly. It warmed his insides.

Anu was quietly sitting over her bed and flipping through the pages of a magazine, seeing nothing as her eyes remained lost. She had collected herself well and was dealing with her wounded heart bravely. But it wasn't so easy. The realization that she had fallen in love with such a terrible man made her miserable and her confidence was dwindling. There were times when she doubted herself and felt responsible for the whole mess. Yes, with Geet around her, things were easy for Geet never blamed her for anything. And then there were ruins of her broken dreams. She had after all loved Arjun dearly and though she despised his deeds and felt disgusted by him, it had pained her to conspire against him. "Anu" she heard a soft call and snapped her head to see her mom, watching over her with concern. "Mumma aap?" she asked blinking back her tears as she shifted a bit making place for Nandita to sit. "Beta, are you ok?" Nandita asked her. Anu held her hand and smiled, "Absolutely mumma... why do you ask?" Nandita shook her head and placed her hand on Anu's cheek, "Do you wish to talk?" she asked slowly. Anu shook her head for a no, "Main theek hoon Mumma. I just need sometime" Nandita nodded in agreement and hugged her daughter.

"Geet thand lag jayegi" he tried to reason with her. She looked at him thoughtfully, "Maan, I tell you... you can be such a bore at times" she shook her head in disappointment. "Bore? Main bore hoon?" he was snubbed. Particularly in a playful mood, she nodded her head in agreement but as he took a dangerous step towards her, she pushed him back and made a dash. He stumbled behind but recovering himself, he ran behind her. It had started pouring by now. Water soaked through her clothes but she cared less as she ran away from Maan knowing well that she was in for a trouble. She stepped into the water as she ran enjoying the waves washing over her feet. She laughed while he pressed his lips together as he tried to stop her. Getting hold of her hand firmly, he prevented her from going any further into the water before pulling her to him. The sound of rain, subdued her squeal as she found herself trapped. Rainwater seeped through her hair and dripped from her face. While she laughed, she made no attempts to walk out of his embrace but shook her head as she tried to gain back her composure. He scanned her face, her lips and his gaze wandered further below taking in the appearance of her. He mentally groaned at the image that was presented in front of him. Could anyone look beautiful in such a messier form, he thought as he held her by her waist securely. Laughter died and her throat went dry as he captured her thoughts with the look in his eyes. The eyes that conveyed his desire and longing for her. His fingertips brushed past the length of her arm causing her to draw a long breath as he brushed her shoulders and her collar bones. His eyes twinkled just as he observed the effect of his slightest touch on her. She stepped away, but he stopped her by holding on to her dupata and sliding it off of her ever so slowly. Her eyes widened, and she glared at him but he smirked as her pretense of detachment started slipping away.

Geet was lost in his touches. It soothed her and assured her of him. The insecurities she had been fighting were dwindling away. And then he withdrew instantly and it concerned her. She was expecting him to kiss her but then when even moments later she felt no advancement from his side, she opened her eyes to his eyes shut. He seemed to be breathing deeply and she was worried and... disappointed!

Geet looked into his eyes deeply, witnessing the whirlpool of emotions that was held in them. He was holding his breath for her answer while even he knew that it was all she wanted. But he wanted her to say it once. "Maan..." she began but he shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about anything Geet. I'll convince Adi, I'll get my parents to agree... Just say yes" he said earnestly. He was edgy as he anticipated her reply hoping it to be yes. She smiled to herself as she watched him shifting his weight from one foot to another evidently nervous. "Hmm... so you want us to get married?" she asked as if contemplating. "Geet, I suppose that's what I said" impatiently, he was trying to gauge her expressions. He knew she loved him and like him she wished for their togetherness too. But this sudden change in her attitude was surprising him. As it continued to pour, she encircled her arms around his neck, as she spoke, "You promise to love me always" she asked. His hands closed around her waist, "More than you think so" he said. "You will trust me, always?" she asked again. "More than I trust myself" he said pulling her close. "You are never going to leave me?" she squinted her eyes. "Never ever!" he replied tucking her hair behind her ear. "You won't blow a fuse everytime you see so much as a male species near me?" she said. Raising his eye-brows, "Make reasonable demands!" he said and lightly bumped his forehead with hers. She pouted, "And you will not meddle between me and Anu". He rolled his eyes and kissed her nose, "No! I intend to grow old with you and not die young!" he said. "hmm... and..." she was about to continue when he stopped her, "Isn't that list a tad too long" he asked annoyed now. She giggled and leaned closer to his ear, "well then... to cut the matter short, its yes!" said that she hugged him tight hiding her face in his chest. His hands gripped her waist and he lifted her before twirling her around while she squealed. Gently pulling her down, he pulled her away to look at her blushing face. He then pulled her close in ecstasy and finally kissed her, gently at first but when he felt her respond to his kiss, he deepened it, kissing her passionately while his fingers laced with hers. It had stopped raining now. They drew apart for air and he kept looking at her face intently. Leaning in, she said emotionally, "I love you Maan. And to be with you is all I want now". He wiped her tears and whispered, "I won't let anyone take you away from me now" he said kissing the top of her head.
