Part 3
Past
"Have we reached to Goa?" Geet asked for the millionth of time.
"Nope" answered Maan irritated.
"Hey babaji...did I commit some sins in my past lives for making me stuck with such a person, who's even kanjoos in even talking...iss dhust danav is making me mad" she muttered glancing constantly at Maan.
Maan was losing his temper as well and glanced at the back seeing her sister and friend sound asleep.
"Can't you shut up...and what's my name? dhust danav? Huh, you got it wrong, Ms. Geet Handa, its Maan Singh Khurana, got it" he clenched between his teeth.
Geet scowled and looked outside.
Half and hour later Maan said: "we've reached the hotel!"
Annie yawned followed by her friend. "Bye Bhai, take care of Bhabhi...i mean would-be-bhabhi...we gotta go...see ya!" and dashed out with their bags. Geet flushed looking at Maan in the corner of her eyes and thought "vikram hasn't even called me".
Maan helped Geet with her lagguage and a man grinning broadly at them arrived.
"Hi", he said extending his hands for a shake hand with Maan. "Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana" he greeted leaving Maan and Geet flabbergasted. "Errr ' you got it wrong Mister, it's Mr. Maan Singh Khurana and Ms. Geet Handa" Maan clarified. The man grinned cheekily and presented himself "I am Santiago Mojitos, your guide in this trip of yours to Goa" Santiago said. "And as for your names, it doesn't matter as you are going to get married soon" the man said and could not help smiling. Maan was irritated while Geet flushed and looked at Maan.
"Why am I flushing?" Geet thought.
Santiago showed them their apartments and he added "it consists of two rooms; you guys can choose whichever you want; one you can see the sunset from here" and grinned. "I'm sure Geet Madam will like the sunset one, it's so romantic" and he left.
"Chatterbox" Maan muttered entering the apartment.
"Maan..." Geet said.
"Hmm" he replied uncomfortably. "I give it and you a damn"
"I want the sunset view room" she retorted.
"Take it" he shrugged and went to the other side of the room.
"Why are you so unfriendly" Geet thought with a sad face. She went in her room and unpacked her clothes in less that fifteen minutes. She decided to call Vikram.
Unknown voice: Hello...Vi Darling...someone called Geet the Stupid Trapped is phoning you
Vikram: Jaan, disconnect the call...and don't take that loud, he said a soft whisper.
Unknown voice: *Giggles* I already did that Jaanu...
Vikram: that's why I love you so much Roselle...
Geet wiped her tears. What did he meant by Geet the Stupid and who was this woman? What was she doing with Vikram? And why did he call her Stupid the Trapped? And Darling? Hey babaji what's happening?
She broke on the floor; moping it, crying. Just then Maan entered shocked to see Geet on the floor broken.
"Geet?" he asked and went to her. He looked confused and cupped her wet face.
"I-I-I am sorry" he said wiping her tears feeling guilty.
That brought Geet back to reality. "W-why are you sorry?" she said and thought "it was my mistake to think right of this Vikram, I've to find more about him...how could I trust him..."
Maan helped Geet to stand and held her by the shoulder.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Geet simply nodded.
"I am really sorry...i did not mean to hurt you" he added apolitically. "I was rude I know" he added.
"It's not that" Geet choked through her tears. "Woh..." she said and did not know how to continue.
"Missing home?" he asked. Geet nodded. "Do you want to go to the restaurant that Mojitos told us?" he asked. Geet nodded for a 'no'.
"Good" Maan smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist and led her to the kitchen "I prepared some pasta, eat some you'll feel alright".
Geet gazed in his dark eyes. She so wanted to ask him who was Vikram but looking so handsome and how nice he was just now with her, her heart and mind declined it. Maan served her the pasta and she kept gazing at him.
"You're not that bad after all" she whispered to him. Maan gave a small smile and said "it's just I don't like when someone force something on me".
Geet smiled and ate silently lost in her thoughts.
Maan asked "do you want to phone your mother?"
Geet nodded no and choked "I don't want to disturb her."
"Good that you're taking care of me or else I'd complain to Dadimaa" Geet grinned cheekily. Maan shook his head at her innocent smile at then again Vikram's thoughts crossed her mind and she went emotional again.
Why had she trust him? She had do find something about this Vikram definitely now? Why was he after Maan?
"Geet ' you're not feeling well, you've to take rest, please go and rest, see your face, you look so pale" Maan said.
Maan couldn't help feeling admiration for this girl. First she called him a demon then she cried because he had hurt him, and then she praised him.
Geet broke out of her thoughts and said "no, Maan, I am fine, really, I'm, do you need help in packing...?" she asked.
"Geet, you look so pale" Maan insisted. "But...I...I don't want to be alone" Geet whispered. Maan now looked really worried.
"What happened Geet" he asked. "Woh...I...feel...scared...these weird scary thoughts is crossing my mind and I...I..." she stammered and closed her eyes.
Maan led Geet to her room and after some time she went to sleep.
The Next Day
Maan dressed in his white shirt and black pants was waiting for Geet impatiently. Somehow he found this girl impressive. He knew he had no choice from backing off this wedding but why was he appreciating this girl?
Was he attracted to her?
Geet came hurrying in white shirt and blue below-knees jeans with her opened hair; she looked so pretty, Maan concluded. He bit his lips as he checked her out.
"Shall we go" Geet asked. She did not see Maan checking her out. [Foolish Girl😆]
"Maan, I want to climb these rocks" Geet pointed.
Maan shrugged "I have to obey Dadimaa's orders and take you" he mumbled.
"Maan...come on, don't be spoilt sports" Geet giggled.
"She's so pretty" Maan thought lost in her giggles.
As they walked on the sand; Geet scribbling her name on the sand and smiled. Maan smiled at her childishness.
"Will you swim?" Geet asked.
"Nah"...
Some girls in bikini who were getting tan whistled at Maan and one said
Girl1: Hey Sexy macho man...come here'
Maan turned red.
Girl2: Come on; we're better...hot hot girls like us [winking, Geet fuming]
Geet stormed off and Maan just watched Geet going away leaving him defenseless. He ran after her like a lunatic and shouted her name:
"Geet, stop, Geet, Geet, stop"
Geet stopped as people were staring at her and Maan.
"Geet..." Maan said grabbing her hand but Geet shrugged off.
"What is my mistake in that?" Maan asked innocently. Geet walked quickly away.
"Geet..." Maan thought how to pacify her.
"If you don't stop; I'll sing a song for you..."
Geet paralyzed.
"And I don't know how to sing..." Maan added breathlessly.
"What do you think of urself...some Bollywood actor, huh?" Get fumed.
"Nah, better than any Bollywood actor" Maan grinned and held Geet closer to him.
"Now be a good girl and let's go Santiago is waiting for us over there!" he pointed

***
During their whole trip Maaneet became closer and closer. Geet refused to accept her feelings for Maan Singh Khurana while Maan; was debating his heart and mind to accept Geet.
After the whole boating; Geet vaguely remembered Vikram. The whole two weeks she enjoyed Maan's company...trying to forget her stress. She never thought Maan could be so caring...
Her results of her exams were out. She was so excited to announce this to her mother; more specifically her guardian but she had always loved her like her own mother.
She had stopped talking to Vikram. Vikram still did not know anything. He was busy enjoying life. Maan did not know why she was disturbed but before dropping her home from the trip he had advised her to concentrate her on her study.
She had received her results and she was so happy; passing with brilliant colours.
She quickly went home; and cried with joy.
Geet: Mom!!!
No answer.
Geet turned around and saw Maan.
Geet cried in gladness and said "Maan, I am so happy!" and she hugged him tightly. Maan was shocked but hugged her back.
"I passed" she finally said. Still in their hug, Maan smiled and kissed her forehead shocking Geet.
Geet blushed and Maan said "it's all because of ur hard work" and smiled.
"Ahem ahem" someone cleared its voice. It was Geet's mom. Geet turned red so was Maan.
"Who...I was just congratulating Geet..." Maan cleared but Geet's mom said "it doesn't matter..."
"You guys are getting married..."
"Taking about marriage...I've come here to talk on that topic...Dadimaa wanted to talk with you guys to fix the wedding date" Maan said looking at Geet.
