@You & Me...One on One@(MG)ff~10~...new link @151 - Page 12

Meera was watching the waves hitting the rocks below standing beside the railing and didn't noticed when dev came beside her...its nice, isn't it...??

His sudden voice startled her, but when she saw dev she tried to move away making an excuse...uh, woh I have to see where geet is...

Meera...he called out before she move away...I am sorry...!!

She turned looking at him totally confused...why are you saying sorry...??

For my last night behaviour. I don't know what happened to me, I just got carried away...he tried to explain with genuine sorry in his eyes.

Meera realized he was talking about their beach encounter and shook her head...its okay dev. I am not angry...!!

But I am sorry for jiya's behaviour also...meera looked at him while he continued...I don't know what had gotten into her. She never behaved that way before and thats why I have asked her to apolozise to you...

What...but why...??...dev there is seriously no need...meera tried to interrupt.

Of course there is meera. You are my dearest friend and I won't tolerate anyone hurting or insulting you like that and I mean anyone...dev replied firmly and gestured someone behind meera to come forward with his eyes.

Meera turned and saw jiya standing before her. She was not liking how things were getting complicated.

I am sorry, meera. I shouldn't have behaved that way with you...jiya said looking at meera and then adding...I hope you'll forgive me coz dev will not talk to me if until you do so...!!

As I have already said, there is no need for any apology. Its okay jiya, maine bura nahi mana...meera replied softly.

Dekha dev, I told you meera won't take me otherwise. I was just joking...it was just a game...she tried to defend herself...now toh you forgive me na...!!

Dev nodded slightly and turned to meera...if you are not angry then why are you avoiding me...??

I was not avoiding you dev...

Fine, then lets explore this place together. Waise bhi sab niche ja rahe hai...not having any other option, meera nooded and went with them, while jiya was all the why getting agitated with the growing closeness between dev and meera.

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

Everyone gathered below and decided to click some pictures. They spent sometime roaming here and there. While sam was busy in explaining the history of the place, yash and vicky were yawning behind. Maan was all the while keeping an eye on everyone and stealing glances at his mishty every now and then.

She was literally glowing after her patch up with Vicky and he was glad about that. Sneha though had been talking to everyone, her eyes always longed for Vicky. But when he would be with her, she feel guilty of hurting him. She wish she could accept vicky's feeling and express hers. Vicky too didn't press her more about anything and was being his own self.

They finished with dona paula and left for the bagha beach. Though there was a long distance between them, but they had ample time and maan and dev were quite aquainted with the roads so they took short cuts and reached the beach in some 45 minutes.

It is a very popular beach with a wide area. It is one of the most visited tourist spot in goa and is quite famous for its water sports and dolphin cruises. As the girls came to the beach, they screamed seeing the waters and rushed towards it. Last night they had mostly felt but today they could see the beauty of the beach and waters.

Geet, sam, pari pulled sneha, meera and jiya along with them and entered the water laughing and giggling like school girls. While the boys stood gaping at them. Maan knew his mishty's love for beaches and water sports, though she was scared enough to never try them, but he had planned some lovely adventures for her and everyone else.

Girls were still playing in the water, when maan called them back. Geet was not at all happy with this interruption, but maan didn't paid any heed to her complaining and brought everyone out.

Now that you have disturbed us, it better be good...geet threatened him showing her eyes to which maan raised his brows and replied...good toh bahut hai geet, but dekhna yeh hai kit um usme kitni good rahogi...and smirked seeing her getting all the more confused.

Well, I have some adventure sports for all and there is a small example of what we are going to do first...maan said pointing towards the sea a bit upwards and then all of them saw a man with a parachute like thing flying in the sky which looked like a kite.

Geet blinked her eyes several times seeing it and then shrieked in her mind with horror...PARAGLIDING...??

Maan saw the spark as well as horror in geet's eyes and knew what was going on in her mind...so, lets see miss handa, how good are you in this...and grinned devilishly.

Geet looked at maan with pouted lips like asking for mercy, but maan simply ignored and went to get the proceedings started. He discussed everything and arranged for the trainers. ( though paragliding needs good amount of training yet I am taking this liberty in my fiction here. Plzz overlook it )

Okay guys, this is jack... our trainer and he will guide us with the dos and don'ts...maan said introducing a a well built man.

Hello everyone...jack smiled at all of them politely and led them to a hill top from near by route. It was a huge area with an exceptional scenic beauty.

OMG...!!...this looks so amazing...sam gushed seeing the lovely scenery.

Well, amazing is yet to be seen sam. So, hold your horses...maan said to sam, but smirked at geet. But then he saw geet has turned slight pale seeing the depth of the landscape below. He moved near her and tapped on her shoulders. She turned back starlted and slipped, but maan was fast enough to catch her. She looked at him releasing a breath of relif and admonished...

Gosh, maan you scared me. Agar main khai mein gir jati toh...??...she was still clutching her heart with one hand while other was wound around maan's neck for support.

I am sorry, love. Was not intended to scare you...he gave an apologetic look...and do you really think I would have let you fall...??...she lowered her eyes at his intense gaze. Maan steadied her and then continued...but you look way too scared. I just want you to relax and enjoy this...!!

Its easy for you to say...she pouted.

Maan took a deep sigh and held geet by her shoulders...Okay tell me one thing, didn't you always wanted to try it out. I mean when I was in US and told you about my paragliding experience on phone, you sounded so excited and eager to try it yourself...!!

I was hardly 17, such excitement is common in teenagers. But that doesn't mean they are serious about every fantasy of theirs...she replied with a tinge of irritation and fear as she saw jack tying up cables around her sam di as she sat on the harness, telling them about the basics.

Oh really, well miss handa, as far as I remember your biggest teenage fantasy was maan singh khurana and I know exactly how much serious you were about it...maan replied with a smirk.

Geet blushed a beautiful red but still adamant...but, its too scary...

Falling in love with this devil was no less scarier, I guess...??

Falling in love with you is divine...there was a sparkle of truth in her eyes and maan felt blessed.

Try this just once, dear and I promise you will not regret...he requested knowing his mishty was as eager as him, just a bit scared. But then what was he for...?? He would be damned if he let her miss it out.

Yeah, only if I came back alive...geet muttered, but now her fear had alleviated a bit.

Come on, I guess they are ready...maan guided her towards their friends who were aptly listening to the trainer. Vicky, dev, yash, adi, sam and jiya had done this before too, so they were just listening for recalling, while pari, sneha, meera and geet were first timers.

Jack called the girls first and made them familiar with the parachute or kite and the cables. Everything was so thrilling and the girls were barely able to conceal their excitement.

Slowly they started to try it and soon pari, sam, adi, jiya and yash were in the sky experiencing one of the out of world experience. Then it was meera's turn. Dev smiled at her encouragingly and she held the cables tight to take the flight. Geet glanced nervously at meera as she left the cliff. Dev followed meera and then it was sneha's turn.

She was nervous like hell. She had already tried to deny...first to maan then others, but maan was adamant that everyone has to participate. Vicky and sam helped her a lot, making her calm down and encouraging her thoroughly. At last she agreed and decided to follow the instructions to the T.

Relax sneha, trust me its like a lifetime experience...and once you are in the clouds nothing feels more blissful...vicky again assured her with these words and finally she smiled and left the cliff praying to god.

Vicky too made a stylish jump as usual showing off and maan rolled his eyes at his stuntbazi. But geet was a complete different case. Hearing vicky screaming, though with joy, made her heart palpitations go all the way to a new speed that too without limit.

She immediately clutched maan's hand not willing to leave the edge. Maan looked at her and cursed vicky for scaring her more...

He cupped her face and said very loving and soothingly...listen mishty, don't let fear overtake you. You are the bravest girl I have ever met in my life and there is nothing in the world that you can't do...she looked into his eyes which had nothing but sheer honesty...when you can go to any length, risking your life to prove me innocent ...this is nothing in front of that. Yeh toh tumhare left hand...oops tum toh already lefty ho...maan chuckled and added...then yeh toh tumhare right hand ka khel hai...!!

A dazzling smile appeared on her face listening to maan and his next set of words gave her all the required strength and courage...I trust you and your capabilities in conquering any fear, any hurdle...just keep trust on my trust...and pressed her hands in a very comforting and assuring way.

She kept looking at him with all the love and trust and left the cliff with a smile on her face.

Maan was the last one to touch the ground. He had hell of a blast in the air, but never had he expected to be welcomed in the manner he was. As soon as he came down, a speedy jerk hit him and before he knew it he was on the ground along with geet, who had hugged him with all her might...

Oh my god...!!...it was so damn AWESOME maan...I never enjoyed any sport this much. You know I was dying to do it, try it once, but never got the courage and today, finally I have done and I am so so so very happy and this is all because of you. I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...so very much...and planted a loud soundable kiss on his cheeks.

Maan felt as if he had landed in heaven after falling from sky. This was so unexpected and obviously the bestest thanks he has ever got. A wide grin appeared on his face and he cocooned his mishty in the warmth of his arms never wanting to let go. Geet was till now in her dream world rather her dreamy experience of the sky, the beautiful western ghats...and clutched maan feeling overwhelmed. Maan gently rubbed her back to calm her down as he could still feel her out of control heart pumping against his chest.

After like eternity geet came back to her senses and realized what she has done. But it was too late. She tried to get away, but maan held her tightly against him not wanting to get parted even for a second.

Ma...an...please...she pleaded softly. Her voice was low due to all the shouting and screaming she did right from taking off till landing.

Maan brought his lips near her ear and whispered...please what jaan...??

They heard gigling and oohing of others around them and geet blushed profusely realizing how compromising their positions were.

She gathered herself and said in a normal tone this time...please leave me...all are watching us...!!

Maan got her point and released her reluctantly. She at once got up and moved towards her friends. Others too were really happy specially pari, meera and sneha as it was their first time too. Geet again got busy in sharing her experience with her friends, while smiled wide seeing her so much happy.

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

They came down to the beach. As it took them almost one and a half hour with paragliding, maan decided to try for another sport, but this time a less time consuming one. So he chose water jet ski.

Evryone was already in beach wears like shorts and loose shirts in case of guys and girls in light dresses except for meera and sneha, who were though not in their usual salwars, were wearing jeans on geet and pari's insistance and also for a comfortable paragliding.

Girls came towards guys who were looking ahead. Geet looked around to see whether maan is there, but he was no where to be seen. She pouted missing his presence and looked at vicky to ask.

Vicky, woh...she started, but then she realized he was not paying any attention to her. Now, this made her angry. No one ignores Geet Handa. She poked vicky hardly with her finger jerking him back...

What doll,...that hurts yaar...he complained rubbing his hand giving her accusing look...what do you want...??

Well His highness Vikrant singh khurana, would you mind paying some of your precious attention to me...sarcasm dripping from every letter and eyes showing denial means death.

So vicky did what he usually do in this kind of situation...of course doll, yeh bhi koi puchne ki baat hai...and smiled mockingly.

Don't show me your stupid teeth, I just want to know...uh...she hesitated for a moment...woh, maan kahin nazar nahi aa raha...??

Vicky was amused at her question and decided to take his sweet revenge from her for always poking and punching him...really geet...??...well thats surprising...he waited for her to look at him and when she did he spoke the net set of words knowing her reaction very well...coz woh kya hai na...is beach ki baki sabhi ladkiyon ki nazar bhai par hi hain...and chuckled inwardly seeing her confused expression.

See, there he is...he pointed towards the sea and stood away from her knowing she may get wild anytime and he was not ready for another punch.

Geet followed his direction and saw that almost everyone in her vicinity was looking there only, especially girls.

She frowned and concentrated and then her eyes turned wide first with anger realizing the girls were ogling at her maan and then with intense passion looking at the edible sight he presented.

Maan was riding a jet ski with utmost speed making circles in the sea. He was wearing a see through white shirt with only the bottom two buttons holding it together and grey shorts beneath them. His shirt was already wet with all the rounds he was taking in the water and was now clinging to his body like a second skin. He finally came to the shore and stopped. Getting off he came towards them and just with the style of his walking few of the girls who were ogling at his golden brown chest passed out.

Geet's eyes were glued to his body like an iron filling to a magnet. Beautifully carved, broad shiny chest protuding out from the partially open shirt and that wet hairs waving along with the wind...in short a total DEVASTATINGLY HANDSOME DEADLY DEVIL...!!

For a moment geet felt herself literally dizzy, such was the effect. Maan took noticed his mishty's gawking eyes and felt proud to be admired by her. Geet just wanted to melt in his iron like arms feeling the contours of his body. But all her wild fantasies came to an end with the words of the girls beside her...

OMG...!!...what a hotty man...!!...a blonde gushed eyeing him top to bottom and geet instantly transformed into her sherni mode.

Yes, he looks so yummy...I wish I could taste him once...another girl in swim suit commented.

But geet's limit of toleration broke, when the girl beside them opened her mouth...oh puhlease...!!...stop dreaming girls...he removed her goggles and continued...he is a man and would only be satisfied by a woman like me, not some clingy teenagers like you all...!!

Geet's friends too heard them and knew geet would attack on them any moment, specially the last girl and they were proven right the very next moment. Geet marched to them and stood in front of them keeping her hands on her hips...

Listen you stupid bimbo, keep your thoughts and eyes away from him...she angrily spat pointing her finger at her, while the girl smirked and retorted...oh really and why so...??

Coz he is mine, okay...!!

Oh every other girl says like that only after all he is the hot shot rising star of business world, MSK...!!

If you know that then you should also know that he is engaged and soon to be married to geet handa and that is ME...she spoke out loud showing her ring finger which was adorned by a sparkling solitare.

The girls were tongue tied at her declaration and geet marched towards maan who was checking the skis for riding.

Uh oh...poor bhai...vicky commented while dev chuckled and adi prayed for the safety of his dear friend. Sam, pari, meera and sneha giggled seeing everything, while jiya was looking else where to find something more interesting. Sneha was feeling very light after the paragliding and all this new experiences were giving her a new zeal to live life, a totally new confidence.

She looked at vicky and smiled thinking how he encouraged her during the take off...would he do the same if I share my dark past with him...??...a sudden thought crossed her mind. She wanted to tell him everything about her and was slowly gaining a trust in him that he will be by her side no matter what. She made up her mind that she'll give it a try and leave the rest on god.

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

What the hell do you think you are doing...??...she blasted him making her presence felt.

Maan turned around to see his fiesty sherni boring hole in him with fiery eyes...uh, checking out the skis...I guess...he replied uncertainly.

Ahan...!!...or flaunting yourself to be checked out by the almost naked girls walking all around here...she fumed remembering how those girls were ogling at him shamelessly.

At first maan was confused, but now he got what the matter really was...So, miss handa is jealous, huh...??...he smirked and it only infuriated geet more.

What can I do if girls are staring at me...??...its not my mistake that I have looks to kill...he said all oh so innocently and winked at geet.

You devil...don't over estimate yourself, okay...she faught back...there is nothing special about your looks. Its just that you are shamelessly exposing...!!

Within two strides maan covered the gap between them and glued her to him taking her by surprise...whether I am exposing or girls are ogling at me or not, whats your problem geet...??...are you jealous...??...he wickedly twisted her words.

Jealous and me...??...oh please, stop dreaming, okay...geet turned her face side ways to avoid looking at him.

Maan held her chin and brought her eyes in contact with him...I have much better dreams or should I say fantasy with you to waste time on jealousy, sweet heart...he spoke in such a husky voice that send a chill down her spine. His wet body sticking to her thinly covered one was hardly helping her situatiuon.

Maan grazed her red cheeks lovingly and then left her not wanting to embarass her more. Geet cursed herself for opening her big mouth in front of this devil and getting teased in return.

Maan called everyone and showed them the jet skis. Vicky and yash were super thrilled and ran to grab their favourites, while jiya dragged dev to give her a ride. Meera, pari and sam decided to take the motor boat. Sneha denied not wanting to go for any more adventures. Vicky saw her moving away and came to her...

Her aren't you going for a ride...??

Uh, no vicky...I am done with these adventures for today...she hesitated and then added...never been keen for adventure in my life...she looked sheepishly.

Vicky shook his head at her denial and grabbed her hand dragging her to his jet ski...no...vicky...stop...she tried protesting, but no use. Vicky stopped once they reached his white jet ski. He took hold of the handle and said...

Hey sneha, hop on now...and gestured to sit behind him. She was extremely conscious now. She tried to deny again, but couldn't as vicky was insistant...oh please sneha, don't be a spoil sport. He held her hand and softly made her move to seat and she got on behind.

Hold me tight, okay...he said feeling her nervousness. She nodded and complied and next second they were in the waters with great speed with sneha clutching tightly to vicky's back and finally enjoying the ride along with vicky.

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

Meera was on the boat with pari and sam, trying to ignore dev and jiya as they rode past them. She was feeling very her heart burn again seeing their closeness. She diverted her mind to the other side not wanting to feel the pain, when pari exclaimed clutching her hand...

OMG...!!...look girls, that guy is so damn hot...and pointed to a figure riding a jet ski ahead of them.

Pari tujhe toh sabhi hot lagte hain...meera said smiling at her a little seeing her enthusiasm. Sam too looked at the guy and said...

Hmm, thats true, but this guy is surely something...look at his moves guys...!!

Sam di aap bhi...??...meera gave her an incredulous look.

So what if I am engaged, window shopping is allowed yaar...sam winked and the girls giggled.
