chapter-76

Mr khurana along with Mr. Handa entered the room to witness a very distraught looking geet sitting beside a sleeping maan. She was holding his bandaged hand carefully, which was injured in the fight a while ago. Both of them glanced at each other and moved over to the bed. Meera had gone for her work, while sneha and dev where in the room. Vicky was out on an important call.

Geet had a lost look in her eyes, but her gaze was fixed on maan. Raj raised his hand and caressed her hair very gently making her turn in his direction. She looked at both of them and suddenly hugged raj tight sobbing like a baby. Mohinder and raj felt so anguished seeing their children in pain. Though raj was having immense rage coursing through his vein for the culprit, he controlled himself and tried to calm geet down...

Hush bachcha, dont cry...raj engulfed her in a warm fatherly embrace...maan is perfectly fine. I have talked to the doctor...!!

But geet was nowhere near stopping. Mohinder caress her hair and said softly...geet beta, if youll cry like this then who will take care of maan...??

Geet raised her head and went into her fathers embrace, clutching him tightly...papaji, woh...he...he tried to sta..b...maan...*hiccup*...I tri..ed to stop him...*hiccup*...and...

Hey...you are my brave gudia, right...??...mohinder patted her head...I am so proud of you, beta. And nothing will happen to maan, okay...?

Finally letting out everything geet relaxed in the protective embrace of her father while both mohinder and raj sighed with relief.

Okay geet, now you too need rest. So, vicky will drop you and sneha home...raj said gaining geets immediate attention.

But...but maan, I wont leave him alone...she straight forwardly denied.

Geet, I promise maan wont be alone even for a second. Ill be here with him, even dev will be with me...raj knew how to persuade geet and so added...dont you trust your boyfriend anymore...and smiled with satisfaction as a weak but genuine smile lit up geets face.

She nodded sniffing and finally acquiesced reluctantly. Vicky entered the room after finishing his call and raj gestured him and sneha to take geet with them. Nodding silently to his father, vicky came forward and said...come on doll, lets go...!!

Casting a last soulful glance at a maans sleeping form, geet left with sneha and vicky, while mohinder, raj and dev discussed on what to be done next.

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

Dad, situation is getting out of hands now. This is second attempt on bros life. We need to do something fast...dev ranted as soon as the three left.

Raj was caressing maans bandaged hand, his eyes filled with pain and a mad rage to avenge his son...do you suspect anyone...??

Its the same, dad. The man wasnt caught, but we got the cctv footage. Adi is running a scan for matching it with the criminal records. But till now, no success...dev ran an agitated hand through his hair, his usual calm persona taking a back seat.

What about sandy...??...mohinder asked with a grave expression on his face.

Not sure, uncle. We dont have any proof which will lead us to him...!!

Okay...!!...so for now we have to wait for the cctv footage scanning result...??...mohinder asked while dev nodded. Keeping a supportive hand on rajs shoulder mohinder said...dont worry raj, we will not sit quiet until we have the culprit punished...!!

Raj nodded in agreement and went back to caressing maans hair. His strongest pillar was in a vulnerable state. It was just too much for him. Mohinder eyed dev to take care of both maan and raj seeing rajs lost expression and finally took his leave.

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

Mehra Mansion...

Sandy entered his room stealthily not wanting his parents to see his bleeding nose and ask questions. But to bad luck, his mother was already there waiting for him...

Sandy, where were you...??...I was waiti...oh god...!!...she shrieked suddenly seeing his bleeding nose...what happened to you...??...did you fought with someone...??

Mom, just stop it, okay...sandy snapped back rudely getting agitated by his mothers non-stop queries...I am fine. Its nothing, please go and let me rest...!1

But beta, your nose...first-aid...her mothers heart was not ready to leave him like this on his own.

Please mom, dont irritate me now. I told you I am fine and Ill do the first-aid myself. Just go from here...!!

His mother left the room heart-broken, but he could care less. His whole attention shifted to the evening incidents. But today his total focus was on someone else other than maan and geet despite his close encounter with them.

That girl...I know her. Isnt she the same chic, the hardest one to get apart from geet...???...what was her name...??...he murmured with a frown marring his forehead and tried to recall her name and suddenly his memory clicked...sneha...!!...a sinister look shadowed his face as he sneered...she was really something...!!... . His sick mind indulging into the memory of his past deed...but what the hell was she doing with that Khurana...??

This question was creating havoc in his mind. He had stopped after reaching the gate and saw how vicky rushed to her helping her up and though he couldnt hear anything, he knew they were close...very close. It hardly bothers him, who she has in her life, but it will definitely be a bother if she spill out anything about him to those Khuranas.

They were looking for a loophole to trap him and he knew that. He had a fair idea of maans intelligence and he knew when alisha was caught that he must have linked him too. The sudden disinterest of the handas in his alliance with geet had confirmed everything for him. But he was not worried coz there was no proof against him as most of the things were done by alisha.

Even the murder attempt on maan would not lead them to him. He was confident rather overconfident about that. But, with this girl coming into picture he was not sure about. Though he had heard after reaching london that all the blames went to her and she left shimla...but with khurana connection, she could create problem even after so many years...!!

I need to find out what relation she has with those khuranas. I wont let any past or present hurdles deter me...he snarled raking his hand through his hair. His nose was bandaged, but was paining like hell adding to his frustration. Geet had hit him really hard though the plastic thing didnt harmed immensely or else he was sure the bone would have broken by the hit.

No worries geet, once I finish off your boyfriend and get you in my castle, Ill settle all scores...he said rubbing his nose very lightly and wincing on touching the wrong area.

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

It was next day and maan was awake from a long time discussing security issues with adi and dev. Raj had left a while ago but only after maan assured him of things being under control. He knew his father was worried for him. But he was more worried about geet. He was sure it was all sandys doing.

Adi, I want strict security for geet. Make sure she is never alone...maan asserted in a stern voice.

I have personally checked her security, maan. All of them are perfectly trained and trustable. Dont worry...adi reassured him. He knew maan was tensed after the previous night attack.

Dev, ask the doctor to prepare the discharge papers. I want to go home today itself...maan said in a no nonsense tone.

But bro, your health...

I dont want any argument over this, dev. Ill talk to dad. Just get the papers ready...!!

Sighing in defeat, dev nodded while adi got up to call someone...

Whom are you calling...??...maan asked narrowing his eyes.

Geet ko...he replied waiting for her to pick up the call and then added before maan ask anything else...she would be getting ready to come here. Ill just tell her to stay there itself...!!

Hmm...maan nodded and then thought to call his father to inform about his plan. After a rather difficult conversation, maan finally convinced him and cut the call. Adi and dev went out to handle the discharge and security issues, while maan got up to freshen up. He washed his face and felt more relaxed with the cold droplets on his skin.

Not wanting to sit on the bed anymore, he just roamed inside the room. Suddenly he felt something under his slippers and bend down to check. It was a small black bead. He frowned and gave a cursory glance to the corner, when something caught his eyes. A small chain of similar black beads was stuck at the edge of the table.

Carefully extracting it from the table, he raised it to his eye-level and examined...it was a bracelet...!!

But, how did it got here...maan thought and suddenly the events of last night came to him. It must have came out during the tussle. But it couldnt be of geet as it she never wears something like this and moreover, it seems like a mens bracelet. And suddenly it clicked him...it must belong to that attacker...!!

Getting into action at once, maan called adi and explained him the situation. Maan already had a doubt about the attacker being sandy himself despite the get up he was in and now, this proof could lead them to that man.

Are you sure, maan...??...yeh bhi toh ho sakta hai ki woh sandy ka koi gunda ho...or some hired killer...adi reasoned, but maan was adamant.

No adi, if that man was just a hired goon or killer he wouldnt have...he halted abruptly clenched his jaws recalling how that bas***d tried to touch his geet...No professional would waste time or jeopardise their work like that...I told you what happen...!!

I understand, maan...adi got what maan was hesitant in speaking. Maan had already informed him about his doubts this morning...dont worry, if this...raising the bracelet in front of them...belongs to sandy then itll surely be enough to get him behind bars...!!

Hmm...maan nodded and suddenly added remembering the incident once more...and do check sandy for a nose injury. My geet had hit him really hard...he smirked feeling proud of his girl...if not broken, his nose would definitely have a deep wound. It can help in getting a warrant against him...!!

Oh...!!...that great...adi grinned adding...violent geet is too dangerous...!!

That she is...maan chuckled along with adi.

Maan, raj uncle ko yeh sab tum khud bata dena. He was really mad this time. I am sure itll help him calm down...!!

Okay...!!

Adi left to finish his work, while maan started with his packing. He had just grabbed the bag when the doors of his room flew wide open and barged in a very anxious and a bit angry Geet handa.

Before maan could say or do anything, she leapt forward and grabbed him in a bone crushing hug. Maan could feel her anguish through the hug and held her tight as if in assurance that he was alright. As soon as her anxiety and anguish vanished, anger took its place. Pushing gently out of his hold to avoid hurting him, she at once barraged...

What the hell do you think of yourself, Maan Singh Khurana...??...are you a superman or some kind of X-man that your wounds will heal without any effort or time...??...huh...??...answer me...??...she blasted seeing maan standing totally mute, but before he could even move his lips she started again...first some freaking looser shoots you with a damn bullet then another looser comes to hospital with a bloody knife causing another damn injury and here Mr-I-am-so-tough is all set to leave the hospital right next day...ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND...??...she finally completes her long lecture huffing-puffing with a frown marring her beautiful face.

While maan kept ogling at her first bemused then amused and finally pulled her into a tight heart warming hug, inhaling her sweet aroma murmured...How are you, sweetheart...??

For a second, geet was completely baffled and then his soothing warmth engulfed her, bringing her racing heart and mind to peace at once. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him replying softly...I am fine. How are you feeling, now...??

Maan smiled hearing her respond in a calm voice and said...I am good and that is why getting discharged...!!

Hearing the word discharge instantly brought her out of the cozy world she was in and pushed him apart but softly, not hurting him.

Oh yes...!!...dont try to distract me...she switched back to her previous avatar...huh...!!...what do you think that you are fit enough to go home...??

Yes...he replied and winked at her moving to his bag. But geet beat him to it and snatched the bag...no you are not. For god sake you were injured just yesterday...

But I am fine, now. See ab toh ghav bhi bhar gaya hai...he said showing his hand which had a relatively light bandage now...and then Ill be at home so rest toh main wahan bhi kar sakta hun...!!

But...

Enough geet...he kept his finger on her lips quietening her...I know you are worried, but trust me, I am absolutely fine. Moreover...he slyly brought her near wrapping his arm around her waist...youll be there to take care of me, isnt it...??...his voice was hypnotically husky and geet feel for it hook line and sinker.

Hmm...par...how I will be there till late night...??...We are getting married and mama wont allow me to stay at KM for long before our wedding...she replied playing with his shirts collar looking really cute.

Maan felt like kissing her senseless then and there, but then dropped the idea...oh, thats a big problem. I would have married you today itself to solve that problem, but we cant be unfair to our families, right...??

She simply nodded much to his surprise as well as amusement. Seems like, she too was ready to be with him forever at the earliest.

But dont worry, love. I have another solution...seeing her curious gaze he replied in a low teasing voice...its time for our balcony to serve its purpose once again...!!

A wide grin was there on maans face seeing the lit up eyes of geet. It was truly his day...he thought chuckling. His sherni was in a mood to dissolve in him. But was he any less...??...No, rather he was much more eager, but the damn situations...!!

So, lets get done with the packing...saying so he tried to take the bag from geet, but she walked past him and started packing placing his clothes in the bag neatly. Another unusual sight for MSK...Geet handa tiding up things...!!

After a while, adi and dev returned along with Mr. Khurana.

Dad...??

What...??...everything wont be according to your wish. You want discharge, fine, but Ill escort you to KM...his father replied in a strict tone.

Dad...!!...maan was exasperated...I already have a lot of company apart from the body guards...!!

So...??...just thank me that I stopped your mom at home. She was hell bent to come...raj simply ignored him and went to geet...so girlfriend, packing done...??

Yup...!!...all done...geet grinned at him and raj relaxed seeing her smile again. She was in such a bad state the previous night. He smiled side hugging her and praised...my gf is really smart, I wish I could say the same for your fianc...he made a face while geet giggled.

Maan rolled his eyes at his fathers antics and turned to dev...dev, is the discharge formalities done...??...I want to leave early...!!

Yes bro, here are the papers. Dad has already talked to the doctor about your medication and other necessary precautions...!!

Hmm, lets move then...he turned to raj and geet and found them engrossed in some light hearted talks and walking towards the door oblivious to others. Maan kept gaping them till they left the room and shook his head murmuring...so much for giving me company...!!

He too left with dev and adi with four trained bodyguards following him while two ahead of geet and raj.

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

They reached KM and naina and rano welcomed maan with an evil warding aarti and other ritual which deemed important in their eyes, while maan patiently waited at the door. Finally after settling down in his own room, maan felt a bit relaxed. It felt good to be back to ones home. No other place provide such comfort and security. He freshened up and then decided to take a nap.

It was evening when he woke up and came down. He found the ladies in the hall hovering over something around the table. He walked up to the sofa where his father and brothers were sitting and asked...what is going on...??

Your wedding card selection...raj replied.

See bhai, how these girls and ladies are hovering over the cards as if some treasure is on display...vicky complained...mujhe dekhne tak nahi diya geet ne. They are at it from past one hour...!!

He saw geet and her female friends along with his mother and rano aunty arguing over various cards kept over the table. He frowned and muttered audibly...ek card selection mein itna time waste...??

Mohinder and raj chuckled and raj gave him his experienced knowledge...beta get ready to waste a lot of time from now on. It is just the start. Once you are up for it, you will be devoting all your precious time in these types of time wasting activities only...!!

The boys laughed at maans horrific expression while the elders chuckled.

But why will I do all these...??...yeh toh ladies ka kaam hai, so let them do it...!!...maan shuddered at the imagination of himself in a mall, shopping for hours, carrying bags like a hanger, while geet and others busy buying the whole mall.

Well, do let your valuable thoughts known to your mother and your fianc, I am sure theyll understand...raj was having the best time of his life at his sons expense. Poor guy had no idea in what situation his dad was going to put him in. Mohinder tried to say something, but raj persuaded maan to do what was told by him when the ladies will ask him.

After that maan left to kitchen to get some water, while mohinder turned to raj...raj, why are you being so mean to your son. You know how these ladies will react on maans denial...especially geet. They will make his life hell...he lamented on maans future sorry state.

Hey, come on yaar. Its been so long I had some fun. Aur waise bhi mere bade bte ki shaadi hai toh apne saare armaan pure karne hain mujhe...dev and Vicky looked at their father like he was some alien, while raj raised his brow asking what and then added...you both should keep your mouth shut about whatever you heard here, got it...??

They nodded at once and then broke into evil grins themselves...dad, you are too good...saying so Vicky jumped on his father hugging him tight and then realising what he did instantly moved back with a stupid grin on his face.

After much arguing cards were selected and other rest of the time was spent in discussing the upcoming wedding rituals which would start in about two weeks. A thrill and excitement was gripping the whole khurana household, while the to be bride and groom were stealing glances at each other, every now and then.

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

Maan was working on some files after dinner. He avoided study as his mother would never let him hear the end of it, if she caught him working. So, the great MSK was stealthily working in his room after assuring his mother that he has slept. He was going through some deal papers, when a sudden low noise caught his attention.

He got alerted immediately and kept the file aside. Tip-toeing towards his balcony, he saw a shadow moving forward. He prepared himself to take down the intruder and grabbed him from behind, only to realize it was her and not just any her, but his very own fianc, his mishty...!!

Though he couldnt see her face from back, he knew she would shout the next moment and thus quickly covered her mouth taking her in his room. She was frantically thrashing her hands and legs, when she heard him whisper...hush love, its me...!!

Sighing with relief, she fell quiet and let him lead her. Finally placing her on his bed, he stood in front of her and asked with crossed arms...what are you doing here, geet...??

She looked at him like he had asked the most stupidest question and replied in duh tone...came to see you, of course...!!

But, I guess we just saw each other an hour back, isnt it...??

Uff, you are so stupid, maan. You forgot...tumhi ne kaha tha na balcony se aana, toh main aa gayi...she replied with such innocence that maan fell for her all over again.

Oh jaan, youll be the death of me...he stooped down and fused his lips with hers for a fiercely passionate kiss taking his daily quota of love from her. He just couldnt get enough of her. Geet fell back on the bed with the force of the kiss, while maan came atop her pressing her down.

What have you done to me, mishty...??...he murmured between the kiss, while geets hazy mind could hardly decipher anything. She was lost in the pool of his passion as always. He had been fiercely passionate since their adolescence and geet loved him this way and every other way as well...!!

When they finally parted, maan fell beside her, both breathing hard. He joined his hand with her and brought it to his lips grazing it lightly with his just-kissed lips.

So, my mishty has taken up my role of sneaking through the balcony...??...he asked with a mischievous grin and pulled her close to him, embracing her in his arms.

I was missing you...she said so simply that maan couldnt help but kiss her lightly once again...and I missed you too. You were so busy today, didnt even spare me a moment...he complain huskily creating tingles in her body.

She shyly looked down...Its for our own wedding, maan. Phir toh main humehsa tumhare hi pass rahungi...!!

Raising her chin with his finger, he made her look up...I wish I could skip all these damn time consuming rituals and keep you here like this with me forever...!!

Geet giggled at his desperation as well as exasperation regarding the rituals causing maan to raise a brow...laughing at my desperation, are we...??...and with an evil smirk jumped on her tickling her mercilessly causing her uninhibited laughter echo throughout the room. They kept talking for a long time till geet fell asleep. Maan gazed at her sleeping form with the softest expression in his eyes and soon went to the land of nod with his princess sleeping cosily in his arms and a contented smile on both their faces.
