PART - 3
With a heavy heart Maan left the aircraft, with the only hope of seeing her again. Soon he was escorted into the airport, by his crew towards the exit. After several one on one's between his heart and mind, his mind finally won, he decided to snap out of his dreams and concentrate on his London project. Soon he reached the venue for his deal, where the deal went off with quite an ease. The clients undoubtedly were left highly impressed by Maan. Soon the deal was signed, giving Maan peace of mind after months of hard work. Now that his work was done, it was time to bid good bye to London, not before trying to locate the whereabouts of this Mishty. As Maan was leaving the airport, he had asked some of his men to watch over Geet, which would help him, see her later. As Maan exited the hotel, he saw his men standing adjacent to the cars, waiting for their departure. As soon as he approached them, he eyed them with question in his eyes, waiting for details about her.
" Sir..according to your orders we did wait for Maam.! After a while of wait, she did come out and soon left with a guy. " He replied with a serious face.
" And.? Where did she go.? " Maan questioned with confused expressions, and a plain face.
" We lost her Sir.! We tried our best to follow her, but we missed her due to the accident that took place. " He answered in a low voice, fearing Maan's reaction.
Though Maan was angered to no limits for his staff's carelessness, but he was sensible enough to not scream on them for destiny's game. May be that's what was written, may be they were never meant to meet again. What can he do now.? She doesn't even belong to London for him to find her. With dejection filling him, he decided to leave. He walked off towards his car followed by his guards. Soon he was seated in his jet, pulling away from London; the city which gave him his reason for existence.
Present
" Sir we have reached London " the airhostess called out to him.
Maan smiled to himself, and nodded acknowledging her words. Maan always amusingly thought to himself, of what that one trip on a flight changed his life into. Had he not been on that flight, would he ever have met his misthy.? Would he madly have fallen for her.? There were innumerable questions in his mind, but to his dismay, he never got the answers for the questions. With the thoughts lingering in his mind, he once again left to face London after 2 years. Soon his work was done and he was all set to return back to Delhi, unknown to what the future holds for him.
Khurana Mansion
As soon as Maan walked through the huge doors of Khurana Mansion, he could easily sense a new aura in the mansion. He could feel her in the wind of the mansion. His heart started beating faster than ever in its cage, failing to place the sudden change in the atmosphere. He was clouded with questions like, why does he feel her here.? How can she be here in KM.? Even if she is at KM'What is she doing here.? Ha s she come to meet him.? His mind and heart were out of control, yet he couldn't stop himself from drifting to the thought that has eaten him p these 2 years'Does she love him too.? Is that why she Is here.? He couldn't control his erratic heartbeats, nor his racing mind. Lost in his daze, he didn't even realize that he was lost abnormally.
" Mishty.! " he smiled softly, allowing her aura to sink in to him, making him numb by every passing minute.
" Maan " He heard someone call him. He was so lost in his trance that he failed to notice, the owner of the voice. With sudden happiness budding in him, he jerked his head towards the voice, and hugged the person tight, into a bone crushing hug.
" Maan..Are you okay.? Whats wrong bte.? " Dadi asked frantically, startled with his behavior. She sensed some change in him, so she slowly caressed his back trying to calm him down. Maan slowly pulled out of the hug, with happiness beaming on his face. Dadi was delighted to see her grandson, extremely happy after a long time.
" Maan..I am asking you something..Is everything okay.? " She asked again, trying to figure out the reason behind his smile. Her mind was playing all the possibilities one by one..Could it be that her grandson was in love.? She could have actually danced her heart out with the thought itself..All she needed was a confirmation.
" Yes Daadi..Everything is okay.! Why.? " He asked, trying to hide his smile behind his confused expressions. He didn't want his Daadi to get another reason to tease him to death. God forbid, if she came to know about his condition, she won't leave one chance unturned to play along.
" Nothing Maan. Actually, I saw you smiling without any reason, so wanted to confirm if you are still normal, or the London trip has taken away the only sanity my grandson had " She chuckled with a teasing smile on her face.
" No Daadi..I am absolutely normal. Just the way I was before I went. " He replied with a smirk, challenging Daadi in her playful teasing game. Both of them broke into laughter, that it when it struck Maan , How could he feel his Mishty in KM...? There was no possible chance she would be here.? Is that even possible.? Seizing his chance, he decided to ask Daadi.
" Daadi is someone else here .? " He asked as innocently as possible..trying his best to not give away too much to Daadi.
" Ah yes Bete.! There is someone I would like you to meet.! She came down today morning from Mumbai and will be here with us for a while.! " Daadi replied calmly.
The moment the words " She " tagged with " Mumbai" sunk into him, an unknown happiness ran through his body, as it clearly reminded him of his mishty. Something deep inside his heart was challenging his debating mind, that it was none other than his mishty. His heart was beckoning him to run and see her to quench the thirst of his longing eyes, while his mind continued with the usual practicality speech. Soon, he was lost in his own dreamland about his angel, the feel of her presence. Daadi was watching him intently, as to what made a smile creep up his cheeks. She was confused as to what about the news made him so happy about it.
" Maan..Where are you lost.? " She tried to being him back from his trance. After a couple of minutes, he finally realized Daadi was staring at him in utter confusion. He immediately shrugged off the thoughts and smiled at her.
"Nothing Daadi.! Its just that I was thinking about how well the London project went. " He quickly answered Daadi, to avoid her playful interrogation. But the damage was already done, Daadi could already see her grandson dancing on the tunes of love. She smiled contently, thinking finally her dream is coming true.
" Okay then Bete..You go and get ready.! I will ask Nakul to serve the dinner.! You must be tired'You can eat early and have some rest.! "
" Yes Daadi..I am tired.! I will quickly freshen up and come back." saying so, he left the hall to get fresh. Soon he entered his room, leaving the door behind him open. No one dared entered his room, without his permission, with the only exceptions applying to Daadi. He stood under the shower, under the cool droplets of water relaxing his out of control heart beats and cursing himself for imagining Geet everywhere and acting like a fool infront of Daadi too.
" Maan..What is wrong with you.? How can you imagine her everywhere? How can she be any where you wish her to be.? Its been 2 years since you saw her for the first and last time, so she can be anywhere in Mumbai, or for that matter any other place? Stop being so dramatic, before your secret is spilled out in open.!!!. Not leaving the thoughts, he shut off the shower and wrapped himself in a towel, coming out of the washroom. He was so deep into his thoughts that he missed the figure standing in front of him, with the back only visible. As he moved forward, he ended up colliding with the person, causing both of them lost their balance making them fall on the bed. Maan's dream was broken into a million pieces of reality when he realized that his Mishty was right here with him, in his arms. He stared at her, without blinking his eyes for a second too, scared that his bliss might turn out to be a dream again. Their bodies were plastered together causing a heat of desire to erupt in Maan. He wanted to feel every inch of her smooth skin with his hands. How can he not want her when she is so close to him.?? He was in no condition to realize if it was his dream or a beautiful reality. In his trance, senseless, he started leaning towards to the angel beneath him, that's when a slight push jerked him back to reality. He snapped open his eyes, too meet her closed hazels. Finally it dawned upon him that his angel, his misthy, his Geet was actually in the room, and moreover in the same bed, in his arms. He felt highly embarrassed and got up at once.
" What the hell are you doing here.? " He screamed at her, to hide his embarrassment, He had again lost his senses cause of her. He was pondering on a " Block-Mishty-Thoughts-Mission " in which he was failing miserably.
" I am sorry.! Woh'I was'I was looking around the house.! I am sorry I didn't see you coming.! " She said meekly, looking down not able to meet his eyes. He awed looking at his cute misthy, controlling his pervert thoughts; he made a stern face, to prevent himself from loosing himself to her. Her lowered hazels, made him realize that she hadn't seen him yet, let alone recognizing him. He prayed that she remembers him, though there was no assurance that she would.
" Geet I meant..What are you doing in my room.? "He asked her sharply. He watched her head snap up, in shock. Her hazels met his, taking half of his senses away again, still he held himself together somehow.
" How do you know m... " She started with confusion. But as soon she saw him, her eyes widened in utter shock, because least she dreamt of was being in his room, moreover with him on his bed. " MAAAN.!!!!!!??? " She shrieked in happiness, shock and embarrassment. Her scream, made him shut his ears with his hands.!
" Shhh.!!! Geet.! " He tried calming her down, before anyone comes up to see them like that.
" I am so so'so'sorry'Woh'Woh'.Woh'.I was looking at the house.! Then..I came into this room..I..I 'I'I..dont know this was'..yo'your room.! I am sorry Mr.Khurana..I didn't mean to hurt you.! Please'Maan..I am.. "She started stammering, looking at him. He could feel tears building up in those deep hazels, at once he grabbed her by her hand and pulled her closer to his chest, causing her to crash to his taut chest. At once, he placed his finger on her plump rose petals silencing her with his touch. Her eyes grew wide at his act.
" Chup.!!! Bilkul Chup.! Geet..Why do blabber so much without giving the opposite person a chance to talk.?? Why are you stammering and crying .? Are you scared of me.? "He asked in a mild tone, trying his best to not scare her further.
" No..Woh..I thought'That..you were..angry to see me in your room. That's the reason I got scared, thinking of your reaction..That's why the stammering and the almost crying. I am not scared of you otherwise. You look scary..but you are not that scary at all'In fact you are very sweet than you seem to be.. You were so nice to me the first time we met..I was really scared of the flight and you comforted me..Which was so nice of you. .. " She blabbered as usual. Maan let out a sigh, in amusement thinking how can a person be so adorable.! He was enjoying her rants to his cores, a teasing smile forming on his lips. Geet noticed it and at once shut her mouth, mentally smacking herself for chattering again.
" Wait.! You..You..You are Dadima's grandson.? " She asked in disbelief. To shock her more..Maan started howling at her question. She shot an angry glare towards him, making him howl even more. She was clueless of what was the joke, to which Maan Singh Khurana was howling like never before.! Seeing her confused state, Maan laughed even more.! That was it, Geet lost her cool and stomped her foot which accidentally landed on Maan's foot.! His howling changed to whimpering at once, which made Geet let out a musical laughter. He was dazed as usual, at her cuteness.. But remembering his pain..He roared..
" GEEETTT.!!!! You stomped on my foot.! WHY.!! "He shot a deadly glare in her direction, silencing her at once.
" Because you were laughing, or rather howling unnecessarily. WHAT WAS SO FUNNY.???!!!! " She asked him with big eyes. Maan remembered her question and laughed again. But seeing her state..he calmed himself and controlled the giggles which were erupting within.
"You asked ..Are you Dadima's grandson.?? THAT WAS WHAT WAS FUNNY.! " He said laughing again. " Geet..every grandson is his dadima's grandson " He corrected her, making her fume even more in anger. She couldn't believe that her one sentence would make her look like an idiot.
" Ughhh.!!!! You know that's not what I meant.! So stop laughing like a maniac. Chup..!!!! " She shrieked in irritation seeing the teasing smile on his face. Seeing him still laugh, she stomped her foot again and left the room. Maan realized that he angered his cutie pie, he grabbed a vest and tracks from his wardrobe, pulled them on quickly and hurried out of the room. He ran through the corridors to find his blabbering queen, so he did find her to be busy in the usual complaining session. She was cribbing to her Babaji about him. He felt zeal of happiness run through him, to see her after so long, close to him. He could feel her aura filling every cell of his body, craving for her. He slowly walked up to her, smiling at her and tapped her shoulder.
" Geet..Meri baat suno'I didn't mean to hurt you.! Its just that the way you said it was very funny. Isnt it obvious that If she is Dadimaa..then I am her grandson.! " He tried to calm her down, trying his best to hide a smile.
" Maan..I know that. What I meant was..You are Savitri Devi's grandson. " She clarified, seeing him she could still see the teasing smile on his face.
" Aap phir mera mazaak uda rahe ho.? " She cried in disbelief. Maan instantly made a plain face.
" No Geet.! Okay I am sorry.! Really sorry.! " He said with a smile. Geet smiled too..accepting his genuine apology.
" Yes Savitr Devi is my grandma " He answered her unasked question, leaving her to deal with her own thoughts.
' By the way..What are you doing here in KM.??!! " He asked excitement oozing out of his voice.
" Maan Bete.. she is the guest I was talking about..She will be staying with us for a while.! " Daadi came answering his question. Seeing his confused expressions, she continued..
" Bete..You remember Aaditya and Archana.?? " She continued.
" Mr and Mrs. Malhotra you mean.? " Maan asked surprised, as it had been a long time he heard about the Malhotras from his Daadi.
" Yes beta ! Geet lives with them, she has come here looking for a job and they requested me to take care of her as she knows no one in the city. So I suggested Geet lives with us. "replied Daadimaa. " She will be here with us..Hope that isn't a problem with you bte.? "She asked intently as she already sensed Maan's changed behavior.
"NO.!!!! Not a problem at all " Maan instantly replied, almost screaming at the thought of his Mishty going away again. Daadi was surprised at his reaction and now sure of something cooking up in her ever-so-smart grandson's mind.
" All right then.. Lets proceed for dinner.! By the way..Do u both already know each other.??! "Asked Daadima narrowing her eyes in suspicion, rather her intention was to find out the connection between the two, already sensing the changed behavior of Maan.
" Yes Dadima..I have met Geet before.! We met on our to London 2 years back..Thats how we met each other " He replied instantly..not giving his Daadi to carry on with her detective-giri.!
" Ahhh..Is it.?? That's nice.! Well then..lets have dinner.! " She smiled naughtily at Maan, which thankfully he missed.
The dinner was a quite affair. The three of them, had their dinner quietly, with Maan stealing glances at his misthy from the corner of his eyes. Dadimaa and Geet engaged into a conversation about Aaditya and Archana, while Maan kept watching and listening to them. After the dinner, Geet wished Maan and Dadima for the night and went towards her room. After a while Maan too followed her after wishing Daadi and went towards his own room.
" I can't believe she is actually here.! Does it mean she is destined to be with me.? Otherwise off all the places why would she be here.?? " He asked himself.
" Maan.? Where are you lost.?? I am noticing you seem to very lost today.?? What's in your mind bte.?? I have been knocking and you didn't even realize it.?? ' Daadi asked entering the room.
" Ohh..Sorry Daadi.! How come you are here.?? Is all okay Daadi.?? " He asked panicking.
" Maan..I am fine.! I came here to talk about something else. I have come here to talk about you and Geet " Dadimaa said with a smile, expecting Maans reaction. Just like she expected, Maans face drained and became pale hearing Geet's name.
" What about her.? " Maan asked, trying his best to hide his feelings, masking an expression of confusion.
" Arre bte..Dont you think you under estimate your Daadi too much.! I know Geet is the girl whom you fell in love with 2 years back.! Hain na..?? Don't say I am wrong..I know you too well Maan " She replied an I-know-It-all expression and a smirk on her face..!
" Daadi..? How do you know.?? I mean'how.?? I'..never'..You' " Maan stammered, totally belwidered.
"How did Daadi come to know of my feelings .? Even if she knows..How did she conclude it to be for Geet.? Damn man..This is what I wanted to avoid.! Giving away too much.! I tried hiding it so much..But Daadi..Uff.! Now she will tease me to death.! Awww..My grandson is finally in love.! I knew that someday this would happen.! Bete..You should get married'and GRANDCHILDREN.!!!!! PHEW.!!!! Okay Maan..Get ready for the drama queen to being her drama.! PHEW.! GOD SAVE ME.! " He screamed mentally.
" Maan..I am your Daadi beta.! The way I saw you looking at her, while coming down the stairs I could see the love you possessed for her. How can I not know then.? You love her a lot right.? When you came back from London 2 years back..I could see a different happiness on your face, which made it clear that my grandson was finally in love.! But I also saw you sad and gloomy sometimes, I understood that there is something which is bothering you.! I was waiting thinking you will come to me and talk to me about it, but I decided to give you your own space.! Didn't you notice, in these 2 years I haven't been bothering you about marriage cause I know, my grandson is not weak to lose his love, so I waited for you to come and tell me about her.! And today when you saw Geet, I could see the same happiness filling your eyes, so it just took me that instant to realize that she is the girl. I am so proud of you bte, you have chosen the perfect girl, no one can be better than her for you.! You always have my blessing bte, I know she is the one written for you.! Your Daadi is always with you.! " She smiled at him lovingly.
Maan couldn't control his emotions, he grabbed her in a tight hug, and let his tears spill which were brimming up in his eyes for 2 years yet he never let them spill. Daadi could feel his emotions; she smoothly caressed his back, with small pats, comforting him.
" I love you Daadi.! You are the best..You never let me miss mom. Yes Daadi, I love her.! I love her very much. I fell in love with her, the very first time I saw her on the aircraft to London. I tried to find her in London too, but I failed. I came back, searched her in India, but again failed. I gave up thinking, if she is written to be with me, I will surely find her one day and see Daadi, the day has come! My Geet is back in my life, forever this time.! "Maan said pouring out his feelings to Daadi, who was smiling at her love struck grandson.
" Accha..achha.! Now stop whining like a girl and tell me your love story.! " She added teasingly, to enlighten the mood. Maan shot an angry glare at her, then chuckled at his own excitement.
Maan narrated the entire scene of how he met his angel, their conversation, her cuteness, her babajii chants and finally their good bye.! Daadi all the while was smiling at him, seeing him so lost in his memories. She was now sure, Maan was madly in love with Geet, which made her happy and proud.
" Maan.! I am really happy for you.! I have full faith in your love. Its late bte..You are tired too..So you should go to bed now.! "She said, getting up to leave.
" Yes Daadi..I am tired.! Good night Daadi.! Love you.! "He said taking her in a side hug.
" I love you too bte. Good night.! "She smiled, and left the room happily, leaving Maan to deal with his mishty's thoughts.
Maan laid on the bed, closed his eyes and drifted along with his sleep, into a world of peace.
