Geet sat in the auto rickshaw trying hold herself together ..telling the driver the address to maan's chawl ..still ranting in her head ...she was right ...she is right ...her dad ...what he did was wrong .. maan ...maan needs her ...n she couldn't hold her tears any more ...the thought of maan standing in front of his father as his opponent ...god !! what the hell was she even thinking encouraging him to do this project ..how is she going to face maan now ...what will she say ..?? he must be devastated n how will she take that pain away from him ...
Yeh ..yeh kya kar diya hai dad aapne ...kyun ...y do you have to do this to us dad ...
Kaise sambhaloongi maan ko ...kya kahoongi usko ...?? Please babaji mujhe himmat do ..please ..
**^^**
Maan here on the other side was sitting in the bus like a dead man still reliving that very moment in the conference hall ...remembering the questioning look of adi n that forlorn expression of his dad ..just what the hell was he thinking excepting this project he knew ..he knew KC would be contesting for it even then he went for it ..just how god damn selfish he can get for his ambition n success ..how could I hurt my own father ...the man who has always put my wishes my happiness before everything else the whole world ...how could I !!
****
geet stepped out of the auto hustled ..tears couldn't stop falling from her eyes and the thought what maan would have been going through made her shudder with pain ...just as the auto left ...geet glanced up asking for strength from her babaji ...took a deep breath and wiped her face and turned to see the chawl consumed in darkness ...
her mishty eyes searched the ground ...the floor up and the roof while standing on the threshold of the chawl hoping she would see maan playing with the kids as always but he was no where ...no where to be seen ...her heart beat rose with the thought of where he can be ...and just then few kids collided with her making her loose her balance and fall ...
sorry didi ...
a few tears dropped from her lashes and she looked up shaken ...
humien maaf kardijeye didi ...
yeh kara tum logoon ne ...dekho chot lag gyi hugi didi ko ...ek dum dhyaan nahi dete tum log khel mien ...
nahi ...pls aap bachoon ko daantye mat ..mera bhi dhyaan nahi tha ...
geet putar aapne aur maan bete ne mil kar na aur hi sar charha liya in sab shaitaano ko ...
aunty ji maan ko dekha aapne ..??
nahi putar ...aaj tu wohh dekha hi nahi kahin ...
mene dekha hai maan bhaiya ko ...
gullo ...kahan hai maan ...
woh tu jab se aaye hain apni kholi mien hain ...baat bhi nahi ki kisi se ...mene cricket ke liye bulaya tu aaye bhi nahi ...
par light nahi hai andhere mien betha hai kya ..ghar ke light tu chali nahi hai koi ...
unaware of the worried comments geet walked up stairs ...holding her breaths knowing he must be devastated but still praying against it ...
she was panting by the time she reached in front of his house on the 2nd floor ...but her hands were shaking before knocking ...tears gathered in her eyes again ...she always walked in without any hesitation in this house but today what has happened to their bubble ...suddenly everything seems shattered ...
she took a deep breath and composed herself and knocked ...the door was locked ...geet panicked ..knocked again ...again but no reply ...her heart beats rose and tears couldn't stop falling and she remembered ...she has a spear key ...she looked in her bag ...but couldn't find in the dark ...and everything fell down in her frustration ...and she saw the key and took it ..opened the door and walked in ...
her heart stopped seeing the sight in front of her ...maan was sitting by the couch in complete darkness just the little moonlight from the slits of the window illuminating the room and now the open door ...
maan ...
Maan looked up with his swollen red eyes piercing her heart into million pieces ...
Geet hurried and knelt in front of him and cupped his tear strained face into her both palms ...looking into his eyes ...
Maan yeh ...yeh kya ...///
I failed him geet ... I failed you ...I couldn't. . .///
Shhh ...(geet couldn't look into his eyes anymore and hugged him tight cutting off him mid sentence) ...you didn't ..even if you want to you can't. ..
Tum ne unki aankhien nahi dekhi geet ...
I've hurt him... so much
Buhat naraaz hunge mujh se ...
Itna selfish kaise hugaya mien ...
Tear slipped from her own eyes but she muffled her sobs and held him closer ...maan tightened his hold on her waist with every word he said ...depicting the fire ...the pain he was feeling ...
I couldn't even complete the presentation ..
I just couldn't geet ...
I m sorry ...I...//
Geet looked up into his eyes not believing what he was thinking at this point of time ...
She couldn't be any more angry with her father than now ...
I failed every single person in my life geet ...
Geet cupped his face and made his down casted eyes look up at hers' ...
Maan meri baat suno ...
U can never fail us ...
Tum ne Jo kiya theek kiya ...
Tumhi kehte hu na k tumhare dad tum se iss dunya mien Sab se ziada pyar karte hain (he nodded looking straight into her eyes) tu phir woh tumhain samjhenge maan ...parents ko koi explanation dene ki zarorat nahi huti maan woh humien samajhte hain isshi liye woh humare parents hain jinhoon ne humien janam diya ...
Aur agar aaj k baad kabhi bhi tum ne kaha that you failed me tou ...tou mien tum ne kabhi baat nahi karungi. ...
A tear slipped from her eyes and maan wiped that away while she rested her forehead on his' ...
Maan tum ne Jo kiya bilkul theek kiya ..
U don't have anything to be ashamed of ... kuch galat nahi kiya tum ne ...
Mujhe samajh nahi aaya ...dad ko dekhne k baad I couldn't ...I just couldn't and then I saw your father there and I thought about you. Mien kuch samajh nahi paa raha geet ...
Geet looked up with tear filled eyes and held him captive with the intensity in them ...
Maan humara rishta ...yeh ehsaas ... yeh saath ...kisi challenge ka muhtaaj nahi hai ...
Aur na hi kabhi huga ...
Maan ...I ...I love you 😳
Aur iss sach ko koi nahi badal sakta ...
Mera pyar kisi haar ya jeet ka muhtaaj nahi hai ...
Mene tum se pyar kiya hai aur apni aakhri saans tak karungi ...
Geet ...
Maan always knew she likes loved him but hearing her say that just blew him off ... he never knew it would feel so incredible ...the loved in her eyes could drown him in its depths and he couldn't ask for anything more from her now ...
Tears gathered in her eyes and maan engulfed her in his embrace ...they both rejoiced in each others touch as if they have found water in the desert after years ...
Maan held her close to him his hand snaking around her waist while she held him around his torso ...all the worries ...the guilt ...the tension fading away in this moment of pure love ...
A tear slipped from maan's eyes and fell on geets bare shoulder and she instantly parted ...looking at his wet lashes ...her heart pained knowing somewhere she is responsible for his tears ...
Maan kept looking at her loved filled eyes in wonder ...while she closed the distance between them and kissed away the tears from his eyes one after the other surprising him ...
Geet looked at him with all the love she had always kept hidden deep in her heart ...maan saw the tear trails straining her beautiful face and he cupped her face in his right palm and wiped the tears off her cheeks and she closed her eyes feeling his touch soothing her aching heart ...her hands clutched his torso tighter while she closed her eyes leaning into his warmth ..
Maan kissed her closed eyes one at a time urging her to open them ..
and she did ...she looked into his and saw the fear ...the pain still there shining in his eyes ...
She nodded negatively and hugged him not knowing how she can assure him ...maan held her tighter not believing his luck ...not believing after all that's happened she is still here ...
Geet sobbed in his embrace feeling so stupid to have encouraged him for this project for not realizing brij handa was fooling them ...how will she tell maan all this ...will he believe that she wasn't involved with them ...of course he will ...oh I hope he will
Maan tried to part her and see her face but she held him tighter fearing her eyes will give her away ...still maan did and tip her face above through his index finger ..
Maan kissed her tears away from her eyes ...cupping her face in one hand and holding her close from her waist from other ...geet closed her eyes feeling his intimate touch for the first time arousing something new deep in her ..maan kissed her wet cheeks ...now red with blush ...while she held his torso not being able to control her thudding heart beats ..
Her eyes were close ...lips slightly parted and her hold on his shoulder was so strong ...she looked the divine beauty ..and only his' the thought gave him a rush of adrenaline ...
Geet felt his heated gaze upon her even with her eyes closed ...she opened her eyes feeling him still and saw the intense look in his eyes ...she tried to move away but he held her close jerking her forward making her softness collide with his hard chest ..
Maan ...
She gasped with their close contact ...and looked at him into feel lost in his raw love ...there was so much confusion in those eyes geet couldn't fathom and as if on thr own accord her hand cupped his face ..
Maan's hand traveled up from her waist to the nape of hr neck and the touch of his
warm hand on her cool skin made them both shudder ...their eyes lost in each other ..the need to feel more so clear in their eyes ...for the first time they were not able to deny the pull ...maan looked at hr slightly parted lips and back at her ...the desires were uncontrollable tonight ...and she gave into her heart leaving all the logic behind and closed the distance between their lips ...
That one touch made everything fade away ...maan' guilt ...geets' fear ...all the conspiracies ...everything ...it was just them and their love ...when maan took her lower lip into his and seek entry their tongues met ..making them aware just how much they love each other ...maan hand snaking her petite form while her hands grasping his neck massaging his scalp making him go wild with her full body pressed into him ...nothing mattered anymore ...she was there with him and that's all he ever wished for ...
They both parted breathless ...their heart beat still wild ...he rested his forehead on hers while she clutched the back of his neck with both hand for support ...
I love you ...
Geet looked up into his eyes and smiled seeing them filled with love ...she loosened her hold and wiped the few wet drops on his lashes ...and hugged him ...hiding herself in his warmth ...while maan held her closer coz right now it was only her that could calm his ragging heart beats ...
Just then the lights came and geet realized she was almost in his lap ...it was so easy to get lost in their love and passion ...and suddenly she was so conscious of what happened ...the whole blood of her body rushed to her cheeks making them go tomato red ...she parted and stepped back from his embrace feeling so nervous suddenly ...the color of her face was enough to tell maan that his mishty was under her blushing trance ...a smile formed on his face after hours seeing the girl who was so authoritatively consoling him now blushing like a bride ...geet was looking everywhere but him and before maan could tease her Asha tai walked in ...
Beta yeh sab samaan kis ka hai darwaaze par ...
Geet stood up with a jerk setting her office shirt right and hurried past tai ...
Wohh mera samaan hai tai ...gir gaya tha ...
Maan shook his head at her hustled state ..
Aap aaiye na tai bethiye ...light sab ke ghar mien aagayi na ...
Han beta ...bas iss light ne tu pareshaan kar diya hai ...dekho na raat kitni hugayi aur aab aayi hai ...
Geet ...kya kar rahi hai ...sambhaal apne aapko ...aise blush kar rahi hai jaise kiss nahi pata nahi kya kya hugaya ...chi chi ...geet chup ...bilkul chup huja ..pata nahi kya soche ja rahi hai ...abhi dekhna choro hujayega wohh tujhe tease karna ...
Phewww ...deep breath geet ..take a deep breath ...han bas sab theek hai ...
Putting all the things back in her bag she stood up straightened herself and looked inside and saw maan and tai busy talking random stuff ...nobody can say this guy was so broken a minute before ...geet's eyes got mishty realizing how the circumstances has changed maan ...he use to be the most expressive guy she ever met and now within minutes he can conceal his emotions ..just then maan glanced up at her and saw her staring at him ..his eyes questioned her and she nodded negatively ...and maan saw her smudged lipstick ...a slight blush formed on his face as well remembering the beautiful moment they just shared ...he eyed her to wipe it off ...but she narrowed eyes not understanding ...
Maan gave up after a few more tries and stood up ...
Asha tai wohh mene apni family ki picture dekhane ko kaha tha na ...geet ke paas hai abhi aapko dekhata hoon ...
Mere paas ...
Han geet tumhare paas hi hai ...(he took fast steps and stood infront of her covering her full form)
Dekho apne bag mien tumhare paas thi tu ...
Par maan ...///
Her voice got stuck in her throat when his fingers touched her lower lip already sensitive due to their earlier act and her eyes widen ...maan looked at her eyes while wiping the excess lipstick smudged around her lower lip and it took every ounce of his control not to kiss her again looking at the way she was gazing at him ..
Kya hua mili kya ...
Maan stepped back n geet saw the color of her lipstick on his fingers and she looked down ...
Nahi ...nahi asha tai wohh yeh ghar bhool aayi apne ...
Koi baat nahi ...waise mien yeh sabzi dene aayi thi mene banai tujhe pasand hai na ..
Kha lena dono
Geet : Thanks tai ...
Kha liya kar kuch ...kal ko bache bhi paida karne hai tune ...khayegi nahi tu kaise itni taqat laayegi ...😆😆
Maan coughed in surprise while drinking water while Geets' eyes widen and she looked away in embarrassment ...and asha tai left smiling ... maaneet looked away and when their eyes met ..they fell into fits of laughter ...in between maan saw blood stains on geet's sleeves and he rushed towards her ...
Geet yeh kya hua hai ...?? Kaise hua yeh ..??
Arre yeh kuch nahi ...bas wohh gir gayi thi neeche bas ...choro na maan kuch nahi hai ...
Yeh kuch nahi hai ..?? khoon nikla hai geet aur tum ...dhyaan nahi rakh sakti tum apna ...
Maan theek hoon mien ...
U know what just shut up ...aur chalo mere saath ...
Maan dragged her to the wash basin and unbuttoned her sleeves and rolled it up carefully and geet flinched with the fabric rubbing off her wound ...
Yeh kuch nahi hai na ...
Geet kept looking at the worried face of his' ...every time she seemed to have fallen more in love with this person ...so emotional for his loved ones yet so strong within ...while maan was cleaning her wound with dettol ..geet asked him softly ..
Maan ...
Hmm ...
Tum theek hu ...??
Maan stopped in his track and glanced at her .. he couldn't lie to this one girl ...ever !!
Yeh hugaya ..mien ointment lata hoon ...
Just as he was about to leave geet held his arm and stopped him ...
Maan ...please baat karo mujh se ...kya soch rahe hu tum ...
Kya bataon geet ...kuch nahi hai batane ko ..
I ..i am glad that u are with me ...but dad
Dad ko kaise sab explain karunga mien ...I don't know how to face him ..
Wohh tumhare dad hain maan ...tum se ziada waqt k liye naraaz nahi hunge ...
U think so ...
I know so ..
Mere maan hain hi itne pyare ...koi ziada waqt tak naraaz reh hi nahi sakta ..
Maan smiled at her cuteness and kissed her forehead ..
Chalo ointment lagana hai ...
Maan was searching for ointment while geet was thinking how to tell him about what her father did ...and just as he sat beside her ...
Maan mujhe ...mujhe kuch batana hai aapko ..
Geet pehle dawai lagwalo ..phir
Maan suno na ..
Geet pehle dawai ..
Geet snatched her hand out of his hold and stood up ...
Maan kuch important hai tab hi keh rahi hoon ..please ek baar meri baat sunlo ..
Maan looked at her ...and saw the troubled expression and he stood up ...
Okie fine ...iss mien itna upset hone wali kya baat hai ...
Bolo kya kehna hai ..i m listening ...
Maan ..wohh ..(geet looked down gulping her saliva ..clutching her hands tight in nervousness) ...maan aaj jo kuch hua ..(a tear slipped out of her eyes) ..yeh sab ...yeh sab papa aur brij veerji ki planning thi ...
What !!
Geet glanced up and saw the anger building up in his eyes ...and she looked away ..
Wohh chahte thay k tum iss situation mien aayo ...ya tu yash uncle tum se naraaz hujayen ya mien tumhain galat samjhoon ..iss hi liye brij veerji ne mujhe galat information puhanchayi ...I swear maan mujhe bilkul idea nahi tha papa aur brij bhai yeh sab karenge ...
Geet ...(the surprise in his voice made her look at him and he held her arms).. tum soch bhi kaise sakti hu that ill blame you for this ...
Nahi ..wohh mien bas clear ...//
You don't need to ...
Maan wiped her tear away ...
Tum pagal hu geet ...beside unka plan fail hi hua hai ...so it doesn't matter ..
Geet kept looking at him in surprise ...how can he be so cool even after knowing all this ...and her blank stare made maan confused ,,,
Kya hua aise kyun dekh rahi hu ...??
Mujhe laga tha ..tum buhat ghussa huge papa par brij bhai par ..
Geet ghussa unse hute hain jin se koi rishta huta hai ...aur unfortunately tumhare dad se rishta banne mien abhi time hai ...
Beside its not surprising ...unka yeh sab karna
And unko jo karna tha unhoon ne karliya ...
And still you r here tou kya ghussa hoon mien un par ...mujhe humdardi karni chahiye unse ...itni mehnat se banaya hua plan 50% fail hugaya ..
50% ..??
Dad ko mana baaqi hai abhi ...
Wohh maan jayenge ...
I hope so ...
Acha abb dawai lagane do mujhe phir tumhain ghar bhi chorna hai time dekho ..
Geet held his hand to stop him ...
Maan ... ek baat aur hai ...
Abb kya ...kuch future planning bhi thi kya ...
Maan ...
Acha ok sorry ...no mazaak ..
Mujhe jab pata chala tu mera dad se jhagra hugaya aur mien yahan aagayi ..
Tou ...?? (geet wasn't really able to say out loud that her dad has disowned her ...the thought only was so painful for her ...she could give words to it) ...geet meri taraf dekho ...(she couldn't).. GEET ...(he tipped her chin up to see in her eyes and the sorrow they were reflecting was telling him so much but he couldn't believe it) ...mujhe puri baat batao kya hua ...
And she narrated all that happened ...
I don't believe this ..
Maan wohh ...wohh mujhe tum se milne bhi nahi dena chahte ...
Maan wiped the tears away from her face ...
Shh ...koi humien alag nahi karega geet ...koi bhi nahi
Yeh wada hai mera tum se ...
