LAST PART
Geet sat with a puffed face in the car while Maan drove without a word towards their destination. His silence irked her off, as he didn't bother answering any of her questions, neither could she see where they were off to as she was blindfolded, on top of that clueless about that Maan was upto. Maan laughed seeing her angered face, although he knew she would thank him in the end. The car sped towards its destination, while Geet kept cribbing about him occasionally which he royally ignored infuriating her to no limits. Geet sighed in relief as the car finally came to a halt and she felt Maan's hand gently pulling her out of the car.
Are we here now.? She asked excited.
Yes, we are. Finally your wait is over.! He whispered in her ears, his warm breath tickling her ears. She felt his hands over her waist, leading her forward as her eyes had only blackness to offer. Her breath hitched as they came to a stop, air whistling past her carrying an enthralling fragrance. It smelled of roses and orchids filling her nostrils with the redolence. She inhaled a lungful of the fragrance as it freshened her mood, making it all the way more exciting for her. Her thoughts were broken when she no longer felt the warmth of Maan's touch on her, the loss of his warmth seeping through her skin and the loss of his breath fanning her shoulders and ears. Geet ran her hand through the air trying to hold on to him, which only held the emptiness making her worried about his sudden disappearance. After calling out to him and getting no reply, Geet angrily pried off the blindfold off her eyes to see if he was playing some of his pranks. Geet eyes scanned the place around her, yet he was nowhere. A few minutes late, she was finally able to get her thoughts off him and noticed the place, it was a beautiful and serene place, located in a peaceful corner away from the city, with greenery and soothing silence adorning its surroundings. Just as she was about to call out to him again, her eyes caught the beauty that stunned her. Her gaze followed the long and feathery path covered with petals wanting her attention, the path followed along the walkway leading towards the entrance of the house that beautifully stood there, proud and glowing. She didn't need any more confirmation about all of it being Maan's doing as she walked towards the path in awe, ready to be swooned away by him. Before stepping on the feathery, she grabbed a few petals and felt the soft surface of the petals nestle her skin. A tranquil smile spread across her face as she walked towards the azure that stood with its arms wide open ready to claim her. She was sure it would be the beginning of their world today. Just as she was about to enter through the door into the house, a basket placed at her side caught her gaze. Geet lifted open the box the basket held to find two beautiful and delicate red roses placed in the box, while a mirror was embedded in the lid of the box. A smile spread across her face as she admired them in awe. Taking the roses in her hand, she looked at the note along with them.
" For the smile that adorns the most beautiful face in my world, brightening every moment of my life "
Geet's smile widened as she read the note, caressing his handwriting over the note. Ever gesture by him was making her more shallow and vulnerable to her feelings. Holding the roses closer to her heart, she pushed open the door to be rooted in her place. Beautiful would be an understatement; the place was celestial and blissful to no limits. White and red curtains swayed down the walls, with candles lighting up every corner of the room. Roses and orchids, along with their alluring incense filled the room, although her eyes only searched for him. Geet's eyes caught another similar basket placed infront of her, demanding her attention. She opened the box to find 2 more roses with a similar note. As she followed each basket placed for her, with roses and notes carrying a loveable message for every part of her with the most precious emotions , Geet found it unbearable to hold on to her overflowing emotions, all she wanted was to crush herself in his arms, the only solace her heart could crave for. He had asked her to wait till he makes the moment special, and nothing could have made it more special. With a bunch of roses in her hand, Geet walked around the room towards the enormous wall awaiting her, covered with a bright red cloth. Geet looked around in a hope of getting a glimpse of him, yet he was nowhere to be seen. With shaky hands Geet held the soft cloth between her hands, took a deep breath and slowly pulled on the cloth. As the cloth fell to the floor, she started at the wall in oblivion capturing the beautiful surprise the wall held for her. Tears welled up in her eyes as the picture sunk in, the wall held a huge painting of her, with the three magical words " I LOVE YOU GEET " decorated in rose petals. Her heart swelled with happiness and the tears made their way down her eyes, it couldn't have been more dreamier or blissful than this. She simply wanted to hold Maan tight and pour out her heart to him. Gently, she raised her hand and caressed the wall feeling the love seep through her skin. All she wanted was to be with Maan now, closing her eyes she softly said his name knowing he was close by, watching her. As the words left her mouth and reached him Maan stood behind her watching her with love, though her back faced him yet he knew how moved she was.
Geet.! He called out softly but it was loud enough for Geet to hear it. Her eyes snapped open hearing his voice behind her, without wasting even a moment she turned back and ran towards him hurling herself into his waiting arms. Her arms tightly clamped around his neck, as she hid herself into his shoulder blade, while Maan held her tightly around her waist, crushing her closer.
I love you, I love you so much Maan.! I can't even express how much I loved all of this, you promised to make the moment special but its something beyond the word special. I love you.! She breathed onto him, with tears streaming down her hazels. Her lips pressed into his nape, as he clearly felt how happy she was at the moment. His lips stretched into a broad smile, all of it was true and she was truly in his arms, saying those words which he always craved for. He lifted her off her feet and swung her around in happiness, there was no limit to their happiness. Both had finally found the ultimate solace.
I love you too Jaan, I love you so much. You don't know how happy I am today, to finally hear the words which I was always craving for. He said putting her down on her feet, he pulled her out of the hug his hands intact on her waist and smacked his lips on hers with much more intensity. His lips devoured hers biting, sucking and licking them, drowning both of them in the world of love. Geet threaded his hair while trying to match his passion. Beating him into the kiss, she bit his lower lip and dived into his mouth while Maan on the other smiled into the kiss. Being the control freak he always was, Maan harshly bit her lower lip and took control of the kiss, tasting all the sweet crevices of his personal heaven. Geet felt cheated and smacked his back playfully, but didn't break the kiss. The passion between the two simply kept escalating as both felt the need to deepen the kiss. Both were so lost in the kiss that neither of them realized the bed close to them and a moment late Geet's leg hit the bed and losing the balance she fell, taking him along with her, breaking the kiss.
Careful Jaan.! He murmured, holding her steady as she searched for his lips, yet it didn't help as her head hit the side of the bed. Geet opened her eyes and pouted as the pain slightly caught her off guard. Maan saw the cute pout on her face, her puffed face with red nose and chuckled, kissing her nose.
You're so mean.! Laughing at me already, it happened because of you and here you are laughing at me. She said narrowing her eyes. Maan smiled hearing her and pulled her up by her waist, plastering her body to his.
Me.? Why because of me.? It's you who lost your balance and took me along. So the fault was yours not mine. He murmured huskily, a few inches from her lips, his eyes locked with hers.
That's because I was too busy kissing you, so it's not my fault. She blurted out and shut her mouth as soon as she realized what she had blurted out. Maan smirked hearing her and the panicked look on her face made her more adorable.
Aahan.? He grinned making Geet flush in embarrassment; laughing at her own stupidity she hid herself in the crook of his neck. Maan hugged her and inhaled her aroma making his senses go crazy. His heart beat in harmony finding her so close, although his brain was yet to register the reality of the evening. Maan's thoughts travelled back to the day he had actually met her and lost her the same day, his eyes welled up thinking about the 2 years he spent without her, yearning to find about her whereabouts.
I can't tell you how happy I am today Mishty.! I couldn't have asked more from life. He spoke hugging her closer; Geet was too lost in his words until one particular word caught her attention. She pulled out of the hug and eyed him with narrowed eyes.
Who's Mishty.? She questioned with an angered face. Maan at once realized he had called her Mishty in his trance. He looked at her with a guilty face and was amused to see the anger and jealousy on her face but soon realized it was time he told her the truth about his feelings.
Jaan, Mishty is the girl I fell in love with two years ago on a flight to London.! I met her for the first time that day and lost my heart to my Mishty. I lost her that day itself, no matter how much I tried to find her I couldn't find her. I gave up the hope of seeing her again, but destiny brought her to me. I came back from London one day to find her in my house and she soon joined my office. No one could have been happier than me that day, the day I found her again. As time passed, my love for her just kept increasing and today my Mishty is in my arms, giving me the most beautiful moments of my life, along with her smile which means the world to me. Maan narrated it all with a smile while Geet watched him in awe realizing he was talking about her.
Maan.. She whispered with tears welling up in her eyes. She caressed his cheek lovingly, while her other pulled him closer and hugged him without a word. He had always loved her, why couldn't fate bring them closer before. Her heart churned thinking about how he spent the two years without her, knowing how much he loved her and now when she could hardly spend a day or two without him. The more she thought about his pain, the more her heart ached which came out in the form of her tears wetting his shirt.
Jaan, why are you crying now.? I thought you would be happy remembering about our first encounter. You were so scared and blabbering away to yourself, which is what took my heart away in the first place. You look out of this world when you are on a blabbering spree. He laughed, caressing her hair as he felt her tears wetting his shirt. Pulling her face out of his embrace, he wiped away her tears nodding his head in a no.
Enough of crying, from today I don't want to see these tears in your eyes. I don't like them, because they don't let me look inside you. They blur my vision. Got it.? He said placing a kiss on her forehead. Geet smiled through her tears and nodded.
I just can't imagine how you spent those 2 years, when I couldn't spend a week without you, without even realizing my feelings for you. It would have been so difficult for you, Maan why couldn't we meet earlier.? She asked innocently. Maan smiled at her concern and just kept admiring her.
I had your memories; they seemed to enough at that time. But now that you are here it seems impossible to live without you. Jaan, don't leave me ever, I don't know how to live without you now, I never did but now it seems even more intolerable. He breathed.
I won't leave you ever, I promise, but you have to promise me too that you will always be with me. How am I supposed to live without you.? She questioned him with a pout. Maan pinched her cheeks and simply hugged her tight, as he felt she was about to cry again.
I am not going anywhere Jaan. Where will I go without you.? And now if you don't stop crying, I swear I'll leave you right now and go looking for some other girl who cries less. There are plenty of girls on the city who are ready to have MSK's attention. He teased her, earning a smack from her.
Dare you do any such thing, if I see you even looking at any other girl except me, I'll chop you off into pieces. She warned, pointing a finger at him. Maan smiled seeing his possessive Mishty, he just couldn't stop falling in love with her all over again.
Possessive.? Accha Jaan, tell me honestly, were you jealous the other day when you saw that girl with me for hours in my cabin.? He asked raising his eyebrows.
Ofcourse I am possessive about you. And why wouldn't I be jealous seeing a girl with you, I was jealous, just the way you were jealous seeing me with Yash. I wanted to enter your cabin, throw her out of the office, beyond your reach and I wanted to slap you too for ignoring me and spending time with her. She said and suddenly grabbed his collar taking him by surprise.
You are mine, only mine.! She declared demandingly holding his collar. Maan felt overwhelmed seeing the love she was showering on him, unable to hold himself back he took her blabbering lips into a soul searing kiss, making both forget the word they were in. After talking for hours, both fell asleep holding onto each other, finding peace in the rightful place. The day bid goodbye on a blissful note for the two of them while the night brought on a serene smile on their faces even in their sleep, as they slept totally unruffled and content in their own heaven.!
The air possessed the same aura it did two years ago ; Love was in the air, this time forever.!********************************
