Secretly Smitten#3 (THD 4 link @ Pg 140) - Page 33

Stupid idiot fool, what the hell he thinks of himself!!

Geet threw her bag on bed and hopped over it with grumpy face. She was indeed, very angry on the new stranger of her life,

"I never knew him never met him, why the hell he always shouts on me, shows his damn attitude upon me as if I'm his girlfriend!!! Nutcase!!!

"Oh, shut your mouth Geet "what are you saying' Instantly she covered her mouth to speak further, she chided herself thinking how he had helped her many times, "even now also he saved you Geet, did you forget it!! Ya, I know he is little weirdo type but still he loves his girl so much, and did you forget you had requested for his thing not he had asked but still he gave to you the gift he would have bought for his girlfriend may be''

She stood up and walked slowly toward the open window,

"His love could be seen in his denial when he hesitated for giving that Dupatta to me. Today also he refused to take it back, saying his Angel doesn't wear things touched by someone's else"so possessive!!''

She became lost in watching out, how a massive cloud was covering that full round Moon on sky, claiming it completely his. "I wish my Maan would also love me like same"please God, please do listen my wish,' She closed eyes for imploring a vital prayer,

Suddenly her phone shrilled making her jump at once; she came back from the lost world. As Geet touched phone to ear, Panna almost shouted asking where was she, -- 'why didn't you call me back Geet, how worriedly I was waiting for your call!! I'd told you to give me a ring whenever you'll reach home!!''

"I'm sorry Panna I forgot, actually I met that guy again while coming back and you know what happened?''

Geet told her the incident how Maan saved her and then angered also. Panna was hearing her each and every word with utmost concentration, and when Geet stated the last word, she collected those thoughts together which were coming in her mind and decided to let them come out,

"Geet, can I ask something''

"Ya tell na,''

"Geet, don't you feel afraid'

Geet narrowed eyebrows in amusement, "Afraid, but why'

"Geet in this two days almost every alternate hour you've talked about that strange guy, don't you feel it odd, mean that you are getting affected by him.. I mean '

"I know what you asking, ' Geet smiled cutting panna's words in mid then she resumed her saying with calm tone,

"I know what you want to say Panna, okay now I ask you a question, it's very easy just tell me, do you have ever seen heavy stone floating on sea-water?''

"Means?"Geet what are you asking here I'm talking about Maan and you..'

"I know Panna but just tell me. Did you have ever seen a huge stone floating over wave''

"No, it can't'

"Same like when big stone can't float over water or get affected by those supple waves, my feeling for Maan also can't be affected by these guest emotions Panna. Guy like him can come and go in life but Maan will always be remain here' she touched her heart, ,' he is here, being a part of my life, so deep in ocean of my heart, to the deep core that no wave can harm its place,'

"Geet you're such a crazy''

"I know''

And they continued their chat with laugh but both were unaware with condition of a little heart where supple wave of faith had transformed into violent storm.

Maan was struggling hard with the rising feeling for a strange girl, which was completely uninvited. He stared at the cloth Geet had left there in car he held it. He ordered driver to turn toward home, he was not feeling like enjoy any happiness when his own life was so disturbed with a quake which had moved the firm stone inside his heart.

He stepped in house. The place was hushed yet brightened with thousands of jingling light bulbs but they were not helping Maan to brighten up his heart. He was feeling like he was carrying a vacuumed body, an echoed well with wandering ghost like sentiments inside. After meeting a girl for the first time who had taken his calm away, she also had increased his desire unknowingly for a human body not only her mirage. He wanted to feel his Geet in real and his heart started cribbing for her.

Instead of going in his room he walked on terrace. He wanted to make his heart relax. As he placed his first step on the floor cool breeze run to welcome him like they knew he was exhausted. They touched his face, patted like a loved one and caressed it, gave him feel of relaxation, they knew he needed this treatment. Maan closed his eyes to enjoy this care.

"Geet..'' he whispered, he smiled with the smooth feel of her name, then he tried to gather her image in mind which always he used to do whenever felt restless, but suddenly that strange girl image took place of her Geet, making his mind commoved with this change. He opened eyes at once. He pushed hairs back in agitation. He couldn't believe this was happening to him, how it could be!! It never ever happened before!!

Suddenly he felt a pull in arm, then he was being dragged away by someone so far at the edge of terrace, but he could recognize this touch. "Geet, you are back'' - he smiled in relief. He could smell her scent, he opened eyes slowly with anticipation to see her blank face again but his eyes widen"it was not his Geet, it was that stranger, that unknown girl, that uninvited one, again.

"You!!!''

He yelled in anger. The girl smiled on his pitiful status,

"Thank you' - she whispered smiling. He wanted to kill her mirage, he strangle her neck with his firm fist. - How dare you sneaked in my mind how dare you girl!!! Who the hell given you permission just tell me I will burn him alive!!!

"It was you, yourself Maan..''

He heard his Geet voice, he turned back to find her. She was there, wearing a veil, hiding her face under it, Maan just pulled her in hug,

"Maan you're forgetting me'' She wept in his arms.

"No Geet I'm not"I'm not Angel I'm not I can't'', he squeezed her more protectively, she couldn't even move, couldn't escape away.

"You gave my belonging to her Maan. It was our wedding anniversary gift but you given her''

"I'm sorry Geet I'm sorry Angel"I promise I will not do it again, I hold my ears"see'', He raised hands to touch his ears when found, he was alone there. He looked around, calling her name, but leaving out few silent assets of nature, no one was there to hear his plead.

His attention dropped to Dupatta in his hand, it made him remind that girl again, his fist tightened in anger. He Clenched teeth in rage and his nostrils fluttered. His face turned into red. He rocked his arm in air and threw the cloth to up to the sky, gathering his entire energy. The innocent cloth went away from his life, floating away silently in calm wind.

Maan was relaxed. He returned back to marriage venue to celebrate this essential success of life.

Precap: Geet came and sat next to him, he stood up to leave when she held his hand, "Why are you angry on me?''
