Secretly Smitten#5 (Thread 6 link @ Pg 144) - Page 87

Geet mind was deeply taken by what Panna said when suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. Startling she turned around and then sighed out in relief finding Maan behind.

"What happened Geet you looking worried?'

"No, nothing.. wo she started finding proper word to reply back when felt his hand touched her face.

"Missing your Dad?' he cupped her face and asked very fondly. Geet couldn't stop her eyes to stare him and think upon the fresh worry that had been put in her mind just now. "He will not ditch me I know', her heart cried out, "I know I trust him'

"I trust you Maan', softly her lips expelled out which was very mild to be heard by Maan.

"What did you say?'

She shook head and bowed her gaze down.

"Don't worry Geet, he will come back soon', Maan thought she was missing Mohan and so wanted to soothe her sadden heart.

"Hmm', Geet nodded.

"Come Angel it's late now. You should take some sleep,'

Again the worry ruled over on her calmed face. She became alert wondering what if he doesn't like the way I think', "what if what panna said becomes right', despite of forcing her heart to trust over him her mind took turn on another way. Maan felt something was sure wrong with her. She was not behaving the way she had been doing, neither responding of his touch with blush nor replying properly of his query.

"Let's go Geet', he held her hand and suddenly felt stiffness in her touch. He turned around shocked. Her head was down it was sure, she was trying to hide her expressions. His hold lessened down in surprise, he understood, she was not comfortable. Within a second his heart cried out million tears when feared of losing her trust over him. He found he was failing. This defeat could kill him inside and before it would happen, he released her hand and turned to leave with feel of heaviness in air.

Geet knew he understood. Her heart could also feel the heavy wind around. Her eyes looked him going up without teasing her, without saying a word. He didn't show his naughtiness this time, it seemed within few hours she had been habitual of his teasing acts. She felt bad, clutched her mouth in depression of her deed. "Oh God what I did!' her heart cried out. "I trust him', she rushed following him up. He was yet to finish few steps when Geet rushed and held his hand. He turned back with this sudden touch of her which had become a initial lack in his life. This time she didn't steal her eyes away but looked him with wearing smile on lips. Her eyes were calm and face was filled with jolly expressions. His dead life came back in him. He also smiled feeling so contentment which was reaching his heart through eyes and healed the pain of it.

They reached in room. Geet heart again started doing routine job it had learnt in this few hours. Her eyes was wondering over his every step that what next his move would be. She clutched her dress in anticipation and her face had already been red in shy. Leaving her hand Maan came and settled down at one side on bed and started his laptop while Geet couldn't take a step toward him. She was occupied in thought where to go whether on bed or couch at corner but then she had to prove her faith was right, she was not wrong in identifying him and resolving she took steps to bed.

Maan was observing her every move through cornered eyes. His heart was also beating fast when looked her standing there thinking about something and when she advanced toward him, his heart started beating on extreme he had never felt before. With her every walk the beats of his heart danced on full rhythm and a sweet smile touched his lips when found her lying beside him but leaving a long distance between.

"Yes yes I won!! I did it I won!!!' his heart danced in happiness. "I succeeded to get her trust on me. She also loves me more than how much I love her she has proved it!!!'

He looked her smiling. Geet eyes went up to his face and found an unseen glow on it. She didn't get the reason but seeing him smiling she felt good and smiled back and slowly closed her eyes. Maan felt like to hug her, to dance taking her in arms, to celebrate his happiness in every way he could do. But he had to control; he knew this was the first step he had won. He had to battle long way ahead.

Before taking any step in their relationship he wanted to know what she feels for him. Though he knew she also likes him but to what extent, he was not sure. But today in this few hours she was ready to break the ethic she had been living in. For his one odd demand she was ready to go against her family and her own principle. It showed the level of her faith in him and his love for her and that amazed him.

After long hours when depth of her sleep depends, Maan closed the laptop he was working on and stood up. He came to her side and for fair minutes stared her fondly. He bent down, a little away from her face. Geet was seemed in deep sleep. Maan wanted to cherish this moment; he kept his lips on her forehead for few seconds but carefully that not to break her good dream. He then lifted her steadily in arms and started going out. He took steps and entered in room downstairs and put her down on bed, with so much care that it seemed she was the favorite soft toy of a child. Maan then covered her with a blanket and caressed her hair, his heart was denying leaving out this beautiful sight but he fought back with this wish and kissing a soft good night on her cheek he left the room without noticing the effect her face had gotten against his fond.

Geet smiled and opened eyes slowly. She looked through window him going. "I knew he can't cheat me', she was so happy indeed. Her face was beaming with a huge shade of scarlet over it. She touched her cheek and blushed hard. How she wished could also bid him a same good night.

"You're shameless Geet', she chided her mind and fell back on pillow and hid her red face under cover giggling.

Precap: Geet eyes were closed while hugging him when suddenly she found something unusual, her hand roamed on his bare back intoxicatingly and suddenly her eyes went bigger in shock!!
