Secretly Smitten#8 (Thread 9 Link @ Pg 140) - Page 33

Maan reached collage, feeling the roll of excitements and thrills. His heart was thumping against chest for just with the thought of see her again, meet her again, touch and feel her again. He'd never imagined his solely life would gift him this wonderful day that would cause to forget his own identity. He was a born prince, always had lived life of a highness with peculiarity in every little aspects of aliveness, here same man was running throughout the campus like crazy. Curiosity was killing the way to hide his elation like a teenage boy would feel. Without knowing what affect his hunk personality was giving upon the small magnitude of girls around, Maan was occupied in search of Geet across every door and window.

He even asked few girls but instead found their dreamily eyes on him. Maan smirked, though he knew if Geet were seeing them ogling over him like this, she would've broken their noses. Maan chuckled imagining about her expression.

Geet suddenly felt a sensation on her neck when gush of wind entered through window; crossing way of Maan and touched her skin. She placed hand on flapping pages of book which she was studying and looked out of window in perception. Oddly her heart wanted to secure the wind, to inhale them wholly so no one else could touch them, like they were blowing only for her, no one else had right to even feel them. Her eyes roamed in empty corridor when suddenly felt a hand over her hand kept on desk. She startled.

"What happened Geet? It's me?" Panna leapt in sudden.

"Nothing", Geet replied. She changed her attention to Panna when suddenly noticed tiny twinkles in her eyes and her lips was wearing a smile. Geet frowned looking at her unneeded expression when Panna held Geet chin and turned at a direction. Geet puzzlingly enslaved her force and next second, every organ inside her body turned alive like they'd been dead since ages. She couldn't believe she was looking Maan there, stood at far, with his arms bound on chest crossways. He was smiling, looking at her. Geet shivered with cold suddenly flaring-up in environment and her heart shrilled to feel the warmth of his arms. She wanted to go out and hug him.

"Panna it's Ma... " Geet blabbed out in happiness when suddenly found her fix gaze on Maan. Geet studied around. Not only Panna but more girls also had their eyes focused at him only. Geet started fuming in jealous. She stood up in next swift catching Panna attention on him.

"What happened Geet?'' Panna teased her intentionally.

Geet threw her a smile and started to rush out when professor sound hit her ears, whom she'd almost forgotten had already one, in class. "How can I forget him" she murmured under breath closing eyes.

"Geet where are you going?'' Professor thick voice rooted Geet legs at the door.

"Um.. sir.." Geet chided her brain for not to run fast. She looked Panna who was smirking, keeping her ear on nose and so everyone others. Suddenly Geet blurted out, "Sir, Panna's brother has come, um, I'm going to meet him", and without giving second glance over her shoulder she rushed out and faded away from everyone's eyes leaving Panna mouth opened, widen in shock.

"Maan?"

She looked for him at the place he'd been seen but seemed, he'd hid somewhere, to tease her. How impatiently she was wishing to see him and his irritating hide and seek annoyed her. But she well knew, how to get him back. She smirked.

Geet crossed the corridor. His footsteps were following ; she could hear but, she didn't turn back. She pretended to search him everywhere. Her restlessness was getting increased, killing her in impatience. She clutched the thick book near heart, perhaps wanted to stop loud beats to hear it out. She knew Maan was looking her every movement consciously and that visualization was making her weak on legs. She stopped when found herself in a empty surround and like before sat down on ground, holding her ankle and whimpered.

The very next second, she heard Maan running shoes coming nearer and then, he was there, calling her name dripped in worry.
She smiled secretly

"Geet, you okay!!!' he sat down to look her but before he could touch her, Geet stood up in anger and walked out. Maan watched her in confusion. "Geet listen...' he runs behind.

Geet was on road, walking fast in anger, grabbing her bag tight in fist when Maan car stopped her way. He got out and rushed to her. Geet turned her face ignoring him.

"Geet what happened you?"

He jerked her arm, forced her to face him and when she did, her eyes were filled with several tears. Maan hold lessened instantly grabbing her face in concern. "What happened Angel why you crying?' but Geet didn't stop crying. Maan thought better to make her sit in car than to catch unwanted strange eyes.

"What happened Geet?''

Before he could understand anything Geet hugged him tight, keeping eyes on his chest, wetting his shirt with her tears.

"I missed you'' she spoke between sobs.

Maan smiled, letting her shed drops near his heart and he patted her hair. He kissed them. They remained in same posture for long minutes. "Are you okay cry-baby?'

Geet smiled. She moved back wiping her eyes then nodded. "How are you Maan' she looked him and asked. Seemed her eyes had become more beautiful after clean up, Maan couldn't remove gaze from them. Like he was drawing her painting on the canvas of his heart, fastening his eyes on only her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She spoke while struggling with her unbalanced palpitation. Maan didn't reply but pulled her closer grabbing her hairs in handful fist.

"Geet, I missed you more than you'' he whispered, he smirked when got her scarlet skin in return. She knew what he meant. His closing distance was telling his intention.

"Maan..' she tried to move back but his fist firmed on her head. And he shook head, perhaps warned her. She smiled in terror.

Maan brought his face so near that she almost forgot to breath. He closed eyes. His mouth was going to touch her lips when suddenly he tasted something salty and soft. Instantly he opened eyes in confusion when saw a yellow looking thing in her hand, between their faces and she was smiling.

"What's this" He asked irritatingly getting interrupted. But Geet chuckled.

"Dhokla' Geet said. "Maan I know you must not even have your breakfast also. Now taste it and tell how's this, I'm sure you going to like it. Little sweet little salty with no spice, same of your taste"

She smiled. Her eyes shone when he opened mouth to have a bit though pulling a face. Geet fed him small bite and watched his expression. "Did you like?'

Maan chew for sometime. "Hm'' Maan said. "It's nice Geet, how did you make it?'' he opened mouth signaled for another bite. Geet felt so delighted. She put one more piece in his mouth telling him the recipe well knowing he wouldn't understand a thing, remembering his "Black pepper tea", she laughed.

"Why are you laughing?' he narrowed eyes.

She covered her mouth with hand instantly and shook head. "Nothing. You just eat'

He raised eyebrows in suspicion but couldn't stop himself praising the thing he was eating and the way, his Angel was feeding him.
