PART-25
"you??you are Maan...??"yash stormed in holding Maan by collar as he gained a nod from driver n further tightened his hold glaring at Maan "how dare you slap my daughter do you even know who's she??"gritting his teeth yash roared in anger.Geet gasped in shock with unexpected act of her dad whilst Maan's condition was not much different of Geet's...In his Anger yash was to slap Maan but at the nick Geet held yash's hand which rosein Air.
"Dad!!dad please..please stop it!!what are you doing?"Geet roared in anger.She didnt liked the way Yash handled Maan afterall she cant let anyone demean him even if it's her dad!!He is equally important to her.Meanwhile,Maan wasnt able to muster courage to speak for unknown reason,it's not that he's scared firstly yash's his boss,secondly he was really wrong how could he slap her?no father will bear it!!
"beta I wont leave him!!who the hell he think he's I can ruin u do u know that?"yash warned Maan pointing finger at his chest.."Sir I know I was wrong but.."Maan couldnt complete with yash's intrudence.."dare you!!!Iam not gonna leave u"
Meanwhile reshmi arrived in time sensing the serious argument..Knowing yash very well she instantly followed him and reached the apartment.
"Mom you? "Geet stood stunned.She couldn't react for few seconds but then sighed as she began to pour her anger out"mom..dad can I know what's happening here? I told u guys that I want time and I myself will come to you then what's this? "She chided as the way yash glared maan irked her.."mom what you n dad r doing here?"
"Do we need an appointment to meet our daughter? Do we need geet?"reshmi questioned geet back baffled with the way her daughter is shouting on them that too for a stranger? Wait is he really the one? That pricked her mind.
"Can I say something..umm sir I can explain you everything right from the start"Maan who was mute spectator finally spoke.He wanted them to know he was never at fault rather say the way they are assuming his intentions are wrong.
"huh!!you gonna give me the reasons or say situations that forced u...well according to you to slap my princess?"with the last word yash held maan's collar again..Even Maan turned furious but was successfull in holding it as he knew the state of yash's mind.."dad will you just stop this non sense? What's wrong with you?"geet freed yash's hand almost shoving it away.
"Geet what's wrong with you? Is this the way you behave with dad? "Reshmi pulled geet by elbow but she freed it hastily."exactly mom is this the way dad behave with maan? mom he was the one who handled me when I left Mumbai and he is holding my responsibility till today when u people left me on my state for an year..and dad's blaming maan for no reason"Geet wasnt in a state to think whatever she's saying is whether right or wrong..Her already stressed mind couldn't take it anymore!!It was Maan who noticed it.
Reshmi n yash were appalled to see their daughter being rude and angry that too for some stranger..Maan wanted to stop geet at the moment for he knew she's making things even more complicated but again he preferred to be a mute spectator afterall who wants the third one to poke nose in their family matter.
"Enough now!!you are coming with us geet"reshmi declared not wanting any nonsense there and held geet's wrist.."you can shout as much as you want geet but not here"when geet was to deny reshmi she warned her in a strict tone..She didn't give a chance for geet to even glance at maan properly and dragged her by wrist.
Maan's heart ceased beating too shocked and he couldn't even stop her..How can he stop her parents? His eyes turned teary and he felt difficult to even breathe a single breath.
He paced to and fro in the room and finally punched hard his fist on the wall..He held one of the chair near dining table for support and instantly pressed his eyes tight in anguish.
"Mom leave me..I told you Iam not coming anywhere leave me mom please.."A teary geet tried hard to let her hand go from reshmi's hold.."shut up geet be quite now!!You have become mad..I don't know what that guy has done to you"reshmi finally left geet or say shoved it in air as they reached parking area.."He loves me mom..And so do I.."geet spit it out finally
"I...I can't live without him"she inhaled sharply trying to be strong.
"Dad..dad please let me go for now I want to be with him..I need his company at the moment please dad tell mom to let me go.."geet pleaded yash fisting his jacket like a stubborn child.
"You really lost it geet..love? you serious has grownup so much that you started taking decisions on ur own? And yeah do u really think Iam gonna let u stay with that guy?"reshmi shouted at geet not letting yash to say anything.
"His name is Maan mom..not a random guy..He is Maan Singh Khurana not some guy.."geet shouted back with the same intensity.."do u really think iam gonna let u take me away with out my will? Common mom u know me better...Iam going back and that's it!!"she stressed everyword trying to be strong.."dad tell me how do u expect me to take everything in a day ? I mean give me some time please..Aaj hi toh muje itna bada sach...(she pressed her lips suppressing her sobs)I told you ill come and I mean it..He's only the one I want at the moment..so please dad try n understand please mom"with the last plead she turned back and rushed in towards maan's apartment.
"Let her go.."yash stopped reshmi understanding geet's plight..Also he knew somewhere his daughter is not that easy for anyone to hurt her..He wanted to hear her Side of story before doing anything."Maan Singh Khurana?"his mind alerted him that he's aware of that name n finally it clicked him.He left with a final glance towards the direction geet rushed in.
"Maan..."he heard her broken tone n snapped opened his eyes..He just turned a little when he felt a strong hold around his neck n he stammered with the sudden contact so held the table for support leaning against it slightly..He then realised it's his geet his jaan who came jumping in to his arms..He just couldn't believe he have her in his arms..He took a relaxing breathe when she tighted her arms around his neck n sobbed in to his neck.
(Friends imagine jab we met wala hug)
His anticipating arms reached her waist taking time to wrap around her petite form feeling her presence.His other hand reached to caress her back again taking his time and finally he cocooned her completely n tightly with all his love.
He breathed in her aroma hiding his face in her neck like a scared kid...After a while he became normal as her sobs caught his attention "Geet...Look at me.."he tried to pull her out from the hug but she denied to obey him and hugged him back.."Jaan...please stop crying and look at me...Geet Iam with you yahi hu mein"he pecked on her temple gently as she clung to him not wanting to leave him for a second.
"Batao muje huwa kya hai? Aur ha ye rona bhand"he warned her lovingly wiping away her tears..He followed her with a glass of water and sunk on floor as she did resting her back against the couch.."pani peelo" he forwarded the glass but she nodded negatively.."thoda sa.."he requested seeing that she has hiccups but she did the same again.Sighing he forcefully made her drink a little and patted her head lovingly when coughed.
"You don't accept anything so easily hmmm..ziddi ho"he pecked her temple yet again gathering her in his arms with all his love and she willingly gave in wrapping her arms around his waist..He sat caressing her hair whilst she told him about the conversation she had with her mom.
Maan felt bad that she was rude to her parents coz of him..He knew what's family n it's importance coz he don't have the one..At the same time felt happy that she wants to be with him..He was lost in various thoughts when she looked up to find him lost..She caressed his cheek near jaw with her soft palm to earn his attention.
"You scared? Scared that I may go back to my parents"For a second he was stunned but smiled meekly nodding a little..She moved out from his hug n to his shock she settled on his lap,her palms held his nape on either sides.."I promised you that Iam not gonna go anywhere leaving you and I mean it"he smiled with a nod n kissed her palm.."Maan it's not only for promise sake..I really don't want to go"she cupped his face as she bent a little n pecked on his forehead.."I can't live without you..I love you Maan..I really love you"she confessed with all her love..With that he took her lips in to his without a thought.
