Secretly Smitten#10 (Thread 11 link @ Pg 141) - Page 29

After dinner that Maan did in Geets home sharing dinning with entire family time arrived for Maan to leave. In this all events Geet couldn't find a minute time alone to talk with him in peace. She wished she would. When Maan was chatting with her family she got few glimpse of him from door or windows but that was not enough to survive. She wished she could celebrate their win in different ways, in several ways, in private looking at each other holding their hands and a kiss. Geet blushed.

"Chi Geet what you started thinking. Bad girl"

With upset mind she tried to concentrate in kitchen chores when Mohan bid good bye to Maan and he left. Geet heart skipped beats when she heard his car horn getting started and then going away far. Geet runs up toward terrace. She became still near railing to find his car in darkness bur nothing got seen besides white gush of dirt. Her face fell down. Few drops dangled on her lower eye-lashes but she wiped them with Dupatta. She had to go down but heart appealed to spend some time there. This cold wind filled night wanted her company. Geet sat down on swing on which once Maan had slept. She giggled thinking how they had fought like children splashing water on each other and had spent the most wonderful time of her life.

Geet looked up at sky, to stars. She thought how Maan had yelled on those tiny stars once. And she had consoled him. Without knowing their relation nature had been giving them chance to meet and meet again and today, they were blessed by her family. It was their first win but more had to journey further in huge desert.

"I wish one day I will be able to appease Maan grandfather and he will accept me as well" she closed eyes and wished before a falling star. After some time she slept at same place cuddling like baby in cold having smile on lips and dreams of Maan in eyes.

"Yes Mr. Singhania"

Maan was stirring spoon in his coffee cup talking with RS putting Bluetooth on. He had called Ravi to inform that what paper procedure had been left, now would be kept on Geet name in place of him. "Yes, you are hearing me right. Geet is new owner of my company" he proclaimed with pride.

He came out from kitchen holding cup in one hand and in another had newspaper with him. He sat comfortably on sofa and kept cup on front table while hearing from another side what Ravi was speaking.

"You don't need to be surprised Mr. Ravi. Why do you sound so shocked" he turned the paper page sipping from cup. "And why should I have to inform you before taking this step. If you are not forgetting then it was my company entirely when I signed on those papers and I am completely free to do with this property of me whatever I wanted. So now please do what I said. Tell your assistance to change papers name on Geet name"

Ravi insisted Maan to come Mumbai to do the procedure and bring Geet with him so he could introduce her with rest person of company. Maan couldn't deny and agreed but in mind he was doubtful if Mohan would let her go alone with him.

"Well sure, we will come"

He answered and cut off the call. "I'll talk dad later about this"

Maan watched time in his phone . "Oh shit, she must have left for collage" He finished his cup in hurry and rushed in room to get ready. He had planned to spend today with Geet and start with to drop her collage. "Then we'll go to some place.. Her favorite one. It would be a surprise for her" He smiled thinking how she would blush finding him at her home for coming to pick her up for collage.

"I want to see her blushing face when she will open door and will find me there"

Taking up keys from table he put his shoes on. He did unlock the door when suddenly found Geet standing on doorway and her nose was blushing.

"Nose is blushing? Maan what you're thinking stupid? But why her nose looks red like tomato and it's swelled also"

"You got cold again?" He shouted in wonderment when reality hit his mind.

"Maan let me come inside first then start your query"

"Yea,, sorry but how did you get cold again Geet? Did you drink water direct from fridge?" He moved back and she came in yet Maan didn't stop his questionnaire. He followed her till she took seat. "Did you take medicine?'' he sat next to her checking if she had any fever but her skin was normal. He sighed in relief.

"But still you should not avoid this cold Geet wait I bring pills"

"Maan" she stood up irritated with his extreme attention "Please I don't want to eat any medicine. There baba and Chachu and here you why all are behind me"

"Yea because you need more attention than any little child Geet. Now sit here and let me bring water for you" He shouted back and walked inside kitchen. Geet followed.

"Maan please na, I really don't need pills. Um, would be better if you would have me turmeric- milk I'll drink that happily"

Maan watched for a while. "Are you sure?"

She nodded.

"Hm. Then go and rest in room. I'll have to bring milk from market" Maan rushed out when Geet shouted from back that he doesn't need to go market only for milk but he avoided her shout. He closed door and left.

Geet was getting bore alone. She came and sat on his bed and tried to rest when suddenly phone rang. She startled up. Hurriedly runs for picking up her phone but then came to know, it was not her phone which was ringing but Maans. He'd forgot to take it along with. Geet found the phone kept on table but till the time ring had been stopped. She sighed. She turned to go back inside when again it started sounding. She picked it up. Looking on the screen her eyes widen and her heart started beating rapidly.

"Dada ji"

She gasped in terror.
