The fire blaze in his eyes, she wanted to ease them out even though there was the risk of her getting consumed. She placed her hand on his cheek too unaware of the world around her. His eyes softened. She was slowly letting go.
He leaned into her hand, soaking up the warmth from her touch. He kissed her palm as a token of gratitude for comforting him. Seeking comfort from her seemed like the most natural thing for him to do. He felt content and peaceful. The same feeling he always felt whenever Geet was near- before their engagement that is- his face saddened at that thought. A hazy image appeared, as he closed his eyes pinching the bridge of his nose- two bodies meshed together... A guy forcing a girl... A blindfold... And then everything went blank. Maan opened his eyes, he was blank. Why did this image appear? Could the guy be him? He never did this, he hoped racking his memory for any such event... He found none. What if-
Sir your bill...The waiter interrupted his thoughts. Maan nodded.Call your manager pleaseMaan said. The waiter nodded and went away. The Manager came right away wondering did he do something wrong... Did Nina do something. Where is Nina... I want to meet her... Her feesMaan said in business mode. He really wanted to meet her, wanted to know what she had said that put Geet in such thoughtful mood. He noticed Geet was so silent. Is she brooding over past, is she thinking about us... Is she thinking about someone else. Fear gripped him forgetting altogether about her silent conffession at the office.
The manager clearing his throat startled him. He realized he was staring at her far too long, yet she remained unfazed still having that lone-lost look. She umm... VanishedThe manager, Marco said. Marco was clueless about Nina, he explained to how Nina vanishes after meeting any prospective client here in the restaurant. The pride and confidence with which Marco spoke about Nina gave Maan the actually idea about Marco. He took responsibility of Nina's actions. He was proud of her, Maan understood. He even defended her, he realized thats what he was supposed to do... Maan thought wistfully looking at Geet, he couldn't bear the dreamy look in Marco's eyes anymore. Maan just nodded giving the money and tip for both Nina and food. Too hefty amount, Marco smiled happily escorting them out. It was almost sunset. Feeling the chillness around her, Geet looked at her surroundings, her eyes landing on Maan. Did you set me up with her Maan?That was bothering her too much. Yet Maan was silent. So its true, she thought. She was hurt. Was he forcing her to think about them together? Was this all sham so that she would stop resisting him? To tell him her motives so that he could get rid of her soon? Afterall he did tell her that he didnt want her, that day-she was very hurt. Was she hired by you? An actress? Did you have it planned all along... Haan Maan?She was angry now, yelling at him. Truth to be told, though she appeared oblivious, she was extremely jealous when Maan asked for Nina. Nina was young beautiful and mysterious, she appeared like a challenge and obviously every guy likes a girl as a challenge. So will Maan- she snorted at that thought. Ofcourse he will go after her, she scoffed, It isn't like they are together loving and all- even the thought of it hurt her.
Slowly and steadily Geet was losing the touch of reality- her motives, her pain... It was fading to the background. Every cell of her being consumed by Maan, Maan and only Maan- what Maan did, why he did... His love, his life, his pain
What?! No... I mean yes... GEET stop being so difficultHe practically screamed at her, panicking at her accusation combined with him being frantic at the people following them... If they hurt her-
She came herself, requesting to keep you company while I was away. Yes I asked the manager and wanted someone to be with you and No I didnt hire her or anythingHe clarified gritting his teeth before he could panic anymore and let her psyche herself out of his life. He could see the indecision on her face. He groaned mentally. Holding her hand softly, he dragged her towards the bike. Leave me... Let me go She struggled pinching his hand. He winced giving her a menacing look. It clearly meant 'No Arguments'. That shut her up. She pouted and snorted stomping over his foot. I thought you had a meeting here... We didn't meet any client today?She asked sitting behind him, on the bike. She felt giddy and mushy. It was like having a lunch date as a normal couple in their anything-but-normal situation but then Maan being highly unpredictable was making her suspiscious. Umm hmm... We did... We had a meeting na
When? Who?
You... It was our first brunch date naHe smirked shocking her as he zoomed off with the bike. She clutched his shirt tightly.
Maan was continuously looking at the rear view mirrors. Geet was very much confused as she could feel the stiff corded muscles under her fingers. He was tensed and alert. At the corner of his eye, he finally caught a glimpse of 5 bikes- 6 riders, all looking like rogues and goons with hockey sticks following them. Maan was enraged. Khan's men were still behind but it was now matter of Geet's safety- he wasn't ready to compromise with that. It was getting dark already setting a dark feel in his mind about the goons following them.
He pressed the brakes hard jerking forward. Geet fell all over his back. Her soft breasts pressing over his tensed spine. He relished in the heavenly feel. As Geet withdrew, he realized and berated himself for losing his mind. Both got off the bike, Maan now faced Geet -cupping her face; he looked straight into her eyes... The tender moment passing by as he felt all the pain she may have witnessed after their breakup. Geet listen to me very carefully He whisper-ordered. But...She protested still lost in the black orbs of his- capturing his unsaid love. Shooo... ListenHe silenced her, pressing close to her, his breath leaving his lungs in a whoosh as her hot breath swirled over his lips. He pressed his lips over hers, swallowing her pain, their breath mingling together as he coaxed her to obey him. His tongue delved into her mouth leaving her breathless and her brain refused to process anything. Okay..Breathlessly she gasped as he let her up for air. Wait for me here... Don't move an inch from here
But... Where are you-
Please... Just do that GeetMaan kissed her forehead, softly carressing her scalp.Ten minutes... If I don't return... Just run away, run away far from here... Take the bike... Don't look backHe pecked her lips again and ran into the dark. He knew where the goons were placed and also that they may hold Geet as a liability. That's why he sent her away.
It had been one hour since Maan went away. Geet was worried now. Was he alright? Is he hurt? She was getting worked up with worry. Her hands shivered as chillness ran down her spine. Should she go away? Leaving him? Sweat beads formed on her forehead. Slowly she grabbed the handle as she could hear a faint 'Go Geet ... Run away'. She could see two bulky figures coming in her direction. Without any other thought, she remembered just Maan's parting words and zoomed off. Her mind was just blank. She couldn't remember any address. Just mechanically she drove. As she pressed the brakes, she realized where she was now. The Infamous Farmhouse.
Last night, she sighed remembering. Geet knew it and probably realized bit too late that she shouldn't have provoked Maan like that. He was majorly pissed off with her "another man" comment even though he tried to appear unfazed. A strange feeling of restlessness boiled in her stomach. She passed it off as engagement jitters- if only she realized it was her instincts asking her to be careful.
Maan was already second guessing himself- with Sanjay's disapproval of him being undeserving of Geet... And now her statement, she thought. Stupid stupid stupid Geet! She berated herself. He wasn't angry at her but at himself for losing control like that and touching her more intimately than he was supposed to- she realized feeling ashamed. After apologizing again and again, Maan left her room last night at 2 a.m. She had fallen asleep in the midst of him apologizing and now she was regretting it. Although she was all freshened up and excited for engagement that day, her insides were in turmoil. Maan was nowhere to be found since the morning.
Since that outhouse incident on his 18th birthday and him running away, he had become very close to Nakul. If ever Geet wasn't available, Maan would always confide in Nakul. So without much ado, she straight away marched to him. Kaka where is Maan?She asked sucking her lower lip. She was sure she looked miserable- without Maan by her side. Nakul looked at the young to-be-bride pitifully. They had a fight and Maan seemed pretty upset about it earlier. He had gone to make some more arrangements... Lighting people had a problem perhaps... Bade sahab sent him also for some invitationsNakul informed her. Poor boy was distressed yet Sanjay was too tensed about the function to realize it. Geet sighed sadly as Nakul consoled her to have patience with Maan. She was all the more stressed out with Maan missing.
It was almost noon now. Geet was still waiting for Maan but in vain. She decided to call him and make it up. At first it just kept on ringing. At last as she was about to cut it off, huffing and puffing Maan picked it up. Maan...She cried longing for him. Maan was immediately alert. AlarmedGeet baby... Calm down pleaseHe almost pleaded.
She was so hurt. He was with some other girl that too , on their engagement day. She berated herself to have let him to go to that clawed witch. He may have already decided to leave her and- she dreaded the thought. She decided to make it up to him. Composing herself, she set his room to a more romantic ambience forgetting altogether about his inhibitions. She knew it was a crazy idea, but she had to take the risk- insecurities building up in her for not being adequate for him. The last time she had a jealous episode- she had remembered it vividly- he was talking to one of her classmates teasing her- she had ignored him giving him silent treatment for being lenient to her in one of their "defense classes" even though she had delivered a painful hard blow to his abdomen- they were too close for her liking. She immediately stormed off, not before stamping over his boots. She heard a low 'ow' and a chuckle before she took off, infuriated. Although she was heading to the farmhouse, she got caught up with a glass scrap dealer. Buying a huge bag of scrap glass and a bat she locked herself up in one of the rooms in farmhouse. Hitting and breaking the glasses with all of the strength she had, she took out her pent up frustration. Later when she realized she was gone too long, she came out locking the room and hiding the key in the basement, she came to their room meeting up with a very furious Maan. He fussed up about all the blood in her palm, and thats when she realized she had a big wound with a glass piece stuck to it.
There was still this strong urge to break glasses and give up her jealousy but she refrained. She wanted to appear good for her engagement, not all bloodied. She rummaged through her wardrobe not finding a single proper outfit, she peaked at the skimpy outfit her friends had gifted in her 17th birthday. They so wished that day for her to wear it to excite Maan- to watch the lover boy side of him. However she didn't, not wanting for Maan to appear weak infront of him. Now that she looked at it, it seemed the perfect one- a sexy black lacy lingerie. She wore it and hid in his bathroom waiting for him. Soon enough she heard someone saying 'Maan is coming'. She prepped up as the door clicked open and a figure entered closing the door. She came out swaying her hips sexily. The figure stayed in dark as Geet felt uncomfortable under his gaze. It pricked at her skin. Ignoring it, she moved around commenting few sexual innuendos(that she practiced so many times) to excite 'Maan' supposedly. She continued, I am really sorry Maan... For yesterday... I would like to make it up to you nowShe came up into light. The candlelights illuminating her figure as the figure stood up. Harshly he pulled her into the bed holding her hips pinning her down. She was shell-shocked. It wasn't Maan. The burly aggressive guy kissed and sucked her neck biting the thin strap of her dress. She squirmed and thrashed kicking him but dread was filling up in her veins numbing her. The feeling she had with Maan on his 18th birthday... The dread she felt when Maan touched her lustfully... It was nothing compared to now. It was killing half her life for allowing someone to touch her like thatOh no no you are going nowhere after that sexy foreplay darlingHe teased as his member pressed into her most intimate area. Tears sprang out at her helplessness. Realization sinking in, she was going to get sexually abused in broad daylight. She was about to give up all her struggle and accept her fate as the man toyed around her body touching her inappropriately, when she heard voices and footsteps. Maanu and Rahul, she almost cried joyfully. She screamed Diii.... There was a loud bang as the man jumped away from her looking at the door fearfully. Maanu burst in, her face stunned at a hysterical Geet. She immediately craddled Geet in her arms as Rahul beat the man to pulp. Rahul then took over hugging Geet as Maanu went in search of first aid box. Even though Rahul comforting her and the abusive man laid unconscious tied up in bathroom, she still couldn't shake away the feeling of someone watching her. Rahul now realizing how precious Geet is to Maanu, took up role of a doting big brother seriously consoling her that its okay. Even Vicky heard the commotion, rushed in as Maanu explained all of it. Vicky hugged Geet immediately and she relaxed a bit into his arms as the effects weared off and she realized she was really out of danger. She made all of them to promise not to say anything about this to Maan. As such he was already stressed out. Reluctantly they agreed. Seeming to realize her skimpy outfit she covered herself with a shawl. She was still shaken off but managed to pull off the composed facade infront of all.
It was just three days after Maan's 20th birthday- when he announced his willingness to join KC and learn his ways in business. Sanjay very much happy and proud, gladly and tearfully accepted his request. Three days since he was rigorously training and teaching Maan everything he knew about KC and business, being the proud parent that he was. Maan diligently and quickly learned much to Vikash's chagrin. Vikash tried to talk Sanjay out of it unaware that his brother was infact very much aware of Vikash's evil intentions. I don't think Maan is capable enough to handle it. Find someone else.Sanjay rolled his eyesI think he is doing just finehe retorted. I am more capableCame the arrogant voice. Sanjay narrowed his eyes at him. Vikash changed his toneI mean let Maan settle down first and have a family... And I-Sanjay cut him off.And I am the boss till then
Vikash fumed as Sanjay softened a bitYou can handle the designing and planning department from now onHe patted his shoulder. Although Vikash smiled, the fire of hatred, greed and power still burned inside him consuming his rationality. He wanted more. That was the day he went ahead crossing his limits, meeting Rahul and his devious plan started.
Rahul laid out, sprawled in his bed staring into oblivion. He wondered how was he going to touch Geet( as per Vikash's plan) without disgusting himself as well as breaking Maan's heart and framing Geet as a cheat, yet making sure that he assure Maanu of him being faithful to her as well as keeping his wife and child safe. Frankly even he didn't know whether he was going to manage himself to touch Geet without panicking or thinking about his self-respect and morality. The compassionate side of him dominating after his confession of love to Maanu. Maanu being hurt and silent was killing his malicious face.
Maanu walked out of the bathroom with wet hair, wiping it as he stared at her hungrily, almost eye-loving her. A sweet smile crept into his face as his eyes fell on her baby bump, almost un-noticeable. Maanu noticed him, staring at his darkened eyes, she just lost track of her senses. Their moment was broken when Vikash walked in with an evil aura.
There is a change in planHe spoke non-chalantly. Maanu composed herself, grabbing every ounce of confidence,A change? Rahul now dreading the whole thing. Vikash nodded, a sinister smile slipping off his face- noticed by Rahul, Maanu remained oblivious. Just talk Geet out of this marriage. Its enough to leave the Khuranas heart brokenYet Rahul sensed that his intention was something else. Maanu just nodded. Today at 3 pm you are leaving India... The engagement won't take place. I am sure of it... Just make sure that you put the tiny seed of doubt in her mind and then... Maanu nodded and then looked at RahulWe will leaveAnd for the first time Rahul regretted for listening Maanu.
As they walked to Maan's room, as they were informed Geet was sulking there and Maan missing, they discussed what to say. Just then they heard Geet screaming calling out for Maanu. Rahul rushed as Maanu urged him to break the door. They burst in. Shocked and horrified at Geet and then furious at the abusive man-they had already realized what might have happened with Geet's scream; Geet's shaking form was the living proof as Maanu went ballistic shooting expletives at the man- who was scooting away from them fearfully. Rahul was disgusted at Vikash's plan. This was his plan, he thought scoffing in rage. Never in his wildest and worst of his dreams could he fathom, this was just the start of his plan.
Again Geet nursing Maan or should I say Ms.Shadow nursing Mr.Rapist😉
