PART 12
"Armaan can you dance with Karan's partner?" Mirinal asked Armaan wanting to dance with Karan.
"no man. How can I leave this awesome chance dancing with a beautiful lady.?" Said Armaan flirting with her.
"You know you are a charmer Armaan but I am already taken." Said Mirinal
"ohh I am heartbroken." Said Armaan dramatically placing his hand on his heart.
Both of them laughed and Armaan like a gentleman took Mirinal to karan.
"Karan here's your amanat." Said Armaan forwarding Mirinal's hand in Karan's.
"thanxx buddy!" said Karan happily. Karan and Mirinal moved to dance floor hand in hand. Ridhima looked at Armaan.
"I guess we have to dance together now." Said Armaan grinning stupidly. Ridhima smiled a little.
Armaan forwarded his hand to Ridhima. She politely held his hand. They moved towards the dance floor. Armaan kept his hand on her waist and she kept her hand on his shoulder. They moved swiftly with the song.
"Are you upset or anything?" Armaan said looking around and then looked at her. He sensed that Ridhima was upset on something.
"Sorry I didn't get you.?" Asked Ridhima confused.
"Do you also wanted to dance with your partner? That's why you are upset. Right?" asked Armaan from a confused and disturbed Ridhima.
"oh no nothing like that." Said Ridhima a little uncomfortably.
"You can share it with me. Trust me." Said Armaan charmingly and swirled her. Ridhima smiled a little.
"The thing I thought was mine actually never belonged to me." Said Ridhima with a bit pain and looked down at their shoes dancing lightly.
"you know letting go of something dear to you is hard but holding onto something which is not yours and still expecting to be yours is harder." Said Armaan looking straight in her eyes. Ridhima was astonished to hear something she didn't expected. She was lost in her thoughts.
"Armaan Armaan..jaldi chal." Said Karan with panic in his voice and grabbed his arm. Both Armaan and Ridhima were startled with sudden disturbance. Both looked at him confused and follow d him.
"Will you atleast tell me what is it?" asked Armaan from a worried Karan.
"Woh me and Mirinal were dancing and suddenly she started complaining of headache I asked her to wait for me as I went to take medicine for her and when I came back I saw her fainted." Said Karan all tensed up.
"its okay buddy we will take her to the hospital immediately." Said Armaan but stopped immediately remembering something.
"Oh shit I forgot my keys with Geet. You carry her towards my car I'll just bring the keys and ask Geet to come along." Said Armaan rushed to Geet where she was dancing with Maan.
"woh..woh actually" fumbled Maan but was cut by Armaan's voice.
"Geet jldi chal ek emergency hai." Said Armaan grabbing Geet's hand.
"What? Hua kya achanak.?" Asked a shocked Geet and glanced up at Maan who was looking irritated.
"Chal toh sahi." Said Armaan and started walking holding Geet's hand. Maan followed behind.
They reached near the car and saw Mirinal in Karan's arms.
"Mirinal ko kya hua?" asked Geet worried.
"She fainted so we are taking her to hospital and then I will drop you home." Said Armaan and Geet noded.
"No wait." Said Maan immediately. All looked at him shocked and confused..
"I mean I will drop Geet you don't worry she is my neighbour." Said Maan looking at them. Geet was shocked for a minute and looked at him wide eyed. Maan wanted to spend some time with her and finding the perfect opportunity he grabbed it.
Armaan looked at Geet reluctantly and saw her looking at Maan with an amused expression. Armaan noded and was about to go when Ridhima called him.
"Armaan can I come with you? Please??" asked Ridhima a little disturbed. She was very hurt deep within so staying here for a second longer was making her uncomfortable. So she decided to accompany Armaan. Armaan looked at Ridhima then Geet and sighed. He noded and went with her. Ridhima turned back and looked at Maan. He was looking at Geet. Geet noticed Ridhima's expression and was feeling guilty to have come between them.
Yes she was jealous of Ridhima but never in these two years she tried to come in between them and now when she watched the same hurt in her eyes which she feels everyday is making her guilty. She looked up at Maan and found him staring at her.
"Is this man really this much ignorant to his surroundings or he just pretends to be? I understand he was drunk that day and he doesn't remember anything and I have accepted and started living with it but Ridhima is his gf how could he be so ignorant towards her? How could he do this? He never cares for anyone's feelings." Thought Geet and looked at him angrily.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that for?" asked Maan confused.
"do you even realize what you are doing?" asked Geet with a little hurt.
"What am I doing? I just asked to drop you that's it." Replied Maan shrugging off his shoulder.
"yeah why did you do that? Instead of asking your fiance to stay back you are asking me? Did you even realize how much Ridhima can get hurt? What do you think of yourself? Huh??" asked Geet with pure anger. Maan was surprised to hear this from her. He was feeling guilty but then he knew what he was doing and all this was making him mad. He closed her mouth with his hand
"I like you. There's nothing between me and Ridz. She knows that. She is not my fianc do you understand that? She is not my fianc I like you. I like you." Said Maan angrily holding her arms tightly.
Geet was beyond shock. Maan likes her she couldn't digest this fact. How come? He never looked at me and now suddenly. She got more angry on his ignorance attitude. She pushed his hands down angrily and turned around to go in. she walked off in anger. Maan looked at her retreating figure in shock. He just confessed and she just walked off. He was getting more confused. He walked in after some time composing himself.
Geet was so much hurt and angry. She just kept on walking and reached the bar. She took a deep breath and looked around.
"Move" said Geet harshly and pushed Rohan and grabbed his drink. Rohan was startled and confused
"Hey that's my drink." Said Rohan trying to snatch the drink back.
"buzz off." Said Geet and gulped down the drink at once.
"pagal ladki woh alcohol hai." Shouted Rohan and stared at her in shock. He just ran out of the party not wanted to get suspended.
Geet just grabbed the whole bottle which Rohan left on the counter and gulped the last portion which was left. It gave her a nice feeling and knew she will be tipsy after sometime but she wanted this to get out of all the mess and forget everything and nothing can be better than this
When Maan reached the hall he looked around for her but couldn't find her. He checked all around and at last went to Sanaya
Sanaya and Vikrant were laughing and dancing as now peppy songs were up. Maan approached them.
"I can't find Geet around. Please help me to find her." Maan said in her ear as there was a lot of sound.
"but bhai Geet might be with Armaan and you should be with ridz ryt?" asked Sanaya from him.
"Armaan went with Ridz and asked me to drop Geet home and now I can't find her." Replied Maan and turned his face away. Sanaya sighed and excused Vikrant for sometime.
"you look here I will look outside."said Maan and made his way ouside. He looked around the parking lot and some other places but could not find her. He made his way back to the hall but was stopped by some giggling sounds meanwhile Sanaya also reached there. They saw Geet sitting on the swing and giggling to herself. They both were shocked to see her drunk..
"No way she can't be drunk." Sanaya was worried now. Maan looked at her weirdly like why can't she.
"she is bad with alcohol. She was last drunk 2 years back at college fe..." Before she could complete she was cut by Maan.
"baby I don't want to listen when she was last drunk. For now we have to bring her in senses and get her home." Said Maan and moved towards Geet.
"I wonder how did she got drunk.?" Asked Sanaya annoyed.
"I know how." Sighed Maan and cursed Rohan under his breath. They reached over her and Maan called her out.
"Geet c'mon we are going home." Said Maan and tried to grab her hand but Geet was in no mood to go back.
"no I don't want to go back. Leave..leave" said Geet and stood up but was a bit unstable.
"Geet." Sanaya called her and tried to stop her.
"No I am fine Sanaya you go back to Vikrant. He might be waiting." Said geet a little tipsy and tried to walk few steps and was about to fall down but Maan caught her in time. Geet lost her senses and fainted in his arms.
"Sanaya go inside I will drop her home. Don't worry." Said Maan and took Geet o his car. The moment he made her sit in car she started mumbling things which Maan could not get. He looked at her face so pure so serene. He open her bun and kept the rose in his pocket. He noticed her hair coin goon her face again and again disturbing her. He pushed her curls back and caressed her face. She pushed his hand away and turned in her sleep. Maan sighed and moved towards his seat and drived off.
"do you even know how much you hurt me. Everytime every minute." Geet said in her sleep. Maan thought she was talking to him.
"I am sorry Geet I would never hurt you. I promise." Maan knew it was useless to talk to her this time but he really wanted to say this time. Suddenly geet started giggling in her sleep.
"do you remember we had so much fun..beach part was my fav." Geet kept blabbering but Maan was confused hearing her talks. He had no idea what she was talking about. She started coming out of her sleep but not out of her senses infact she was blabbering nonsense.
"I told Dad I don't want to come here. He never listened to me. Na toh hum yahan aate na mai usse milti" geet made a sad face. Maan was getting all the more confused.
"Bhai ko bolo mujhe Armaan k sath holiday pe jane de. I promise I will take good care of me." Geet whined
"hey by the way do you see dad's new bodyguard? He looks like Hagrid from harry potter na. I told bhai to get his flying bike for me" said Geet and started laughing loudly. Maan smiled hearing her nonsense talks.
Geet went on and on until they reached home. Maan was confused as how to take her to her room without anyone noticing them. He thought for few minutes and took her to his house. He knows no one would be up in his house till now. He balanced her by keeping his hand on her waist and asked her to climb the stairs.
"where are we going?" asked Geet loudly but next moment kept his finger on her lips to shush her. He gestured from his hand to not to speal. Geet obliged innocently. He pointed towards the stairs. She giggled softly and climbed up the stairs. When they reached Maan's room geet became more sleepy.
She rested her head on his shoulder. He picked her up at once and made her lie on his bed and moved towards her balcony to see whether its open or not. To his luck balcony was open. He went again to his room and tried to wake her up.
"pls pls let me sleep. I am tired." Said Geet and turned over. Maan sighed and decided to carry her there. He picked her up and made his way to her room. He made her lie on her bed and covered her with the duvet.
He looked at her face and caressed it. It woke her up. She opened her eyes a bit.
"I love you Veer." Said Geet looking in his eyes.
"Please don't leave me and go. I miss you." Said Geet and closed her eyes again and drifted to sleep.
Maan was beyond shock to hear something like that.
"Veerrr?????????" Maan repeated and looked at her.
