CHAPTER 32
"Galliyaan"
"Tumhe kuch batana hai??"
"Umm... mujhe??? nahi to... mujhe kya batana hoga??"
"Are you sure??"
Her conversation with him few days back echoed in her ears... "Kahin kuch..." Her heart sunk making the tears flow down her cheek... A wind of fear hit her... she became frightened... Frightened of Maan Khurrana!
The train was on its speed crushing the air making her hairs go fly... She was seated next to window going shaky all over... "Nahi!! I am a strong Girl!! Jab maine kuch nahi kiya hai to phir main kyun darrun?? I hope jab main Maan ko sab sach sach bata dungi to wo mujhe misunderstand nahi karenge..." She tried to console herself... "Everything will be fine... mujhe nahi darrna hai!!" She tried to get a grip over her heart which was beating loud at the moment...
"Geet!! meri adat hai ya jo bhi kaho, main suni sunai baaton pe yaqeen nahi rakhta... jiski baat hai ussi se ja ke direct baat karta hoon! Isiliye tumse bhi yehi expect karta hoon!!! Jo hai! Jesa hai! without a second thought mujhse direct poocho... yeh sochne ki zaroorat nahi hai k mujhe bura lagay ga ya main ghalat samjhunga etc etc... "
His words boomed in her ears... She remembered him saying that when he took her out for dinner one Night after their engagement... How can she even forget those words... He earned her trust and the comfort level they share today holds a base of that Night... "Lekin phir bhi... yeh sab kar kaun raha hai?? mere aur samrat k pictures iss tarah se???" Now her focus shifted somewhere else... It did took her few minutes but slowly she took herself out from the fear that Maan will make a fuss out of it without listening her side of the story... She didn't knew exactly what he knows and what not but she was ready to show him these pictures by herself and tell him everything happening around her... Now there was some element of peace in her heart...
The whole way to coorg, her mind was preoccupied with the possibilities and about the person who could do this and for what reasons... she searched again in the envelop may be something else might be there but no... she found nothing except those photographs...What does those photographs means?? what was the sender trying to do?? was it some kind of warning for her? or some kind of threat?
...
"Tum Bhai se bhi bade kanjoos ho!!!" Aliya almost pushed Sid over the table...
"Tumhare saath naa kanjoos banna parta hai!! warna tum loot lo... Kangal kardo ek insaan ko... " Sid retorted back...
"Yeh paani dikh raha hai??" Aliya threaten him of threw water over him...
"You desearve a hard nut to crack!! Tumhe life partner milna chahiye jo seedha karde tumhe.." He pointed a finger at her... "Huh!! Bach gaya main... Nidhi meri life mein nahi ayi hoti to.. to pakka mom ne mujhe tumhare saath baandh dena tha.." He added...
"What??? Main tumhe bhai ki tarah samajhti hun aur tum!!!" Aliya's jaw dropped down her knees...
"Tum samajhti ho!! meri tumhari mom nahi!!" He snatched away the glass of water from her...
"Tumhe to main raakhi baandhugi ab se..." Aliya screamed...
"Good Idea!!" Sid laughed out loud at her irritated face...
"Uhhh... dafa ho jao tum!! khana nahi dungi tumhe main ajj..." She threw daggers at him...
"Huh!!! Jese roz mujhe bohat taaza taaza khana milta hai!! Tumhari dieting aur tum!! Sachi mein Nidhi aur Piya itne yaad a rahe haina kasam se!! Even Maan! wo bhi bohat acha cheif banta ja raha hai!!" Sid faked his tears...
"Bakwaas nahi karo tum!!!" Aliya snored... "Aur mumma papa tumhare baare mein kabhi aisa nahi sochte!! Unke sar pe to uss Rohail ka bhoot sawar hai!" And it just slipped out of her tongue...
"Kyaaa?????" Sid's eyes widen up and his mouth was left wide open...
"Wow!!!" He started clapping... "Rohaaaiiilll!!!! Ahem ahem!!" He got the right bone to scratch at...
"Main tumhe jaaan se maar daalungi tumne kisi k bhi saamne kuch bola to..." She pointed a finger at him...
"Ab Rohail k khayalon se bahar niklogi to kuch karogi naa tum!!" He teased her...
"Bakwaas mat karo.. aur wese bhi yeh mumma papa ki pasand hai!! meri nahi!! Main uss akdu sadu k baare mein kabhi iss tarah nahi soch sakti..." She yelled and marched upstairs towards her room...
"Hahahaha yaani aag donow taraf lagi hui hai!! phir bhi hum mirchi sirf ek he side pe daal rahe thai!! not fair!!" He giggled over his thought... "Ab jab tak Maan ata hai aur main usse yeh goody good news deta hun!!Tab tak kyun na thoda mirchi powder iss bharakti hui agg main bhi daala jaye???" He smirked... "Maza ajayega!!!" Rubbing his hands together while winking at Mini who was quietly sitting on a corner looking at Sid...
...
"Geet ko pick kar leyna time pe aur phir usse wahan le jaane se pehle thoda time dena so that wo ek baar apne app ko prepare karle presentation k liye sukoon se..." Abhi guided Maan on the phone...
"Kitn bajay a rahi hai??" He asked with an arched eyebrow... "Aur Geet kyun arahi hai??? Mujhe laga tha tum khud aoge ya Rohail ko bhejo gay..." He frowned...
"Ajeeb pagal insaan ho... mujhe thanks kehne k bajaye gussa kar rahe ho.." Abhi snored...
"Pagal main nahi tum ho gaye ho!! Kisi ladke ko bhejna tha naa... mere ane jane k time ka kuch pata nahi hota hai, mein iss condition mein nahi hun k kisi ko bhi apne saath sambhalta phirun... Oppar se sone pe suhaaga tum logon ne Geet ko bhej diya..." He clentched his jaws...
"Ab to bhej diya naa?? Now deal with it.." Abhi raised his shoulders carelessly... "Aur main bhi aoonga lekin 2 din baad... tab tak enjoy.." He laughed...
"Bharr mein jao tum sab... Time kya hai uske anne ka??" He rubbed his hairs with frustration...
"Subha 4 bajay tak pohunch jayegi train..." Abhi smiled...
"Huhhh..." He led out a deep breath and then said.. "Mujhe call kar k utha dena aur tab tak call karte rehna jab tak answer na kardun.. nOW bYE!!!" Before Abhi could react, he ended the call...
"Ajeeb paglon wali harkatein hogai hain isski... " Abhi shook his head while keeping his mobile aside...
"Tum soye nahi abhi tak???" Nikki got surprised to see him still up... He looked tired when he returned and she thought he will drift off to sleep early...
"Yaar please ek kaam kardo gii??" He requested...
"Kya??" She arched her eyebrow...
"3:30 call kar k iss pagal ko utha dena yaad se..." He made a face which made he laugh...
"Maan ko??" She conformed...
"Haan!! Ajeeb pagal insaan hai... harkatein bataoon iski to sar peet lo tum..."
"Hahahaha!!" She laughed even more when Abhi told her more but then agreed to call and wake him up...
It was hot and so he used to get out of the cottage and sleep on the rock near the waterfall in his sleeping bag... Though it was loud there.. the sound of waterfall and drops of water do land on him plus it was dangerous there aswell but still it brings peace inside him and the surrounding feels too cool and calm.. He just loves it in sleeping there under the open sky with pure nature around him free from all tensions and worries like a small baby...
His phone rang and rang again near his ear which he finally picked up after sometime...
"Hello???" He somehow picked it up still with his eyes closed...
"Hello?? Maan??" Nikki found it too weird on listening loud waterfall sound...
"Hmmm..." He hummed as if announcing yes its me...
"Arre... kya hmmm??? Abhi ne tumhe uthane ko bola tha!! uthooo..." Nikki almost yelled
"So jao yaar..." he said in an irritated voice...
"Maan!! utho aur jao railway station!! Aur yeh paani ki awaaz kesi hai??"She inquired arching her eyebrow...
"Bohat tezz hai!!" He replied while turning his side...
"Tum waqai pagal ho gaye ho!!! Ab utho aur jao... Geet gayab hogai to tumhe yahan koi zinda nahi chodegaa..." She threaten him...
"Kya time ho rah ahai??" He asked in the same sleepy tone...
"Sadhe teen (3:30)... Ab uski train pohuchti hogi... chalo niklo tum!!"
...
Her heart raced as she reached her desired station... Nothing was working now... no words, no promises... that fear was there... she was hell scared of Maan.. "Kaanp kyun rahi hun?? darna nahi hai!! come on yaar! you are strong enough to handle this..." She again told herself... Still shivering a bit, she took her luggage and stepped down from the train..
It wasn't crowdy at all... It was scary as only few people were there, mostly men... She gulped down her salva nervously looking here and there to see if she spots him somewhere... "Very bad decision!! Akele nahi ana tha.." She blabbered scolding herself... "Iss Abhi k bache ko to chodungi nahi!!"
Slowly taking small steps, she started moving towards a side still moving her eyes everywhere... "Ehsaas hona chahiye... akeli hun wo bhi itni raat ko, hadd hoti hai..." She cursed Maan under her breath...
"Hhh, i hope i am on time..." He bit his lower lip while walking inside and spotted her immediately... "Geet!!" He called out her name loudly to seek her attention...
"Thank God!!" She took a breath of relief on spotting him... He was simply dressed in a track suit with his sleeves folded a bit...
"Aap time pe nahi a sakte thai??? jaan nikal di meri..." She just bursted out unintentionally...
"Really??" He arched his eyebrow... "Mujhe 4 baje ka bola gaya tha aur abhi 4 bajne mein poore 10 minute baaki hai!" He said while looking in his watch...
"To?? time agay peeche bhi ho sakta hai..." She huffed...
"Aur phone kyun off tha tumhara??" He glared at her while wrapping his arms against his chest...
"Battery dead ho gai thi..." She made a face...
"Very Good!! Ab pakro phone aur call karo papa ko apne.. pareshaan ho rahe hain kab se.." He said while giving her his phone and carried her bag with himself...
"Inhe dekh kar to..." She scratched her forehead trying to observe if he is angry? if he knows anything...
Dialling Ranbir's number, she just followed him quietly and sat down next to him on the jeep while talking to Ranbir... Putting her bag at the back, he started his jeep and zoomed in...
"Thanks!!" She gave back him his mobile...
"Hmmm..." He nodded in a yes while focusing on the muddy road...
"So... tumhara kisi hotel wagera mein reservation hai ya bus aise he bhej diya un logon ne??" He inquired...
"Kya??? Mujhe nahi pata yeh sab... mujhe achanak se bheja gaya hai!! Abhi ne kaha uski appse baat hogai thii" She was shocked at his question...
"Iss Abhi ki to main..." He shook his head while taking a turn towards an old road...
"Wese... how was your journey??" He asked after sometime...
"Bhayanak!!" She blurted out...
"Kya???" He frowned...
"Mera matlab hai... it was tiring..." She covered up...
"Hmmm..." He pressed his lips together...
"Abhi kahun??? bolun?? nahi... abhi darr lag raha hai... samajh ne nahi arha mujhe..." Looking infront she kept on biting her thumb nervously not paying any attention to what he is doing...
"Ek to itni neend a rahi hai... tauba!!" He opened up his eyes widen to let his sleep fly away...
'Ummm... baat kar k dekhti hun, mood ka to pata chale kuch.." Giving her idea a second thought, she looked at him from the corner of her eye... "Aaa... yahan sab itna sunsaan sa kyun hai??" She questioned out of blue...
"Time dekho aur phir sawal karo... aur wese bhi.. yeh mumbai nahi hai.." He rolled his eyes at this stupid question.. Here he was hell sleepy and her question was an irritating one...
"Sada hua mood hai... koi baat karne ki zaroorat nahi hai... Drive karte hus to bilkul nahi.." She decided...
"Chalo... utro!" He stopped his jeep on a side near some old tuck shop and then asked her to come down along with him... "Yahan rehne ki jagah kahan hai??" She questioned herself while looking all around...
They both started walking on a way covered with dry leaves and flowers with some weird garden sort of areas on sides...
"Yeh hum kahan ja rahe hain??" She couldn't stop herself from asking question...
"Tumhara murder karne le ja raha hun!! jahan tumhare cheekne chillane se kisi k kaanow ko koi nuksaan na pohche..."He taunted...
"Ufff..." She folded her arms against her chest while gritting her teeth...
Soon after five minutes walk, they were in front of his cottage which was one of its own kind around an area which was surrounded with only trees and flowers.. like a jungle area! sound of waterfall can be easily heard.. She was loving the area!!
She was still looking all around while he opened the door and went inside, the sky started turning darkblue from black indication about the morning already...
Keeping hewr bag on the table he turned to talkk to her.. "Geet!!"
"Yeh ladki!!" He hit his head against his palm on not finding her behind him...
"Koi jinga lala hu utha k legaya to mein dekhta he reh jaoonga!! andar chalo.." He dragged her inside..
"Arre.." Her eyes came out with his sudden appearence...
"Arre na warre... chalo andar aur ja k so jao... Mujhe bohat neend a rahi hai!! Aur tum meri neend kharab karne mein hatim ho!! chalo andar.." It was more like a warning after which he almost dragged her inside...
"Wahan!! uss room mein ja k so jao..." He pointed on a side while locking up the main door...
"Aur mujhe bhi sone do..." He fall down flat on the sofa and covering his face with the pillow immediately drifted off to sleep...
"Ajeeb insaan hai!!" she clentched her jaws but she was sleepy too and right now he wasn't scary at all which made her calm down quick and she went to sleep...
It was about 11 when she woke up lazily... Taking a bath, she got dressed and got ready for the upcoming horrible day... She has to tell him the truth today whether he know it or not... Looking herself for the last time in the mirror, she took a deep breath and then got out of ther room only to find him on the dining table busy in talking with someone on the phone...
"Zyaada bakwaas nahi karna mujhse... jitna keh raha hun utna karo.." He blasted at someone...
"What late?? pichli do raaton se soya nahi hun main... ajj thoda sukoon se late gaya to uss mein bhi problem hai tum sab ko... " He gritted his teeth...
"Bhaar mein jao tum sab!!! Filhal mujhe sukoon se naashta karne do, phir ajoonga!" He put the phone down immediately after it and started applying butter on the toast... "Pata nahi kya samajh k rakha hai mujhe... kum se kum mujhse related cheez to batao mujhe lekin nahi!! sab khud handle karenge aur jab baat haath se ikal jayegi to phir mere sir pe bomb phorenge!!! usske baad wo ghissi pitti line tum gussa kyun ho rahe ho??? GUSSA NAHI KARUN TO KYA SHABAASHI DUN??? IDIOTS!!" He blabbered...
"Ahem!!" She got scared again seeing him in this so not good mood and slowly walked up to him... "All okay??" She managed to ask gulping down the lump formed inside her throat...
"Haan!!" He tried to be normal with her... "Tum naashta karlo aur phir apne presentation pe kaam karti raho... i'll pick you up at 2 and then drop you there... Phir wahan se farigh hoke mujhe call kardena.. okay?" He told her the plan quickly while getting up from the chair...
"A...Maan!! Aap bohat busy dikh rahe hain lekin mujhe kuch baat karni thi.." She bit her lower lip nervously... "Kuch batana tha..."
"Yaar... mera dimagh already iss waqt bohat ghooma hua hai!! Aur nahi ghoomana hai mujhe... Hum raat mein baat karenge jo bhi hai!" He almost chewed his words... "Main nikalta hun mujhelate ho raha hai... aur haan!! darna nahi.. " He added a warning and walked out of the cottage...
"Meri poori jaan nikal k darna nahi!!" She huffed... "Main kese bataoongi in ko sab kuch?? Sab ko gusse mein he kyun hona hai ajkal??" She became irritated...
...
""Damit!!! We are finished..." Dev started sulking with newspaper in his hands...
"Dev!! File complete hui??" Abhi asked while walkin inside Dev's cabin...
"File gayi bharr mein... yeh dekho! ab jab milega naa uss Singhaniya k bache ko award aur wo ayega tumhe apni bateesi dikhane.. phir poochunga!!" Dev snored...
"Khoon nahi jalao tum mera abhi se... Usski beizzati karne jo ek element of sukoon mila hai mujhe... filhaal usse mere andar he rehne do.." Abhi warned...
"Aur jo mere andar se yeh element of sukoon chala gaya hai wo??? Gin gin k badle nikale gaa wo company se... " Dev was actually worried...
"Bola naa filhaal chup raho!!" Abhi glared at him...
"Hello!! mu kyun utra hua hai donow ka??" Rohail wished them as he walked inside...
"Lo.. tumhe bhi parh k Abhi wala element of sukoon mile ga!!" Dev flew the newspaper towards Rohail...
...
"Ladki aur naukri!!! They are such a pain!!" Maan cried while massaging his back... "Wo ek manhoos raat!! aur uska yeh bhugtaan ajj tak bhugat raha hun..." He closed his eyes...
For don't know how many minutes he was sitting in the same position when his mobile ring brought him out of his trance...
"Hi Ni!!!" He said in a tired voice...
"Don't hi Ni!! Tumne mujhe end time pe ane se mana kyun kar diya??" She sounded angry...
"Ufff... kya bataoon yaar.. ek to uss 'Tom Bangali' ki mail ne wese he dimagh out kiya hua tha aur ooppar se yeh meri pagal paltan!!" He ran down his fingers through his hairs...
"Tom Bangali!! Ussne mail kiya?" Her jaw dropped down "Wo bhi tumhe?? kya?? aur kyun???" Nidhi's eyes widen up...
"wo choro... filhaal problem yeh hai k company bachane k chakkar mein maine ek bohat badi affat ko apne gale dall liya hai! Mujhe lagta tha deal final karne Rohail ya Abhi main se koi ek ayega! Apna kaam karega aur nikal jayega..." He sighed...
"So???" sHE ARCHED HER EYEBROW...
"So??? so yeh k un paglon ne Geet ko yahan bhej diya hai!! Isiliye tumhe yahan immediately ane se roka maine... Ab yeh yahan se jayegi to tum aogi... bohat problem hogaya hai!!" He made a face...
"Don't tell me wo tumhare saath, tumhare cottage mein hai!!" Nidhi's eyes widen up...
"Okay!! i won't telll you!!" He took a deep breath...
"Hogaya beda ghark!! ab tum mujhe naa uske jaane k baad he call karna... bye!!" Before she could hear any more bad news she ended the call...
"Bus beta Maan!! Teri jab lagti hai to phir theek thaak lagti hai" He shook his head...
"How was it??" He asked as she came and sat down in his jeep next to him after her presentation was over...
"It was fab!!" She was so happy at the moment that no other thought was there in her mind...
"Ahan!! Good!!" He passed a light smile to her started the jeep...
"Main thuk gayi!! Aur pata hai?? end time pe mera laptop ka charger jawab de gaya tha... Thank God presentation hoai.. lekin ab agaya kya karun??" SHe pouted...
"Laptop kesa hai tumhara dikhao..." He asked her to show her laptop...
"Yeh..." She showed him while taking it out from the bag...
"Haan!! iss pe lag jayega mera charger... Mere room mein pada hoga charger aur laptop to tum connect kar k dekh leyna.." He said and then stopped the car...
"Aapp wapas ja rahe hain??" She asked...
"I have no choice.." He sighed to which she nodded and getting out of the car started walking towards the cottage...
...
Getting inside his room, she took the charger and also found an internet USB... "Great! yehi chahiye thi mujhe..." She smiled and taking it out connected with her laptop but it required password..
"Oho!! ab kya??" She scratched her head... "Abhi to theek lag rahe thai naa?? ab call karti hun..." She dialled Maan again...
"Kya hua?? all okay??" she heard him immediately...
"Haan haan sab theek hai! uhh wo... actually mujhe internet access chahiye tha aur password???" She pressed her lips together..
"Yaar password wagera nahi yaad hai mujhe... tum ek kaam karo, mere laptop ka password message karta hun usspe characters visible kar k dekh lo.." He gave her a solution and ended the call...
After two minutes she was successful in connecting her lappy with the internet..."Hhh ab issko bund kar deti hun..." She was about to close Maan's laptop when by mistake his minimized internet browser opened up in front of her displaying her Samrat and Her all photographs...
"Yeh..." Her mouth hung up and the wind of fear again hit her from a new end... It was like her breath got stuck seeing all that... "No!!!" Tears started make way out of her eyes...
His behaviour since morning started revolving around her eyes making her heart beat rise... "Maan ne... yeh sab.." Her breath hitched and she started sweating... With a thud she closed the screen of his laptop and ran outside towards her room...
"Nahi!!! main kya karungi abb??? kisko kya samjahoongi? ghar pe sab log!!" She started feeling cold... her cries were now truning in hiccups... "Maan ko sach main lagta hai k mere aur samrat k beech kuch?? How can he even think like that??" She started crying more and more... She was deeply hurt with Maan and scared too..
"Tumhe pata chalega k wo tumhara saath nibhaane k laiq hai bhi ya nahi... Aur agar nahi hai, to aise aadmi se shaadi kar k kya faida??" A shiver ran down her spine as Vikas's words hit her...
"Nahi!!! Main yeh rishta nahi kho sakti... Wo saath na bhi dein tab bhi main unhe apni baat ka yaqeen dilane pe majboor hun!! Mujhe Maan k shuk ko door karna hoga... " She felt helpless against her heart...
...
It was about 10 when he came back to his cottage... Closing the door behind and locking it up, he took a deep breath and fell on the sofa kept in the hall... Closing his eyes, he rested his head at the back and then got up from the sofa after sometime... "Yeh kahan gayi?? so gayi kya??" He questioned himself while looking all around...
"Acha hua so gayi!!" He took a breath of relief... "Bhook lagi hai yaar.." He moved towards the kitchen while rubbing his empty stomach...
"Hmmm... Apple acha hai!" After thinking for few minutes what to eat, he took an apple from the basket and took a bite of it, meanwhile he started cutting mangoes to eat further...
"Chaloji... ab apna boriya bister pakro aur peeche niklo..." He told himself while taking steps towards his room when he heard her... "Apko sach mein lagta hai mera aur samrat ka affair chal raha hai??"
He stood still on his spot taking a deep breath, Anger gushed inside him. Turning to her, he looked at her from bottom to top.. her eyes were red and looked puffy, she was shaking...
He looked in her eyes straight and walked forward slowly to approach her... She stepped back, she was scared..."Mujhe lagta nahi hai... Mujhe pata hai!!" His glary gaze twisted her soul... A tear dropped down her cheek, she was utterly shocked..
He took one more step ahead closing all the distance between them almost pinning her into the wall..."Trust me! Tum chaho bhi to mujhe cheat nahi kar sakti!!" He whispered near her ear making her tremble and moved his face away a bit... She lifted up her eyes to look at his face where anger was visible... This made her even more confuse...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai Geet?? Jahil! Shakki!! Gawar kism ka insaan hun?? Tumhe jaanta nahi hun mein?? pehchanta nahi hun??" He questioned with a serious look on his face...
"Mujhe tum par aur samrat par shuk karna hota yeh kahani ussi din khatam hogai hoti jis din university mein wo dare wala scene hua tha!!" He gritted his teeth as his anger made way down him..."You have any idea? wo photographs ghar tak pohunch jati to kya hota?? kis kis ko explanation deti phirti tum??" He yelled...
"Mujhe nahi pata tha unke baare mein kuch bhi..." She tried to explain... her tears were not stopping...
"Really??" He arched his eyebrow... "Koi tumhe stalk kar raha hai!! aur tumhe iss baat ki bhanak bhi nahi lagi!!" He was sarcastic... "I thought tum ladkiyun mein yeh sense bohat strong hoti hai!! koi 200 ft ki doori se bhi tumhe ghoore to tum logon ko ehsaas ho jata hai!! Aur yahan to photographs khich rahin thi... kese??? kese maan lun k tumhe ehsaas tak nahi hua???" He questioned while glaring at her...
She went speechless for a moment... ofcourse she used to have doubts as someone is following her but she ignored them everytime.. "Main tumse choti choti cheezein poochta nahi lekin iss ka matlab yeh hargiz nahi hai k tum mujhse iss kism ki badi badi baatein bhi discuss na karo..." He was on fire at the moment...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai?? yahan hota nahi hun to kuch pata nahi hota mujhe tumhare baare mein??" He questioned...
"Wahan beth kar yahan hone wali har baat app nahi samajh sakte..." A tear escaped her eye as she whispered on his face...
"Great!! Tab to baat karne ka faida he nahi... Already decide kar liya hai tumne sab apni taraf se..." He moved back with a frustrated look on his face...
"Geet!!! Maine tumhe phone kiya tha!!" He chewed his words... "Ek baar nahi... kai baar!! baar baar poocha, kuch batana chahti ho?? yeh soch kar k kabhi na kabhi to tum mujhse kuch kaho gii!! Lekin nahi... Tumne kuch nahi kaha... tumhe apni har problem ko khud deal karna tha! fine... Then go and deal with it..." He yelled at the end...
"Main kya batati?? Mujhe khud wo photographs kal mile... Main aur Samrat..." She left her sentence incomplete...
"Tum aur Samrat kya???" He shouted... "Tum aur Samrat kuch nahi! infact uss bechare ko to pata bhi nahi hai k usske saath kya hua hai... Iss poori cheez mein koi ek innocent hai to wo Samrat hai!!" He defended him...
Her eyes narrowed listening this from him "What?? to apko kya lagta hai? sab meri ghalti hai??" She was hurt...
"Tumhari ghalti nahi hai!! Tumhari bewaqoofi hai... Un pictures mein Samrat haina tumhare saath?? to phir khud to wo photographs khech nahi sakta... Aur wese bhi, yeh pictures to according to you tumhe kal mile haina??? lekin usse pehle jo kuch ho raha tha uska kya??? Wo sab mujhe batana zaroori nahi samjha tumne??" He clentched his jaws...
"Kya batana zaroori nahi samjha?? Aap ko agar yeh sab already pata hai to aur kya janna chahte thai app?? Kya sunna chahte thai mujhse??" She got hyper..
"Yehi k tum Ajay Singhaniya ko kese jaanti ho?? Kyun wo tumhare peeche pada hai?" He bursted out and she became numb... "Tumhe nahi lagta i have right to know all this?? ya tum wait kar rahi thi k wo tumhe sab k saamne tamasha bana k pesh kare???" His eyes became red with anger...
"Main..." She was dumb stuck...
"Ya to tum meri life mein ati nahi... Aur ab jab i ho to tum apni marzi se i ho, kisi ne force nahi kiya tha tumhe..." He peeved... "Ek baat achi tarah se jaan lo aur samajh lo k ab Tum ya Tum se judi koi bhi baat, donow mujhse judi hain!! Mujhe effect karti hain... Past mein tumhare 10-12 affairs bhi hote naa to unse mujhe koi farq nahi parne wala tha... As soon as you entered my life, You became MINE!!" He held her by her shoulders possessively...
"Singhaniya ka to jo mujhe karna hai mein karunga!! Usse koi bacha nahi sakta ab mujhse... Lekin yeh sab mein tumse sunna chahta tha!! Par shayad tumne uski zaroorat he mehsoos nahi ki..." He passed her a disappointing look and stepped back...
She was shocked, surprised, relieved, happy, sad and all at the same time... It took her sometime to actually believe what all he just said and in the mean time he marched out from the back door towards the waterfall area...
He needed to calm himself down after that outburst... Putting his legs into the water, her sat down on the rock... He was actually feeling really light after whatever happened or else since passed 3 days after he saw that mail he was on fire...
Yes, Aliya did deleted the mail but that consist of only one picture.. later 3 days back, her got another mail in which not one but many pictures were there... He didn't burnt up on them but on the email ID he saw... It was same who mailed Akshay about him having affairs and all... He already found out about Singhaniya behind the email address long time back but was quiet thinking will deal later with it as he had more important thing to look at...
What disturbed him is the connection between Geet and Ajay, he was unaware about... And even if this was not enough, he called her to know everythin and there she denied having any problem which added fuel to fire making him angry on her... He didn't wanted the matter to be public... It was between them only and so he didn't say a word to her knowing she will end up crying and won't listen the full thing as per her nature and at the end of the day everything will get disclosed in front of the whole family which will again be a trouble for her only... He didn't even wanted Vikas or Piya to be a part of it and so he controlled his temper...
Moving his legs tro and fro in the water, he kept on glancing at the waterfall... He was in some really deep thought when he felt her join in... Putting her legs inside water, she sat down right next to him staring at the whole view... "I am sorry!!" He heard her...
Turning his face towards her, he found her looking at the waterfall intently... "Main bohat confused thi... mujhe samajh nahi aya jo mein mehsoos kar rahi thi mera weham tha aur bus aise he..."She sighed... "Papa ya kisi ko yeh soch kar nahi bataya k shayad wo yeh sochein k mein bohat unprofessional tareeqe se behave kar rahi hun... aur app!! App ko batana chahti thi... par darr lag raha tha..."
"Main kha jata naa..." He taunted in his usual way...
"Pata nahi... bus mein yeh kehna chahti hun k main app he ko batana chahti thi... bohat baar koshish bhi ki... par jese har baar zabaan ko taala lag jata tha.." She opened up her heart... "Phone pe.. pata app iss baat ko kese leyte.."
"Abhi bhi milne k liye kaha naa tumne... tab bhi keh sakti thi, tum achi tarah se jaanti ho mera ana jana kabhi bhi ho jata hai..." He was in no mood to listen any stupid excuses...
"Jhoot nahi kahungi... mein kisi bhi baat k liye sure nahi thi! Mujhe laga office mein bhi jo kuch ghalat ho raha hai meri wajah se hai... darr gayi thi..." She confessed...
"Tum kisi TV drame ki heroin ho jo tumhari wajah se sab sahi ghalat ho raha hai??" He arched his eyebrow at her while taking out his legs from the water and folding them...
"Aur abhi yahan mere saat darr nahi lag raha?? Yahan to pohunch mein bhi ho... koi bachane wala nahi hai tumhe..." He shook his head...
"Yehi to khass baat hai!! saamne darr nahi lagta mujhe..." She replied back softly hiding her smile which made him laugh..."Ek he peice ho tum bhi..." He shook his head and lied down flat on the rock...
"You see! i am quite possessive about my belongings..." He took her hand in his which made her move back a bit and lie down next to him... "Tumhara kisi bhi tarah ka koi tamasha bane ya koi tumne ungli uthaye... mujhe bardaasht nahi!!" He said while keeping her hand near his heart...
"Ajay ka ek baar rishta aya tha mere liye.. appse pehle! Mujhe parhna tha, i rejected topic close... Ab jab wo office aya aur jis tarah se mujhse..." She felt a bit uneasy when it comes to explain himm the thing... "Bus mujhe acha nahi laga... lekin Additi ya kisi ne bhi kuch weird mehsoos nahi kiya warna wo mujhse poochte to sahi... mujhe laga mera weham hai!!"
"Tum wehmi ho?? tumhe kyun laga yeh sirf wehem hai??" He turned on his side towards her... "Kyunki mein office k kisi kaam se mein jab bhi samrat k saath bahar jati thi mujhe shuru mein laga k shayad koi peeche kar traha hai... par wahan koi nahi hota tha.. Samrat ko bhi kabhi koi nahi dikha... bus isiliye meine wehem samajh k jhitak diya iss khayal ko... aur..huhhh..." She took a deep breath...
"Phir wese bhi ghar mein itne time baad sab masti mazak mein busy thai... Yeh sab baatein sochne ka mujhe time he nahi mila... office he itna zeher lagne laga tha.. Aur ajay se to mujhe wese bhi khass kism ki nafrat hai!! kyun sochti uske baare mein main??" She pouted...
"Bilkul bilkul..." He smiled teasing her...
"Aurr... appko yeh sab kese pata hai?? wo pictures appko kisne mail kii??" She became serious...
"Lo... itni deir se kya main bakwaas kar raha hun??" He hit his head against his palm... "Pagla gaya hai wo tumhare peeche... Yeh saara khel Mr Singhaniya ka hai madam!!"
"Lekin meine kiya kyahai?? baat bhi nahi hui kabhi meri usse..." She again became worried...
"Wo pshycho case hai chor do usse... Usske Dimagh seedhe karta hun abhi main..." He made a face...
"Aur oppar se Abhi, Dev, Rohail k jhagre ne aur dara diya tha mujhe... mujhe kya pata tha wo teenow natak kar rahe hain??" She complaint...
"Hehehe!! unko mere against koi bharkane ki koshish karega aur wo bharak jaenge?? tch! Imossible!" He smiled...
"Aur agar apko koi mere against bharkane ki koshish kare to??"she asked innocently..
"Bharak gaya mein??" He asked relating to recent incident...
"Nahi!!" She shook her head in a no while staring up in the sky.. She was feeling damn light tonight... His confession of emotions about her made her feel she was on cloud 9 tonight... Somewhere it was also the effect of his beautiful surrounding around them... Her eyes got a bit heavy and soon she drifted off to sleep...
"Tumhe yaad hai..." He spoke out still looking up at the sky after a silence of few minutes... He truned his face to look at her but found her sleeping peacefully...
"Hmmm..." He took a deep breath while looking at her angelic face and then closing his eyes too drifted to sleep in the same position...
She stirred in her sleep to find a confortable position and some softness under her head which made her shift upto his shoulder... he was not in some deep sleep and so the movement made him open up his eyes... He smiled at her frowing face and shifted her in his arms wheras her head was now over his chest...
...
He woke up at about 4 again as his left hand hit a sharp stone on the rock... He looked at his watch and then realised where they both were... He was about to wake her up so that they can go inside and sleep peacefully but her sleeping face caught his attention... Leaning over her, he kissed her forehead and moved away her hairs though his finger which were falling on her face..
"Busss!! Ab yeh mujhe meri life mein chahiye..." He decided... It just came out straight from his heart that he now wants to see her face everyday in the morning when he opens his eyes and everynight when he closes them... This girl has driven him crazy since passed few days and now the desire to make her his just filled up in his heart... He himself discovered just few days back that how possessive he is about her... Again a single tear dropped down his eyes... "Tum wahan pohunch gayi ho jahan main nahi chahta thak shaadi se pehle tum pohcho... Tumhe paane ki chahat din ba din ghar kiye ja rahi hai mere dill mein" He whispered...
The sky turned dark blue from the black warning him to take her inside now as it was already morning and even he can see some chances of rainfall "Geet!!" He tried to wake her up...
She woke up slowly, took aminute to open her eyes properly and then jumped up... "Hum saari raat yahin par thai??" Her eyes came out making him smile at her...
"Haan!! Ab andar chal k so jayen??" He asked to which she nodded... He got up straighten his sirt and waited for her to get up on her feet... She was in a simple churidaar suit at the moment... she too got up and was straiten her shirt when a bug fall down of it and landed on her feet...
"Ahhh!!" She jumped like a kid several times and before he could react she was in the water..
"Hahahaha!!!" He laughed at her...
"Arghhh..." she glared at him from the lake...
"Tumhe uthte he nahane ka itna shawk hai??" He teased her...
"Mujhe bahar nikalna hai yahan se..." She glared at him...
"Aise to tum bahar nikalne se rahi... wo seedhiyaan dikh rahi hain wahan..." He pointed far away on the right side where stairs were there to got inside the water and get out from there...
"Itna doorr..." She cried to which he nodded and started walking on the rocks whereas she walked inside the water...
It started raining already and she was near the waterfall in the lake which made it difficult to take care of herself.. He didn't wanted that but still he got inside the water to take her out... "Idhar!!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her away from the waterfall.. now she was rubbing her face with her palms to clear the water drops so that she'll be able to open up her eyes... He ran his fingers through his wet hairs and looked at her who was still struggling with herself... His gaze stopped at her, her dress was sticking to her fragile figure showing her each and every curve and with her irritated face she was looking damn cute.. he stepped forward still in the water and stood behind her...
Tu meri neendo me sota hai
Tu mere ashqo mein rota hai
Sargoshi si hai khayalon mein
Tu na ho, phir bhi tu hota hai
"Uhh!!" With an irrtated face, she tried to rub her hairs to let the extra water pour out when he felt him really close to her near her neck... Wrapping his arm around her from the back he pull her closer to him making her breath hitch... Kneeling down his face on the crook of her neck, he traced his cold lips upward on her neckline which made her tremble and and walk out hesitantly but he was quick to pull her back... she time she landed up on his chest... resting her back on him, she took a deep breath trying to control the emotions that has arisen, his touch was so overpowering that she was just melting in it... He traced her one arm with his making those goosebumps again pop out... she shivered, feeling abit shy and not been able to take it any more just turned around and hugged him tight...
Wrapping his arms around her he held her tight against his body... This was not in his hands anymore... It was just happening, he wasn't thinking about anything at the moment... He parted her slowly, her eyes were closed. He held her chin and lifted her face up... It was still raining and the water drops were not letting her open her eyes properly...
Hai sila.. tu mere dard ka
Mere dil ki duaayein hain..
He covered her face with his and pulled her face towards his a little more... His lips came close to her making her shiver.. She closed her eyes tightly and he saw her lips trembling with anticipation... He smiled at it and moving ahead, kissed her cheek... "Will you regret it ever??" He whispered...
Teri galiyan... galliyan teri, galliyan..
Mujhko bhaavein galiyan, teri galiyan
Teri galiyan...galiyaan teri, galliyan..
Yuhin tadpaavein, galliyan teri, galliyan..
Her eyes were still closed but her grip over his shirt got tighter... Assuming it as her positive response, he placed his lips over hers and kissed her slowly without even thinking further for a second... It was so magical all around, neigther it was morning nor it was night, They were in the middle of the lake under the rain and waterfall on the side... Only sound of waterfall can be heard... It was their moment!! Their very own moment which was going to be the most memorable one of their lives... More like a fantacy they could wish for ever...
"Ruk main sakta nahi hun kisi bhi haal mein... so mujhe to jana padega, lekin tum tayyar rehna! I'll pick you up by 1 phir dekhte hain kya karna hai..." He smiled at her while taking a bite of his apple...
"Wese.. app jab bhi yahan taya hain, yahin therte hain??" She further asked...
"Hotel arrange karti thi company shuru mein to.. lekin phir i discovered this aur hotel se to sasta he hai so, yes!! Company ko bhi koi problem nahi tha aur mujhe bhi bohat pasand hai yeh jagah so... here i am!!" He chuckled and got up to go...
"Arre haan!! Abhi kab araha hai??" He asked...
"Kal!! App he ne le kar ana haina!!" She teased him...
"Yeah Right!!" He rolled his eyes and went out waving a bye to her...
...
"Pata nahi Geet ne Maan ko call kar k kuch batay bhi tha ya nahi!!" Vikas thought while checking some random stuff on piya's phone... "Ek to yaar... aise itne chakkar lagte hain iss ke aur ab zaroorat hai k ek chakkar nahi lag raha..." He huffed...
"Bhaiya!!" He turned his face to look at the door from where Nandini just entered... "Yeh kholiye please.." She handed him a jar which was tightly capped...
"Kya bana rahi ho tum??" He asked...
"Kuch nahi..." She said while picking Aadi up in her arms...
"Uhhh..." Aadi made a face and grabbing her hairs pulled them out...
"Ouch!! ek to yeh appka beta!! mere baal..." Nandini cried with pain...
"Jab pata hai usse tumhare baal itne pasand hain to bacha k rakhne chahiye naa..." He chuckled...
"Aap naa bus rehne he dijye..." She pouted while putting Adi back on the bed... "Wese shaadi k kapre to laye haina??" She asked...
"Arre yaar... Mujhe thodi pata tha mujhe yahan yeh sab functions bhi attend karne padenge... kuch nahi laaya main aisa wesa..." He made a face...
"Shopping!!!" Nandini clapped...
"Oye! beth jao chup chap!! koi shopping wopping nahi ho rahi hai!!" he put water on all her excitement..
"To phir kya karenge???" She asked...
"Bola hai maine kisi ko... hopefully function se pehle uska koi chakkar lag jaye aur kapre a jaen.." He replied back...
"Bhabhi!! Aap kya pehnne wali hain??" Nandini asked Piya who just came out of the washroom while rubbing her wet hairs...
"Kahan??" Piya passed a confused look...
"Arre wo jo shaadi mein jaan hai!!" Nandini reminded her... It was some relatives wedding of Malhotras...
"Yaar mein ek sarre to iss tarah ki le kar i thi... Ab ya to humara bag time pe ajaye ya phir borrow karlungi kisi se kuch..." Piya replied carelessly...
"Aap donow he shopping se bhaagte ho kya??" Nandini narrowed her eyes...
"Yaar iss tarh k kapre naa... phirr rakhe he rehte hain!! wahan to koi kaam atay nahi hain!! Infact meri to shaadi k time jo kapre bane thai... un mein se kuch abhi tak wese k wese he rakhe hue hain!! use he nahi hue..." Piya explained...
"Yeh bhi set hai!!" Nandini giggled...
"Arre kya yaar..." Vikas made a face.. "Wo... Akshay Uncle ki anniversary party kab hai??" He asked...
"Wo to ek hafte baad hain.. usse kya karna hai appne??" She asked with a confused look...
"Arre tumhare jiju se jo milna hai!! Main bhi to dekhun kitne paani mein hai!!" He smirked...
"Hahahaha!!!" Acha mein yeh neeche de kar ati hun!!" She took away the jar which Vikas opened up and went out...
"Shaadi to uske baad haina?? To Maan le he ayega sab samaan!!" Piya calculated mentally...
"Ayega to... but i hope Geet ki Maan se uss baare mein baat hogai ho... " Vikas sighed...
"Hmmm..." Piya pressed her lips together...
...
Kaisa hai, rishta tera mera
Bechehra, phir bhi kitna gehara
Yeh lamhe, lamhe yeh resham se
Kho jaaye, khona jaye hum se
Kaafila, waqt ka
Rok le.. Ab dil se juda na ho
As per his promise he was back by 1 and this was their time to go out and spend some quality time together... He took her out all the way to coorg places she would loved to see, greenry, mountains all around... Since rainfall took place in the morning, so it was not very hot today... It was nice a weather...
"Are you made?? Tum log sach mein iss kism ki harkatein karte ho??" Maan was astonoished on few things Geet's just told him about her and Nandini...
"To?? Har kisi ka enjoy karne ka apna tareeka hota hai!!" She raised her shoulders carelessly and took a bite of maize..
"Haan!! Infact mujhe lagta hai uss bhutte wale ki kamai ka asal zariyaan tumhi donow hogi.." He shook his head...
"Haan to!! wo to obvious haina!!" She giggled...
"Wese... yahan kitne din hain app??" She inquired...
"Depends yaar... wese bhi yahan se wapas mumbai he pohunchna hai maine.." He pressed his lips together...
"Acha mujhe yeh to batao k... Tum yahan kese pohunch gayi?? i mean mujhe laga tha k Rohail ya Abhi mein se koi ayega..." He asked his long waited important question...
"Arre unke drame he khatam nahi ho rahe... Infact jab mujhe pata chala haina k they were acting, i was terribly shocked.." She shook her head widening her eyes... "Actually yeh urgent tha aur wo donow do din wahan se hill bhi nahi sakte thai!! Maine presentation pe kaam kiya hua tha to mujhe bhej diya!!" She spoke out carelessly...
"Train se.." He rolled his tongue inside..
"Very Funny!!" She smacked him on his shoulder on finding out that he was making fun of her...
Their next plan was to go for a movie which turned out a disaster for Geet as per his previous record, Maan slept in the middle of the movie...
"Movie achi thi naa??" Geet commented in a sarcastic way while walking up to the jeep along with him...
"Bakwaas thi... I just hate fuzul ki love stories... na sar hota hai na pairr.." He was blunt with his opinions...
"Ahan!! Baat to aise kar rahe hain jese k poori movie mein jaag rahe thai..." She narrowed her eyes at him..
"Boring thi jabhi to so gaya!!" He was ready with his justifications...
"Ahhh... Apni ghalti kabhi nahi maante naa??? humesha jawab ready hota hai..." She shook her head while settling down in the jeep...
"Depends!!" He chuckled winking at her and started the jeep... "Aur tum kya itne se mein chilla rahi ho... abhi to dekho ane wale kuch dinow mein, main tumhe kese kese jhatke deta hun!!" She chuckled...
"Please... " She rolled her eyes... "Jo sab se khatarnak jhatka milna tha naa mujhe?? mill chuka hai... Isiliye no chance..."
"Chalo dekh leyte hain!! Tum bhi yahin ho Main bhi yahin hun!!" He smirked and started the jeep...
...
Returning back to the cottage, Geet took a sigh of relief as she was really very tired... He made her walk alot, the whole day... "Tum beth kya gayi ho??? khane peene ka kuch karo... bahar wahar nahi ja raha ab mein..." He spoke out while filling a glass of water for himself...
"How mean!!" She frowned...
"Yeah! that i am... chalo shabaash!! ab utho aur kitchen mein ja k kuch banao..." He patted her shoulder...
"Urghhh..." She smacked back and got up passing a grumpy look to him...
"Aur haan!! wo tasveerein zara idhar de dena!! unka achaar to nahi daalna hai tumhe.." He almost ordered...
"Aap he rakhiye... aur app he achaar bhi daaliye..." She retorted back while opening the door of the room she was staying in...
Teri galliyan..Galliyan teri galliyan..
Mujhko bhave galliyan, teri galliyan
Teri galliyan..Galliyan teri galliyan..
Yuhin tadpave, galiyan teri...Galliyan teri
After the Dinner, a tired Geet retired to sleep feeling the pain in her feet And he asusual took his sleeping bag and went out on the rock... "Ab sab jagah se yeh bhi dhoondni parengi!! uffo ek aur kaam!!" He scowled while tearing all the pictures and throwing them inside the water...
"Khair!! Ab iss Singhaniya k saath face off to banta hai!! Bohat zyaada hogaya iss baar!!" He sighed and closed his eyes recalling their moment, he can feel it again all around him... The place still holds that magic...
Next Morning...
"Oye Hoye!! Tum kaunsa ajeeb o ghareeb karnama anjaam de k yahan underground huewe ho??" Abhi commented as he took him to his cottage...
"Busss... wait he kar raha tha!! Issi waqt tumhara murder karunga aur kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega!!" Arman retorted back while rubbing his hands together...
"Ankhein bund kar k meri biwi ko yaad karo... phir jo marzi aye karo.." Abhi was no less...
"Wo bohat daring kaam hai!! oppar tum jao gay lekin bhoot uska ayega mujhpe humla karne.." He passed a shaky look to Abhi so started laughing on that... "Hahahaha!!! I missed you yaar!! i mean teri harkatein naa..." Abhi shook his head...
"Huhhh... Tumne yaad kiya, main agaya!! Ab dekho new improved harkatein... Tumhare chakke chootne wale hain!!" He grinned...
"Bhagwan bachaye sab ko..." Abhi held his palms together... "Aur haan!! mujhe Thank you to bolo... Poore do din diye maine.."
"Abay Thank You kahe kaa??" He narrowed his eyes... "Khwari karwadi meri achi khassi..." He made a face... how on earth he is gona confess that 'yes! what you did was much needed'
"Khwari k bache!! ehsaan mano mera!! Ehsaan faramosh!!" Abhi snored...
"Hahahaha!!! acha..." He laughed... "Thank you so much Abhimanyu Ji!! Apki wajah se meri life ki saari tension door ho gai!!"
"Hhehe... acha ab... chalna kab hai??" Abhi asked...
"Tum log beth k apna jo bhi karna hai karo... Main phir... 2 baje ki meeting haina?? to chor dunga tab tak.." He told his planning...
...
"Baapre... tumhe darr nahi laga iss ajeeb o ghareeb insaan k saath yahan poore do din guzarte hue??" Abhi teased Geet...
"Darr??? You have no ideaa about my condition..." Geet showed him eyes...
"Aisa kya kar diya??" Abhi chuckled and next moment he was getting beaten up by Geet from all the fruits present inside the basket on the dining table...
"Tum har baar!! baar baar sabit kar deti ho k tum kitni perfect ho iss champion k liye!!" Abhi commented while catching all the fruits...
Later, Maan came back from his work and dropping them on their desired place, went back... At the end of the day, all work was sorted out and done after which Maan had to drop them back to railway station...
"Aur tum kab tashreef lao gay ??? Mumbai chakkar lagay gaa bhi ya nahi??" Abhi asked...
"Dekhta hun!!" He smiled and bidding bye to them walked out...
" I hope, you are on your way!!" He called someone after stepping out of the railway station...
"Fine!! See you!!" He smiled and ended the call... "SEE YOU!!" He chuckled kicking a stone and jumping over speed breaker started walking towards his jeep...
Sameera
😊😉
😳
"Galliyaan"
"Tumhe kuch batana hai??"
"Umm... mujhe??? nahi to... mujhe kya batana hoga??"
"Are you sure??"
Her conversation with him few days back echoed in her ears... "Kahin kuch..." Her heart sunk making the tears flow down her cheek... A wind of fear hit her... she became frightened... Frightened of Maan Khurrana!
The train was on its speed crushing the air making her hairs go fly... She was seated next to window going shaky all over... "Nahi!! I am a strong Girl!! Jab maine kuch nahi kiya hai to phir main kyun darrun?? I hope jab main Maan ko sab sach sach bata dungi to wo mujhe misunderstand nahi karenge..." She tried to console herself... "Everything will be fine... mujhe nahi darrna hai!!" She tried to get a grip over her heart which was beating loud at the moment...
"Geet!! meri adat hai ya jo bhi kaho, main suni sunai baaton pe yaqeen nahi rakhta... jiski baat hai ussi se ja ke direct baat karta hoon! Isiliye tumse bhi yehi expect karta hoon!!! Jo hai! Jesa hai! without a second thought mujhse direct poocho... yeh sochne ki zaroorat nahi hai k mujhe bura lagay ga ya main ghalat samjhunga etc etc... "
His words boomed in her ears... She remembered him saying that when he took her out for dinner one Night after their engagement... How can she even forget those words... He earned her trust and the comfort level they share today holds a base of that Night... "Lekin phir bhi... yeh sab kar kaun raha hai?? mere aur samrat k pictures iss tarah se???" Now her focus shifted somewhere else... It did took her few minutes but slowly she took herself out from the fear that Maan will make a fuss out of it without listening her side of the story... She didn't knew exactly what he knows and what not but she was ready to show him these pictures by herself and tell him everything happening around her... Now there was some element of peace in her heart...
The whole way to coorg, her mind was preoccupied with the possibilities and about the person who could do this and for what reasons... she searched again in the envelop may be something else might be there but no... she found nothing except those photographs...What does those photographs means?? what was the sender trying to do?? was it some kind of warning for her? or some kind of threat?
...
"Tum Bhai se bhi bade kanjoos ho!!!" Aliya almost pushed Sid over the table...
"Tumhare saath naa kanjoos banna parta hai!! warna tum loot lo... Kangal kardo ek insaan ko... " Sid retorted back...
"Yeh paani dikh raha hai??" Aliya threaten him of threw water over him...
"You desearve a hard nut to crack!! Tumhe life partner milna chahiye jo seedha karde tumhe.." He pointed a finger at her... "Huh!! Bach gaya main... Nidhi meri life mein nahi ayi hoti to.. to pakka mom ne mujhe tumhare saath baandh dena tha.." He added...
"What??? Main tumhe bhai ki tarah samajhti hun aur tum!!!" Aliya's jaw dropped down her knees...
"Tum samajhti ho!! meri tumhari mom nahi!!" He snatched away the glass of water from her...
"Tumhe to main raakhi baandhugi ab se..." Aliya screamed...
"Good Idea!!" Sid laughed out loud at her irritated face...
"Uhhh... dafa ho jao tum!! khana nahi dungi tumhe main ajj..." She threw daggers at him...
"Huh!!! Jese roz mujhe bohat taaza taaza khana milta hai!! Tumhari dieting aur tum!! Sachi mein Nidhi aur Piya itne yaad a rahe haina kasam se!! Even Maan! wo bhi bohat acha cheif banta ja raha hai!!" Sid faked his tears...
"Bakwaas nahi karo tum!!!" Aliya snored... "Aur mumma papa tumhare baare mein kabhi aisa nahi sochte!! Unke sar pe to uss Rohail ka bhoot sawar hai!" And it just slipped out of her tongue...
"Kyaaa?????" Sid's eyes widen up and his mouth was left wide open...
"Wow!!!" He started clapping... "Rohaaaiiilll!!!! Ahem ahem!!" He got the right bone to scratch at...
"Main tumhe jaaan se maar daalungi tumne kisi k bhi saamne kuch bola to..." She pointed a finger at him...
"Ab Rohail k khayalon se bahar niklogi to kuch karogi naa tum!!" He teased her...
"Bakwaas mat karo.. aur wese bhi yeh mumma papa ki pasand hai!! meri nahi!! Main uss akdu sadu k baare mein kabhi iss tarah nahi soch sakti..." She yelled and marched upstairs towards her room...
"Hahahaha yaani aag donow taraf lagi hui hai!! phir bhi hum mirchi sirf ek he side pe daal rahe thai!! not fair!!" He giggled over his thought... "Ab jab tak Maan ata hai aur main usse yeh goody good news deta hun!!Tab tak kyun na thoda mirchi powder iss bharakti hui agg main bhi daala jaye???" He smirked... "Maza ajayega!!!" Rubbing his hands together while winking at Mini who was quietly sitting on a corner looking at Sid...
...
"Geet ko pick kar leyna time pe aur phir usse wahan le jaane se pehle thoda time dena so that wo ek baar apne app ko prepare karle presentation k liye sukoon se..." Abhi guided Maan on the phone...
"Kitn bajay a rahi hai??" He asked with an arched eyebrow... "Aur Geet kyun arahi hai??? Mujhe laga tha tum khud aoge ya Rohail ko bhejo gay..." He frowned...
"Ajeeb pagal insaan ho... mujhe thanks kehne k bajaye gussa kar rahe ho.." Abhi snored...
"Pagal main nahi tum ho gaye ho!! Kisi ladke ko bhejna tha naa... mere ane jane k time ka kuch pata nahi hota hai, mein iss condition mein nahi hun k kisi ko bhi apne saath sambhalta phirun... Oppar se sone pe suhaaga tum logon ne Geet ko bhej diya..." He clentched his jaws...
"Ab to bhej diya naa?? Now deal with it.." Abhi raised his shoulders carelessly... "Aur main bhi aoonga lekin 2 din baad... tab tak enjoy.." He laughed...
"Bharr mein jao tum sab... Time kya hai uske anne ka??" He rubbed his hairs with frustration...
"Subha 4 bajay tak pohunch jayegi train..." Abhi smiled...
"Huhhh..." He led out a deep breath and then said.. "Mujhe call kar k utha dena aur tab tak call karte rehna jab tak answer na kardun.. nOW bYE!!!" Before Abhi could react, he ended the call...
"Ajeeb paglon wali harkatein hogai hain isski... " Abhi shook his head while keeping his mobile aside...
"Tum soye nahi abhi tak???" Nikki got surprised to see him still up... He looked tired when he returned and she thought he will drift off to sleep early...
"Yaar please ek kaam kardo gii??" He requested...
"Kya??" She arched her eyebrow...
"3:30 call kar k iss pagal ko utha dena yaad se..." He made a face which made he laugh...
"Maan ko??" She conformed...
"Haan!! Ajeeb pagal insaan hai... harkatein bataoon iski to sar peet lo tum..."
"Hahahaha!!" She laughed even more when Abhi told her more but then agreed to call and wake him up...
It was hot and so he used to get out of the cottage and sleep on the rock near the waterfall in his sleeping bag... Though it was loud there.. the sound of waterfall and drops of water do land on him plus it was dangerous there aswell but still it brings peace inside him and the surrounding feels too cool and calm.. He just loves it in sleeping there under the open sky with pure nature around him free from all tensions and worries like a small baby...
His phone rang and rang again near his ear which he finally picked up after sometime...
"Hello???" He somehow picked it up still with his eyes closed...
"Hello?? Maan??" Nikki found it too weird on listening loud waterfall sound...
"Hmmm..." He hummed as if announcing yes its me...
"Arre... kya hmmm??? Abhi ne tumhe uthane ko bola tha!! uthooo..." Nikki almost yelled
"So jao yaar..." he said in an irritated voice...
"Maan!! utho aur jao railway station!! Aur yeh paani ki awaaz kesi hai??"She inquired arching her eyebrow...
"Bohat tezz hai!!" He replied while turning his side...
"Tum waqai pagal ho gaye ho!!! Ab utho aur jao... Geet gayab hogai to tumhe yahan koi zinda nahi chodegaa..." She threaten him...
"Kya time ho rah ahai??" He asked in the same sleepy tone...
"Sadhe teen (3:30)... Ab uski train pohuchti hogi... chalo niklo tum!!"
...
Her heart raced as she reached her desired station... Nothing was working now... no words, no promises... that fear was there... she was hell scared of Maan.. "Kaanp kyun rahi hun?? darna nahi hai!! come on yaar! you are strong enough to handle this..." She again told herself... Still shivering a bit, she took her luggage and stepped down from the train..
It wasn't crowdy at all... It was scary as only few people were there, mostly men... She gulped down her salva nervously looking here and there to see if she spots him somewhere... "Very bad decision!! Akele nahi ana tha.." She blabbered scolding herself... "Iss Abhi k bache ko to chodungi nahi!!"
Slowly taking small steps, she started moving towards a side still moving her eyes everywhere... "Ehsaas hona chahiye... akeli hun wo bhi itni raat ko, hadd hoti hai..." She cursed Maan under her breath...
"Hhh, i hope i am on time..." He bit his lower lip while walking inside and spotted her immediately... "Geet!!" He called out her name loudly to seek her attention...
"Thank God!!" She took a breath of relief on spotting him... He was simply dressed in a track suit with his sleeves folded a bit...
"Aap time pe nahi a sakte thai??? jaan nikal di meri..." She just bursted out unintentionally...
"Really??" He arched his eyebrow... "Mujhe 4 baje ka bola gaya tha aur abhi 4 bajne mein poore 10 minute baaki hai!" He said while looking in his watch...
"To?? time agay peeche bhi ho sakta hai..." She huffed...
"Aur phone kyun off tha tumhara??" He glared at her while wrapping his arms against his chest...
"Battery dead ho gai thi..." She made a face...
"Very Good!! Ab pakro phone aur call karo papa ko apne.. pareshaan ho rahe hain kab se.." He said while giving her his phone and carried her bag with himself...
"Inhe dekh kar to..." She scratched her forehead trying to observe if he is angry? if he knows anything...
Dialling Ranbir's number, she just followed him quietly and sat down next to him on the jeep while talking to Ranbir... Putting her bag at the back, he started his jeep and zoomed in...
"Thanks!!" She gave back him his mobile...
"Hmmm..." He nodded in a yes while focusing on the muddy road...
"So... tumhara kisi hotel wagera mein reservation hai ya bus aise he bhej diya un logon ne??" He inquired...
"Kya??? Mujhe nahi pata yeh sab... mujhe achanak se bheja gaya hai!! Abhi ne kaha uski appse baat hogai thii" She was shocked at his question...
"Iss Abhi ki to main..." He shook his head while taking a turn towards an old road...
"Wese... how was your journey??" He asked after sometime...
"Bhayanak!!" She blurted out...
"Kya???" He frowned...
"Mera matlab hai... it was tiring..." She covered up...
"Hmmm..." He pressed his lips together...
"Abhi kahun??? bolun?? nahi... abhi darr lag raha hai... samajh ne nahi arha mujhe..." Looking infront she kept on biting her thumb nervously not paying any attention to what he is doing...
"Ek to itni neend a rahi hai... tauba!!" He opened up his eyes widen to let his sleep fly away...
'Ummm... baat kar k dekhti hun, mood ka to pata chale kuch.." Giving her idea a second thought, she looked at him from the corner of her eye... "Aaa... yahan sab itna sunsaan sa kyun hai??" She questioned out of blue...
"Time dekho aur phir sawal karo... aur wese bhi.. yeh mumbai nahi hai.." He rolled his eyes at this stupid question.. Here he was hell sleepy and her question was an irritating one...
"Sada hua mood hai... koi baat karne ki zaroorat nahi hai... Drive karte hus to bilkul nahi.." She decided...
"Chalo... utro!" He stopped his jeep on a side near some old tuck shop and then asked her to come down along with him... "Yahan rehne ki jagah kahan hai??" She questioned herself while looking all around...
They both started walking on a way covered with dry leaves and flowers with some weird garden sort of areas on sides...
"Yeh hum kahan ja rahe hain??" She couldn't stop herself from asking question...
"Tumhara murder karne le ja raha hun!! jahan tumhare cheekne chillane se kisi k kaanow ko koi nuksaan na pohche..."He taunted...
"Ufff..." She folded her arms against her chest while gritting her teeth...
Soon after five minutes walk, they were in front of his cottage which was one of its own kind around an area which was surrounded with only trees and flowers.. like a jungle area! sound of waterfall can be easily heard.. She was loving the area!!
She was still looking all around while he opened the door and went inside, the sky started turning darkblue from black indication about the morning already...
Keeping hewr bag on the table he turned to talkk to her.. "Geet!!"
"Yeh ladki!!" He hit his head against his palm on not finding her behind him...
"Koi jinga lala hu utha k legaya to mein dekhta he reh jaoonga!! andar chalo.." He dragged her inside..
"Arre.." Her eyes came out with his sudden appearence...
"Arre na warre... chalo andar aur ja k so jao... Mujhe bohat neend a rahi hai!! Aur tum meri neend kharab karne mein hatim ho!! chalo andar.." It was more like a warning after which he almost dragged her inside...
"Wahan!! uss room mein ja k so jao..." He pointed on a side while locking up the main door...
"Aur mujhe bhi sone do..." He fall down flat on the sofa and covering his face with the pillow immediately drifted off to sleep...
"Ajeeb insaan hai!!" she clentched her jaws but she was sleepy too and right now he wasn't scary at all which made her calm down quick and she went to sleep...
It was about 11 when she woke up lazily... Taking a bath, she got dressed and got ready for the upcoming horrible day... She has to tell him the truth today whether he know it or not... Looking herself for the last time in the mirror, she took a deep breath and then got out of ther room only to find him on the dining table busy in talking with someone on the phone...
"Zyaada bakwaas nahi karna mujhse... jitna keh raha hun utna karo.." He blasted at someone...
"What late?? pichli do raaton se soya nahi hun main... ajj thoda sukoon se late gaya to uss mein bhi problem hai tum sab ko... " He gritted his teeth...
"Bhaar mein jao tum sab!!! Filhal mujhe sukoon se naashta karne do, phir ajoonga!" He put the phone down immediately after it and started applying butter on the toast... "Pata nahi kya samajh k rakha hai mujhe... kum se kum mujhse related cheez to batao mujhe lekin nahi!! sab khud handle karenge aur jab baat haath se ikal jayegi to phir mere sir pe bomb phorenge!!! usske baad wo ghissi pitti line tum gussa kyun ho rahe ho??? GUSSA NAHI KARUN TO KYA SHABAASHI DUN??? IDIOTS!!" He blabbered...
"Ahem!!" She got scared again seeing him in this so not good mood and slowly walked up to him... "All okay??" She managed to ask gulping down the lump formed inside her throat...
"Haan!!" He tried to be normal with her... "Tum naashta karlo aur phir apne presentation pe kaam karti raho... i'll pick you up at 2 and then drop you there... Phir wahan se farigh hoke mujhe call kardena.. okay?" He told her the plan quickly while getting up from the chair...
"A...Maan!! Aap bohat busy dikh rahe hain lekin mujhe kuch baat karni thi.." She bit her lower lip nervously... "Kuch batana tha..."
"Yaar... mera dimagh already iss waqt bohat ghooma hua hai!! Aur nahi ghoomana hai mujhe... Hum raat mein baat karenge jo bhi hai!" He almost chewed his words... "Main nikalta hun mujhelate ho raha hai... aur haan!! darna nahi.. " He added a warning and walked out of the cottage...
"Meri poori jaan nikal k darna nahi!!" She huffed... "Main kese bataoongi in ko sab kuch?? Sab ko gusse mein he kyun hona hai ajkal??" She became irritated...
...
""Damit!!! We are finished..." Dev started sulking with newspaper in his hands...
"Dev!! File complete hui??" Abhi asked while walkin inside Dev's cabin...
"File gayi bharr mein... yeh dekho! ab jab milega naa uss Singhaniya k bache ko award aur wo ayega tumhe apni bateesi dikhane.. phir poochunga!!" Dev snored...
"Khoon nahi jalao tum mera abhi se... Usski beizzati karne jo ek element of sukoon mila hai mujhe... filhaal usse mere andar he rehne do.." Abhi warned...
"Aur jo mere andar se yeh element of sukoon chala gaya hai wo??? Gin gin k badle nikale gaa wo company se... " Dev was actually worried...
"Bola naa filhaal chup raho!!" Abhi glared at him...
"Hello!! mu kyun utra hua hai donow ka??" Rohail wished them as he walked inside...
"Lo.. tumhe bhi parh k Abhi wala element of sukoon mile ga!!" Dev flew the newspaper towards Rohail...
...
"Ladki aur naukri!!! They are such a pain!!" Maan cried while massaging his back... "Wo ek manhoos raat!! aur uska yeh bhugtaan ajj tak bhugat raha hun..." He closed his eyes...
For don't know how many minutes he was sitting in the same position when his mobile ring brought him out of his trance...
"Hi Ni!!!" He said in a tired voice...
"Don't hi Ni!! Tumne mujhe end time pe ane se mana kyun kar diya??" She sounded angry...
"Ufff... kya bataoon yaar.. ek to uss 'Tom Bangali' ki mail ne wese he dimagh out kiya hua tha aur ooppar se yeh meri pagal paltan!!" He ran down his fingers through his hairs...
"Tom Bangali!! Ussne mail kiya?" Her jaw dropped down "Wo bhi tumhe?? kya?? aur kyun???" Nidhi's eyes widen up...
"wo choro... filhaal problem yeh hai k company bachane k chakkar mein maine ek bohat badi affat ko apne gale dall liya hai! Mujhe lagta tha deal final karne Rohail ya Abhi main se koi ek ayega! Apna kaam karega aur nikal jayega..." He sighed...
"So???" sHE ARCHED HER EYEBROW...
"So??? so yeh k un paglon ne Geet ko yahan bhej diya hai!! Isiliye tumhe yahan immediately ane se roka maine... Ab yeh yahan se jayegi to tum aogi... bohat problem hogaya hai!!" He made a face...
"Don't tell me wo tumhare saath, tumhare cottage mein hai!!" Nidhi's eyes widen up...
"Okay!! i won't telll you!!" He took a deep breath...
"Hogaya beda ghark!! ab tum mujhe naa uske jaane k baad he call karna... bye!!" Before she could hear any more bad news she ended the call...
"Bus beta Maan!! Teri jab lagti hai to phir theek thaak lagti hai" He shook his head...
"How was it??" He asked as she came and sat down in his jeep next to him after her presentation was over...
"It was fab!!" She was so happy at the moment that no other thought was there in her mind...
"Ahan!! Good!!" He passed a light smile to her started the jeep...
"Main thuk gayi!! Aur pata hai?? end time pe mera laptop ka charger jawab de gaya tha... Thank God presentation hoai.. lekin ab agaya kya karun??" SHe pouted...
"Laptop kesa hai tumhara dikhao..." He asked her to show her laptop...
"Yeh..." She showed him while taking it out from the bag...
"Haan!! iss pe lag jayega mera charger... Mere room mein pada hoga charger aur laptop to tum connect kar k dekh leyna.." He said and then stopped the car...
"Aapp wapas ja rahe hain??" She asked...
"I have no choice.." He sighed to which she nodded and getting out of the car started walking towards the cottage...
...
Getting inside his room, she took the charger and also found an internet USB... "Great! yehi chahiye thi mujhe..." She smiled and taking it out connected with her laptop but it required password..
"Oho!! ab kya??" She scratched her head... "Abhi to theek lag rahe thai naa?? ab call karti hun..." She dialled Maan again...
"Kya hua?? all okay??" she heard him immediately...
"Haan haan sab theek hai! uhh wo... actually mujhe internet access chahiye tha aur password???" She pressed her lips together..
"Yaar password wagera nahi yaad hai mujhe... tum ek kaam karo, mere laptop ka password message karta hun usspe characters visible kar k dekh lo.." He gave her a solution and ended the call...
After two minutes she was successful in connecting her lappy with the internet..."Hhh ab issko bund kar deti hun..." She was about to close Maan's laptop when by mistake his minimized internet browser opened up in front of her displaying her Samrat and Her all photographs...
"Yeh..." Her mouth hung up and the wind of fear again hit her from a new end... It was like her breath got stuck seeing all that... "No!!!" Tears started make way out of her eyes...
His behaviour since morning started revolving around her eyes making her heart beat rise... "Maan ne... yeh sab.." Her breath hitched and she started sweating... With a thud she closed the screen of his laptop and ran outside towards her room...
"Nahi!!! main kya karungi abb??? kisko kya samjahoongi? ghar pe sab log!!" She started feeling cold... her cries were now truning in hiccups... "Maan ko sach main lagta hai k mere aur samrat k beech kuch?? How can he even think like that??" She started crying more and more... She was deeply hurt with Maan and scared too..
"Tumhe pata chalega k wo tumhara saath nibhaane k laiq hai bhi ya nahi... Aur agar nahi hai, to aise aadmi se shaadi kar k kya faida??" A shiver ran down her spine as Vikas's words hit her...
"Nahi!!! Main yeh rishta nahi kho sakti... Wo saath na bhi dein tab bhi main unhe apni baat ka yaqeen dilane pe majboor hun!! Mujhe Maan k shuk ko door karna hoga... " She felt helpless against her heart...
...
It was about 10 when he came back to his cottage... Closing the door behind and locking it up, he took a deep breath and fell on the sofa kept in the hall... Closing his eyes, he rested his head at the back and then got up from the sofa after sometime... "Yeh kahan gayi?? so gayi kya??" He questioned himself while looking all around...
"Acha hua so gayi!!" He took a breath of relief... "Bhook lagi hai yaar.." He moved towards the kitchen while rubbing his empty stomach...
"Hmmm... Apple acha hai!" After thinking for few minutes what to eat, he took an apple from the basket and took a bite of it, meanwhile he started cutting mangoes to eat further...
"Chaloji... ab apna boriya bister pakro aur peeche niklo..." He told himself while taking steps towards his room when he heard her... "Apko sach mein lagta hai mera aur samrat ka affair chal raha hai??"
He stood still on his spot taking a deep breath, Anger gushed inside him. Turning to her, he looked at her from bottom to top.. her eyes were red and looked puffy, she was shaking...
He looked in her eyes straight and walked forward slowly to approach her... She stepped back, she was scared..."Mujhe lagta nahi hai... Mujhe pata hai!!" His glary gaze twisted her soul... A tear dropped down her cheek, she was utterly shocked..
He took one more step ahead closing all the distance between them almost pinning her into the wall..."Trust me! Tum chaho bhi to mujhe cheat nahi kar sakti!!" He whispered near her ear making her tremble and moved his face away a bit... She lifted up her eyes to look at his face where anger was visible... This made her even more confuse...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai Geet?? Jahil! Shakki!! Gawar kism ka insaan hun?? Tumhe jaanta nahi hun mein?? pehchanta nahi hun??" He questioned with a serious look on his face...
"Mujhe tum par aur samrat par shuk karna hota yeh kahani ussi din khatam hogai hoti jis din university mein wo dare wala scene hua tha!!" He gritted his teeth as his anger made way down him..."You have any idea? wo photographs ghar tak pohunch jati to kya hota?? kis kis ko explanation deti phirti tum??" He yelled...
"Mujhe nahi pata tha unke baare mein kuch bhi..." She tried to explain... her tears were not stopping...
"Really??" He arched his eyebrow... "Koi tumhe stalk kar raha hai!! aur tumhe iss baat ki bhanak bhi nahi lagi!!" He was sarcastic... "I thought tum ladkiyun mein yeh sense bohat strong hoti hai!! koi 200 ft ki doori se bhi tumhe ghoore to tum logon ko ehsaas ho jata hai!! Aur yahan to photographs khich rahin thi... kese??? kese maan lun k tumhe ehsaas tak nahi hua???" He questioned while glaring at her...
She went speechless for a moment... ofcourse she used to have doubts as someone is following her but she ignored them everytime.. "Main tumse choti choti cheezein poochta nahi lekin iss ka matlab yeh hargiz nahi hai k tum mujhse iss kism ki badi badi baatein bhi discuss na karo..." He was on fire at the moment...
"Tumhe kya lagta hai?? yahan hota nahi hun to kuch pata nahi hota mujhe tumhare baare mein??" He questioned...
"Wahan beth kar yahan hone wali har baat app nahi samajh sakte..." A tear escaped her eye as she whispered on his face...
"Great!! Tab to baat karne ka faida he nahi... Already decide kar liya hai tumne sab apni taraf se..." He moved back with a frustrated look on his face...
"Geet!!! Maine tumhe phone kiya tha!!" He chewed his words... "Ek baar nahi... kai baar!! baar baar poocha, kuch batana chahti ho?? yeh soch kar k kabhi na kabhi to tum mujhse kuch kaho gii!! Lekin nahi... Tumne kuch nahi kaha... tumhe apni har problem ko khud deal karna tha! fine... Then go and deal with it..." He yelled at the end...
"Main kya batati?? Mujhe khud wo photographs kal mile... Main aur Samrat..." She left her sentence incomplete...
"Tum aur Samrat kya???" He shouted... "Tum aur Samrat kuch nahi! infact uss bechare ko to pata bhi nahi hai k usske saath kya hua hai... Iss poori cheez mein koi ek innocent hai to wo Samrat hai!!" He defended him...
Her eyes narrowed listening this from him "What?? to apko kya lagta hai? sab meri ghalti hai??" She was hurt...
"Tumhari ghalti nahi hai!! Tumhari bewaqoofi hai... Un pictures mein Samrat haina tumhare saath?? to phir khud to wo photographs khech nahi sakta... Aur wese bhi, yeh pictures to according to you tumhe kal mile haina??? lekin usse pehle jo kuch ho raha tha uska kya??? Wo sab mujhe batana zaroori nahi samjha tumne??" He clentched his jaws...
"Kya batana zaroori nahi samjha?? Aap ko agar yeh sab already pata hai to aur kya janna chahte thai app?? Kya sunna chahte thai mujhse??" She got hyper..
"Yehi k tum Ajay Singhaniya ko kese jaanti ho?? Kyun wo tumhare peeche pada hai?" He bursted out and she became numb... "Tumhe nahi lagta i have right to know all this?? ya tum wait kar rahi thi k wo tumhe sab k saamne tamasha bana k pesh kare???" His eyes became red with anger...
"Main..." She was dumb stuck...
"Ya to tum meri life mein ati nahi... Aur ab jab i ho to tum apni marzi se i ho, kisi ne force nahi kiya tha tumhe..." He peeved... "Ek baat achi tarah se jaan lo aur samajh lo k ab Tum ya Tum se judi koi bhi baat, donow mujhse judi hain!! Mujhe effect karti hain... Past mein tumhare 10-12 affairs bhi hote naa to unse mujhe koi farq nahi parne wala tha... As soon as you entered my life, You became MINE!!" He held her by her shoulders possessively...
"Singhaniya ka to jo mujhe karna hai mein karunga!! Usse koi bacha nahi sakta ab mujhse... Lekin yeh sab mein tumse sunna chahta tha!! Par shayad tumne uski zaroorat he mehsoos nahi ki..." He passed her a disappointing look and stepped back...
She was shocked, surprised, relieved, happy, sad and all at the same time... It took her sometime to actually believe what all he just said and in the mean time he marched out from the back door towards the waterfall area...
He needed to calm himself down after that outburst... Putting his legs into the water, her sat down on the rock... He was actually feeling really light after whatever happened or else since passed 3 days after he saw that mail he was on fire...
Yes, Aliya did deleted the mail but that consist of only one picture.. later 3 days back, her got another mail in which not one but many pictures were there... He didn't burnt up on them but on the email ID he saw... It was same who mailed Akshay about him having affairs and all... He already found out about Singhaniya behind the email address long time back but was quiet thinking will deal later with it as he had more important thing to look at...
What disturbed him is the connection between Geet and Ajay, he was unaware about... And even if this was not enough, he called her to know everythin and there she denied having any problem which added fuel to fire making him angry on her... He didn't wanted the matter to be public... It was between them only and so he didn't say a word to her knowing she will end up crying and won't listen the full thing as per her nature and at the end of the day everything will get disclosed in front of the whole family which will again be a trouble for her only... He didn't even wanted Vikas or Piya to be a part of it and so he controlled his temper...
Moving his legs tro and fro in the water, he kept on glancing at the waterfall... He was in some really deep thought when he felt her join in... Putting her legs inside water, she sat down right next to him staring at the whole view... "I am sorry!!" He heard her...
Turning his face towards her, he found her looking at the waterfall intently... "Main bohat confused thi... mujhe samajh nahi aya jo mein mehsoos kar rahi thi mera weham tha aur bus aise he..."She sighed... "Papa ya kisi ko yeh soch kar nahi bataya k shayad wo yeh sochein k mein bohat unprofessional tareeqe se behave kar rahi hun... aur app!! App ko batana chahti thi... par darr lag raha tha..."
"Main kha jata naa..." He taunted in his usual way...
"Pata nahi... bus mein yeh kehna chahti hun k main app he ko batana chahti thi... bohat baar koshish bhi ki... par jese har baar zabaan ko taala lag jata tha.." She opened up her heart... "Phone pe.. pata app iss baat ko kese leyte.."
"Abhi bhi milne k liye kaha naa tumne... tab bhi keh sakti thi, tum achi tarah se jaanti ho mera ana jana kabhi bhi ho jata hai..." He was in no mood to listen any stupid excuses...
"Jhoot nahi kahungi... mein kisi bhi baat k liye sure nahi thi! Mujhe laga office mein bhi jo kuch ghalat ho raha hai meri wajah se hai... darr gayi thi..." She confessed...
"Tum kisi TV drame ki heroin ho jo tumhari wajah se sab sahi ghalat ho raha hai??" He arched his eyebrow at her while taking out his legs from the water and folding them...
"Aur abhi yahan mere saat darr nahi lag raha?? Yahan to pohunch mein bhi ho... koi bachane wala nahi hai tumhe..." He shook his head...
"Yehi to khass baat hai!! saamne darr nahi lagta mujhe..." She replied back softly hiding her smile which made him laugh..."Ek he peice ho tum bhi..." He shook his head and lied down flat on the rock...
"You see! i am quite possessive about my belongings..." He took her hand in his which made her move back a bit and lie down next to him... "Tumhara kisi bhi tarah ka koi tamasha bane ya koi tumne ungli uthaye... mujhe bardaasht nahi!!" He said while keeping her hand near his heart...
"Ajay ka ek baar rishta aya tha mere liye.. appse pehle! Mujhe parhna tha, i rejected topic close... Ab jab wo office aya aur jis tarah se mujhse..." She felt a bit uneasy when it comes to explain himm the thing... "Bus mujhe acha nahi laga... lekin Additi ya kisi ne bhi kuch weird mehsoos nahi kiya warna wo mujhse poochte to sahi... mujhe laga mera weham hai!!"
"Tum wehmi ho?? tumhe kyun laga yeh sirf wehem hai??" He turned on his side towards her... "Kyunki mein office k kisi kaam se mein jab bhi samrat k saath bahar jati thi mujhe shuru mein laga k shayad koi peeche kar traha hai... par wahan koi nahi hota tha.. Samrat ko bhi kabhi koi nahi dikha... bus isiliye meine wehem samajh k jhitak diya iss khayal ko... aur..huhhh..." She took a deep breath...
"Phir wese bhi ghar mein itne time baad sab masti mazak mein busy thai... Yeh sab baatein sochne ka mujhe time he nahi mila... office he itna zeher lagne laga tha.. Aur ajay se to mujhe wese bhi khass kism ki nafrat hai!! kyun sochti uske baare mein main??" She pouted...
"Bilkul bilkul..." He smiled teasing her...
"Aurr... appko yeh sab kese pata hai?? wo pictures appko kisne mail kii??" She became serious...
"Lo... itni deir se kya main bakwaas kar raha hun??" He hit his head against his palm... "Pagla gaya hai wo tumhare peeche... Yeh saara khel Mr Singhaniya ka hai madam!!"
"Lekin meine kiya kyahai?? baat bhi nahi hui kabhi meri usse..." She again became worried...
"Wo pshycho case hai chor do usse... Usske Dimagh seedhe karta hun abhi main..." He made a face...
"Aur oppar se Abhi, Dev, Rohail k jhagre ne aur dara diya tha mujhe... mujhe kya pata tha wo teenow natak kar rahe hain??" She complaint...
"Hehehe!! unko mere against koi bharkane ki koshish karega aur wo bharak jaenge?? tch! Imossible!" He smiled...
"Aur agar apko koi mere against bharkane ki koshish kare to??"she asked innocently..
"Bharak gaya mein??" He asked relating to recent incident...
"Nahi!!" She shook her head in a no while staring up in the sky.. She was feeling damn light tonight... His confession of emotions about her made her feel she was on cloud 9 tonight... Somewhere it was also the effect of his beautiful surrounding around them... Her eyes got a bit heavy and soon she drifted off to sleep...
"Tumhe yaad hai..." He spoke out still looking up at the sky after a silence of few minutes... He truned his face to look at her but found her sleeping peacefully...
"Hmmm..." He took a deep breath while looking at her angelic face and then closing his eyes too drifted to sleep in the same position...
She stirred in her sleep to find a confortable position and some softness under her head which made her shift upto his shoulder... he was not in some deep sleep and so the movement made him open up his eyes... He smiled at her frowing face and shifted her in his arms wheras her head was now over his chest...
...
He woke up at about 4 again as his left hand hit a sharp stone on the rock... He looked at his watch and then realised where they both were... He was about to wake her up so that they can go inside and sleep peacefully but her sleeping face caught his attention... Leaning over her, he kissed her forehead and moved away her hairs though his finger which were falling on her face..
"Busss!! Ab yeh mujhe meri life mein chahiye..." He decided... It just came out straight from his heart that he now wants to see her face everyday in the morning when he opens his eyes and everynight when he closes them... This girl has driven him crazy since passed few days and now the desire to make her his just filled up in his heart... He himself discovered just few days back that how possessive he is about her... Again a single tear dropped down his eyes... "Tum wahan pohunch gayi ho jahan main nahi chahta thak shaadi se pehle tum pohcho... Tumhe paane ki chahat din ba din ghar kiye ja rahi hai mere dill mein" He whispered...
The sky turned dark blue from the black warning him to take her inside now as it was already morning and even he can see some chances of rainfall "Geet!!" He tried to wake her up...
She woke up slowly, took aminute to open her eyes properly and then jumped up... "Hum saari raat yahin par thai??" Her eyes came out making him smile at her...
"Haan!! Ab andar chal k so jayen??" He asked to which she nodded... He got up straighten his sirt and waited for her to get up on her feet... She was in a simple churidaar suit at the moment... she too got up and was straiten her shirt when a bug fall down of it and landed on her feet...
"Ahhh!!" She jumped like a kid several times and before he could react she was in the water..
"Hahahaha!!!" He laughed at her...
"Arghhh..." she glared at him from the lake...
"Tumhe uthte he nahane ka itna shawk hai??" He teased her...
"Mujhe bahar nikalna hai yahan se..." She glared at him...
"Aise to tum bahar nikalne se rahi... wo seedhiyaan dikh rahi hain wahan..." He pointed far away on the right side where stairs were there to got inside the water and get out from there...
"Itna doorr..." She cried to which he nodded and started walking on the rocks whereas she walked inside the water...
It started raining already and she was near the waterfall in the lake which made it difficult to take care of herself.. He didn't wanted that but still he got inside the water to take her out... "Idhar!!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her away from the waterfall.. now she was rubbing her face with her palms to clear the water drops so that she'll be able to open up her eyes... He ran his fingers through his wet hairs and looked at her who was still struggling with herself... His gaze stopped at her, her dress was sticking to her fragile figure showing her each and every curve and with her irritated face she was looking damn cute.. he stepped forward still in the water and stood behind her...
Tu meri neendo me sota hai
Tu mere ashqo mein rota hai
Sargoshi si hai khayalon mein
Tu na ho, phir bhi tu hota hai
"Uhh!!" With an irrtated face, she tried to rub her hairs to let the extra water pour out when he felt him really close to her near her neck... Wrapping his arm around her from the back he pull her closer to him making her breath hitch... Kneeling down his face on the crook of her neck, he traced his cold lips upward on her neckline which made her tremble and and walk out hesitantly but he was quick to pull her back... she time she landed up on his chest... resting her back on him, she took a deep breath trying to control the emotions that has arisen, his touch was so overpowering that she was just melting in it... He traced her one arm with his making those goosebumps again pop out... she shivered, feeling abit shy and not been able to take it any more just turned around and hugged him tight...
Wrapping his arms around her he held her tight against his body... This was not in his hands anymore... It was just happening, he wasn't thinking about anything at the moment... He parted her slowly, her eyes were closed. He held her chin and lifted her face up... It was still raining and the water drops were not letting her open her eyes properly...
Hai sila.. tu mere dard ka
Mere dil ki duaayein hain..
He covered her face with his and pulled her face towards his a little more... His lips came close to her making her shiver.. She closed her eyes tightly and he saw her lips trembling with anticipation... He smiled at it and moving ahead, kissed her cheek... "Will you regret it ever??" He whispered...
Teri galiyan... galliyan teri, galliyan..
Mujhko bhaavein galiyan, teri galiyan
Teri galiyan...galiyaan teri, galliyan..
Yuhin tadpaavein, galliyan teri, galliyan..
Her eyes were still closed but her grip over his shirt got tighter... Assuming it as her positive response, he placed his lips over hers and kissed her slowly without even thinking further for a second... It was so magical all around, neigther it was morning nor it was night, They were in the middle of the lake under the rain and waterfall on the side... Only sound of waterfall can be heard... It was their moment!! Their very own moment which was going to be the most memorable one of their lives... More like a fantacy they could wish for ever...
"Ruk main sakta nahi hun kisi bhi haal mein... so mujhe to jana padega, lekin tum tayyar rehna! I'll pick you up by 1 phir dekhte hain kya karna hai..." He smiled at her while taking a bite of his apple...
"Wese.. app jab bhi yahan taya hain, yahin therte hain??" She further asked...
"Hotel arrange karti thi company shuru mein to.. lekin phir i discovered this aur hotel se to sasta he hai so, yes!! Company ko bhi koi problem nahi tha aur mujhe bhi bohat pasand hai yeh jagah so... here i am!!" He chuckled and got up to go...
"Arre haan!! Abhi kab araha hai??" He asked...
"Kal!! App he ne le kar ana haina!!" She teased him...
"Yeah Right!!" He rolled his eyes and went out waving a bye to her...
...
"Pata nahi Geet ne Maan ko call kar k kuch batay bhi tha ya nahi!!" Vikas thought while checking some random stuff on piya's phone... "Ek to yaar... aise itne chakkar lagte hain iss ke aur ab zaroorat hai k ek chakkar nahi lag raha..." He huffed...
"Bhaiya!!" He turned his face to look at the door from where Nandini just entered... "Yeh kholiye please.." She handed him a jar which was tightly capped...
"Kya bana rahi ho tum??" He asked...
"Kuch nahi..." She said while picking Aadi up in her arms...
"Uhhh..." Aadi made a face and grabbing her hairs pulled them out...
"Ouch!! ek to yeh appka beta!! mere baal..." Nandini cried with pain...
"Jab pata hai usse tumhare baal itne pasand hain to bacha k rakhne chahiye naa..." He chuckled...
"Aap naa bus rehne he dijye..." She pouted while putting Adi back on the bed... "Wese shaadi k kapre to laye haina??" She asked...
"Arre yaar... Mujhe thodi pata tha mujhe yahan yeh sab functions bhi attend karne padenge... kuch nahi laaya main aisa wesa..." He made a face...
"Shopping!!!" Nandini clapped...
"Oye! beth jao chup chap!! koi shopping wopping nahi ho rahi hai!!" he put water on all her excitement..
"To phir kya karenge???" She asked...
"Bola hai maine kisi ko... hopefully function se pehle uska koi chakkar lag jaye aur kapre a jaen.." He replied back...
"Bhabhi!! Aap kya pehnne wali hain??" Nandini asked Piya who just came out of the washroom while rubbing her wet hairs...
"Kahan??" Piya passed a confused look...
"Arre wo jo shaadi mein jaan hai!!" Nandini reminded her... It was some relatives wedding of Malhotras...
"Yaar mein ek sarre to iss tarah ki le kar i thi... Ab ya to humara bag time pe ajaye ya phir borrow karlungi kisi se kuch..." Piya replied carelessly...
"Aap donow he shopping se bhaagte ho kya??" Nandini narrowed her eyes...

"Yeh bhi set hai!!" Nandini giggled...
"Arre kya yaar..." Vikas made a face.. "Wo... Akshay Uncle ki anniversary party kab hai??" He asked...
"Wo to ek hafte baad hain.. usse kya karna hai appne??" She asked with a confused look...
"Arre tumhare jiju se jo milna hai!! Main bhi to dekhun kitne paani mein hai!!" He smirked...
"Hahahaha!!!" Acha mein yeh neeche de kar ati hun!!" She took away the jar which Vikas opened up and went out...
"Shaadi to uske baad haina?? To Maan le he ayega sab samaan!!" Piya calculated mentally...
"Ayega to... but i hope Geet ki Maan se uss baare mein baat hogai ho... " Vikas sighed...
"Hmmm..." Piya pressed her lips together...

Kaisa hai, rishta tera mera
Bechehra, phir bhi kitna gehara
Yeh lamhe, lamhe yeh resham se
Kho jaaye, khona jaye hum se
Kaafila, waqt ka
Rok le.. Ab dil se juda na ho
As per his promise he was back by 1 and this was their time to go out and spend some quality time together... He took her out all the way to coorg places she would loved to see, greenry, mountains all around... Since rainfall took place in the morning, so it was not very hot today... It was nice a weather...
"Are you made?? Tum log sach mein iss kism ki harkatein karte ho??" Maan was astonoished on few things Geet's just told him about her and Nandini...
"To?? Har kisi ka enjoy karne ka apna tareeka hota hai!!" She raised her shoulders carelessly and took a bite of maize..
"Haan!! Infact mujhe lagta hai uss bhutte wale ki kamai ka asal zariyaan tumhi donow hogi.." He shook his head...
"Haan to!! wo to obvious haina!!" She giggled...
"Wese... yahan kitne din hain app??" She inquired...
"Depends yaar... wese bhi yahan se wapas mumbai he pohunchna hai maine.." He pressed his lips together...
"Acha mujhe yeh to batao k... Tum yahan kese pohunch gayi?? i mean mujhe laga tha k Rohail ya Abhi mein se koi ayega..." He asked his long waited important question...
"Arre unke drame he khatam nahi ho rahe... Infact jab mujhe pata chala haina k they were acting, i was terribly shocked.." She shook her head widening her eyes... "Actually yeh urgent tha aur wo donow do din wahan se hill bhi nahi sakte thai!! Maine presentation pe kaam kiya hua tha to mujhe bhej diya!!" She spoke out carelessly...
"Train se.." He rolled his tongue inside..
"Very Funny!!" She smacked him on his shoulder on finding out that he was making fun of her...
Their next plan was to go for a movie which turned out a disaster for Geet as per his previous record, Maan slept in the middle of the movie...
"Movie achi thi naa??" Geet commented in a sarcastic way while walking up to the jeep along with him...
"Bakwaas thi... I just hate fuzul ki love stories... na sar hota hai na pairr.." He was blunt with his opinions...
"Ahan!! Baat to aise kar rahe hain jese k poori movie mein jaag rahe thai..." She narrowed her eyes at him..
"Boring thi jabhi to so gaya!!" He was ready with his justifications...
"Ahhh... Apni ghalti kabhi nahi maante naa??? humesha jawab ready hota hai..." She shook her head while settling down in the jeep...
"Depends!!" He chuckled winking at her and started the jeep... "Aur tum kya itne se mein chilla rahi ho... abhi to dekho ane wale kuch dinow mein, main tumhe kese kese jhatke deta hun!!" She chuckled...
"Please... " She rolled her eyes... "Jo sab se khatarnak jhatka milna tha naa mujhe?? mill chuka hai... Isiliye no chance..."
"Chalo dekh leyte hain!! Tum bhi yahin ho Main bhi yahin hun!!" He smirked and started the jeep...
...
Returning back to the cottage, Geet took a sigh of relief as she was really very tired... He made her walk alot, the whole day... "Tum beth kya gayi ho??? khane peene ka kuch karo... bahar wahar nahi ja raha ab mein..." He spoke out while filling a glass of water for himself...
"How mean!!" She frowned...
"Yeah! that i am... chalo shabaash!! ab utho aur kitchen mein ja k kuch banao..." He patted her shoulder...
"Urghhh..." She smacked back and got up passing a grumpy look to him...
"Aur haan!! wo tasveerein zara idhar de dena!! unka achaar to nahi daalna hai tumhe.." He almost ordered...
"Aap he rakhiye... aur app he achaar bhi daaliye..." She retorted back while opening the door of the room she was staying in...
Teri galliyan..Galliyan teri galliyan..
Mujhko bhave galliyan, teri galliyan
Teri galliyan..Galliyan teri galliyan..
Yuhin tadpave, galiyan teri...Galliyan teri
After the Dinner, a tired Geet retired to sleep feeling the pain in her feet And he asusual took his sleeping bag and went out on the rock... "Ab sab jagah se yeh bhi dhoondni parengi!! uffo ek aur kaam!!" He scowled while tearing all the pictures and throwing them inside the water...
"Khair!! Ab iss Singhaniya k saath face off to banta hai!! Bohat zyaada hogaya iss baar!!" He sighed and closed his eyes recalling their moment, he can feel it again all around him... The place still holds that magic...
Next Morning...
"Oye Hoye!! Tum kaunsa ajeeb o ghareeb karnama anjaam de k yahan underground huewe ho??" Abhi commented as he took him to his cottage...
"Busss... wait he kar raha tha!! Issi waqt tumhara murder karunga aur kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega!!" Arman retorted back while rubbing his hands together...
"Ankhein bund kar k meri biwi ko yaad karo... phir jo marzi aye karo.." Abhi was no less...
"Wo bohat daring kaam hai!! oppar tum jao gay lekin bhoot uska ayega mujhpe humla karne.." He passed a shaky look to Abhi so started laughing on that... "Hahahaha!!! I missed you yaar!! i mean teri harkatein naa..." Abhi shook his head...
"Huhhh... Tumne yaad kiya, main agaya!! Ab dekho new improved harkatein... Tumhare chakke chootne wale hain!!" He grinned...
"Bhagwan bachaye sab ko..." Abhi held his palms together... "Aur haan!! mujhe Thank you to bolo... Poore do din diye maine.."
"Abay Thank You kahe kaa??" He narrowed his eyes... "Khwari karwadi meri achi khassi..." He made a face... how on earth he is gona confess that 'yes! what you did was much needed'
"Khwari k bache!! ehsaan mano mera!! Ehsaan faramosh!!" Abhi snored...
"Hahahaha!!! acha..." He laughed... "Thank you so much Abhimanyu Ji!! Apki wajah se meri life ki saari tension door ho gai!!"
"Hhehe... acha ab... chalna kab hai??" Abhi asked...
"Tum log beth k apna jo bhi karna hai karo... Main phir... 2 baje ki meeting haina?? to chor dunga tab tak.." He told his planning...
...
"Baapre... tumhe darr nahi laga iss ajeeb o ghareeb insaan k saath yahan poore do din guzarte hue??" Abhi teased Geet...
"Darr??? You have no ideaa about my condition..." Geet showed him eyes...
"Aisa kya kar diya??" Abhi chuckled and next moment he was getting beaten up by Geet from all the fruits present inside the basket on the dining table...
"Tum har baar!! baar baar sabit kar deti ho k tum kitni perfect ho iss champion k liye!!" Abhi commented while catching all the fruits...
Later, Maan came back from his work and dropping them on their desired place, went back... At the end of the day, all work was sorted out and done after which Maan had to drop them back to railway station...
"Aur tum kab tashreef lao gay ??? Mumbai chakkar lagay gaa bhi ya nahi??" Abhi asked...
"Dekhta hun!!" He smiled and bidding bye to them walked out...
" I hope, you are on your way!!" He called someone after stepping out of the railway station...
"Fine!! See you!!" He smiled and ended the call... "SEE YOU!!" He chuckled kicking a stone and jumping over speed breaker started walking towards his jeep...
