😊 Hi Dona.. OS Anjaana " There is always that one person , that will always have your heart. " A shadow was running in darkness of night ,, few sounds nd steps wr chasing that with swords which wr shining in d partial light of moon through trees ,, d whole wood became alive with voices nd rustling of dry leaves . he came out from his tent with a gun in his hand for his protection nd looked around ,, he saw few men with covered faces approached to him ,,the nearer him nd one of them removed his cloth from his face ... Brij handa ... what he was doing here with these goons .. yes goons they all wr looking like goons nd cruelty was clearly visible in their eyes . He scanned all nd gave a hard look to Brij ,, who was lil shocked after seeing him but pretend unaffected ,, raised his hand to stop his other partners . Brij, : we r searching a thief , did u see anyone this side ? Maan: thief ? ,, no i didn't . Brij: what r u doing in this jungle at this hr? Maan: why , this is Govt property nd anyone cn enter here ,, i m camping here . Brij: oh,, any way , be careful ,, this is jungle nd any wild animal cn attack on u ? Maan: i cn protect myself ,, u think for u who cn't even handle a girl of his home nd wasted my time nd money ,, now leave . Brij annoyed: u'll get what u want ,, u too didn't pay me d amount ,which u promised , u too deny for money. Maan: 1st sign , then money ,, MSK believe in fair deal . Brij: brij too know his work well ,, TM u'll get sign keep ready d rest of money. Maan: let's see,, u have only one day nd then police 'll talk to u not me mr brij handa . Maan moved to go in his tent nd brij shouted on others .. dhoondo usse bach ker na jane paye iss jungle se ,, shera se poocho . 1 guy: ab tak to jungle paar kerdiya hoga. Brij: itna aasan nahi hei brij ke aadmi jungle ke charo taraf hein.. yahan se uski parchai bhi bahar nahi jaegi ,, maar ker yahin dafan ker do usse. they left nd Maan entered in his tent , but he got a shock when he saw a shadow behind his tent ,, he rushed out to check with his gun ,, there was a girl bundled on d ground holding d tent bamboo with her one hand ,, her one hand was on her mouth ,, messy hairs ,, cuts nd blood on back nd hand ... who is she ? Q pooped in his mind ,,, she was looking at other side where goons left ,, Maan slowly nearer her bent nd placed his hand on her shoulder ,, she turned with a gasp nd jerk ... fear was visible in her almond eyes ,, bruises on her face wr showing that she struggled for her life nd hiding her from those goons ..But Why? she was looking at him scared ,, he was looking at her confused .. she is Brij sis , then why she is here in this condition ? Why they wanted to kill her ? Maan: tum !!! tum Geet Handa ho na ? Geet : plzz ,, don't kill me ,, plzz don't call them ,,u,,u take that land , i'll sign where do u want , but don't kill me ,, let me live ,, plzz don't call those goon ,,i,i i'll sign d pprs ,, plzz don't kill me ,, p plzz let me go ,,l let me go ,, d o n 't ... she fainted nd fall down on ground in front of him . Maan was shocked listening her plight ,, brij wanted to kill his own sis ,, even she thought that he was also with them ,, Gosh !!! what is all this ? Shocked Maan looked around nd lifted her,, brought her in his tent nd made her lie down on his sleeping bag ,, tied d tent door brought water bottle nd sprinkled some water on Geet's face ,, patted her cheek whispering her name ,, he didn't called her loud fearing that any goon cd be back as brij was saying that his men wr all around ,, this girl safety was his priority ,, though she was thinking him d same .. Brij man , but she cd bcoz he was Anjaan(unknown)to her ,nd so she for him ,, he was hell shocked nd confused with all this fiasco ,,only this girl cd clear d murk ,, he checked her breaths ,, they wr slow , but she was un-concious ,, he tore his shirt nd tied on her wounds which wr bleeding t cut on her arm was deep , when he tied d cloth on that she flinched in pain nd left weak cry nd sat up with a jerk ,, Maan shushed her placing his palm on her mouth . Maan whispered : ssshh,, quiet ,, they cn be around ,, don't make any noise ,, u r safe here ,, i won't harm u ,, trust me . Geet looked at him with wide feared eyes ,, their eyed met trying to read each other emotions ,, something stirred in Maan's heart ,, he averted his gaze , but she was staring at him with Qs . ![]() Next moment they heard a rusting sound of leaves outside ,, she gasped in fear hugged him ,, Maan held her close nd whispered in her ear .. daro nahi ,, mai hoon na ,, they waited silently ,,that may be some wild creature ,, roamed nd went away seeing fire infront of tent . they parted ,, Maan gave her water to drink , sat near her ,, both wr confused nd Geet was still feared nd looking at him now nd then . Maan: wo ku tumhare peeche thy ,,ku marna chahaty hein tumhe ? tum to brij ki bahan ho na ? Geet gulped : tum un logo ke sath nahi ho to kaun ho ? Maan: pahale meri baat ka jawab do , wo sab ku marna chahaty hei tumhe ? Geet: uss zameen ke liye jo tum chahaty ho . Maan confused : lekin wo to kafi din pahale tum bech chuli ho ,, ab to final formalities hein jis per Geet handa , means tumhare sign chahiye ,, mai half payment ker chuka hoon Brij ko . Geet: mujhe nahi pata usne wo zameen kab aur kise bechi ,, mujhe to aaj subah pata chal jab tum ppr per sign ke liye aay. Maan: what ?? , but u r his sis ,if he was selling d land means all d family members knew about it ,, ur parents nd others ,, i don't know much about handas , my munshiji deal with Brij ,, but for final regtd i have to come ,, he was creating fuss for money nd sign so i threatened him nd went to take ur sign , but u know what u did ? i have paid him half of money nd half is due at final rgtd ,, how cn i leave my deal in mid ? it was ur family matter , this land is mine now ,, i have aggri pprs . Geet lost : u all men only run behind money woman nd land ,, u cn cheat nd ruin anyone for ur greed ,, only want to rule others to show ur power ,, all r same ,, selfish nd greedy ,, i don't know u , but i beg of u ,, plzz don't inform Brij about me ,, they'll kill me ,, i'll sign where do u want ,, take that land but let me leave safely from here , plzz ,, let me go from here safely . Maan: humm,, brij's men r all around ,, u cn't go out easily ,, if u trust me ,i'll protect u ,, will u come with me to Amritsar ,, ,, i'll drop u safely where do u want after signing d pprs . Geet: if brij came to u ? Maan: that i'll manage. geet didn't have any option ,, she had to runaway from there safely ,, she cdn't trust this Anjaan man who only interested in land ,, he dealt with Brij nd cd inform him after getting her sign , but before that he cdn't do for his benefit ,, when her own close blood relatives cd cheat her for money nd property , then who was he ? Geet thought to be careful at hr place ,for time being to accept it , later she cd think in peace . Geet accepted Maan demand ,, he relieved nd told her to take rest for some time , then they wd move in wee hrs nd he wd hide her in his jeep ,, Geet agreed looked around nd saw a heap of straw ,, she slowly sat on that nd cuddle up holding her knees nd lie down . Maan: u cn sleep here in sleeping bag . Geet: no,, it's OK , u did a lot for me ,, thanks a lot, i want to go from here ASAP. Maan: i'll drop u , but don't try to run , u'll be in danger . Geet only nodded her head in yes ,, they rest for some time ,, Maan didn't blink for a mnt ,,he didn't trust her ,, she was in fear nd cd run , he thought for both ,, he cd save her from Brij ,nd in return she was ready to sign d pprs ,, he spent lots of money for this land nd as a sharp businessman he won't tolerate any loss ,,he was clear from his side nd want a fair deal ,, someone' s family matters didn't matter to him ,, she was in danger nd want to go away , then she be . After few hr Maan secured his belongings ,, kept in his jeep ,, hide Geet between d back seats ,,folded his tents nd covered her . Maan: Geet remain like this covered till we cross this area , Ok. Geet: humm. They reached Amritsar at his guest house ,, it was still dark ,, Maan opened d house nd they went in ,, he locked d house ,, though Geet was fearing with this unknown man nd place , but she had to take risk . Maan: u r safe here nd cn rest for some time ,, there was WR go nd wash ur face nd hands ,, there is blood all over ,, i'll bandage u later , u need first aid . Geet went in nd cleaned herself ,, her dress was torn from many places nd blood stained ,, how she wd go out in this condition ,, she she look out a small silky pouch which was tied with her salwar's string ,, opened that nd saw ,, there was some money , a chain nd a ring set ,, tears dropped down from her eys ,, those ornaments belonged to her late parents ,, very hardly she was able to get those from her Taiji's cupboard before running away from there. She was all set where she had to go nd whom to contact ,, she was sure that Brij sent her men behind her to search ,, so she had to live under cover for sometime ,, she cdn't go to her home for some time ,, there was only one trusted place for her .. Orphanage where her mom worked ,, d money was sufficient for some days ,, she need a dress for her , so that she cd go out , but how ? She didn't know anything about this place . Geet hide her pouch back nd come out ,, Maan was talking to someone on phone ,, he was scolding nd ordering to do d work which he said ,, he gave him time to reach with pprs in court . Geet looked at him suspicious . Maan: ow u come ,, sit , i bandage ur wounds ,, ( he opened d 1staid box nd took out an ointment nd gauge ,, he applied med nd wrapped her wounds,, Geet was sitting quietly with lower eyes. Maan: wo ,, we have to go court at 10 am ,, munshiji'll be there keeping all pprs ready ,,we have to only sign them ,, hardly 10 mnt work , then i'll drop u where u want ,, wo ur dress is torn ,nd u need a new one to go out . Geet: humm ,, do u know any shop here from where i cn buy . Maan: i saw few ad of boutique at few homes u cn take from there ,, i'll take u 1st there . Geet: OK ,thanks . Geet was thinking that Maan asked about her to his munshi ji who was in contact with brij for d land deal ,, there was all good chances that he cd tell brij ,, or it cd be a trap ,, she cn't trust any one now . Maan : i don't know much about ur family , but when brij was hurting u like this then why didn't u complaint against him ,,n nd how mean ur parents ,, who allow that man to treat a girl like this ? Why r u bearing all this ,, go nd complaint against domestic voilance ,, u r educated nd have equal rights . Geet coldly: i lost my parents nd darji (Nanu),, i m all alone .. an orphan they all r behind my property. Maan gaped at her ,, her words pained his heart deep ,, he wanted to ask more about her but there was a knock at d door which scared Geet ,, she looked at him fearfully . Maan: daro nahi ,, u go in d room ,, may be it's pantry boy to give coffee ,, go in nd relax . Geet hesitated , but went in d bed room ,, Maan was right it was d boy ,, he placed d tray on table nd looked around . Maan: suno , ek ghante ke baad BF lana for two , OK. Boy: ji saab ,, he looked at room , nd went back ,, Maan didn't like this nd thought that it was batter that he sent Geet in ,, he took d tray nd came in d room where Geet was sitting on bed edge,, listening boy's voice nd Maan's order she was relieved . Maan: have coffee nd take some rest ,, after BF we'll go . Geet took d cup : wo ,, how i go out in open jeep ,, if someone see me nd informed Brij ... Maan: Oh ,, it cn be ,, he thought for a min , nd then called again someone. Maan: hello munshiji ,, sent a car for me for some hrs , in half an hr . Geet was awed seeing his efficiency ,, may be he was very rich nd had good influence ,, she scanned Maan from top to toe when he was talking to phone ,, she find him very handsome ,, richness was visible in his all actions ,, his roughness nd authoritative voice showed that he had a good hold on ppl ,, even he scolded Brij nd warned him ,, brij who think himself a king of his pind . the car was there nd driver informed Maan ,, Maan got ready nd their BF delivered ,, Geet was really feeling hungry nd weak ,, so ate quietly , though she was fearing all d time ,, they came out to go ,, Geet wrapped herself in her dupatta ,, Maan refused to take driver nd told him to wait there ,, ,, with tinted glass d car was safe ,, 1st Maan stopped in a small boutique ,, Geet choose a very simple white dress for her nd tried ,, that was nice nd not so expensive ,, Maan paid nd Geet changed her dress ,, then they went to court ,, Maan straitht way went to particular room where an aged man met with Maan nd handed him a folder ,, he looked at Geet from top to toe which troubled Geet ,, she feared that if this was munshiji then he was deffo in d contact of brij for land deal ,, as Maan Maan said that his munshiji was dealing d land matter ,, d way in which munshiji was looking at her that made Geet suspicious ,, she thought to slipped away fast . there lil away from her Maan nd Minshiji wr talking to each other ,, their talks was not audible to Geet ,, Maan brought d folder to her nd gave her pen to sign at few pgs , nd then thumb impressions ,, munshiji was showing d places to her nd then Maan did d same ,, after this formalities minshiji gave a relieved looke to Maan. Munshiji: choty saab , mai pprs stemp nd sign ke liye submit kerke aata hun ,, d man is waiting there . Maan: OK , go , nd i need a duplicate copy too ,, go do it fast . Maunshi ji went back to a office giving Geet a look ,, Maan too gave a faint smile to Geet . Maan: miss Geet it's done ,, after stamp u cn get a duplicate copy for u nd yes one more thing i forgot ,, Sorry .. plzz wait here , that is with him , i m bringing from munshiji ,, u plzz wait here i m coming back in a mnt,, Ok,, then we'll go . Geet looked blankly at him ,, Maan rushed in d room ,, geet was already scared nd suspicious ,, her work had done nd there was no need of her ,, she got d right chance nd slipped away from there at once ,, all most running she came out from d court nd rushed towards d main road ,, she saw a state roadways bus showed hand to stop nd climb in nd bus moved away ,, she took a ladies seat nd sat ,, her head was still covered ,, she paid nd pray to her babaji to keep her safe . there Maan came out from room nd find Geet missing ,, he looked around , but she was not there ,, he asked about geet to a person who was sitting there nd he replied that d girl had gone . Maan huffed in anger nd disappointment ,, he went in to bring d bag of money nd demand drafts for rest of payment of land from munshiji ,, but she didn't trust him nd runaway ,, he wanted to give that money to Geet bcoz d land belong to her ,, he was angry with Brij nd wanted to teach him a good lesson of cheating nd hurting Geet .,, Maan came out in road looking all around for Geet , but there was no sign of her ,, he was very angry on Geet nd mumbled . Maan: here i was thinking good for her ,, wanted to help her nd drop her safely , but that stupid girl didn't trust him ,, God , plzz keep her safe , she put herself in trouble again moving out alone . He was angry as well as worried for her ,, he understood that she didn't trust him nd runaway after singing d pprs ,,d bag of money was in his hand ,, he thought nd it pained him that in fear she didn't think for money ,, he was Anjaan for her ,, without asking any Q she signed d pprs nd handed him his precious land without taking a penny ,, now that money of her right, became a burden for Maan ,, he cdn't give that to that B****** Brij ,, helplessly he sat in his car nd drove off for guest house ,, make few calls nd left for his home . After a week in beautiful palace like house in Delhi .. A man was doing his exercises nd tai-chi practice ,, his well built sweaty body was shining ,, every move was controlled nd sharp , tight jaw line , tough face , but his eyes wr restless nd sad ,, this was Maan Singh Khurana .. d MD of Khurana constr..KC ,, very capable nd sharp businessmen ,, took charge of MD 2 yrs back after d demises of his parents ,, in these 2 yrs he proved that in business he was one step ahead from his father ,, very practical nd clear in his work ,, never accept defeat nd have a high attitude ,, known for his rough nd cold behaviour ,, remain isolated ,, it was his Mantra that these qualities make ur personality more attractive nd curious . it was a week that he didn't sleep peacefully ,, a face was enduring his mind all d time ,, day went in work , but every night he relived that night with Geet ,, she vanished in thin air dropping a stone in his calm , cool nd still water like life ,, he was restless , worried for her ,, eager to have a glimpse of Geet to assure him that she is fine ,, though he made arrangements to sent Brij jail for cheating him in deal ,, he took his hold on d land nd fixed KC's board there as he had paid a good amount to brij ,, Maan didn't disclose that Geet had sign d pprs , but he was dying to see Geet once ,, she was all alone nd without money ,, Brij's men wr searching her nd he was helpless ,, it pained him that Geet didn't trust him . A shadow passed behind him through d waving curtains ,,a faint chime broke d silence of that area nd thought chain of Maan ,, ,, his heart hopped nd he looked aside , but none was there. ![]() Again same sweet sound of anklets ,, Maan turned nd tried to get d source of that sound ,, he saw a shadow nd moved that side ,, d shadow was also trying to hide nd there was a hide nd seek play ,, Maan was following d sound , but something caught his sight .. an earring stuck in curtain ,, when he took that his breath stuck in his throat nd there was shine in his eyes ,, he became more restless nd confused ,, followed d shadow , nd soon with a quick move he held a hand nd pulled that owner of sound in open ,, his heart was thudding fast seeing her there ,, in front of him after a torturous week ,, her cold hand was in his strong grip nd he was staring at her with countless emotions . So she was ... after a week of hindrance she was again very close to him ,, a fear engulfed her when Geet saw him there in KC ,, many Qs popped in her mind nd she tried to rush away from there ,, she didn't want to come in front of him ,, but he caught her nd again they wr face to face .. both wr staring at each other ,, dono janker bhi Anjaan thy . after assuring each other that they wr really infront of each other Geet looked down ,, her heart was thudding fast ,, Maan took a long breath to absorb her presence close to him ,, she was safe nd she was in KM.. in Km, but how ? Geet : aaappp .. Maan: tum, tum yahan ? ( she didn't reply bcoz she also confused seeing him in KM) Maan: aur .. aur tum uss din esse bhag ku gai ? tumhe pata bhi hei mai kitna pareshaan tha ,, zara sa viswaas nahi kiya mujh per , ek bar nahi socha mujhe kaisa laga hoga tumhe wahan na dekh ker ,, mai tumhari safety ke liye pareshaan tha , tumhari help kerna chahata tha aur tumne zara sa bhi trust nahi kiya ,, tum ku aai esse wahan se ,, tumhe idea bhi hei mai tab se kitna pareshaan hu tumhare liye ,, aur tum yahan kaise ? Geet was staring at him confused listening his non-stop Qs ,, he started like Shatabdi Exp . Maan: ab kuch bologi bhi ,, ya abhi bhi darr rahi ho ? bolo Geet , i m dying to know ,, why did u run away from there nd how u r here? Geet's lips trembled ,, d memories of last one week started flashing in her mind ,, seeing Maan her she was also shocked nd many Qs hit her mind . Maan realised his scared nd confused state bcoz of his outburst nd turned soft ,, he looked at her face ,, she was looking divine in that mrng light ,, open heir flowing in gentle breeze ,, soft smooth silky fair skin ,, trembling pink plummy lips ( his throat turned dry nd gulp hard ),, captivated almond eyes filled with lots of Qs . Geet's state was also same ,, her unknown saviour was close to her ,, his cologne was engulfing her senses ,, his tight grip on her hand was sending ripples in her body ,, his deep honey brown eyes wr captivating her ,, she was staring at him bounded in a spell . ![]() Maan slowly raised his hand nd tucked her loose strands behind her ear ,, saw her ear lob empty ,, smiled nd showed her earring then put that in her lob hole ,, his long warm fingers wr touching her cheek nd ear ,, lost in her serene beauty Maan caressed her cheek slowly ,, which shivered her whole body ,, feeling week on her feet she held him from his vest , nd that touch of her passed a chilled wave through his body ,, that feel was new, special nd pleasurable for him ,, that soothe his aching heart nd calm his restlessness .. he loved that feeling nd desired more nd more ,, he spoke in heavy baritone near her ear , which melted her whole. Maan: Geet , come with me , i have to talk u many things ,, aur haan.. if i committed that i m with u nd protect u , means i'll .. MSK ne ek baar commit ker diya to ker diya ,, samjhi tum ,, dare u try to run away this time . come with me, i need to talk u Geet,, there r many things to tell u nd to ask u ? Geet whispered : M S K .. Maan: no , Maan , call me Maan . he dragged her with him in his room nd made her sit on his bed ,, checked her wounds of arm nd back . Maan: ur wounds r healed well , or not ? Geet nodded in yes with a faint smile , nd Maan smiled ,,knelt near her holding her hands ,, that smile nd hold had many things to clear , there was no need of words nd assurance ,, there was trust , care , love nd commitment . Geet: tum yahan kaise ? Maan smiled: abhi bhi nahi samjhi ,, mai Maan Singh Khurana ,,SD is my DM . Geet gasped nd look at him with wide eyes ,, Maan blinked at her with smile nd pressed her hands to assure her that she was safe nd secure . Maan told her that he sent Brij was behind d bars nd Geet told him that she went to Khurana orphanage nd met with DM for help ( Savitri devi) who knew well her mom,, brij's men wr searching her , so DM brought her here,, they talked for long ,, cleared their doubts ,, there was a contented smile at their faces nd trust in their bright eyes. It's d beginning from an End with an Unknown ... " There is always that one person , that will always have your heart. " |
