****************************************************
Chapter: 2
/FLASHBACK/
"AYUSHMAN", Geet whispered. Turning, towards her Dadi, she said, "Dadi, I want to meet him. I want to thank him.."
Dadi: "Beta, you can thank him, afterwards.. He's not going anywhere. First you take rest. Now I'm not going to let you go anywhere... You just take rest..."
Ge: "But Dadi..", but she was cut off by her Dadu, "She's right, Geet. Take rest, you can meet him afterwards."
She nodded like a obedient child, and soon lost herself in dreamland, but with a unknown man, without a clear face.. Whom she knew as AYUSH...
NEXT MORNING...
After asking the way to Ayushman's house, she proceeded towards it, with a helper cum bodyguard following her. She shakes her head at the way, he's following her while holding an umbrella above her head. She noticed there are very few pakka houses in the village. Apart from her Grandparent's house, there are only one or two houses, made up of proper bricks and cements..
She noticed few men, with guns walking here and there. She couldn't understand the need, of doing the same...
Finally she reached near HIS house.. Well house would be an understatement. This should be called as Haveli, Mansion, or a PALACE.. Her Dadi, did told her that this Ayushman guy is the richest person, in the whole area.. But seeing the size and grandeur of his place, it seems like, he's one of the richest of this state..
Geet lowers her sunglasses on her nose, which she was wearing all the while, and whistled out loudly. "Wooo... Jhakkas..", she said to herself, and laughed along.
Her temporary personal assistant, opens the gate for her, but was soon stopped by few mens holding guns.. But after talking for a while, which Geet didn't bothered to listen, they allowed her in. She went inside, and her mouth fell agape, at the beauty, and richness of the whole place... This man definitely have something... Geet nodded her head admiring a painting. They were told to wait, as he's busy, now. But being her usual self, Geet slipped away from the place, going towards backyard.
She froze at the sight ahead. A man.. Well a very Muscular man to be particular, is practicing Tai-chi, there. But what held Geet there was his semi-naked form, which can put any actor in shame.. His back was facing her, but Geet was shocked to find the tattoo, in his left arm. The same tattoo, which she saw in the arms of... Of Ayush, while he saved her...
So, this is Ayush... Hmm, not bad... The sweat, rolling down his shoulders makes him look extremely sexy... The shining sunlight which is falling in his form, is getting reflected at her face, due to the metallic band in his hand... The hard peculiar smell of his body, has held her captivated. His every posture is making her go weak on her knees. She desperately wanted to see his face. And then he turns for a while, and Geet forgot to breathe. That handsome face of his, with ruffled hairs falling on his face, is no less than a treat to a hungry beggar. Those eyes, with that thick lashes of his. Sharp, and edgy nose, and below, it... That.. That lips of his.. Uff..
Soon, she realizes she's staring at him, and as she moved her head away from his form, she saw few girls hanging on the top of the boundary wall of his house... They are laughing and giggling among themselves, and enjoying the free show ahead. Their open drooling on him, is not liked by Geet... Not a single bit..
She smirked, and went to the other side of the corridor she's standing. His backyard, is a garden type of place, where there are many trees, specially Mango. She picked a small mango, and tossed it in her hands, laughing lightly. She aimed it, to one of the girl, who's holding the other one to balance herself. The girl fell on the other side, taking two others along with her. Their shriek grabbed attention of other girls along with Ayush's. He looked at that direction, only to find the scared girls to jump off the boundary, on the other side, and run off.
Seeing their condition, Geet couldn't control the laughter that erupted from her mouth. But soon was grabbed by a hand and pinned against a wall. The hard body, was pressing itself to her, not letting her move. Her both the hands were locked in a hold above her head. Sunlight is falling on her face directly, that's why she couldn't look at the person properly. She blinks her eyes many times to adjust it to the light. But soon that person's face blocks the light, coming infront of her face.
Geet's eyes widens to find this handsome face so close to hers. His breathe is falling on her face directly, and his effective smell is showing it's effect on her. She looks at his eyes only to lost herself, on his casted spell.
"GEET HANDA. Granddaughter of Mr.Dashrath Handa. New York return. Recent Graduate. Beautiful, crazy, and Idiot at the same time. Drooling over a mere village man... Nah... Not good for her reputation..", his husky, and deep voice broke her reverie, only to grab her in another one..
Ge: "No... Wo.. Actually.. i.. Actually.. its just actually..", she stuttered, while trying to come out of his hold.
Ay: "Is it necessary for you to, start and end your every word with Actually?!?!"
Ge: "NO... Actually..", she bites her tongue, seeing herself repeating the same mistake. Ayush chuckled at her antic. He bends himself on her, and her breathe struck in her lungs. He whispered in her ears huskily, "ACTUALLY... I too found you quite Hot and Sexy.. A bit too much.. Actually.", saying this he planted a kiss on her cheeks, which soon turned bright red and hot at the same time.
He left her, and stepped back, and smirked seeing his effect on her. As soon as Geet gained control over her hyper senses, she quickly, stole a glance of his face, which still holds the smirk, and then she ran off.. Last she heard was his musical laughter..
/FLASHBACK OVER/
Ge: "I couldn't be more happy. He too liked me, and that news is like a boon to me.. I ran off to my house, only to be sleeping with him in my dreams... That was a day, and today was another.. I can't have any sleep, without him in my dreams...", she hides her face in her palms breaking into tears.
Maan looked away. He too has happy days, in his marital life with his 1st wife. But it was always materialistic. There was never love between them. They just lived like a husband and wife, or maybe pretended. But Geet... Geet, loved him.. Her 1st husband, and her words proves it. Maybe more than, she loves him. He knows, she loves him, but not more than Ayush.. Lucky him... Still having her love, even after being Dead..
Ge: "Next few days went like this.. Me stealing his glances, or him doing the same, at every possible place, and every possible meeting. We both tries to meet each other, with some reason or other... He has completed his MBA, from Delhi, but still living in the village, just for his ancestor's legacy, and for the villagers..My respect for me him, increased.. Once, I tried to go to the city, crossing the boundary.. But.."
/FLASHBACK/
A hand grabbed hold of her wrist twisting it on her back. Her front was sticked with another hard form, which turned out to be that of Ayush's.. His angry raging eyes, were spitting fire on her.
Ay: "Where do you think you were going?!?!", he asked angrily..
Ge: "Wo.. Me, actually, to the city.. I have some work there..", she said nervously.
Ay: "Don't you know, there's danger lurking outside the village. My men day and night, stays and secures our boundaries so that no one from our rival village can attack us.. And you?!?! Giving them open chance to come feast on you... Do you know, what would happen, if you step out of the village once.. They won't let you come back here ever. There's a different world outside this village, Geet. If you ever step out of this village, then, that's the end.. They would take you away, from here.. Never to return.", he said every words, grabbing her closer to himself.
Geet looked at him teary eyed, as he left her in a jerk. "Now go, why are you waiting.. Go.. Go.. Where were you going.. Go.."
He turned to leave, while Geet quickly hugged him from his back. "NO... I don't wanna go.. I don't want to go far from you.."
/FLASHBACK OVER/
Ge: "I was afraid of his anger. It was rare for him to get angry, but his anger always use to scare the hell out of me.. Day by day, his every emotion for me was getting stronger and stronger.. No men would look at me, eye to eye, coz Ayush doesn't likes it.. And finally he declared his Love, at a village festival.. It has been 3 mnths, I was staying there and I thought of talking to my parents.. But as there are no networks of mobile there, I called them from my Grandparent's landline.."
Ge: "Ayush comes there , and sees me talking to my parents.. My parents are angry at me, for visiting my grandparents. They were continuously scolding me for my childish behavior. Seeing my teary face, Ayush got angry, and snatches my phone away, and tries to talk to them, where as my parents ridicules him too. I couldn't take that. He angrily tells them, that we both are going to get married, and they need to come there. But instead they got more angry, and warned me, that they'll break all ties with me, if I take this step.. They asked me chose between Ayush and them...*SIGH* My Love overpowered my every decision, and I chose Ayush, and conveyed the same to them.. They banged the phone from other side and I broke into tears.."
/FLASHBACK/
Ay: "You don't have to do this, if you don't want..", saying this he turned to leave. Geet quickly, holds his wrist, and hugged him from behind, "I LOVE YOU.."
His body becomes stiff as response.. He spoke in a very deep baritone, "Geet, think before you say, anything.. Once you get married to me, you'll be MINE. Only and only MINE.. Not even death will take you apart from me.. For every next birth, you'll remain as my Possession.. No one, and I mean it.. No one would ever take you away from me.. My emotions for u will cross the threshold, and I won't be able to hold myself back.. Once you'll be Mine, then no one would ever have any right on you... So, I'll say.. THINK.. Think before you agree on this decision.."
But Geet remained adamant on her decision, "I don't know any other thing. I just want to stay close to you.. I want to marry you.. I LOVE YOU.."
He closed his eyes momenterally and then turned back and hugged her close to himself.
/FLASHBACK OVER/
Ge: "Next we got married according to the customs of the village. My grandparents are more than happy to marry me off with a guy like Ayush. And me.. Well, at that moment no one could have been, as happy as me.. I got married to the Love of my life.. What more could I ask for?? Time passed, and I was happy, with my husband. With his love, his care, his every single emotion for me.. I almost forgot, that there's any world outside the village. All I want is to stay in his arms forever.. I was living a perfect married life. Then, comes the day, when everything changed..."
She takes a deep breathe and continued, "It was the day of our 1st marriage anniversary, I took his car without his permission, and went to surprise him.. Suddenly, a stone comes under the tyre of the car, and it got disbalanced... I never knew when, the car crossed the boundary of the village and I came on the road.. My car soon, got banged with a pole, and I hurt my head in the steering wheel.. i don't know, for how much time I remained there, senseless. When I regained my senses, I somehow, came out of the car, and started searching for the returning path, to the village... I walked for a while and found a Dhabba near road side..."
/FLASHBACK/
After walking an hour, she can see a Dhabba. She probably knew, that she has lost her way back, and hunger has grabbed her strongly, so she decided to grab something to eat, and ask the dhabba person, to tell her the correct way..
She goes to them, and orders for few Bhaji-pakora, and herself went to wash her face. She was served some bhajis in a plate, and a news paper piece below the plate, to hold it, as it was hot. As she removed the news paper from below, her eyes falls on the words written on it..
Her eyes widens, after reading it... "No, this can't happen.. No.. no way..". The news is about a village in Punjab, named Hoshiarpur.. The whole village is set on fire, by the enemies. No one from the village survived, the tragedy. And police officials are still searching for the culprits..
It seems like the ground beneath her leg, has slipped off.. She somehow, controls herself, and ran towards the dhabba owner, asking for a phone to call her family.. Her tear strieked face, her stuttering, and her worried face, is not helping her. Finally the man asked her, "Madamji, what do you want, say properly.."
Ge: "Ph. Pho.. PHONE.. This... This.. My family.. There..", she said all the while showing the newspaper. The man took the news paper from her hand, and his next set of words, shook her entire existence..
Man: "O.. Madamji.. This newspaper is 5 years old.. This tragedy, took place, nearly 5 years, ago.. No one from the village survived.. They have locked each one of them, in their own houses, and set the village on fire.. Each and every one from the village died their only... Some says, their souls are still locked in the perimeter of the village, and always waits for people to come, there.. Some even say, that whoever steps into that village boundary never comes out..You don't need to worry, that's not true.. This all are only superstitions.."
But only Geet knew how much it is superstition...
/FLASHBACK OVER/
Two loud gasps are heard in the room. Neil and Maan couldn't believe their ears, to what they heard.. They don't know, if this is true or not.. Science, doesn't believe in such theories.. But there are something which is beyond the reach of science, which we consider as SUPERSTITION...
**************************************************

Please... PLEASE, for God's sake, don't search any logic here... That's not possible as Science doesn't have proves of such happenings, but there are many such things which exist in the world, which is still unknown to Science...
