Sorry for the delay!
Part 3:
Marriage.
How could he even ask a girl he had kidnapped to marry him? Was this guy in front of him, really out of his mind?
"Mister, mind your words. I am Shashi Gupta's daughter and you can't force me to do anything, I don't want to do" said Geet, in a courage-filled voice which had surely managed to irk Maan further.
Maan took long strides towards Geet and held her shoulder in a steel grip, which made her stand up on her toes.
"Ms. Geet Gupta and soon-to-be Geet Maan Singh Khurana, mind your language!!! I am your-to-be husband!" said Maan while gritting his teeth in fury.
" I don't care whoever you are, Mr.Maan Singh Khurana or whatever. I am leaving from here right now!" saying this Geet pushed him with all the strength she had in her and was about to leave when Maan pulled her by her waist and pinned her down to the wall.
" You better do as I say! Or else I know several ways on how to get you on the right track" said Maan with a loud and dangerous voice which had managed to scare Geet again.
She gave a 'I-don't-care-look' and tried to push him away. But her efforts went futile in the case of freeing herself from him but they didn't go in vain as Maan got infuriated by this, all over again.
" So you will not listen to me in this way. Not a worry, darling. I have many ways to make you listen to me." said Maan, before moving dangerously close to Geet and unzipping her kurta, which made Geet shiver in fear.
" If you don't want to change in to the bridal attire, then I will help you there." said Maan in a dangerously low voice, which made the darkness around Geet, even more scarier for her.
He was about to pull out her kurta when he heard her low voice.
" Okay I will marry you but please don't do this!"said Geet pleadingly.
" You have exactly 10 mins if you don't come then I will barge inside the room!!" saying this Maan left her with a victorious smirk and left the room for the Pooja.
-----------
After 10 minutes,
Geet came down in a red wedding lehenga for a day which every girl waited for throughout her childhood. But this was the last day of her life in the true sense,as she would never be the Geet, she used to be.
Not just the surname but also her life would be turned upside down. She felt like she was betraying her parents by doing this but she was left with no other option. It was the only way left to save her dignity from this monster infront of her,
She went down to the Mandap with a heavy heart and sat down beside Maan, who was dressed up in wedding sherwani and was smirking at his victory.
Soon the pheras, Manglayadharan and Sindhoor dharan was done and they were announced to be husband and wife for the next 7 births by the priest.
The reason behind all the rituals of a marriage suddenly seemed to vague.
The Seven Rounds around the Fire seemed to be the rounds taken around the corpse during a funeral.
The Mangalyadharan, seemed to be a death sentence to her, and the darkness of the beads seemed to be the monster in him.
The Sindoor Dharan, was the moment she wished that it should be the last moment of her life. She felt as if the red color of the vermillion was taken from the blood of her heart.
Geet was crying badly as she was unable to accept the new fact of her life, in which she was supposed to be the wife of a monster, with whom forget 7 births, even 7 minutes was a hell.
------------
Maan came out from the mandap to drag Geet along him and proceeded towards their room for their Suhaag Raat.
Geet decided that it was heights of forcing from Maan now, and she released herself from his grip and asked,
" Why did you marry me, dammit? You want to bed with me, right? How cheap?" said Geet, while crying and hitting Maan, which made him hold her arms and pin them behind her back.
" To bed with you, I didn't even had to marry you. And since you started the topic, so let us proceed towards our next ritual."
" Shut up , Mr. Maan Singh Khurana!! You cannot force me to do anything and everything! You have no right to do this to me!" said Geet, while trying to free herself by kicking him.
" Shut up,Mrs. Geet Maan Singh Khurana. I am your husband and I have all the rights in this world to do anything with you." said Maan, while tightening the grip on her arms and bringing her even more close to him.
" And I don't consider you as my husband. You mean nothing to me." said Geet, angrily.
" Don't worry, sweetheart! Tonight you will have to accept me as your husband!" said Maan in a husky and dangerous voice.
" No way!"
Maan lifted her petite frame in his arms which made her get extremely frightened and she let out a scream before she passed out in his arms.
Maan was shocked and also realized the cruelty he was showing to Geet. He started patting her cheeks and called out her name several times but she didn't even show any sign of life in her.
Now he was getting scared.
What if Geet lost the point of life after what he had done to her?
He immediately took her to the room, placed her on the bed and went out of the room feeling extremely angry about his deeds till now.
He thought he will go for a long drive which would calm him nerves down but a thought struck his mind.
What if it was a plan of Geet to escape from him?
Hence, he came back to the room which was decorated for his Suhaag Raat.
-------------
After 30 minutes,
Geet woke up with her head feeling heavy and her palm over it to support it.
She realized that she was in his room and on the bed, and the reality struck her hard.
She turned around looking for him and saw him standing near the poolside.
She was angry now and she started hitting him on the chest which made him feeling startled and he lost the balance. He held Geet by her waist and both fell in the pool.
