Part 6
Geetwas shocked, scandalized and killed that very moment. How could anyone do that?
Immediately she tried to cover herself with her hands but it was of no avail as she couldn't hide herself from his bedroom eyes.
She hoped that the earth could be cracked to swallow her in but nothing of that sort actually happened.
Seeing her struggle to hide from him, Maan looked a bit away from her and threw the bathrobe at her, before staging a walk out from the room.
Geet whose eyes were closed, clicked open with the shut sound that followed Maan's exit from the room.
-----------------
A Lonely Place,
Maan had vented out his frustration by going on a long and rash drive. Ever since he eavesdropped Anvesha's conversation with his departed parents' photo, he felt weird feelings arising in his heart.
Geet was his Pari? His childhood best friend and also secret love interest?
Hadn't he forgotten her after her departure from his life, which was marked with his parents death?
He was so engulfed in the pain of his parents death that he forgot about his love interest and his departure from his life.
For a 10 year-old it was too difficult to identify marriage rituals and so was it for a 7 year old girl. Geet was made to forget everything which happened back in India, and having a tender heart, it was very easy to influence her ideas and beliefs.
But in Maan's case it was completely by his wish that he chose to forget everything that took place before his parents' untimely death.
Now when he came to know that Geet was his Pari, it was next to impossible for him to not get attracted to her but the hatred which prevailed in his heart for her, for being the sole reason of his parents' death in his eyes, was not even letting him love her as he wants.
He wanted to hurt her but at the same time there was protective feeling for her inside him.
He wanted her to feel pain but he was not able to bear the tears in her eyes.
Truly, he himself had complicated the situation to an extent where everything was swinging in between intense love to intense hatred.

Maan's Farmhouse,
Geet had summoned some of the maids which were working and asked them to find an appropriate dress for her. And they had found some of Anvesha's designer suits for her to wear.
She was wearing a exquisite white suit with intricate red embroidery on it, unaware that red was his favorite color.
" Geet!!" came a shout from downstairs and she immediately recognized the voice as that of her fiance, Karan.
She rushed downstairs by taking three steps at a time and found her father and Karan in front of her. She immediately ran into her father's arms who had taken her in a extremely tight embrace to free her from all the fears which were haunting her.
"Geet Bitiya! Don't worry, me and Karan are here, right! We will make everything right!" assured Shashi in a concerned voice.
He was happy that Malhotra Spies were smart enough to track Geet's phone which helped them track down the location as soon as they landed in India.
" Yeah Geet! We will take you away from here!" said Karan, rubbing her back to stop the sobs which were escaping from her trembling lips.
" Oh Really, Karan Singhania?" came a voice from behind, which Geet immediately recognized to be that of her forced husband, Maan Singh Khurana.
Seeing him back, Geet moved closer to Karan and Shashi to feel secured.
" How dare you kidnap my fiance, Maan Singh Khurana?" shouted Karan, on top of his voice seeing Geet crying uncontrollably seeking her solace in her fiance and father.
" Not fiance, Singhania. She was never your fiance. Isn't it, Mr Gupta I mean Papaji?" asked Maan, sarcastically, fisting his palms inwardly in his pant pockets.
" Tell this man to shut up, Dad. He is going on saying he is my husband when he is nothing but a stranger whom I know since the last 18 hours. He even misbehaved with me." complained Geet, dauntlessly though tears were still streaming down her cheeks.
" Explain to your daughter that she was my wife since the last 18 years, not just 18 hours." said Maan, raising his eyebrow at Karan, who was shocked at the latest revelation.
She was his wife since 18 years and she didn't even know about this?
There was unknown sincerity in his voice and eyes which made her get convinced that he was saying just the truth which she was unaware of.
Geet immediately moved back from her father and asked him,
" Is this the truth, Dad?"
But the answer was just in the silence of Shashi while now even Karan was shocked with the revelation. Not that he didn't know that Geet was married in childhood but it was Maan Singh Khurana, that he didn't know.
" Yes, Bitiya. You were married to him in the childhood but that marriage was already broken by us." declared Shashi Gupta, which made Arnav smirk and Geet step back losing her balance.
Seeing Geet lose her balance, Karan came forward to support her but seeing him come ahead Maan pushed him and supported his wife himself.
Geet angrily pushed him away and said,
" What do you all think of yourselves? I am some commodity to be exchanged in the name of marriage and then should be taken back by breaking it! When you wanted to break it, then why did it take place? And how can you even arrange a marriage for children, Dad? And you Mr.Maan Singh Khurana, had no rights to marry me forcibly! I don't wish to see both of you in front of my eyes.
You broke my trust on you, Dad.
But you broke the rules of humanity, Mr.Khurana! I belong to neither of you!"
Will Geet go away with Karan or is there place for another revelation?!
