Part – 39
It’s 11 pm and still there is no sign of Maan…
Geet is really worried… she tries to console herself that Maan should have gone out for a dinner with his business circles…
But then she remembers him not going to dinners like that…
Maybe in Mumbai he would go out and have some fun…
But Maan is not such a character, if it were Dev then Geet is sure that he might be enjoying a night out…
Dev is a party person and he enjoys spending time with friends whenever possible…
Actually Dev promised to show her the nightlife of Mumbai that day which was totally ruined by Maan…
Geet too likes such social gatherings, that too when she has a very good company as Dev…
Dev has shown her a taste of today’s gen z’s life style to some extent and she loves to live her age, what’s so wrong on that?
But still Geet is only worried that Maan has not arrived…. She can’t imagine him going out some other girl that he met at the meeting… hare, she is his wife, as of now na?
Geet is also scared of that Angry Singh Khurana that she got a glimpse of earlier in the day…..
Has he left to Delhi without her after seeing her with Dev?
Geet can’t imagine that Maan would leave her alone like that…
She is confident that Maan would never leave her like that without informing her…
She keeps waiting for him…
Geet couldn’t sleep until Maan arrives…
She is worried where he would go at this time… Maan returns after only very late in the night hoping that Geet would have slept as usual …
He tries to sneak in without waking Geet but Geet switches on the lights for him….
Maan is surprised to see her still awake waiting for him…
Maan keeps staring her as if he looks for an explanation from her for being awake …
Maan is scared that she would start questioning him for his uncanny behaviour earlier…
Maan thinks that he did something utterly foolish…
Who is he anyhow to hurt her like that, even if she is his wife for the time being?
She is somehow his responsibility….
Maan can’t meet her eyes directly for he is little ahsed that she treated her like that, he has never treated any woman like that for that matter…. But we hurt people whom we love the most and care for the most….
Maan might have hurt her physically but knowingly or unknowingly she broke his heart…….
Geet doesn’t want to tell him that she was worried about him…
She knows he would be too tired for any discussions now…
Geet: kahan gayab ho gaye the aap?
Maan: tum abhi tak yahan kya kar rahi ho?
Maan thought that she would have booked a cab and went back to her so called boyfriend…
No one knows whatever drama is still remaining in her script, Maan doesn’t want to see anymore of this stupidity…
He not going to witness all this madness, he would be happy is she just leaves him alone and goes away from him…
He doesn’t want to see her being humiliated or getting into any kind of trouble in front of his eyes…
It’s better for her to leave his sight once for ever… he can’t deny the fact that it would take a little longer to get her out of his life though…. Not to forget about his poor heart….
Geet: what do you mean? Where would I go?
Maan: to your boyfriend
Geet: there is a lot more time for that, moreover he is now very angry with me
Maan: what?
Geet: thanks to you
Maan: I can drop you if you want
Geet: I’m not going anywhere
Maan: what?
Geet: I’m still your wife if you remember
Maan: you keep confusing me Geet, first decide whether you are my wife or his girlfriend, you can’t be both at the same time
Geet: but that’s the truth
Maan: you and your blooy truth, I don’t believe in your truth anymore
Geet: then why did you got angry seeing me with Dev? Why did you take me from there forcefully?
Maan has no answers now…
Maan loses his patience…
Maan: what the hell do you want me to do then?
Geet is taken aback by such s direct question from Maan…
She just stands there blank… she has no idea what she is doing right now…
Why is she even questioning Maan?
He is no one to her as such, not more than a boss…
But which secretary has the rights to question the boss like this?
Maybe she should have kept quiet, but she was hurt and angry….
Maan: come on tell me Geet, what should I do? I’m ready to do whatever you want
Maan thinks to himself… please Geet, just let me have my peace back… I can’t take anymore of this drama…
I’m not a melodramatic person, but you don’t realize what you are doing…
Why did you come into my life at all?
What is that you want from me?
I was ready to give myself but now I don’t have anything that you might want… just go away from my life Geet…
Maan keeps staring her…
He is trying to get an answer from her all so expressive eyes…
But they are confusing him a lot as always, or is he the one who is confused?
Geet too doesn’t really know what she expects from him…
She has no direct answers for his question….
She thinks for a while and comes up with an answer though…. She is Geet Handa, and she has all the answers for MSK’s questions….
She is actually pretty hungry and she is not used to sleeping with an empty stomach…
Geet: I’m hungry
Maan can’t believe this girl… she is hungry now?
She sure is someone out if this world… someone out of his limits of understanding…
Geet just reminds Maan that he had gate crashed their lunch date and poor Geet didn’t even get to eat her lunch…
Maan is completely lost of words…. He has to start thinking like her if he has to answer her silly questions…
Maan has successfully turned insane himself….
Maan: nobody stopped you from eating
Geet: I was not hungry then
Maan doesn’t understand what she wants to say…
Maan: you are hungry only after seeing me?
That is the truth, she only heard the voice of her stomach after knowing that Maan is back…
Geet: haan, that’s not my fault, that’s how my body functions
Maan: what?
Geet: you ate your stomach full and so you won’t understand my hunger pangs
Maan has to fill her tummy if he wants to stop the drama queen and if he wants to bring back some of his sanity…. Else she would turn him into a bigger fool than her…
Maan tries the room service and they have only salad and fruits at this time…
Geet doesn’t eat anything healthy…
And her hunger is bigger to be satisfied with all that, she is actually a stress eater …
She’ll eat a whole MSK fry if she only could have it….
Maan knows that she is a monster in empty stomach…
Maan decides to go out and get something for Geet…
Actually after seeing and talking to Geet Maan’s metabolism has also started to function…. He is also feeling hungry….
He has lately developed a new appetite for unhealthy stuff too after Geet came…
And also he wants to get out before she could drop a another bomb or so….
Maan knows what to expect from this little Pandora’sbox very well…
Maan needs to find a way to keep it shut… at least for the moment….
Maan tries to leave when Geet who is scared that Maan would leave her alone again stops him…
Geet has not been so much emotionally attached to anyone like Maan, not even Dev…
Geet felt a huge void when she was left alone by Maan…
She was so scared seeing his mood off and on top of that he didn’t respond to her calls…
Some where Geet feels the guilt that she might be the reason behind his anger…
Knowing or unknowingly Geet has hurt him badly and she knows that too…
Now she won’t let him go out alone at this point of time… not in this mood definitely…
She has seen his anger mode, she doesn’t want him to get into trouble at this time…
She knows he is ready to burst… but she can’t understand, why all of a sudden this sleeping volcano became so active?
Geet has entered as a catalyst to reactivate it… haina?
Geet: kahan jaathe ho? You can’t go like this, as and when you wish
Maan: you are no one to say that Geet
Maan loses his cool again…
Geet is not afraid of Maan…
Geet runs and stands in front of him blocking the door…
She is not afraid of him anymore…
This time she won’t fall that easily, now she is also ready to give him back….
But fortunately Maan is not known to repeat his mistakes…
Geet: mein bhi dekhti hoon ki aap kaise jaathe?
Maan: Geeeeet, hatto
Maan raises his voice…
Geet breaks down….
She is actually scared for him…. She has to use some sentiment…
Geet: itne raat ko ek ladhki ko aaise akhele chodke kaun jaatha hai?
Ye Geet kya baat kar rahi hai iss waqt….
Waise toh aaise ladhki ko akhele chodke koi bhi nahi jayega … Maan bhi nahi chahega ….
Maan: if you remember you just said that you are hungry, as of you are dying of hunger, I’ll be back soon
Maan angrily replies that he is not going out for himself and that he is forced to go out for Geet only….
Geet: I’m not hungry, please don’t go away leaving me alone again, I’m scared of the night
Maan knows she is telling a lie to stop him…. Maan doesn’t know how he landed in this mess and if he would ever get out of this?
Does he even want to? That’s another mystery….
Maan: you come with me then
Geet: teek hai
Maan remains silent…
Geet doesn’t like his silence…
The night that looked so bright and beautiful just a day before, looks dark and scary tonight…
Its just b’coz Maan is angry with her…
