~ABHI NAHIN AANA~ THREAD #7 - Page 53

Geet left with Sasha and she knew she had to work really really hard. She got back home in the evening to see maan on a call with someone. She forgot everything at an instant realizing it was Stella he was speaking to. Rage coursed through her body as she shut herself in her room and fell on the bed, trying to think of the moments that hurt her the most.

Maan came back late that night and Sasha informed him of Geet visiting her doctor. She was indeed getting back into it. he so wanted her to stay away from all this corporate crap but then he was no one to tell that. nisha wanted Geet away from all this too but then it was her dad's wish and hardwork that made them think over. She was the heir to everything..she just can't lose! And with the media searching for Geet handa, it wouldn't be long when they found out about her. she had to get back what she lost.

It went on like that for a few days and maan seemed ever busy with his schedule. She didn't even see him in the breakfast table and he came late at night before she slept. She had been quite restless all these days, trying hard to think of so many things. she had improved so much... she was doing well with her dance lessons but she missed maan. She wanted to see him once and hold him tight. There were times in between when she had flashes of her childhood and her school and college.

Even that night, Geet was restless. She tried calling maan but he wasn't answering. She sighed...the feelings for him seemed to be intensifying with each passing day in his absence. She wondered if it was the effect of her past that was haunting her present!! She just got off the bed, unable sleep and went to her bookshelf to get something to read. She smiled seeing a fairytale storybook stacked in her shelf. Sasha must have when they were in their old house. she took it and went to the balcony. The breeze was gentle and it was calm. She opened the book, and started reading one of the stories.

Maan knew he had to talk to Geet about her office and the auction to be held soon. he had just freshened up and went to get a coffee when he noticed the lights of her room still on. he knocked softly and went in, wondering what was she doing this late.

Geet was enjoying her picture book about snow white. Snow white's father died leaving her all alone in the hands of her wicked step mother who did nothing good for her. she was left all alone like a ragged doll...not being taken care of.

She didn't know why but her eyes stuck on the last two lines..the ragged doll... the doll...it repeated in her mind..the doll...the book fell off her hands as she felt dizzy. She went blank and stumbled as flashes of distant memories ran in front of her eyes..

"mom..please don't go...", she cried.

"but I have to darling... here I bought this doll for you.."

"no... I want to go too...mumma...please..", she was hardly 6-7 years old and her mother smiled through her tears.

don't cry Geet... you have to be strong. See how the doll smiles... even you have to do the same. Smile..no matter what... don't cry Geet...smile. I have to go... and I want to see you smiling..."

She fell on her knees almost breaking down...losing her sanity as tears rolled down her eyes. She didn't even blink ones... as she muffled her cry, falling down. And he was there...to hold her, like always! He rushed to hold her from falling down but she seemed too distant for him to reach. She was lost somewhere...only her tears were the ones who depicted her state"pain... hurt... and immense pain!

"jaan... are you alright?", he was worried seeing her so weak today. She was trembling..she couldn't even stand up properly.

"mom...', she whispered, "my mom..."

As more tears rolled down her eyes, he tried to make her look at him. she was scaring the hell out of him.

"maan... mamma ko rook please...mamma...no...", she struggled hard to get out of his grip..to run after a silhouette that was beyond her reach now. maan tried to hold her as she struggled to free herself and run after something that didn't exist anymore.

"Geet... hold on..geet...geet...look at me...just look at me jaan.."

"nooo... mamma wait... the doll.. the doll...", she cried, fighting his hands, hitting him...begging him to let go of her, "maan...chodo mujhe please... mamma..."

"jaan please...calm down...look at me..", he was so scared to see her like this...he knew she was recalling some memories that she wasn't able to come out of it.

He tried to hold her still make her look at him but she hit him, cried and pushed him, trying to go after the unknown. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently, "Geet... just look at me damn it..."

He was so loud that he almost shut her up. She stopped fighting but the way she looked at him in immense pain, almost killed him right there.

"maan...wo...mumma...wo..", she tried to formulate the reality and just hugged him tightly, crying her eyes out. She had never cried this badly till now... but her mother..she remembered now..she was not with her anymore!!

"shh..its okay jaan... its fine..am here..", he caressed her hair with one hand and held her tightly, assuring her. he let her cry and take it all out. Her shirt got wet with her tears but he still held her close, letting her calm down. It felt like eternity hearing her sobs until she spoke of her own, "my mom... I don't even.. i..i don't even know if she is dead or alive..", she sobbed, "I miss her maan..."

This was the first time Geet handa was speaking her heart out to him and he knew it well. it was not just the new face of Geet..it was the inner face of Geet that had resurfaced. She had done a very good job hiding them for a long time but now..for once he was glad that the Geet handa wasn't alive now. he lifted her up in his arms and placed her gently on the bed, "jaan... shh.. its fine. Am with you. Its time you should rest..."

"but mamma...", a sob escaped her lips but he really had nothing to say to her now. he just leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead, "I know its hard for you... but you have to be strong Geet... chalo sleep now. good night..."

He tucked the spread and turned to leave when she held his hand, "mat jao..."

[don't go..]

He turned to see her red eyes brimming with tears and still ready to spill them all. He sighed...he just can't let her be alone like this. He sat beside her and caressed her head, "kya baat hain jaan?"

[what is it jaan?]

"kuch nahi... ", she closed her eyes, letting her tears roll down, "its been a while since I saw you properly or even touched you..."

Ohh my...her simple words could make him shiver to no ends. Their countless number of passionate nights flashed in his mind..but she never said anything like this. He had goose bumps on his skin hearing those words. Pagli... doesn't even know how much her each word excites him.

He leaned closer and made himself comfortable beside her, stretching his legs and she just snuggled closer like it was natural thing to do. He wrapped his hand around her and she used it as a pillow to rest.

"so... you missed me..right?", he spoke naughtily, trying to divert her mind.

Geet opened her eyes in surprise, looking at him.

"what? Admit it jaan... you missed me..."

She felt something warm on her cheeks seeing that naughty glint in his eyes. She didn't want him to know that she was blushing. She just closed her eyes and snuggled even closer, wrapping her hand round his waist and hiding her face in his body, "nopes... I never did.."

Maan smiled as he caressed her hair, soothing her. she spoke something and her gestures showed something else.

"waise..i heard from Stella that you are doing a lot better now!!"

She scrunched her nose hearing that name...not again! here she was having such a nice time with him and that stupid woman seemed to poke her nose here as well.

"stop talking to her...", she spoke flatly, yawning.

For a moment he thought had encountered with Geet handa...she spoke it just the way Geet would have spoken...direct and outright! But he loved it... she was probably showing the face that she had never shown to anyone. He smiled and rested his head on the head rest, still caressing her, "are you somehow jealous of Stella Geet?"

She was surprised to hear that... what did he mean by jealous? She breathed out softly, "I don't remember how jealousy is supposed to feel like maan..."

And she meant it. she didn't know what it was but yes she definitely didn't like Stella trying to rope in her maan. Her attempts were quite visible to naked eyes.

He sat there watching her until she drifted to a deep slumber and finally went back to his room. He lied on his bed and took out his phone where he had her picture.. of two years back, in her black formal suit, "you have to go back to the world you belong..."

The next morning Geet got ready to leave for her dance lessons when Sasha stopped her, "ma'am we are not going there today. We have an important business to take care of.."

Geet knew Sasha sounded serious, "what is it?"

Sasha guided her to maan's study and she was surprised to see maan still at home.

"have a seat Geet..", he spoke without even looking away from his file. Suddenly everything seemed so familiar yet so unfamiliar.

"is there something wrong maan?"

"theres a conference in the next 15 days and you have to attend it..", he spoke out point blank almost shocking the hell out of her.

"what? A conference? Whats going on?"

He put the file down and looked at her intently, "theres an auction of handa shares in London..."

Geet gasped hearing it... she had some faint idea about them owning a huge company and stuff but an auction? What was she supposed to do?

"I know it will be hard for you Geet.. but you being the sole owner and heir to the entire property have to come to the light and claim rightfully what is yours.."

Another bomb dropped on her without a warning...she was the heir and the sole owner to whatsoever company?? She sat there aghast wondering what was maan speaking about. He stood up, very well guessing Geet's reaction and walked out, "Sasha is there to help out with it... I want to you understand and be patient. Will see you in the evening.."

He walked out, leaving a shocked Geet all to herself. Sasha knew this was tough but it had to be like this. She went closer to Geet, "its time to claim your rights ma'am... I will tell you everything you want to know."

It took Geet some time to let those thins sink in as Sasha started telling her about her being the heir to the company.

"...your father named everything on your name. You were someone who could make everyone shiver in the conference hall... grab deals like water and you had the hunger to flourish... just like maan sir. You were ferocious and never back out... but it was your accident that changed it all..."

And that hit Geet, "my accident? How did it happen Sasha?"

Sasha wondered if she should tell Geet about the condition she was in..would that be right? the depression she was in..the hurt and the abuse she had faced? She looked at Geet who seemed quite disturbed and hence Sasha thought otherwise, "you were quite disturbed due to so many personal and professional problems...you had been driving rashly that day and...", Sasha took a deep breath, "...and rammed into a lorry.. doctor had said you could die but you survived it Chachi decided to get you here for treatment and away from all the dirty games of the corporate world. But as you gained consciousness, we were informed that you had lost your memories and later we discovered that you wont be able to recognise faces.."

This was just too much for Geet. last night's revelation and now this... she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She rushed to her room and quickly opened her laptop. Sasha followed, worrying about her.

She quickly searched the news about her accident... for knew if she was this famous then it would have been all over the news and she did get... pictures of the hospital, a crying Chachi...ana... maan... her office... there were more and more news on her..like she had been drunk and driving, her rude behaviour, her link up with maan singh khurana...news of her death...their shares being sold and so much more. There were images of her office which did stir up some faint memories.. things were happening so quickly. She just couldn't...she just couldn't remember anything.

She pushed away the laptop and buried her face in her palms, "I can't do it... i.. don't remember anything Sasha..."

Sasha held her hands, "ma'am... it was your father's dream... his hard work... you just don't have to do anything in the conference. You will just have to introduce yourself and say that you are alive and rest all maan sir will handle."

Maan's name from her mouth caught her attention. He had known all these all the while?

"did... did maan know that I was alive?"

Sasha sighed, "unfortunately no... he was even made to believe that you were no more..he saw you for the first time in the cafe after one whole year.."

Geet felt her chest tighten with so much pain.. what had happened to them.. what had he gone through all those years..she wanted to remember everything quickly to get over this never ending frustration but she just couldn't.

Gathering herself, she decided to go her dance class, to distract her self.

"Sasha.. don't tell maan about me searching all of these or anything I tell you okay.."

"but that wouldn't be right..."

"do as I say Sasha... i may not remember everything about him.. but I have recalled most of them..its just the matter of time..and I know its going to be painful.."

Sasha was surprised to hearing such deep words from Geet...and she knew it was time for Geet handa to come back. Probably the conference would be just the right thing.

That evening Geet knocked at maan's study and went in. He was reading a book from the shelves.

"umm Geet..bolo.."

She didn't say anything. She had been quite thoughtful all this while. she just walked ahead and looked at the books on his shelves. There were many on administration and management... some on business and economics. she ran her fingers through them and then stopped at one particular book that she found quite familiar. She pulled it out and opened it... something it was on management studies. She flipped through the pages trying to think how exactly familiar it was to her when she felt two warm hands slid across her waist and pulled them in his embrace. She smiled, closing the book and leaned back on him. she knew they had been very close... and it felt like the most natural thing to do. Her body seemed to react of its own in his proximity and she just loved being in his arms..something that came from within.

He kissed her cheek and nuzzled her neck, sideways. Millions of explosions took place within her...erupting nerve endings coming alive, making her realize how much in love they could have been in the past that it still affects her even now , though she has forgotten everything.

Love--what was it supposed to feel like? What should she think of it? she sighed, feeling that ticklish sensation on her skin, as his stubble scratched her cheeks...this man could be the definition of it. he never left her then...and he was still with her even in her worst phase. An enigma he is perhaps.. thats what she had managed to discover it by now. she didn't know what it was like in the past but yes, she was feeling it now...the most beautiful thing in her life was him perhaps.

"am sorry... ", he spoke in between, "..to drag you into all this.."

She smiled and turned towards him, "I am ready for it... "

He was surprised to hear all that but then her eyes had a certain determination in them. before he could even speak anything, she hid herself in his arms, resting her head on his chest.

"...don't worry jaan.. am with you..always.."

She smiled and whispered, "I know you will..."

They parted after a while and he cupped her face, "tum theek ho?"

She nodded cutely, "umm... maan.. but I want you to drop me in my dance class tomorrow..."

He looked at her naughtily, "don't you think Stella would feel bad.. "

She frowned and waked his arm, "badi fikr hain aapko Stella ki...i want you to come with me..thats it.."

He smiled and lifted her up in his arms, making her smile wider, "its so weird to see you this jealous...", and walked towards her room.

She made a face, as they walked the corridor, "am not jealous maan.. I told you I don't remember how it is supposed to fee like..and why on earth is it wiered?"

"because I had never seen you like this...", he laughed at her expressions and pushed open the door to her room. Avantika was just retiring to her room when saw them like that. sh felt disgusted...this girl was all set to ruin her son all over again. she might have to talk to Geet and maan about this.

Maan placed her gently on the bed, "now sleep..."

"kal...yaad hain na... you keep too busy these days.."

He tucked the spread and turned off the lights, "of course jaan..good night..."

She watched him turn away and walk out. She just couldn't stop falling for this guy. He makes things easier to handle! She agreed to go for the conference for her own reasons... and being with maan was a very different thing altogether...she just forgot everything else.

She got up and took out her notebook to make an entry.

"I remembered what love is... and I guess I love him so very much.."
