~ABHI NAHIN AANA~ THREAD #7 - Page 58

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.."

-----------------------------------

She gaped at the black stilettos kept in front of her in bewilderment!! What the hell!! Sasha had told her about the look of Geet handa and she had to know how she had maintained herself in her past.. but no ways she was going to wear those high 6 inches heels and break her leg!! They were in maan's study, talking about Geet Handa's looks when Sasha presented her with the shoes.

(okay...couldn't stop posting the pic...❤️😆)

"i... am not going to wear it Sasha! "

Sasha and placed the shoes right in front of her, "you had loved them.. in fact you had a cupboard full of such shoes..and you wore them every day to office... Geet handa's style statement it was.."

Geet was so scared, "you don't want to me trip and fall and make a fool out of myself in the conference hall do you?"

Sasha waited for her put her feet into the heels, "nothing will happen ma'am.. You have just forgotten how to handle it.. am sure once you wear, you will be comfortable in no time.."

Geet sighed seeing those shoes, "do I have to do this? Wait a minute...how did you know my size?"

Sasha smiled and she stood up, " Because I used to buy your wardrobe!!"

She held Geet's hand as she slowly put in her one foot into the shoe and then the other as Geet looked confused.

"you were so busy...so I did the shopping for you..there..it fits perfectly!"

Wow... she used to keep so busy? Geet was so awed by the description Sasha gave of Geet handa... by now she knew she was way too bold..way to smart and a very strong headed girl.

Sasha held Geet's hands while she tried to walk in those high heals, carefully, cautiously.

"is it good?"

"very well ma'am... you are a pro in this..."

Sasha withdrew her hand and let her walk alone. it hurt her heel a bit...especially when she was wearing heels for the first time after her accident. She took a few more steps around but then her heels hurt and she tripped and landed right on his arms, "hey hey.. be careful.."

Sasha smiled and looked away as maan helped her stand straight. He looked at her and then at her feet... her fair skin looked beautiful in those jet black stilettos.

"its beautiful...", he smiled making her blush. She noticed, he was still in his suit..just back from office but still looking absolutely amazing.

"now... would you like to have a seat?", he asked as if he was to a royal princess, extending his arm to her. she gracefully accepted his invitation and held his arms proudly as he walked her over to the couch.

"ma'am... your shoulder needs to be straight..."

Geet sighed hearing Sasha, "yes Sasha...i am trying..."

They settled on the couch as Sasha excused herself, giving them privacy. They sat there for a while as maan took off his coat and loosened his tie and opened his laptop.

"umm..i am still mad at you maan.."

"for what?"

"you said you'd drop me that day but you didn't..."

"had to rush for a urgent meeting jaan..."

Uff..again jaan!!! This is the only thing she hates about him. he calls jaan and gets away with everything and pathetic...his words echo in her ears like she had been hearing it for ages now. she took off her shoes and cuddled up on the couch, folding her legs, "so..whats next?"

He looked at her very carefully...they had been working on this conference thing for the past one week and Geet was improving. They had just the next few days to prepare for the entire thing finally.

"...you to face them head on Geet. remember..you can't falter. You have to get your property back. There will be many familiar yet unfamiliar faces...you can't get weak.."

She sighed and leaned on his shoulder, "am scared maan... of this world where I am heading to..."

He held her hands and gave it a gentle squeeze, "it will be fine... you know I will be there with you right..."

They sat like that for some time lost in their world. Maan had been giving her bits and pieces of information about how her company had been and how things worked. She did get visions of her in the office and some staffs here and there but didn't make it obvious in front of maan. She kinda liked his way of teaching her everything...from the scratch. But her sharp mind knew she had known all these things already. Its just the matter of time that she recalls everything. She had that cute little drooling session while he kept on speaking and speaking on some basic matters and deals and about who will be attending the conference.

She bid him goodnight, carrying her shoes in her hands and he surprised her by placing a peck on her cheeks. She was in her own dreamland. She fell on her bed, keeping her shoes aside...shasha would be buying an entire range of wardrobe for her! this is just too tiring. Her mind went back to the memories she had recalled...about her childhood, about her mother...a smile adored her lips as she slept, thinking of maan and how he had always been with her.

She saw the flashes of her own self...holding files, wearing similar shoes in the past..flashes of meetings she had attended, Sasha and others from office. A certain wave of relief passed over her..she'd be able to handle this... and moreover, maan would be there!

The next day, she spent the entire day in the study with Sasha getting to know about the people who were to attend the meeting. Sasha wondered if she'd remember anything at all. She showed the laptop to Geet and pointed at the pic, "this is Arjun Rathode...the sole owner of xyz company, owning most of the handa shares as well."

Sasha looked at Geet, waiting for her reaction knowing very well that they had been at odds in the past. But Geet was looking quite confused as she stared at the picture. She didn't react, rather she remained stiff.

"ma'am... are you okay?"

Geet didn't at once..rather she fell back on the couch holding her head, getting restless, "i... I have heard this name somewhere Sasha...ahh I just can't remember where.."

Sasha looked at Geet worried...the last thing she wanted was Geet to have another prosopagnosia attack and they just couldn't risk It at this time. She quickly turned off the lappy and got her some water to drink, "thats it for today. Ma'am you are free in the evening... do you want to go out?"

"I want to sleep..", Geet mumbled and walked back to her room. She fell on her bed, trying to think..arjun Rathode...it felt it she had known this name for so long...like kind etched in her mind but she didn't know how she remembered this when she had forgotten everything else? She wished maan was here so that she could just feel the solace in his arms. A certain restlessness was stirred in her heart.. and she just wished maan could take it all away like he had done earlier.

--------------------------------------------------

She stepped out of her dance school and found it was drizzling...almost picking up speed. She had come to her dance class in the evening to divert her mind and indeed it was of great help. She had made quite a number of friends there and she enjoyed everything about it, except Stella. They didn't speak up but there was definitely an unspoken and unnoticed cold war between them. for Geet, Stella was someone very cunning, trying to rope in her maan. She stood for the rains to subside when the driver came to get her, holding an umbrella. She looked around and found a few of her friends talking... a couple enjoying the rain, hand in hand right in front of her...and she just liked it...it was too cute. The girl was her friend and the guy was her bf. They were walking away, in just one umbrella...awww...that was so cute. Droplets of rain fell on her cheeks as she imagined her with maan...hand in hand..in this rain!! She was definitely losing it...but she loved it. it felt each of her feelins come out naturally...he didn't have to do anything special for her to feel as such. He just did what he was supposed to..but it was her who was falling deeper.

The driver wondered where she was lost and called again, "ma'am...ma'am.. lets go.."

She looked at the couple in front of her dreamily and back at the driver, "maan waapis aa gaye hain kya?"

[is maan back?]

"ji ma'am.. abhi abhi I dropped him home.."

Geet smiled cutely and asked him to return, "ok fine.. you go. I will walk home.."

"but ma'am..its raining.."

She frowned, "kaha na..go.. I will walk."

Bechara driver drove back to the mansion knowing very well that maan will screw him up once he realizes Geet hasn't come back. And the same happened. Maan was back early and waited for Geet. the driver informed him that she insisted on walking down and she should be on the way.

"gosh... this girl is mad..", he took an umbrella and rushed out, "what do I do with you Geet?"

He rushed out towards her school and fumed seeing the rain pick up speed. He wondered if Geet had gone mad! She can't fall sick now out of all days. He rushed towards her scool looking all around if she was walking all by herself. He was getting worried..she wasn't!! Goodness...he wished she was still at her school waiting for someone.

A wave of relief washed over him, as he saw her stand by the edge of the stairs and put out her hands in the rain. Phew...she was crazy. He stood there, watching her... a few droplets of water rolled down her cheeks, a few stands of her hair was wet and stuck to her face, making her look so pretty..he had never seen her like this...never ever before! She smiled, playing with the water trickling down the roof when her eyes caught a glimpse of him. ahh..that twinkle in her eyes..she had somewhere known that he'd come and he did.

She blinked a couple of times making him gasp..and then realize that she was getting wet now, standing right out in the rain, in front of him. there were people running..some walking with umbrellas.. some cars passing by and they just stood, watching each other.

He rushed to her and handed her his umbrella, "are you crazy?? Why didn't you use the car hmm?"

She said nothing but smiled a bit, holding the umbrella, happily praising herself inside. she had so wanted to share an umbrella like maan...like others did.. simple yet loving. She wanted to know how it felt when they talked under it... and seeing him hand his umbrella to her almost felt like her wishing coming true. She was glad she sent the driver back.

"chalein?", he whispered in her ears, almost making her shiver with the simultaneous heat and chill around her. she nodded, looking at him dreamily...losing herself to that exotic look of his and most of all, his love for her. by now she had understood that he was no where into her company... no where related..he had his own to handle but he was getting involved here just because of her. any normal person ould have refused to help her, given her complicated state...but he was there, as Sasha had told her, without a complain.. without a sigh of regret and without any guilt or hesitation.

She looked ahead, feeling butter flies in her tummy as she stepped ahead and he matched her steps too... under the same umbrella. She just couldn't be happier...her wish was fulfilled. But wait... she was too early. As they moved a few steps ahead, he pulled himself out of the umbrella and pulled out another umbrella from his pocket and held it out, smiling at her!!

She fumed at the sight...what the hell!!! how could he? Anger filled her loving eyes as she glared at him, almost with a killing vibe. He looked at her as they kept on walking until he realized she was mad at something.

"whats wrong Geet??"

She couldn't believe he didn't understand what she had tried to indicate. His fingers held the umbrella instead of hers...they were walking in two separate umbrellas instead of one, getting half wet and giggling at their condition!!

"ye kya kiya aapne?", she screamed!

[what did you do?]

Maan looked at her innocently, "what did I do jaan?"

She was fuming by now..she had hoped so much and stupid didn't even realize when she had tried to hold his hand. Instead, he had gone and opened his own separate umbrella!! She shot him a deathly glare, threw the umbrella right on the road and jogged towards the mansion. Maan wondered what was wrong with her...she was definitely mad about something. he picked up her umbrella and rushed to her, pulling it over her head, "Geet..whats the matter? Did someone tell you something? Geet..."

"leave me alone..", she walked faster, fuming. She felt like a fool to have assumed everything huh!

"Geet...stop..you will fall sick...", he tried to hold her hand but she jerked it off in her cute anger and walked ahead, "I don't want to talk to you maan..just go!!"

He rolled his eyes wondering what did he do to make her mad. He walked faster and caught up with her, "Geet..tell me kya hua..did I do something? just speak it out.."

She chose to give him a god silent reply in that cold shower and walked not even listening to him. he was wet..and she was being stubborn. He warned her of falling sick and asked her again and again to stop and get back to him but she was too mad perhaps to listening to anything. Giving up, he threw the umbrellas away and pulled her in a jerk, close to him, making her collide with his hard form.

"just speak it out damn it...what is wrong.."

She looked at the fallen umbrellas and looked at him with her red eyes, "i..i wanted us to walk together... do you care? "

He stilled for a while realizing the whole intention of her calling him over and then fuming at that umbrella thing! It was almost impossible for him to make get handa spit out what exactly her heart desired the most... but here, it was the heart of Geet handa who was standing right in front of him.

She closed her eyes, letting her tears fall and lose themselves to the cold droplets of the sky and walked ahead, jerking her hand away. And the next moment, she realized her feet dangling in the air, as she struggled to free herself from his grip.

"let go..."

"am sorry jaan...", he spoke ever so innocently picking her up in his arms that she couldn't stop herself from looking at him in wonder.

"am sorry...i know I haven't been able to spend much time with you nowadays... am so sorry...please maaf kardo na..."

She almost melted in his love filled tone but then looked away angrily. Maan smiled when she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested her head on his chest. She was angry...but her gestures always said the opposite.

"gussa ho?", he teased her as he walked towards the mansion gates...both were completely wet and she had just refused to talk to him.

She adjusted herself in his arms with her eyes still closed, "umm... I am cold..."

He sighed and whispered in her ears, we're home..."

Ohh my...her heart fluttered with those words.."we are home" rung in her ears infinitely. How beautiful it sounded from his lips... them.. together... humesha se!

Ana was standing by the window, watching the rain when her eyes caught the glimpse of them together, walking on the drive way. Sasha was just in her room, reading some files when Ana squealed, "Sasha...come take a look here..."

"what is it Ana?"

"arrey dekho tho.."

Sasha rushed to Ana and both the girls stood there, laughing sheepishly, seeing the lovey dovey couple walk in..with maan carrying his princess, bride style, in his arms.

"Sasha.. don't you think they are being too bold?", Ana giggled!!

Sasha smirked, "this is nothing yaar.. trust me I have seen more..."

Ana looked at Sasha curiously, ".what?? how... when.. where?"

Sasha sighed and closed the curtains and got back to her file. Ana leapt on the bed and folded her legs, "ohh boy.. don't tell me in office..."

Sasha smiled and buried her head deeper into the file, wondering what will happen when Geet remembers everything. Things seemed so happy... and she was happy to see Geet experiencing all the natural emotions that she never had in the past but things were going to change soon enough.

He carried her to her room and made her sit on the bed. He brought the dry towel and wiped her hair, "ab bhi naraz ho?"

[you still mad?]

Geet didn't reply...she was just too lost in the moment with him. never had she felt this strong an emotion for anyone.

He sighed upon hearing no reply, "change Geet... freshen up or else you will catch cold."

He turned to leave when she held his hand, stopping him. before he could even understand, she leaned forward and placed a peck on his cheek, astounding him with her advance! This was the first time she had ever made a move... before he could reply, she had already rushed into the washroom. He smiled, caressing his cheek and walked out, closing the door.

Geet stood under the shower, lost in her moments with maan. In all this, she never realized that the wish she had wished for as Geet handa had been granted... to live like a normal girl.. have a family of her own... maan to her own where she didn't have to put up a mask.. where she could express herself without any restrains. She got what she had wished for... but she never remained the same to cherish that feeling...she wasn't Geet handa anymore!

---------------------------------------

He put on his shirt as he buttoned it and spoke on over Bluetooth, "I am sorry for leaving everything all of a sudden and disappearing..."

Sasha carefully helped Geet put on her cream colored coat, over her crisp white shirt as Geet repeated over the Bluetooth, "I am sorry for leaving everything all of a sudden and disappearing like that. As you all know I had been involved in a car accident and was almost dead.."

He put on his cologne and then the cufflinks, "I needed a quiet recovery and hence I had to stay away from the public eye for a long time till I was alright..."

She sat in front of her mirror as shasha put on her small diamond earrings and did her hair in a small lose pony, "I needed a quiet recovery and hence I had to stay away from the public eye for a long time till I was alright. I may not have fully recovered but I am capable enough."

Maan put on his coat, checked his schedule on his phone and smiled, "and Now..geet Handa Is back..."

Sasha put her stilettos in front of her and Geet slipped them on one by one. She turned to towards her study table where there hung pictures of some eminent people she had known all her life, with a brief description of them. she had a quick glance over them and her eyes again stuck at one picture thart had left her restless. She read the name"Arjun Rathode, "and now... Geet Handa is Back!"
