MG FF || HIS UNBREAKABLE VOW #2 || New Thread Link PG151 || - Page 52

Maan entered the house and found Daadimaa seated in the hall reading a magazine. The moment her eyes spotted him entering, she got up to leave the room when Maan held her back.

Daadimaa, please.! It's been one week, talk to me. Maan pleaded holding her hands but she only looked at him angrily.

What do you want me to say Maan.? Have you said anything to me, when you prefer saying silent then you should get used to my silence too. Daadimaa replied angrily.

Daadimaa, please.! I know I have hurt you... Maan tried reasoning with her but Daadimaa cut him off.

No you don't Maan, you don't know anything. You hid everything about your life from me. Not just me, you also hid it from Geet. What is her fault in all this Maan.? Does she deserve all this.? The first time Nisha created a scene in the house, I assumed it might be business rivalry but I never thought it would be something this serious. You didn't mention about her to me, not even once. Hadn't it been on her part, I would never have known about your relation with her. When did all of it start.? Tell me Maan, do you still meet her.? Did you meet her after your marriage as well.? Do you love her.? I want to know the truth Maan, if you can't respect Geet, I won't let her stay here so you can hurt her again and again. She has already been through a lot, she deserves some happiness. Daadimaa confronted him angrily. Maan looked at her guiltily and took her hands in his.

Daadi, please.! Nisha was a part of my past, yes I admit I hid everything about her from you, but believe me Daadi, she wasn't worth being a part of my life. Maybe that's why when she betrayed me, it never hurt. It only made me realize my mistake, my mistake of trusting her. I never loved her Daadimaa, believe me. I may be the reason for Geet being unhappy, I know all I have done is hurt her since the time she stepped into this house, but what am I to do Daadimaa.? You tell me, you know why I have to do this Daadimaa. It kills me to hurt her Daadi, it hurts to see the longing and tears in her eyes Daadimaa, but if not for that, an innocent heart like hers will only learn to love me. I can already see it in her eyes. But what after that.? Will she be able to take it when she learns the truth.? I can live by seeing her from far Daadimaa, but I won't be able to tolerate to see the love which I can see in her eyes now turn into hatred. I never in my dreams thought that my fate will play such a game with me. I can't hurt her, but I can't tell her the truth either. Maan confessed holding her hand against his cheek. Daadimaa felt the tears prick the corner of her eyes seeing him in pain. It was the first time he had opened up his heart to her.

You love her bete. Maan, listen to me. Tell her the truth, still there is a chance she might understand you. You are hiding it from her because you don't want to cause her any pain, but by distancing yourself from her, you both are suffering. I can see how much this distance between the two is hurting you too, this is love Maan. You don't want to cause her any pain by telling her the truth, but just think from her point of view, how much your behaviour would be hurting her. Everything may not remain the same after you tell her the truth, but nothing will be left if you hide it. Trust is the soul of love, if it breaks, nothing remains the same bte. Think about what I said Maan, I don't want to see my children suffering. Also if I ever see Nisha around you or Geet again, I won't tolerate it Maan. Daadimaa patted him on his cheek and left him battling with his own thoughts. Maan slowly walked towards his room, with Daadimaa's words ringing in his ears, could he muster up the courage to tell the truth to Geet.? Imagining the sight of her hating him burned his heart inside out. As Maan walked into the room, he saw Geet laughing her heart out with Rohan seated in front of her. The smile which adorned her face was of pure innocence, something he would hardly see when he was around. The sight bothered him. It wasn't her smile that bothered him, it was the realization that he could never bring that smile on her face and someone else did that was bothering him. He stood there, watching the two laughing away happily oblivious to his presence and battling the new emotions that knocked over his heart. Maan could feel the anger seething in his senses. Without a word he stormed into the room and threw his jacket over the bed not even sparing them a glance. Rohan and Geet stopped laughing as they saw Maan enter in a furious mood. Rohan signalled Geet to be quite and immediately stepped off the bed waiting for Maan to turn around and talk. Maan was too frustrated with himself and kept trying to calm himself down. On earning no response from him, Rohan rolled his eyes and hid a laugh seeing the usual angry Maan.

Well Geet, I'll go now. I think I cheered you up enough for today, you need to take rest now too. Make sure to take some medicine for your pain. On a different note, I'll pretend there is no one else in this room cause some people behave like others don't exist so we should behave the same. Say Hi to Maan for me when he comes back. My gut says, he may not be in one of his only good moods today and I'm not in the mood to deal with one of his mood swings again. So I'll better leave. Bye.! Rohan mocked sarcastically which paid off as Maan spun around looking from him to Geet. Rohan playfully threw a glare in Maan's direction and ran out of the room leaving a giggling Geet behind. Maan looked at her laughing her heart out with her eyes stuck on the door Rohan just went through. It was the most genuine laughter he had ever seen on her face. Much to his annoyance, it only worsened his fears.

How's your leg.? Maan asked in a cold flat voice. Geet stopped smiling and looked in his direction. He looked annoyed. A giggle bubbled up her lips as she remembered Rohan making fun of Maan.

What's funny Geet.? I don't think there was anything funny in what I asked you.? Maan snapped at her. Geet simply shook her head and looked at him with an innocent face.

Nothing. I just remembered something Rohan said, sorry. My leg is fine, it's not hurting much now.. She informed him. Maan nodded and walked towards the cupboard to get his clothes out when he saw her trying to get off the bed.

Where are you going.? Maan asked stopping her from getting down as he noticed her struggling. Geet looked up to find him blocking her way.

I... I was going to the kitchen. I needed a hot water bag. Geet answered him, looking down at her hands. It would be embarrassing if he would choose to ask her any more questions. Maan heard her mumbling to herself, and her answer confused him. Just as he was about to ask her more, Rohan's words came back to him.

Hot water bag.? For what.? Rohan said take care of your pain, what pain.? Is your leg hurting again, didn't you just say it was fine.? Maan asked frantically, panic evident in his voice.

Maan, please relax.! I'm okay, I just need the water bag. My leg is fine. It will only take a few minutes. Geet explained but he continued to glare at her.

Will you tell me what's wrong with you.? Maan asked her in a stern voice. Geet sighed in frustration and got up to leave but he blocked her way, holding her by her hand.

Maan, please.! She pleaded. Maan let go of her hand slowly and moved out of her way. She eyed him in confusion, she expected him to be more tough than that.

So you can tell Rohan about your pain but not me.? Maan asked in a flat and painful voice making her heart clench. She held his hand and pulled him back as he was about to walk away.

Maan, listen to me. Why will I share my personal issues with him and not with you.? I only was hesitant to tell you about my pain because it's just the pain from the cramps I usually get during this time... She tried explaining to him. Maan narrowed his eyes in confusion as he heard her words. She looked at him expectantly but his expressions made it quite clear that he was clueless about what she was talking..

My...My period has started. Cramps are normal during this time and that's what the pain is. I didn't tell anything to him, I only said I was having a bad headache and wanted to rest. Geet softly explained to him, looking down at her hands. Maan looked at her and he could see the blush that adorned her cheeks. It made him smile. Geet looked him and the smile on his face only made her blush more, she let go off his hand and tried to walk away as fast as possible.

Wait Geet. You sit here, I'll ask the servant to get it. Maan said, pulling her back and making her sit on the bed again.

No, not them. If Daadimaa comes to know of it, she will again come up and worry. I don't want to trouble her. I'll go get it, it will only take a few minutes. Geet said trying to get up again but Maan didn't let her.

Okay, I won't ask them, I'll bring it. You sit here and don't stress your leg. Walking around the corridor is fine, but climbing down the stairs will be stressful. I will get it. Maan turned around to go when she spoke.

Maan, it's okay. I can do such a small thing. You have just returned from office, you can go and freshen up, I'll be okay. Besides, my leg is far better now. The doctor said he will remove the plaster in another day or two. Geet informed Maan. He looked at her in confusion and moved towards the bed.

When did the doctor say that.?

I went to the doctor with Rohan today. That's when the doctor took the X-ray and said he will remove the plaster in two days. Geet replied. Maan felt his heart clench at her words. Everything about her spending time with Rohan was infuriating him and this felt like the last thread which was left unbroken. His hand clenched around the vase and the next moment the silence in the room was broken by the crashing sound of the vase as it smashed against the mirror. Geet gasped in shock as she saw Maan standing with his fist clenched at his side. His eyes burned in anger.

Maan, what.. what happened.? Did I say anything wrong.? Geet asked slowly, getting off the bed and trying to reach out to him. Her question set him off the edge once again. Maan's eyes darted towards her and his hands grabbed the top of her shoulders, his fingers digging into her skin.

Wrong.? How can you be wrong Geet, it's me who is always wrong. It's me who is wrong because all I can do is hurt you, all I can give you is pain. It's me who is wrong because I cannot bring even a trace of a small smile on your face but I always manage to leave you in tears. So it's obvious I am the wrong one. Daadimaa doesn't consider me worthy enough to take care of you when you are in pain. You don't even feel protected enough with me to share your pain. Maan lashed out, trying to pour out all his pain and fears. Geet was stunned hearing his words and all she could do was look at him, stunned with his words.

Maan, why are you saying all this.? I have never even said any of this, then how can you say stuff like that.? Geet asked with her voice breaking as she tried reaching out to him.

You haven't said it but I can see it Geet. Understanding your heart is too far, when I am not even worthy of knowing about you being in pain or visiting a doctor. You not informing me about your pain is enough to make me show what I am worthy of. The proof is, my best friend knows more about my wife than I do. He can bring a smile on your face which I can only dream of, yet never fulfil it. Maan burst out once again.

Maan, please.! Nothing you said is true, believe me Maan, I didn't ever think of any of this. I didn't think this will hurt you so much, I never wanted to hurt you. I noticed how stressed you were regarding your office since a few days, so I just didn't want to stress you any more so I went with Rohan. I didn't know this will hurt you so much, please get all of it out of your head. You should know it by now that nothing except you can make me happy, but at the same time, I want you to be as happy as I am. Please don't think so low of yourself Maan, I won't be able to bear it. Geet pleaded with tears streaming down her eyes. Maan wiped them away and shook his head with disappointment written over his face.

Now also you are in tears because of me. But this is how you are Geet, innocent as ever. You will obviously try to make me feel better, but nothing will make me run away from seeing my real self. Maan said and walked out of the room.

Maan... Geet tried calling out to him but he was already gone. She sat on the bed thinking about his words, stunned by his reaction today. It was such a small issue and it had tormented him to such an extent. She was sure why he behaved the way he did, only was unsure of why he was holding himself back. She wanted to pull him out of his shell, but every time he would only walk deeper into it. Tears ran down her eyes as his words rang in her ears, the thought that bothered her the most was how could he even think so slow of himself.? On the other hand, Maan stormed into his study, unsure of everything that happened. His mind knew he had made a big deal out of nothing, yet his heart was only blinded by his emotions. His new found emotions were taking a toll over him and he felt helpless losing his control over himself. Maan himself didn't know how to justify his outburst to her words, it was Rohan after all, yet it was bothering him that much. He was losing himself to his heart in his desperate attempts to seal himself away from Geet.

Geet lay on the bed with her eyes closed, thinking about Maan's pain while she tried to forget about hers. She heard the door open and instantly knew it would be him. Maan watched her lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He quietly sat beside her on the bed and looked at her pain stricken face, it was obvious she was disturbed by his words. Without a word, Maan slowly removed the saree covering her stomach and applied warm oil on her skin, trying to soothe her pain from the cramps. Geet's heartbeat quickened as she felt his fingers move across her skin. His care was evident yet he wouldn't bother telling her why he cared. Tears pricked the corner of her eyes and unable to take it any further she threw her arms around him and pulled him into a tight hug. Maan for a second was taken aback by her sudden reaction, but he didn't push her away. He couldn't do it anymore. It would only make him more vulnerable.

Why Maan.? When you care so much for me, what was the need for all the negativity for yourself.? You also know how much you care for me, then what's with the silence.? Geet said tightening her hold on him.

I never said I don't care for you Geet. I can't deny that I care a lot for you.! But I can't and don't give you anything but tears. Maan spoke in a cold voice, trying to hide the pain he felt seeing her in pain. Geet's grip on him loosened as his words sunk in. She broke the hug and looked at him trying to understand him and not snapping at him.

Do you think I can't see it Maan.? After being with you for this long, isn't it obvious that I can see through you.? By trying to hide your pain, do you feel I can't see your pain.? No matter how much you try to hide it, but I know you love me. Just because you are silent doesn't mean I will give up. I won't let you suffer alone, if that's how it is, I will suffer along with you than letting you into it alone. Geet said confidently. The confidence in her eyes scared him, he knew he would eventually give in to her. Maan stood up to leave but Geet held him back.

You were jealous of seeing me with Rohan, right.? How long will you try to hide it Maan. I don't think I can take it any longer. She said as he tried to free his hand from hers but she didn't let it go. Maan turned back to look at her and the torment on his face shook her.

Please Geet.. Was all he said and shook his head. It was an earnest plea, coming starlight out of his tormented heart. Her fingers loosened around his hand, letting it drop. He looked at her worried face and turned around.

I don't wish to hurt you more Maan, but I want to share your pain with you. I won't let you suffer alone, you will open up your heart to me and share your pain. It's my promise to myself as well as to you. Geet quietly said and turned away from him lying on the bed. Her words did unravel his hidden fears but something her confidence didn't make him want to run away from her, but rather let her into his heart with a hope of never losing her.
