Part -54

Maan was driving the car and Geet was sitting silently beside him.She was looking outside of the window.It was quite long and traffic was very less on the roads

Geet was still struggling with her feelings. she was thinking about whatever happened with her today. She heard Maan's talks with Shekhar and something cracked in her heart. She knew that Maan promised her to be his friend when they got married then why she was feeling sad for that. She was unaware of the result of thet struggle. Some tears rolled down from her eyes on her cheeks, she got alert when she felt something wet on her cheeks. she wiped her eyes while looking outside of the window as she did not want Maan to see her doing that but Maan's attention was on her as the road was empty and he did not had to concentrate deeply on the road. Maan saw her wiping the tears and he misunderstood it as her disapproval to whatever happened between them. He did not know that his wish of Geet accepting his love had started to take a shape. He wanted to say sorry again and he called her-Geet

Geet-Hmmm

Maan looked at her-I m very sorry Geet whatever happened there..before Maan could complete his sentence Geet shouted loudly-Maaannn

And Maan was shocked and automatically his foot pressed the break and car stopped with a sound of screeccch-Kya hua Geet?.. and then he noticed that someone was lying on the road in front of the car on his stomach. They could even see some blood spots on his clothes.

Geet was so scared to see that scene. First Maan thought to neglect that and move on from there as it could be some trick to loot the cars but then the thought hit his mind -what if someone really needs help. He was in double mind but at last his humanity won and he got down of the car and went near the injured person. He sat on her knees to see if he was alive or not. He turned him to see what his condition was , that person opened his eyes and got up with a jerk and next moment a sharp and big knife was shining in his hand. Maan was shocked to see him. Now he was worried more as Geet was with him.He could handle that person easily and before he could do anything Geet too had come near him and she let out a loud shriek seeing the knife in the hand of that person-Maan

And Maan instantly stood and held Geet but that goon was very fast. Soon two more goons joined him who were hiding nearby in the dark. one was with a gun and the other one was having a knife

One or two cars passed by there but no one stopped as it was very dangerous to stop. second goon pointed his gun towards Maan and Geet and asked them to give whatever they had with them.

Maan did not want to take the risk because of Geet as she mattered the most to him .He took out his rings and wallet and handed over them to those Goon. Geet was very scared to see that and she tightly held Maan's arm.and Maan wrapped his arm around her.

First Goon who was with knife- tum logon ke paas jo kuchh bhi hai wo sab de do (Give whatever you have with you)..and then he said to Geet- a ladki apna ye haar niklaalo aur baki ke gahne bhi mujhe de do jaldi karo..aur haan chillaane ki koshish ki ya jyada hoshiyaari dikhaayi ro mera saathi ek baar bhi nahi sichega goli chalaane me(you..take out your necklace ..and the other jewelry too..come on..do fast..and dare to shout or act smart. If you show any kind of smartness my partner will not think once to shoot you both.) He signaled towards the other goon who had taken them at his gun point.

Maan looked at Geet and nodded his head to do whatever they were saying. He did not want to take any risk that time.

Geet took out her necklace,bangles and rings and gave them to the goons. They took all the things including Maan's phone. Geet's phone was in the car.

One goon put the jewelry in a small bag and they seemed satisfied.

Maan- Leave us now as you have taken everything from us.man said this in English but one of them goons said-kya angrezi me bak bak kar raha hai? Hindi nahin aati kya.?(What rubbish you are talking in english ? Don't you know to speqak in Hindi?) Saying this the eye of the goon fell on Geet. She was standing holding the arm of Maan and was scared a lot.

Second Goon-Boss ..asli maal to chhod hi diya humne..isko to dekha hi nahin(Boss we left real jewel..we did not notice that) and he looked at Geet with greedy eyes.

Geet saw those eyes and started to shiver with the fear. Maan-Look..I have given everything to you quietly that doesn't mean that I m weak. Dare to look at her. Saying this Maan brought Geet behind him in the effort to hide her from those goons.

Goon with the gun-Achchha ? kya karoge tum maar daaloge hame..and they laughed - darr gaye hum(Oh really? What will you do.You will kill us? And they laughed loud-we are scared)

The goon with the gun came close to them and said-bahut hua ab natak band karo aur usko saamne laao (it's enough .bring her in front of us)

Maan -No way and he pounced at them

but the goons were alert and one of them he hit him with the butt of the gun on his forehead it resulted in a cut. soon the two goons with knives held Maan from both sides and tried to snatch Geet from him

Geet-Maaannn.

Maan-Don't worry Geet. They will not be able to touch you. And Geet cluched him from his back more tightly and Maan this time managed to give a punch on the face of the goon.

And then the goon with the Gun targeted him and put the finger on the trigger-Jaan pyari hai to ladki ko hamaare hawaale kar de (If you love your life then give this girl to us). In real they too want to go away from there as soon as possible as they was feared of the police. They were avoiding the use of the gun as it's sound could attract the cops but the beauty in front of them awakened the devil in their minds and they were blind now to see anything beyond this.

Maan- Till the time I m alive you will not be able to touch her.

Goon-ha ha.. to mar kar dega kya ..and he pushed the trigger but Geet shouted -Noo..please don't do this.

Then the goon said to Geet-Ladki agar apne pati ki jaan pyaari hai to khud ko hamaare hawaale kar de.tere pati ko jaane denge hum.baad me tujhe bhi chhod denge thode maze lene ke baad.. main bas teen tak ginunga( Listen girl if you love the life of your husband surrender yourself to us..We will let him go. Even we will leave you later after some enjoyment..I will count till three)

And he started to count-One ...two ..and Maan felt Geet leaving his shirt... He was scared to see Geet moving out from behind him and going towards the goon.Winning smile crept ion the faces of the goons.

Maan-Geeettt ..Nooo.. don't do this. please have some patience.. But Geet did not listened to him and she kept moving towards the goon but her mind was running fast. She turned and said in English- Maan take care of them and be active..she took the advantage of the illiteracy of the goons.. Maan's eyed widened to hear her. He thought-what she was going to do? But kept her words in his mind .Maan was helpless as he was now on the target of the three goons..It was Geet only who was free and was not at their target .. She reached near the Goon

and ..and ..and ..she pretended to faint and fell down on the road. Now the concentration of the goons went on Geet from Maan and they looked at geet removing their eyes from Maan and Maan took the advantage of the moment. He pounced at the goon with the gun and snatched it from him. And targeted them but the goons too tried to attack maan with the knives

but Geet put her leg between them and one of them fell on the ground and knife fell down from his hand. Geet picked up that knife and stood up But the third goon due to the anger pushed Geet and she fell down on the road again but Maan had a better control now and he shot the gun at the goons and it hit on the leg of one goon The sound of the gun echoed in the silent atmosphere. Soon they heard the siren of the PCR van which was at the round at a little distance from there.. Goon were now in the hurry to fly from there they picked up the injured partner and left from there. PCR van reached there and saw Maan and Geet in that state and asked them about whatever happened . They recognised Maan as he was a well known personality in the city. Maan narrated about the incident and police left in search of the goons by tracing the marks of the blood and captured them as they could not go too far due to the injured partner.

Maan helped Geet in standing by giving his hand to her. She stood but feeling little pain in her foot and in her hand too as she was hit hard on the road when that goon pushed her

Maan -Geet are you alright?

Geet did not tell him about her pain as it was bearable-Yes I m ok.Maan aapko chot lagi hai.She pointed toward his head

Maan-It's not a big wound. Theek ho jaayega.

Police returned soon after arresting all of them ..police came to them and asked Maan and Geet to identify the goons. They identified them and police took their signature on some papers and gave their belongings back to them

Policeman-Sir you need not to worry they will get what they deserve. And you don't need to come to police station as we were searching them from long.they are in the list of wanted criminals. Sir do you need any help from us now? We can drop you at your home .

Maan-Thanks officer. We don't need any help. We have our car. We will go.

And police left with the goons.

Maan-Geet aao ..Gadi me baitho. And geet moved with little difficulty. Maan saw her and asked-Geet dard ho raha hai?

Geet-It seems that I got my ankle twisted when he pushed me. But I can move and Maan held her with her shoulders and brought her near the car and helped her to sit in it.

He started to drive and after some minutes he confronted Geet- Geet what was that? Why did you do that? .. I was there to handle that then why did you go to them.. You know how scared I was that time? agar tumhen kuchh ho jata to?

Geet-They were going to shoot you how could I see that.. ? Aap mere liye soch sakte hain to main aapke liye nahin soch sakti kya? If you were ready to die for me then how could I not do that? agar aap ko kuchh ho jata to?

And Maan was shocked to hear Geet.He looked at Geet and Geet looked at him. There was an eye lock for a while. Maan was trying to search something in her eyes but Geet was well aware this time . She looked straight on the road and said-I mean.. we could not surrender to them so easily. And I was not on their gun point so thought to do something.I did not want to be their prey

Maan sighed to hear her as he thought about finding something else there for himself but he found it difficult to happen that so he diverted the talks

Maan-Geet waise you acted very smartly there . how did you think to pretend that faint scene?

Geet- in dec. 2012 after that bus gang rape happened , we all friends joined self-defense classes to face such situation and to confront the eve teasers. There they taught us not to lose patience and and try to think to overcome such situations. But I could not complete that course because of my marriage and she pouted.

Maan laughed -Thank God you did not finish your course otherwise those Goons would have faced something worse than they faced today and Geet too laughed to hear that-Aap mazak bana rahe ho mera.

Maan-No way..How can I dare that.. I need myself safe and sound.. and Geet smiled to hear that.

They were at home now and Maan opened the door of Geet's side to help her to come out but Geet could not move an inch as her foot was swollen because of resting and it was paining a lot. That time blood was warm so she did not feel that much pain but it was in a bad condition now.

Geet-Maan I m not able to move my foot. I think mocha a gayi hai pair me.

Maan-Relax Geet ..let me help you..he tried to bring her out of the car but Geet let out a shriek of pain showing her helplessness to stand on her feet.. Seeing no other option Maan picked up her in his arms to carry her to the bedroom and she instantly grabbed his neck as a instant reaction to made herself balanced in his arms.

Geet's heart beat stopped at once at that proximity. Here she was trying to control her feeling to be in the limits of friendship and fate was trying to torture her by keeping her close to him frequently. And she was facing some strange sensations in her body.

Maan's condition too was not less than her. But his POV to take them was different. He wanted to be near Geet but could not show his feelings for her . But it seemed that destiny was witnessing it and providing him more and more opportunities to be close to her. His heart was beating so fast that he feared for Geet to listen these beats.

He entered the house holding her and climbed the stairs. .

Though he was trying his best not to look at her as his eyes were reflecting his inner feelings but his eyes were deceiving him .they wanted to stay at her face. He controlled himself and looked in to the direction of his way to the bedroom. As he was not looking at Geet so she took a little advantage of that and she stared at his face.

She was feeling some butterflies in her stomach and an unknown hue covered her face.

She turned her face from his side . Maan reached the room and made her settled at the bed.

Geet -Thanks Maan..

Maan nodded and asked her to show her ankle.

Geet-It's ok Maan.I m fine ..and Maan gave her a glare-Geet let me check.. wahaan apni bahaaduri dikha rahi thi to ab dikhaane me kyun darr lag raha hai? Come on ..let me check how your ankle is now.let me see if you need a doctor or not.

She with a little hesitation and a slow motion, moved her saree from her ankle towards her upper leg. Her ankle was badly swollen.

Maan-Geet I think you need a doctor.

Geet-No Maan ..Not now..I think if I apply some ointment then I can manage ..it's quite late . I will take a pain killer too. If I need I will consult the doctor tomorrow.

Man-Are you sure?

Geet -Yes..

He took out the first-aid box from the side drawer and Geet said-Give it to me I will do it..

Maan-It's ok ..main kar deta hoon. Do you have any problem if I do that?

Geet shook her head in a no. This Time Maan's concentration was only on her ankle.

Geet was feeling little shy for letting him to do that... today was a very hard day for Geet.. so many things happened to her today.. she felt a mixture of emotions today. Maan took little gel on her finger and he stated to massage her ankle.

She stared at his face while he was busy in applying the gel.

Geet was in pain so she held her leg above her ankle to suppress the feel of pain.

Maan-Geet relax..thoda sa dard hoga lagaane me as I have to spread it over the ankle. After applying the gel Maan tied a crape bandage around her ankle so that it could be in a fix position. And then he gave her a pain killer. Geet took that tablet and ate.

After that Maan was going to put the first-aid box in the drawer but Geet held his hand and took that box from his hand.

Man-Kya hua Geet? Kahin aur bhi chot lagi hai kya?

Geet nodded her head in yes.

Maan -Kahaan? Show me.

Geet-yahaan and she pointed towards his forehead where that goon hit the butt of the gun. There was a little cut and some blood was there.

Maan-Geet it's ok..it's not big..aise hi theek ho jaayega.

Geet- it's small or big ..How can you decide it? You are not able to see it. Ab yahaan baith jaaiye aur dawaai lagwa lijiye chupchaap ..and Maan set there like an obedient kid.

Geet took some antiseptic on a piece of cotton and cleaned his wound and Maan hissed with the pain and burn.

Geet-Oh.. I m sorry..and then she leaned little ahead towards Maan and blew air from her mouth on his forehead while cleaning that wound so that he could not feel that burning sensation.

Maan closed his eyes feeling that air on his face...he was feeling like his pain vanished and he was in some heaven now. He lost in that feel. After cleaning the wound,. Geet applied the medicine and put some bandage there with the help of paper tape. Seeing Maan with closed eyes she smiled as he was looking like a kid that time. She thought that he had closed his eyes because of the pain. She had a urge to touch his face .She lifted her hand and brought it near his face but could not have the courage to touch it and she put down her hand without touching it. while putting her hand down a little painful cry came out of her mouth. Maan opened his eyes and asked-Kya hua Geet?

Geet-

I think I got a jerk in my hand too but it'd not that painful.painkiller li hai na to theek ho jaayega subah tak.

And Maan nodded ast this and said with a smile -thanks Geet.

Geet signaled at her ankle-thanks to you too for that and both laughed a little to see each other and Geet again shouted with pain as in that effort she moved her leg .

Precap... This time you all try to guess.😉😉
