Chapter 26- Kaise Main Kahu Tujhse...
PROFIT KE ILAWA LUCH SOCHTII BHI HO TUM YA NAHI!!! YOU DISGUST ME!!!
There is ...another reason ,sir...It's cause...I know what it feels like without family ...i know what loneliness is...
Her whispers continued to drum into his ears loudly ,much more than any of his screams ever did...He was so ,so wrong when he had thought that her tears didn't matter to him. It did...he had learned it the hard way when those two tears shimmering in her eyes which never made their way to her cheeks continued to twist his heart in a painful way...
Why the hell did he say the words he didn't mean! Damn it! He already knew all of her reasons without her telling him. He knew that she was fulfilling the duty of a proper secretary,he knew that her loneliness was the other reason...How could he not know when it was there in her eyes from the first day they had meet. He was there when she was so vulnerable for just a little love...he was there when it almost drove her to take her own life...
He closed his eyes. He didn't even wanted to remember that dreadful feeling when he had seen her falling from that roof...just remembering it made him weak in knees,left him feeling so vulnerable,at that moment's mercy...
He knew it all..all of it..Then why damn it!!!! Why the hell did he ...he brushed his fingers through his hair in frustration. It was already time...for that wreched dinner party. He picked up the phone-
Geet.Come in my cabin.
Yes sir.
He dreaded that she would have that sad look in her eyes,or tear stained face...or some evidence that she was upset...
But there she stood perfectly poised with her writing pad & pen as if nothing had happened earlier.
It's time. I should go for the dinner party now. He said cautiously measuring the air.
I was going to remind you sir. She replied without any emotion,just like she had throughout the day.
Hmm...What about yo...umm.. the staff?
Since this was not a pre planned invitation,some of them are going to come directly sir & some of them ,whose houses are nearby are going to come a little late.
Ok. Then...he played his fingers on the table nervously,already knowing the reply of the answer he was going to ask her.
Umm... We will go there & come back early,since you live pretty far,it will be already late no matter how early we get out from there. So i will drop you.
No. She refused flatly as Maan had expected.
He still fought. WHY? He asked demandingly.
I am going to come with you as your secretary. But...Sir i am just your secretary. It's not right to get special treatment from you just because we knew each other outside the office .So i won't come back with you
It's not special treatment.
How?
Le ,ab phass gaya na! Kya jawab dega iska Maan? He thought to himself.
Ahem. I mean,if it was another person i would have done the same. We take care of our employees here.
You would have given lift even to Adi sir?
Ab adi kaha se beech mein aa gaya! He thought to himself.
Adi?
Yes . He lives pretty far too.
But he is a boy. You are a girl. Itni raat ko bohut khatra ho sakta hai.
Then what about Mrs. Gonsalvis?
Wha...Look...Maan took a deep breath.
Look Geet. Not only you are alone,unlike Mrs. Gonsalvis ,whose husband picks her up in case she is late...the sudden darkness on her face at this didn't go unnoticed by Maan,but he continued...
On top of that you are new to this town Geet. It has hardly been even 6 months.
Geet looked on the floor,not eager to meet her eyes with him.
He sighed. You can be assured Geet. You are not getting any extra attention. Anyways..my home is on that way...i am just dropping you home on my way.
She looked up with the & with the barest hint of smile & a little nod she went away to wrap up her work for the day.
Was that a yes? Maan wondered.
****
Hello Mr Maan!!
Hello Mr Mittal.
Hello Ms Geet. He extended his hand to her.
She hesitated but shook his hands ,but to her horror,his hands continued to grip hers even after the formal greetings. Feeling uneasy she tried to pull her hands without struggling much trying to avoid any scenes.
But apparently it didn't avoid Maan's eyes,who was almost always had his eyes on her.
He gritted his teeth trying to control his anger as he almost barked out...
Mr Mittal,i have another meeting lined up today ,so we will be leaving early.
Meeting? Now?
Yes,it was sudden. He prayed that Geet didn't innocently didn't blurt out anything about his lie,but to his surprisingly she was quiet looking at the floor.
Awww! Such a shame Mr. Maan. Abhi to...his dirty gaze lingered at Geet...janna pehchanna baki hai. Thik se hum mile bhi nahi...
****
Geet was oddly completely silent during the whole time.She had politely refused to dance with anyone giving the excuse that she couldn't dance & just stood in one corner. But when she had politely refused Mittal...
Are chaliye na...hume bhi kaha utna dance aata hai. Just for few minutes.
She again refused him,but he continued to blabber & in the midst of his chatter he had managed to almost drag her in the dance.
She went stiff when she felt him touching her back,lingering his hands there inappropriately. Tears almost gathered in her eyes ,but she refused to cry.
When the hands started going down to her utter horror,Maan came in her rescue.
It's MY TURN NOW. Maan uttered through his gritted teeth...with enough malice in his hard eyes to burn Mittal alive.
Maan took position & put his hand on her back lightly. She almost cried with the feelings of security & warmth,the gentleness she felt in his semi-embrace...The feelings she never really got from anyone for a long time...
***
She had excused herself after the dance to the washroom,feeling overwhelmed .
But unknown to her...Mittal had followed her.
Geet washed her face & took a deep breath. After wiping her face She came out only to have a hand on her mouth covering her scream & be dragged in a lone corner of the big house.
Her eyes widened with fear as she looked at Mittal eyes for the first time...the dirty gaze,lusty eyes ...stripping women down of her honour...it was all to familiar to her. She froze.
That bas***d Maan is lucky!! I have to tell that. Aye hai!!! Ye gulabi gal,ye gora gora tan...his hand slid on her face...then hands.
Too familiar....she felt numb,screams of protest died in her throat. Tears of humiliation gathered in her eyes.
Are,Maan ki ilawa koi nahi chalega kya? Come on baby! Don't be a spoil sport! It's obvious that you two have special relation .Tumhe kya lagta hai,hume nahi pata ki kya hai tum logo ka important ...MEETING!!..he winked smiling nastily...
I mean dekho na..the way he guards you like a guard dog...waise agar koi tum jaise khubsurat ho..to hona bhi chahiye.
She could only back out a step..only to realize that she was trapped between him & the wall...
Come on! Don't act now. Itna bhi bhao mat khao. Tell me,how much Maan gives you. I will give you double. Secretary hone ke alag ,aur...he winked again...uska alag.
Geet shivered violently as he came closer & she closed her eyes dreading the next moment...
Only that it never came.
Maan was there ,bloodshot eyes glaring at Mittal as he gripped his throat shoving him to the wall...with all the intention to kill him...silently,painfully.
For the first few moments..she couldn't move. But then,she couldn't handle it. She wanted to stop Maan from dirtying his hands by killing him as she saw Mittal struggling to breath,but her own body,own voice gave out as she slumped on the floor attracting Maan's attention to her.
He immediately left Mittal who ran for his life & crouched down near Geet.
Geet ,Geet..are you ok?
She merely nodded.
Why didn't you atleast scream damn it!!! Atleast use push karke bhag jati!!!Aise khade rehne se ...agar main na aata to?
Geet closed her eyes & Maan knew he had said too much,but it was his frustration & fear for her talking & he knew it was not appropriate now to tell or ask her anything. She was not in that condition.
He sighed...Ok can you stand up? he asked gently
She nodded ,still violently shaking.
Maan didn't say a word & hugged her. Not in passion,or not even to console his fears...it was a warm hug to drive way her fears.
She didn't hug him totally. But he felt her hands cling to at the front of his shirt desperately,almost ripping it...as if saying to him...
Don't go...stay here...
After a few minutes,which felt like eternity...he nudged her lightly.
Geet,he whispered softly.
It's time to go home...
(Any similarities with any other ff NOT INTENDED. Please tell me first if you find one. But similarities with the serial itself will be intended.)
Precap- Next day. NT & Sasha's wagging poisonous mouth. Do you remember the scene when Maan gives Geet note for the first Party?? & the scene after that when she comes back to him again & again asking for something ,like- sir phool konse,colour gray chalega-remember...see me giving a twist to that scene😛
