Fear. An emotion that can make anyone do anything.
An emotion that drove him insane... Not for him but for the girl who controlled his heart.
An emotion that he saw in his father's eyes for him and Geet...before he...died. An emotion that he felt when Geet was about to be hit by a truck.
An emotion he felt when he saw two of the rascals heading towards Geet. An emotion that he saw in the eyes of each of these rascals tied in front of him.
He leaned towards the man who appeared to be the leader Fear suits you A devilish lilt to Maan's lips. The man tried to play it off with a smug smirk. Maan signalled one of Khan's men. He raised his gun...the leader smirked It is illegal you know... You won't be able to do it He laughed it off. People don't need to know about it Maan replied curtly, and the man pulled the trigger and shot at the leader's arm...hitting his shoulder blade. The leader held a look of pure shock and horror at the crimson liquid flowing down and so did his comrades. Maan looked at each closely. They shivered but didn't react much except the frantic screaming of the leader.
Dress him up He said casually. He turned back to his seat, silently basking in the emotion they were radiating, practically feeding on it. He slowly picked up the gun and cleaned it with his handkerchief, slowly and stealthily scaring them. You all would be of same state if you don't open your mouth in 5 seconds Came his cold uncaring voice. Inside he was seething, burning in the fire of curiosity and revenge. W-e do-n't kn-ow One of them stuttered. Maan turned his attention on him. Five...four..He glared at them all. They deserve to live at all, when they all had intention to kill, Maan thought.
His clenched fists relaxed a bit seeing them sweating. The leader was almost pissing his pants. Three... He trained the gun in line of the leader's head and shot. The bullet whizzed past almost touching his hair. Another close scrutiny and Maan saw one of them mumbling and heaving harder than others. Maan smirked...walked up to him and trained the gun on his head. The man closed his eyes and blurted We don't know...we never saw his face.. Maan looked at him distrustfully Two... The man dumbstruck again blurted out He spoke about other people on his other calls but never showed us his face....
Maan sighed warily Some Geet then...M-maanu ... V-vi-kash k-khur-ana ... Ra-rahu-l. Vikash Khurana? Uncle? But he is dead, Maan thought shocked. What could this person be talking about...vikash khurana. What was he talking about? To these people...Registering that even Geet's name was mentioned, Maan was stunned for a bit. I..I..He stuttered. All the members of their gang were glaring at the poor stuttering man.
Tell me... Maan demanded circling around him. He gulped in fear... He..He didn't show his face to us... an-and we were just supposed to" The man spoke fearfully. Maan was angered he wasn't telling all of the facts... he was hiding something.. Maan just knew it. He shoved the gun inside his mouth What the hell are you hiding?? Spit it out... He spat. The man squirmed...struggling.
Will you tell now? Maan asked smirking...but inside he was worried... if Geet was with them then why would they attack her? No it must have been some hired henchmen to threaten Geet ! That's it! The man nodded instantly. As soon as Maan relieved his mouth of the gun, he spoke like a broken record We were ordered to keep eyes on you... We didn't mean to h-harm you he rushed out.
Then why were you carrying those hockey sticks... and dressed like a local goon? Maan interrupted. He was still skeptical about their intentions.
We... he gulped. They had failed majorly! And the leader was going to skin him alive for giving away their intentions... Wanted to appear inconspicuous... soo dressed as local goons... He rasped, Please don't harm me... I told you the truth ... Maan ignored his plead... Why did you attack me then?
Our leader ordered us to... He confessed. Maan smirked at the leader as if telling your turn laters'. What was he threatening about to all these named people you mentioned? Anything? Maan was worried now... Why were they behind him and Geet? Was it property?... Maan was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the poor man fainted.
Sir.. Khan's broke his trance and finally he realized the man had fainted... Shall we make him spit it out? He asked pointing at the leader. Maan nodded stiffly. I have to go... Keep on informing me... And Maan left worrying what would Geet be doing right now.
~~~
Geet woke up disturbed and unsettled. She realized she was still in her office attire and on bed...precisely Maan's bed. She woke up, startled. How did she reach here? The last she remembered was- a mushy feeling arose in her gut- she was curled around Maan resting on his chest and sitting at the front part of his bike...of course after a lavishing dinner which he force-fed her- she laughed at that. Maan was changing for sure from hating her' to demanding... She frowned a bit at that... Was he acting??? She wasn't sure... Her eyes landed on the medicines kept on the side table... Or Was it some medicinal effect? Her eyes glared at the meds distastefully. How can she find it out? She took the medicines carefully straightening them out and reading out the combinations... She thanked the heavens for Maan's laptop was there on the table open... Immediately she searched about the medicines. Most of them were pain-killers as Maan had said but the anti-depressant one...there wasn't much info about it... she couldn't get much from it apart from the fact that it is banned now...due to its many side-effects... Now that worried her... If it truly affected Maan then? More importantly, then why did both Meera and Shekhar uncle asked him to take it if it was banned? As much as knew of Shekhar uncle he had been nothing but friendly to her... One or two times she met Meera... She was bit snobby but then not much harsh... Now this revealing fact about the medicine just made the distaste for Meera grow in her...
The medicine...
She wondered whom she could ask for more information... Who would help her... Will he help her??
Yes Rehaan... he would... She was now anxious and nervous to find out but realized she had left her phonebook and mobile in her flat... She looked at the digital clock nearby...
11:36 pm... It showed. She wondered where was Maan this late... Was he with... Oh God not with those thoughts again! She cursed herself. She didn't want to appear vulnerable again infront of Maan. She paced around wondering if she should go to her flat and grab what she needed and be back or just leave to it.
Finally her eyes fell on a note... She was surprised that he cared about her enough to leave a note... He knew she would get restless on not finding him.
Geet,
I am out for some official work. Its urgent... Will be back soon... Positively by midnight... Just stay where you are ... and no... I am not with Meera or anyone else... Take care and relax
Maan
Her heart felt warm and fuzzy reading the note... He cared... She folded the note carefully and placed it under her pillow.
Finally deciding she had 20 minutes in her hand...impulsively she made the decision took his car keys... and drove with his car to the flat... For a minute she had a panicked scramble for her keys... Then as she looked through her purse... she sighed. Thankfully she had tossed the flat keys...
There was no one in the flat even after she had emptied it? Strange... She wondered if Maan had anything to do with it...
Obviously him... Who else could have this obsessive compulsive disorder to hate her yet keep her things carefully... She mused at her own joke while searching for her cell and the phonebook... She wondered for a moment whether to keep the cell or throw it away...
A momentary decision... she copied the contacts to the phone... and then took out the sim and threw it away...
I would have to find another sim though Geet thought while driving back to KM. From outside the mansion she could see the lights on in their room... From his to their room... When did it change... Neither she knew nor she realized it.
She knew she would have to be quick... Scrambling she searched for any tossed away mobile...knowing many of the guards kept their mobiles to be charged in the guest room... She finally found one inserted the sim in her phone and called up... She looked around wondering if Maan realized she was back and not running away from Rehaan...
Yes... Dr.Rehaan speaking who is it...? Rehaan spoke out sleepily...
Rehaan its me Geet She whispered still fearing if Maan heard her. Rehaan was alarmed now. Did Maan hurt her? Was she in some problem?
What is it Geet? Are you alright... Did he hurt you? I am just"
Look Rehaan ... I need a favour can you help me? Just some info about some tablets...
Yeah sure tell me... He was eager now... that Geet did call him back that too this late ... for whatever reason it might be... That means Maan might have left her alone... By the looks of Maan he knew...Maan was bit of obsessive lover type...and definitely if he knew she was speaking to him...he wouldn't have let her do so... He thought picking up the pen and paper. Geet called out the anti-depressant pill combinations and name...
Rehaan was silent for a moment... What is it? Do you know about it rehaan? Its bit urgent"
As far as I know Geet its banned... but let me search it in detail... By the way why do you need it...? He was shocked why did Geet need to know about this medicine... the side-effects were dangerous he knew that much but preferred not explaining.
Did you have it?? He asked nervously..
No I didn't but M"my friend had it and she is behaving weirdly... Okay just search but don't call back on this number... I will message you the place to meet ...and discuss about this... She could hear Maan's footsteps...coming down by the stairs...
Give me a week time Geet... by the way do one thing... give it to her again and check the symptoms and email me exactly what you saw... Rehaan instructed her... Geet hesitated for a bit.
It may affect hi-her more maybe?? Geet was scared.
But we need to know Geet... You have to take the risk... Can you do it? I am requesting you as a doctor... Rehaan assured her.
Sure bye She was hurrying, whispering and anxious... She didn't know why she was so nervous about Maan finding about their conversation.
Goodnight Geet...
Goodnight and Thanks Rehaan... You are a great friend... She teared up a bit but cut the call. Rehaan had been a great support post the accident... She turned her eyes meeting his furious ones. Hot boiling jealousy and rage burned in his eyes... His posture and clenched fists everything speaking about the possessiveness he felt about her... Anger mixed with hurt You went to meet him this late? He ground out.
With two long strides he snatched the cell from her hand and threw it on the couch, grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against his hard body. He pressed his body closer to her soft one... He angled his head closer to hers as she bent away...down lower... Finally a low growl escaping his lips...he pressed his mouth down the column of her throat, skimming her throat robbing her off her senses.
An erotic gasp escaped her lips... Hot searing liquid pooling in her gut... A tingly feeling arising everytime and everywhere he touched... Responding to his possessive kiss...'I am yours' The silent words echoed but she didn't admit out loud. He smiled against her throat... realizing he had won.
~~~
Geet cried... Why won't Papa allow her to meet Maan? He knew how much she liked Maan... loved him... Why wouldn't he?
Her innocent tender mind failed to understand Mohinder's fatherly fear... She simply couldn't fathom... That day Mohinder didn't allow her to step outside Handa mansion... The whole day she kept to herself...cooped up in her own room... Remembering her promise to Maan...
She had to go... She had promised him... Was all she could think the whole day... Even her mobile was taken away so that she wouldn't contact Maan...
Each day she would wake up early , pray to God to let her meet Maan and then on breakfast table request Mohinder meet Maan but he went strict day by day. She would then cry herself to sleep skipping her lunch and dinner,...
It was after a week all of it stopped... She stopped pleading... Altogether. Mohinder grew suspicious and worried...
Geet are you alright? He inquired... Her stopping the pleading all of a sudden... it grew an unpleasant feeling inside him...
Yes Papa I am alright... I... Geet hesitated for a bit unsure whether to lie to her Papa as such... It was wrong... But a promise is a promise na... her heart argued...
She sucked up all her breath and began... I want to resume my school Papa... And join my friends' tuition... I am lagging behind a lot... She lied through her teeth and winced...
Okay but are you sure you will be alright on your own... Mohinder was worried...
Yes Papa I will be... She assured, breathing fast and nervous...
That day as she went to her friends' house... Mohinder was with her...
So Anwesha how is your tuition going on... Mohinder inquired. Anwesha as practiced by Geet recited... Its going great uncle...
And then he asked about fees and all... Geet went white as if she had seen a ghost... She intervened...
It is only for a week Papa you don't need to be worried... Fees I will ask sir today... Now you just leave I have to copy my notes... There is so much pending... She ranted.
Okay okay I am leaving na... Take care... He kissed her cheek and left... Geet hugged Anwesha and thanked her and ran off in her bicycle to meet Maan...
Meanwhile in KM,
Each day Maan had to be taken for tests in hospitals... He would wait hopelessly...pining for Geet's single look...her single touch... Yet he wouldn't lose hope... She had promised she would come... He assured himself always...
Finally after a week he gathered the courage to ask Sanjay about Geet... Sanjay snapped
No you are not meeting her and that's final...
Maan trembled with the harshness of his voice... Why?
I said no... That is why... Sanjay said sternly. It was actually Mohinder's decision but he didn't want to create a bad image of Mohinder on Maan...
Maan stepped back numb and shocked... I am just going to walk in the park... He mumbled. Sanjay sighed and just let him be but asked Nakul to follow... Maan just walked to the farmhouse and to his shock... He found Geet pacing around all teary-eyed and worried... Her school bag discarded carelessly on the bed... Nakul saw them together and smiled... Leaving them to their own he ordered the cook to prepare some food.
Sighing contently they hugged , few tears escaping...
Thank you Geet Maan rasped.
It was like their own personal heaven...their own secret hide-out...
Panicking Geet left...scared her father may find out... Maan nodded understanding her restlessness.
I will be waiting for you tomorrow... Maan smiled at her widely...
She nodded grinning and turned around... He held her hand and kissed her cheek... Do bring your books...
She frowned... Why only me? You will have to bring too then... She grumpily said... But he protested but with a glare from Geet he shut his mouth for his betterment.
Fine I will He said assuringly... Geet all peaceful and satisfied left finally... Maan waved at her as she smilingly left with her bicycle still looking back at Maan... The handle swerved and she fell... Maan ran instantly...
You never take care of yourself... He snapped angrily...
Papa will be angry Maan ... Its just a scratch... Leave na... Maan knew if Mohinder got a hint of them meeting he wouldn't get to meet Geet ... Reluctantly he let her go... This time asking her sternly to ride slow and carefully...
She did as he said. Later when Mohinder asked her about the scratch... she just told about the small accident... but not about Maan...
She sighed wondering how many days she could continue this...lying...
