PART-27
"suno toh.."he called her out as she turned to go without any fuss..She looked at him over her shoulder raising her brows in confusion..
"you're going??"he asked anticipating her reaction which he expected.
"I think Iam..see I moved 2 steps ahead that means Iam going right?"she replied turning to face him completely crossing her arms.."umm...ok..okay..bye.."sighing heavily he faked her a smile but he hasn't moved an inch making her giggle internally.He is damn nervous when she has to be the one...uff everything is reverse in their case..She shook her head chuckling"what maan??" she questioned him surprised at his weird behaviour.
"wont u cry now??"out of no where he asked her.
"what??"she asked amused..Why would she cry n why should she??
"waise toh choti choti baat par ro padthi ho..ab..ab ja rahi ho..atleast hug kar sakthi ho...Iam..Iam nervous"he cutely muttered under his breath as he threw his hands round her waist pulling her in to a bone crushing hug.
Smiling widely she hugged him back with her either arms enclosed around his neck whilst he bent to her level still hugging her..."promise me...no shouting or getting angry ok?"he whispered near her ear before kissing on her cheek
Pushing him away irked with the same chanting she turned to go but then halted at step,turned back to look at him,with a quick peck on his jaw she ran in to the hotel.
"Why am I not surprised maan?"aadi hissed out after a long pause as he heard from maan patiently all the happenings right from geet's identity to her parent's encounter with him.."pata tha mujhe and I was yelling out of my lungs that she wasn't an ordinary girl.."huffing he strode to left rubbing his forehead and then to right in the room..Then he was back taking back his seat opposite to maan who just kept his eyes on lappy screen..."great!!you messed with boss.."he further taunted maan who just shot him glares and then pulled his gaze back.
"Thanku u so much!!I was really expecting this from u"maan prompted back sarcastically leaning on the table clasping his fingers together further supporting himself on elbows.He shared everything with aadi in a hope that he'll lend him some courage and coax him not that he needed one but anyways..It was and is his habit to share everything with his best friend.
"Maan...I just don't know how to react..for sake of your carrier remember he is our boss"Maan wasn't at all shocked he always knew aadi took no risk in life he don't even want him to but atleast he could coax him,assure him that everything's gonna be fine."How I wish nitya's here..atleast she got brains to act right in a required situation.."he muttered to himself.
"Nevermind.."he prompted loudly for aadi passing him a file.."I want u to work with me in xyz project which iam gonna finish with in a month or perhaps even less...The designs are infront of u I just want u to cross check them so that I can proceed further n get on the main task..."Maan blabbered as his fingers worked magically on keys.."wait!!!why are u in so much hurry?as if ur life gonna end today and as far as I remember This project have still 3 months time."aadi querried with a frown as he glanced at the project title yet again.
"Well It had but not anymore..I should get it done with in my one month period of notice iam serving"Maan informed him casually n then shifted his concentration to shocked aadi.
"Yes aadi I had decided this today morning and I put down the papers..Iam serving for only a month to GS software solutions now...so I want to complete my responsibility before I leave.."he shrugged with a chuckle as aadi seemed ready to blast him."what the hell did u just say maan?"
"You already heard me aadi n I was crystal clear"
"Shut up idiot!!what's...what's wrong with u?you gonna leave such a good job for what so ever reason?you didn't had any courtesy to tell me before did u?"He got really angry n raised his voice a little.Only he knew what costed maan to reach the stage he is today.It wasnt at all an easy task for him considering he's intelligent..Afterall some people are not so lucky to get every thing in first try n so Maan.
"Sorry aadi...I..It was.."
"Did yash sir asked u to do so?geet ko pata hai?does she know?"he didnt let maan speak clearly stating his displeasure n disinterest in his explanations.."no!!she don't know..even yash sir..It's not about him it's about me n my self respect.I for some reasons which u know...I cannot n I don't want to work with GSS anymore.."He rose up to feet and stepped a head to reach aadi who just kept quiet probably out of displeasure."Aadi geet apne parents se Milne gayi hai to sort out the issues n misconceptions.She'll be back as she promised me.Trust me aadi Iam going to make everything fine and this is my first step...please try n understand"Finally with a sigh Aadi smiled slightly pressing his hand on maan's."okay..I always trust u!! Chalo Bahut kaam hai..Mein lag jaatha hu phir Kaam mein..sun boss se permission tu hi lega"Aadi blabbered like a some kind of saying as he strode towards the door of the cabin but halted at door step.."Oh yes Mr.khurana!
Next time You decide anything stupid without letting me know..Iam gonna break ur idiotic head of urs..teri intelligent behen nitya bhi bacha nayi payegi tuje.."and he left the cabin.maan shook his head at his best friend feeling extremely lucky to have him.
"Jaan I hope ur fine...Let me know if u want me..and don't be lady hulk ok?"with a smile playing on his lips he pressed send button..With in a second his mobile beeped.
"Call me that again and Iam gonna kill u..."He giggled at angry smiley she sent him.
Before he could type the reply he received another msg."and Iam not ok...completely frustrated!!mom n dad are behaving weird as if nothing has happened...anyways will msg u in a while ok
Bye...
Love u " Maan frowned trying to comprehend her parents mind..May be they don't want to upset her by arguing at once.May be they want to be with their daughter but not with anyother issue...?with a sigh he let go the matter for a while n concentrated on work.
"Sweet heart how do u like this?I tell u this is gorgeous you should take it"geet's mom shoved another yet gown in her hands and when geet showed pure disinterest she turned and got busy with the bunch of clothes placed in front of them..Geet's confused with her behavior.Last night she was almost to kill her n now it's as if she suffered selective amnesia..When she arrived in the morning her parents received her warmly with all the love n was being nice with her pampering her..'Why the hell they're not coming to the point?'that bothered her.Not that she's complaining the way they are coaxing her,she felt to sort the things out first..Also she's still not ready to behave normal with them after knowing the biggest truth of her life.
"Mom..."Geet groaned frustrated finally loosing her patience."What's this bloody drama?"She shouted loudly throwing the gown away from her mom's hands as she knew from her mom's facial gestures that she's gonna ignore the matter again..At the moment yash joined them in the room and signalled all the maids there with a nod to move out.
"Quit raising ur voice geet...and this is not any drama...you need good clothes I see.."Geet huffed in anger which she was holding.."It's your best friends birthday princess...it's meeras's birthday next week bhool gayi?We think it's best time for patch up...as every year u gonna do something special for her won't u?" Yash smiled at her caressing her hair lovingly.
"We are going to start to Mumbai in an hour baby"reshmi declared as politely as she can.
"What makes u think that Iam coming with u?" Geet asked coldly.She was trying hard to hold her tears but failed as she thought 'Great!!The ones who didn't cared a damn about her since a year is deciding what she do n not to do?wow what a parent ' Without a word she picked her clutch n began to walk out when reshmi blocked her way seizing her forearm.
"Enough geet!!! You are coming with me n that's final..Stop being crazy"
"Not me...you are crazy you both are...Iam not going any where away from Maan got it?"Geet screamed loudly that echoed across the room.Reshmi n yash weren't shocked for they knew her temper but what bothered them was it is all for some guy.
"Don't... Don't dad please"she stopped yash from speaking when he tried.."you guys didn't knew rather say tried to know whether Iam alive or dead since a bloody year...Now all of a sudden from no where u find me I don't know why now?And..and you people expect me to accept ur so called secret of urs n behave normal?"yash n reshmi had no answers for they knew they were at fault.Geet wiped away her tears roughly with the back of her hand when a fresh tear escaped from her eye.."Geet..we are ur parents baccha..not enemies...try n understand"reshmi was equally crying with geet n tried to take her in arms but geet outrageously refused lifting her hands in air wanted to be away from her..
"How convenient was that!!!parents...?huh!!"she mocked a chuckle sniffing.
"What more do u want us to do geet? Hold ur feet for forgiveness?"reshmi asked after a pause.
"I want to be with Maan..I..I love him..I want to marry him spend every second of my life with him that's it!!In short I want u to leave me alone atleast now uptil I could digest n accept ur secret of life"Her last sentence again held mocking.Reshmi now understood she's crazy for Maan.
"Princess the guy is just..."
"Maan...It's his name dad"
Yash sighed heavily not able to believe the fact that some guy is suddenly so important for her. She loves him more than her parents?well it's them who let her suffer coz of their secret.."okay...Maan.baby he is just an employee in our firm..well that's not an issue..how can u trust him blindly?I mean we don't even know what sort of a man he is...how can u expect us to get u marry with that guy...ermmm Maan"He explained his pov patiently not wanting to spoil her already bad mood.
"The same way u r expecting me to accept ur truth..dad I know him.I know what all I have to know..He was there for me when u weren't..He loved me the way Iam,he shielded me when I was all alone..He is so good dad..He loves me so much!!I will be happy with him"she uttered as she held yash's hands pleading him to understand her.Yash never refused to give her anything n now he couldnt decide what to say so he remained quiet feeling helpless.
"I don't know what happened to u geet..Do u know what u are asking us?do u know who u are?"reshmi neared geet making her face her n caressed her cheek."He may love u,probably keep u happy but how can love alone let u live ur life without any problems?especially the way ur lifestyle was...He may be a good earner but...but can he afford to give u everything u want?can he take u to Switzerland or anywhere instantly like ur dad did?tell me what can he give u let alone that love of urs for a while?how can u so stupidly decide to marry anyone?"
Geet huffed pressing her eyes tight for she knew it's waste of time now moreover she didn't wish to explain..She didn't want to talk to her now.
Geet didn't shout but shot her a cold blank look.
"Mom just a question..When dad can marry the one he loved n keep it a secret for years why cant I love the guy who did each n everything for me?"
"Or else Dad ke liye special rules just becoz he is a tycoon??"Her tone held sarcasm yet anger.She was patient all the while listening their accusations for her Maan.If Maan wouldn't have made her swear she would have broken everything over there.
"You know what just forget it!!I don't want to give any explanations"she quietly picked her clutch lying on floor n walked out.."Please leave me alone!!"she muttered to yash and then she's gone!!!
Maan stepped in to his flat and locked the door behind.He wondered why geet hadn't called him or messaged him.He assumed her to be staying with her parents to night after all they met after a long time."she can atleast leave me a msg..hamesha aise hi karti hai.."he mumbled..He thought to give a final try in a hope that she'd take his call..When he heard some weird sound he followed the direction and found her vibrating mobile lying on couch..'silent mode'he concluded that's the reason she didn't take his calls..wait where's she?
He didn't find her in her room not even in kitchen..With not so good vibes he rushed to his room n she's not there.He decided to enquire at the hotel n when he was about to leave the room he heard soft sobbing sounds from the balcony.
"Geet..."He called her out which was more like a gasp..Her tear stricken face,her red nose n puffy eyes peirced his heart.."you ok?"cupping her cheeks he wiped away her tears.It was evident that she's been crying from long.."Jaan kya huwa?Did u had a fight with ur parent's?what exactly had happened tell me...did u talk to them?"He hurriedly shot questions finding her sobbing.
"I dont wanna talk to anyone kahi Nahi jaana mujhe...kisi se baat Nahi karni muje..."she spoke in hiccups burying her face in his neck.."okay...okay calm down stop crying first please..." She hugged him wrapping her hands round his waist as he cocooned her tightly in his arms.
