Part 40
Five months later
Geet and Maan had a steady relationship from the time Sid and Meera had visited. They had worked together in projects and had gone for dates, outing together. Sometimes it would be group outing with the entire gang together. Sometimes it would be just the two of them away from the prying eyes stealing a moment or two.
Though almost everyone in the gang kind of gueses the true relationship between Maan and Geet they haven't pressured these two to divulge. Everything was smooth and everyone was happy.
Geet had changed for better. A part of her would always yearn for Armaan but she has finally found her happiness in Maan.
It was another usual office day. Geet was working on some report for Maan. Since this report was finance related she was working with Adi. Adi was an amazing senior and Geet was learning a lot from Adi. Office time was almost over when she got a call from Maan. A call from Maan at the end of day means it wasn't a call from her boss but rather a call from her lover.
Geet:" Hello."
Maan:" Hey sweety!"
Geet:" Oh! Are we in some romantic mode or something?"
Maan:" Is that a bad thing?"
Geet:" When did I say that?"
Maan:" Listen, I don't have much time so please don't argue this once."
Geet:" Are you trying to say that I argue all the time?"
Maan:" Shona please!"
Geet:" Fine."
Maan:" Go back to your hostel. At the reception there will be a package for you. Please be ready wearing that. I will come and pick you up in an hour."
Geet:"But Maan..."
However Maan had already cut the call. Uff that arrogant idiot! Geet knew better than to stall knowing Zalim Singh Khurana won't give her a minute extra. Thankfully her hostel was not that far. She collected the package and came to her room. Pari and Naina were not back yet and she had about forty minutes to get ready. She opened the package to find a white net saari. It was a designer one with the blouse and skirt along with few ornaments. Her boyfriend had truly thought about everything. She quickly freshened up and wore the skirt and blouse and started applying make-up. Maan doesn't really like make-up on her but she wanted to look good for him.
Once done with her makeup she decided that she will leave her hair open. She quickly wrapped the saari on and pleated it. Once she had completed the manmoth job of wearing the saari gracefully she wore the beautiful pearl ear rings Maan had gifted her along with the Saari. She also wore some silve bangles to go with it.Taking her purse she came out to find Maan's car parked outside the hostel gates.
Maan was inside. She knew Maan avoided coming out so that nobody could figure out where exactly she was going. With the lavish gift she had thought they would have some lavish party to attend. However Maan brought her to his penthouse.
Geet kept quiet till they were inside but then she thought to speak out. However the expressions in Maan's face stopped her. Maan was watching her with unwavering gaze as he came closer. To Geet it was like a preditor coming to get his prey. Geet slowly took steps backward as Maan kept taking steps closer to her. Soon she felt the wall at her back. She decided to move away but Maan was faster. He encaged her by keeping his both hands at her sides.
Maan had seen the saari at a mall and had decided it was for his Mishty, his Geet. He however was not aware then that his Geet would be looking so utterly ravishing in the saari or his desires would be so untamed.
Taking his one hand off the wall he tucked one of the stray hairs behind her ear so that nothing could block his view. Slowly he used his finger tips to trace a path from behind her ear down her swan like neck till the edge of blouse sleeves. Then he took his hand and placed it at her shoulder tracing a path till it reached the small of her back.
The blouse being a designer one was a tie a knot one leaving most of her back exposed for him to feel. Oh! Touching her bare skin was fueling the fire already burning in him. He pulled her closer till there was almost no space between them. He could see that she was not unaffected. In fact she was blushing and from the way her body was responding with slight tremors he could feel building in her he was sure she was aroused.
That was a great boost to his confidence. His Geet was aroused by him. Geet's hands were on his chest. Maan was sure she could feel how hard his heart was beating. Lowering his head and tilting hers up he asked that question with his eyes he had been dying to ask.
Geet could read his question loud and clear. Even she was thristy. For too long they had denied their physical tensions and desires. Maan had waited for her to be comfortable and she had been too shy to actually confess her needs. Today Maan could read as clearly that she wanted this as much as he wanted.
Without wasting another single moment Maan lowered his lips capturing hers. At first he took both her lips into his but slowly let go off her lower lip. She was as if waiting for him to let go off her lower lip and she started kissing him back. Her hands slowly entangled at the base of his neck while he pulled her even closer so much so that her entire body was plastered to his.
He wanted more from her and used his tongue to probe her lips. She opened her mouth and he plunged in. The sweet essence of her, the taste that was unique of her and her alone...he wanted all that. However their basic need for air made them stop kissing each other and they let go of each other to have that much needed air. Geet was suddenly very shy and hugged him hiding her self from him. Maan chuckled and whispered softly," That was amazing Mishty."
Geet looked up and asked," Mishty?"
Maan:" You see in Bengali, Mishty means sweet. And I know for sure that you my dear are sweet. So you are my mishty."
Geet hit him but she couldn't continue as Maan captured her lips once again for a kiss. This time they both were equally passionate and both their tongues were fighting for dominance. Maan's hand was now lying at her bare waist and he tried to touch her bare skin as much as possible. Geet on the other hand had slowly moved her hand into his hair. Maan's one hand was at her bare back and they kissed like there was no tomorrow. Once again the need of air was the only thing that let them stop. Maan let go of her and stood beside her as they both took deep breaths.
The entire room had only the sounds of their breathing. Both of them had closed their eyes still savoring the feel of each other. Maan slowly took Geet's hands into his and Geet to hold it. Just like that a silent understanding passed that whatever happened was what both of them wanted. They both had taken a step forward in their relationship.
Geet wanted to lessen the tension between them so asked," Maan, why did you bring me here? I thought we were attending some party with all this dressing up."
Maan shook his head. He had just lost track of everything. He was supposed to be surprising Geet yet here he was busy making out. Looking at Geet he noticed that her lips were swollen after his assault and her hairs were disheveled. All he wanted was to take her to one of the bedrooms and have his wicked way but he shook his head to get rid of all the x-rated thoughts out of his sick mind.
Maan:" Why don't you freshen up a bit and then join me on the terrace?"
Geet:" You didn't answer me Maan."
Maan:" Humor me this one day Geet, please."
Uff those puppy dog eyes and Geet melted. Once inside the washroom however all she was reminded of was the moments passed between them. She felt shy suddenly of Maan. She loved him. This was way different from what feelings she had for Armaan. With Armaan things were always so prime and proper. Kisses with Armaan were always like soft, sweet and full of love. And based on the two kisses she just shared with Maan, it would always be passionate and intense where they both fight for dominance. Yes Maan and she had their moments of sweet, lovey dovey conversation but most of the time there was a sexual tension between them that is usually so thick that it could be cut with a knife.
Geet took a deep breath and reapplied her lip gloss and used her fingers to comb her hair. When she felt she was somewhat presentable Geet walked towards the terrace. Once she stepped outside however she was stunned.
The entire terrace was decorated with a banner saying Happy Birthday Mishty'. She had thought Maan did not know of her birthday. Not the case afterall. A table was placed for two with many food items and she could also see a chocolate cake.
Maan was standing near the table with absolutely breathtaking smile on his face.
Maan:" Come on Mishty, we don't want the melting candles to destroy the chocolate cake, do we?"
Geet:" How did you come to know that today was my birthday?"
Maan:" I have my sources sweety."
Geet:" MEER!"
Maan:" Don't blame my sister. It was Tej actually who told me about your birthday. Come on make a wish now."
Geet smiled and closed her eyes. Only one wish came in her mind," God please don't let all this be a mirage again. I don't think I will ever be able to take that kind of pain."
Geet blew the candle and cut the cake as Maan sang Happy Birthday in a total off key singing. Geet lovingly fed him the cake and he did the same in return. Geet smiled and asked," It was a home made cake na? Who prepared it?"
Maan:" Chef Maan Singh Khurana at your service ma'am. The cake, this dinner everything was prepared by me."
Geet:" When on the earth did you find time? "
Maan:" Actually Geet, I kind of took the second half off so I could prepare all these for you."
Geet got a little teary eyed. Nobody had cared for her in this way in a long time. They sat and Geet found that everything was her favorite. She was even more touched that Maan took so much pain to learn and prepare Indian dishes for her which he doesn't even like in the first place.
Maan:" What happened Geet? You look like you are about to cry. Is the food not okay? I mean I am not that good at cooking these dishes so it might happen."
Geet:" Everything is perfect Maan. You are perfect. These, cooking for me, arranging my birthday, it just reminded me of my parents. You see I never really liked celebrating this day since it reminds me of my parents and my parents will always be a sore topic for me. But today I was suddenly reminded of a happy memory. You know before mom and dad were divorced they used to celebrate my birthday and Teji Veerji's birthday like this."
Maan:" Am glad I could remind that everything related to your parents was not a bad thing. Would you mind if I say something? "
Geet:" Nope. "
Maan:" I think you and Tej should go and confront your parents. I mean you both have almost spent your entire life in hostels and now that you are grown up you hardly keep in touch with them. I understand that you don't feel like you owe them anything but they are and will always be your parents. You should talk to them."
Geet:" Are you trying to say that it is wrong for us to hate our parents?"
Maan:" No Geet. You guys don't hate your parents. I mean nobdy can actually hate their parents. You both have some unresolved issues with your parents. Why don't you all talk it out like mature adults? May be your parents also had some things they couldn't explain to under age kids but now that you both are grown up they might."
Geet:" Some wounds never heal Maan. This is one of them. I know you want me to be happy but even you can't find solutions to all my problems."
Maan:" I can always try can't I? You see, I know some wounds never heal. But we should still try healing them. Will you promise me that you will give this idea a thought?"
Geet:" Okay Maan. I promise to give it some thought."
Maan:" That's like my Mishty."
After dinner Maan produced a certificate. It said that Geet had completed her period of internship and is accepted as one of the employees of Khurana Enterprise. Maan told her that everyone else would come to know about all this in few days time but since it was her birthday he wanted to give her the news.
Then he gave her the actual present which was a gift card from make my trip where she can make some round trip within three months from that day. Geet was overwhelmed but also told him that he had already made so much of arrangement for her birthday that he shouldn't have even bothered with a gift. But Maan was adamant and finally Geet promised to use his gift thus earning a beautiful smile from him.
Maan:" So do you think you can give me a return gift?"
Geet:" Depends on what it is."
Maan:" Will you spend this night with me? "
