Chapter 5
'Beauty is so pretty, haina bua' Pari was excited to start another story, she loved fairytales especially the ones her bua read. Geet although amused but agreed that Bella was indeed beautiful. Children are so innocent but life was much harder than that right.
'But look at the beast Pari, his so scary and mean just like your mama. Come to think of it he has a beard just like him' Geet chuckled at her own joke. Pari kept pointing and hinting at her bua since mama or shall we say Maan was behind indicating Pari to stop, today he wanted to know what Geet thought of him.
'No Pari I'm sorry I know you love your Mama but his so cold and stupid, who throws food at people like that. What if the food entered someone's eyes, dukh hota na. But no his the royal Maan Singh Khurrana who does what he likes, just what does he think of himself, asking me, me Geet Handa to make him coffee. Come to think of it he never asked me, he commanded me. That budhu, no no beast' Geet who was on her rant suddenly realised Pari making wierd expression and her eyes going big.
'Pari kya hu...' before she could complete she turned around to see Maan standing behind her with big red eyes. This made Geet shoot up from the bed where Pari lay, since she had her back to the door she never saw him coming nor did she hear his footsteps as her anger got the better of her. But now she regretted, all her pent up emotions were let out but infront of him.
'woh main, mai' even before completing she ran to her room, which was the guest room located next to Pari's. Maybe later at night she'll come back to Pari's room and sleep with her but for now she needed to stay away. Maan although was annoyed with her for her words, but couldn't hold back his smile. She was cute, in a wierd way. The way she was scared of him was amusing, at least that was one emotion that was preserved solely for him.
'Geet ma'am apse koi milne ayya hai' informed the servant. Geet quickly walked along the corridor not wanting to see Maan since she didn't know what kind of mood he was in. But what she found unusual was that someone would come this late to meet her, plus who could it be? No one apart from Nakul kaka knew where she was. Could it be Nakul kaka, with that thought she galloped down the stairs feeling very happy. Once she stood at the threshold she realised this was someone else, with broad shoulder's and was soaking wet due to the heavy rain.
'Ji app koun' she questioned moving slightly back getting scared
'Main Dev, Dev Singhania and you must Geet, my fiancee right' he asked smiling breifly. The last couple hours has been mayhem for him travelling from Germany to Hoshyarpur and then to Delhi to meet his fiancee. Who was so pretty according to him, he felt like a fool to miss his own engagement now.
'Oh' was all she could say, she started believing in Naina's word that Dev would never come back but now seeing him in the rain calling her as his only made her forget all his failings.
'Nakul kaka told me you'll be here, I wanted to...'
'Are you here for Raj uncle's ashes' she interupted, her heart going frantic. All her loss came infront of her yet she couldn't stop smiling. Finally she may be able to fulfill her fathers and Raj uncle's dream by marrying Dev. Not marrying him wasn't even an option unless that is if he says no. You can't force someone into a marriage, now can you. Marriages were sacred bonds, holding two indiviauls together and Geet was a firm believer in that.
'Emm yes and i wanted to meet you' he quickly added seeing her turn around but he did manage to grap her attention with the last part of the sentence. They stood there for what felt like ages, until looked Geet looked away in tears.
'I'm sorry you couldn't perform the last rites, we didn't know how to contact you and we didn't know whether you'll ever find out. Isliye verji did it along with papa's but i kept the ashes knowing you'll come back one day' she clarified knowing it must be hard for him but he could see her breaking down with every word she uttered.
'I had to since you were waiting here for me' this made Geet look up towards him, did he also accept their relation that was set up by the people both loved dearly. Dev always did accept this alliance for his father, he loved him but right now he felt something for Geet as well.
'My phone crashed, so I wasn't in contact with dad before the accident. But by the time I fixed it, dad's phone came across switched off which scared me. So I tried really hard to finish off my work in Germany and came here as soon as I could. I was shifted to Germany for couple of weeks for work purpose' he cleared seeing her questioning eyes
'But once I got here, I heard about the demise. I'm sorry' is all he could say seeing her break down in front of him.
'We couldn't call you, the phones were lost during the accident' she filled in him so he knew the answer to his question which she knew was bound to follow. Geet then turned and ran upstairs collecting the ashes and ran downstairs to give him his possession. She felt guilty and hurt but what she felt the most was sorrow but not her but for him. He looked like a man who lost everthing yet holding onto a little bit of hope.
'Thank you' he said turing around, Geet waited for him to go so she could cry her eyes out. Every loss came to the forefront with Dev's entry.
'Erm would you, I mean could we possibly meet tomorrow' he asked her in subtle voice
'ok'
'I'll pick you up at 10am then, be ready and thank you Geet' he felt generally obliged by her thoughfulness and bravery. His father chose the best women for him, that he knew. Now all he had to do was spend some time with her, make beautiful memories and then propose to her formally like any man should. Although Geet was sad but a huge part of her was also happy, really happy. Tomorrow she would go out with her fiancee who her father chose for her. She promised she would try to make this relationship work but after meeting Dev she knew it won't be as difficult since he was a true gentleman, a man with respect and care, a man for her. A man she wanted to be with.
The next day, Geet woke up early smiling ear to ear. She just couldn't believe her luck, not that she didn't feel sad for her father and Raj uncle or feel remorse over Dev's situation. But after experiencing so much sadness, she realised and cherished this new found happiness more which Dev brought her unknowingly.
'Kya hua you look very happy' Anni asked Geet who stood by the window looking at the beauty of nature. Over the weeks Anni realised Geet never smiled ever since she came to came to Delhi, so it felt nice to see her happy.
'His back Anni and I'm going out with him today' she said in a coy voice. Anni knew she was referring to her fiance and Anni was very pleased to know that. Both Geet and Anni were friends, not close friends but friends none the less. Anni never understood why her sister Naina targeted this girl. She mostly didn't like seeing her sister spread so much negativity about man who they didn't know and it was evident now that Geet clearly liked him.
'Theek hai then, I'll get you ready for your date' Anni commanded, looks like asking or requesting wasn't in the Khurrana's blood
'Date' Geet stammered, she never thought it that way. Oh my god, Dev asked her out and she accepted. Now she was hell nervous, she didn't ask her brother for permission, but he was her fiance. But still Geet couldn't stop the butterflies in her stomach nor the worry in her mind.
Geet was in a hurry, it was nearly 10 so she ran down the stairs hoping to see Dev at the driveway. BANG, both Maan and Geet collided with each other, making Geet lose her balance so in reflex Maan quickly caught her to save her from falling. OH boy was that a mistake, Maan who for the first time held a girl felt an unknown emotion but he liked it. Geet however felt uneasy and scared, in her hurry not only did she bump into Maan but also burnt his hand. Maan was walking up the stairs with a hot mug of coffee when Geet collided, so it was expected. Geet detangled herself from Maan and plastered herself to the wall expecting a hard blow, she waited for him to shout or even hit but nothing as such came. Instead she heard 'beautiful' making Geet open her eyes to see Maan staring at her unfazed, they could have continued staring had it not been for Dev who entered the house and called out to Geet. Maan saw Geet walk out along with Dev and something in him just tore.
'Sir your hand is burnt, I'll quickly get the first aid' Adi rushed to the bathroom looking for the ointment once they entered his bedroom
'Hai jhala to mai lekin yaha' Maan spoke to himself stroking his hands over his heart.
Next: Anni-Dev, Maaneet finally talking, suicide and Hosyarpur. Too much happening, I don't think you wanna miss this one.
