Who said Geet does not love Maan anymore? Did I anywhere mention it? No I did not and Geet very much loves Maan. She has not forgotten her love for him but just like the accident and her miscarriage everything is locked inside. Her mind and heart are only trying to protect her. They do not want Geet to suffer more as they think with Maan she will only suffer pain. There's a limit for her suffering had she crossed tat limit and now her brain and heart only wants to protect Geet. As you can remember and if not go to the chapter 1 where Geet was talking to her parents. She was crying out her pain and Rano was asking her to cry more and more which means tat she had broken down earlier in front of her parents but not in front of Maan. Her heart and mind has taken so much pain and when they sensed Maan after a year they blocked Geet feelings on the incident. They forced her to lock her pain and hurt and hence she was smiling and talking with Maan and in this her love for Maan has taken a back seat but she loves him. She knows she loves him and signing the divorce papers yaar when you see your father cry and when your own heart and brain are against you wat you can do and as far as hating Maan..god I can't say much coz I do agree he is wrong but sometime you are so helpless you just don't know wat to do but I will not ask you to stop hating Maan.
And god.. why can't some readers just understand simple language. Yaar Geet does not have any memory loss or partial amnesia. Yaar it's so disturbing when I read comments even after I cleared tat she remembers everything but she chooses or say her mind and heart chooses to to say a word about it... its not memory loss. God I don't know how to explain more on this.
And about Mohinder and Rano not knowing about Geet's mental state, yes they are not aware right now but you just have to wait for them to know and how they take it or say how Mohinder takes it.
About a month later...
Geet smiled sipping her tea. She had successfully sealed the deal and the moment they had finished the long stressful meeting she asked her team to leave as she was waiting for Vicky to pick her up. She was away, far away from the city as the client of hers had set up the meeting in this hill side hotel. She sighed thinking about the route back which passed through thick forest and lone roads and it was getting late. She had called Vicky and he said tat he was on his way back and now his mobile wasn't working. Whenever she tried to call it would say not reachable and this was her 5th tea and she was angry now.
Would you like something else madam? Geet heard the same waiter who served her teas. Something to eat.
Yes. A sandwich packed and the bill please. The waiter nodded and left to get her packed sandwich and the bill as requested. Geet thanked the waiter and the manager who just passed besides her and quickly walked out of the Hotel not wanting to stay a minute there. She was feeling suffocated now after the long hours of work and thinking tat fresh air would help her she stepped out. The meeting had taken a lot of time and had given her a slight headache but she was excited to meet Vicky and have a roadside dinner before they head back to city.
Kaha ho Vicky.. its so late. She murmured to herself and walked along the road.. The sun was setting down and she just stood and stared at the beautiful sight of the evening. It's so beautiful na...I just love it.. par Vicky.. grrr Vicky where are you. She fished out her mobile from her bag and called Vicky but he did not receive even after the ring. May be drive kar raha hoga.. tum bhi na Geet..kaha tha na Vicky ne tat he is closer.. so just calm down and enjoy the evening breeze and she continued to walk enjoying the time. She always loved walking in such atmosphere.
Geet. Geet was startled and jumped in fear as she heard her name. She was so lost tat she did not see where she was walking. Geet.. are you ok..
Who.. Maan. She stilled the moment she turned and saw who called her. Its you... you scared me Maan.
Sorry. He studied her for few seconds. He had been driving back from when he saw a figure similar to Geet and when he neared her he was shocked and surprised to see her walking all lost. Where are you going?
Going? She looked confused. Na na.. main jaa nahi rahi hoon.. just walk kar rahi hoon. She smiled telling him wat she was doing.
But its getting dark.. you should head inside your room Geet. Geet looked at him with confusion again. Kya dekh rahi ho..jao.. its not good to be walking alone.
But m not staying here.
Wat do you mean not staying? He almost hissed at her. Tum pagal ho kya.. chalo ander chalo.. go inside you room and rest. Akeli aayi ho kya..
Maan listen to me please. And he softened his expressions. I was here for a meeting.. subah aayi thi but meeting der tak chali and I send my team away.
Sent them away..kyu. It was Maan's turn to be shocked and confused now. Why?
Coz Vicky is coming to pick me up. Vicky's name did not have any reaction in him and he laughed at his own miserable heart. There were no emotions and tears now. I had called him and he said tat he is half the way but thode der pehle call kiya tho he did not pick my call.
Phir se karo. He wanted her safe and even if Vicky was coming he would not leave her until he saw her safe with him. Call him again. And she did but frowned when the call did not go through. Kya hua..
Call hi nahi lag raha hain. She pouted like a small girl. Shayad out of coverage area ho.
Let me try. He dialed Vicky's number on his phone and heard the message tat it was out of coverage area. Hmm.. tats right.. so now wat.
Aap chaleye main wait karti hoon. Maan glared at her. Maan main theek hoon and Vicky will be reaching anytime na.
Chalo. He grabbed her hand and dragged her towards his car even though she continued telling him she was fine and safe but he did not hear a word from her. Shut up Geet. He narrowed his eyes when she refused to sit inside the car. You said Vicky is half way through na.. so we'll meet him in between.. now sit and let me drive us. She nodded with a smile but frowned when he did not return it back. Maan walked across the car and took his driver's seat but instead of going towards the city he drove towards the car. She wanted to ask but then just sat and then he suddenly stopped the car, climbed out and walked inside the hotel and soon was back with a small bag.
Kya hain. She asked the moment he settled back. Maan why did you go inside the hotel again?
For this. He pulled the coffee and packed sandwiches. Eat.. its very cold and I can see you freezing.
Aap kitne ache ho na. He just nodded. No words or expressions would pass through him now. He was dead the very moment she removed her mangalsutra and the rings and gave him. Aap bhi peelo na.
No I'm fine.
Ok. She bites into the sandwich. You did not tell me why are you here?
There was a small dispute on my land.
Aapka land.
Haan... There a river behind the hotel.. just 5 kms away and it belongs to me but I sold it to the hotel coz they wanted to have boating included so there was some legal dispute..something tat I had to deal with. She nodded and kept munching on her sandwich and drank her coffee. Its solved now but when I was returning I saw you walking all lost.
I wasn't lost ok.. main tho walk kar rahi thi.. you know na I love walking in the evenings. He did not say anything just kept driving and then there was complete silence.
Call Vicky. She suddenly jumped on her seat hearing his voice. Don't stare at me... We are driving for almost an hour now.. Call him. She nodded and tried to call and luckily this time his phone worked and he talked to her but Maan could feel her frowning and pouting as if she was angry. Kya hua. He asked the moment she cut the call. Geet.
He lied to me.
Wat..
He did not tell me his car broke down coz I would be worried. He was sure tat he would manage to get it repaired but nahi ho raha hain. Maan was angry. How stupid can Vicky be but he did not say anything. He stopped the car and dialed Vicky's number and talked to him asking him where he was and in which garage he was. Vicky gave him some name and thanked him for helping Geet. Kya hua..
He gave some garage name..lets drive and see if we can find him. Geet nodded and Maan started the car again but just after thirty minutes drive his car suddenly stopped and refused to start again. I'll check. And he climbed out of the car.
Kya hua. Geet was bored sitting inside so she slowly got out and watched him doing something with the car. Maan kya hua.. aapki bhi car karab hui kya Vicky ki tarah.
Hmm..
Kya hmm.. main kuch pooch rahi hoon Maan.
Shut up Geet. She glared and hit his shoulder. Geet..
I know my name is Geet but you tell me wat happened to the car.
It broke down and I don't think it will start again.
You mean we are stuck. She gave a look to her surroundings and jumped closer to him. Its so dark.. koi deekh bhi nahi raha hain.
Let me try calling Vicky. And Maan got his mobile but luck wasn't on his side. There was no network. He asked Geet to check her phone and she too did not have any network. He cursed his car and himself and then seeing Geet staring at him he smiled. Don't worry.. main hoon na baba.
Hmm. She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around her. She was scared of darkness and Maan knew it and this time he hugged her wanting to comfort her. Its dark and m scared.
I know. He cupped her face after unwrapping her hands. I'm there and I will make sure you are not scared ok. She nodded and he asked her to stand while he locked the car and luckily when he felt his car giving problem he pulled it to the side and now there would not be any problem for anyone. Lets walk and see if we get any help ok. She once again nodded as he wrapped the jacked around her. He knew it would be late for him so he had carried it with him.
Where are we going Maan.. yaha tho kuch nahi hain. She walked holding his hand. Maan..
Deekhte hain na kuch tho hoga and then suddenly he smiled. There I can see some light. And he pointed towards a source of light. Geet smiled and tugged his hand harder. Let's see if we get some help. Raat bhi bhaut ho juki hain.
Hmm... but hold me ok.. bahut andhera hain yaha. And he held her hand tight. He knew he had no right to hold her but he had to coz she was with him and he would kill himself to protect her. Wat if they don't give us a place to stay?
Dekhte hain. And they walked towards the small house. Geet frowned seeing it all lonely but only a small source of light illuminating inside. She was about to open her mouth to say something when Maan suddenly knocked and in no time a middle aged couple opened the door. We need a place to stay?
Are you married? Maan stilled. It was like a sword cutting through him and drawing all the blood. Are you husband and wife?
Yes we're married and our car broke down. Maan hardened himself. Phone ka network bhi nahi chal raha hain tho aap hume thodi jagah denge raat guzaarne.
Hmm. The man opened the door. But paise lagega saab. Maan did not get offended. He pulled his wallet and handed few thousands notes and seeing the man object for so much money Maan smiled at him and asked him to keep. They soon were shown a room with a single bed.
You take the bed while I sleep on the floor. Maan said removing his tie after making sure the door was locked. Geet.. wats wrong. He asked seeing her staring at him. Geet.
You are not used to sleeping on floor. Maan narrowed his eyes. You take the bed, I sleep on floor ok.
Tum pagal ho. He grabbed her by her shoulders before she would walk away. Its so cold and you think of sleeping on the floor. chup chap bed per so jao.. mujhe kuch nahi hoga.
Hoga na. She glared at him. Aapko back pain hoga. You remember once we were stuck like this and then we both slept on a floor and next day you had a horrible back pain. Maan smiled. She had clearly remembered tat day. They had taken a day out and had just gone out of the city and while coming back their car broke down and had to take shelter in a small hut. So you take bed ok.
Geet. He cupped her face. I will manage Jaan.. seriously I will...
Ok.. then we both sleep on bed.
Geet. He tried to argue but she stopped him. We can't..
I know but there's no other option Maan. She blinked her eyes. I can't let you sleep on the floor na so we both share the small bed ok. He wanted to argue and ask her to stop talking silly things but probably this would be his last chance to hold her close on a bed and look at her all night. Maan..
Ok. She smiled and after placing her bag on the chair she made the bed using the bed sheet and the pillows. You are taking the left side na. Geet nodded and gave him a smile.
You remember. Maan settled not wanting to tell her tat he remembers every single thing about her. Maan kya hua..
Its quite late Geet.. sleep now. He said and wishing her goodnight he turned his back towards her and tried to sleep but sleep was not his friend. Ever since last one year it had been his enemy and troubled him to an extent tat he started to fear to even close his eyes and unlike Maan Geet was fast asleep after few minutes.
Jaan.. he knew tat she was sleeping but still he did not want her to know tat he was going to sit and stare at her whole night. Jaan...you sleeping. He waited for her to say something but when she did not say a word he just smiled and slowly touched her face. You still look like my baby Geet.. you know I used to call you baby Geet coz you slept like a kid. He giggled to himself. He had been amused to seeing her sleeping like a baby and since then he used to tease her. Even after their heavy love making she used to snuggle to him but sleep like a baby not even aware of him staring at her. I wish I could keep you safe Jaan.. but Maan tho haar gaya na. He did not cry. He just wanted to talk to her even if she could not hear him right now. Maan tho sab kuch haar gaya but you will get everything Jaan.. sab khushi milegi tumhe...I know Vicky is a nice man and he will love you like anything..but promise me tat you'll not forget me.. dil mein thodi se jagah dena mujhe Jaan.
You'll give na Jaan. He slowly held her hand in his and kissed it so softly tat even he doubted it. I know you'll be busy with your new life but thodi jagah de dena mujhe Jaan... dil akela hoga na mera.. kabhi kabhi yaad bhi kiya karo ok. Pata hain. He suddenly smiled. Once you said tat you'll never leave me.. and trust me Jaan you are not leaving me ok..its me who is letting you go so please give me a small place in your heart so tat I know you are happy.. so tat I can feel your heart beating like always.. its always music for me na.. tum na meri angel ho and will always be. He kept talking to her as she was hearing. He shared so many incidents about their togetherness and he even talked about their suhaagraat where she was so scared tat she even threatened him she will sleep in the washroom if he gives pain to her while making love. It was a hell lot of time for him to make her understand tat first time it will pain a little but his Jaan was so scared tat she had slapped him for the first time on their suhaagraat but after tat she had herself initiated making love and Maan had taken care of her like a baby.
I love you Jaan.. you now tat na..I'll always love you. He caressed her face and suddenly he bends down and almost touched her lips but stopped realizing wat he was doing. Don't I have the right Jaan? He asked her. Ek last kiss tho kar saktha hoon na.. I know I should not do this but aaj ke baad I will never have you so close to me na.. so please forgive me for kissing you Jaan. And he slowly placed his lips on hers. It was so soft and he did not even believe he was kissing her but the feel of her soft lips was everything he wanted to savor for the lifetime. He just let his lips stay like tat for few minutes and when he felt he could not hold himself he pulled himself away and sat watching her for the whole night. It was like he was never ever going to see her. Her angelic face, he wanted to capture it and for tat he pulled his phone out and captured her sleeping form in so many angles tat someone might tat he was crazy but right he was coz he knew he had lost his Jaan and this was a moment tat the god had bestowed upon him even after his sins. I love you Jaan.. I love you ever and forever. And he just sat watching her again.
*****
How are we going to contact Vicky Maan? Geet asked catching up with him. They had left the couple's house and were right now walking on the road. Maan.. wat will we do now?
Lift lenge. Geet frowned. She never enjoyed taking lift coz she felt it was too risky. Nahi tho wait karna hoga... you see until Vicky finds us.
Tats better. He smiled. He always chided her of useless tensions she would take but she would never ever change on it. Vicky ka wait... hey there is he.
Geet. She rushed leaving Maan and hugged Vicky while Maan just stood where she left him and watched them talked to each other. Thank you Maan. Vicky and Geet walked up to him and thanks. I seriously did not know my car would be causing such a big problem yaar.
It's ok Vicky. Geet smiled at Maan. It was not a problem for me.
But fate dekho.. hum dono ki car break don hogayi. Maan raised his brows in confusion. I drove the moment my car was repaired and I did not think anything else.. so by the time I crossed much distance I saw you car parked on the road and I realized you both also suffered... aur tabse mein tum dono ko dhoondh raha hoon.. Seriously where the hell were you both staying.
A couple's house. Maan answered. I'm sorry but there was no other option. Raat bhi ho juki thi and I just could not let Geet stay out. Vicky smiled understanding. But wat did you tell Mr. Handa? He must be worried na.
Haan Papa ko kya kaha tumne Vicky? Geet asked in tension. He must have tried to call me?
I lied. Kya karta haan. He continued seeing them glaring at her. How could I tell him tat you were with your ex-husband haan.. so maine jhoot bola saying tat my car broke and we took refuge in a couple's house and when he asked me about you I said you were in washroom and tired.
Did he agree? Vicky grinned.
Yaar main Vicky hoon so I know how to charm people ok. Geet rolled her eyes. Chalo now let's go warna Mohinder Handa rescue team bhej dega tere liye. She giggled and slapped his hand. Maan..
I would manage Vicky..
C'on.. tats not fair ok.. you can take lift from me and then send someone to collect your car... Right Geet.
Haan.. kal raat meri itni madad ki so now we should help him na. So you Maan Singh Khuranna no ifs and buts coz you are coming with us. And she grabbed his hand and walked behind Vicky towards his car.
Haan tho. Vicky said without turning. Ab dusri shaadi hone ka baad thodeye apni ex-wife ko help karega MSK.
Dusri Shaadi. Geet stopped and looked at Maan. Are you getting married again?
Oh.. I did not know you were unaware Geet? Vicky stopped as he realized they were not following him. Main bhi sure nahi hoon.. I just heard someone speak tat Maan Singh Khuranna is getting married to Ria Chopra, the designer. Vicky looked at Maan with a smile. Are you Maan?
Yes.
