Part 13
Maan turned away from Geetafter expressing the words which his heart wanted to say. He was about to ascend the stairs when suddenly a gentle grip developed on his hand, and it didn't take long for him to realize that it was his love stopping him.
With slow movements Maan turned around to glance at Geet, whose eyes were misted but with happiness unlike the pain which clouded her eyes, and came down as the tears of anguish.
Geet suddenly enveloped Maan in tight embrace of hers, while it took Maan by shock. For Maan it was one of those dreams which always haunted him after he tortured Geet in the name of a silly revenge.
Geet pulled out from the embrace, which was not reciprocated by Maan due to the shock which Geet gave him. For him, it was a dream once again but it was the time when dreams met the reality.
When true love blooms, eyes speak the language of love more than mouth and silences express more than words ever can.
Geet forwarded the stone-studded intricately carved out box of vermillion placed in her hand towards Maan, whose eyes were tracing her shivering form with eyes misted with love and remorse.
" Make me yours again, by filling my partition, Maan." Geet's gazes voiced out to Maan, while Maan's eyes only asked questions.
He took the lid of the box from her other hand to close it, but refusal was what he got. Geet nodded in negative, while her body language and her respect filled eyes, pleaded him to make her his, forever with her acquiescence this time.
Thousands of emotions were resulting thousands of colors in Maan's eyes. There was pain that he hurt her, there was guilt that he used her for the revenge game. Then there was anger whose victim he himself was. But above all these emotions, there was just love which he had for her and which Geet started feeling for him not a long time back.
Maan's eyes still asked her questions but a certain determination on her face made him give in to her demands. The windows to his heart were still open towards only her, waiting for the refusal which never came. His hand slowly yet steadily reached up to the vermillion-filled box and took a pinch of vermillion.
Tadeva lagnam sudinam tadeva, tarabalam chandrabalam tadeva
vidyabalam daivabalam tadeva, lakshmipateh teghriyugam smarami
Red was no longer the sign of pain or of anger but now it was the color of their love, their feelings which run deeper than their blood and those emotions which will keep them alive.
As Maan filled her partition, marking her as his with his love and affection, a genuine smile adorned her lips after what seemed like ages. Maan had been the cause of her tears for 1 month but now she knew that he will be the sole reason of her smiles for a lifetime.

Gupta Mansion, India
" Uncle, Geet is falling for that stupid Khurana's threats. I am sure that Geet would never agree to be there by her own will." Karan said as raw possessiveness took over him, being a very possessive guy.
" What do you expect Karan Beta? Khuranas are not the ones to be trusted. If their work is not done, they are ready to go on the crooked way too. And who knows them better than me, a person whom they betrayed?" Shashi said as the memories of the dark past brought wincing pain to his heart.
" Uncle, we need to rescue Geet by hook or by crook from there. God knows what tortures that Devil is inflicting on my Geet." Karan said who was actually concerned for Geet, and never thought anything bad for her.
" Rescuing her can happen only when we get the Maan Singh Khurana away from our path or else the fear of him torturing her or us will prevent her from taking help from others." said Shashi, while sipping the stringent and intoxicating wine from his glass after intently staring at it.
" But how will we do that Uncle? I mean Maan Singh Khurana is the biggest business tycoon of India and he has the tightest security measures, which are next to impossible to be cracked." explained Karan, who had done his R&D about Maan before reaching India.
" Leave that to me, Beta. Soon Maan Singh Khurana will become a history to payback what he has done to my daughter." vowed Shashi Gupta, while gulping down the champagne.

Maan's Farm House,
" You have no idea, how happy I am, Geet! I am feeling as if I won the entire world and I am feeling as if even if I die at this moment I will not be sad." said Maan to which Geet gasped and stopped him by placing her slender and artistically crafted fingers on his lips.
Maan held the same fingers resting on his lips and placed a butterfly kiss on them, while eying at Geet with desire. Who said that desire was not a part of their love?
One look of Maan's and Geet's insides somersaulted and butterflies and what not fluttered in her stomach. An alien feeling took over her but whatever it was, it was pleasurable and memorable for her.
Seeing the hindrance visible on Geet's face, Maan held both her hands in his own and spoke with love,
" I am ready to wait for you for eternity Geet. So if you are not comfortable with anything, please let me know. I have caused enough pain for you to last for this lifetime, now I only want to see happiness glistening in your eyes, due to me."
Overwhelmed by Maan's words, Geet hid herself in his arms by hugging him tightly while this time, Maan reciprocated the hug with a rare smile gracing his lips, completing their first hug of love.
Maan caressed her hair with fondness and placed a gentle kiss on her hairs, as she smiled at her destiny which was intertwined with him, unknown of the storm that was going to shatter their lives again.
What were Shashi and Karan planning? Will they succeed in their plans?
Will Maan and Geet's love story end before Geet's 'I Love You'?
