On the other hand in the confinement of his office , he thought about the photographs and called Alisha ,"How dare you tricked me , how dare you try to create rifts between me and my wife through that imbecile brother of hers , I won't leave you ", he threatened her . While she spoke nonchalantly , "I don't know what you are talking about ...Oh I remember you mean those photographs well what about it , that was only a little trick I did to show what I can do , I got a few interesting facts about you , hmmm ...lets see like you were forced when you were young was it ...tsk tsk poor Maan he shows hes tough but inside hes just a scared little boy .Imagine your wife knowing about that "."How can you prove it , do you have anything and I know my wife won't trust the likes of you ", he said confidently , "And now after your little stunt you pulled say goodbye to your career ", he disconnected the call by threatening her. Alisha was dead scared , she knew what he was capable of but it was too late. Next she knew she got a call from her sponsors and her career was gone . She was enraged now ,"You will pay dearly for this , you took what was dear to me , now you will face the same , I will take away your wife and hide her where you won't be able to find her ever ", she promised herself .
Maan returned home , but as soon as he opened the door he was greeted by the sight of a smiling Geet , she hugged him ,which surprised him . Then he heard her sobs,"I am sorry , I know what you went through , it must have been so hard on you , but my dad is innocent , I have all the proofs ", saying this she forwarded the papers. Maan on the other hand shuddered thinking she knew but his fear was replaced by anger and he grabbed her tightly ,"So you know and now what you are pitying me , thinking I'm a lost boy who is scared , then let me tell you I'm not and you can't fool me ", but this time Geet was not scared she confronted him boldly ,"I m not scared of you anymore , if you still don't believe me then please have a look at them after that I will not stop you from doing anything ". Maan was dumbfounded with her confidence and then looked at the papers in his hand, he felt his head spinning ,guilt ate him, to have troubled her and he started moving away from her ,"Go away , I will tarnish you as well like the way I am , go away I free you from this relation ", and the next moment he was overwhelmed with emotions he hid all these years .
But Geet cradled him in her arms and he cried for the first time in his life , Geet now understood how much he has suffered and vowed to never leave his side. "I am sorry, forgive me ", he said after reading the proofs realizing his mistake . "Maan , I have always loved you , it was not your fault anyone in your place would have thought about revenge , I'm happy you believed me , now let's forget the past and start afresh ". Maan just looked at her unable to believe that he has finally found the happiness he has been waiting for and hugged her , "You are right Geet, I m so happy to have you in my life , I knew you were the only light I could turn to in this darkness, Sara was always right "."Sara , who is she ". "My only friend she always tried to tell me that you can not be wrong but I never trusted her but my auntie she filled all this in my mind but why , I promise I will punish everyone who have misled me , we will start afresh from now on", he smiled God knows after how many years he was finally happy with his love .
Maan woke up the next morning only to see Geet smiling widely at him , carrying a tray full of breakfast with her . He looked at her and smiled , "What is this ?", he asked eying the tray in her hand . She grinned ,"I made you breakfast ". Maan was stunned and eyed the contents warily, he did not wanted to sound rude but he could not make out the contents so he excused himself by leaving for the washroom . Geet waited patiently and as soon as he came out asked him to join her ,"When did you learn to cook ...Umm ...is it palatable ?",he asked unsure looking at the contents . She pouted hearing that ,"I went through all the trouble to make you this", she pointed at the white thing there ,"Pasta , and here you are mocking my efforts ", she complained . He felt bad for hurting her again ,"I am sorry , I did not mean to hurt you , okay lets have this ...umm ...I mean pasta", he said eating the gooey thing , he was sure after having the first bite it was the worst thing he has ever tasted but seeing her hopeful eyes he did not have the heart to tell the truth so he gulped it down and said ,"It is really tasty ", her grin widened and she jumped in excitement like a small child ,"I am so happy you liked it ".
"Would you like to go somewhere to dine in the evening ", He smiled. "Really you will take me out ", she said gleefully. "Yup , before that you can go for some shopping in the afternoon if you like , the driver will be there he will escort you to the mall , take the card with you ", he said giving her a new card .She looked at it and was surprised to see the card was on her name ,"This is ...but how ?", she looked at him ."I bought it for you so you can ...", He tried to find the right words. "Thank you , you did so much for me ...Maan there is something I was going to ask you ..but ", She asked hesitatingly not wanting to hurt him."What is it Geet ?". "I wanted to know about your past if you don't want to share it its okay I mean I just thought..."
"Its Okay I will tell you ...Our family was the richest once ...but then one day my parents died, everyone said my father died drunk, but trust me Geet, my father never took an ounce of alcohol in his life. My mother died soon after, my younger sister Anvesha, was sent to one of our relatives abroad and she is fine there, and after that I was taken by his friend Ayesha auntie , Sara is her daughter my only friend . Auntie helped me but she told me that the reason for my family's misfortune was your father , she even said the reason they sent Anvesha to live in another country so she could not be forced into prostitution by your father and being a child who was lost at that time I blindly trusted her .I decided to avenge my father but then I was only 16. I could do nothing , one day I was told that I was to go to some place and a man escorted me there I did not know that I was sold to him and then I was taken to a room", He started to shiver by now thinking about that dreadful night but Geet held him and then he gained the courage to speak again."After I entered that room, the door was locked from outside, a..and", He shuddered .
"Maan if you are not okay with it please stop", She said but he nodded in negative and continued,"I was held by a woman...s..she was scantily d..dressed and she pulled me and slapped me when I tried to protest, she tore my shirt and was almost successful in molesting me but luckily my cries reached outside and her servant, he came and hit her so she was unconscious and he helped me escape", He paused. "And then", She asked her own body shivering but she stayed strong for him. "I returned home and that night I was beaten by Ayesha auntie in her drunken state I was scared and pleaded that I will be good, but she tried to drag me out of her house and ...she tried to harm me like that older woman too, but then Sara saved me . She hid me in her room and the next morning Ayesha auntie apologized to me , saying she is sorry and was not in her right senses, I thought may be she was right. I took a lot of time to trust her again but she was the only thing close to a family I had so I forgave her much to Sara's disappointment. Then I rebuilt my empire once I was capable enough and took the wrong means but was surprisingly freed from those bad people without any interest for their favors , in between all this I met you and I never lied when I said that I loved you since then only Sara knew about my feelings towards you and she was happy for me , but auntie said your family was the cause so I decided to torture you so your family will die seeing you suffer , I am sorry I did not for once checked the facts ", he stopped and looked at her ."Do u remember the face of the old lady who ..f..forced you we could file a complaint ", she asked . "No , I don't I was so scared that I don't remember anything ", he told her . "Its okay now go and get ready or you will late for your office, forget about the past lets make a bright future ahead ", she said assuringly . "I would like to meet your sister sometime, does she remember you", She asked. "Yes she calls me, she was happy when I told her we were married but complained that she was not invited. She's a mother now. She was married last year, I attended her marriage secretly", He told her."I hope we all are happy as a family soon. And as for the shopping,I will go tomorrow, I will need some groceries and other things, so for today, I would like to clean my house", She said. "Alright as you wish", Maan conceded.
Maan got ready to go to his office, Geet gave him his necessary things, it made him happy. He was leaving but Geet surprised him by kissing his cheek, "Have a good day".

"Geet if you are not comfortable, you don't hae to push yourself", He said but Geet shut him, "I have always loved you Maan, so there is nothing that I wouldn't do for our happiness". Maan was really happy but something in him made him scared too . "What if he loses this happiness too".She thought about what Maan told her surely she would have done d same if she was in his place but like Sara she also doubted this Ayesha auntie of his . She shrugged off her thoughts and decided to make him happy, as she was doing her chores she got a call from Maan, "Geet, I'm sending some people do let them in". "But", before she could complete the call was disconnected,"Great this is one thing I want to change about him, at least give the full details but then why would the great MSK do that". She heard the doorbell and opened it still cribbing. "Hi Geet," A middle aged woman greeted her. "Hello...if I'm not mistaken, you are famous designer right, wow great how did you know my name and how come you are here", She spoke in a breath. The woman Leah smiled, "You are as beautiful as your husband described you to be. Consider me as your fairy godmother , for today I'm here to get you dressed up for a beautiful evening date with your husband as he requested me.""Maan asked you too, thank you", Geet smiled happy to get her husband's love. "Oh dear you need not thank me he is like my own child, I m really happy he got a true life partner like you, please take care of him child he has faced too much", Leah said holding her hands. "Yes, I will", Geet assured not knowing what is in store for her. Leah dressed up Geet beautifully for that evening and afte sometime Geet was escorted by the driver to the place where Maan arranged their diner date.
Maan was waiting for her and as she entered he was spellbound with her beauty with the innocence which always made her glow . He came towards her and forwarded his hand which she took gladly. He escorted her to the diner table he set up for them. "You did not have to do so much Maan, but honestly, I'm really speechless by all this", She said overwhelmed. "Shh..Geet, I don't to ever see you crying again, I will try to wash away the pain I gave you in my madness", He spoke wiping her tears. Maan had arranged a beautiful dance floor for them and when the music started he escorted her and like the first time they danced gracefully, not knowing this was their last dance.

They were lost in their world unknown to the storm which was approaching them. They were very happy and enjoyed their evening. Maan got down on his knees and held out his hand, "Geet, I know , I haven't been the ideal husband till now but please will you give me another chance to make you happy, a chance to make our future brighter. I promise you will be the only one whom I loved in the past, will love now and also in the future. I want to grow old with you. Will you accept me", He asked. She smiled, "Always Maan, you will be the only one". They smiled, hugging each other, not knowing how soon everything they have will be put to the biggest test of life.
They came back to their house and Geet pecked Maan shocking him,"Thank you, I was really happy".
Maan pulled her closer and looking into her eyes he kissed her they shared their very first kiss and one thing led to another and they ended up making out but before they could go further, Maan separated himself and looked at his blushing wife. "I'm sorr...", before he could complete she put her palm to stop him and looked down hugging him giving her silent acceptance. Maan was really happy praying for his each day being this beautiful, while Geet was really happy being loved by her husband. They slept in each others arms dreaming of the beautiful life ahead unknown to them a nasty storm was approaching which would give their life a drastic turn.
