DARK TEMPTATION 3
PART 10
Maan didn't get her behaviour and now it was getting on his nerves. He went to her. Didn't want to leave their conversation in mid. He want some answers from her. Geet stood near the window. Silent and lost. Maan went near and swirled her to face her. Her face was devoid of any emotions.
"What's going on? What you want? Today I won't leave until you tell me the truth. I have been noticing you since morning. You have changed and I want to know the reason. Neither you talk properly nor are you telling me about your problem." Maan clenched her arm and pulled her to him. "What's going on?"
"I already told you what I think is enough for you." She flinched off his hands.
Maan fumed furiously. He held her again. "That's not enough for me. Damn tell me the truth. Do you have any food disorder or any internal problem. I am fed up of your mood swings. Wait..." Maan stare her suspeciously. "Are you pregnant by any chance?" His voice have a pinch of both doubt and disapproval. He asked what his mind predicted but deep inside he wants his assumption to prove wrong.
"Its too late. Go and take rest." Geet tried to avoid.
She was trying to move but Maan held her and placed her back again. "Answer my question."
"I can refuse, she answered hesitantly, her gaze finally meeting the dark eyes of his.
He firmed his grip which now started hurting her still she was not ready to open up but when she saw no other option she blurted out and shocked him. "Ha." She paused, glance in his widened eyes.
"Yes I am pregnant." She revealed and he was left astonished. In need of time to absorb this. He scanned her from tip to toe. "When? How? Is he aware of this?" He himself didn't knew what he exactly wants to know.
"May be." She replied with uncertainty.
"I don't think so. Because if he knew,he wouldn't have tortured you." Maan came on conclusion.
"I don't care if he knows or not." Geet said strongly.
"Right. You don't need to carry this burden of his. I will take you to doctor. We will get rid of this." He issued commands without even asking for her will.
"Dare you even think of that. I am not going anywhere to abort my baby." Her reply was strong enough to jerk him.
Maan felt her behaviour irrational and fumed to. He held her again. "So what you want ha? Keep that monster's part and suffer more?" He yelled on her denial which made him restless.
"You are no one to tell me what to do and what not. It's my baby and only I can decide whether I want to keep or not." She replied strongly.
"Oh.. now I got why you don't want to come with me. So are you still dreaming of going back to him and enjoy his status." He taunts her because somewhere he wasn't able to accept the facts.
Geet didn't replied and he left her in anger. Struggling with his own feelings was more hard and he was doing the same. It was hard for him to accept that she was carrying a baby and want to keep it to. He hit the wall to lash out his anger and injured his knuckles.
Next day also this topic did not leave them. He tried again to convince her. "Geet you don't need to do this. Trust me." He lowered his tone to sound normal.
"And what makes you think this?" She stared him.
"Because if you keep it you will have to go back to him or else how will you manage alone with this baby. Neither you have a place to live nor you have money. Then how will you manage?" Maan thought over night and used it against her.
"It's none of your business. I think you should leave now." She cut him in short by jerking him off.
"It's my place." He snapped her in frustration as she was behaving stubborn.
"Don't worry I will leave soon." She told and left the breakfast in mid. Maan's rage towered and followed her to her room.
"What's your problem. Think logically You can't raise it alone." he rasped, trying to control his anger.
"Maan I already told you I am not coming with you. I know why you want me to abort my baby. You and Raheja both are same. Only want my body and my kid is obstacle in that." Geet's beautiful face fell, every ounce of hurt was showing in her expressive eyes that were filled with tears.
He left her in anger and Geet decided to leave him for their good. She left and started searching the way to road. Maan was upset but soon regretted his choice of words. He went to see her but she has already left. Now fear took place above all emotions. He informed his house keepers and rushed outside to catch her before she lands in one more trouble.
Maan's assumption was right. She was caught by his men. Raheja stood holding her with her hairs.
"You bitch. What you thinking? You can run away from me with your boyfriend? You cheated me." He roared and slapped her hard. She fell down and injured her elbow. Raheja bowed down and fisted her hairs to get her grip. "Where is he? Tell me?" He shout on her but Geet remained silent. She didn't uttered a word and got torture by his hands.
Maan stared from far away and was looking for the way to get her. He thought and got himself caught by his men. Raheja hit him to badly. "So you came after her. I knew it you will. After all she is carrying your sin." He revealed and Maan glanced at Geet with widened eyes.
Raheja pulled him down. "What happened? Didn't she tell you about this? No issue now when I get my land I don't need any of you. You both will get the deserved punishment for betraying Raheja." He gritted his teeth in anger.
But this was the moment Maan was looking for. He full his fists with soil and put it in the eyes of Raheja and his men. All lost their vision for few seconds and this was their moments to run away. He held Geet's hand and ran away before they caught them again.
They kept running. Maan glanced back again and again to make sure goon were not chasing them.
Geet was scared but not for herself. She was scared for Maan and their baby. Maan know the area that was favourable for them. He reached to a place and put aside grass strands laying on ground. Beneath there was a secret door. Maan opened it and both jumped inside. Maan locked it from inside and pressed one button inside the secret tunnel. Grass strand covered that route again.
Geet was astonished. "Don't worry here we are safe." Maan whispered in her ears.
"But where are we?" She asked glancing his face.
Maan stared at her.
"It's a secret way to reach our hideout." He told her.
"I don't think that place is safe now. He ll find us in jungle and now I am sure he will reach to that place very soon." Geet shared her doubt.
"That's what I want. I want him to reach their and get confirmed that we are not living there. Then only we will go there." Maan told his plan to her.
Maan and Geet wait there. As per his expectations Raheja reached to his secret hide out but found nothing except an old couple.
"Where is Geet and Maan?" He enquires from them.
"You can come and check. We live alone here." He told him confidently.
"Don't lie." He roared to threaten them but old keeper was also wicked.
"Why would I? If you have a doubt please come and check." He invited him and his men to search every where but found no sign of them.
Raheja fumed and left empty handed. He left his two men to keep eyes on the house. Maan and Geet reached to their place through secret tunnel so no one could see them.
