Maan was eagerly waiting for the day to end so they could meet on their destined time. Shaina was again back to her business trips so he was left alone. Geet was in the mean time working in her office but the words of her husband still were fresh in her mind. It was almost closing time and her staff left when she turned and found someone there.
"Maan..., She said surprised.
"I thought to pick you up from here, He said moving in. He looked at her and she looked beautiful in her business attire.
"How did you know...I work here, She asked.
"I didn't but was passing by the street when noticed you here so thought to pick you up, He told.
Geet was nervous and looked around not wanting anyone to find out about this but thankfully no one was there and she took a sigh of relief.
"Is something wrong, He asked.
"No it is nothing...I will just take my things, you just wait right here, She smiled.
Maan checked out the decoration of the shop, it looked like the one for interior decor. He was impressed by the designs.She is truly talented, He concluded. "I'm done, He heard her voice looking up to her.
He was amazed to see her in a regular dress too she looked equally pretty but it was not her beauty that attracted him it was something else he couldn't put a finger on. Shoving his thoughts aside he decided to concentrate on their Diner date tonight.
"Let's go, He said. They went for another night out. Maan took her to the same place as yesterday and there he had arranged a beautiful diner for her.
She was happy looking at the table set for her, she always longed for such things but with Daksh it hardly happened as he was busy expanding his business not that she mind as he did gave her his time whenever they were together...but with Maan everything felt new and different. Maan was no different he has never done anything like this for Shaina...it was like he never felt like their togetherness seems forced to him sometimes suffocating him with her demanding nature but with Geet it was like he was a free bird.
"Did you like it, He asked.
"I love it...thank you, She smiled.
"Shall we, He said putting his hand forward.
"Certainly, She said taking his hand.
Both of them settled down. "So what would you like to have, He asked.
"You won't be able to cook here right so let us just enjoy with whatever food is there, She smiled looking at the deserted surroundings.
"Hmm...a challenge is it well then let me see if I'm able to surprise you or not, He said.
Geet was surprised when the next moment she saw a line of chefs standing for her with different dishes.
"Maan all this ...I mean you didn't need to ...it was fine ...and, but before she could complete he silenced her putting a finger on her lips.
"Shh...I wanted to ...I don't know Geet but for you I want to do something new everyday if it is to keep you happy...I know it will be too early to give this feeling a name ...but I just want you to enjoy with whatever I can do for you, He smiled.
Geet was overwhelmed with his gesture no one has gone to this lengths for her not even Daksh, she just hugged him tightly hoping this wonderful illusion could last forever ...or say she just wanted to live in that moment. "Thank you, was all she could utter.
"I think you won't like a cold meal so let us choose alright, He said and she nodded while still in his embrace.
"I like Indian food ...despite living here and bought up here I still crave for those spicy dishes we have in our country, She said.
"Okay then, you heard the lady, the rest of you may leave just the two of you who have Indian and Continental cuisine serve us, thank you for all the hard work you did, Maan said dismissing the other chefs.
They had their diner under the moonlight with the soft music played by the violinists Maan had arranged for. It was really delightful for both of them. They both had different emotions though both had the guilt too but they didn't want to let the other go.
"Maan what do you do, Geet asked.
"I'm a businessman Geet, He said.
"A businessman..., Geet thought. Now she was more anxious.
"Geet...Geet.., She heard him call.
"Ah, sorry I was thinking about something, She said covering up her fear.
"Umm...Geet are you free for the next week, He asked nervously.
"Why do you ask.
"Umm..actually I was going to Rome and was thinking ...umm...if you could accompany me, He finished looking at her expectantly.
"Maan...I..., she tried to deny but looking at his expectant face she couldn't...knowing she might be caught anytime but this sweet temptation was not easy to ignore.
"Alright...I will ask my employees to handle the clients..., She conceded reluctantly.
"Thank you Geet, He grinned.
Maan knew what he was doing was wrong but he did not care for the moment. He just wanted to enjoy the moments he had with her where he could be himself and not someone else. The fire of passion is such that it consumes you in a way that no other could do. In this fire two souls were getting slowly consumed not knowing the dark future they had ahead of them.
