Geet:- Am not sleeping on this bed...(She announced as soon as he came out and rested on the bed)
Maan:- Why??? Afraid that you will again lose your sanity near me??? (Oh that mention reminded her of the past...A mistake in the past)
Geet:- Correction, I didn't lose...You...actually have forced me...(She didn't sound convenient)
Maan:- Yeah right...Just coz I forced you, you lost it??? And gave in rather than pushing me away??? Wow...(He was instigating her and she was hating that all)
Geet:- Stop using crude words...You disgust me sometimes...Your thinking abt yourself is really so high Mr.Abductor...Did you forget, I have stabbed you...(and with that she hit the jackpot, as she saw his changed expressions)
Maan:- I haven't ...And won't let you as well...Till am having that scar, am not living in peace...
He told her as he subconsciously placed his one hand on stomach, where the cut mark was still present, a reminder of her assault... And Geet smirked but then she realized he was taking her mind off the matter..and she came back to the topic...
Geet:- Well, whatever...Am not sleeping with you on this bed...
Maan(simply shrugged, saying):-As you wish...
Geet:- Haww... Where am to sleep then???(She was shocked at his casual response)
Maan:- Well, your wish... This side of the bed is empty, you can see it...and yeah...You can use guest room if you want, as there's no couch or etc anything...(He shrugged nonchalantly and closed his eyes)
Geet:- You...You go to that guest room...Am sleeping in here...(She suggested rather ordered ...Order and MSK...He smiled at her folly)
Maan(shook his head):-Hmm...Why should I ???First, this is my bedroom...my bed...my property...And second, even if I go out to sleep in there, what impression would my family have abt you??? Who was so down to earth and an ideal Bahu just a few mints back, now has kicked her husband outta their room...that too on their SR.. Don't you think, your hard earned love and sympathies will go in drain??? (Seeing her silent he smirked and lied back there)
Geet thought a lot and then she decided something...coming to the bed, she created a wall of pillows between them both and Maan only shook his head with a smile...looking at her antics...
Geet:- Don't you dare to cross this line...(She again ordered raising her one finger in air and tried to sleep)
Maan(ST):- Dare and MSK??? Wrong choice of words wifey...(He thought and closed his eyes)
Maan woke up to find Geet in his arms...and he immediately tried to get away but then realized, she has trespassed the thin border line between them both...He laid there and waited for her to wake up...But then another realization came, he too was hugging her...
Maan(ST):-Why is she in my arms??? Why am I hugging her??? Maan, get her outta your arms , she will create scene when up...(He tried to get her outta his arms but his heart again went for her)But, I kinda like this feeling of having her in my arms...What is she doing with me...
He smiled at the last thought and caressed her hairs before lying her down on bed and turned to his side to sleep...
Morning,
Maan again found her in his arms and this time he decided to wake her up and let her know...of her own actions...So, he tried calling her name...But, no response came, sighing he shook her...
Maan:- Geet...Geet...Wake up, you literally are all over me and are choking me now...
Geet:- Ummm...Let me sleep...
Maan:- Just get off me...You are all over me...
Geet:- No, first, you turn this A.C off, am abt to die out of cold...(She argued and accused)
Maan, now got her actions, she was feeling cold and that's why she was in his arms again and again...But, why should he compromise with his needs, he liked coolness in his room and so being stubborn he didn't oblige to her demand...
Maan:- Geet, just wake up...Will you...weren't you the one, who has refused to share bed with me last night and here you are...all over me...Get away...
Geet:- Am feeling cold, just switch this A.C off naa...and plz let me stay here for a while, to warm myself plz...
Maan(had had enough of her):- Alright...You asked for it...(With that said, he pulled her more to himself and Geet gasped...Aware of their closeness she struggled instantly)
Geet:- Maan, leave me...(This was the first time, she called him by his name rather than Mr. Abductor)
He liked his name from her lips...Their eyes met and the same feeling from that night flashed in them...Both knew where they might head with this...And this thought, scared Geet...
Geet:- Leave me Maan...(She struggled but no use)
Maan:- No...(His stubborn reply came)
Geet:- Don't you dare...
Maan:- I think you deliberately use that line to provoke me...(He smirked caging her in his arms that she found difficult to come out)
Geet:- No...(She struggled and said)I won't come to you again...Just leave me this time plz...(Maan stared her horrified eyes and left her...and then he declared)
Maan:- You aren't sleeping in this room from tomorrow...(and she came back)
Geet:- what??? Where will I sleep then???
Maan:- Am least bothered of where you will go but certainly am not sharing my room with you anymore...
Geet(too was stubborn and hence announced):- I won't go anywhere else...You just need to turn your A.C off and I will never disturb your sleep...
Maan(that authority in her voice angered him):- Why should I compromise my needs for you Haan???You feel chilled in here, so you gotta get outta my room...
Geet(argued):- This is my room too...and I don't do this deliberately...Its just that....(She cleared her throat as he waited for her to speak) have been living in different places...taking shelter here and there at roads so am not more comfortable in cold...now...
Geet shared her little past with a shrug and a bit of embarrassment...and Maan felt guilty for being a cause of snatching her luxurious life style and forcing her to live with low category ppl...But before she could have glanced back at his face and saw any regret, concern... he masked his expressions and she missed that...And decided to let her stay in his room and will turn the A.C off whenever needed...
~~~
Maan stared at Geet, as she just came out from shower and was setting her hairs, looking at mirror...She could see his gaze on her, but she pretended to ignore for she knew he was trying to scare her again by making her feel a bit nervous around him...But, she wasn't weak...So, she gave a careless glance back at him and contd with her hairs...then started to apply make-up...Make-up that he has arranged for her...as per her choice rather say demands...He smiled to himself at that thought and decided to have a talk with her...
Geet, gulped as she saw him, approaching her...She did feel a bit of uneasiness in his presence but she had to be strong to fight for her rights...Without a single warning, he stood very close to her and she found herself in his arms the next sec...with his hand resting comfortably round her waist...
Geet(protested):- What???
Maan(silenced her, by placing his finger on her lips):- Sshhh...I will give you a single chance to move outta my life...(She blinked and he contd)I am going to offer you something that you will find it hard to decline and this will be only a single chance for you to either accept that and move outta my life, forever...or be in this so called relation and face the consequences of messing with MSK...
Geet(glared him at the man's audacity to threaten her):- You trying to scare me???
Maan(smiled and shook his head):- Am trying to give you a safe and benefiting way to get outta my life... Interested in hearing my offer???
Geet(wanted to say no but she couldn't resist the power of his words, that compelled her to hear him out):- What is that???
Maan(smirked):- I know, you had been an aspiring candidate when studying...Hmm, you wanted to be an art designer...Travel, all over the world...Away from your orthodox family...live your life as you wanted to...I can provide you with everything for you to achieve your every little dream as a reality...
Geet(for a moment was left speechless as from where he came to know of this but then looking at his mocking expressions she came back as she got a hint he has dug into her past, like he has said):- Hmm, quite heartwarming, your offer is...My dreams...(She shook her head as sadness took over her face)The day, I saw you, my all dreams crashed down...Earlier, nobody really cared for my thoughts, except for one person(She added in a whisper)...what I wanted...What I wished...Did I want to marry the guy they chose for me or not...They just ordered and I was left to obey but even then, I made my mind and was ready to embrace my new life with happiness... Thinking I will make a new castle of my dreams there in his presence beside me...We both will dream and achieve everything we wish for , together...But, thanks to you...My That wish also couldn't be fulfilled...(She stared in his eyes)Yes, I wanted to travel the world, but being Mrs MSK, I think someday, I will accompany you to your tours(She said, making him smile)...Away from my orthodox family, hmmm guess I already am...No???(She asked him, but he didn't have a heart to reply, how could he, when he was the reason she was abandoned by them ) Living my life as I wanted to...I am living my life as per my own choice now...Getting what I wanted to...No???I wanted to marry you and see am married... and yes abt art designer... That really was my wish...which is unfulfilled still...But, now am happy with whatever am blessed...
Maan(laughed):- Blessed??? Really??? Geet, whatever you have achieved till now is by blackmailing me... and you say, you are blessed???
Geet:- Well, you should at least appreciate my guts that a girl finally has managed to make you-The MSK bow down to her demands...and marry her...
Maan:- I do... And it's really quite fascinating...(He agreed that left her in surprise)But, now it's you, who is going to bow down...
Geet:- Not so soon Mr.Abductor...Am not done with you... just yet... (She shook her head with a smile)
Maan:- So, you are turning down my offer???That is a once in a life time offer Geet...I know you are an art lover...why don't you sketch arts...auction them in an exhibition???I will sponsor, arrange every event of yours... That's my promise...
Geet:- For how long???
Maan:- Till you are settled in your life...(He shrugged after thinking a little)
Geet(sighed with a smile, he again was playing with her mind and going back there):-Well, don't you think am settled...You know for girls like me, the meaning of getting settled means getting married...And I am married...
Maan(shook his head):- This ...is not a marriage... Remember, this is a REVENGEFUL MARRIAGE for you...
Geet(smirked):- Then let the REVENGE begin...
Maan:- Don't mess with me Geet...
Geet:- I think, you already are afraid of me...
Maan(laughed little):- Do you think, only you can have my weaknesses???
Geet:- I don't have any...Go on...I have none to care for...(She told him confidently)
Maan:- Well then...You really are unaware of what MSK is...(Geet only looked away)You really are going to regret declining this offer of mine...
Geet:- Guess I am not...(She shrugged and he left her waist)
Maan:- Well, welcome to the REVENGEFUL MARRIAGE then Geet... (He told her flatly and was left surprised with her confident voice)
Geet:- Thank you...(She said with a smile and left the room)
One common thing which I observed in many comments... AA don't feel any regret, guilt, remorse etc...Yes, they do... Annie does as well since she was the one who has opposed to kidnap the bride...while Arjun was asking Maan on doing that...But, now when Geet has come back and she talked non sense on getting married to Arjun, and her attitude towards them...Her brother...blackmailing him..and etc, has made Annie to change her opinion and dislike her...So, the AA also have changed their attitudes from being feeling bad for the girl to this girl who is here to blackmail them all...
