PART - 9
He just stood there and stared at her, don't know what to say. His inner voice scolds him for allowing his love's culprit won over him. He felt so helpless and vulnerable. Anger radiated through his blood and burning him from inside. Daija took Geet to her room and he just stared her leaving.
"i am sorry Maan. I know you are angry with me but its a question of Piya's life. She is so small to understand your logics. Maan whether you want or not but Piya accepted Geet as her mother." Adi apologised as he knew he hurt Maan. His broken heart crushed more with this bitter truth that Piya choose Geet over him and Tia.
But the amount Adi assumed was very less than the actual damage. Maan only gave a resentful glare and left,without replying.
In Geet's warmth,baby was calm. Daija and Adi relived,least they aware about Maan's condition. Two days passed and Maan don't gave any punishment to her because of Piya. Piya was well than before. But she is so insecure and not ready to leave Geet. The moment Geet left her side she start crying. Which made her bound with Piya and stop Maan taking any action against Geet.
Adi as per daily routine came to see Piya in evening. She was sleeping,so he just glance and leave to meet Maan. He was no where. So he went to his gym and the view shocked him. Furious and gripped in his own anger,Maan was beating himself. Every spank of hunter leave mark on his bare body. Adi couldn't even able to reach near as his moves were fast. He trying to stop but Maan closed his ears for any voice. Adi panicked and called Daija. She came followed by Geet. All's eyes popped out.
"Maan baba what are you doing?Please stop it." she too tried but Maan keep going on. Daija start crying but no effect on Maan. Adi courage and tried to reach near him and got hit also. So Maan showed him his hand.
"Adi don't come near me." he cautioned him.
"Have you gone mad? What are you doing? Maan please stop it." Adi was scared and worried for his friend.
"I already listened to both of you and spare her. Now you listen to me and just stay away." Maan glance towards them and his eyes had only hatred for Geet.

"Maan leave." Adi tried but he shoved him away.
"i leave her for Piya's sake. But what about my Tia? If i am not able to punish her culprit then its my fault and i deserve punishment. All of u leave." he glared and indirectly told them to took Geet away from his sight.

Reluctantly they had to leave as they knew his insanity for Tia. Geet now experienced the depth of his insane love and pain.
Unknowingly a feel of guilt gripped her. And when it continues again on next day too,she courage to talk to him. First she thought not to explain him but now its very necessary she told him that she wasn't responsible for Tia's condition. She went to him. No space left where marks were not present. He bruised himself badly and still not stopping. She hold his hand to stop him and got his glare. "how dare you?"

"just listen to me once please." she pleads in a whimpering voice. "stop punishing yourself for someone else's sin."

"Piya ties my hand. Go and give thanks to her. She saves you." he turn his face as he don't wanna see her.

"Maan maine Tia ko hurt nahi kiya. I don't even know when and how she would reach to this condition. Maan i don't know why you consider me her culprit but trust me.." Geet tried but only enrages his anger.
He clenched her wrist and dragged her to his study. He open one drawer and pick something. It was a mobile which he threw on table. Geet was staring in confusion. "keh do ye tumhara nahi hai. Though its broken but chip is working. 96xxxxxxxx ye tumhara number nahi hai? Bol do ye jhooth hai." he threw some papers. Geet picked up. They are customised bills. "Ye tumhare hi number k bills hai. Which clearly shows that it was your number and you talked with Tia on the day you tried to kill her. Bol do ye tumhara nahi hai."
Geet was in shock. "no its mine but where you got this?" Geet accepted.
"it was in my Tia's hand when she was laying half dead." Maan told which shocked her more. Before she said anything Maan show more proofs. "DLxxxx its your car number? Right? Tumhi ne ye car kahraidi thi na. Us waqt ye car waha kya kar rahi thi agar tum waha nahi thi to? Tumhara phone or car dono crime spot pe the. And now you want me to trust you." he disgust even seeing near him and not interested in hearing any explaination.
"Maan its true that i buy that car but not for my own use. I buy this car for..." suddenly her mind strikes.
"what happened? Koi bahana sujh nahi raha?" Maan taunts.
"Maan..its not.." he doesn't let her complete.
"just shut up and get out of my sight before i forgot about Piya." Maan snarled.
"Maan listen to me..." she tried but Maan hit his fist against the sharp edge of table very hard and hurt his knuckles. Blood start oozing and his hatred chocked Geet's voice. It was a clear signal that he don't want to breathe in same air.


Geet move ahead. "Maan itni bhi nafrat mat karo ki mujhe khud se hi nafrat ho jaye." she said and left.
