PART - 39
Maan arrived early as per Daija's command. Both Maan and Geet got ready for party. Daija made Piya sleep because she start crying if both left together. They attend party only formally. But Geet enjoyed their first out. They stay there and for the first time Geet was introduced to his business clients as Geet Maan Singh Khurana. She loved when all greets her as his wife. It gives their relationship an identity, but after some time Maan told Geet to leave the party.
Both left to reach KM as soon as possible but it wasn't seemed easy. In mid of no where his car struck. Maan come out and checked but no use. "Damn it ye to puri band padd gai hai. Useless log rakhe hue hain maine." Maan cursed his workers as it was their job to see every thing would be in their perfect condition.
"Maan why are you getting so much angry?" Geet come out and tried to calm him but instead she raised his anger.
Maan scanned all around and found all doors locked. "Damn. Geet you come out without keys. Now car is locked. Damn who told you to come out. Fantastic ab hum car k ander b nahi ja sakte. Upar se mausam dekho." Maan was worried as they were alone in a lonely road and bad weather.
Geet scared as he glared her with bigger eyes. Maan called his driver and told him to brought car for them as soon as possible. But as he was suspicious weather plays its game. Rain starts. Whole sky flicker with thunder stroam. Big drops drenched both in just few minutes. Maan glared her again. He was about to burst on her but dropped the idea when he saw her shivering badly. The cold breeze mixed with shower cool down the temprature and her clothes become skimpy. Maan remove his coat and drapped around her.
"Feeling cold?" he asked in a softer tone,to which she nodded yes. "To bata nahi sakti thi?" he scolds her in frustrations and raised his volume too. Geet shivered badly this time not because of cold weather but because he scolded her in a strong manner. Already she was in a guilt of locking car and above on that his scolds made her mute. Maan saw her condition and regrets. First he low down his voice. Loosen his tighten fists. "Geet can't you tell me this before. Beemar apdne ka shuk hai?" he asked strongly but not in a scolding way.
Maan took her under the shadow of one road side tree. They stood under it to protect themselves but rain falling heavily. Few minutes passed but it seemed like hours to them. He was desperately waiting for his car. Maan step ahead to saw whether he was coming or not but what he found made him angry. Few bikers were passing but stopped at distance,staring Geet constantly. They thought her alone. Maan pace his step and shielded her by him. Then he slanted his neck and glance back,giving all of them a silent warning. His red shot eyes and gripped fist was signal for them. Without creating trouble they left but Maan not leave. He stood there, cover her but this time fully alert. Reacts on every single sound. "Geet ise pehan lo." he commands her and she slipped under his large coat. Maan tied buttons so her front covered properly and her skimpy clothes covered under it.
Geet tilted her head slightly to scann his face in dim light of full moon. Maan wasn't looking at her so she got a chance to gaze him. His eyes scanning all around for their saftey.

"Is darde dil ki sifarish ab kar de koi yaha,
ki Mill jaye is wo baarish jo bheega de puri tarah... 2"
Geet reminded of the moment when he hold her near and dance with her. This was the first time when he was so closed to her.
"Tu jo mila to zindagi hai badli,
main puri nai ho gai,
milne ko tujhse banahne karu,
Tu muskuraye wajh main banu....
Roz beetana sath me tere sara dinn mera...."
Geet couldn't resist and hug him without even a second thought. Her grip was firm and the way her hand made a movements he got alert. This time he didn't hug her back. Because he don't wanna gave her any false hopes. But he didn't pushed her because it will hurt her which he definitely don't want. Same time their driver came and he got a relief breath. Maan got a chance to parted her away.
Both reached to KM. Daija saw them. "God you both are drenched. Go and change first. Main coffee bhijwati hu."
"Daija Piyu?"Geet's first question the moment she entered in KM.
"Don't worry. She is sleeping. You both go and change first." She assured her that their baby is fine. This time they need to look after of themselves.
Both went to their room. Maan asked her to change first as she catch cold easily. Geet quitely moved inside and Maan was in deep thoughts. "why she did that? Kahi....? No aisa nahi ho sakta. Damn that's why i don't want her near me. Yeh Jo b ho raha hai use rokna padega. Mujhe Geet se baat karni hi hogi is mamle me." Maan decided to talk to her. He was waiting for her. When time passes so long and she wasn't come out from the washroom he got suspicious. "she took so much time." Maan knocked 4 to 5 times but don't got any reply. Suddenly his heart beats raised. He got worried for her. He patted the door in pace. Daija came with the coffee.
"what happened Maan?" she asked.
"Daija bahut der ho gai par Geet darwaja nahi khol rahi or na ander se koi awaz aa rahi hai." he told her and she too get tensed.
"Maan open it now." she command him to force it and he obeyed. When they entered,found Geet laid unconscious on floor.
Maan scooped her and brought in bedroom. He placed her on bed and covered properly. "Daija ise bahut tej fever hai." Her shivering body was like a burning coal. Maan got tensed and told to daija. She was scared too the moment she saw her unconscious.
Daija quickly called the doctor. "Maan maine doctor ko inform kar diya hai. Till then dry her properly." She passed dry towel to him.
"Daija aap kar do. Please." He requests.
"Maan I have to go to Piya or else she awake." Daija wasn't able to stay here as Piya was alone in room.
Maan was helpless but he did it. He helped Geet. She clung to him. Maan dried her and the made her wear fresh clothes.











Hdhsu

Soon doctor came and checked her temperature.
"She catch cold. Maine injection de diya hai. Have to wait till morning. If fever not goes down then we have to admit her into hospital." He told him. His voice carries seriousness of the situation. Maan nods only and glance back at Geet. Doctor left with the servant. Daija came to see her. She assured him that she will get alright soon.
Maan laid besides her and took her in his arms. He embraced her in his warmth. She too felt safe even in her unconscious state. Geet hold him tight and he allowed her. Few hours passed he to drifted into a sleep mode.
Sun dawn and Piya's cries awake all except Geet. She still had fever and due to the effects of medicine she was sleeping. Maan checked her. Her breath were steadier than last night. He silpped out carefully and leave the room to hold his crying daughter who was craving for her parents and cried to go to them.
"Mumm mummm...." Daija now facing tough time as she need Geet only. Maan quickly hold her.
"Hey baby don't cry don't cry. See papa is here." He stroked her back to calm her uneven breaths.
"Uu uuu Mumm Mumm." She cried in desperation to go to her mother. Her cries subsided a bit but not calmed fully.
Maan don't even know how to calm her. "Piyu baby Mumma yaha hai." Geet's broken voice stunned all and Piya quickly raised her arms towards Geet.
Maan turned and found Geet stood at door with its support. Her body is weak and eyes were burning but she came,hearing Piya's sobbs.
Maan went near her and gave his support to her. Daija too hold her from another side. "Beta why you come here. You are not well."
"Daija my baby is crying." Geet couldn't resist her cries and took her from Maan. Piya found her solace in her mother's arms. Maan supported her as she is weak and still under the effect of medicines. Maan made her laid on bed along with Piya.
"Daija aap Piya ko leke Mumma k pas chale jao. I am sure waha iska mann laga rahega." Maan analysed the situation and told her to took Piya to his in-laws. She too convinced with the idea.
Don't know when Geet drowned into sleep pool,but when she awakes Piya was not there. Only Maan was present in the room. "Aram se." He supported her. Now her condition is better. Doctor came and left after checking her. Whole the time Maan was with her to take full care.
She sat and he feeds her. "Piya?"

"I send her to mom. Don't worry about her. She is happy there." He assured to took all her worries plus unknowingly gave her happiness by calling her mother as his own.
"Thank you Maan." Geet said all with so much love she had for him. Even he can sense it easily now.
"Geet I want to clear some things between us. Which I already did but might you mistook my care as some other emotion." He paused and glanced at her. "Geet I respect you a lot. In fact the favour you do to me I never repay that. Geet but what I found last night was shocking for me." Maan wants to speak straight but her vulnerable condition put him into dilemma. He was searching the words which hurt her less.

Geet scann his helplessness in his eyes. "Apko bura laga? Uske liye I am sorry. But pata hi nahi chala kab apse pyar ho gaya." Which he found hard to speak she confessed in so simple way. Maan stunned hearing her.
"Geet why you are hurting yourself for a person like me? I told you already. Tumse to kuchh chhupa nahi hai. You know every thing. You know how much I love Tia or main uski jagah kabhi kisi ko nahi dunga." Once again he showed her mirror and crushed her all dreams badly. Some where she was aware but facing the truth is other thing.
Geet's eyes welled up and shed many tears which pricked his soul. He cursed himself for giving her pain for no reason. "Isi dard se durr rakhna chahta tha. Har rishte ki demands hoti hai jo main puri nahi kar sakta. Tabi humesha tumhe samjhaya. I am sorry Geet... But you will get nothing in this relationship. I will never be able to reciprocate your feelings." Maan felt guilty for crushing her emotions.
"Aap sorry kyu bol rahe hai. Apne to humesha sach ko same rakha. Par main kya karu? Apki inhi bato se na jane kab mujhe pyar ho gaya pata hi nahi chala. Apse bahut nafrat karti thi main jab aap mujhe yaha leke aaye the pehli baar. Wo nafrat kab pyar me badli iska ehsaas hi nahi hua."
"Geet you are spoiling your life. Kyu khud ko takleef de rahi ho? Tum janti ho...." Maan was annoyed now.
Geet cut him in between. "Yes I know you never love me back. But you know what jaise aap Tia se pyar karte hai waise main apse. Jab aap badal nahi sakte to mujhe kaise rok sakte hai? Apne bhi bina kisi aas k chaha hai na Tia ko to main kyu nahi?"
"Because I care for you and I don't want you to bear the same pain I am going through. Geet samjhti kyu nahi tum?" Seeing her stubbornness he felt irritated.

"Ishq ek ibadat hai or ibadat k liye izzazat ki zaroorat nahi parti. Aap apni ibadat keejiye or main apni." Geet's tears were vanished and her pale face now having a weak smile. She looked so calm and content then before. Like she won some battle. The fire in her eyes were different. Suddenly her voice filled with confidence which muted him. He stood to leave. "Apko pata hai right now I am feeling very light. Humesha sochti thi kabhi apse keh b paungi ya nahi. Par aaj keh di maine apne dil ki baat. Aap mujhe apnaye na apnaye ye apka faisla hai. I will not force you to accept me. But yes I am happy that I got a chance to tell my love that how much I love him. And always do."
Geet's eyes gleaming with a spark. Like it gives her more confidence which Maan couldn't able to face. He gulp and left the room quietly.
