MAANEET SS ALLURED!!! - COMPLETE - Page 45

TIME : Present

THE DEN

In life your dreams may not come true

But

Sooner or later one of your nightmares will…

"MAAANNN... Geet jolted off her sleep only to find she was tied to a chair.

She tried to remember how she had landed here. She could get faint glimpses of the dhaba ... she had gone to freshen up ..... and someone had suddenly put a napkin on her nose and then everything went dark.

The dark deserted room scared her beyond wits!! A fear gripping her heart and suffocating her!!

All the moments spent with her family and Maan came haunting her! Closing her eyes shutting herself off from the fear how she wished this whole was a nightmare and when she opened her eyes she would be safe in her house in her husband’s secured arms miles away from any trouble!

... BUT ALAS!! ...

The dream had ended…The nightmare had begun!!

Gathering herself …trying to come in terms with her fear … Geet knew now was not a time to fall weak she had to try and get out of here on her own ... who were these people... what do they want... the mere thought was scaring her... for the first time she had tried to take a firm stand in her life ... without any support ... but destiny had planned something else for her ... and here she was trapped in an unknown secluded place by some unknown people.

Only her Babaji ...can send some... saviour for her!!

She closed her eyes and prayed to her Babaji for some way … some help… to escape from here!

THUD…

A thud sound disturbed her and she tried to focus in the directions with yearning in her eyes… But the face that emerged from the dark corner… breaking in through the broken window there … crushed her faintest hope ….That someone will save her from her doom!!

“BRIJ…”

As we get used to the bad

Life gets worse!!

Was he her kidnapper?… But then why did he enter through the broken window… Why was he here… Who are the people who have brought her here … What do they want?…So many questions but answers .. None!!

Before she could utter a word, Brij rushed to her and started untying the ropes that had bound her. It must be a dream Geet reminded herself… This man … her tormentor for years is helping her …or ….?

But before she could comprehend anything a door opened and few men barged in and caught Brij and held him captive in their firm grip. Brij shouted and threatened them to leave him but to no effect.

“Oye…chod mujhe … tum log mujhe jaante nahin…”

Just then a cold menacing voice echoed around.

“Awaaz neeche …mujhe shor bilkul pasand nahin!”

A well built man emerged from the door, he stood in the shadows so his face was not visible in the dark room. There was something really scary about him… something which can’t be voiced out … but could be felt!!

“BRIJJ…!!!” Shasha exclaimedlines of tension now clearly visible on her face.

“Brij…kaun hain yeh?” Vicky inquired.

“Maine pehle isse kabhi nahi dekha …aur Bro kereaction se bhi lagta hain ke woh Bro ke saath nahin hain.” Vicky asserted.

“Yeh samjhane ka waqt nahin hain Vicky … basitna samajh lo … Brij se bhi Geet ko bachana bahot zaroori hain …jab tak Maannahin aa jaata tumhe hi Geet ko protect karna hoga Brij se aur apne Bhai se!”

“Vicky we can’t waste time now… you have togo in at the earliest… koi galti mat karna …Geet ki zindagi ka sawaal hain!!”Shasha joint her hands pleading to him.

Shocked Vicky held her hands…he couldn’t even imagine the shrewd and upright Shasha Ma’am could ever be so vulnerable!

People who hide their feelings

Usually are the most!!

“Please Ma’am .. aap sirf order dijiye … I promise main Geet per ek aanch (any harm) bhi aane nahi dunga …Trust me!!” He promised before heading in.

Hard times

Will always reveal true friend!!

*********

TIME : Sometime back

SOMEWHERE IN DELHI

[Maan's POV]

They came out where Maan's chopper was waiting still on the call with Shasha. They couldn't go by road ... each moment was no less than a punishment for him. He had to rescue her at the earliest!

Boarding the chopper they left to their destination.

"Geet kuch pal aur ...himmat rakhna ... Main aa raha hoon. He murmured.

I won't give up onus

Even if the skies get rough!!

Every moment felt like a lifetime … each moment flashed in front of his eyes …every moment when she proved her selfless being … her unconditional love… her innocence … her undying trust in him!!

And what did he do to her … never valued her love … never acknowledged her efforts … never respected her presence in his life!!

He had accused her …insulted her … tormented her …. hurt her … broke her … deserted her!!!

Today the love of his life and symbol of their love both are in danger …. They are paying a price for his sins!!

Only he was responsible… He had failed in protecting her from Himself and the World … He had snatched away her life ... her happiness…her dreams!!

His hatred had … destroyed her little world … and ….

pushed her in this darkness!!

Destroy your hatred before it conquers you

And destroys everything….

A voice jolted him out of his thoughts … an unknown fear gripped his heart … it was Shasha on the line … and …

“Maan … Vikram ke saath … ab yahan Brij bhiaa gaya hain ….Vicky andar gaya hain… maine usse kahan hain ke woh …. Geet kesaath hi rahe … Tum log please …. jaldi aa jao …” She whispered through her Bluetooth device.

Maan balled his fingers in a fist to control his anger when he felt the priceless token of her love in his pocket.... removing it and gripping it tight in his hand.

“Geet ek din maine hi kahan tha ke yeh mangalsutra … yeh rishta mere liye koi maayne nahi rakhta … par aaj … iss pal …main samajh gaya hoon ke … mere liye tum aur tumse judi har cheez… sab kuch …. anmol hain!!”

“Yeh Maan Singh Singh Khuarana mar ke bhi tum heapne aap se door nahi hone dega … koi Brij ya koi Vikram ko main tumhe nuksaan pohuchane nahin doonga!!” He promised!

The chopper finally landed … the wait has ended !

“Geet main aa raha hoon!”

TIME : Present

THE DEN

But before she could comprehend anything a door opened and few men barged in and caught Brij and held him captive in their firm grip. Brij shouted and threatened them to leave him but to no effect.

“Oye…chod mujhe … tum log mujhe jaante nahin…”

Just then a cold menacing voice echoed around.

“Awaaz neechi rakh …mujhe shor bilkul pasand nahin!”

A well built man emerged from the door, he stood in the shadows so his face was not visible in the dark room. There was something really scary about him… something which can’t be voiced out … but could be felt!!

Brij ceased his struggle to get out of the men’s grip … Something about this Man compelled everyone stop and listen to him… The air around him demanded that attention!!

Getting a hold on himself Brij questioned him “Kaun hain tu?…. Aur Geet ko yahan kyun laaya hain?”

In an instance that Man rushed to Brij catching hold of his neck and choking him off life!

Brij struggled hard to breathe… After few moments the Man left him and snarled.

“Yeh mera ilaaka hain … aur yahan koi mujhseaise baat nahi kar sakta …. Agli baar izzat se bolna warna ….” He threatened.

Brij coughed to breathe in air desperately … He was sweating in fear.

Geet gasped in shock!! …. This Man was so unpredictable ….He was terrifying!!

I feel hopeless …depressed …angry

But most of all …. I’m scared!!

The Man then declared looking at Brij and then at Geet “Vikram ki duniya main aap dono ka swagat hain!... Ek anchaha aur ek khoobsurat sa mehmaan!”

He grunted looking at Brij but gave a uneasy smile moving towards Geet he continued …

“Oh! Mrs Maan Singh Khuarana!! …Hosh aa gayaaap ko? …. Kaisi hain aap?... Umeed karta hoon safar mein koi takleef nahi huina aap ko?”

“Woh kya hain na mujhe aap ke pati se bahotdarr lagta hain …. Agar aap ko koi bhi takleef hui toh pata nahi woh mere saathkya karega ….” He uttered as if in fear and then burst out laughing.

“Ha ha ha ….”

Now she knew he was Maan’s rival …. His proximity was scaring Geet!

Like reading her mind he advanced towards her .. this time more closer and was about to touch her but Geet flinched back in fear and annoyance.

“Arre Mrs Khurara …. aap toh bura maan gayi … aap ko nahi pasand toh main aap ko haath nahi lagaunga!” He stepped back for amoment.

But again inched closerl ike whispering in Geet’s ears he continued.

“Woh baat alag hain ke aap ki khoobsurati ko dekh ke ….kisi ki bhi neeyat bigad sakti hain … Mehra toh yaad hoga aap ko …. Maan nebechare ka kya haal kiya tha…. Aur phir yeh Brij….” He divulged.

After a series of Trauma’s

One can lose capacity

To feel fear appropriately!!

Geet hated this feeling…But Vikram was enjoying her discomfort!

Brij was shocked that this man knew all about him … But how?

[BRIJ'S FLASHBACK]

On the day of his wedding with Geet … His family was waiting at the temple but non came and when Rano Maasi answered their call, she just said their (Geet and Brij’s) wedding will not happen … as she knew about his family’s selfish motives.

When Brij and his family reached Handa home to sort out the matter…. only to find out that Geet was married to The Maan Singh Khurana. And everyone was blessing the newly wedded couple.

It was a huge blow to them!!... Brij had lost Geet and her money!!

There was a huge showdown at Handa home. His mother accused Rano of betraying her but Rano just asked them to leave.

Even then Brij tried to put up a fight along with his goons to claim His Geet … but Maan and his friends had battered them all to pulp!

Only when Rano and Geet intervened had Maan let him go. Maan had warned him to stay away from Geet and The Handa’s…. ordering Brij and clan to leave the city at the earliest!!

Maan in moments had destroyed their planning of years!!

[FLASHBACK ENDS]

TIME : Few hours before

Brij had come to Delhi for some work and since its been a couple of months post the wedding fiasco he was loitering around Handa home to gauge the situation when luckily he had spotted Geet coming there with some young girl.

Seeing Geet’s state he was sure that something was wrong. So Brij thought to hold on and keep a watch on them. Maybe he gets a chance to settle his scores with Maan and Geet.

He then followed Geet to Khurana Mansion and waited nearby for sometime. Losing patience he was about to leave when Geet emerged out of the mansion with a small bag.

Now was his chance!!

He quietly followed her waiting for the right opportunity as it was dangerous to approach her in the crowded city. He got in the same bus and before he could catch hold of Geet at the dhaba some goons kidnapped her.

He thought it was the best to continue following them and then plan his next move. Finally when he saw her alone in this cottage he broke the window and got in but….

Vikram‘s voice broke his reverie

“Mrs Khurana … main soch hi raha tha … aajsubah uss Maan ne mera plan phir fail kar diya … pehle woh project aur phir … Roma jise maine Maan ko phasane keliye bheja tha …. lekin aap ne usse phir se bhaga diya.”

“Uss Maan ne mere naye project ke liye bhiproblems create kar diye… bahot gussa aa raha tha mujhe …. Samajh nahi aa rahatha kya karu.”

“Lekin kehte hain na Bhagwaan jab deta hain toh chappar phad ke deta hain!”

“Aur aap …Mrs GEET Maan Singh Khurana … Maan Singh Khurana ka pyaar …. uski ek lauti(one and only) kamzori … saamne se mere haath lag gayi ….. aur aap ke liye …. woh kuch bhi karega!!” Vikram announced proudly.

Geet didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at Vikram’s misconception!

Little did he know that she wasn’t his Love …. Maan hates her …. She is not his weakness but a reason of his torment… And today again unknowingly she has become the reason for Maan’s enemy to cause him more pain!

No matter how hard she tries… she always ends up hurting him!!

This pain inside just won’t go away!!

continued ...

Scroll down

😳

This pain inside just won’t go away!!

Seeing Geet lost in her thoughts Vikram approached her again.

“Maan ko ghootnon pe launga… koi raasta nahi hain uske paas …tumhaari jaan meri moothi mein hain GEET!!

… Sirf main …. Ya toh tumhara Maan tumhe bacha sakte hain … aur koi nahin …. Koi bhi nahin …. Ha ha ha… “ He threatened and then burst out laughing again.

Geet knew Vikram was right nobody could save her now … No one … !!

Feeling …as if defeated by life!!

“Bro …”

Vikram was facing Geet… his back turned towards the new entrant but he knew who it was.

He closed his eyes in irritation. Clearly not welcoming the person. Masking his anger he turned and queried.

“Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho? …. Tumhe to iss waqt Khurana Constructions mein hona chahiye tha.”

Geet had yet not seen the person as Vikram was blocking her view. She did find the voice familiar but … The moment Vikram uttered KC she was alert!

The moment Vikram moved a little and she came face to face with her best friend Vikas.

“VIKAS…” She whispered to herself

A faint smile graced her lips but the very next moment she realized Vikas was here … he knew Vikram …she heard him address ‘Bro’ … they were together … against Maan!!

It is better to have an enemy who slaps you in the face

than a friend who stabs you in the back!!

“Woh Bro .. wahan rukna iss waqt khatarnaak hain… Shasha dhoondh rahi hain kisne quotation leak kiya … main site pe jaane ke bahane aa gaya.”

“Agar unhe pata chal gaya toh bhi woh mujh tak nahi pohuch paaayenge … aur nahin pata chala toh main wapas pehle ki tarah continue karunga”

Vicky just played along still behaving as he just casually landed up here to meet him and hasn’t seen Geet yet. He behaved as if he is totally unaware of Vikram’s plan.

Vikram was losing his patience … This fool had ruined his plan yet again…. He could stay there and pass him vital information about their moves … But ….

Before he could burst out on Vicky …. Geet couldn’t believe what she saw … how could someone stoop so low … betray all of them … break their trust!!

“VIKAS … TUM ….YAHAAN?” Geet exclaimed in pain and anger.

I trusted you …and

You betrayed me!!

“GEET ..” Vicky whispered in defeat.Her pain … her anger … her shock all so distinct on her face.

He felt ashamed to stand there and face her … but now was not the time to fall weak!

Masking his emotions he steadied himself not giving away anything because he knew his shrewd and wicked Bro will not take much time to see through his facade.

“BRO … YEH YAHAN?” He inquired inshock.

“Haan Geet …. Vikas … yahan … tumhara socalled best friend … aur mera chota bhai … Kaisa feel ho raha hain? … Happy … Surprised… or … Shocked!!!

“Kya hua … tumhe khushi nahi hui isse yahandekh ke … dekho tum kitna bore ho rahi thi … issiliye yeh tumhe company dene aagaya … True Friendship …. Wow!!!” Vikram added proudly.

Just then Vikram’s very trusted aid George stood near the door signaling Vikram that he needed to have a word with him.

Vikram could sense an uneasiness between Geet and Vicky so taking advantage of the situation he continued.

“Vicky … see its good you are here now … Mrs Khurana will have company … so do take very good care of her … she is our special guest after all!!” Giving a meaningful look to Vicky he moved out not before waving his men to bring Brij along.

VIKRAM’S ROOM

George updated him with latest happenings and that his men had lost Maan and were clueless about his whereabouts. Vikram’s face contorted in anger and apprehension for couple of seconds but then again he masked it.

“Tum log koi kaam theek se nahi kar sakte …agar meri game beegdi toh main kisiko nahi chodunga…. Apne aadmiyon se kaho …mujhe MSK chahiye …BAS!!”

“Boss … woh log ko maine pehle se hi bol diya hain … ek baar pata lagjaaye Maan kahan chupa hua hain … bas phir …”

“You think he is hiding … he must be upto something … few moments are enough for him to turn the tables around.”

“I have come so far and will not lose this war for their stupidity … you better get this sorted!!” He barked in desperation.

“Don’t worry Boss … nothing will go wrong this time!” George tried to assure him.

“But what about Vicky Sir?” He spoke softly not wanting Vicky to hear their conversation.

But Brij who was attentively following their conversation and Shasha who stood hiding outside their window heard him.

Vikram gave an evil smirk.

“Now that he has come here let him help his elder Bro one last time before we are gone!!”

“For time being let him keep a watch on that Geet and once we negotiate with that Khurana my dear Vicky will go there to get the ransom. So all the blame will come on him and we will get off scot free!!”He divulged his new plan.

“Vikram …. came… conquered them all and disappeared forever..!!”

He boasted.

Though Shasha had expected this yet she scoffed in hatred for this sick man. Thankfully they could save Vicky from his evil clutches in time or he would have ruined his life.

Brij gasped in disbelief hearing this man…. realizing he was in deep trouble!…. This man is very dangerous and cannot be trusted at all. It would be the best to leave from here at the earliest.

“Dekhiye mujhe tumhare aur Maan ke beech nahi aana …. mujhe sirf Geet se matlab hain… toh tum mujhe Geet de do aur main yahan se chala jaunga.” Brij spoke out earnestly hoping this mad man would acknowledge hisrequest.

The coward only threatens

…. when he is safe!!

Vikram looked his way amused hearing him.

“Theek hain …ek baar main Maan se apna hisaab kar lu …uss ke baad tum le jaana Geet ko.” He declared signaling his men to leave himbut took his phone.

“Dushman ka dushman dost hota hain …issiliye tum abhi tak yahan ho …warna…” He didn’t complete clearly warningBrij.

Taking his cue Brij immediately assured.

“Meri aap se koi dushmani nahi hain … mera kaam hogaya .. bas.” Brij walked out.

Vikram immediately instructed his people to keep a close watch on Brij.

“Brij… it’s the best you leave from here at the earliest … forget Geet … this is a golden chance for you… this man …Vikram …who can frame his own brother for his crimes … can do anything to you …forget revenge and just leave!!” He mentally smacked himself for this blunder.

He tried to move away but saw all of Vikram’s men had cordoned him … though they stood at a distance and pretended busy in their work but Brij understood he is trapped here and now he has to wait for that one opportunity which could let him escape from this man’s clutches.

**********

“Geet…” Vicky tried to call out to her but Geet didn’t let him complete.

“Don’t … just don’t say another word! … How could you …do this to us … to Maan and Adi sir …we trusted you and You!”She uttered in pain and anger.

It is easier to forgive an enemy

Then forgive a friend!!

Vicky could see she was getting restless and seemed quite weak. He had to calm her down she was getting breathless too! He tried to frame his words remembering Shasha’s cleari nstructions before he entered this cottage to not disclose about her pregnancy to Geet.

“Vicky …you will in no circumstances reveal about her pregnancy to Geet until Maan is here!”

“But Ma’am…” Vicky tried to differbut…

“No Vicky… its very dangerous … we don’t really know about Geet’s current frame of mind … how will she react to this news … what if she starts panicking … she is already very troubled … plus is looking in a bad state too … and if Vikram gets to know about it … he will surely take advantage of this situation … And we can’t take this risk as both Geet’s and her baby’s life is involved…Maan will come and sort it out his way.”Shasha cautioned him.

“You just need to relax her …calm her down … assuring her about Maan’s arrival here …. Maan’s name itself will do the needful!!” She added.

‘Vicky… you need to be careful!’ Vicky calmed himself and taking a deep breath he spoke.

“Geet ... dekho please …. Just relax …meri baat suno…” He tried to pacify the distressed Geet.

“Nahi ..tum..” Geet not paying any heed to Vicky’s request.

She was getting more agitated every passing minute losing all hope of her rescue!

Vicky knew he can’t waste anytime now … glancing around once and confirming that they were alone.He marched ahead and held Geet firmly while he spoke with determination.

“Geet meri baat dhyaan se suno …kyunki main dobara nahi kahunga … Maan Sir yahaan aate hi honge … tab tak tum mere saath hi rahogi.”

Ensuring that she had calmed down a little and having her complete attention he continued.

“Maine Maan Sir se vaada kiya hain ke main tumhe safe rakhunga …Tum meri zimmedaari ho Geet … Please apne aap ko sambhalo.”He confided in her.

“Maine job hi kiya anjaane mein kiya … aur mujheapni galti ka ehsaas ho gaya hain … ek baar tum yahan se safely nikal jao bas …phir mujhe jo sazaa deni hain de dena … lekin abhi please relax aur humepretend karna hain ke main Bro ke saath hoon … Please I request!” Hepleaded.

A feeling of ease settled in her with the mere mention of her Maan!

“MAAN…” She whispered in relief but again the next moment her face tensed gawking her expressions and expecting her next reaction …Vicky quickly cut in.

“Ssh!!.. Geet …just relax… aur yeh chocolatekha lo …Maan sir ne kaha hain!”

He said unwrapping the chocolate bar and fed her. Geet nodded in affirmation …she can never deny her Maan!

Trust is earned when actions meet words!!

********

Just then they heard a chopper sound.

“Yeh awaaz? …George check karo.”Vikram ordered

“Sir there is an air force base nearby so this is usual in this area.”George replied.

“Ok but tell your men to be alert…we can’t take any chance … Bas kuch ghante aur…. Phir mujhe sab kuch jeet ne se koi nahi rok sakta!!”

“Boss ..MSK ko phone kare?” George inquired.

“Nahin … abhi nahin … pehle pata lagao woh kahan hain.” Vikram instructed.

“Bahot intezaar kiya hain maine iss pal ka…. Ab Maan ki baari …. Tadap ne do usse bhi … apni biwi ke liye …. ‘Sabar kaphal meetha hota hain’ yeh maine suna hain …. Meethe phal ke liye …. hum bhi thoda aur intezaar karte hain!” He concluded.

Defeat the enemies strategy!!

“Tum bhool gaye Vikram … Maan Singh Khurana ka intezaar sab karte hain …lekin Maan Singh Khurana kabhi kisi ka intezaar nahi karta!! ….Time check kar lo tumne jitney saal intezaar kiya hain na …uss se kam ghanton mein maine apni biwi ko dhoondh liya!!”

“Ab tak tum issliye bache hue the kyunki kayaron (coward) ki tarah chup ke vaar karte the… saamne aate toh kab ka tumhara full and final settlement kar deta!!” Maan announced as he barged in the den.

“Meri Geet kahan hain?” He threatened grabbing Vikram from his neck nearly choking him.
