Chapter 64 : TOXIC LOVE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I saw Sameera laying beside." Words ruthless than winter snow was hurled on Geet by the devil of her dreams, yet those eyes churned lava, "And, She was this close to me!" Holding her almost in his arms, Maan whispered in her ears, evoking goosebumps.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1

“Aap aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hain Madhurima…” Savitri roared while taking Madhu's full name, “Aap maa hain na Maan ki...Phir...Kiya aap nahin janti, samajhti uski khushi Geet mein baasi hain…Aur aapne betey pe yaqeen nahin hain kiya aapko?”

“Samajhti hoon isiliye keh rahi hoon maa ji…Agar koi aur rasta nahin nikle toh Dev se kar dete hain Geet ki shaadi! Mera dimag kam nahin kar raha hain. Mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aa raha hain main Handa parivaar ko kiya jawab dungi! Par Maan ki shaadi toh aab Geet se ho nahin sakta.” Two storms were brewing in the Khurana Mansion as Madhurima's answer baffled Savitri.

Meanwhile, in Sameera's room, Maan's icy whisper chilled Geet's spine, "I saw Sameera laying beside. And, She was this close to me!" He gritted his words against each other as his red eyes scanned each pore on Geet's face.

To his surprise, Geet merely smirked, "Good. Finally some progress." Hiding her obvious melancholy, "This whole conversation was not going anywhere." He raised his eyebrows at her remark!

"Isn't that what she told you??" He moistened his timbre, lightly stroking his thumb on Geet's jawline, "So! Your clothes were also in my room?" Sparing a gaze towards Sameera meanwhile, "I didn't even know until Geet just questioned now. Is that what you told her?" Geet's eyes fixed at everywhere else but Maan, "And you?? Don't you want to know rest?" Lifting her chin to make her look at him, "Jab main baat karoon, yun nazre toh maat churao Jaan!" Voice softer than wind but the words sharper than ice nails!

"Go ahead!" For a split second Geet stole a brief gaze at Maan as he stepped closer, she stepped backward, "Ye aap piche jaiye naa...Iss ahead ka..Ye..Matlab..ouch!!" A jealous Sameera witnessed how Geet's words wouldn't even form properly and Maan trapped her on the wall, his eyes not blinking for a second!!

"Then I went to a separate room. And this has nothing to do with the whole claim. She was out for the night. That was the day since it was after I rejected her proposal. Now don't ask what proposal. I told you everything what happened don't you remember Shona?" Finally Geet was looking directly at him, tucking one strand of her hair Maan arched his eyebrows, "Why is your hair so messy? Tum hamesha aise bacchi hi rehni wali ho pata chal gaya hain mujhe. No problem, now I am here. I will comb it up Jaan." He tenderly caressed her hair, slipping his fingers through and fixing a little.

"Why didn't you tell me that other part?" Holding his hands, Geet bolted. He is behaving way too casually. As if it's nothing serious at all! Not even the fact that someone was just on the verge of dying. That's so unlike Maan! Or it's exactly how Maan is??!!

"What, that your hair is messy?? Aab bata toh diya! Can we please go to your room now!"

"Maannn!!"

"Sshish!! Cause it's not important!??" He rolled his eyes, still sliding his fingers on her hair, "People get drunk and drop all over the places. Mujhe pata toh nahin tha ye mamooli si cheez ko iss tarha se istemaal kiya jayega? I did tell you about having mini party and the toast. There are so many things that happen all the time. You don't expect me to remember and tell you every tiny detail."

"Tiny details??? Are you sure? Maan Singh Khurana?" Sameera who was silently observing everything hissed back by hovering a selfie of hers smiling towards the camera and a smiling Maan nuzzling in her!

"Is this your evil twin or say the picture is Doctored(fake)?" She sneered in sarcasm!

"This is your epic solid proof?" Maan too mocked while inspecting the picture briefly, "My eyes are clearly closed. I am asleep. But the question is why this picture is on your phone in the first place?? Taking pics without permission!

Show me where am looking in the camera! Wait I myself have!" He swiped on his phone and showed a few of his and Sameera's selfies.

They appeared close and happy! Even in some of those they were appearing to have a lot of fun with foods, "These ones are better! If you want to prove our closeness! And you think Geet will get jealous? She has seen all of these. Some are even clicked by her. Look at this one where you are trying to smudge the cake on me, that's legit clicked by Geet!" His confidence is making Geet wary even more, he is rarely so cold at situations like this. Why is he not getting angry?

He seems to not understand the gravity of the situation or what? Why is he so calm!

"You think it's the only picture I have Maan??" Sameera was ready with her accusations as she opened her drawer and fetched up some pictures, printed ones this time, "Explain this?"

"Rubiba hydes. Batch 908A of our college. Pretty much was obsessed with me for over 6 months. Forgot instantly when she started dating her boyfriend. Now a client of Khurana constructions. This is a business meeting." A scrutinizing Maan distinctly sounded cringed when he was browsing and explaining one by one, "Ishita Iyer. Another client. Again a normal meeting! I am disappointed! These are your epic proofs!" As well as throwing each of the pictures carelessly!

"Oh wow. This one is interesting. Let me choose the spicy ones." Stopping at one particular picture, he smiled broadly, "Your spies are good at stalking but so poor at spying skills. You know who this is??" Both Geet and Sameera simply gawked at him!

In the picture, he was making her wear a watch or something, being pretty close almost in a side hug.

"Riddhima Malik. Doctor and a great friend. My rakhi sister. She is exactly how Annie is to me. Want to talk to her?" Didn't even wait for their answer and straight-up dialed Riddhima on loudspeaker, displaying his phone towards Geet and Sameera!!

"Hello...Maan bhai?? Itne subhe subhe aapko meri yaad kaise aa gayi?? Sab theek hain na? Kahin phir se tana toh dene nahin wale ho aapki engagement pe nahin aa payi isliye!! I swear Shaadi mein aane wali hoon!" She sounded excitedly happy and talked in a single breath!

"Ridz, oh god baat toh suno! Kaisi ho tum?? I need a recommendation for some psychiatrist or consultant! Someone who is a hallucination expert? Can I email you the patient's history and other details?"

"Main toh theek hoon! Kaam ka pressure hain baas! Psychiatrist? ok, Bhai, Yes sure mail me!"

"Thanks. Waise. Good that you remember! Shaadi miss nahin hona chahiye!"

"Of course not! Waise ye mystery..Geet akhir man kaise gayi?? Ye toh mujhe bhi janna hain. Shaadi mein zaroor aapki sir khane aane wali hoon Maan. hahaha Kitna saal ho gaye usse mile huwe!" The last sentence burned Sameera as it seemed they were mutual friends!

After finishing the talk, Maan crossed one of his arms, "Ok now let's try this last one. It's amusing Geet tumne nahin pehchana Jasmine ko?? It's Jass. My maternal cousin. 5 years older than me. The hilarious part is that Vicky was with me in this particular meeting. Ask him!!" Sameera couldn't even speak a word as Maan shoved his phone in her face, continuing, "If you have something like this then I may think!"

Maan was holding Geet in his arms with a soft smile and Geet was kissing on his cheek endearingly. Sameera's aching eyes didn't want to focus on that picture at all. Nor did she want to perceive at present how he held Geet's hand jerking her close to him, hugging her from behind.

"Want more? Mujhe meri Mishty ke alawa koi itna kareeb bardasht hi nahin!" Is it a whisper or a threat that was not clear as a shocked Geet wriggled bad while her hazels were blazing like a firepit, "Don't!" She seethed locking her eyes with him, "Don't make me! End this farce!" Spoken with equal conviction!

"You are so cruel! And this is not the first time. I know you and Geet have that kind of relationship. You have been sleeping with her from the moment she is here or even before that? Guess what I don't care! Today this is not about you and Geet!" Sameera had to control her hazy visions but it's becoming impossible again, "It's about how you are deceiving us both! Geet how can you not see what Maan is doing here? Please open your eyes!

He left you for 5 years, for what? Didn't he himself tell you he was trying to keep you safe from him? Safe as in? Because he thought he would have ended up having sex with you!

Is that the only reason you told her Maan? There is so much more which you don't know Geet. He didn't tell you. Trust me emotions mean nothing to him! Just see how what he is trying to do now!"

"What I did 5 years back is extremely personal to me and Geet. Tumhare liye ye sab ek khel hoga. But I have loved her since she was born Sameera. Tum bohot galatfemi ki shikar ho!"

"It's interesting how you have answers for most of these ready as if you knew you will get exposed!"

"Too bad Sam. I am not the casanova you want me to be who sleeps around. Especially not with clients. Eww!"

"But you slept with me."

Part 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"But you slept with me."

“Hell no...I am sure...I didn't. Just because I was drunk or we were out? …!! Hypothetically even if I for a second agree, don't you think it actually proves my point Sameera? If it's a drunken mistake, then it's unintentional." Maan's answer suddenly sparked her as she revolted, "Kamal ho tum dono hain na??! Tum samajh gayi main kiya keh rahi hoon!" Seeing the helplessness in Geet's eyes, Sameera spoke ever so firmly, "Tum jhoot kyun keh rahe ho ke ye srif nashe mein huwa?"

"You literally confessed to me 1 year back Maan! During Party you..." She stopped with Maan's deadly cold voice, "SShhh!! I am done with You and your toxic love! We are done here!" Gestured by pressing his index finger on his lips!

Turning to Geet, he held both her hands, "Baby you have known me, my whole life, you of all people can't think in this track I know."

“Maan...Be a little sensitive to her, please...I am seeing you. You are indeed behaving strange." Raising her eyebrows, Geet tried to sound unaffected, "She is saying she is pregnant with your child…A girl wouldn't go so far if there is not something true about it.

I have nothing more to say..”

“What??? What do you mean by that…

Stop calling it as my child…!! How can you talk or believe her Geet...You are my everything and you are not even giving me one benefit of the doubt?? Are you for real not trusting me??”

“Maan. Don't you get it, it's not about trust. Is it about trust?? If it is then why didn't you tell me that she likes you right away?? This is not about trust. You see 4 lives are intertwined in this. Think calmly!”

“Geettthh?? I answered you this so many times baby...The timing was not good enough and eventually, I did tell you right…??”

“Yeah because you knew...You knew this was going to happen...So to play on the safe side you probably told me…!!” She repeated the same words Sameera said a few moments ago, testing his patience on a greater scale now!

“Geet?? What has happened to you?? This is so not like you. How can you say that to me Jaan?? I have loved you all my life. Only you. And you...Pretending..Are not even believing me?? Ye kiya mahanta ki bimari hain? Ye trust ki issue hain hi nahin toh kiya? Balidan dena hain tumhe? Itna hi kamzor hain kiya hamara rishta?? You promised me so many things...faith being one of them…!!”

“Did I Maan??” Her eyes seemed lifeless!

“Yes, you did…!!”

He wanted to deny ever hearing her shaky voice uttering those two words, "I lied!" Slowly freeing the entanglement of their fingers, “Maan that just reminded me. You know you used to say…”

"Don't do it Geet! Sshhh!" He motioned that long index finger at her lips as Geet continued.....

“Promises are mortal! People are too foolish to make promises…!! You are never wrong! I am breaking off our engagement…!!” Taking off the engagement ring, she walked off in an instant, a heartbroken Maan followed her steps.

"How expected, congratulations!" Before leaving Maan left his sarcastic remarks for a baffled Sameera!

Meanwhile downstairs, Savitri's room.

"You have lost it Madhurima. Vijay tum chup kyun ho!" Savitri glared at Madhurima who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.

"Maa I am just worried about Mohindar and Rano. Geet was our responsibility. How could Maan be so reckless! Koi bhi raha chalta ladki aake agar ye bolti toh we would have not even flinched. But this is Sameera! If he liked Sameera..." Vijay tried to share his side of reasons, rubbing his temples!

"VIJAYYY! Aapne kiya suna humne abhi kiya kaha? Chaliye agar man bhi liya ye baccha Maan ka hain, par phir bhi huwa toh ye nashe ke halat mein hi naa?" Savirti rumbled, annoyed to the bits.

"Sameera ne jitne ilzaam lagaya hain isse ye toh lagta nahin!" Vijay was contemplating once again.

"Maa ji, Khurana khandan ki kiya izzat reh jayegi agar ye baat bahar aa gayi toh? Agar Handas man jaye toh Dev se kar dete hain Geet ki shaadi. Hamare do khandan milnese baat hain na? Woh ho jayegi!"

"Madhurima. Hum aapko kaun si bhasha mein samjhaye? Maan Geet se bohot pyaar karta hain! Woh uske ilawa.." Savitri took a deep breath, controlling her temper, "Aur aapko iss waqt khandan ki padi hain! Aap bohot disappoint kar rahi hain humein bete! Aapko apni aulad ki khushi ki qadar nahin hain kiya?"

"Uski khushi ki liye hi soch rahi hoon...Ye sab hone ke baad Geet kaise izzat de payegi Maan ko? Kisi aur ke bacche ka..." Unable to hold patience, Savitri thundered, “Kuch nahin samajhti tum...Tumhe baas abhi rutba aur khandan ki izzat ki fikar hain…

Warna agar tumne thik se dhayan diya hota toh tumhe pata chalta ye pyaar aaj ka hain hi nahin!!”

“Matlab??” Madhurima furrowed her eyebrows in surprise.

“Maan ne jab se hosh sambhala hain uski nazar mein srif ek Geet hi thi…

Bachpan se chahta hain woh Geet ko… Agar Geet se mamooli jhagra bhi hota hain toh woh... Tum yahan jo bol rahi ho mere samne usey bhool se bhi Maan ke samne mat bolna!

And understand this well, Tumhare, mere yaa Sameera ke chahne se kuch nahin hone wala…"

"Par maine jab bohot din pehle usse pucha usne toh mujhe saf saf kaha tha aisa kuch nahin hain? Geet se der raat bat kar raha tha!"

"Of course woh ye uss umar mein manega toh nahin naa! Bas ek raat ko phone pe baat dekhke shaq huwa tumhe? Tum toh Dev Vicky aur Annie mein uljhi huwi thi na...Maine dekha hain Maan ka bachpan…” Saying so Savitri dived into the fond memories of 15 years ago.

Flashback starts!

“Vllrumm...bhrllumm…” The little doll-like creature clapped her tiny hands in happiness.

Her curly hair is tied in a ponytail, making her resemble with pixie fairies.

“Aapko Pasand aaya Maan???…” The twelve-year-old Maan couldn't resist pulling her chubby cheeks seeing all her jumping around, “Haan baba...Bohot...Par doll tumhe ye car kaha se mili…”

“Woh naa...Kisine mele budday pe di thi…Me knows you like cals na…” She flashed her missing teeth enamored smile!

“My sweet doll...Thank you so much…” Maan again patted her small head as she forwarded her hand, “Ok ok...Palll...Mela choco?? Mujhe kitna bhukh bhi lagi...Tummy dekho…”

“Hmm...Toh yeah real reason hain… Aapne ye toy mujhe isliye di taake main aapko choco khilau…”

“You bad…” She pouted instantly!

“Aur phir tumhare sare dant mein cavity ho..." He held his laugh with great effort seeing her fuming red, "Waise bhi kuch hi toh dant hain tumhare...Woh bhi sare gir jayenge…”

“Pal me toh loz blush kalti hoon mumma ke sath…Aap bhi toh mujhe khud blush kalwate ho kabhi kabhi..” She was staring at Maan with her big innocent hazels as he just shook his head meaning no chocos for her!

“Aap mujhe choco nahin doge?? Phir katti...Mela cal wapas kalo...Mein Dev ko dungi...Woh zalul choco dega me ko...Huh!”

“Not a chance...Sawal hi paida nahin hota…” He glared at her unknown to the after-effects as she started crying right away!!

A stupified Maan immediately held her mouth, shaking her tiny shoulders, “Oye roo mat...Deta hoon choco...Kiya baat baat pe roo roo ke blackmail karti ho...bohot bad girl ho gayi ho Geet…Mummy se dant khilane ka accha tarika hain!”

“Lou nahin toh kiya kaloon...Koi mujhse pyaal nahin kalta...Blij veel (Brij) ji bas gussa kalta hain. Koi meko choco nahin deta...Ice cleam bhi no...Slif aap dete thhey pal aab aap bhi meko pyaal ni kalte...Srif gussa...Gussa gussa…”

“Oww...Baby...No no...Ok I am sorry...See I touched my ear...Sab tumse pyaar karte hain...Me sabse zayada…

Accha tumhe jo khani hain I will arrange...but...Please stop crying…

Dekho naak bhi behna start kar diya aab tumhara…” He lovingly held her red nose and gave a tender squeeze, "Hilo maat. Let me wipe."

The little Geet looked at him with her teary eyes and wiped her nose right at his shirt!!

Maan pretended to glare at her old antics while she grinned seeing his fake angry face. They both chuckled together followed by Maan wiping tears from her chubby cheeks and then fetching a bar of chocolate out that he reserved for exactly moments like this. In return, the sweet little Geet placed an innocent kiss on his cheek as a token of gratefulness filled with joy!

Savitri who was chatting with Rano noticed everything from a distance and a soft smile flourished on her face.

“Areh waah...Itni sundar car kaha se mila aapko Maan…” She pretended to be unaware.

“Doll...I mean Geet ne gift ki hain... isn't it so cool daadi maa…”

“Aapko Geet bohot pasand hain naa??”

“Bohot…”

“Humse bhi zayada??”

“Aap toh daadi ho…” He fluttered his eyelashes!

“Hmm...Aur aap bohot clever ho Maan…” Savitri ruffled Maan's hair and asked, “Accha batao Geet ko hamesha ke liye khurana house mein rakh de??”

“Sacchi Daadi?? It would be so awesome…”

“Haan...Par iske liye shaadi karni hogi naa Geet se...Bolo toh kiya kiya jaaye!!”

“Toh main kar loonga naa, isme kiya hain…" He was so instant in answering not even knowing the proper gravity while Savitri was smiling endlessly at his endearing naiveté, "And I will keep her here forever with me...Like that story of the prince...

Aur phir kitna khelenge hum sath mein...I love playing with her…”

“Par woh toh kitna baat karti hain...Aapko toh zayada baat karna pasand nahin…??”

“No Daadi maa...She blabbers so cute things... It's very funny...You know she talks with cats...dogs...birds anything she sees... It's hell funny…Aur sabka naam rakhti hain…

Woh bilkul pagal hain...aur alag bhi...” The way that innocent little kid in Maan used to describe his sweet playmate, it was more than enough to melt hearts!

In her heart, Savitri always knew what her reserved grandson wanted. With passing days he became more reserved and hard to read but the way he used to look at Geet is perpetual. Same yearning in his eyes.

Flashback ends.
