Geet's Apartment
----------------------
"Geet ..I've a confession to make.."
"Boliye na..Please... Now you are scaring me!!"
"Geet...there are lot of things you need to know about me.
I know that I've kept myself aloof from you, but not anymore dear...
I love you Geet.."
She stood frozen at the sudden confession, too stunned to
respond!
"Par Dev.."
"Please don't interrupt me today Geet..mujhe bolne do ..sab kuch
badal gaya hai meri life mein Geet!! You've brought this change
baby. You've made me a better person.
I want us to start our life together like any normal married couple.
I know I've been a bad husband, not giving you any time at all.."
"No Dev.." she opened her mouth to protest, but he cut her off .
"Yes, Geet..that's the truth..but do you know something????
You are the nicest,purest human being I've ever come across.
I've been behaving like a moron all these days , but you put up
with me without any complaints. But not any more dear...
I'll make it up to you baby...never ever will I neglect you.. I'll take
care of all my responsibilities towards you...promise..
I want to give you all the love and happiness in the world..
Just give me little more time dear...just a little more time..
Will you be kind enough to give your husband a second chance to
redeem his mistakes??"
"Definitely Dev!!..as you wish!!"
*******************************************************************************
She hoped, she sounded convincing enough..
She didn't know what to say..she was not in love with him,
but her conservative upbringing didn't let her think any other way..
"Geet.. listen carefully to what I've to tell you now...ho sake toh..
Please stay away from Maan!!"
Her breath caught in her throat.
"Oh God,why is he telling me this?? Did he notice anything?? Did
he understand about my feelings for Maan??"
She sat fidgeting with her dress unable to look him in the eye...
she suddenly felt like an adulteress!!
He mistook her silence..and said " Geet..please don't get
offended...See.. I'm really happy that you made a friend here, but
you chose the wrong person!"
"Ji, main samjhi nahin.."
"Geet,I can't tell you anything more at this point..Please try to
understand..I'm telling this for your own good!"
"Dev,I do understand your concern for me,par Maan bohot achcha
insaan hai..I think...there is some misunderstanding.."
"No Geet,I know him too well..He'll land both of us in trouble..
Trust me !"
*******************************************************************************
She wanted to trust him badly, he was her husband, but her heart
just refused to accept his words.
"No Dev, I know him well too. He is very caring and kind..he has
helped me a lot..He was always there when I needed a friend..I
don't know what happened to you.. last night ,you guys were
getting along like a house on fire..teasing me and all..what has
changed overnight??"
"Geet,last night I was just putting up an act for your sake..
samjhi??"
"Kya??"
"Haan Geet,main tumhara dil todna nahin chahtha tha..
but anyways, since you don't want to hear a word against your
dear friend Maan, I don't see any point continuing this
conversation any further...Well, I don't blame you for not trusting
me..Maybe this is what I deserve."
He gave a dejected sigh..
She was feeling very guilty..his disappointed face put her in more
misery...
He got up to walk way but felt a slight tug on his shirt..
"Yes Geet??"
"I'm sorry Dev.." Her gentle voice was laced with worry.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath..
He hated to see her like this...She was not the one at fault here.
Maan was using her but so was he...
***************************************************************************
He turned to look at her..She was sitting with her head bent,
shoulders slouched...one hand on her lap and the other still
clutching his shirt.
He sat next to her and gathered her into his embrace..
He gently kissed her forehead...and felt her body shaking with
silent sobs.
"Geet baby please..I can't see you like this..I love you so
much!!..Baby stop crying..I won't hide anything from you..
I promise..I'll tell you everything...everything about Maan and me!!"
She pulled back from his embrace and sat still gazing intently at
him.
"Geet..I don't know where to start...". He paused looking for the
right words..
She didn't even move a muscle..
" Geet..Maan and I,,ummm..we are not strangers to each other..
our acquaintance goes back a long way..."
"Dev, aap log ek doosre ko pehle se jaanta the?? par kaise??"
He looked very uneasy..it looked as though he was fighting with
his inner self...His expressions scared Geet!!
"Geet,my job here as a financial consultant is just a facade, to hide
my true identity and mission...there is a Dev behind this mask,
about whom you are not yet aware of!!!"
"Kya??" She felt weak and dizzy..
Who was this stranger standing before her in the guise of her
husband??
Why was he saying such strange things to her??
She was definitely in the midst of a terrible nightmare..Yes, that's
it!! Once she wakes up, everything will be back to normal..
"Geet..honey are you alright??" He shook her,seeing her sway..
She looked at him with a jolt..Oh so this was not a nightmare..this
was the reality of her life.
She suddenly felt very scared!!!
"Who are you Dev?? How many more secrets are hidden in you?"
"Geet..I'm Dev Malhotra..an officer with the Interpol..I'm an under
cover agent,who has come to Netherlands to annihilate a terrorist
group and end their activities!!"
She sat with her mouth agape,her eyes as round as saucers..
"Terrorists??"
"Yes..we had received information about terrorists activities in this
country..there are more agents like me here and we are working
towards the same goal..catch them before they strike..dead or
alive!!
We've identified most of the baddies,but yet to figure out the main
man - The Chief "
"Haaye Rabba!! Aap CID hai??"
He chuckled at her innocent question..
"haan,something like that!!"
"Toh issme Maan kahan se aa gaya???..Why you want me to stay
away from him??"
He took a deep breath..looking straight into her eyes..he said..
" Kyun Ki, Maan is the right hand man of this CHIEF !!"
