Ch.20
Recap:
He watched them from the door hiding himself well. No one questioned him, as they all knew him but just not his intentions. He had casually walked upstairs as he saw them both leaving after Maan fixed her pallu. I had stared at her when her pallu fell off wanting to devour her body. But that Maan had taken her upstairs. Maan Singh Khurana was in for a surprise because before Vicky's wedding would be over, Geet Handa would be mine.
Ch. 20
Yash watched from a distance as Pari handled the wedding arrangements. He leaned against the pillar pretending to check his phone as he watched her from the corner of his eye. She looked so beautiful, he thought as he admired the way she absentmindedly tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. Then she laughed a rich laugh he absolutely loved: the laugh where she threw her head back and her eyes twinkled. Even with the 20 feet distance, he could see the twinkle in her eyes. She really is a beautiful angel, he thought as he smiled to himself.
"If you love her then why don't you just tell her?", a voice said from behind.
Yash whipped his head around to see the to-be groom grinning as he caught him red-handed.
"So why haven't you confessed to your angel ?", Vicky asked as he slung his arm around Yash's shoulder taking the liberty of being close friends they had become over the wedding prep.
"Pssshhh, I do not love her.", Yash said as he shrugged Vicky's shoulder off and walked off to the garden to check the arrangements. Vicky was quick to follow him.
"Seriously Yash, you honestly think that. Any idiot can tell that you love her just by looking at your face.", Vicky said as he sat down on the bench while Yash pretended to work as he roamed around.
"Well tell them to stop looking at me then", he said irritated at himself for being so transparent. If Vicky can tell then does it mean Pari can tell too, he thought He fiddled with one thing or the other to avoid Vicky's observing eyes.
Vicky walked up to Yash to stand right in front of his face, "Think from your heart Yash, Do you love her ?", Vicky asked and instantly Yash's face lit up with a smile. Vicky grinned in return getting the answer he wanted. Realizing that Yash exposed himself, he attempted to cover it.
"Come on man, she is my best friend. How can I be in love with her? And What if she doesn't even feel the same way?"
"How will you know if you don't tell her?" Just tell her how you feel", Vicky suggested.
"No dude, it' not that easy. I love her as a friend too. We have been friends for the longest time. I don't want to lose our friendship."
"Come on Yash, you have to take a chance. Just tell her how your feelings changed for her. Okay listen, pretend I am Pari and let your feelings out", Vicky suggested.
Yash took a deep breath, "Okay, Okay, I can do this. Let's try." Yash came close to Vicky and held both his hands and grazed into his eyes pretending he was talking to Pari. "Pari, I have known you all my life and we have been best friends for as long as I can remember. We have been there for each other through thick and thin. You know that I love you, right? But now I am in love with you. Recently, I find myself watching you, loving you every second. I have sleepless nights and when I do sleep, I only dream of you. When I get up the next day, I look forward to only seeing you. I don't know how to explain it but all I know that I am hopelessly in love with you."
"YASH!!!!!", someone exclaimed from the back. Both the men whipped their heads around to see Pari staring at them with wide eyes who hadn't heard the whole confession but just the last bit.
"Yash, I can't believe this. You fell in love with the groom!!. You didn't even tell me you liked men!", Pari yelled in disbelief.
Both Yash and Vicky stared at Pari and then each other, "NOOO", they screamed at the same time as they disengaged their hands in haste.
"No, no Pari, you stupid. I am not in love with Vicky", Yash attempted to explain.
"Then what the hell were you doing confessing your undying love to him", Pari asked in anger hoping it would cover the hurt she felt.
"No idiot, I am not in love with him. I am in love with YOU" Yash said as grabbing her shoulders and staring into her eyes.
Vicky slipped away quietly leaving the lovebirds alone, satisfied that his job was done.
************************
Khurana Mansion 7:00pm
Khurana Mansion was buzzing with noise and people as the youngest Khurana brother Vicky Singh Khurana was just a few hours away from tying the knot. Pari and Yash rushed around, running through everything with their staff and checking all the arrangements. Even in this busy wedding house, they found each other's eyes through the crowd and felt the love they had for each other.
Maan walked out of his room all dressed up in his sherwani; he just got off the phone with the detectives who had assured him there were more than enough detectives under cover and then they would do their best to find the man and keep Geet safe. Maan was happy for his brother but his nerves were on the edge.
"Hey BB, so how do I look?", Vicky asked with a grin as he posed like the model.
Maan went up to his brother and adjusted his sherwani, "You look like a prince. I can't believe it, my playboy brother is getting married. I am so happy you have found Anna.", Maan said before the brothers hugged.
"Don't my grandsons just look adorable?", Dadi said from the doorway. Vicky and Maan smiled as their Dadi made her way to them and hugged them tight. Dadi was both the groom side and the bride side as she was performing the rituals from both sides.
************************
Khurana Outhouse
The Khurana outhouse was chirping with the laughter of girls as Annabelle was being pampered. She felt like a princess as she had been people hovering over her as someone did her hair and someone did her makeup, and etc. Geet was part of all the preparations everything as a sister.
"You look beautiful Anna", Geet said as she admired her bridal attire.
"Thanks Geet. You will be wearing this very soon too", Anna said as she hugged her.
"Both my daughters are looking like princesses today", Dadi said as she kissed them both and hugged them. "I am going to go back to the main house so I can bring the Barat with my grandsons. Geet, make sure Anna is all ready." With that Dadi was off to the Khurana Mansion.
************************
Vicky Singh Khurana was all ready to be married for the second time to the same girl but just as happy. Riding a horse and people dancing, the Khuranas made the short trip to the outhouse. Dadi stepped away from her grandsons and went to stand at the doorstep to welcome them. With the tika ritual done, she stepped aside to welcome them but their path was blocked.
"Sorry brother-in-law, if you want to get entry to see your bride you have pay some..", Geet said as she stood behind the cloth with a grin on her face.
Maan admired her beauty for a second ignoring everything else; she looked beautiful in her pink saree. He then watched as both the sides fought for the money; Vicky would have to give it so what was the point of arguing about it, that Maan didn't understand. Sooner or later, Vicky did indeed give the money and Vicky was allowed entry.
************************
The scenario changed back to the main house where the wedding is taking place. Vicky sat at the altar waiting for this bride; he stood up as he watched her descend the stairs with Geet and Dadi on either side. They sat her down and the priest started the mantras.
Maan came to stand next to Geet and held her hand, "You look beautiful Misiti", he whispered.
Geet squeezed his hand lightly, "Thanks, you look quite handsome yourself", she whispered back.
Then in silence, they watched the as Vicky and Anna became life partners hoping they would soon see this day too.
It was soon time for the bidaai even though Anna would be coming back to the house, Dadi wanted to perform all the rituals, as Anna was her daughter before she was daughter-in-law.
Geet held the tray of rice Anna threw back before she hugged Geet, Dadi and Meera. Geet watched everyone leave as she rushed around with Pari to make sure everything was ready to welcome Vicky and Anna back as a married couple in a few minutes. Just then her cell phone beeped; it was a text message from Maan.
"Geet, I need to see you now. I know who the person is. Meet me at the outhouse now."
Geet widened in shock as she read the text. She told Pari she would be back as she ran to the outhouse. The outhouse was vacant as all the wedding noise was at the main house. Geet looked around outside but she didn't see Maan.
"Maan, Maan, where are you?", she called out as she stepped in.
Just then someone grabbed her waist from the back and held a gun to her temple. "So we finally meet Handa", a voice said.
Geet felt her blood run cold as she recognized the voice. No it couldn't be, she told herself.
************************
I laughed along with everyone as ring finding ritual was being performed looking around for Geet. She was stayed back to get everything but where was she now? First, I thought she was being with the prep but she should have been here for the rituals. I stepped away to call her, I checked my pockets for my phone but apparently it was missing. Panic started to hit me slowly as I felt something amiss. I went up to Pari and asked her to step aside.
"Pari, Do you know where Geet is", I asked.
"Umm I don't know Maan Sir, she told me she was going to back.", she said.
"But was she okay, I mean, did she look upset or worried?", I asked anxiously hoping to get some answers
"She'she did seem a little rattled. I saw her reading a text message before she ran out", Pari said.
I silently gestured all the guards to start looking around as I tried to find my phone again. When all my efforts went in vain, I ran out to check the premises before all I called the police from the landline making sure the family didn't find out anything.
I looked around with the guards checking every place. Then I thought of the outhouse, thinking she must have needed something from there. I ran there and threw open the door. Shock and horror hit me as I saw her at gunpoint and the man was''
"ADIII!!!!", I yelled.
Precap: I sighed in relief as I saw my knight in amour burst through the door, "Maan", I yelled as I tried to escape Adi's tight grip but he pressed the gun into my temple harder making me wince in pain .
"ADI, what the hell do you think you are doing? Let Geet go, are you out of your mind", Maan yelled as anger and worry ran through his body
