Hello all...back with the sliver jubilee chapter of Magical Moments...enjoy it 😊
Chapter 25
Re-cap: Maan and Geet talk about Maan's condition
and Geet promises to stand by him through everything.
A month later
Things were slowing getting back to normal in the
Khurana house. Maan was back home from hospital fending pretty well on his automatic
electric wheelchair. Dadi and Geet shifted his room and study to the lower
floor arranging everything so that he could easily move around without needing
much help. Maan slowly started taking on office work despite the protests from
everyone. He said that he would go crazy if he didn't occupy himself. He was
mostly working from home with occasional visits to the office to which Geet
always accompanied him.
Maan wanted to demolish the outhouse as it only
brought back bitter memories but Geet said that it also has sweet memories they
shared together. They settled on having the dcor redone making the place look
new.
Maan had literally shoved and pushed Vicky and Anna
out of the house to go on their pending honeymoon to Hawaii no matter how hard
they tried to convince Maan that they would go later. Dadi and Geet also went
along promising to take care of Maan and the business in their absence. They
agreed to go but planned to cut it short by returning in two weeks.
Maan had been going to hospital every two days for
his therapy session with one the therapist at the hospital. He was making slow
progress early on learning how to take care of himself without relying on
other. The therapist had taught Maan how to get out of bed, sit, roll and
manage his legs with his hands. Dr. Mehta commented by saying that he was sure
that Maan was determined to get his entire strength and if he kept making
progress like this, he could be walking soon. Maan's case was such that he was
suffering from impairment of his lower limbs but could feel his lower body,
which increased his chances of walking again.
But
starting today, a therapist by the name of Sasha Verma would be coming in treat
Maan. It irked Geet that a female therapist would be tending to Maan but she
brushed it off because Maan's health was the most important to her.
**********
Geet came into Maan's room with his breakfast as
Dadi was visiting the office today and insisted that Geet stayed home today
with Maan as it was his first day with his therapist.
"Good morning Maan", she said as she walked over to
his desk where he was already working his laptop. She set his breakfast tray on
the table and gave his a quick peck on the cheek.
"Good morning Geet", Maan said pulling her onto his
lap, which a habit he developed since he started using a wheelchair. At first,
Geet had been afraid that it would hurt him somehow. But to her dismay, he ran
it by Dr.Mehta who said there was nothing wrong with that as long as Maan was
not in pain.
Geet locked her arms around him to hug him
comforting herself as well him with the touch. Everyday she thanked Babaji who
returned Maan back to her.
"Come on, close your laptop. It's time for
breakfast.", she said getting off his lap to pull up a chair.
"Just two more minutes.", he said going back to his
laptop.
"Now Maan.", she said coming over closing the
laptop screen. He looked at her and she stared back challenging him to argue.
"I am sorry but your health is the most important to me."
"I know Geet. i am fine even Dr.Mehta says I am
gaining my strength back.", he said as he moved his wheelchair next to her to
enjoy breakfast with her
**********
A while later
Geet was coming out of the kitchen after checking
the lunch menu when Nakul came in.
"Geet madam, there is a lady here saying she is
Maan's therapist.", Nakul informed her.
"Oh Sasha Verma. Let her in."
A minute later, a young girl entered barely in her
early twenties who was definitely a size zero. She was wearing her black tracksuit
with a short baby pink spaghetti strap tank top that exposed more cleavage then
Geet would like. She had let her hair open and walked in more like a model than
a therapist. Geet had breathed a sigh of relief when she had looked down to
find Nike sneakers instead of heels.
"Hello I am Sasha Verma, and you are..., she said as
she held out her hand.
"And I am Geet Handa, Maan's fianc", she said
shaking her hand as Geet saw her smile fading a little at the mention of
fianc.
"Nakul, please direct Sasha to Maan's gym.", she said
to Nakul. "We will join you there in a minute", she said to Sasha giving her a
smile before he walked off.
**********
Geet walked to Maan's room where she was not
surprised to Maan sitting against his bed rest supported by fluffy pillows and
his legs stretched out resting his laptop typing away. He looked up as soon he
heard Geet come in.
"Hello beautiful.", he said setting the laptop to
the side.
"Hello handsome", she pecking his cheek quickly. "And
I hate to break it to you but you will have to leave your laptop because your anorexic
therapist is here.", she said with slight irritation.
"Anorexic?', he asked as he shifted his legs over
the bed and then put himself on the wheelchair without any help. It made Geet
proud that he was slowly getting back on his own feet.
"Yes anorexic, she is like a size zero wearing a
tank top that shows more than it covers and track pants glued to her skin", she
said with a scowl.
He sniffed her, "I think I smell something
burning.", he said with a playful smile.
"Oh please, I am not jealous as long she does her
job and nothing else.", she said walking out.
Maan chuckled and followed her out.
**********
Geet and Maan made their way to the gym where Sasha
was waiting. Sasha stood up with a wide smile as she saw Maan.
"Hi Maan, I am Sasha Verma.", she said holding her
hand out.
"Hi Sasha, and I am Maan, Maan Singh Khurana.", he
said and shook her hand.
"I have discussed your case with Dr.Mehta and he
has provided with all the information I need. So I say we get started with some
exercises.", she said and glanced at Geet for a second.
"I better get going and let you two work.", Geet
said hoping Maan wouldn't detect her glum expression but she knew they needed
to work one on one.
She started walking away when Maan held her hand to
stop her and she turned back to look at him.
"I am gonna miss you.", he said a twinkle in his
eyes rubbing his thumb over her fingers in a soothing way.
The man could read her so easily, she thought to
herself and couldn't help but smile, "I am going to miss you too.", she said
and bent down to brush their lips together. When they broke apart, Geet noticed
that Sasha was staring at them discreetly but with a frown her face.
Take that you man stealer, she said in her mind
because she had already given her answer. Giving him one last smile, she walked
out.
**********
One and half hours later...
Geet was working in the kitchen when she saw Sasha
leaving in a huff looking slightly angry. Worried that Maan must have said
something, she quickly wiped her hands on the cloth before she made her way out
but by then Sasha was gone. Just then Maan came out of the gym.
"Maan, is everything okay? Why did Sasha look so
angry?", she asked as she walked up to him.
"Oh that, don't worry about her. I just told her she
isn't going to be my therapist anymore.", he said causally as he was looking
through his blackberry.
"WHAT? Really?", she said happy yet surprised at
the turn of events.
"Yes, really", he said pulling her onto his lap
"But why are you worrying about her?, Worry about me baby" He started snaking
his arms around her waist pulling her closely and she immediately started to
wiggle out of his hold.
"Maaannn, behave yourself. What if someone
comes?", she scolded lightly slapping his shoulder.
"Well that's too bad then.", he said huskily. He
cradled her face in his palm as he leaned in to place butterfly kisses all over
her face as Geet quickly began to lose the ability to think straight. "I missed
you Misiti, I missed touching you", he whispered huskily. He slowly moved her
duppatta out of her neck letting it drop in her lap before he kissed her collarbone
moving along her neck with his lips sending waves of desire through her. " I
missed kissing you" He then moved up to her earlobe and lightly bit it. She
gasped at the sudden assault, he sucked and kissed it to soothe the earlier
bite.
"Maan", she whispered softly in a haze of desire as
she locked her arms his neck to reduce the distance if that was even
possible.
"My name never sounded sweeter", he said as he held
her chin looking her with tender love. "Then to said from your lips.", he said
as he inched closer to capture the luscious lips he was praising.
"Ahem ahem.", someone said from the back and they
both whipped their heads around to see Dadi standing there barely controlling
her laughter. Maan and Geet both turned beetle red with embarrassment. Geet
quickly got off Maan's lap and fumbled to put her duppatta back in place. Maan
suddenly started looking busy on his blackberry while Geet started stammering
to explain while glaring at Maan.
"Woh, Woh, Dadi Ma", she started to say.
"It's okay beta..i understand everything.", Dadi
said and finally burst out laughing as she walked away.
Maan smiled innocently at Geet whereas Geet glared
at him in anger huffing and puffing about throwing her under the bus.
**********
Three weeks later
The Khurana family could breathe a sigh of relief
as things were looking up in every direction. The business was running smoothly
with Vicky, Geet and Maan; Maan and Geet were back to work full time but Vicky
tried his best to reduce the workload for Maan doing all the traveling and
off-site related work.
Maan's health had shown vast improvement as far as him
even walking baby steps and Dr.Mehta had said at this rate, he would walking
very soon. Vicky, Dadi and Anna had done everything to assure he ate healthy
and on time. But the worst hilter was Geet who was extremely strict with Maan
never letting him skip his medicines or skip a meal.
**********
Vicky and Maan were in Maan's room as Vicky was
helping with a leg exercise his therapist had suggested who was thankfully a
male this time. But Geet teased him mercilessly about having a Dostana with
him. Maan had told her he now regretted firing Sasha but she didn't give a damn.
She had her payback for the embarrassment he had caused her in front to Dadi
the other day.
"Vicky", he said casually.
"Hmmm BB",
"Vicky, is
that bas***d alive?', he asked his brother directly, each word carried bitter
venom in it.
"woh BB,
actually, the thing is that---", he started to say he avoided looking at his
brother.
"Don't you dare lie to me Vicky Khurana.", he said
in a no nonsense voice as he glared at him.
"I laid off the questions for two months knowing
you were worrying about my health but you can't except me not to want to know
about that damn bas***d."
"BB--"
"If I could, I would shot all the bullets in the
world in his chest for trying to harm my Misiti. If something had happened to
her...then I don't know what I would do.', he said as anger coursed through his
veins, fire was clearly evident in his eyes and that scared Vicky but somewhere
in his voice, he could also detect a deep emotion, the emotion of hurt and fear
of almost losing the woman he loved and that made him want to tell the truth.
"BB, he is alive, He is in jail", was all he said
knowing his brother would only be angered further if he said more.
'Good, then we are going to see him tomorrow. There
are scores to be settled.", he said with a angry smirk. "Now, go to bed."
He settled himself on the bed lying down slowly.
Vicky turned on the lamp and turned off the lights before he headed to the
door.
"And Vicky", he said and his brother stopped at the
door." Not even a single word to Geet. I mean it.", Vicky slowly swallowed the
lump of fear and could only nod.
**********
The next morning
"Geet, Vicky and I are heading to a on-site location
for some work so Raju will drop you off at work", Maan announced at the
breakfast table. Both Geet and Vicky looked at Maan with shock.
"But Maan, you are not even suppose to be doing
on-site work yet", Geet protested. And before Maan could open his mouth to
defend himself, Geet started again "And you Vicky Khurana, forget him, he
doesn't care about his health but at least you should have the sense not to go along
with his nonsense.", she scolded him and he looked down in shame. Maan felt
guilty for doing this to him but he couldn't tell Geet the truth.
"I know Vicky, why are you letting Maan bhai stress
himself?", Anna asked looking upset at Vicky too.
Dadi looked equally upset but kept her silence as
her two daughters were handling her grandsons perfectly fine.
"But the thing is...that...i need some help from
BB...and I wasn't able to solve it myself so I had to ask him.", Vicky mumbled.
"No Geet ,it not his--", Maan started to say but
Vicky touched Maan's hand under the table signaling him not to say anything.
Maan mouthed a sorry to Vicky but he shook his head telling him it wasn't
necessary.
"I am sorry Bhabzz, it couldn't be helped and I need
BB's support. I promise I will take good care of him and get him back to the
office as soon as possible.", Vicky assured her.
Geet cooled down a bit and nodded at Vicky.
"Let's get going BB.", Vicky said wiping the ends
of his mouth with his napkin and getting up eager to get the ordeal done with.
Both the couples shared a private moment
separately.
Vicky leaned in to give Anna a kiss on the forehead
,a hug and a quick I love you before he rushed out to the car.
On the other hand
"Please take care of yourself and don't overwork.",
she said quietly.
Maan nodded with a smile. He wriggled his finger
gesturing her to come forward. She leaned in and he grazed his lips against her
forehead.
"I love You.", he whispered.
"Me too.", she said back.
He then made his way to the car while Geet stayed
back quickly wrapping up breakfast.
"Anna, I am going to head out too. Call me if you
need anything.", she said finishing her tea off in a hurry.
She gave a quick hug to both Dadi and Anna before
she started her day too.
**********
Delhi Central jail
"Prisoner 123, you have a visitor, let's go", the
constable said smacking his stick loudly against the bars waking the man with a
startle.
"Huh, who is here to visit me ?", Adi grumbled
lifting his head off his knees.
"I don't know, I don't have time for your nonsense.
Let's go", the constable barked opening the cell door. Adi winced as he lifted
his aching body from the hard rock bench. The constable handcuffed his hands
together before roughing leading him down the hall.
The private visitor room door opened and both Maan
and Vicky looked up. The constable shoved Adi through the door before he locked
it.
Adi's eyes filled with surprise as he saw Vicky and
Maan that too in a wheelchair.
"Well, Well, look who is it...Maan Singh
Khurana...that too in the flesh", he said settling himself comfortably in the
chair. Vicky felt disgusted looking at the man who he thought was a friend
almost like family. He glanced in Maan's direction to see his fist balled up
and his temple veins showed he has barely controlling his anger.
"Vicky, leave", he ordered.
"No way BB, I am not going to leave you here with
him", he said not worried for his brother but the safety of Adi was in great
danger.
"Vicky!!"
"But BB---"
"Leave Vicky, I promise not to do anything
reckless", he told him. "Now go", he said giving his brother a nudge towards
the door. Vicky reluctantly walked out the door telling the constable to keep
an eye of them while he went to meet someone else.
Maan
glared at Adi tempted to rip his throat while Adi smiled at him.
"Looks like the great Maan Singh Khurana survived
the bullet but it's a pity to see that your legs are useless now.", he said
with sarcasm and pretended to wipe a lone tear from the corner of his eye.
"Why, you bas***d", he yelled wheeling towards him
and grabbed his collar. Just then the constable came in but Maan stopped him
right at the door with just one look. "Don't pity me you bas***d because I am
just in a wheelchair for the time being but you...you", he said jerking his
collar harder as he was helpless with his handcuffed hands. "You are going to
rot in this jail for the rest of your life not being to use your fully capable
hands; I will bloody make sure of this.", he said shoving his aside with so
much force that he fell off the chair. Adi got up with anger running through
him and he charged towards Maan. The constable ran to stop him.
"NO, Leave him. Let me see what the bas***d can do
with his useless hands.", Maan yelled giving Adi the dirtiest glare.
"YOU, I WILL KILL YOU", Adi screamed charging
towards Maan again. Without any effort, Maan punched him his gut and he fell to
his knees with a painful grunt. He then held him by the collar again as he
punched on the face, right and left and then right and left again holding him
in place with his collar.
"STOP...HIM...STOP", he yelled in pain between punches but the
constable made no move to stop Maan.
"I don't need my damn legs to beat you to death",
he declared angrily giving him one last shove to throw him on the ground from
which he didn't move a muscle to get up. "You bas***d", he said with disgust
suddenly having the urge to kick him in the gut. And he did just that; kicked
him right in the gut. He looked at his leg in surprise as he felt a wave of
pain hit him.
"SABAB", the constable yelled coming to his side.
Both the constable and Adi looked at him in surprise while Maan was surprised
himself that he had actually kicked him.
"Sabab ji, are you okay?', the constable asked with
worry. "I will call Vicky sabab right now.", he said in a rush getting up
"Wait, it's okay...the pain...was...worth it...", he
uttered slowly as pain gripped his leg. "bring him...here", he said to the
constable wincing in pain. The constable dragged the beat up Adi to bring him in front of Maan
and pushed him so he fell on his knees and he grunted in pain again.
"Remember one...last thing...you bas***d", he said
holding him by the collar again. "Geet- is ONLY-MINE", he stressed each word. "
And you are going to rot in this jail for the rest of your damn life", he
finished throwing him back and wheeled himself out.
Another constable came to lead Maan out while Adi
was dragged away. Maan went outside looking for Vicky but he was nowhere in
sight. He rang his cell not he didn't pick up . He gestured the inspector to
come, and he came running
"Yes sir"
"Where is Vicky?", he asked.
"Woh Sir---"
"I am here BB", Vicky said from behind. "Are you
okay BB? The constable told me you kicked Adi", he said with worry as he came
next to his wheelchair.
"I am fine...just a little bit of pain. But where
were you?", he asked his brother and Vicky suddenly turned fearful. "Where were
you Vicky?", he asked more seriously this time.
"I went to meet DB (dev bro) ", he said quietly.
**note: remember since the beginning of this FF,
Dev is serving his time for what he did to Geet. And the family had hidden this
fact from Vicky...but if there are any confusion, do ask me **
"WHAT", he asked in shock.
Pre-cap: "Let's get married Geet. I don't want to
wait anymore.", Maan said as he rested his head on her shoulder.
Well...that's it for this chapter...not very happy with my writing nowadays...but let me know how u think it was...Remember to leave your likes and precious comments...😊
Love,
Reya <3
