Part 30:
Geet stood rooted to the spot, her mind completely giving up on her. The thugs came walking towards her with sinister sneers while all she could do was think of Maan lying onthe road, unconsious. Only when Ramu dragged her by the hand did she come to her senses but voice seemed to fail her. She was terrified. Panic constricted her throat.
She wanted to scream Maan! but her throat was too dry to formulate words. They kept dragging her into the forest, her struggles doing nothing to deter them since they were physically no match for her. Babaji! her mind screamed. What was happening? Tears cascaded down her eyes as they kept on dragging her.
Maan! finally she got her voice back. MAAN! she creamed with all her might. MAAAN! she sobbed out aloud. Maan! she started chanting and the thugs lost thier patience. The guy named Ramu threw her against the tree, banging her head in the process.
Geet felt her head spinning after she banged the tree. The pain was so intense that she thought she was dying. Maybe Babaji had actually answered her prayers. She wanted to die before those morons could as much as lay a finger on her.
Ramu grabbed her hairs pulling her towards him. "Jabse meine thujhe dekha hai, mein tho tera deewana hogaya hun. Aur thu hai ki kisi aur chokre ke saath rangraliyan mana rahi hai! Teri itni himmath!Mujhe dekhthi tak nahin hai. Aur us chokre ke baahon mein jaakar girthi hai? Pehle mein thujhe dekhunga aur phir us chokre ko. " Ramu laughed and the others joined him.( From the time my eyes have witnessed your being, i've been going totally crazy about you. Day and night i cant stop thinking about you. I'm mad about you. And you are romancing with another man? Do you think you can get away with it? You dont even give me a second glance and you readily fall into the arms of another man? First i'll tackle you and then i'll tackle him)
Inspite of the blinding pain, Geet felt her blood boiling. How dare they talk like that about Maan?
"Tum hote kaun ho ki mein thumhein dehkun? Agar thum is duniya ke aakhri insaan bhi hote tho koi kutta bhi thumhein sunghne se piche hat jata. Shayad thum jaanthe nahin ho ki who aadmi jo mere saath tha, who kaun hai! Koi baat nahin, mein thumhein batati hun. Woh Khuraana Constructions ka maalik hai aur thum sab unke naukar. Thum kya unhe dekhloge, thumhaari aukaad unke juthe ke baraabar bhi nahin hai. Ab thum log nahin bach paoge. Maan Singh Khuraana se panga bahut bura idea tha!" Geet spat at thier faces and in return she recieved a tight slap which caused her lips to start bleeding.
But Geet could see that the men were visibly shaken. They definetely did not know what they had gotten themselves into. She now had a little hope that they would leave her alone and run away. But instead they started laughing more.
"Ab itni takleef uthayi hai, tho uska fal tho milna chahiye na. Tere saath ek raath guzaarne ke liye hum kuch bhi karsakthe hain, tho ye tho kuch bhi nahin hai. Tumse humaari bhook khatan karne ke baad tum tho zinda hi nahin bachogi, tho Maan saab ko pata kaise chalega ki yeah sab kisne kiya hai? Is se pehle ke unhe pata chale, hum tho bahut dur pahunch jayenge, aur thum upar." Laughing all the three surrounded her but Ramu stopped the other two.
"Yeh pehle meri maal hai tho pehle mein iska maza lunga. Phir thum log iske saath jho chahe kar sakthe ho, lekin pehle meri baari." the other two gave up and sat there, opening cheap alcohol bottles to watch the fun while Ramu pushed her against the tree. When Geet struggled they just enjoyed for a while and then Ramu threw away her dupatta.
"Maan!" Geet cried terrified. "Maan!" she sobbed as Ramu dragged her by the hairs. "Chodo Mjhe. Please chodo mujhe. Maan sir thumhein nahin chodenge." Geet wailed as Ramu struggled to kiss her. When she felt her salwar tear off, all fight left her. She wished she could die this very moment. Silent tears left her eyes as she closed her eyes and waited for her death. Ramu pushed her to the ground and got on top of her. Geet couldnt feel anything. She just closed her eyes and thought of her Maan, her family, Pinky, Meera, Aadi, Dev and all those who were close to her.
Suddenly she heard the noise of breaking glass and Ramu slumped over her. No sooner had he fallen on her when he was kicked off her body. She slowly opened her eyes and what she saw shocked her. Maan was standing over her, a broken bottle in his hand and murder written all over his face.
Ramu held his hand to his bleeding head while the other tow hesitatingly got up to join the fight. But Maan was like a man possessed. Before they could come to him, they were on the ground holding their stomachs while Maan hit them in such a manner that Geet heard the cracking of their bones. She had never seen him like that. There was blood in his eyes. As if breaking their bones was not enough he lifted up a big stone and went towards Ramu. Terrified Geet screamed Maan! and that was enough to stop him. He threw the stone near Ramu's head.
"Nobody touches Geet. I will kill anybody who even gives a second glance at her. And you worthless creatures had the guts to touch her? I will wipe your very exitence of this earth." Saying, he pickes up the stone again but he stopped hearing Geet sobbing.
He unbottened his shirt and went near her, giving her half nude body respect by covering her. No sooner did he cover her than she hugged him and started crying madly. Her sobs rocked him and his heart was bleeding seeing her in pain.The fact that she had to go through so much even with his being there was killing him from within. Even though he was lying unconsious on the road, his subconsious could feel Geet crying out for him. Even though the pain was blinding him he got up and began searching for her and when he the saw her plight, it made him a mad man. He wanted to rip those morons off thier skin and break every bone in thier body until they begged for death. It was only Geet's sons that held him back. He engulfed her in his embrace, whispering consoling words in her ears.
After a long time when Geet stopped sobbing, Maan helped her to her feet and they made thier way out of the forest. Rain was pouring down which wasnt helping them much. Maan felt like his head was banging. He couldnt remember which way he had come due to the pain engulfing him. Suddenly Geet tripped over a stone and hurt her ankle. Silently she tried to get up, but the strength had just left her.
Just then she felt herself being lifted off the ground and being carried by strong arms. She clasped his neck as she looked into the eyes of her saviour, her man. She kept staring at him as he made his way through the forest. From this day on, undoubtedly she was his and only his. She had no doubts left that she was madly in love with this arrogant, rude, stupid but amazing man. The very thought made her heart swell with love for him. She had seen many avatars of him but the look she had seen in his eyes today while he was close to murdering those men, left her speechless.
Soon they came accross a small hut. They were totally exhausted and fully drenched. Maan kicked open the door of the hut and gently laid her on a stack of hay piled up at the corner. Maan slowly closed the door and looked around the dark hut for some source of light. He could make out in the dark that Geet was shivering. He went outside the hut and picked up two stones. Then he gathered some hay and rubbed the stones until the sparks flew and lit the hay.
Geet was sitting in a corner, shivering. Maan came to her and gently carried her near the fire to warm her. They both sat near the fire, and Maan remove off his wet vest, exposing his wet body to the fire. Geet who saw this action through the corner of her eyes felt her stomach go jittery. She went near the small window at the corner of the hut and started unbraiding her her plaited hair in order to dry it. She kept patting her hair in an attempt to dry it off, the water droplets falling on him and stirring up his emotions emotions.
Maan watched mesmirized as Geet untied her long hair and left it loose. Then she peeled off his wet shirt from her body, exposing her wet back to him, awakening those strange desires. Slowly she turned and came back to sit by the fire while Maan quickly averted his eyes.They both sat silently, gazing at the fire.
She was very much aware of Maan sitting next to her and in an effort to cut off the ache filleing through her, she closed her eyes. No sooner did she close it than the horrifying incident which just took place, came before her eyes. She let out a small scream and Maan quickly came over to her.
"Geet are you alright?" He touched her shoulders and Geet hugged him as sobs racked her body.
"Ssh Geet, its alright. I'm with you. Nothin can happen to you when i am there." he whispered into her hairs, gathering her to him.
"Ma-an sir, tho-se me-n, tho-se men, wh-a-t if th-ey di-d somethi-ing to t-o me? Wh-at if yo-u di-d not re-ac-h at the ri-g-ht time? " Geet said in between hicupps.
"Geet, dont ever talk like that." Maan made her look at him. "As long as i am alive, you will be safe. Until my last breath i will protect you. Nothing, i mean mothing can touch you as long as there is life in me." he declared fiercely with conviction and Geet covered his mouth with her fingers.
"Please dont talk like that. You cannot leave me alone. What would happen to me without you?" Geet cried and Maan looked at her shocked. It was then that Geet realized what she spoke. She tried to remove her hand from his mouth but he held it in place.
Slowly he started placing wet kisses on her palms while Geet closed her eyes in sheer ecstasy. He pulled her to him and she fell on his hrad body. He placed her hands behind his neck while he kissed his way from her palms to her shoulder.
She opened her eyes and looked at him with all the love that shone in her eyes. What she did next shocked them both. She laid down near the fire turning her neck to give him more access.
Maan was shocked at her complete surrender. Emotions overtook him. He came over her, resting his hard body on her soft one. Her soft breath on his face was driving him crazy. When she felt his face nearing hers, she parted her lips in anticipation. He captured her lips scorchingly which left her aching in sweet agony. She moaned as his tongue entered her mouth and started exploring her secret sweetness.
She wrapped her hands aorund his neck, bringing her closer to him. He pulled away her torn sleeves and started licking her wet shoulders. Geet clutched his hairs and crushed his face into her bossom. He bit her breasts over her clothes and she writhed and moaned under him. His hands went inside her top and pulled the dori freeing her pants. Geet gasped as his hands went around her naked back and unclasped the hook of her bra.
Maan! she moaned out aloud as his hands cupped her breasts and this was enough to bring him back to reality. What was he about to do? Was he crazy! He was going to do the very same thing to her, from which he had saved her just moments ago. She was vulnerable but he was not. As much as he wanted to make love to her, he knew she would regret it the next morning. She was not in her senses but he was, and he could not let his emotions overtake his rational thinking.
Geet felt the warmth leaving her as he got off her and went to stand near the window. She went towards him and hugged him from the back.
"I'm scared. Please dont leave me!" she cried into his back.
"Geet, i'm not going anywhere. I'm right here. Please don't cry." Maan said as he hugged her to him, trying to control himself. Maan could feel Geet shivering due to the cold and the fire small fire he lit was almost dieng down. She needed warmth else she could fall terribly sick.
He laid her on the hay and tried covering her with hay, but it was not helping. She held his hand in an attempt to absorb his warmth. She needed his warmth. He could not think of his own pleasure. He had to control himself.
He laid down next to her and pulled her into his body, wrapping his hands around her waist and trapping her legs in between his legs. Her soft body was making him lose control and he had to shake his head several times to clear his thoughts.
After sometime he lifted his head to find that she was sleeping serenly, engulfed into the protection of his arms. He lightly kissed her forehead as sleep overtook him.
*****************************
As the first rays of the rising sun filtered through the window and fell on her face, Geet slightly opened her eyes to feel herself in somebody's embrace. She turned around to see Maan in a deep sleep, with his body wrapped securely around hers. As she placed her hand gently on his face, she remembered the all the events of the last night. With tears in her eyes she remembered how he had saved her and when she was so vulnerable, he did not take advantage of her, rather he tried protecting her in every way.
She slowly removed his hands off her window and went to stand near the window. One thing was for sure. She would never forget the night. Her entire life was changed. He may not love her, but she was indebted to him forever, for what he had done to her. He may not be Geet ka Maan but she would forever be Maan ki Geet.
She felt him stirring in the sleep. Quickly she took his shirt and draped it around herself.
Maan got up to see Geet standing at the window avoiding his gaze. He put on the dry vest and announced that they should leave.
In the daylight they quickly made thier way outside the forest. When they reached the road, Maan found that his cell was totally damaged. Geet went inside the car and checked her bag. Her cell was where she had left it. Maan borrowed her cell and called his security. Within no time two cars came. One car stayed behind to bring his car while they went in another car.
Before they could reach home, the car stopped outside a boutique and somebody esorted Geet to the latest range of designer clothes. Geet selected the simplest of them all, a bottle green salwar suit which was quite expensive but she vowed to pay him back as soon as possible.
Soon the car pulled outside Geet's home and before she could get out of the car, Maan held her hand in reassurance and she smiled at him. She did not want to get out of the car. She wanted to be with him.
She reluctantly got out of the car and walked some distance but her heart was with him. On an impulse she turned back and found him out of the car and looking at her. Without any thought she ran to him and hugged him with all her might. "Thank you for everything." she whispered to him while he simply held on to her.
Soon they broke out of the hug and Maan took his leave. Smiling she turned back to get another shock. Her whole family including Darjee, Mummji, Papaji, Brij veerji and his wife, Pinky and her father and Meera were staring at her with thier hands on thier hips giving her an accusing look.
