Chapter 24 - What I have done
After few days

"Your closeness is affecting me..." he could feel the words echoing again and again, he was cursing himself for not able to give her the commitment...

"Geet, I know what I am going through for not able to commit to you...not able to assure you that I will not let you go through pain again..."

He looked at the watch; she should have come by now for the review meeting. He went to conference room...as he entered he saw her sitting closely with Raj...he didn't know why but suddenly he could feel he didn't liked their closeness...

They were looking at something eagerly...

After the meeting, their eyes met, he felt guilty looking in them but she smiled at him and started packing her bags and Laptop.

With heavy heart, he came out and heard Raj talking on the phone...

"Yes, surely I will make her come today, she is avoiding me for quite long..."

He looked at Raj questioningly...Raj winked at him..."Ms...Handa..."

and he felt like hitting him hard and came back to his cabin...feeling helpless...

"How can she go with him...? So what was that she told him few days back...?, She said, he is affecting her..."



He moved restlessly around and then saw them going out...He couldn't control himself, rushed out of his cabin and grabbed her hand, dragged her in his cabin...

"Maan, what are you doing...?"

"How can you go out with him...?"

"What do you mean...?"

"I mean with that b**** Raj...you know I love you..."

She stared him deeply...trying to understand what he said...what he meant...

"Maan, You have no rights to interfere in my life..."

"Geet, you cannot do this to me..."

"Maan, leave me...and let me go..."

She forcefully released herself from his grip...and went away...

He angrily looked at her...frustrated... he thrashed what ever came in his hands...broke the window panes...


At home

He didn't know...how much he has taken...the while room was stinking...everything around was broken...and each second passing was like he was in hell, probably death was better then knowing that she is with some other man now...

He splashed the bottle started crying loudly...his heart tearing away...

"How can she do that...? She knows he loves her...She also said, she feels for me...
So, she is back to her ways, I was wrong to judge her, I was wrong who was trying to ignore her ways...her past...I felt she is a warm person beneath her cold shell but she didn't changed...once I couldn't commit to her, she started again..."

He was neither able to sleep nor could keep his eyes open...restless, dying each and every moment...



Morning he got up and dragged his feet to her house...he has to talk to her, she cannot do this to him, because of her he is going mad...

She opened the door..."Maan...at this time..." then she looked at him closely...

"Maan...you are drunk..."

"and what else you can expect me...? How could you do this to me Geet...?" he almost fumbled

"Maan..I cannot allow you in this condition...better go out...or I will be forced to throw you out..."

"Yes...that is what you will do...I said I cannot commit to you and you went out with that B***, without thinking about me...my love for you..."

"What love...? Is this what you call love...?..So shallow...?"

"My love is shallow...? How dare you say that...?"

"Yes...please go away..." she dragged him out of the door...

But he didn't leave, holding her tightly...his hands almost bruised her shoulder, he was now crying...

"Geet...you cannot feel what I went through whole night, I encountered thousand deaths..."

She released herself from his hold, tears started filling in...

"Maan, Last night what pain I have gone through, you will never understand..."

and she closed the door...

It stuck him..like a bolt...he died another death..."What I have done...?"


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


He got up...his head was still heavy and he found himself in his room...morning incidences started flashing...and he remembered her teary face...

"Maan what have you done...You didn't trust her...whatever you had hidden inside, your fears about her... came out..."

He wanted to kill himself, for being so...She is right, his love is shallow...he just wants to be near to her...he doesn't want to commit anything to her...he has proved to himself that he has no trust in her...

"Maan...tu uske layak nahin, tu pyaar ke layak nahin...tujhmain himmat nahin hain, now at least leave her in peace..."

Chapter 25 - I can face anything for you.
After few days

He was staring blankly...last few days...he is not able to face himself...all his values ...all his principles which he used to be so proud of failed him...failed him to understand her...he was stuck in his emotions...in his feelings, he thought its he who will go through pain in accepting her...She will be a disaster in his life...

But its not her, its actually him who is not able to live to his values with what he has grown up...he could not commit to her that he will be there in her journey with him...he will be there to see that she doesn't suffer again...he will take care of her each and every need...he will take care of Yash's need...he couldn't so that...he just thought about himself...himself...only...

Now how can he face her...? She didn't wanted anything from him, only his assurance and that also he could not give her...

And now he is forcing himself on her but what he is giving her...nothing...He has always insulted her...but she never said anything...he crossed all limits with her but still she didn't say anything...

He can no longer face her...its not she...but its him, who doesn't deserve her...he is the one who is coward...he has no courage to accept her going against his family...

He was feeling so guilty inside, he decided to stay in his cabin...knowing very well , today they have a meeting scheduled and probably she is already in...He cannot face her...he cannot meet her...Her teary eyes, haunt him each and every second...

After sometime Adi called him..."Sir, will you please attend today's meeting..."

"No, Adi you please carry on..I am not well..."

He closed his eyes...how is she...? he wanted to know badly but he held himself..."Maan, tu kitni baar usse maafi maangega...?"


After some time Adi, came back in his cabin...

He looked eagerly at him..."Adi, how was the meeting...?"

"Sir, meeting was smooth...but..."

"BUT...? "

"Sir...bad news...Geet Handa has resigned from SolarEnergy, Raj Chopra will now be looking in this project..."

"Geet has resigned...but why...?" suddenly all his cells became active, he got up from his seat.

"I don't know...but Raj told me, she is taking some assignment outside India...probably UK..."

"Oh NO...how can she go...?"



He rushed out of his cabin, took his car and straight landed at her house...

"Geet..." he amost shouted as he entered inside...

He saw her coming out...he rushed to her...

"Geet, please listen to me...You cannot leave everything and go...I will not be able to live with out you..."

She didn't hear him...she moved fast and took her car out...

"Geet, why are you not giving me one chance...at least give me one chance...I know main maafi ke layak bhi nahin..."


She looked at him...disgusted...

"Maan, will you please stop this now, I have an emergency...I have to rush to hospital..." and she went inside again...

he rushed with her...he was aghast to see Yash, he was bleeding; he picked him hurriedly...

"Geet...how it happened...?"

"Maan, right now I cannot explain..."

and she started her car, he without asking came inside, holding Yash.



Yash had bled profusely when then reached hospital, he rushed him inside as soon she stopped the car, straight to the emergency... The doctors were already there as he had called them before...

They waited anxiously as they took him to operation theatre...major head injury...

She was restless...moving...holding her tears and he kept staring her...

"What is she..? Will I ever understand her...?"

After longs Hrs, Yash was shifted to ward, they were allowed to see him, She smiled...as she saw Yash and he felt lighted, all his stress released seeing her smile...


After 2 days

Yash was discharged today, and they reached home. He waited anxiously for her to come out, she had gone inside with Yash...For last 2 days, he was with her round the clock...helping her...talking to her...and talking to Yash...

She came out...

"Maan, thanks for all you help."

"Geet, Can I take care of Yash tonight? I mean, you need rest..."

"Maan, not needed, I am fine, I can take care..."

"I know, you can take care...You have done all these years...I just want to take care tonight..."

He almost pleaded her...she was not sure...his eyes requested her again and She nodded, he followed her to his room and then saw Yash...he was sleeping...

"Geet, thanks for this..."

She smiled at him and left...and he felt peace...he came near to Yash and sat...

Morning

He didn't realize when she came inside...he was in deep sleep...

"Maan..." she called him few times...

"Maan..." she again called him...shaking him...

He got up, smiled at her...he was feeling very peace seeing her near to him then he looked at Yash...who was in deep sleep...and he felt being part of family...

"Maan...What would you like to have ? Tea or Coffee...?"

"Geet, nothing...I only want to say I am sorry..."

She was mum...silent...

He came closer to her...

"Geet, you were right...my love for you was really shallow, I formed so many prejudices...You were so different then what I had image of a woman...I never liked the way you lived, but your this care free attitide, living life as you wanted, attracted me to you...You were what I could never be...I was always tied with my family traditions...my values..."

"I always had pride in my strong principles, values...but then didn't knew the meaning of it...If I had those values in true sense then I would not have formed opinion about you without knowing you...If they were strong enough, then I would not have been focussed on me only...If they were strong enough, then I would have trusted you when you said you feel for me..."

"Maan..."

"Geet, please mujhain maaf kar do...I know so many times you have done, but please once more..."

"Maan..." she nodded, she had tears in her eyes...

"Geet, I am no more scared of my traditions...my royal reputation...I want to be part of your life, I want to marry you..."

"Marry...?"

"Yes...?"

"Maan, Are you serious...?"

"Geet, please..."

She thought for a while, looked at him deeply...

"I can marry you but I have a shart ..."

"Shart...?"

"Yes, I need your family blessings..."

"Geet, you know they will never agree...You have seen them...I am ready to leave everything for you and Yash...but making them agree for marriage is impossible..."

"Maan...then I cannot marry you..."

He looked at her deeply...his eyes wanting to know very badly...

"At least, say once...you love me..."

She kept staring him, her eyes fluttered...her pink lips smiled... "Yes...You were so different them all whom I met, always restrained but yet so adamant to know me and I couldn't stop myself falling for you. I have decided to trust you..."

"Oh Geet..." he hugged her tightly..."I wanted to hear this so badly but please say you love me..."

"Yes, I love you..."

"Geet, now I can face anything..."

She smiled...her eyes twinkled, she embraced him tightly and this time he didn't hesitate to kiss her, taking them softly...

After few days

"Dadima...I am bringing Geet and Yash to Patiala for few days...I want your blessings for our marriage..."

"Maan, Are you out of mind...? You are bringing her here...and then marriage...?"

"Dadima...I am marrying her. I know we cannot discuss everything on phone...that's why I am coming there..."

He kept the phone and looked at her, she was little concerned...

"Geet...Please smile...everything will be fine..."

"Yes, I know..." she smiled back at him, inside she was still worried...

Chapter 26 - I want to marry her...

@Patiala

They reached early morning by his private jet, both Dadima and Maa were waiting for them at gate only...both looking anxious...

She hesitantly touched their feet...and waited for Maan, he gave a ishara to his maa to take her inside...and she took her to the guest room...

Once inside, she hugged her tightly...

"Geet, I knew he is in love with you when he had brought you. I don't know what happened between both of you in middle but now I am very happy. "

Geet looked at her surprised...

"Geet, I just want to let you know..I don't have any problems with you being mother...I trust Maan and if he has made a decision then I am with him...I only want happiness for both of you..."

Geet felt overwhelmed...

"And don't worry...Dadima will also agree soon, He will make her agree..."

Geet..nodded...

"You freshn up...I will take Yash out..."

Geet sighed...as she went out with Yash...

"Yes"...it will be difficult for Maan but she cannot be selfish in marrying him when she knows that he is very attached to his family...he will never be happy with her if he has to leave it.

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

"Maan...yeh aap kya karne jaa rahain hain...Do you know the consequences...? Our whole reputation will be ruined..whatever your forefathers had built, preserved... everything will be eroded...you cannot do this...you are answerable to them..."

"Dadima...I am not doing anything wrong. I love her and I want to marry her. "

"Maan...have you thought..? First, she is not from royal background...if that I choose to ignore...then she is not at all traditional...even that also i can ignore...but then I cannot ignore the fact that she is mother of a child..."

"Dadima, mujhain farak nahin padta..."

"Maan, Farak padta hain...let me tell you if you don't know it. She was never married...I found some details about her..."

He was stunned for the moment, but he had always suspected it..."Dadima, mujhain farak nahin padta..."

"Maan...aapka dimaag bilkul kaharb ho gaya hain, you have gone mad over her beauty..."

"Dadima...you will never understand me..." he looked at her angrily and came out, he saw his maa standing...



"Maa, aap yahan...?"

"Maan, you cannot win the battles by losing your nerves..."

"Maa..." he was stunned...

"Give her some time to adjust...let her know Geet...she will also fall in love with her, wait for some time..."

"Maa, I hope your wishes comes true...I just hope but I know her...she will never agree and this Geet, she doesn't want to marry me without her blessings..."

"Maan, Geet is right...She understands that you will never be happy without your family..."

"Haan Maa, she understands me well..." He smiled and hugged her...

"She is in guest room, I am taking Yash with me in my room..."

He smiled at her and headed towards her room...

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

As he entered, he saw she was in deep sleep...in peace...Last few days had been so hectic for both of them...everything happened so sudden, all together...he can't still believe it. Few days back, he was so restless...not able to decide...not sure of what she feels, it was like a dream...his restless has gone now...he is also at so much peace now...and she is with him...

He mesmerized...stunned looked at her, as she was sleeping , couldn't stop himself, his fingers moved on her face...he removed her hair and touched her face...his hands traced her neck...she woke up...

"Maan..."

"Geet...you were looking so beautiful with your hair spead, I couldn't stop myself..."

She got up..."so what Dadima is saying...?"

"Not agreeing...you know its not going to happen so soon..."

She nodded...

"Geet, I want to give you something." and he opened his hands...she saw it was the pendant, the heirloom which his mother had given her once...he then tied it around her neck...

"Maan...I am with you...and don't worry I am not weak..."

"Yes...I know..."

He didn't knew what else he should talk to her...suddenly the relation between them is changed...he felt little awkward...

"Geet, you take rest now, evening we will go to Gurudwara..."

He then looked at her hesitant...he didn't wanted to go out, he got up...then turned and looked at her again...her eyes were smiling...

"Maan..." she called him...and came towards him, encircled her arms around his neck...

"Maan...you forgot something..."

Her eyes were dazzling, darkening...and he felt at ease, losing his inhibitions...and he kissed her lightly first, soon they were lost in each other...


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

Evening, all of them went to Gurudwara together, Maan made Dadima also come with them...

As they went inside to offer the prayers, Geet hesitantly looked at him...he grabbed her hand and brought her inside...they sat and prayed together...
She opened her eyes and saw him deep in praying...

"Maan..." she called him...

He opened his eyes, his eyes were mist..."Geet, you don't know what I felt when I closed my eyes thanking Babaji...I felt so much peace, I felt so much happiness inside..."

She smiled..."Last time when I had come, I had asked for peace and today I felt it..."

their eyes locked...admiring each other...

Suddenly..."Maan..." Yash called him...breaking their spell...

"This Yash...he still calls me by name..." and he rushed out, showing his anger...

'Yash...come back' and soon he caught him...both started laughing...Yash was giggling...

Dadima..., Maa, and Geet came out...saw them in this moment of theirs.

her statement -the pain she went through last nite...he will never understand

the pain that she was with Raj when she is affected by Maan, she chose to be with Raj...and the pain that she could not be with Maan...juss cus he affects her...

the pain that his love is shallow and he cannot accept her for who she is...

the pain that he claims that he loves her but at the same time is judgmental towards her in every single way...

the pain that his words and his actions cause her...they remind her of her very past...and torture her inner soul

the pain that she cannot feel again...once again...for someone even though she wants to...

the pain that her heart has started to fall for him...when she does not want it to...

the pain that she thought Maan was different than the others, yet he proves her wrong over n over again...


Maan says he is not layak for her love...he does not deserve her or her love...

Such an easy way out...to run away from love, responsibilities, feelings...

so much easier to put the blame whether u put on ur self, the world or others...

he is going through self-piteous behaviour which in a way is his defense mechanism which stops him from feeling the pain, guilt, shame etc to the extreme and at the same time he get to feel sorry for himself...

pathetic...

well r we not all like this...running away from life when we need to make a stand...
