He stopped short before approaching the dining table when he saw Dev sitting at the head of the table, which seat belonged to him. Pammi sat next to him while Geet served. He didn't like she was standing so close to him while serving...jealousy and insecurities took over. He didn't like the way Dev was looking at Geet...no one had that right. He marched over to the table and stood behind Geet. No one looked at him.
Maan: What are you doing there. (Geet moved back a little almost bumping into Maan but he held her by the waist. He looked at Dev with anger. Dev looked at Pammi for help. She nodded and looked at Maan with a smile)
Pammi: Maan beta what happened?
Maan: I am talking to Dev Pammi massi...(Pammi looks at him shocked with the tone he used. Dev looked at him scared...) let me get one thing straight over here...I DON'T like change...there are certain things that are OFF LIMIT here...(he said by looking at Geet...) I don't like my things being touched without my permission.
Pammi: What happened?
Maan: He is sitting in my chair.
Pammi (smiles) That is it. You can sit on another chair. You are still stubborn little kid.
Maan: Maybe one thing you are forgotten here this is still MY house. (She looks at him with anger) Therefore, my rules. (he looks at Dev) Get OFF MY CHAIR NOW! (Dev quickly gets off fearing his anger...Maan smirks)
Pammi (looks at Dev with anger) I told you not to sit there. How many times do I have to teach you manners. Say sorry to Maan right now.
Dev (looks at Maan with a sad face) am sorry (Maan looks at him with anger)
Pammi (looks at Maan with a smile) There Maan beta just forgive him. He won't do it again. (Geet serves everyone...Maan ignores them while eating...at the end he gets up to go to office...) Maan beta one minute
Maan:hmmm
Pammi: you have already done so much for us..could you do one more favor...could you get a job at your company for Dev.
Maan (smirks) He already has a job...as a peon am I right? (Dev looks down embarrassed...Pammi almost bends the spoon with anger...listening to Maan...she looks at him with a fake smile...)
Pammi: NO beta..I mean a higher post...he has a degree and everything...please
Maan: Hmmm I will see what I can do...(he gets up to go...looking back at Geet once before leaving...Pammi gets up to go but stops before Geet...both smile at her before going up the stairs...)

As Maan was leaving the mansion someone stopped the car outside of the gate. He looked ahead and smirked. The person came to the side door...the driver pulled down the window...
Driver: what do you need...get out of the way (The person looked inside the car and saw Maan..he goes to his side of the car...)
"Beta...Maan..." Maan ignores him and looks at the driver with anger...
"What is taking you so long to go? You are fired..drop me off at the office and you may leave..." (the driver looks at him shocked...)
Driver: Please sir it won't happen again...
Maan: I don't give second chances to ANYONE (he says looking at the person standing next to his car with anger...the driver quickly drives off leaving the person standing there shocked...Maan makes a call...) Don't let that person inside the house and make sure he is no where near the house again. (he hangs up the phone taking out his laptop to work...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Years have passed but the situations in my marriage still remains the same. Nothing have changed. His anger toward me is still the same. No matter what I do or say it is never good enough. Even if I wanted to I cannot leave this house. My life is here. My Maan is here and now I have new life growing inside me. I am three months pregnant.
I thought the news of having another baby would change his behavior or decrese his anger but it got worse. Does not want this baby? I am so glad that Pammi has been by myself...she is my only confidant now. I don't treat her as an outsider..she is like my younger sister now...she takes care of Maan, makes sure he gets what he wants..I couldn't be happier...
Geet closes the diary...wanting to read more but at the same time not getting enough courrage to read what was written ahead. Could this really happen in the real world? The pain and torture really exist? She was always brought up in a very friendly and loving environment. Her parents would realy fight only when they are fighting over food, which was quiet hilarious to see her dad trying to sneak off desert without mom looking. He would always get caught.
The doctor had strictly told him that he cannot have anything with sugar but he wouldn't listen. He liked it when mom would yell at him because it should her care and concern for him. She could watch her parents all day making jokes, laughing and seeing the love they have for one another. She never thought that there could be another side to relationships. Did his mother really go through all these tortures? How could his father do this to her while she was pregnant. She thought about Maan...how different is he from his father?
Although, now she knew that Maan would never hurt her now but before he did. He married her without her acknowledge, kidnapped her and trapped her in this house. He truly is a Shetan in his own way but will he do the same things later on like his father did? She knew the answer to her question, she knew he would never but...she left her thoughts unfinished..she didn't want to think that way...no way will Maan be like that...
