PART 20
They both parted their lips when they felt breathless. She was still in his embrace and wanted to stay like that forever. Maan looked at her serene face. The serenity which had now replaced the strain on her face was the evidence that she too wanted to be with him and longed for him as much as he did. He kept on gawking at her as his fingers caressed her cheek.
"Geet I don't know the reason why you lied to me that day; but whatever the reason was, I won't let you do it again!"
he pleaded looking into her eyes. She simply placed her head on his chest, not wanting to think of those memories again, and he instinctively tightened the grip of his arms around her. It was the most blissful moment of his life.
They stayed there in the same position for quite a long time, listening to each other's heart beat and it seemed like the most melodious music that ever existed in this world. After that long while, they parted and she could see passion in his eyes. He couldn't have enough of her. As he looked at her face, he slowly bent his head down eyeing her lips. Her face once again turned into a light shade of red.
Before he could claim her lips, something clicked in her mind and she pushed him away a little.
"Maan, it has got too late. We should leave now otherwise I won't be able to get into hostel." She said worried to realize how much time had passed.
He was still in the spell of her dazzling beauty, "You don't have to worry love! You are always welcome to stay at my room if not at hostel." His naughty smile and glint of mischief in his eyes were accompanied by his words.
She cast an angry glare on him as she tried to scold him, "Maan!!!"
"Eh'. I mean you can always stay at my home." he corrected in an attempt to escape from her anger.
"And by the way Geet, you don't have to live at hostel anymore now. You are coming with me!" finally he said in a serious tone.
"No Maan, please not now, I'll live at hostel ''.. please understand!" she said with her eyes pleading for him to understand her stance.
He thought for a moment and then nodded to her in positive. He was proud of her, his love. He knew how she was' she would never take anyone's help and struggle at her own for herself. He placed a kiss on her forehead, "Let's go!" he said with a smile assuring her that he did understand her.
--------------------------------------------
He reached back home satisfied. Finally the strife between them had been removed. Now there won't be any misunderstanding between them. And she loved him; the mere thought was enough to bring him back to life.
As he entered the hall he saw Dadima and Annie sitting there. Perhaps they were waiting for him. He smiled at them as he walked towards them.
"Hello Dadima, Hi Annie" he greeted them as if he was meeting them after a long time. But to his surprise, they both didn't really reply back properly. He could sense some tension built in the environment there. He paused for a moment to comprehend as to what was wrong but then failing to get it he spoke up, "What happened Dadima?? Why do you both look so tensed??"
Dadima sighed on his question and finally decided to open up, "Maan, it's too much now. I have already given you a lot of time because I thought that you would become normal with time." She paused for a moment and there her speaking up only added to Maan's confusion. A frown appeared on his face as he could not understand what she was talking about.
"Maan I have decided that it's time that I take control of it. I know you wouldn't care even if I gave you whole life's time therefore now I've to take the decision."
He looked at Annie trying to see what actually the matter was, but couldn't find any clue there as well.
"Maan, I have chosen a girl for you and you are getting married to her, that too this month. Everything has been finalized."
It was like someone had dropped a bomb on his senses.
"But Dadima how can you finalize my wedding without asking me?? Asking alone, you didn't even tell me anything??"
"And which girl are you talking about?? I won't marry any random girl, you know that!!"
He used all his arguments to convince her to cancel the wedding that very moment.
"You won't marry any random girl??" she replicated his sentence lifting up her brows. "Son, I have given you enough time to find a girl of your choice. But why would you?? Aap ko office ke kaam se fursat mile tou na!!"
"And now that I've done the job for you, you're acting all like a thankless person."
"Because there was no need to find a girl." He blurted out in worry. As he realized that he had almost spilt the beans, he decided to tell them about Geet. He had to tell them later anyway, why not now!
"No need to find a girl?? Maan, how can you get married when there's no girl? Or are you going to pick any random girl from your beloved office and marry her??" she didn't seem to stop scolding him.
"Yes!!" he was so lost and perplexed in confusion and worry that he didn't know what he was blurting out.
Dadima raised her brow shocked on his reply. Which he had notice very well "I mean, not any random girl'.but'" he stopped thinking how to tell them that he was talking about his PA. While he was trying to make out a way to tell them about it, dadima slightly smirked and winked turning her face towards Annie and then quickly came back to her previous state.
"Dadima, I like Geet, I love her!" he finally gathered his senses and came out.
Dadima was surprised and then overjoyed to know that. Annie also had the same feelings.
"Finally, you decided to tell us. I wonder how long you would've taken if I didn't do all this drama"
He now realized what was going on there.
Dadima got up, came to him and patted his cheek. "I'm so happy for you beta, you've chosen the right girl for yourself" and this one comment made him forget all his anger on their drama and simply smiled.
------------------------------------------
Geet entered her room. Everything looked different today. The slight smile couldn't just get off her face. She sat on her bed thinking of what had happened today as her fingers absentmindedly caressed the ring on her other hand.
She was oblivious to her surrounded therefore didn't know when Pari silently entered her room and now stood right beside her. She had also noticed the change in Geet's behavior and now was assured that there's something special about it. She ticked her fingers in front of Geet's face which brought her back to reality.
"Hmmm'.. Someone looks really happy today" she asked sitting beside her.
Geet smiled and unintentionally her eyes went towards the ring in her hand. As Pari followed her eyes she shrieked in joy, "Wow'"
"So, this is the reason??" she asked Geet with sheer happiness.
Geet could only smiled shyly. Pari could witness the colors of happiness on her face.
"Congratulations Geet!!!" Pari hugged her instantly, "Who is the lucky guy??"
Geet chuckled at her question and thought that it was time to disclose, "Maan!"
Pari jotted her brows on hearing the name, "Maan??"
"You mean the dashing, hot and arrogant boss of yours??" the shock had now transformed into more happiness.
Gee burst into laughter on her comment and was soon joined by Pari followed by another lovely hug.

Abhishek had still not forgotton what happened that night at the party. He was still fuming in anger as he remembred the incident. He gritted his teeth in rage and smacked his fist on the table.
