'Destined To Be' ~MG FF~ NOTE ON PAGE 150 - Page 63

"Geet, beta Maan kahan hai?" Madhu asked out of blue interrupting Geet's nd Arnav's talk [Geet, beta where is Maan?]

Geet turned to look at her sumwhere knowing very well that this question must be coming. But the thing for which she was not sure was that what will be Her Badi Maa's reaction wen she'll say that Maan has just dropped her over here nd has gone to office though only she had insisted for it. She needs to explain it to dem by using right sets of words or else they'll get worried for no reason. Thinking dis she looked at Madhu who was waiting for her answer

"Badi Maa wo mere saath nahi aaye hai" [Badi Maa he haven't came wid me] Geet said nd as expected panic appeared on Madhu's face as she registered Geet's word. So does that mean that her fear as right. Her Loving daughter is not happy in dis relationship. She thought nd den again looked at Geet who was standing dere worried looking at her Badi Maa's reaction

**************************************************************

Geet instantly understands wats going in the mind of her Badi Maa. She was never in favour of this alliance no matter it was Sameera's wish yet she cant ruin the happiness of her one daughter to fulfill the wish of her another daughter nd today wen she told her that Maan has not come wid her den the reaction of her Badi Maa was obvious but she need to make her understand that wat she's thinking is wrong before she make an assumption of her own.

"Badi Maa meri puri baat to Suniye. Wo mere saath yaha ghar nahi aaye kyunki unke office me ek important meeting thi. He had came here wid me nd we are about to enter wen Adi called him regarding the meeting. He was not at all ready to go but I only insisted him to go as it was important." Geet said quickly before Madhu can think of anything else. [Badi Maa, first let me complete. He haven't came wid me to home because he had an important meeting in the office. He had came here wid me nd we are about to enter wen Adi called him regarding the meeting. He was not at all ready to go but I only insisted him to go as it was important.]

"Tu sach bol rahi hai Na Geet." Madhu asked still suspicious of what Geet had just said [You are saying the truth na Geet?]

"Ya Badi Maa sachi. Aap Na bekaar me hi tension le rahe ho. Unhone kaha hai ki jaise hi unka kaam khatam ho jayega wo aa jayenge." Geet said while trying her best to convince her Badi Maa. [Ya Badi Maa honestly. U are getting worried for no reason. He said that as soon as his work will be finished he'll cum over here]

"Arey Madhu ab agar tumhara interrogation khatam ho gaya ho to Geet ko aaram se baithne to do. Bechari kabse khadi hui hai" Arnav said before Madhu can ask any other question. [Arey Madhu! If Ur interrogations are over now den Let Geet relax now. Poor girl standing from so long]

"haan to maine kab mana kiya hai. Aap hi kabse bolte ja rahe hain. Geet come beta sit over here. I'll just bring a juice for you." Madhu said while taking Geet towards the couch while Arnav just shakes his head seeing his wife's antics nd goes towards the couch near Geet. [Ya so wen did I refused. U urself are talking from so long. Geet come beta sit over here. I'll just bring a juice for you]

************************************************************

Here in the office though Maan was in the meeting with the client but his Mind was just thinking about Geet. He still don't understand y had he started feeling so different for Geet that her nearness, her antics had started effecting him nw. was it because of the relationship they are sharing now? No, this can't be the reason; it's just been a day since dey get married so how can she affect him dis much. But if dis was not the reason den wat reason he would give himself to justify about wat he did in the morning or wat he did in the car.

Ok he was just fixing her Bindi but Boy! Was he fooling himself? Fixing her Bindi was the last thing in his mind wen he touched her soft skin. The moment his fingers came in contact with the soft nd smooth skin of her face he forgets everything nd just wanted to caress that silky skin again nd again. Nd he would caress it for some more tym too if his gaze didn't fall on her closed eyes nd flushed face.

Wat has gotten onto him? Ok it's true that they are husband nd wife now but doesn't he know that this relationship is just for name sake. No he needs to keep a check on his emotions. He can't ruin everything by getting flowed wid dese emotions. She's trying her best to cope up wid dis sudden change of relations so he'll also make sure that he won't make anything complicated between dem.

"Mr. Khurana. Mr. Khurana are you listening." His client called him again nd again bringing Maan back from his reverie.

Huh... ya Mr. Bajaj sorry can we discuss this again." Maan said after cuming back to reality nd gets himself engrossed in the meeting to get rid from his weird thoughts.

*************************************************************

It's been 3 hours since Geet was in her home. It's been just a day since Geet had left this house yet for Madhu nd Arnav it was an eternity so there are not leaving any chance to pamper her. After having Lunch Geet quietly stepped inside Sameera's room nd as she stepped inside a rush of emotions had crept in her heart. Dis was the same room where she had spent so much tym wid her sister. Everything was so right nd perfect nd now everything just went upside down. It all just seems to be a dream now as she thinks of the previous days. She goes near Sameera's table, picked up her photograph nd hold it close near her heart. She closed her eyes nd didn't realize wen tears had started falling from her eyes until she felt a hand wiping those tears from her face. She opened her eyes only to find Madhu standing in front of her wiping away her tears. Geet just hugged her tight nd cried while Madhu just keep on patting her back to calm her down. After sometym wen she pulled back from the hug Madhu again wiped away her tears gesturing her to not to cry.

"Bas Geet now u'll not cry. I can't see u in tears beta." Madhu said while wiping away her tears

"Unhone bhi yahi kaha tha" Geet said wid a smile remembering wat Maan has said to her in the morning wen she was sewing the button of his shirt [he too said the same thing]

"Unhone? Kisne Geet" [he? Who Geet?] Madhu asked not understanding to whom is she addressing but den suddenly realizes about whom is she talking "Maan ne" nd Geet just nodded her head in yes

"Geet you are happy Na beta?" Madhu asked out of blue nd Geet knew that she was expecting an honest answer

"Yes Badi Maa. I m really happy. U knw everyone at KM right? Dey pamper me just like you nd Bade Papa. Nd he also make sure that I won't compromise for anything. U knw he had missed his office today just to take me here for Pagphere. Wo to he got a call from office so he had to go or else he would also be here wid me." Geet replied to all of her Badi Maa's doubt nd she knows that she haven't said anything wrong.

"Nd wat about Love? Do u think that u'll be able to spend ur whole life wid dis Loveless Marriage just in the hope that may be one day he'll also Love you. He'll give you the actual place of urs?"

"I don't know Badi Maa but I knw that I m happy. I know he don't Love me, I know he can't give me that place that I deserve but I don't want to force anything on him. nd trust me Badi Maa he is also trying his best to keep dis relationship working but how can I claim that thing which is not mine."

"But Geet..." Madhu tried to protest only to be interrupted by Geet again.

"Badi Maa I m fine trust me. I had full faith on Babaji Badi Maa. May be as the tym passes he'll fall in Love wid me or will give me that place which I actually deserve. U please don't worry for anything. Just leave everything on tym" Geet replied interrupting Madhu before she gets more worried.

"U really had grown-up Geet. I m so proud of you" Madhu said nd kissed her forehead.

"Acha now call Maan. See if he gets free from his meeting or not." Madhu said in order to change the topic while Geet just nodded her head nd dials Maan's number.

The phone kept on ringing but as Maan was discussing some designs wid his team he kept it on silent mode therefore he didn't saw Geet calling. Get understands that he must be busy datsy not taking her call but wat should she say to Badi Maa. She looked over her shoulders nd saw her standing behind her waiting for her to speak to Maan. Geet knows that if Maan didn't take the call then Madhu will get worried for their relation yet again. Therefore she sighed nd took a deep breath before doing wat is she going to do.

"Hello!... hw was ur meeting?... Badi Maa is asking wen will you come?... no no u don't leave ur work in mid... I said Na its ok... U complete Ur work... Ya its completely fine... No Badi Maa won't mind... u complete ur work ok... Bye see u in the evening" Geet said while pretending to talk to Maan on call so that Madhu wont get suspicious but least she knows that Madhu knows that she's pretending. She's a mother Afterall hw can she not catch her daughter's lie but she don't want her daughter attempt to go futile so she pretended that she didn't know anything

"wo Badi Maa he still had some important work in the office derefore he's not able to get free soon. But he said that he'll definitely be here in the evening" Geet said while trying her best to convince Madhu

"Oh it's ok no problem. Work is also important. Come let's go to Ur Bade Papa or else he'll complaint that he didn't got chance to spend tym wid his daughter" Madhu said nd both Madhu nd Geet went out of Sameera's room not before Geet giving last glance to her room

************************************************************

Here in the office Maan gets so much engrossed in his work in order to get rid from thinking about Geet that he completely lost the track of tym. He had came office just to attend one meeting but one after another lots of work come up nd he just gets engrossed in it. He didn't realize that its past 7 of the evening until his secretary told him that he got a call from his home. It was den he looked at watch nd realize that it was about to hit 8. He immediately asked her to transfer the call only to find Savitri Devi on the other side.

"Maan wat are you still doing in the office. Had u forget that u have to go to pick Geet" Savitri Devi chided her workaholic grandson. Since the tym Dev informed her about Maan's arrival at office to attend a meeting she feared for dis only that once he'll get engrossed ion work den he'll forget all his surroundings nd the same thing happened.

"No Dadimaa wo actually the work was important so I just lost the track of tym" Maan tried to defend himself but all went in vain

"I don't want to listen anything Maan just wind up all Ur work now nd go to Geet's home. She must be waiting for you" Dadimaa said nd cuts the call.

Maan immediately looked at his cell only to find numerous miss calls from Geet nd Dadimaa's no. he immediately dials Geet's no. but it was coming switched off. He den dialed the landline no. of Handa's nd Madhu picked up the phone

Maan: Hello Maa! It's me Maan

Madhu: Arey Maan. How are you beta?

Maan: I am fine Maa. How are you nd Papa?

Madhu: we both are fine beta. Did Geet reached home safely?

Madhu's questions just confuse Maan. y is she asking him that whether Geet had reached home safely or not. Does that mean that Geet was not there?

"Maan, Maan beta are u listening?" Madhu's voice bring him back from his reverie nd he realizes that he cant just blurt it out that Geet haven't reached home yet.

Maan: ya Maa I m listening. BTW Maa how much tym before did Geet left. I mean it really took her long to come to KM

Madhu: beta she left 3 hrs before only. May be got stuck up in traffic. She called you many tymes but I guess u were in meeting so she told me that she had informed you nd you are reluctant before nd den was okay wid it.

As Madhu's word Registered in Maan's mind he realizes that Geet had lied in her home about talking to him wen he didn't picked up his cell. He just said a quick bye to Madhu nd cuts the call.

"Wat should I do wid dis Girl? Y she always needs to think about everyone so much that she lands up doing such things. Maa had said that she left 3 hours before den y didn't she reached home yet? Is she ok? O God! I really need to find her fast." He thought nd without wasting a minute he rushes out from his office takes his car nd started looking for Geet at every possible places here she can go but she was nowhere

He once again called at KM hoping that she must have reached by now but she hadn't reached dere yet so he just cover it up by saying that he had called to inform that he nd Geet will be late.

"Where are you Geet? Pls just be safe wherever you are." he said to himself nd once again started searching her but failed.

After 1 nd a half hour of futile attempt of searching her he decided to go back to KM nd tell everyone about her being missing so that they can do something regarding dis. his mind was continuously thinking about Geet. Wat answer will he give to everyone wen they'll find that Geet is missing. He had promised that he'll take care of Geet nd here Geet is missing just because of him. Had he not get so much engrossed in work den he would remember that he had to go to Geet's home to pick her up. Wat if she's in any kind of trouble? The thought itself was enough to make him shiver. No he won't let anything happen to her. He'll try every possible way but he'll find her out.

He was lost in these thoughts wen he reached near the vicinity of the KM wen he saw a petite figure sitting on the bench near his mansion. He knotted his brows nd as he neared his car a relief washed over his face as he saw Geet sitting over dere at the bench. For the first few mins He couldn't fathom that whether he was dreaming or Geet was really dere but soon he realizes that Geet was actually dere. He instantly stopped his car nd quickly comes out from the car nd goes near her.

"Geet" he called out her name as a mere whisper feeling relieved that she's all safe nd sound.

Geet was sitting at the bench lost in her thoughts wen Maan came near her. She didn't realize his presence until he called out her name. She instantly turned her head only to find him standing near her wid concern nd worries written over at his face. A smile crept up on her face seeing him. She instantly gets up from the bench nd was about to say something wen his next set of words interrupted her.

"What the hell are you doing over here Geet? U left Ur home 4 nd a half hour ago nd still haven't reached to KM? I was searching u madly everywhere but there was no sign of you. Do you know how much worried I was? I thought that you are in some kind of danger nd here you are doing nothing but just sitting on the bench." He said angrily but more den anger it was panic nd restlessness that he had gone through in this 1 nd a half hour.

"Wo I..." she tried to say something only to be interrupted by Maan

"Not a word Geet. Haven't u thought about me once. Haven't u thought about it once that wat answer I'll give to everyone wen they'll not see me wid u once? Haven't u thought about it once that what would have do if you were stuck up in some sort of danger? Ur cell phone was also coming switched off."

"My cell phone battery was dead datsy it was coming switched off" Geet managed to say this somehow but seeing Maan's anger she don't have courage to say anything further.

Maan looked other side in irritation don't know on whom he's irritated; on Geet for not letting him know before leaving her home nd rather den going back to KM she was sitting over here on the bench or at himself for not paying any heed to her calls wen she was continuously calling him. He turned to look at Geet only to find her looking down at the road while continuously rubbing her upper arms wid her palms. Maan realizes that she was feeling cold as the weather was quiet chilly.

"Geet c'mon lets go inside or else u'll catch cold" he said rather sternly but Geet didn't missed the concern in his voice. She nodded slowly nd followed him to his car. Once dey get seated in the car Maan drove back to the KM.

*****************************************************

After 15 mins. Of ride dey both reached to KM. Geet tried to talk to him, to tell him wat she was doing over dere at bench but seeing him concentrating on driving so much she couldn't muster courage to say anything to him so she just kept quiet. After parking the car inside the garage both headed inside only to find Dadimaa waiting eagerly for both of dem.

"Hhmmm so finally you both are here." she said as soon as she saw both of dem

"Sorry Dadimaa wo we got little late" Maan said hiding what actually happened.

"Arey Maan beta its ok infact I m happy that atleast u both spend sometym together. U know I was very much worried wen I called you at that tym in office nd found u still working there. I had specially mentioned it to Geet that I want both of you to come home together wen she called me 4 hours back to inform that u are stuck up in some kind of meeting but now I m happy that u both had taken some tym for just both of you. Maan if any of you would have come alone today na den I would definitely not leave you." Dadimaa said nd Maan instantly looked at Geet who was standing dere wid a faint smile.

"O God! She hasn't got back to KM till now just because of me. Just because Dadimaa wants to both of us to come together nd she don't want me to face her wrath. Datsy she was waiting for me over dere at bench nd I said so much to her without giving any chance for her to speak. Damn it! How can u be so impulsive Maan" he thought as the realization dawn upon him which only made him feel guilty.

"u both must be tired. Go nd freshen up I'll ask Nakul to warm up the food." Dadimaa said bringing both of them out from dere thoughts.

"Dadimaa I don't feel like having anything. Had a late Lunch at Badi Maa's place so I'll not eat anything." Geet said while avoiding any eye contact wid Maan.

"Even I don't feel like having anything so dnt bother Nakul for it." Maan said not wanting to have Dinner without Geet.

"Hhmmm y both of you don't admit that u both had already had Ur dinner outside" Annie said while joining all 3 of dem in their conversation.

"No Annie it's not like that" Geet tried to defend but Annie was nowhere to listen

"C'mon Geet nw don't be shy. Acha leave all dis come wid me I need to talk to you something. Maan Bhai I hope you won't mind if I steal your wife for few mins." Annie said mischievously while looking at Maan.

"Ya ofcourse but dnt make her stuck up in your talks for long. She's must be tired nd she needs rest" Maan said half-heartedly not wanting Annie to take Geet away as he badly wanted to apologize to her.

"OMG! So much concern. Don't worry Maan Bhai I'll not take Geet's much tym now if u permit den can I take her to my room"

"Ya sure. Dadimaa I m also going to my room to take rest. Good night" Maan said nd headed towards his room giving a last look to Geet who had already turned to go Annie's room.

********************************************************

Half an hour has been passed nd Geet still haven't returned to room. Maan was pacing restlessly in room waiting for her. He badly wanted to apologize to Geet for yelling at her. She had done all this just for him nd he didn't listen to her once.

He still didn't understand y she always keeps everyone's happiness ahead in front of hers. She agreed to this marriage for Sameera's happiness, she didn't claim any of her rights for his happiness, she let him go to office for clients' happiness, she managed to portray both of dem as a happy couple for his family's happiness nd today she quietly listened to all his yelling because of Dadimaa's happiness. Y she never thinks of herself for just once? He was lost in dese thoughts wen he heard the faint sound of anklets indicating that she's here.

He immediately takes a file from side table nd pretended for studying it wen Geet enters in their room. He tilted his head a bit to look at her nd she gave a faint smile in return nd goes near the cupboard to take her night dress nd before Maan could say anything to her she headed inside the washroom to change. As soon as she stepped inside the washroom Maan throws away the file in frustration for not able to apologize to her.

"Damn It Maan! Y it's so much difficult for you. U just had to say sorry to her nd that too for your own mistake. Don't worry you had one more chance. Say sorry to her as soon as she stepped out from washroom" he thought mentally whacking himself for his stupidity nd waited for her to come out from washroom.

After whole 25 mins. Which seems like an eternity to Maan Geet came out from washroom. Maan was contemplating only how should he say sorry to her wen he saw her going towards the bed nd setting the bed. He took a deep breath nd goes near. Before he could say anything Geet turned nd lost her balance seeing him so close to her all of a sudden.

She was about to fall back on bed wen Maan held her by her waist nd pulled her towards himself preventing her from falling. For a moment Maan forgot to breathe having her so close to him. He cant remove his gaze from her beautiful face no matter hw much he wanted to. Some wet strands were sticking to her forehead indicating she just had a shower. Unknowingly he tightened his grip around her waist nd pulled her more close so that his breath was fanning her lips. He slowly raises his hand nd removes that strands from her forehead lingering her fingers at her skin for sometym.

Geet was totally lost in him wen he pulled her closer to himself. Though he saved her from falling but wen she felt him so close to her she forget every other thing around her. It seems there's no one present in world except the two of them. Unwillingly she rest her hand on his shoulder holding him tight. Nd wen he tightened his grip around her she just wanted to melt in those arms as if she belonged dere only. She closed her eyes feeling the warmth of her fingers wen he was caressing her skin. It was an unknown sensation for her. Something that she had never experienced before but it felt good, it felt right.

Maan looked at her closed eyes as he grazes his finger along her cheeks. Unknown to himself he was getting pulled towards her like a moth towards flame. Somewhere at the back of his mind he knew that it was not right but this moment seems so perfect to him. He was lost in her angelic face wen realization hits him nd he realizes wat he was doing. He instantly loosens his grip around her waist bringing Geet out from his spell.

She opens her eyes only to find him looking other side feeling embarrassed from the situation. She too was flushed with the sudden turn of events nd don't know how to break dis awkward silence between dem. finally she musters u some courage nd decides to break dis awkward silence between dem.

"Thank you" she whispered softly nd Maan turned to look at her.

"Thank you for saving me" she said t again nd Maan just couldn't find words to reply her.

"U must be tired. U should go and sleep now." she said nd turned towards bed wen Maan stopped her.

"Geet Ek min." he said nd Geet turned to look at him.

"wo I just need to say Sorry to you for yelling at you outside. Actually wen Maan told me that u had left 3 hours back but still haven't reached to KM den I just got worried. I thought that u are in some sort of danger nd wen I saw you sitting at bench all safe nd sound then I couldn't tell you that how much relieved I was. Nd to unable to express my worry nd relief I just yelled at you. I m sorry Geet, I know I had hurted you but it was all intentionally. Pls forgive me." he said it all in one breathe because he knows that if once he'll pause den she'll never let him complete wat he wanted to say as she'll never let him feel guilty.

"It's ok. You don't have to say Sorry to me. I knw u were worried datsy u yelled at me. It was my mistake too. I should have informed you about it. I don't know why it didn't stuck in my mind that I could have also send msg to you nd wen I realize it my cell phone battery was dead. Datsy I sat at the bench near KM so that wen u come to KM then u can spot me easily nd we can go home together as per Dadimaa's wish. It was me who should be sorry for making you worried for me not you." She said nd Maan just looked at her dumbfounded. He didn't know from which material she's made from that she never found any fault in others. It was completely his mistake today. First getting so much engrossed in his work that he didn't paid any heed to her calls nd den yelling at her still she found him nowhere at fault. He was about to say something wen her sneeze caught his attention.

"Aanchi" she sneezed out loud nd Maan instantly got worried.

"Geet, Geet are you fine." He asked as he saw her continuously sneezing

"Yes I... aanchi...I am... aanchi... fine... Aanchi" she somehow managed to complete her sentence while continuously sneezing. Maan recalled the image of her rubbing her upper arms wid her arms nd realizes that she must have caught cold.

"Geet, I think u had caught cold. Come wid me" he said as he takes her towards the bed nd make her lay down.

"Suniye... aanchi... I m perfectly... Aanchi... fine." She tried to protest but he was nowhere to listen.

"Chup Bilkul Chup! I m seeing how much you are fine. Now just keep quiet, I'll be right back." he said nd fished something from the drawer. After few mins Geet saw him coming wid Balm.

"I know u are allergic from allopathic medicines so I brought balm. U'll feel better after applying It." he said nd started applying balm on her forehead nd nose

Geet just looked at him in awe as he keeps on massaging her forehead nd nose wid balm. He cares for her, no matter hw much their relationship had changed but she knows that he'll never stop caring for her. She may be not lucky enough to get his Love but she's lucky enough to get his care atleast nd dis was enough for her for dis lyftym. Her trance of thoughts gets broken wen she felt his hand going downwards towards her throat nd chest. She realizes the gravity of situation nd holds his hand before it touches her throat.

"I'll apply it over dere" she said while holding his hand nd Maan didn't ignored that slight blush on her cheek nd dis is wen he realizes what he was doing. He was so busy in massaging her soft skin dat he forgets where his hands were heading to.

"Ummm... ok but do apply it hhmmm" he said while looking other side nd handling the balm to her while she just nodded.

"It's really late Geet. U should sleep now" he said nd tucked the blanket till her neck nd turned to leave wen her voice stopped him

"Thanx" she said softly nd Maan just turned half way nd smiled while looking at her.

"Good night Geet. Sleep well." He said nd headed towards couch nd sets his bed over dere.

Geet watched him till he switched off the side lamp nd drifted off to sleep. She smiled as she touched her forehead nd remember his care towards her. She once again looked at him nd den switched off the lamp of her side nd drifted off to sleep too.

**************************************************************

On the other hand at some another corner of the world a man in his late twenties was sitting while leaning back his head on the chair wid a photo in his hand. He ran his fingers on the pic nd a sweet smile crept up his face as he felt caressing her soft skin wid his fingers.

"Geet, I m missing you so much. It's been almost 2 months since I m away from you. I know you must be missing me too. But don't worry Geet I'll be there wid you soon. Just few more days nd den I'll be there wid you. I know till now u had got the answer of the question that I asked you before leaving nd u must be waiting eagerly for me to tell that answer. Just few more days Geet den I'll be there to get that answer. The answer that I m dyeing to hear from you. Just few more days. I Love you Geet, I Love you so much." he said nd kissed her picture ever so softly nd held it close to his heart before leaving from dere.
