Maan caresses Geet's face with his fingers as she sits on his lap..she turns her face away from him..unknowingly giving him an opening to kiss her neck...she couldn't get up since he had his legs wrapped around her legs and his other arm was wrapped around her waist...making her trap like a prey...she didn't talk at all..she just let him do whatever he wanted...
"Look at me..." (She turns her face to look at him..) "why the sad face?" (he caresses her face..she pushes his hand away)
"you took everything away from me..."
Maan: On the contrary, I gave you everything that you couldn't even imagine in your wildest dream...tell me did you ever think that you would be traveling in a lavish private jet? Look at the wealth around you...you have servants bowing down to you and will kiss the very floor that you step on...
Geet: I did not want this..I don't like you
Maan (laughs) What girl wouldn't want this...stop kidding yourself...be happy that you married a king...
Geet: you are not a king...you are a ruthless person who doesn't care about anyone...
Maan (calls someone...the hostess immediately comes...she had her eyes down...) Could you remind my lovely wife who I am...
Hostess: You are the Rajkumar
Maan: hmm you may go...(he looks at Geet..) see I am the king..the ONLY king...(she turns her face away in anger...he grabs her cheeks to make her face him..) I am NOT done talking to you...looks like I need you to teach you some manners...(he sighs) no worries..that will be done when we reach Delhi...
Geet: I don't need to learn any manners..its you..you don't know anything about respect and manners and this wealth is not yours..its your families..you are nothing without it
Maan: ENOUGH! (she flinches in fear...) just because I am not saying anything doesn't mean you can say whatever you want..from now on you are to keep your mouth shut until I say no
Geet: hhmmm I may be an orphan and come from filth but that does not mean that I will do whatever you say...You just need a doll that you can play with until you are satisfied...
Maan: you know hearing you talk like this is making me more turned on...its impressive that someone even have the guts to talk back to me...that is why I have chosen you...from the first time I had laid my eyes on you...from the first time you talked to me..I knew that you had to be special...And i am NEVER wrong...
he smirks and kisses her lips...she didn't respond back...he puts his hand behind her neck forcing her face more closer to him forcing her to respond back to him...he breaks away when he doesn't respond back...she tried to get up feeling disgusted...
The hostess come with the food...they decorate the table properly before leaving them alone...Maan picks Geet up as she tried to struggle out of his grip...he puts her down on the chair before pulling his chair very close to her...he opens up the lid of the food..
Geet makes faces as she sees oriental food in front of her..she never ate this kind of food before in her life...she looks at Maan who was enjoying his pasta...he stops eating and looks at Geet..he motions with his eyes to eat...She looks in front of her and sees three different kind of forks, knives and spoons..she didn't know which one to grab...she hesitantly raises her hands to eat the food...before she could grab the pasta with her hands he holds her hand...she looks at him confused..
Maan: What are you doing?
Geet: ohh umm eating...
Maan: Eat with the fork
Geet: I don't know how...(Maan gets up and goes behind her...Geet stiffened in her seat when she felt him behind her...he holds both of her hands tightly caressing her hand with his fingers...he bends closer and closer toward her until his mouth was close to her ear...)
Maan: First you grab the fork in your right hand..(he makes her hold the fork) then you grab the spoon with your left hand...like this..(he makes her grab the spoon with her other hand...) Then you grab some pasta with your fork..
He kisses her neck...Geet wasn't focusing on anything what Maan was saying...this was the first time she has been this close to any guy...some new feelings were arising inside her...the feelings she knew does not belong to her so called husband..she hated him...in her eyes he was no one..not even a king but a monster-a cold hearted monster...
Maan shakes her out of her thoughts when she didn't respond to anything he was saying...he sits down in anger grabbing her along with him..she was now sitting in the middle of the chair...he locks her down so she doesn't move with his legs again...
DON'T move...(he lets go of her hands...she kept her hands on her lap with the fear of him touching her again...Maan grabs some pasta with his fork and spoon and brings it near her mouth...) EAT...
she slowly opens her mouth as he shoves some pasta in her mouth...Geet puts her hands on top of her mouth trying not to throw up...she hated this new food just like she hated everything around her...she tried to push his legs off to run to the bathroom but he wouldn't budge...
Eat everything...(she shakes her head no...) you have no other choice...(she slowly chews on her food making weird faces as she swallows the food little by little...)
Geet: Am done..I...
Maan: hmmm (he lets go of her..as soon as he does...Geet runs to sit on her seat away from him...Maan smirks looking at her..."TRY to run as many times you want Geet but at the end of the day I will have you with me...no one escapes from me until I say so...")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet looked out the window for the rest of the flight..she was thankful that he was busy the rest of the way on his laptop and didn't make any advance movements toward her...yet. She was worried with each passing moment about her new life..what awaited her in new town, new city and with new people whom she never met before. Never in her life did she ever think about leaving Hoshiyarpur...that was her home, her life, all the people she knew were there..whom did she have in new city? No one.
She was left alone when she was 16, her only best friend, her mom, died of cancer leaving her alone in the world to fend for herself. She don't even remember her dad, she knows he is alive somewhere in Delhi. He had gone to the city to earn some money but never got the chance to come back.
Once in a while, both would receive some money mailed to them with no address. He never wrote what he did for living..he only disclosed the city that he lived in Delhi. Over the years, Geet became less and less interested in her father..she couldn't care less...she tried to come up with different theories as to why he never showed up but only one stands out to her. Maybe he has different family? Maybe he got remarried again that is why he doesn't visit them...maybe..
She always wanted to go to Delhi to find her father, to ask him to see him for herself and his new family, to question him but never got the chance or enough money. All the money went to her mom's treatment including the very little money she used to make teaching dance to students. Now, that she is going to Delhi, she hoped to find her father but how? She is trapped in a jail cell that he likes to call "kingdom".
Maan hangs up the phone and looks at his wife looking at the window lost in her thoughts again. It angered him for not being able to read her thoughts...he liked everything to be in the open and to be included in everything especially when it comes to things that he has. He saw different emotions display on her face..he tried to make some sense out of them but couldn't...he slams the laptop shut making her come out of her thoughts...
"We are going to land soon..." She ignores him and begins looking out the window again...Maan gets up and pulls her up..."Didn't you hear what I said?"
"I did...I am ready..."
"ohh really? According to me..you are not..." (he takes her to the bathroom...she looks at herself with confusion..she was dressed up as a doll..what more did he want from her? She thought to herself...he caresses her face..) "This face is ONLY to be seen by me no one else..." (he takes her duppata and covers her face half way concealing her face...) "there..."
Geet brings up her hands to lift it a bit since she couldn't see where she was going...Maan picks her up and brings her to the seat before the flight could land...
"I will guide you...don't lift the veil..."
She kept the veil on after sensing a threat in his voice...she just sat there like a statue...soon the flight landed...Maan stood her up and led her toward the door...as soon as the door opened Geet heard a lot of people yelling his name, she heard people clicking pictures from all different directions...she held on to his hand tightly feelings scared...Maan held her hand tightly putting an arm around her waste as if shielding her.
She heard some people ask Maan about her to which he remained quiet..he just led her down the stairs of the jet...she was relieved when she felt ground beneath her feet...both kept walking fast until she heard the door slam...she brings up her hands to lift her veil..but quickly puts them down remembering his threatening voice..she looks his way without seeing anything but just following his smell...
"Where are we going?"
"You will soon see..."
