Chapter 5
"I'm so sorry Geet, are you alright?"
He didn't hear a whim from her he immediately pulled her out of his embrace in fear and noticed she had her head bowed and slow tears making its way down.
He panicked, "What's the matter Geet, are you hurt somewhere tell me Geet please say something." He shook her off.
She looked up and shook her head, "I'm fine physically but emotionally I'm not Maan." She completed within her sobs.
His eyes moisten upon hearing her say Maan. He never fathoms how it sounded his name whenever Geet would call him. It buzzes all the strings of his hearts and sits with in the deeps.
"Say it again."
"What?"
What you just said?
"I'm Fine."
"No the last part."
She looked puzzled, Geet tried to think what he asked and read his expression, but she couldn't see past the swirling stars that danced in front of her eyes.
"You're not going to pass out on me, are you, Geet?" Maan's sharp question pulled her from the edge of the precipice.
Geet paled, her lips trembling. "I..i'm fi.." Before she finish she did opposite to what she was about to say. Her head fell right on Maan's shoulder.
"Geeet"...Geet" He called her out. He lifted her and took her inside his cabin and placed her on the sofa.
He went quickly to get some water. He sprinkled some on her face calling her out over and over.
Geet finally stir a bit, she slowly opened her eyes her vision blurry, and Geet touched his cheek, looked into his eyes, saw the fear beneath the fury. She struggled up,
"Don't get up Geet you should rest for a while."
He moved closer as to help her get up. She sat up and dropped her head to her knees, took a couple of deep breaths. No way is she going to pass out again.
"Are you ok?" He crouched beside her and Geet wanted to lean her head on his shoulder, forget all about the stupid fight and let him take care of her.
"I think so."
"I have already called for the doctor." She put a hand on his arm when he started to move away.
"Don't go."
"I wasn't planning to." He stretched his hand on the table to get the glass of water and handed her to drink.
Maan realized how close she was to put herself in danger. He was furious at his decision to send her to work in that muggy room where there was no source of air. If something would have happened to her he would have never forgiven himself.
All the while she was suffering he was resting in his cozy office and that also she has taken care of him to see his meal, pressing his hand to her forehead to smooth the hair away from her eyes.
Geet wanted to soak in his deep eyes and cling on to him as she never would on anyone.
"Sir I feel much better now, please call the doctor and ask him not to come."
She requested politely. She was back with her formals calling him Sir, it irked him and it showed in his tone.
"No, you will get checked and we are not going anywhere without it." He turned straight but didn't move away from her.
"Please Sir, I'm telling you the truth, see I already feel normal besides Dadima must be waiting for you."
He ignored her but did smooth his features; Dadima would be the one can bring him to agreement.
"And I'll myself go to the doctor soon, promise." She said quickly when he turned to her accusingly.
