Part 16: "Wo there was Kulfi at you lips so I was just wiping it off" Maan said in order to reason himself while Geet just kept looking at ground in order to calm her ragged breathing.
Dere was an awkward silence between dem as none of them knows wat to say wen they both heard some noise across the road. Geet raised up her head to look across the road nd saw some kids gathered around the Kulfi vendor while he was just shooing dem away.
"How dare he to talk like this wid kids? I need to give him a piece of Mind" she said as she charged towards the vendor before Maan could say or do something.
"O God! Wats she going to do now? God please save that poor vendor from this sherni. But atleast like this we both were able to come out from this awkward situation but wat the hell I was doing? U was so close to her nd strangely it didn't feel wrong to me. y I always lost my control wen she's around me. y I always forget all my resolution wen he's wid me? y I wanted to feel those supple lips for some more tym? Gosh Maan get a grip on urself? Stop thinking all this crap she's Geet Ur enemy the same annoying girl whose lyf u had decided to make hell don't lost urself in her spell. Its just a matter of one more day nd tomorrow u both will be back to Delhi after party nd den everything will be fine" he thought as he looked at Geet who had reached towards the vendor all ready to teach him a lesson.
**********************************************************
"Wat the hell is this? Is dis the way u'll talk to kids? Aapke mummy papa ne apko manners nahin sikhaye kya that u are talking to kids like this?" Geet shouted at top of her lungs on vendor who stood dere amused looking at the girl in front of him.
[Wat the hell is this? Is dis the way u'll talk to kids? Doesn't your mother father had taught you manners that u are talking to kids like this?
"Madam ji you are shouting on me for no reason. Ek to in baccho ke paas paise nahi hai upar se ye log mera dimaag kha rahe hai k main in logon ko free me Kulfi de doon. Ab gussa to aayega hi Na." Vendor reasoned himself for his rude behaviour.
["Madam Ji you are shouting on me for no reason. first of all these kids don't have money wid dem nd above that they are eating my brain asking me to give dem Kulfi free of cost. So obviously I would be angry.]
"Dese kids didn't had money that doesn't give you right to shout at them like this. U can tell this thing to them politely also. But no u had such a big ego that it wont allow you to speak politely just like that Dusht Daanav" Geet said while seething in anger remembering Maan while poor vendor looked at her confused as to whom is she referring Dusht Daanav. Geet looked at him nd realizes wat did she just said.
"Anyways forget about that. Just give all of dem Kulfis right now as much as they want. Did you get that" Geet said nd all kids cheered in excitement
"But madam Ji wo money…….." he couldn't complete himself as Geet's deathly glare made him eat all his words
"Don't you dare to ask them about money. I am here na I'll pay for it. Just tell how much does it all cost I'll pay for it. Just give them their Kulfis." Geet said in a stern voice nd poor vendor immediately started giving Kulfis to the kids who just clapped their hands happily while Geet just bowed in front of them obliged by their praise.

Hoo dhoop mein jalte hue tann ko,
chhaya pedh ki mil gayi
Roothe bacche ki hansi jaise,
phuslaane se phir khil gayi
Kuch aisa hi ab dil ko
mehsoos ho raha hai
Barson ke puraane zakhmon pe
marham laga sa hai
Kuch aisa rehem,
Iss lamhe mein hai
ye lamha kahaan tha mera
Ab hai saamne,
Isse chhoo loon zara
Marr jaaun ya jee loon zara
Khushiyaan choom loon
Ya ro loon zara
Marr jaaun ya jee loon zara
Maan was watching all this from far. Though he didn't listened to the single word she said to the vendor but seeing her expressions nd her animated actions he could easily tell wat she must be saying to that vendor. She literally had taken gud class of that poor vendor. He saw the scared face of Vendor wen Geet was yelling at him nd den he saw Kids clapping guess she was successful in her scolding the poor vendor nd finally wen he saw the vendor giving Kulfis to the kids all his doubts are cleared that his Sherni is successful in her mission.
Wait did he just said 'his sherni'? Wat the hell did he just thought? How can he call her his in any way? But he can't deny the fact that wen he had thought her of as 'his' though in any way his heart had experienced an unknown satisfaction that he never felt before. He felt like he had possessed her in that fraction of second wen he thought her as 'his'. her heart feel contented in that moment. But den he immediately shrugged off all his thought as he realized wat he was thinking that too for Geet. No way! Geet will be the last girl for whom he can think like this way nd frankly speaking he just don't want to think like dis for any girl nd for Geet never, not even in his wildest dream.
He thought nd looked at Geet who was busy enjoying wid the kids having a good tym while relishing Kulfi. Just den he noticed a small boy pulling Geet's duppatta drawing her attention towards him nd wen Geet looked at him he gestured her to bend down. Geet smiled nd bend down to his level nd wen she bend down to his level he placed a soft kiss on his cheeks causing Geet to smile widely seeing his cute gesture nd she too kissed him nd ruffled his hair returning the favour. A smile formed on Maan's lips as he saw the scene in front of him to which he himself was unknown.
Can it be possible that whatever he was thinking about Geet till now was all wrong? Can it be possible that Geet was not at hypocrite just like other peoples around him who carries hypocracy in their veins? Her gestures, her way of living, her point of view on the aspects of lyf everything seems to be real. Unlike other girls she never drooled upon him instead she's the only girl who had audacity to answer him back. so does that mean that he was wrong in judging Geet till now, May be yes. Whether he accept it or not but Geet is really different from other girls nd somewhere at the back of his mind he too had accepted it. Wat he saw just now it only indicates that for Geet there's no difference between human beings whether they are poor or rich nd dis he had witnessed just now otherwise who'll pay for any other's Kulfi or who'll kiss any random street boy, she's definitely different. She doesn't seem to be fake den why it's getting difficult for him to accept this change of his lyf. He thought nd looked at Geet who was coming towards him after paying the vendor for all the Kulfis.
"Didi!!!!!" he hears all the kids calling in unison breaking his chain of thoughts nd he looked at the direction.
Geet stopped in her tracks nd turned to look at him wen dey all shouted "Thank you" in unison nd den waved bye at her. She smiled widely nd gave dem a flying kiss nd waved dem back too. Dis antic of hers has made Maan smiled too dat too widely something that he never did from ages but Geet had made him to do now. But den wat he saw next had made his eyes widen in horror. He saw a truck advancing towards her while she was standing on the middle of the road totally oblivious of the danger coming towards her as she was busy waving to kids.
"Geet!!!!" Maan screamed as he saw Truck coming near her making Geet to look at him in confusion. But den she realized y did he screamed all of a sudden as she too notices the truck coming towards her.
Geet just stood rooted on her spot not knowing wat to do next. Her legs were just frozen at its place refusing to move aside as she felt her whole body paralyzed due to fear. She closed her eyes in fear as she saw her death approaching towards her in the form of that truck. Just then she thought that this is the end of her lyf she felt someone pushing her away from her place holding her tight from her waist nd next she knows that she landed on something hard but it was not road. She raised her head up only to find herself on top of Maan who was looking at her wid Panic filled eyes
Maan had seen the Truck nearing towards Geet nd wen he saw Geet rooted at her spot not moving an inch he dnt know y but a sudden fear crept in his heart as if he's going to loose something important. Without wasting tym or caring of his lyf he runs towards her pulled her aside before Truck could crush her under it. They both landed on the road rolling wid Geet on top of him. he hides her soft frame in his hard one to prevent her from any injuries nd wen he felt Geet clutching his shoulders tight due to fear he immediately increased his grip on her waist to make her sure that she's fine now nd nothing had happened to her.
He looked deep into her eyes wen she raised her head up to look at him only to find fear in dem which was dere in his eyes too; Fear of losing her. He don't know why but he felt like someone stabbed his heart wen he saw that truck coming towards her. His heart was still racing at fast pace not able to believe that she's safe nd nothing had happened to her. Geet too looked into his eyes only to find an unknown fear nd panic for dem which was strangely for her, just for her. She had never expected Maan to react in this way. She always thought that Maan would be the last person on this earth who'll risk his lyf in danger to save her but wat she saw today was completely different from what she thought. His eyes were telling that if something had happened to her then he wont be able to live his lyf. But y, that she don't know. She could still feel his thudding heart under his heart which was still trying to believe that she's fine.
"Sahab, Madam Ji, Aap log theek to ho Na." Vendor's voice brings both of dem back to reality.
[Sir, Madam, Are you both fine?]
Dey immediately looked other way nd Geet immediately gets off from him while straightening her dress. Maan too get up from the road dusting his clothes nd looked at Geet who was still petrified with the sudden turn of events.
"Tum Theek to ho Na Geet?" Maan asked as he held her by her shoulders still panting heavily. Geet looked at him nd was surprised to see his voice so much full of concern nd care. His eyes clearly showing how much scared he is.
[Geet, are you fine]
"I am fine Maan sir." Geet said softly as she looked into his eyes which are oozing concern for her. She don't know whether she was reading it right or not but she saw fear in them that too for her.
"Who asked you to stand in the middle of the road nd den waved dem bye? What if something would have happened to you?" his voice full of concern bring her back from her thoughts
"I am sorry sir." Geet said for the first tym not answering him back for his accusations surprising Maan. He had never expected an apology from her especially den wen he knows that she never accepts her mistakes nor did she leave any chance to answer him back.
Geet just couldn't answer him back even if she want to. The care nd concern for which she longed so much, she had seen that in his eyes which made her speechless. Probably for the first tym she had seen this side of Maan who had saved her from dyeing without even caring nd something could have happen to him too. Both didn't say a word to each other but just kept looking in each other's eyes. The vendor saw both of them nd den went back to his place shrugging his shoulders but Maan nd Geet didn't moved from their place. Maan looked into her eyes nd he could swear that he had seen a layer of tear forming in those eyes, But y he don't know that. For some unknown reason he just couldn't bear to see tears in those eyes for whatever the reason is. He had just extended his hand only to wipe that lone tear that just had escaped from her eyes wen the voice of mechanic brought him back into reality.
"Sir Ji, your car has been repaired. You can check it once if you want." Mechanic voice brought both of them out from their thoughts nd dey both parted a bit away from each other nd Geet looked other side in order to prevent herself from being vulnerable in front of him. Maan looked at her for a while nd den left with Mechanic towards his car followed by Geet

Dor se tooti patang jaisi,

Aaj hoon kal ho mera na ho
Har din thi kahaani meri
Ek bandhan naya peeche se
ab mujhko bulaaye
Aane wale kal ki kyun fikar
mujhko sataa jaaye
Ik aisi chubhan,
iss lamhe mein hai
Yeh lamha kahaan tha mera
Ab hai saamne,

Marr jaaun ya jee loon zara
Khushiyaan choom loon

Whole ride towards the hotel was silent nd none of them spoke to each other. Neither Geet cribbed or blabber anything nor did Maan retort back for anything. Both were lost in their own thoughts. On the one hand where Geet was trying to comprehend as what was that feeling that she saw in Maan's eyes few moments back at the same tym Maan too was confused the way his heart felt wen he saw that Truck approaching Geet. He could still feel the hairs of her spine standing erect wen he thought of that sight. He was never scared dis much before for anything like he was at that tym. But y he was this much scared nd that too for Geet which according to him doesn't matter anywhere in his lyf. Whether he accept it or not but Geet's every act effects him a lot. Just like the last night wen she was scared from her nightmare he was dere with her in no tym nd didn't left her whole night so that she can sleep peacefully just like she slept in his arms wen he hugged her back. No matter how much he tries to deny the fact but somewhere at the back of his mind he knew that Geet had occupying a place in her heart nd lyf.
Geet on the other hand was trying to come into the terms that wat she saw in Maan's eyes was not just for her. he could have probably reacted in the same way only if there was any other person in her place but Everytym she think of this her heart denies this fact nd keeps on telling her that the care, the concern, the fear she had seen in his eyes were just for her nd only her. She couldn't ignore the sense of safety nd satisfaction she felt wen Maan had held her close to himself while saving. It was the same feeling that she felt wen she saw that dream this morning where someone had saved her from the person who is running behind her. She felt the same warmth that she felt in the dream wen he had hugged her. So can it be possible that god is trying to give some signs to her, she thought but den immediately she shrugged it off. No, Maan can't be the person whom Babaji had sent in her life as her angel. Just because he had saved her from dyeing doesn't mean that he was her angel. She couldn't forget that he's the same person who had swear to make her life hell nd had left no stones unturned for that. He's nothing more then a Devil den how can she think him as of her Angel. But her heart was continuously denying this fact nd was telling her his own tale confusing her in her own ideologies nd perceptions.
Both didn't realize wen they reached to their hotel lost in their own thoughts. Geet quietly got down from the car nd headed towards reception area to collect the key for their room followed by Maan who was just looking at her dazed state.
"Probably she's still scared from that accident" he thought as he saw her going towards the elevator nd den followed her over dere.
*************************************************************
Geet had already changed into her night dress nd wen Maan was in washroom taking shower she quickly took the advantage of opportunity nd took her sleeping pill in order to get rid from her nightmare nd in no tym she hit the bed without even waiting for their dinner to arrive nd drifted into deep sleep in order to get rid from all the thoughts that were wandering in her mind.
After a while wen Maan came out from Washroom he saw Geet already sleeping peacefully. He thought of waking her up nd asking her to take dinner first but seeing her sleeping so peacefully he cant able to do so therefore he cancels the order of the dinner nd went towards the couch to work on the Laptop. But he couldn't concentrate on his work even for a second as the flashes of Geet came into his mind since the tym he met her. She was so different from what she thought her as wen he met her for the first tym wen he saved her from coming under his car.
He thought her as another gold digger who just seeks chances to trap rich peoples with such kind of tricks nd how she had yelled at him denying all his accusations nd den how Everytym destiny brings both of them face to face with each other by every now nd den nd now she's working with him. Nd here in this trip he had seen a new side of her who is carefree nd optimistic to everything unlike him. Who can't stand anything wrong in front of her even if it was a stranger. Nd dis he had witnessed just few hours back wen he saw her fighting with the vendor for those poor kids with whom she don't have any relation. Can anyone have so many colors in her like her; he thought nd looked at Geet who was sleeping peacefully
He remembered last nite wen he gets up from her sleep screaming after facing a nightmare nd how she calmed down in his arms nd den slept peacefully whole night nd it was not only she who had slept peacefully whole night, he also slept for the first tym in all these years peacefully nd without any tension or frustration in his mind. For the first tym his heart felt contented. He wants same contentment today also. He wants same satisfaction that she sleeps without any fear today also. No matter how much hard he tries to ignore this urge of his but he just can't.
Unable to control his urge he got up from the couch nd went towards the bed where she was sleeping. He looked at her sleeping form for sometym nd a smile automatically crept on his face as he saw her sleeping like a baby hugging a pillow all cuddled up. He slowly went towards other side of bed without removing his gaze from her nd slipped next to her keeping a safe distance between dem yet close enough to feel the warmth of her body. He knows wat he's doing is nothing but an insane act nd he's stupid to do all this but he had learnt it from her only that sometimes being stupid doesn't costs much, it just adds some more spice to lyf, he thought nd chuckled at his own thought. For the first tym Maan Singh Khurana is learning something from someone else nd that someone else was none other then the girl who is his biggest enemy in today's date but strangely he didn't felt bad for that. Lost in his thoughts he didn't realize wen did he slept while watching her sleeping.
************************************************************
Next morning Maan woke up early then Geet nd as expected he found her snuggled closer to him just like last day. He don't know why but he don't want this moment to end but he needs to get up before this Sherni wakes up from her sleep nd starts another round of her accusations nd blabbering. Thinking this he reluctantly frees her from his grip nd placed her safely to her side of Bed nd went out for his workout but not before giving a last glance to her.
After sometym wen he came back from his workout he saw Geet al ready nd sitting on the couch making a grumpy face nd cribbing something while looking upwards. He just shakes his head seeing this antics of hers nd went near her.
"Wat happen now for which you are bothering the great Almighty? Aren't we humans were enough that now you are not sparing God too." Maan said sarcastically as he sat beside her nd the moment he sat beside her Geet felt her breath got hitched in her throat.
She felt an unknown sensation in her body that she haven't felt before. She was completely dazed with his nearness nd was not in the state to say anything. His manly cologne along with the sweat was not letting her think anything straight nd were creating havoc in her body. She had never felt like this way before for anyone den y is she feeling like this for him
"Geet, I am asking you something? What happen that you were cribbing so much?" Maan said bringing Geet out from her reverie nd she immediately composed herself.
"Den wat should I do if not crib? We had to go at the party in the evening nd I don't have any dress for that? I had brought just one pair of clothes with me for emergency that's it. Now what should I wear for party. If I would have known that we have to attend party too then atleast I would bring some clothes with me." Geet said while pouting nd strangely Maan found it cute wen she does that but then he immediately composed himself.
"You were saying as if I got a dream back in Delhi dat we had to attend the party over here. For your kind information I too haven't brought any clothes for Party." Maan said as he rolled over his eyes only to see Geet twisting her lips.
"So? you are a male. Ur clothing doesn't matter much. I mean you guys have to wear shirts nd trousers only for whatever the occasion is so you can manage Ur clothes datsy you are not bothering this much but we girls had to see so many things before selecting a dress for the party. We had to look elegant along with beautiful nd I don't have any such dress with me for party." She said as she looked other way nd Maan felt like banging his head somewhere listening to her logic.
"From where the hell did she get these logics" he thought as he saw her cribbing again while looking upwards.
"Oh so you want to say that we guys can wear anything for the party. For your kind information we too have to see many things before we get dressed up for the party got it. We need to look professional along with handsome. Therefore we can't wear just anything for the party. Anyways why I am telling you all this. Ur thick brain won't be able to understand It nd unnecessarily u'll get pain in your knees." he said with a lop sided smile nd the moment those words left his mouth Geet turned nd gave a glare to him but he cared less. Strangely now-a-days he enjoys his bickering with her.
"Now stop giving these looks nd get ready fast. We are going for shopping after breakfast to get a dress for the party." Maan said in order to divert her mind before she could kill him.
"Shopping!!!!!!" she said excitedly but next moment her face fell confusing Maan.
"Now what happen? Don't you want to buy dress for Party?" Maan said literally not understanding her mood swings.
"No it's not like that. Actually I haven't brought much cash with me nd in hurry to leave for Shimla I had left my ATM card also at home." Geet said sadly nd Maan literally wanted to bang his head somewhere now. Now from where the hell this money issue had came wen he's going to pay. But he can't blame her too, knowing her he needs to be more specific with his words, he thought.
"Don't worry for that. Ur bill will be paid off." Maan said calmly nd Geet looked at him in surprise.
"WAT? Excuse me Sir if you think that I am going to let you pay for my dress then forget it. Waise bhi u don't leave any chance for accusing me that I am trying to trap you nd by doing this u'll get one more chance. Thanks but no Thanks I can buy any good dress with whatever money I am having with me. I don't want your favour." She said nd for the first tym in all these days Maan felt bad for behaving nd accusing her like this till now due to which she had made this comception of hers but den his Ego is too big to accept it.
"Geet, do you have a habbit to jump into conclusion without listening anything? I meant to say that since this is an official party nd was unexpected so all the expenses of the dress of both of us will be paid by KC only. We had done like this many tymes for many employees so i am not doing any kind of favour to you." Maan said nd Geet squinted her eyes.
"Are you saying true?" Geet asked while narrowing her eyes in order to confirm the last bits of doubts left in her.
"Now should I write this in Stamp Paper den u'll believe? Just stop putting pressure on you pea-sized brain nd order for the breakfast. I am going to take shower nd after breakfast we'll leave for shopping." Maan said nd gets up from the couch before Geet could say anything else.
For few minutes she just sat over dere trying to register wat did he just said. Is wat he was saying was really true? Did KC really pay for the dresses for such an unexpected parties or he was just saying lie to her. But then she thought why would he lie to her for this. Probably KC really reimburse expenses for such situations otherwise Maan nd paying for her dress, never. It is as same as sun rising from the west. She thought nd den called the room service for their breakfast.
"Thank God Maan gayi. Otherwise I don't know how much more lies nd excuses I have to make to make her agree for this because basically she won't take my help at any cost. Now atleast like this she'll buy the dress of her own choice without any worry." Maan thought while standing near the washroom door watching the change of expressions on her face as she was trying to register his words nd putting her own logics to believe him nd wen he was sure that she believed whatever he said to her, he went inside the washroom smiling nd patting himself for saying such a perfect lie that too for the first tym in his lyf. don't know what else this girl will make him do now.
