chapter 41:
Maan straightened at his words and looked towards brij.
Maan: I somehow feel whatever you're going to say is related to someone we both know. I've gone through this phase once before and that event still lingers in my memory just like yesterday. Please dont give me any news similar to that again. please...
maan pleaded with his eyes. Brij smiled at maan warmly.
Brij: no maan this time i need some answers and i promise you that there are no bad news from my side but i wonder if i can expect the same from you.
maan looked confused. Obviously, maan was utterly clueless about what brij was actually pointing at. This certainly dint sound good to his ears but he was ready to endure it anyway.
maan: bring it on...
brij sighed and got up from his chair and walked towards the plush light brown couch and gestured maan to have a seat across him. maan took his seat and eyed brij to take the conversation forward.
brij: are you in love with someone?
maan: what???
maan was downright surprised. he was expecting something very serious and brij gets to ask him such a question. what on earth has happened to brij??? what the hell is going on here??? maan wondered with bewilderment in his eyes.
maan:why are u asking such a qn??? what's this got to do with anything with the matter you want to discuss??? i dont understand.
brij: i'll come to that point, can you please answer the qn for me maan???
brij knew it all came as a shock for maan but he was prepared for his outburst if things went wrong. maan looked down absorbing brij's words one by one. Ofcourse, he was in love, actually madly and deeply and truly in love. To highten it out, he was in love with brij's sister, the one and one only GEET. With that running in his head, things started to dawn on him like the daylight. Now, he wondered if Brij knew about this. he would only ask such a qn, if he knew about his feelings but then again, none knew abt it. He smirked at brij and decided to keep is options open.
maan: In any manner i hope you dont think that i am love with your sister, do you?
brij was expecting this but maan's smirk only worried him about his suspicions.
Brij: no, not at all..
brij nodded in disagreement. Maan smiled, thats just what he wanted to hear but now that the things are spilling out in the open, he opted to play with the opportunity in his hands.
maan: so what is it that is bothering you???
brij chuckled nervously.
brij: you are as twisted as always. i think it's in best interest for me to spill the beans directly that you luring me to do so in the long run, right?
maan beamed at his victory but dint show it infront of brij. He respected brij too much to offend him any way.
maan: i guess so?
brij sighed. why was this so hard for him??? he closed his eyes,
brij: My sister, geet, is madly, deeply and truly in love with you and for the record she's become a zombie after she learned that you're in love with someone else. if you know what i am talking about?
brij finished his long sentence, opened his eyes, expecting maan to burst out laughing anytime thinking he was kidding but to his surprise maan looked at him with warmness. he dint understand why maan was eyeing him like that. Of all the things that could go wrong, he knew his sister's heart was long shredded into pieces and what remained now was a little hope that he could gather to make his sister realise life wasn't as bad as she thought and that there was hope for her love even now. But his plans could horribly go wrong if his calculations went wrong and if he had guessed it wrong when it came to maan. but right now, at the moment, he dint know whether he was right or wrong because maan's expression was unreadable. he dint understand whether maan was being sympathetic or he was being nostalgic about his sister's situation.
maan on the other hand felt like his whole world had fallen into place. With brij's declaration all he wanted was to run to geet and claim her as his. but his plans were yet to fall into place and he dint want to ruin it but on second thought he dint want to hurt the love of his life but he dint have any options. She had made him struggle so much and all he was trying to do was to make her jealous so that she would blurt out her love for him infront of everyone. And that he would make it happen, at any costs.
Brij: what are you thinking maan???
brij asked him noncholantly. maan looked at him, nervously.
maan: there is something i want you to know but before that i need you to promise me that whatever i am going to say is going to stay and rot in this room and even one bit gets out of here.
Maan had never thought he'd be saying things that he dint want to but he could ease a bit of brij's tension. it was the least he could do. Brij just sat there bewildered. He wondered if he was in some parallel universe or something, because he could see it clearly, things were just turning upside down. And with what maan just blurted, it just couldn't get anymore wierder than it already was. Why does life has to be so much complicated??? and somehow he knew by giving his word to maan, things would only go out of the loop. But then again what other option does he have infront of him right now? Absolutely none, so he did what he had to do get maan talking again even after realising he was geeting himself tied up into a ball. he sighed heavely before turning to maan,
Brij: i give you my word. whatever you say is going to be die out inside this room.
maan just smiled. his plan would now continue without being tampered.
