MG- FAIRY...TAIL???!!! THREAD 11 - Page 19

There were people shouting.. screaming, police announcing something sirens blaring loud and he could hardly make out words something like alone...i hate you…spare me please…. And the call was disconnected. He wondered why she was this mad…may be because he couldn't make it to her birthday…! Nonetheless, he'd call her back later. People were shouting and screaming…police was around too…..and he was stuck!!!

It was around 11:30 at night when finally the traffic cleared. He needs to call up Sweetu. She might be mad at him. His cell beeped mercilessly. It was geet.

Maan: hello…geet??

She stiffened a bit hearing his voice. So familiar….No No…she pushed back the Sweetu inside..no more MK now!

Geet: Maan…mujhe aapse abhi milna hai..

Maan: but geet..its so late…

She cut hin in between and screamed, "mujhe abhi milna hai Maan.."

He could hear her voice tense.

"kya baat hain geet…itni pareshaan kyun ho?"

Her voice cracked, "Maan…p..please.."

"okay tell me where are you…am coming!"

"no..Maan..meet me near Lodhi garden.."

"in 15 mintues sweet heart!"

He took a sharp turn and headed towards his destination.

He paced up and down worried as to what could have made her this disturbed. It's already 15 minutes and she was still not there. A few seconds later he saw a faint figure running towards him and the next moment she was in his arms, hugging him tight, panting. He held her close to his chest. It's been a week since he had seen her…she looked so pale!

His arms were so soothing…so warm…she instantly forgot her anger.

Maan: geet..kya baat hain..itni pareshaan kyun ho?

She wrapped her arms round his wait tight and tucked herself closer.

Geet: Maan… why do people expect something when they know those expectations won't be fulfilled?

There was so much depth in those words. He caressed her hair softly.

"umm…may be because it teaches you to get stronger and stand on your feet each time!"

She smiled closing her eyes, feeling soothed, "you're the best you know that!"

"of course…wo to mein hun hi na..! koi shaq?"

She giggled. Maan checked his watch. Umm 5 minute to 0000.

He parted a bit and held her hands. She looked like an angel in that moonlight. He kissed her hands, "happy birthday geet!"

She had a wide smile on her face…but then geet madam had her tantrums. She immediately faked anger.

"itna late kyun wish kiya?"

Maan: am sooo sorry geet…but I've been keeping busy a lot lately…don't know why but am just getting busier…i…

She tiptoed and pulled him into a deep kiss. He smiled. His hands snaked around her waist while he reciprocated to her kiss with an equal intensity.

She pulled back after a while, making a baby face. He arched his brows.

Geet (cutely): mujhe bhookh lagi hain!

Maan rolled his eyes…this girl has strangest thoughts at the strangest times.

Maan:tumne dinner nahi kiya ab tak?

She cutely shook her head for a no.

Maan: are you mad?

She sweetly nodded her head for a yes and when he glared at her, she immediately shook her head!

Maan: chalo lets go for dinner. Mujhe bhi bhook lagi hain.

He drove her to a nearby food junction. Both sat there eating their food quietly while Maan had gone thoughtful.

Maan: by the way geet, ye Dan ka kya chakkar hai?

She chocked her food. He immediately passed her a glass of water.

Geet: matlab??

Maan: pata nahi geet…that night after your birthday party, he had called up. You had already slept off by then.

Geet was surprised, "he did? Why didn't you tell me?"

Maan: you were already sleeping shona…I didn't want to disturb you!

Geet: umm..he is just trying to enjoy his time Maan. Rahul is always busy with jess…so he gets bored. So he calls me out whenever he gets time.

Maan trusted her but still didn't like the whole thing. Something was wrong here…something amiss. He didn't want to bother her so he left the conversation right there.

Maan: just be careful okay,

Geet: umm…am flying back tomorrow Maan.

Maan: what? Itni jaldi?

Geet laughed, "its been a week here Maan…college will reopen in 3 days..i need to go!"

He wanted her to drop her at her place but she insisted on lodhi garden. Her car was parked there. She had sneaked out of her house. Before leaving, she placed a quick peck on his lips.

Geet: when are you coming to London?

Maan smiled, "most probably next week sweetheart!"

Geet: I'll be waiting.

And she drove off. She was feeling so light…so good. And the best part was Sweetu learned a new thing today—if MK doesn't care…then why should she?

Maan fell on his bed, lost in deep thought. He remembered his talk with Rahul a few days before he had left for London. It was then he had got to know about Dan spending time with geet. Not that he'd mind that…of course he was not so narrow minded..she had her own freedom. But Rahul had also said that may be Dan had a liking towards geet. Whenever he was with geet, he'd never invite Rahul or jess and geet did say that Dan told her that the other two were busy.

And then Geet's birthday—he did notice that look on Dan's face when he was with geet and then his withdrawing back at the end. And then late night calls—he had called up 5-6 times. Geet was fast asleep by then. Initially Maan had rejected his calls and later switched off her cell phone.

The next day geet was super busy in getting her things ready for her departure. Jasmeet was getting emotional. But then she'd be back after 5-6 more months at max.

Maan was in his office. Umm may be he could call up Sweetu. After all she was mad at him for missing her birthday. He smiled—she hasn't changed a bit.

Geet was running helter-skelter to get her things when Jasmeet handed over a phone to her saying it was MK…ahh she was least interested. Jasmeet went to the office for an important meeting. Geet thanked her stars. She didn't even want to talk to him now but still she did.

Geet: hello

Maan: Sweetu…

Both went numb for a moment. Their voices sounded so familiar to each other. Geet felt lump in her throat but then she pushed back all the thoughts.

Geet: thanks for calling mk…BUT I DON'T THINK YOU'VE ANYMORE REASONS TO TALK TO ME..

Maan was surprised to hear that. why was she behaving so rudely since yesterday?

Maan: what are you talking about Sweetu…why are you behaving like this?

Geet bit out spitefully, "as if you don't know.."

Maan tried to reason with her anger, "I really don't…and sorry I couldn't make it yesterday…I was stuck in the traffic…"

Geet: exactly! You never have anything except excuses…hai na…back then and even today! What do you think of yourself han?

Geet was blinded by anger…fury. But Maan was shocked and then she was accusing him for god knows what! How dare she? Did she forget that she was dealing with the Maan Singh Khurana?

Maan shouted, "enough Sweetu! Here am trying to make things better between us and look at you….what has gotten into you han?

Geet: better between us? There was no US MK….it was always YOU! And there is nothing between us samjhe! You were never there for me…not that day and not even today!

Maan roared, "ohh really…is it? It was you…let me be clear Sweetu, it was YOU who had disconnected the call that night…not me…

Geet was nowhere near listening.

Geet: aur kitna jhooth bologe han…tang aa gayi hon ye jhoothi tasalli sun sun kar…meri zindagi mein ab tumhare liye koi jagah nahi hai..get that clear!

Maan: samajhti kya ho apne aap ko? Tumhe kya lagta hai…tum mujhe apni zindagi se nikal dogi and I'll come back to you crying and begging? You don't know whom are you dealing with! tumhare jo mann mein aaya tumne bol diya…not even listening to me for once and you think after that I'll go behind you?

Geet: I don't need you..

Maan: so do I! you are not my old Sweetu anymore…

Geet: yeah you're right…am not!

And both disconnected the call. Geet threw away the phone angrily and get back to her work. She'd be leaving in the next one hour.

Maan sat in the office…fuming. She just accused him for no apparent reason. It did hurt his ego big time. Not even listening to him…who the hell does she think herself han! But then his mind drifted towards her voice!

"is that you geet?" he mumbled!

"no…you can't be geet! My geet is not conceited and arrogant like you Sweetu! You can never reach her standard!"

Geet was so darn angry…frustrated and the most important thing—she never regretted their fight. For her it was meant to be. He deserved it. She was so blinded by her anger…the helplessness she had felt years back…she failed to listen to her own heart!

It was a month since she was back in London. Dan had been so worried about her. she had gone away without informing her friends. And when she had reached her flat, he was already there, asking her neighbors about her whereabouts. Soon as he saw her, he ran and hugged her tight, slowly realizing the feelings that were brewing up inside him.

She was too lost to understand and reciprocate anything. And it so happened that Geet's most of the time was spent with Dan.

Maaneet's calls had dipped to almost nil. Both were so disturbed with that day's fight. Moreover, Maan was slowly stepping towards success and his workload had increased 10 folds while geet…she immersed herself in studies and also started helping Jasmeet in her work. Jasmeet would mail her data and project related stuffs while she'd giver her inferences and send her feedback. That way Jasmeet thought, she could learn about their business.

Maan did call her once or twice and every time he asked where she was, the reply was…either she was busy with her assignments or out with Dan. This was something Maan didn't like. He told her to be careful around Dan and not involve herself too much with him. But geet had other thoughts—come on..dan is just a friend right and he was getting bored without Rahul and so was she without Maan. So meeting up with him to pass her time was not a bad idea. Maan worries for nothing. And the best part—she never lied to him if she was with Dan. Maan would snap angrily but she knew how to pacify him. And this transparency was what Maan liked the best in her. he just hoped this trust didn't break. Distance can create a lot of problems…just as it did with Sweetu and him!

Days went like that. Maan hadn't been able to visit her due to his hectic schedule. He had to postpone his meeting in London to a later date. Geet was lost in her own world. Life sure moves fast. Maan was slowly making is presence obvious in the corporate world.

It was a weekend and Dan had taken her to the disc. Rahul was there too and even jess. Geet felt quite good to see them. They enjoyed a lot with a little twist—geet got drunk! Geet preferred to stay away from drinks and this was purely accidental. She even hated the smell of those stuffs. And drunk geet—it's a bad bad idea.

Dan somehow managed to make her sit in the car while Rahul took to the steering. They dropped jess at her place and reached Geet's place. Dan supported her and took her in while Rahul waited in the car.

She was giggling away. She opened her bedroom door and went in running. Dan followed her, lest she needed help. He was shocked to see the walls decorated with her and Maan's pics, all round. Some contained his, Rahul's and jess' but most of it had maaneet together. He felt so out of place….he burnt and he couldn't help it either….for him, it came out so natural!!!!

He looked for her. she stood by one of hers and Maan's pic, running his hand on it. She was missing him badly! She looked so pristine…so beautiful…he couldn't hold himself back.

He held her hand and pulled her towards him. She was already tipsy. She fell on him and he balanced her holding her by her waist.

Dan: I wanted to say you something…

She giggled and looked away and he couldn't even look into her eyes. He pulled her harder to straighten her…she wriggled. He tried again and she snapped this time. He held her chin and made her look at him forcibly and lowered his lips to hers.

She went numb... her entire body repulsed the touch…it was not Maan. NO… even in that drunk state she felt the difference…it was so darn disgusted. He bit her lips hard to get in…he sealed them even tighter, trying to get out of his hold. She pushed him with all her might..hit his chest…the only thing she knew was that this was not the touch that she craves for….! Dan was frustrated to find her not responding. He pulled back only to see tears rolling down those beautiful eyes. She pushed him back gathering all her energy. She stumbled and fell back on her bed!

Fresh tears rolled down, "Maan…where a…are y..you?"

Dan heard that..he just walked out unable to bear the pain in his heart…hearing someone's else's name from her mouth, banging the door shut.

She lied there…unable to get up…unable to get rid of that disgusting feeling…

"Maan.." and another drop of tear trickled down!
