MG- FAIRY...TAIL???!!! THREAD 11 - Page 51

She came back to reality with a startle. Her eyes were completely blank. Her face was expressionless. She looked at Dadima and then she she heard a familiar voice, "Maan..beta open your eyes…'

She slowly looked towards the voice and then at Jasmeet.

She looked at the voice again…she saw Avantika cry, calling out to Maan…she looked at an unconscious Maan and again looked at anatika kissing Maan's forehead.

As realization sunk into her slowly she just whispered, "MK…i…I found you.."

And she fainted in jasmeet's arms!

Jasmeet patted her face a couple of times. Avantika was surprised to see geet there and in that condition. The doctors rushed in to check geet. Dadima couldn't stop her her tears seeing her two beloved children in such a condition.

Later the doctors confirmed that geet had been too weak…mostly because of her witnessing the incident closely and then staying up the whole two days. It was later they came to know from Rahul and jess that she had been with Maan the entire two days, without moving. It suddenly felt very odd to Jasmeet and Avantika about the whole incident. Geet witnessing Maan's accident closely and then her being with Maan the entire time…they wondered what could have happened! Dadima was quiet. She knew whenever Maan went to London, he always met up with geet. She guessed there must be something wrong.

Next Day

She screamed, "please..help him…fast…" she cried. The cops held her back while the rescue workers pulled out his body…and carried it to the ambulance. She couldn't have borne the sight..his face smeared with blood…she would faint right there. She felt so uneasy. As the vehicle took him away, she ran after him madly.

"wait….stop…..where are you taking him like that…… stoppp… MAAANNN"

She snapped open her eyes, breathing heavily. Dadima hugged her, caressing her head, "its okay beta…you're fine…"

She looked here and there…what the hell she was doing on a hospital bed? And Dadima.. and then she was reminded of him.

"ma..maan… Dadima Maan?"

Tears clouded her eyes as she tried to get up pulling away the sheets. Dadima held her hand, "nahi geet…Maan theek hain…calm down!"

Geet tried to move away. Dadima cupped her face and looked into her eyes, trying to convince her, "Maan is fine beta…he is fine!"

Tears trickled down her eyes endlessly and she hugged Dadima by her waist, breaking down. Avantika had just come to check on geet when she saw Dadima with geet. She stopped by the door listening to them.

"Dadima.." she sobbed, "mujhe Maan se milna hain…please.."

Dadima: beta…you need rest. Abhi aap araam kijiye…we'll go once you feel better!

Geet: nahi Dadima…abhi milna hain…I can't live without him…sab meri galti hain..

She cried harder, hugging Dadima. Avantika just withdrew from there and went to Maan's room. He had gained consciousness the previous night..but geet was oblivious to this. He had gone extremely quiet. He wanted to know if geet was okay but damn these plasters! They wouldn't let him move. Thank god the accident was not fatal! His eyes searched for her the moment he had opened his eyes but she wasn't there…..! his mom was there…even mamma and Dadima, Rahul and jess…but she wasn't! it was slowly getting impossible for him to think with the anesthesia wearing off and the pain hitting hard! He closed his eyes and she just flashed in his mind. She lied! His heart bled with his wounds.

After geet had slept off after much persuation, Dadima came out to find Avantika waiting for her.

Avantika: maa aap batayengi yeh sab kya ho raha hain?

Dadima kinda understood the sternness in her voice. It was better to let everyone know…she recalled Maan had asked her not to tell anyone anything about him and geet until she finished her college and he establishes himself. But then seeing both of their conditions, she realized its better to say it.

Avantika was surprised to hear about Maan and geet. It then struck her that probably geet was the sole reason for Maan always getting excited about his London trips. She had kinda expected Sweetu-mk together but not like this! She didn't know what and how to react….should she be happy or sad..god knows!

Later that evening Jasmeet wanted to take geet home, to her flat. Geet refused flatly.

"mamma…Maan se milna hain.."

Jasmeet caressed her hair, "he is sleeping gudiya.."

She saw tears rolling down her cheeks.

"ek baar…. please.."

"doctor said not to disturb him.."

"please mamma…..dur se hi…" she cried.

Jasmeet somewhere felt. There was something more to it than just their Sweetu-MK friendship! She tried to reason that he was asleep but she couldn't have stayed in peace without seeing him.

As they out, geet couldn't hold back anymore. She turned back and ran to the ICU. The door was closed. She peeped in through the glass windows. Her heart ached to see him like that. he was probably asleep. She wanted to go in and hug him tight and tell him what he means to her…but then his words echoed in her mind, "you lied..!"" she realized how many times he had said that! guilt ate into her….how will she meet his gaze? She stood there dumb. Jasmeet came and pulled her hand. She caressed the glass with the other hand as she left!

Maan slowly opened his eyes…he knew she was there! Somewhere near! He turned his face towards the door…it was tough but he slowly did turn and there was no one! She wasn't there! His heart sunk!

They reached her flat. Geet hadn't spoken anything. Jasmeet had her own thoughts. As they reached, geet coldly walked out to her flat. Jasmeet followed quietly. Geet went straight to the bedroom. Jasmeet looked around. She had kept everything neatly..she loved it. Jasmeet looked for geet and entered her bedroom. She was shocked to see the walls…filled with her and Maan's photos beautifully.

Geet stood near a pic of hers and Maan, motionless. Tears rolled down as she caressed his face over the frame. Her eyes fell on the bed…she walked and clutched the spread tightly on her heart…remembering her most beautiful moments with him there.

Jasmeet was now slowly getting acquainted with the situation. She slowly walked to geet and kept her hand on her shoulder.

"geet..tu Maan ko chahti hain..hai na?"

She felt her body tremble a bit and she turned around and hugged her mamma tight. Jasmeet was quite happy about this but geet cried like a baby.

"sab meri galti hain mamma…I can't see him like that…mujhe jaana hain unke paas.."

Now everything started making senne to Jasmeet—geet having fun in London, coming out of her shell, the change in her as stated by mm, her calling up Jasmeet and crying out…they were all because of Maan..everything! somewhere she thanked Maan for getting geet back…making her come out of her shell.

Jasmeet thought geet was upset because of the accident. She caressed her head, consoling her that Maan will be fine. Geet felt so ashamed of herself . she committed a mistake…and she accepted it…but uski galti ki saza Maan ko kyun mili?

Jasmeet realized she was nowhere near stopping. Just to make the situation lighter, she said, "tera MK theek ho jayega gudiya…relax!"

She heard nothing beyond MK and she realized Maan was actually MK. She froze right there….her hands fell off jasmeet's shoulders, lifelessly! All this while she was with him….with MK??? Realization struck hard—the restlessness she felt at KM, the vase, the book, his "chup bilkul chup", his stark white neatly folded hankie, his attitude..all this while it was him????

-----------------------------------------

It was late at night..she sat in her balcony..lost…confused! Jasmeet was fast asleep but sleep was far away from her eyes! What should she do now? She had made herself believe that she hated MK…and here she was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with maa..no.. "mishtel khulana"..she smirked…what an irony! Should she go back to him? Her heart screamed, cried, "mujhe Maan ke paas jaana hain.."

Her brain held her back, "you can't go to him…he in MK..remember?"

She went blank…what should she do? She wanted to go but she didn't want to go!

In the morning Jasmeet found her sitting in the balcony, wide eyes, blank, expressionless. She panicked!

Jasmeet: geet..geet…gudiya you okay?

She looked at her mamma, "umm" that was all she said and went to freshen up. She turned on the shower, lost…still fighting…what would she do?

The water droplets drenched her…washing away her tears that just flowed out without her knowledge. Everything just flashed back in her mind—making the sand castle together…her visiting mk's place for the 1^st time, the snow white play, their kissey wissey, their endless phone calls and the drifting apart…her seeing Maan in the rain, their fights, their friendship blossoming into love and her madness and again..drifting apart! Her brain screamed, "you hate MK…be it your Maan or mishtel khulana.."

Heart: geet..think about Maan…please…

Jasmeet had to drag her out of the washroom when she didn't come out for a long time.

Maan waited and waited and waited for her…he didn't speak to anyone. Why is she not with him? Did she do something stupid? Or did she go back to Dan…after all she was meeting up with him secretly…! The physical pain was nothing in front of the pain he felt inside…and none around him seemed to understand that!

Geet went down with high temperature. She was just blank. Jasmeet couldn't understand what was happening. Geet was still fighting a war within…she didn't speak..didn't cry anymore, she just lied on her bed, looking into oblivion!

It was almost a week and geet was getting weaker. She had her medicines on time but still…something was eating her within. It was as if she was shutting herself back into her shell again!

Avantika and Yash decided to take Maan back to India. He was healing but his faith ws weakening. She didn't show up all these days…not even once…he wondered what can he expect! He hoped…yet he didn't hope! Yash arranged for his private chopper and all of them flew back to India…Maan sat quietly on his wheelchair…not protesting…not even agreeing to anything. It'd take him almost a month to get well and get rid of his wheelchair.

She changed her sides restlessly. Jess came to visit her and informed her about Maan's departure. She was shocked!!!!

Heart cried, "he went away without saying me anything!"

Brain shouted, "see geet…he left you alone again when you needed him the most!"

Heart: why did you lie geet?

Brain: even if you hadn't lied…he'd have any ways been mad at you!

Geet didn't say anything. She just covered her face with the duvet and tried to sleep!

Brain: Maan is still MK

Heart: no…no…no..he is not!

She had no idea what to think or what to do! One side she had her Maan who filled her life with so much love and happiness and the other side was MK…who made her realize that she was all alone! Jasmeet expected her to cry her heart out but was totally scared to see the coldness oozing out of her.

Maan sat in his room alone. Dadima came and kissed his forehead.

Dadima: how are you feeling beta?

He didn't reply. He just let out a sigh and closed his eyes!

Dadima could understand his state of mind…especially after seeing geet.

Dadima: hum bhi geet ka intezaar kar rahe the…

His heart skipped a beat hearing her name and his eyes shone with a layer of tear!

Maan (weakly): wo..nahi aayi Dadima…

She hugged him tight, letting his tears fall. She wanted to know what happened between them but she couldn't, provided the conditions! It was not a right time as of now!
