Part 43
Khurana Constructions
Maan was seated in his cabin,perplexed.From the time Geet left KC to go for shopping,he had an uneasy feeling creeping in.Maan reflected that he was supposed to have left office by now as the party in the Mansion must have almost begun & Geet must have been waiting for him.Instead of being excited,he was finding it tough to deal with unwelcomed thoughts.
He did not notice his dad coming inside the cabin.It was only when Yash called out to him that Maan's trance broke.He was surprised to see Yash there.Maan got up & greeted him.
"Dad?You here?"
"Something important.As you love Geet,you must tell her everything about the will" said Yash in a firm manner.
Maan was shell-shocked hearing him,"Yeh aap kya kehe rahe hai dad!She will be completely broken if she comes to know that I wanted to marry her for business!I can't live without her Dad!"
"That was past right?Now you love her!And she has to know the truth!Marriage is a pure relation,you can't hide anything from her,if she comes to know the truth after marriage,the consequenses can be more extreme."
"But I-"
"Maan bete,"Yash placed his hand on Maan's shoulder,"As a father,I will wish only happiness for you.I don't know why Dev is doing all this..."he paused,"Maan,I do not wish to lecture you in this matter.I am sure you understand my point.Geet is a strong girl.She will never leave your side.."
For the first time,Yash made himself known as a caring parent
"Tell her today itself.I am waiting for you in the car.Come fast.."
Walking slowly,Yash exited the cabin.
Maan sighed."I guess you are right Dad,maybe I am feeling uneasy because I have not told her the truth but I will tell her today.." resolved Maan.
Khurana Mansion
(At the party..)
The guests had started to arrive.Basically Dadima had planned the party to officially announce Maan & Geet's grand wedding which would be two days later.The party was arranged in KM hall which was decorated richly with perfect amalgamation on various shades of dazzling lights.The table of drinks occupied one corner of the hall whereas the dinner arrangements took the other.The dance floor had various couples dancing,whereas the other guests were seen having drinks & exchanging talks with each other.All were having a good time.
But all the glitz & glamour failed to wipe off the emptiness & coldness in Geet who was standing near the first floor railings overlooking the party hall.Her mind was blank & so was her face except that she could blink her eyes.All her energy was directed towards her fingers which clutched the railings hard.Though her eyes looked at the hall below,she was unconscious of what was going around her...
Just then Annie came to her & placed her hand on Geet's shoulder which seemed to momentarily interlude her.
"Geet,what are you doing here alone,come & join the party!"said Annie cheerfully.
"Yes.."said Geet unconsciously but did not move.
Finally Annie held her hand & made Geet to descend the stairs with her to the hall..In her excitement,Annie did not notice the pallid look on Geet's face...
Just then Maan Singh Khurana along with Yash arrived at the Mansion.There were news repoters waiting for Maan at the gates but Maan avoided everyone & walked inside.The reporters followed him to some extent but were later stopped by the heavy security.
As soon as Maan entered the party hall,he suddenly felt an unusual deadness in the air.Talks & laughs filled the hall but still the air felt incongrous to him.He was then engaged in friendly handshakes but his eyes searched for Geet wondering why didn't she come to greet him.Finally he saw her standing in a corner of the hall with Annie & Rhea.She had worn the same sari which she had donned at the Pondicherry club party & was looking mesmerizing as always.Maan stared at her completely bowled by her beauty.It suddenly dawned to him that something was utterly wrong about her.Her face was pale white & she stood stoned like a statue with her eyed devoid of any emotions.She was not even aware of Maan being present.Maan was shocked seeing her in such an abnormal manner wondering what had happened.He walked in her direction.Just then she saw him.He was stunned to see her eyes overcome by a feeling of rancour as her gaze met him.She immediately walked away from there...
Maan was numb with shock.She had never behaved like this with him before.He tried approaching her many times,but she avoided his every move & did not look at him.He tried to speak to her but she ignored him ruefully.Geet was careful not to cross paths with Maan.After many failed encounters,Maan grew restless & angry.He couldn't bear to see Geet avoiding him completely as if she had no relation with him...Just then a chill ran down his spine as if he had realized something "Kahin Geet ko will ke baare mein pata toh..nahi chal gaya?" the thought was enough to send shivers down his entire body.He immediately looked at Dev who smirked evilly at him.That was enough to burn Maan in agony..
Just then the spotlight shifted to the dance floor.All the couples were invited to dance.The music began playing. Rhea went to the dance floor alone.She was looking very beautiful that evening.With her seductive expressions,she called Dev to join her in a dance & no wonder Geet saw that Dev just walked to Rhea as if captivated by her beauty.Undoubtedly,Rhea had everything a man desired!Dev was almost looking like a puppy in love with her.Geet gave a weak smile seeing them dance.
Just then Geet felt a strong hand gripping her wrist.She was horrified as she saw Maan.
"Leave my hand,Maan!"said Geet,ruefully.
"No,first you have to tell me why are you behaving like a stranger to me!!!!!" asked Maan,his eyes lighted in fury.
"I said leave my hand!!!!"
Geet freed herself from his grip & began to walk upstairs.Maan was quick to follow.
"Geet,meri baat suno!!!"called Maan as Geet walked with quick steps along the corridors of the first floor.
Surprisingly Geet made her way inside Maan's room & stood with her arms crossed.Her eyes brought all the feelings of agony & pain that she had caged within her the whole day.When Maan came there,he saw her with her back faced towards him.He was almost sure that Dev must have manipulated her.Anger crept inside him like fire but as of now he had to coax Geet.She heard his footsteps nearing her.She clenched her fists tightly.
He took a deep breath.
"Geet...mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai!"
"Really?What a co-incidence!But you will talk only those things which I want to hear!"
she said in a rueful manner as she turned to face him.The look on her face puzzled him to a great extent.
"Whatever,you heard from Dev is not true at all!" he said firmly looking at her.
She smirked,"Again a co-incidence Mr Khurana!You already know the subject of our talk!And you gave a right answer to my very first question 'Dev is wrong' "her voice echoed sarcasm.
"Fine!!!If you want to talk in this manner,then so be it!!!"
They exchanged baleful glares.
She proceeded slowly towards the drawer making Maan curious with her every move.Maan was startled when he saw her ejecting the gun lying in the drawer.But Maan,as known,gained his composure.
"This gun...even after discovering this deadly thing in your room,I trusted you completely Maan!but I didn't know you were putting sand in my eyes right from the beginning!I was so foolish to even think that Maan Singh Khurana can ever love me!" she completed in a heavy voice
"Geet!" He couldn't bear to hear that.He took a step towards her..
"Stop!!!" she aimed the gun at him,"Stop right there!" her hands were shaking but she managed to hide it.
Maan looked into her eyes.He was startled to see the same depth of love in her eyes even though she was standing pointing the gun at him.He stared at her for a while...
"Tell me Maan!You faked love to me so that I don't refuse to marry you!" her voice hated to say that but her anger compelled her.
"False!!"
He says looking direct into her eyes which shocked her.He moved a step closer to her.
"You used me so that you could gain power & position!" her voice choked.
"False!!"
He moved closer to her,the gun being still pointed at him.
"Don't come close to me!!The gun is loaded!!!" she tried to stop him.
Maan ignored her,"I don't care as I know you would never ever press the trigger!!!" He inched more closer to her...
"I will press the trigger!!" said Geet,her eyes sharply looking at him.
"Okay,Shoot!!!!" said Maan,smirking.as he almost came close to her.
Geet was dumbfounded seeing his reactions as if she was threatening him with a toy!She felt the wall behind her.As he moved nearer,Geet felt that her strong grip around the gun loosening.Maan smirked as he placed his one hand on the wall above her shoulder & he stretched his other hand to her.
"Give me the gun!" said Maan firmly.
She did not make eye-contact with him.She could feel his breathing on her cheeks.
"You asked the questions,I answered all,now give me the gun & listen to whatever I have to say!!"he almost said in a commanding tone.
Geet looked at him.He did not display any amount of guiltiness. She frowned .
"The gun!!!" he said in a loud voice.
That made her shivered & her hands automatically handed the gun to him.The gun was indeed loaded...
"Now listen to me Geet!" he said in a highly serious tone.
Geet paid no heed.She prepared to go but Maan caged her between the wall & himself.She tried to free herself but he held her wrist tightly & hooked it to the wall.She struggled but had to give in to his mascular strength.Maan was irritated.
"Enough Geet!!"
He pierced his eyes in her as they were breathing heavily.Maan could sense the tears building in her.He decided to soften a bit.
"Why did you do this to me Maan!Why!" her eyes were moist,"Kyun kiya aisa?" her voice was choked.
"Geet!" He cupped her face in his hands,"Look into my eyes!I can never do any such things with you!I really love you!I am not cheating you!"
"Your eyes are deceiving!I have checked all the facts of the will!All are true!!You have used me!" she said,her voice revealing her pain, as she moved his hands away from her face.
"Fine!It's true that I wanted to marry you only to become the owner of KC!It was supposed to be an arranged marriage decided when we were children.So that meant only one comversation with you before the marriage & that's it!.You become my wife & I get KC.Simple plan!.All was going well until you peeped into my laptop & came to know that I was a casanova & that changed everything!The way you behaved the next day,I somewhere feared that you would refuse to marry me!And I couldn't afford to let that happen!So plan change!I had to spend time with you to build your trust on me which irked Dad as he didn't know I was a casanova & you had discovered that!As days passed by I don't know how!!when!!!where!!! you started to make a special place in my heart.I was heavily attracted towards you!All of a sudden I didn't care about anything except you which was surely not a part of my plan!!!I ignored every feeling towards you as my mind was not ready to take in the fact that I could love you!!And then!!one day you disappeared informing no one.. "he paused as he remembered the heavy turmoil he had faced that day.Geet's eyes were gaping at him,completely blank except her ears which could hear him speak."I searched for you everywhere,even took help from the police.When Inspector Arjun informed me about your accident then I.." Maan couldn't complete his sentance.Geet shivered as Maan pulled her towards him,wounding her with his eyes.He held her tightly.She winced in pain.His voice was heavy as he continued,"Is it my fault that you captivated me in your elegance?Is it my fault that you didn't let my plans succeed?Is it my fault that I fell in love with you madly???Teel me Geet!!!!" he shook her.She gave a shudder.Her tears clinged to her cheeks as she saw his eyes filled with anger & anguish.She was breathing heavily as he still held her tightly.
"If you can burn your brother's factory for KC,then you can do anything!!!!"
"I did not burn Dev's factory!!!" he glared at her.
"So did he burn his own factory??"she asked sarcastically.
Maan was startled.His grip around her began to loosen.Geet grew cocscious of her questinn..
She began to free herself from his hold,giving him a stolid look.He was shocked seeing that.She distanced herself from him.Her eyes were still moist but tears refused to flow as he stared at her.
"Even if I want to believe you,I cannot as all the facts are against you!!I can never trust my heart again!!" she said in a broken voice.
She was about to go from there when Maan stopped her clutched her wrist from behind.She stood there as he came close to her.She felt his breath on his shoulder.He brushed aside her hair which were covering her ears.He smelled her passionately as his beard grazed her shoulder.She felt a tickling sensation within letting her know his touch had the same effect on her.Ultimately he bit her ear-lob which again made her heart skip a bit.She was irritated with her self for responding to him as he wanted her to
"Tum mujhe chodkar nahi jaa sakti!!!I am a possessive lover Geet!I will not let you go!!!You are mine!!!!You eyes contradict your actions!!"
He turned her around to face him.Her heart beated fast as she saw him smirk with confidence.He roughly trailed his fingers from her forehead to her chin.
"Even though you are angry,you still love me!!"
She ruefully freed herself from his clutch.She went away giving him a glare!!...
"Whatever is happening should not have happened..." murmered the one who had heard their conversation from outside the room.With remorse filled in the eyes,the steps of the over-hearer retraced back to the party hall...
Precap:Cottage in a jungle.
