"A slap? She dared to slap me?" (he punches the wall running his fingers through his hair frustratingly) "Me...slapped me!" (he takes a deep breath...) "She is pregnant with my kid...I can't do anything to harm her...how can I hurt something that I own?" (he smirks..someone knocks on his door...Maan composes himself as he pretends to look through some files)
"Sir"
Maan: Don't stand there like a statue...tell me the news Adi (he says without looking up for once...)
Adi: woh uhh they said no...
Maan closes his file with anger throwing it on the floor..his personal assistant, Adi, moves back in fear unable to look straight at him. Adi knew his anger, after all he has been his assistant ever since he took charge of the whole company.
He had noticed the hole in the wall but as usual he ignored it..no one dared to ask him questions, not even him. Maan walked around his desk holding a paper weight..he leans against the desk looking at him as he casually played catch with himself with the paper weight.
"So they said no..."
Adi (kept his eyes on the floor): Yes sir they said that...(he stops and ducks when he heard something broken...Adi looks up to see the glass entrance door to his office completely broken..he looks at Maan who just leaned against the desk as if nothing happened)
Maan: Go on before I decide to kill you
Adi: They said that Dadima has more power and will not go against her wishes
Maan (laughs out loud all the employees look at him with worry..he stops and bangs the table with anger looking at Geet's picture frame on his desk...everything and everyone was quiet waiting for Maan..he just kept looking at Geet's picture..closing his fists to control his anger..) my own grandmother wants to stop me from meeting my wife? (he laughs again) Well lets see about that...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone surrounded Geet as they fed her lovingly everyone was near her, everyone that cared for her were with her except for one person. After she had slapped him, she nor any of the family members saw him not that they cared.
She wanted that person in front of her to remind her how much she hated him..how he ruined her life, how he almost killed her kid..that is right..her kid...Maan will never be able to come close to his own kid...she will not allow her kid to turn out like him...
Meera: Geet we will leave from here...we will make sure that he doesn't harm you or the baby (Geet just looks at her although she was back from her shocked state something inside her felt empty as if something has died...)
Mohindar: Meera is right beta we will go far away from here ..now with the restraining order he cannot harm you at all and as for the baby we will get a protection making sure he never sees the baby at all (Yash nodes his head)
Dadima (stands up) Am sorry, you can call me selfish or what have you, but Geet will not be going anywhere. (All looks at her shocked unable to understand what is going on...Dadima puts her hand on Geet's shoulder)
Yash: What are you saying ma'am..you are the one that wanted to protect Geet making sure that Maan is far away from her as possible
Dadima: Yes, I know but at the same time I can't see her parting away from me. She and the baby are my only hope to turn Maan around.
Mohindar: Are you saying you are going to use my daughter for that beast even after knowing what he has done and what he is capable of?
Dadima: He is what he is because of my so called son. He is to blame for turning Maan like this. From the very young age he trained Maan on how to be a "perfect" king, how to rule people, how emotions make one weak but one thing my son failed to see was how much he was ruining his own son.
I know what I have done and said to Maan..but I did it ONLY with what little hope I had left...and that hope is Geet...Whether he likes to believe it or not I have seen it in his eyes...I have seen the love he has for Geet but just doesn't know how to show it
Mohindar: Love? What love? He doesn't even know how to talk to people properly and you are saying he is in love with Geet?
Meera: Am sorry ma'am but you are wrong...a person like him cannot fall in love let alone show it. He doesn't love Geet...if he ever did then he would've seen the pain in her eyes, the mental and physical trauma he put her through and if he truly had loved her then he should be more then happy to let Geet go.
Yash: We are taking Geet back...am sorry for being rude and all but thank you for all your help
Dadima: Why don't you understand this might be the only way to change him
Meera (helps Geet stand up...) Lets go Geet...(Geet puts her hand on top of Meera's hand slowly bringing them down)
Geet: I am not going...(she looks at Dadima) I only came back for Dadima and I will not leave her alone in this house even if it costs me my life.
Mohindar: but
Geet: I have already decided..it is time that I start making decisions for myself...I will not leave Dadima...(she starts to walk away upstairs...)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time Maan came home from office all the doors were closed as he had expected. He was already notified that his bags and everything else were transfer to the outhouse where he is to live now all alone. Maan didn't care...the only thing he cared about was Geet and his kid...
He smirks as he makes his way to the outhouse...he stops in between, he felt weird, he could feel her eyes watching his moves, he looks up at the window that led to their bedroom..he saw her standing there looking down at him...he winks before going to the outhouse...
"nothing will stop me from seeing you Geet...not even some useless government paper"
