At first glance at her,he was startled.And the very next moment,he was extremely awestruck by her to the extent that his lips parted slightly while his eyes just gaped at her.His senses went numb with his mind refusing to function as he saw that drops of rain showers had taken the form of delicate transparent beads & rested themselves upon her eyelids,giving her an angelic look which dazzled him to infinity.As she blinked,her eyes sparkled like stars which made her look all the more alluring...He felt himself lost in her & he made no attempt to recover himself back...
There was silence.Geet didn't know what suddenly had happened to him.He looked like a statue gazing at her.She bagan to walk across the hall to the table where the candle was kept.Maan unconsciously walked with her with his eyes staring at her all the while while his ears rejoiced to the sound of her anklets. As they neared the candle,it's glow made her look all the more mesmerizing.His eyes for the first time ever lingered over her quintessential feminine features.Her hair tied in a braid with two strands of har falling on either side of her face.Her rosy cheeks & perfectly shaped lips, everything about her began to tamper with his heart.He saw a tinge of consiousness in her glistening eyes which was apparent when she looked away from him every now & then...He felt incarcerated by her extreme beauty & elegance that he gazed at her for a very long time than he should have...
Geet once again looked at him but this time she felt his eyes wouldn't permit her to look away. He sparked an unusual curiosity in her. For the first time ever,she saw that his eyes were not glaring or looking stolidly at her,but there was sonething else reflecting in his eyes which gave her jitters.
Maan handed over a towel to her.She looked away from him,conveying her refusal to accept it.But he still held it before her.
"Take it & wipe yourself."
"I don't need it." she sad in a low voice.
"You need it."
"Even you are wet--"
"Take it!."
Saying that he thrust the towel on her.She took it & began wiping her arms.He was staring at her which made her feel uneasy.Is this the same girl who had bumped into him that night?,he thought.Had he been blind to not have noticed just how beautiful she is as she claimed to be?.
As Geet was about to wipe away the drops of water from her eye lashes,all of a sudden,without any prior intimation ,Maan stopped her,clutching her hand through the towel which made her already abnormal breaths halt.
"Don't!!Don't rub your eyes!! The water will fade away by itself!!!"
He said with such an imploring tone that she did as he told.He was partly back to his senses as he said that.Maan realized that it was high time that he ought to blink his eyes after,what seemed to him,a very long interval.
He turned away & stroded across the hall towards the sofa.Geet followed him with the corner of her eye in anticipation of the events which were lined up for the next moment.And she was not at all displeased.She saw him taking off his wet black vest.After all,he was the one to get more of the rain showers.Then his hands reached to his collars pulling off the tie.Geet's hands clutched to the towel tightly as she saw him doing that.She found it no difficult to stop her breaths & witness his fingers unbuttoning the first two buttons of his white shirt.Drops of water trickled down his temple through the hair which rested on his forehead,making her heart-beats run extremely wild as she discovered just how intoxicating & irresistable he was ! Her nails had dugged deep in the towel as she saw his well toned arms & body to which his shirt stuck to.She resolved that women had every reasons to utter pleasurable moans while hyperventilating whenever they saw him.Geet's eyes swept over the manly proportions & extremely handsome face of his with a true feminine appreciation.
She did not realize that the candle was melting away speedily & that her hand rested very close to it.She was dazed by him.Had he been close enough.he could hear her heart skip every moment with his each movement...
Her hand moved slightly & as expected,her fingers came in contact with the fire from the candle.She was alarmed to feel a burning sensation on her hand..
"Ahhh...Ouch!!!!!!!" she gave a startled screech.
Maan immediately turned to look at her.Seeing her wincing while holding her hand,he was shocked.He pranced across to her & took her hand into his & saw that her fingers had turned red.Seeing the diminished candle,he came to know what the matter was.
"Geet,kya kiya tumne!!Wsit a sec,I am bringling ice cubes!!!" he rushed & at once brought ice cubes from the fridge.
"No I am--"
He did not wait for her say but began to apply ice on her hand while holding it carefully.Her heart grew still as she felt the feel of his fingers over hers.She even forgot that she had burnt her hand a few seconds back as her eyes again indulged itselt into staring at him while he saw to it that everything was all right.Geet couldn't decide whether the ice was colder than her breaths or not.She unconsiously was about to clutch his hand when his voice broke her trance.
"Ab thik hai?"
She immediately withdrew her hand & nodded gazing at the floor,realizing what she was just about to do..The candle had melted away fully & once more it was dark.Her heart was still beating fast & she could hear them more clearly then.The feel of her soft hands refused to leave Maan...
The rains stopped almost dramatically subsiding the feelings & incidents it had brought with it.The aura which had been there had vanished.The pitter-patter sound had immediately subsided making the surroundings embrace serenity in darkness,as the electricity chose not to return.Both of them continued to consider silence by not speaking a word.Geet was experiencing a tide of unknown feelings & emotions which ran within her making her heart surrender to restlessness. Uneasiness swept across her entire body.Her mind refused to take in anything except the thought that she had to get out of that place as soon as possible.Not wasting any more time, she voiced her say firmly,
"I have to return to PG."
There was a moment's pause as he heard her.For the first time she had uttered something properly since they had arrived there. "And who will do the presentation?We have not yet done anything."
"I will do the blueprint all by myself."
That was something which Maan hadn't seen coming from her.But seeing her firmness,he knew she meant it,"Do you even know what you are saying?I cannot hand over such an important work to you.Besides your hand-"
"Nothing has happened to me!!" she interrupted him,"And you don't have any other choice except letting me do the blueprint alone.There are no lights here & only I know in full what is to be done,given your explanations earlier & my notes.And-" she looked away from him & then continued,"and I have to be there in the PG before Sasha & Pinky wake up in the morning."
Maan was cross hearing her last sentance,"This project a huge responsibility that you can't be relied alone with.I half expect you to complete anything on time!!!!!"
"You are left with no other option Sir." she repeated,"It impossible to do work here in such darkness.I am sure the blueprint will definitely be done by tomorrow morning." she was adamant.
"And if you are not successful in doing it?" he asked sharply.
"No chance!!" she said dryly.
He got up & walked towards her ,"Toh Think hai.Tomorrow morning sharp at 9,you have to be at Khurana Mansion to show me the blueprint. "
"Done."
"I will drop you to your PG." He said & walked outside taking her 'yes' for granted.
Though the roads had not recovered from what the rains had done to them,Geet luckily was able to reach the PG.She got out of the car & headed straight inside the gates.She made very sure that she doesn't turn around & look at Maan. He saw her walk away with quick steps.His mind pondered over what had happened to him in the farmhouse as he told the driver to drive to Khurana Mansion...
~*~
Geet saw that Pinky & Sasha were asleep.She had told them not to wait for her as she might be late.She rinsed her face once she entered her room.She felt a little better but her mind failed to get rid of whatever had happened.She wanted to reason out what was wrong with her but she couldn't do as as she saw the unfinished blueprint in front of her...
Precap: "I love you Geet..."😆😆
He proposes,she disposes😆
