Part 2
Geet still couldn't understand why her parents were insisting on her to come to Delhi for her birthday. She did not liked the fact that she can't celebrate her birthday with her college friends.
Geet did not know anything about her marriage and neither she knew that in a week her life was gonna change forever!!
Geet's mother, Rano was always against of marrying Geet when she was just a kid, but she couldn't say anything in front of her husband.
So Rano has decided that she would not tell anything to Geet about her childhood marriage as long as she can. She didnot want that the news had any adverse effect on Geet's mind. She knew that her daughter's fate has already been decided, but at least she can give her a carefree life for as long as she can!! That much she owed to her daughter.
So she has brought up Geet with extra love and affection.
When Geet reaches home in Delhi, she has been greeted very nicely even by her father!! That was something unusual!!!
Mohinder had never had a caring relation with his daughter. He had always wanted a son instead of Geet. So he was never able to love Geet from his heart. And Geet was always scared of him like hell!!!
In the evening, Geet had made plans to go out as Ronit was coming to Delhi too for Geet's birthday. So she was going out to meet him!!
Ronit was Geet's best friend cum boyfriend. She has known him from fifth grade and they had started dating in college under friends' pressure. All their friends have continuously nagged them about how they were perfect for each other and should date.
So they had thought of giving it a shot!!!
But there was more of friendship and mutual understanding between them than love!! Their relationship was just in the initial stage of dating and haven't reached the physical stage yet..
Geet's parents were unaware of Geet being dating Ronit, as she knew they won't approve.
So Geet made an excuse at home and Rano also let her go thinking how less time she really has to enjoy her carefree life.
Geet was meeting Ronit at xyz disco...
When she reaches there, she looked around for Ronit but he was nowhere to be seen...
So she calls him and he tells her that he is stuck in the traffic and will be there in 15-20 minutes.
Geet went to the bar and sits and orders a drink for herself. She starts looking around casually.
Suddenly she felt a pair of eyes watching her from a nearby seat.
She looks towards him and saw a guy in almost his mid twenties looking at her.
The guy was unreasonably good looking. He has fair complexion... big brown deep eyes with long eyelashes... sharp nose... tight jaw... perfect M shaped red lips... and a stubble that was giving him a macho look...
But there was something in his expressions that was making Geet a bit uncomfortable... He looked like he was in a trance!! As she looked into his eyes, she felt a strange sensation in her... In a moment, she felt like she is drowning in his eyes... But then she come back to her senses...
She looks away thinking he's some cheap drunk loser who has probably never seen a girl in his life!!
"Hi!" she heard the guy say and she looks at him as he continued while taking out his hand towards Geet "Maan Singh Khurana!!"
10 Minutes Earlier:
Maan has come to disco to pick up his cousin Vicky as Vicky's car has broken down...
When Maan reached there, he tried calling Vicky, but his phone was out of reach.
Maan went inside and looked around for Vicky, but he couldn't see him anywhere.
And suddenly his eyes fell on a girl sitting at the bar, and his heart skipped a beat.
The girl was very pretty... He has never seen a girl more beautiful than her in his whole life!!
Her milky white skin, her long silky hair, her beautiful big hazel brown eyes, her cute little nose, her chubby cheeks, her pink luscious lips...everything was pulling him towards her!!!
The face was standing out in the crowded disco...
It felt like they were the only two people over there and the rest of the world did not existed!!!
He started walking towards her absentmindedly...
He sat near her and keep on looking at her while drinking her beauty with his eyes!!!
And suddenly, he felt her stiffening a slightest...like she could feel his eyes on her...like there was some invisible thread between them that was making them aware of each other's presence.
And then, she looks at him from under those beautiful big eyelashes of hers. Their eyes met, and Maan felt that the time stopped in that moment!!!
But then she looked away... Maan couldn't bear her looking away from him and he said to get her attention...
"Hi!" and he offered his hand in a hope of getting a touch of her hand, "Maan Singh Khurana!!"
Geet looks at him from top to bottom and then at his hand offered towards her and looks away...
Maan felt anger at her behaviour!! For the first time in his life he is asking a girl, and she is showing him attitude!!!
He holds her arm and twirls her back to face him in a jerk!!
He said through gritted teeth "Who the hell do you think you are??!!" his nails digging into her skin...
Geet tries to push him away and said "Get off of me, you douche!!"
Maan comes back to his senses and realises what he's doing??!! For the first time in his life, he's been misbehaving with a girl!!! He is not like this!!! He has never hurted a girl physically ever in his life!!! So what happened today??? Why has he lost control over his anger??!! So what if she doesn't want to talk to him??!! After all, she doesn't even know him!!!
He left her arm instantly and said feeling guilty "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!!"
Geet looks at her arm where he had held her and rubs her arm to soothe the pain and then back at him with accusing eyes!!
She said angrily "How dare you??!!"
Maan was still looking at her with guilty eyes and said while his hand started moving on it's own accord towards the bruise on her arm to soothe it "I'm really sorry Miss--?"
A guy holds Maan's hand as he was just about to touch Geet...
Maan looks at the intervener with cocked up eyebrows in a frown and saw a guy smirking at him with an attitude.
The guy answers in place of Geet "Ronit!"
Maan and Ronit glares at each other angrily while Geet looked at them a bit concerned...she doesn't know for whom though!!
"She's my girlfriend!" Ronit finishes with a proud smirk.
Maan's expressions changed instantly and he looked towards Geet surprised and a bit hurt!! He didn't know why he was surprised or hurt though!!
Geet looked at him and she saw accusation in his eyes... She felt a sudden sense of guilt. She doesn't know why she felt like this for a complete stranger??!! She doesn't even know him!! So why is she feeling bad for the hurt in his eyes??!! But then she pulled herself together and looked away while breaking their eye-lock...
That brought Maan back to his senses too and he looked at Ronit now who was still holding his hand...
Maan smirks at his stupidity. He knew he could take him down any day, any moment but he stopped himself because he knew he was wrong here!!!
He was the one who was trying to talk to someone else's girlfriend when he is married himself!! He has never done anything like this before!! Girls die to talk to Maan Singh Khurana but he had never given any girl a second glance whatsoever.
Maan heard the girl say "Ronit, leave him!! Lets go from here!!!"
And she pulls Ronit with her and goes out leaving Maan standing over there who was still looking at her retreating form...
Maan smiled bitterly at the thought that for the first time in life he felt something for a girl, and his destiny is that he doesn't even know her name... and he would never know her name!! He would never be able to see her again!! The very thought sent a pang in his heart!!
But he knew this was for the best!! He is married...he clenched his teeth angrily at the thought and the hatred for his wife multiplied by million folds in that very instant... and the girl is also someone else's girlfriend!! He felt his inner self burning as he remembered how she touched that guy!!! He banged the bar counter in anger and frustration on his helplessness!!!
Maan sat there for a long time trying to forget about that unknown girl, but all in vain. Her big hazel brown eyes were haunting him!!!
At last he managed to make himself leave. He goes out and calls Vicky, whom he has fully forgotten after looking at that girl. Vicky tells him that his friends gave him a ride and he's already home.
Maan gets into his car and drives towards home still trying to get rid of those beautiful hazel brown eyes.
While on his way home, he saw the same girl but she has been cornered by 4 guys by a tree.
Maan abruptly puts on the brakes and looks towards them with immense anger at the very thought of them touching her!!
The guys were slowly pacing nearer to the girl and the girl has a determined expression on her face.
He didn't stopped even for a second to think and went towards them like a tiger mad with anger...
He holds the collar of the first guy and punches him hard on his face and the guy faints on the spot.
And in mere seconds, all other three guys were also lying unconscious on the ground but he was still punching and kicking them like a mad man. He didn't know what had made him so angry!! He was just not in himself anymore!!!
After several minutes of kicking and punching of the unconscious guys, he stopped breathing heavily as he was out of energy!!!
He looked towards the girl who was looking at him with amused expression.
The anger vanished instantly as he saw her and the concern and worry replaced the anger.
He looks at her from top to bottom to see if she is hurt somewhere... and for the first time he saw her dress!!
She was wearing a very short strap-less white dress!! Her dress could make any guy develop bad intentions for her.
Maan takes off his coat and offers it to the girl and said "Pehen lo!"
Geet looks at him for a whole one moment and then rolls her eyes on him in indifference and starts walking away without any word.
Maan felt irritated at her behaviour and goes towards her and holds her hand and twirls her back roughly to face him.
"What's your problem? Hasn't anyone taught you that when someone helps you, you should say thank you to them?" he asked angrily.
He doesn't know why her indifferent behaviour bothered him. He didn't helped her for thank yous!! But he didn't liked her walking away from him like that!!
Geet looks at him indifferently and said "Did I asked for your help?"
Maan frowns at her question and leaves her hand...
Geet continues "I didn't needed your help. I am totally capable of helping myself!! Agar tum zabardasti hero ban-ne ki koshish karoge, then don't expect me to be thankful!! Main tum jaise ladkon ko achchi tarah se jaanti hoon... jahaan ladki dekhi, herogiri karni shuru kar dete ho!! But you know something?! I hate heros!! Now get lost!!!"
Maan looks at her angrily and goes back to his car fearing that if he kept on standing there he might do something rash...
He sits in his car and gives one last look to the girl angrily and saw that she was standing near her car with its bonnet open. And she was looking inside the engine with a confused expression on her face.
He could easily tell that her car has broken down and she doesn't know anything about the problem in the car.
It was very late and the whole road was empty. There was no one that she can ask help from except Maan. And the thought brought smile on his face...
And Maan was thinking right! Geet didn't know anything about the mechanical stuff of cars.
Her car has broken down in the middle of the road and she was trying to figure out what to do, when those bad guys had cornered her.
There was not even a single living soul on the road except for that guy! But she doesn't wanted to ask help from him. Something was pulling her towards him which she hated so she wanted to stay away from him!! And she has just told him few minutes ago that she didn't need his help, so how could she ask him now to help her?!! Her ego was too big to let her do that!!
She thought of calling home; but as she saw her mobile, she realised that her phone battery has died.
She cursed herself for talking to Ronit for hours without charging her phone...
She looks towards the guy...what did he told his name was? Yeah! Maan Singh Khurana!... She looks towards Maan who has come out of his car and was leaning on his car with his one leg resting on the door casually and looking at her with a taunting smile.
Geet makes a baby face and then says loudly to Maan "Oye! Hello!! Maan!!!"
Maan likes the fact that she remembers his name!! He doesn't say anything but picks one eyebrow at her questioningly.
"Tumhein gadi theek karni aati hai?" her ego was still visible in her voice.
"Of course!" he said casually but still didn't moved from there.
Geet challenges "Can you prove it?"
Maan smiles at her tactics and murmurs to himself "Madad to chahiye lekin akar beech mein aa rahi hai!!"
He stands straight and goes towards her and says "And why would I need to prove anything to you?"
Geet: Because I know you are lying!!
Maan(angrily) You can think whatever you want!! And if you need help, then ask it properly.
Geet makes a baby face and bites her lower lips.
When she didn't say anything for few moments, Maan turns to walk away when he heard her say "Please help me!!"
Maan looks back at her with a smirk.
He said "Much better!!" and started looking at the engine...
As he was looking into it, Geet peeked into it from top of his shoulder to see what he was doing. Maan felt her warm breaths fanning near his ear and he started loosing control over himself...
His breathing fastened instantly and his heart started beating erratically from her close proximity...
He closed his eyes to control himself but it was way too hard for him...
He looked at her from his shoulder and their eyes met...
They didn't know for how long they kept on looking into each other's eyes while drowning in them...
It was Geet who came to her senses first and gets back from him...
Maan looks back at the engine trying to control himself while Geet looked away to control the new-found emotions in her...
After few moments, Maan was able to control himself and he gets back into fixing the car.
After some minutes, he declared that its done.
Geet tries starting the car again and it starts.
Maan goes near her car's door and looks at her waiting for her to say something.
But Geet took out some money from her purse and offers it towards Maan "Here!!"
Maan frowns at her angrily and all his first thought about her went down the drain. He came to a conclusion that she is rude, arrogant, insolent and a spoilt brat.
"How dare you!!" he said angrily and with a swift movement, he took out the keys from her car, and the car stopped.
Geet looks at him angrily and comes out of the car and said "How dare you??!! Give me the keys back!!"
"First apologise and say thank you!!" he ordered.
"And what if I don't?" she said with the same tone.
"Well then you leave me with no other option!!"
And before Geet can say or do anything, he holds the back of her hair to lock her face at a place and planted a vigorous kiss on her mouth...
