maneet-ss strangely in love#2 pt16/17/18pg 95DEC23 - Page 31

After some time geet heared maans foot steps'

He entered the room n searched for his drink..he looked at his hands often which was shivering..he went to bar n saw there is no bottles..all are removed..he came back n opened his shelf,study n looked for the bottle madly..his hands started to shiver more..n his anger too took over him..he pushed all the things breaking into pieces n shouted in anger..

Kakaaa..

Nakul came running to the room..geet was silently watching him..

Ji beta..

Where is my drink bottles..i want now..

Nakul looked geet..by the time his friends n dadi too came there hearing his scream..

dadi:dr..said u must not drink..dont u remember..

maan:I don't want to hear anything..i want means I want..i cant be without it..he said looking at his shivering hands..

arjun:maan..u must not drink..

yash:r u mad maan..drs have strictly warned u..u must not take alcohol..

pratik: its affecting ur health..

maan:even if it affects my health..i want now..i want it..samji aaplog..

maan came to nakul..

kaka..where is the drinks..

nakul kept quiet looking at geet..maan knew now he has removed all..

he softened a little seeing dadi's worried face..

maan:dadi,pls tell them to give me drink..i cant live without it..dadi looked at him helplessly..she so much wanted to remove his pain..to recover from this habbit..its too late now..maan was asking politely first to everyone..then he shouted at all..

maan:y don't u all understand..i want it..i want it..i will die if I don't have it..this burdened heart will burst if I did not lose my sense..i want it..pls get me soon..i cant live without it'...cant u all look i m dying for drink my body is shivering...u people claim to love me na then how can u all see me like this...plz get me my drink or else i will do something which u all will be repenting..

all stood silent seeing this side of maan..as he has always had the drinks,he never get wild..but not getting the drink,he got mad..shouting on all pleading to give him ..dadi was continuosly crying seeing maan helpless 'arjun,yash n pratik stood by her side trying to console her..or her health will get worse..they were also standing worried looking at maan..

geet was silently watching his antics..his anger,frustration,pleading'she cant see him like this..something inside her broke seeing him like that..her heart felt bad for him..

maan:deepak..deepak..

maan called his another servant..

Deepak:go n get me drink soon..he gave money to him..

Deepak looked dadimaa who was having tears in her eyes seeing her grandson who is now fully addicted to drinks..she never thought her life will be in pain seeing him facing troubles daily..

Geet sighed..all are standing numb seeing maan..noone has the guts to go against him..nor get him what he wants..she thought she must interfere for his gud own'she can face his wrath..she cant stand quiet like all does..they all said not to drink'by love n care..but could not force the great msk..they feared him.they know he will never listen to others..wo apne man ka mallik hai..

.but geet never was into it..she is rock n she can face any thing now'.if he shouts or slaps or torture her she can face it..

Geet:Deepak,u go n do ur work..no need to get drink for him..

She turned to all..n u all can go n take rest..i promise..he wont drink from today..

All looked at her in astonishment..if some others were in her place maan would have shouted at them for taking decision against him..but its geet..everytime he sees her his guilt comes before him n makes him speechless..today too he was standing mute becoz of it'he want her to say don't promise..u will fail..i will get my drink anyhow..nothing matters to me..when he looked geet all his decision vanished..n again kept mum..

Dadi did not like it..an outsiders interference..but something in her made to believe geets words..all left maaneet alone..nakul was standing there..geet assured him through her eyes ,that she will look after maan'

Geet:kaka,bring food for maan sir..

Nakul..ji..

after all left geet started to clean the mess created by maan'

Maan:where is drinks..i know u only said kaka to take all na..

Geet:yes..i only removed all from here..I said na..u wont drink..

Maan:pls..dont make do things that u would regret..

Geet:go ahead.. there is nothing left in my life to regret..

Maan closed his eyes knowing the meaning of words..but now his need is more..he want his companion his moonshine..his drink..he cant even shout at geet..what if she brokes n did anything wrong like before..he cant think anything bad happening to geet

Maan in pleading voice..

Maan:pls give me moon..i cant live without the effect of drug..tum nehi jaanthi sirf nasha hi hai mujei sukoon desakthi hai..i want to sleep..only moonshine can give it..

Geet saw nakul standing with dinner for both

She placed his food before him...

Geet:first u have ur dinner..then lets talk about it later..

Maan:no..i don't want dinner..i want my drink..u have urs'

he was also stubborn..

geet:I wont eat till u have urs..she was also stubborn..she knew he cares for her n he will surely eat.

maan ,he cared for geet..how can he leave her to starve..n as drs advice she must eat well to gain the loss of blood..

he gave an accusing look for cornering him..she took a spoon full of the food n took near his mouth..he had it..it was very blunt..he made faces..

maan:now u too have it..

she took the food of his n took it..

maan:this is not urs..

geet:I cant eat tasty food making u look at me..im fine with this..waise..jeenekliye food zaroori hai..its blunt or tasty koi fark nehi partha..

geet fed him n ate also ..they both had it from same plate..(juta khane se pyaar badtha hai..haina)

nakul was looking at both..maan,who never goes with others words was silent before geet..he obeyed her words only to make her eat..n this girl..she is an enigma..i cant judge her..first she was mute n tried to end herself..then the closeness with maan,I thought her like other girls..now she is totally making him under her control..only to make maan not to drink.n sharing his blunt food...if she is like other girls she would not have thought about maans well being..she must be after maans money only..will not be caring for him..

geet gave his tablets..he took quietly..

nakul took the tray n went..

maan:ab tho dedo na..pls..

the great msk who never bent before others pleaded n begged before her to give him his drinks..when u r under the control of alcohol,it can do anything that the man cant do in his sense..

maan:pls..give me na..i..i..cant sleep without it..i want the drug to take off my sense to sleep..pls..pls moon..give me..where u have kept..he again searched all cupboards like a maniac..geet was shocked by his pagalpan..throwing all dresses out of cupboard..

maan:atleast one peg..pls..

geet was thinking once again that what she has decided..she will do it not for him..for his dadi n the thousands of family belonging on him..

geet came n sat next to him..

geet:sir,why cant u stop drinking..see how much ur friends n dadi n kaka are worried for u..

maan:moon,I know..but its my need..to forget myself..pls give na..

geet:ok..u need to forget urself..then take me..i was also ur need na..that night..n u said u want ur pay back..so take me for ur need'to forget that moonshine take me..

maan was shocked to hear those words..it pierced him..making his heart bleed for what he did..

maan:no..i won't ..i wont repeat it.its a great mistake of me..haan I said I want u as payback..but.i said that only to keep u safe..

maan literally spilled the truth that he said those words only to save her..n he started to say what is in his heart.

maan:I am already burning in guilt to snatch ur sanity'don't push me again.i cant look into ur eyes too..i am sorry for whatever I did to u..i cant correct that night..i am already burning in hell..i started drinking to forget my past..now I am drinking to forget that night..still ur freezed body n the blood in ur hands haunt me day n night..so,I drink more till I lose my sense..before girls became my prey to take my wrath out..never I thought u r pure..not like other girls..sry.sry for snatching ur innocence..i cant be forgiven for my sin..my sin is tortorturing me day n night..n only my drink can give me peace..pls moon give me my drink na..i want to drown myself in it..i want to lose my sense..i want to sleep..only drink can give me that..pls..tell Deepak to get me some drink if u don't..

geet never thought he is repenting for what he is not responsible..if she is the cause of pain..she will make sure he will come out of it..

geet:u think u raped me???????????

geet asked him out of blue,which made him stun..he did not..n he cant never force any girl..

geet:u did not force me that day ..u never did anything wrong to me..its me who sold myself to u..i was in such a position to do it..,if its not u may be I would have been with someone else'its true I tried to save my dignity..but a poor girl who was in need of money what can she do ..i gave u myself..n u gave me money..where did sin came here..if anyone should be blamed its fate..not u..got it ..u don't want to repent for anything that u have not done..

maan:I ..i..made u sleep with me..i cant forgive myself..i pushed u to end urself..

geet:wrong..I slept with u for the money..n u have nothing to do with my suicide attempt..its not becoz of u..

maan looked at her with little hope.to soothe his painful heart..to believe her words..he is not the reason behind it'

maan:.sachi..i am not reason for ur suicide..

geet:(firmly)..no..when I failed in my life,how can I blame u..u r not responsible for anything happened in life..ya,I did to end myself becoz I have no reason to live..i felt my life is burden..i am not worth living ..there must be any reason to live na ..i have nothing..so I tried to finish my life..

maan:..u made me out of my guilt..thank u..

geet: thanks ki zaroorat nehi hain..i said whats the truth..u have dadi,friends n business ..u must think about them..on ur every step sir..dont think about what u did to me..u never snatched my purity..it was my submission..

maan:teek hai..i wont think that I snatched ur innocence..moon,pls drink mangwalona..he was again asking her for drink'

he cant believe himself why he is asking permission from her..he would have moved out of his own will to any bar..but he is seeking permission..asking her to give him drink'not getting angry on her like he does with others..

geet:ji..why cant u forget drinking..

she sat close to him'it affected him..maan was controlling his inner desires'he may be in hell till now..repenting his mistake,but he always felt the temptation to get her near him n make her his again...which he always controlled..today it is more with geets nearness..her face close to his..her breathe fall on him..he moved a little trying to avoid the feel growing inside him..

maan:I will try..but from tomorrow..give me today..i will not drink from tomorrow..

geet smiled weekly..there is proverb sir..the drunken men will promise daily that they wont drink from next day..but will drink it daily..but I wont let u touch the drink even a drop..i ve promised ur dadi..n I will fulfil it at any cost..

maan was feeling helpless..he was now shivering very badly..geet can feel it too..

geet:u want that drug effect only to sleep na sir..

maan nodded yes..n that's the truth too..

geet:if u get the effect of drug u will sleep peacefully haina..

maan:ya..

geet:then take me..

maan shockingly:no moon..i said na..i wont..i wont..

geet:y sir..do u remember what u said that night..y u call me moonshine.. moonshine.the name of ur drug...u was affected with me..u felt me as a drug.that night the pleasure was more ,.which ur drug too cant give u'..so only u call me moonshine..today u will forget that moonshine bcoz this moon will give u that effect..that day I gave for one life..today I will give to save for the thousands of families dependent on u..

maan:no.moon..no..pls..i..

he was silenced with her kiss..she kept on kissing him till he give up to the desire n respond her..maan tried to shove her..today he was vulnerable comparing to her..slowly he lost in her kiss n forgot whatever he was thinking..he cant hold himself back ..he started to kiss her passionately..geet smiled at her victory..but her heart bleeded for taking this step..she is again in his bed giving pleasure..maan kissed her n was drowning in her beauty..this time it was different for him..geet was making him drown in passion whenver he thought to stop'she pulled him more to her 'n maan started to relax in her passion..both parted for air..

geet:u can love me..she said blankly..

maan:how much u try moon..i wont repeat it..

geet: u can forget ur drink by loving me ..u can get ur senseless sleep..take me..

maan: no ..no...never ...i'll happily die inspite of repeating that mistake...i accept i want ur presence to sleep and ur warmth has become my addiction more than my moonshine...iska matlab ye nehi i will near u to spend night with u..

both did not know the bond between them..why they cant see the pain of others..why they care for each other..why they can cross anything to keep the other happy'both were strangely in love with each other..but don't know it..or the circumstances they are in are not making them to feel their love..

maan:moon..never I will repeat my mistake..i don't want to be in guilt again'

geet was overwhelmed,atleast he is thinking about her now..when she is ready to save him..

geet:ok..i will make u sleep in my warmth..

she threaded his hair.making him lay on her lap..his hands went around her waist..he snuggled close to her like a kid..

she remembered how her mama use to sing lori for her..she started to sing the song..

Lori lori lori... (4)

maan s thought went back..his dadi too always sings song for him to make him sleep..

dadi,nakul n friends came to maans room hearing the sweet song..it was closed..the window was kept opened'n what they saw was heart wrenching..geet singing the lori..n maan listening to her lying on her laps..he was drowsy,as she massaged his head lovingly..he slowly slept hugging her '

dadi n others were happy seeing it'they came back to the room..

geet had tears in her eyes when he slept peacefully in her embrace..

today somehow I stopped u to have ur drink maan sir..tomorrow also u will not drink..ye mera wadha hai..i will not let u touch the drink till I am here..

nakul:dadi..

dadi:hmm

nakul:I think this girl is really gud..

dadi:hmm,,im also thinking that only..anjanemei,tumhari baath sunkar,meinei bi usei hurt kiya..but she did gud to us inspite of all..she has controlled maan..n first time he is sleeping without the effect of drink..ab mujei ehsaas horaha hai..she is not like we think..she is gud at heart..

arjun:u r right dadi...wo achi ladki hai..we were with her whole day..if she is like other girls who are after his money..maan would not have kept her with him..n we know maan hates girls presence..if he cares for a girl,then there must be something we don't know..the girl who we saw was mute n lost ..today she was caring for maan..n we knew maan..he wont here advices of others..he does what he thinks..today he did not say any word against her..

yash:iska matlab ye hain..maan is developing feelings towards her..isiliye wo geet ki bath maani..n she made him sleep without taking drink..she can make him out of depression..he will also bi normal man soon..

prateek:yes dadi..i also think she is perfect for maan..she too cares for him..so,y don't we get them married..

dadi:bus bus..we have to wait for sometime more..n I have one question..i agree she is gud n caring..but y she is staying with him..in same room..i want to get the answer of it..n I want to know about her n family..then only we can talk to maan..what he feels for the girl..if he said she is the girl he wants to marry..then I have no problem..mujei sirf maan ki kushi chahiye..
