Chapter 3-The Lying Angel
Flashback
Can u stand up??
she tried to stand up bt failed.
maan held her shoulder & lifted her with ease just as a mother lifts her baby from crib & he then made her stand.
can u walk ? he asked softly.
yes.
ok, lets go to infirmary, shall we..
she nodded, maan held her one hand for support & took her in infirmary.
****
Maan helped her to sit on the bed & bent down to examine her twisted ankle.
Then he stood up,can u tell me where the first aid box is? he asked gently.
Geet meekly & pointed the place,still not daring to speak,she was waiting for him to blast on her for assuming him as a student.
He applied the gel on her ankle & massaged slowly.
Is it paining?
N..n..na..nahi.
Hmm, which class are u in?
C..class...class VIII
O ho..u are a big BRAVE girl now.U can handle a little pain..now, can't u. He was actually trying to distract her,so that he can give her ankle the twist it needed..& he knew it will pain!!
What's ur name?
G..G..Geet.
Geet , hmm,nice name.I am Maan
W..wo..wo..
Hmmm,i am listening geet.
I...i..i..am sorry.
Sorry? for what?
Wo i thought u as a student na..
It's ok,u didn't say it intentionally,did u?
she nodded her head...so u will not punish me Sir?
No.Don't worry.I am not a monster. He said chuckling.
She smiled.
So tell me about ur school,he said..still massaging her ankle.
Geet started to tell about her school excitedly
& that's moment maan twisted her ankle to get rid of that twist.
She screamed in pain as maan again started to massage it.
U lied,she cried
U lied that u will not punish me. She cried more .
Geet..geet..i did not punish u. I treated ur twisted ankle,see it's all better.
She looked at him incredulously . He prompted her to stand...come on ..try to stand.
If i fall?
THEN I WILL HOLD U.
She slowly stepped down the bed.
It didn't pain anymore. She smiled broadly looking at maan still tears in Her eyes.
Maan stood with cross armed with an amusing smile, bt then his smile vanished.
Are why i didn't noticed it first.
He made geet sit & looked here & there. Then he almost ran to a certain direction & came back with a towel, & shoved the towel on her hand.
She looked at him blankly.
Wipe ur head, he ordered
She started to dab the towel on her head.
Maan looked at her as if she was an alien..
UFF!! aise to u will soon catch cold.Mujhe do..
she again looked at him blankly.
Aise kya dekh rahi ho , Towel mujhe do!
H..Ha, she gave the towel on his hand.
He took it & started to rub her head vigorously to get rid of the wetness of her scalp quickly.
Then he checked her temple.
Are, tumhe to abhi se hi thoda bukhar chad gaya. Ek kam karo,u lie down here, &...
he took out a paracetamol out of the first aid kit,
agar bukhar zyada ho jaye to take it ,ok?
Y..Yes.
The school bell rang indicating the starting of the first class . Ok..see u then.
He patted her head affectionately & turned towards the door.
W..wo..SIR..she called out.
Hmm,he turned back.
She lowered her head
I..I...I am sorry for thinking u as a student.
I told u it's ok, now take rest. he turned to the door.
SIR!
bolo geet.
U will not punish me na..
He sighed ..I promise geet, i will not punish u. He again turned to go.
W..W.. wo SIR
kya hai geet..he said defeatedly.
wo ..wo...meri class, principle...teacher...she couldn't form a word, out of shyness for her stupidity & also overwhelmed Maan's kindness.
It was her first time to experience the kindness of an elder other than the principle & pinki's parents.
BT maan understood her meaningless words & smiled.
Don't worry , i will tell the principle that u have a fever & thus taking rest,noone will scold u...ok..now TAKE REST.
he again turned to the door .
Wo SIR!.
Ab kya hai geet!!
wo..wo...wo..g..g..Good ..H..Ha..Have a Good day Sir, she said meekly bending her head down.
Maan Smiled Good day geet, now rest , i am getting late for my class.
He finally got out of the room...
smiling & thinking...Strange girl! Bt she is very sweet.
Present
So,that is what happened.
Yes, she told rohan still dazed,overwhelmed with maan's kindness.
Rohan did notice it.
Geet stay away from him
Why, he is so kind na.
No, he can be a pervert,kind people like that rarely exist & he may portray himself like that to get u.
BT..U are also sooo kind to me na.
Rohan blushed,bt maintained a stern face
Geet, pls understand, most of the time persons like this have bad intentions.
Like what? geet asked innocently.
Rohan sighed, U don't need to know that.
Bt he is our class teacher na. i can i avoid him?
Ok, u don't have to stay away like that, just tell me if he tries to touch u in wrong way.
ok.
****
Geet's mother was called to the school to take her home.
Her mother came & after talking with principle she took geet home.
All the way geet was very dreadful thinking of her mother's reaction when they reach home. Her mother was silent during the whole ride.
Her mother opened the door of the house & shoving her in locked the door behind.
WHAT THE HELL DO U WANT HUH!! KYA CHAHTI HAI TU??
Mamma, i..
CHUP!! She slapped geet hard . The force was so much that geet fell down. TUJHE SCHOOL ME JANE DENA HI CHAHIYE THA,LEKIN MUJHE KYA PATA THA KI TU SCHOOL ME JAKE SABKO YAHI JATAYEGI KE I DON"T TAKE CARE OF U! THAT I AM A BAD MOTHER!
mamma aisa nahi hai, kisiko maine kuch nahi kaha.
Ha..Tu to yahi bolegi..YAHI TO TERA PLAN HAI.BIMAR PADKE SABKE SAMNE MUJHE NICHA DEKHANA.TAKI SAB MUJHE KOSE,MUJHE DOSH DE.She slapped her again.
mamma, aisa kuch nahi hai, koi app ko na dosh dega. Mere hi laparwah hoke barish me bhigne ki wajah se mujhe thand lagi. Sab meri galti hai.
HA.SAB TERI GALTI HAI. SIRF TERI. AGAR TU NAHI HOTI TO MAIN MERE PATI AUR MERA BETA KHUSH HOTE. MANHUZ KAHIKI...AJ AGAR TU NA HOTI TO MAIN KHUSH HOTI, she said continuously slapping her haphazardly.
SAB TERI GALTI HAI , SAB TERI GALTI HAI, TERI GALTI.TERI GALTI...
Geet tried to protect herself by crossing her hand infront of her face
