Shackles of Love#31#MG Chapter 69-72 - Page 64

CHAPTER 71:

Maan watched from behind the door, as Geet picked up the CD, the letter and the single red rose he had kept on the table and a dazzling smile lit up her entire face.

There were no words written on it, but she knew it was from him. He watched as she kissed the rose bud, his mouth twisting in jealousy, now regretting that he had given in to the impulse and got it for her. He glared at the offending flower, for having been the recipient of that adoration which he so desired.

"Don't worry Maan," he consoled himself soothingly, "After she hears the CD, she will come running into your arms."

Unknown to him, there were three women peeping from the sidelines, one rubbing hands in glee, the other having a suffering expression while the third bordering on panic in case her boss realized that she had helped Annie.

===

Geet was stunned speechless on receiving the courier, she had never imagined, Maan would do something so cheesy. Not even in her wildest dreams. She caressed the letter, which was still closed, absorbing the moment, wanting to capture it forever.

She opened it and saw that there were instructions on the outer side to start the cd before she started reading the letter, and play the NEXT song after each paragraph. Rambling over to the stereo, she put on the cd and sat down with her heart beats nearly hammering her ears as she opened the letter to see what was in it.

And what happened was really out of her wildest imaginations.

THE LETTER

(Imagine the songs play after the descriptive line)

My dear and sexy wifey,

(Her eyes popped out at that word, cheeks turning red, vying for anger and shyness at his blatant shamelessness,)

The first time that I saw you sitting beside me dressed as my bride, in spite of all my attempts to ignore you, I could hear this song playing in my head. I was lost and I knew it.

"Chikni kamar pe teri

Mera dil fisal gaya..

Hai..

Hey chikni kamar pe teri

Mera dil fisal gaya..

Strongly yeh jadoo tera

Mujhpe chal gaya"

On holi, when I saw you dressed up in that saree you seemed to be the embodiment of all my fantasies come to life.

Ooh la la…

Ooh la la…

Ooh la la…

Ooh la la…

Tu hai meri fantasy..

What my heart feels for you

Honth Rasile Tere Honth Rasile

Hothh Rasile Tere Honth Rasile

Dil Kehta Hai Mera Yeh Ras Pe Le

Hothh Rasile Tere

And when you left me, I felt like my whole world had fallen apart.

oo Meri Jaan, O Meri Jaan

Mere Ko Majnu Bana Kar

Kahan Chaldi Kahan Chaldi

Pyaar Ki Pungi Bajakar

What I now want from you…

Mere photo ko mere photo ko seene se yaar

Chipka le saiyan Fevicol se

Fevicol se fevicol se

Main toh kab se...

Haaye main toh kab se hoon ready taiyar

Pata le saiyan miss call se

Mujhe to teri lat lag gayi, lag gayi

Zamaana kahe lat yeh ghalat lag gayi

Zamaana kahe lat yeh ghalat lag gayi

Mujhe toh teri aa aah aa aa yeh

Will you accept my proporsal?

Hey Babyy Je Le De Is Pal Ko

Hey Babyy Kal Ki Sochenge Kal Ko

Hey Babyy Je Le De Is Pal Ko

Hey Babyy Kal Ki Sochenge Kal Ko

After each song which played, Geet's temper and Maan's dismay rose exponentially. After listening to the last song, Geet angrily tore the letter in her hand clenching the pieces and glaring angrily at the flower lying beside her.

More than angry, she was hurt. Once again Maan had played with her feelings, and this time she was not forgiving him.

Maan who was rooted to the spot on hearing the CD finally overcame his numbness and was about run to Geet while trying to assimilate what he had just witnessed, when he heard sniggers coming from behind him. He turned back to find Annie and Naintara laughing and hifi-ing each other and he instantly guessed what had happened. He cursed himself for listening to Annie and giving her the chance to mess things up. He glared at them angrily making Annie hum….

Dreamum wake upum critical conditionum

Earthum quakepum hil dool sab shake upum

He was in quandary whether to throttle Annie or go after Geet, in the end Geet won and throwing one last deadly 'I won't spare you' glare, Maan ran after Geet.

He found her in the kitchen, banging utensils under guise of trying to cook something. He approached her cautiously, trying to measure up her mood.

"Geet..." he called out tentatively only to find the pan which had been in her hand flying towards his head. He ducked just in the nick of time, yelling "Geet! Listen to me dammit..." but Geet was too angry and he was showered with whatever came to her hand.

First came the pan, followed closely by a plate, a cup, a spoon.

She wildly looked around for more and found the vessel containing the pasta she had prepared. Grabbing it, she threw it with all her might. Maan was ducking her missiles quite successfully, however when she threw the pasta, it splattered all over the place, showering Maan with its gooey mess.

Finally when she ran out of stuff, and was searching for something else, Maan grabbed his opportunity and ran to her and clasped both her hands, while she struggled to free herself.

"Geet ye kya kar rahi ho?" Maan tried to hold her back, but she was nowhere to listening, "Mai? Mai kya kar rahi hu? Kar to aap rahe hai!"

"Geet please, tum jaisa soch rahi ho waisa kuch nahi hai….just listen to me...!"

"Why?" She screamed, "Why should I listen to you? So that you can make a fool of me once again? Mere emotions ke saath khel kar aapko mazaa aata hai na? aaj tak yehi to aap karte aaye hai! blowing hot and cold." She accused. The tears brimming over pierced his heart, and he burnt in guilt knowing that was true. He had made a mess of their relationship, and now when he wanted to mend fences his two sisters were hell bent to play Cinderella's evil sisters incarnations!

However right now, his priority was Geet and he couldn't afford to wallow in self recriminations. He pulled Geet against him and tried cupping her face, and talking to her calmly. However Geet was in no mood to listen.

Her emotions were brimming over and it felt like fate had cheated her one time too many.

She pulled his hands away and pierced his eyes with her own pain filled orbs, "Ye sab aapke lie ek khel hoga! Aur Geet ka kya hai? Jaise apka mann kiya, aapne mujhe treat kiya! Mai hi pagal thi! Jo aapke mazaak ko sach samajh baithi…"

"Geet…." Maan whispered, "Pleaseee….."

"Just go!" She screamed, "Leave me alone…" she cried as she fell down on the floor and wept with her hands covering her eyes. Maan kneeled down beside her, truly worried, he had never seen her break down like this, not even when he had been at his beastliest. But today it seemed like a storm had broken and it was going to sweep away everything in its destructive wake.

He tried to take her in his arms, but she pushed him away, "Maine kaha na…..just go from here. Aap jaisa insaan kabhi nahi badal sakta. I was wrong to think you could. You don't have a heart, agar hota to aapko doosro ki feelings ki kadar hoti. Par aapko sirf apne aap se matlab hai! Aapke profit se…"

Maan stilled at her words, they felt like acid splashed over his face..

"Agar aap chahte the mai wapas aao, to keh dete na….ye sab natak karne ki kya zaroorat thi?"

The small moments of togetherness flashed in her mind, memories she had savored as sweet and pure now felt tainted to her.

She looked at him painfully, "Or is it all just physical?" she asked horrified.

Maan paled at her accusations, his ego once more coming to fore. After all that they had been through, THIS was what Geet thought him capable of?

He got up and his feet automatically walked away from her, his eyes locked with hers, anger visible in every line of his stance but his eyes still pleading with her to stop him. But Geet turned away not able to look into those lying eyes, "Chale jaayiye. I don't want to see your face ever again."

Maan walked away, hurt pride almost but not quite overshadowed by anger. He had done so many things totally out of character and all he had got in return was accusations, without even a fair hearing.

As he stepped out of the kitchen, Annie and Naintara stood there, guilt ridden.

"Thanks for everything Annie. I am sure this was all your master plan. Haina? I hope you enjoyed your prank."

Annie ventured, "Veerji…"

But he backed away raising his finger to mum her, and walked away.
