HIS UNBREAKABLE VOW
PART 4
Her shivers were scaring him, he held her tightly till the time the shivers subsided, while he could feel her relaxing against him. Letting go of his mental trauma, he reached the hay with one of his hand and covered them both with the same. Pulling her closer than ever, he closed his eyes forgetting every detail of his life, except for the truth that; he has to save her. She started warming up soon, but he didn't let go of her scared that she might get worse. Contemplating his own worries, he drifted along with her to the world of unconsciousness as sleep took over him. Soon they were both sleeping peacefully in each others embrace, as Geet even in her unconscious yet subconscious state wrapped her arms around his waist finding relief in his warmth. The nature's assault decided to cease after a while, but failed in disturbing the 2 souls, who were somewhere in their own individual worlds too lost to think of what consciousness was bringing for them. Finally, the sun broke through the clouds, and peeped into the hut reflecting the brightness of a new morning. Feeling the warmth of the sun on herself, Geet slowly opened her eyes partially, followed by her nostrils flaring with the scent of the perfume coming off Maan's body. Snuggling more into him, she felt his skin touching her bare skin while she was too oblivious to learn the reality. Shaking the stupor off as a dream, she searched for her hands when she found them wrapped around Maan's waist securely. She snapped open her eyes, only see his bare skin. Worried, she looked upto to find his face inches away from hers. Panicked, she tried to get up but could hardly move, being in his strong steel grip. She looked down at herself, and to her shock she was bare while he was too and both were covered with heaps of way which were giving away now. Panic,nervousness, fear, shyness coursed through her body like crashing waves, flooding each corner of her body with uncontrollable emotions, while her heartbeats where untamed by now. Her mind was bombarded with questions, as to how she ended up in such a state, and the big question haunting her was how did he land up in such a state too.? Did he do it in consciousness, or was he clueless about it just like her.?? She tried moving out from his grip, when he just crushed her closer unconsciously, shocking her. After several attempts, she failed to get out of his grip and finally decided to wake him up. She looked around herself for her saree when she spotted it just behind him along with his blazer lying with it. She stretched her hands towards it, and managed to grab it while still in his grip. " Suniye.? " she called out to him slowly, not wanting to startle him but got no response. He indeed was having a peaceful sleep after a long time, ironically in her arms which he failed to realize yet.
" Maan.? " she tried again, to which he moved only a bit. She sighed, with the growing nervousness within her, while he was sleeping peacefully. After one or 2 more calls she finally managed to loosen his grip in her, and instantly grabbed her clothes and shot towards a corner before he wakes up to see her like that. All the while she was dressing up, her mind was just bothering her with one question, what happened which landed them in such a situation. She tried her best to recollect the events, but all she could remember was the heavy rain and her constant pain from the cut, after that she was all blank. Did they by any chance consummate their marriage was the thought bothering her the most, but she being a girl would know it by her inner cores if something like that would have happened. She was confident, Maan wouldn't do anything of that sort without her consent and majorly while she was lying unconscious, yet he is her husband even if he did come close to her; it was his right but all she was unable to understand was, why when she was unconscious, when he maintains a distance between them otherwise. Was there a different reason for all that all together.?? On one hand she was all lost in her questions, while on the other hand Maan was having the most peaceful sleep he had in months, and was finally woken by the sudden loss of her softness against his body. He opened his eyes, only to find the place next to him empty. He instantly got up, fished out his pants from the hay and wore them on. He looked around the hut to spot Geet, but he couldn't. Here Geet was totally in her own thoughts, oblivious to the fact that he was looking for her. Giving up, he decided to search for her in the hut. After searching every corner of it, he spotted the corner shielded with a piece of cloth and realized she might be behind that, but why wasn't she answering.? He marched towards and pulled aside the cloth , facing her back and to find her lost in some thoughts. He called out to her, jerking her out of her thought .
" Geet.! " he pulled on her, making her face him. She gaped at him, while he just waited for her to snap out of it. Receiving no response, he jerked her again.
" GEET.! " he said a bit loudly, shaking her by her shoulders and that's when she snapped out of it. Gathering herself up, she looked up to meet his angry eyes.
" Ji.? " she asked him innocently.
" What Ji.? I have been calling out to you so many times and you weren't responding.? What's happening.? " he asked her angrily.
" Actually I was thinking something and changing " she said, finally realizing she was still not dressed fully. She looked down on herself, widening her eyes and turned her back to him pushing him further. He was about to strike yet again, when he saw her half dressed state and realized why she turned away. Composing himself he looked away from her and decided to wait for her.
" You finish dressing up and come out, I am waiting." He said, and left after getting her nod. She clumsily wrapped the saree around herself and let the hut to find him waiting outside the hut all dressed up. Debating whether or not to ask him about last night, she walked towards him with his blazer tucked between her hands. She finally decided to ask about previous night, later once they get home and she didn't want to take any chances early morning.
" Your blazer " she spoke, as she reached him and held out her hand making him look behind . Surprised at her soft tone, he took his blazer and waited for her to speak further to know about last night, but to his utter shock she started walking ahead with a smile, while hr just stood there shocked. Why wasn't she asking him anything.? Did she misunderstand his care for something else, which is not true.? Before she could walk further, he held her wrist making her stop in her tracks. She looked back at him with a confused expression.
" Geet, why are you walking away like that.? " he asked politely. She was confused for a minute as to what he expects from her, later realizing that he might be referring to last night. What does he want her to say.?
"Aren't we getting late.? Daadi must be worried.? " she said, trying to avoid the topic till they reach home. It's not that she didn't have any questions, it's just that she was waiting for the right opportunity, but looks like he had some other plans.
" Geet, I am not talking about that, you know it. I am talking about last night, don't u want to know what happened.? You don't have questions.? " he asked super confused, at her calmness which was new to him.
" I don't remember anything from last night, how it all happened and how we came clo.. " she trailed off, leaving the rest for him to understand. He immediately left her hand, confronting his worse fears. Did she by any chance think they came close physically last night.? How can she ,was the thought bothering him but being a girl that will be the first thought to cross anyone's mind.! . She felt her efforts going down the drain as soon as he left her hand. She looked into his eyes, seeing lots of confusion in it.
" Please don't misunderstand me, but I am just trying to say that whatever happened, I won't blame you. You are my husb... " she said, but was shushed with his finger on her lips making her eyes widen with shock. She immediately shut up, while he withdrew his finger and ran his hand through his hair. As feared, she totally misunderstood the situation and he decided to clear it off before it drives any kind of wedge between them.
" Geet, listen to me very carefully. Nothing happened last night. You were unconscious due to hypothermia, your body went cold due to the rain and your cut. When I called up my doctor, he said you needed heat and the best way out was to give you my body heat. I tried my best to keep the hut heated but you weren't getting any warmer, so I had to do it. I didn't look at anything, and believe me nothing... " he ranted on and on only to be stopped by her when she placed a palm on his mouth, jolting his senses to no limits. Sensing his stiffness, she removed the hand before he could say anything further.
" First of all, I never asked for any explanations. And now that you have given me one, I don't need any assurances from you about it. I trust you and I know you cannot do me any wrong. " she said smiling at him, pushing him back to his guilt conscious. Though he was happy with her words, he looked away not wanting to meet those innocent hazels which haunt him day and night. Deciding to change the topic, he looked back at her with a serious expression.
" I think we should start walking, before anything else happens. " he said and started walking while she quietly followed him. They traced their steps back towards the road, all the while no conversation taking place between them. Finally after hours of waking, they reached the road, where they could see many other people stranded due to the blockage. Spotting his car, Maan marched towards it but came out disappointed as it failed to start due to the heavy rain last night, while it stood there in it for hours. He cursed his fate even more, when he realized his phone was dead too, for him to call help from KM. Defeated, he walked towards some security's people asking them for the best option, while Geet just stood by the car seeing him lashing out his anger on every non living thing he came across. A smile played on her lips, seeing him so impatient, while she thanked her heavens for saving the living beings from his wrath. He was just walking back towards her, when he saw her smiling to herself, adding to his anger. What makes her smile when he is so frustrated.??
" Why are you smiling. ? " he asked her, as he reached her. Her smile vanished instantly, seeing his bad mood and she expected the worst.
" Nothing, I was just smiling at something " she lied, not wanting a piece of his anger.
" Whatever.! I just wanted to inform you, the car isn't starting and my phone too died last night, so there is no way we can call home and call for another car. I asked the security personnel and he said, there will be a bus in a while to the nearest place, where we have access to telephone and food, so we will go there and then I'll call home as anyhow no ones network here is going through , so there is no point in borrowing someone's phone too ." He said it all in one go, while she just stood there wondering how can a person be like him, all precise and weird. She was giving him all her incredulous looks when he again snapped her out .
" What.? " he asked her raising his eyebrows, looking at her expressions.
" Nothing. " she just shrugged it off, while he shook his head at the mystery behind her expressions and reactions.
" Okay then, go and sit there while I check up for something's till the bus comes. " he said pointing towards the place arranged for seating. She walked towards the seats while Maan walked In the opposite direction, in hope of finding other ways out. She quietly came and sat on one if the vacant seats, looking around the place and people. It would have been minutes she sat, when she noticed a pair of men looking in her direction, and she instantly could make out the disgusting looks they were giving her. She immediately looked away, not wanting to even look at them. After a few more minutes she could feel their lusty piercing through her skin, and she looked in their direction only to be disgusted to her cores and she saw them doing unimaginable actions looking in her direction. Not wanting to create a scene or invite trouble, she Simply left the place and walked towards the car only to bump into Maan who was walking in her direction. She immediately masked her expressions, not wanting him to notice anything .
" Can I get back the blazer.! ? " she asked him meekly, as she knew by now that her saree was not helping her.
" What.? Why.? " he asked her confused.
" I..I am feeling cold " she lied hesitantly. Maan looked at her and handed her the coat without any further questions. She immediately put it on and walked towards the car while Maan just stood watching her sudden change in behavior, shrugging it off he followed her. After a while the bus arrived and the passengers started lining up, while 2 different lines were formed for men and women. Geet hesitantly stood in the women's line all the while her gaze at Maan and the group of men who were ahead of him not facing her. She got into the bus, and took the seat while the men were asked to stand. It could have been just minutes when the bus was loaded and it started moving. Geet was busy enjoying the landscape outside, when she felt someone touching her. She looked in the direction only to see a persons back. Ignoring it, she looked away when again after a while she felt the same touch again, and this time she managed to see the persons face who was the among the same group of people who were giving her disgusting looks. Irritated, she turned her face away preparing for the worst. She decided to teach them a lesson in case they repeated it again. Acting as the last nail, she felt the touch again, and loosing her calm she instantly stood up ready to slap the person without looking. Her hand was about to come a smacking against the persons cheek, when it stopped inches away from the skin. She immediately stopped seeing the person who was none other than Maan. Embarrassed, she lowered her hand and looked down. He just smiled at her, assuring her of his presence while she just apologized to him through her eyes and sat back on her seat, moved by his care. She smiled at the fact that though he was far from her but he was watching her all along, and shielded her from those perverts without even letting her know. The ride was a bumpy one, occasionally everyone bumping into one another while Maan just shielded her from everyone, bumping into her himself. After a couple of hours, they reached their destination where the first thing Maan did was make a call to KM, asking them for a car while Geet stood there admiring the people around her, but to her surprise the group of men were no where to be seen.! Where did they go suddenly as she saw them on the bus.? She looked at Maan, who was busy on the phone and her thoughts went across the possibility that Maan could have something to do with it. But how.?
