PART 5
She stood nude under the cold shower but there was not a single flinch from her. The running chilled water hit each cell and nerve but she stood still under it. It was past midnight and now she stood under and cold shower for more than an hour while was Maan unaware about it. He walked inside after about 2 hours finally calming and trying to be in control but the moment he did he was shocked to see the bed empty. He himself had made her to sleep and when he assured she was he left to cry for his loss. He called out to Geet and tats when he heard the shower running. At an instant he was inside the washroom as the door was unlocked. His eyes scanned her petite figure standing under the shower.
Geet he called but there was no response. He called again Geet, close the shower but there was no response from her. He walked near closing the shower and turned to only see a still numb pale Geet. He feared for a second as his hand reached to touch her wet nude body only to get a shock to feel it all cold but there was no reaction from her. He instantly pulled a towel and grabbed her inside it trying to wipe and warm her up. Geet, Jaan please speak up he said patting her cheeks but she only looked at him and then murmured I cleaned off the blood Maan. Dekho now m very much clean. You know I was stinking of blood. Maan just kept looking at her as tears made their way. She pulled herself away and walked out of the washroom all nude shocking Maan even more. He stood watching her as she stepped out of the washroom and sat on the bed looking straight.
Jaan he called Geet seeing all naked. He was loss at words and could not do anything and this was killing him in bits. He walked towards the wardrobe and pulled out a nighty and dressed her up. You will catch cold. Abhi abhi tho baby he said gulping down his words looking at her. It was not mine, you can cry if you want. Mujhe neendh aa rahi hain she said crawling back and sleeping on her side. He sat there watching her closing his eyes. He wanted to hug and cry his heart to her but he knew tat she was far away from him. He stood to change when he heard her question him kal Prem ki barsi hain, will you come with me. Her words evoked his anger tat he had calmed down. He still could not think rationally and burst out again on her apne bache ki barsi yaad hogi tumhe kya Geet and his questioned followed with her cold answer Mera nahi tha and she closed her eyes tight leaving a shattered Maan to see wat he did.
Raj, Naina and Dadima screamed seeing Geet running down the steps while Maan froze. He had just been out of his gym trying to vent out his anger but seeing Geet running like tat he almost screamed Geet but she was nowhere to stop. She just kept running down the steps trying to get down. She ran without hearing anyone and soon was out of sight driving her car before anyone could react anymore. Maan was too late to even react while others stood watching and trying to guess wat was going on when Maan screamed again phir se nahi Prem. Not this time and he ran upstairs to change leaving everyone in confusion when suddenly Naina said Prem ki barsi hain aaj.
Malhotra Mansion
Geet sat at a lone corner of the Malhotra Mansion trying not to even let her own shadow fall on his photo frame. She saw his Parents sitting doing the rituals for the barsi while Heer she was all alone in her life hearing wat the purohit was chanting. Though sitting at the far corner she knew wat was going through and it was all because of her. She wanted to scream and tell tat she was responsible for Prem's death but she failed every time she tried to say. She could not break her mother's promise tat if she tries to even say the truth or try to give any hint of her past than she would see her dead face. She felt a touch on her and looked up to see Heer.
He needs you there near him she said with no emotions in her voice. Heer hated Geet for taking her only love away from her life but she was happy knowing tat her Prem was in love with his best friend. She envied Geet in her life but seeing the immense love in his eyes for Geet she kept her love deep inside her heart. She even swore to Prem's parents Shikha and Shekar tat they would not force Prem to marry her as they had promised her dead parents and knowing Heer they had agreed her. Though sad for Heer they were happy tat Geet would be in their life unknown to the harsh truth about their life.
Chalo Geet, aaj ek saal baad you have come here and he needs you there close to him Heer said trying to pull her but Geet only jerked her hand away from her My shadow is evil and I don't want to taint a pure soul like him. tum jao apne Prem ke paas baitho. Ushe tumari zarrurat hain Heer she said moving back again. Heer could not understand wat Geet meant as whenever she met her she used to talk in such a way tat she could not get anything. Heer wiped her tears as she sat in front of Geet trying to make her understand Geet pyar karti thi na, tho chalo waha.
Aaj bhi karti ho she looked at Heer and said but m evil so go away. Mera saaya kha jaayega sabko go away Heer. Let me sit here far away and she pushed Heer who then walked away without any words. Geet sat there as her eyes burned feeling her past engulfing her present inside it. The past tat changed everything for worst leaving them empty handed.
Her eyes burnt as her heart cried seeing Maan dancing in some others arms. She tried to blink her eyes but her tears made it impossible as she heard few girls saying Do you know I have heard tat Maan is going to introduce Neha to Geet and Prem as his love. Geet's heart stopped beating as she heard further today is our farewell and soon after the exams Maan is going to propose Neha officially after all since Geet and Prem have been together he is been seen with Neha a lot.
It was their farewell party and after this they would part away in their life. Geet stared at Maan who was enjoying with Neha while Prem with another. Prem had tried to ask Geet for dance after Maan left with Neha but she did not go and stood there seeing them. It had been 8 months now and Geet was losing all her hopes but still she kept her little hope alive to get Maan. She saw Maan coming towards her with Neha. She faked a smile seeing them you look good together.
Maan burned as he clenched his fist tighter off course but truth is more good than you and Prem. Kya hain na after all its Maan Singh Khuranna, Geet Handa. He looked at her with a smirk and taunted further looks like Prem is changing you a lot Geet. Geet knew wat he meant and she answered in a low soft voice kabhi socha nahi tha Maan tat I will ever wear this type of dress but for someone I had to. Socha ki aaj tho mere saath and she stopped realizing wat she was going to say. She fought with her tears tat were trying to escape seeing Neha holding Maan's hand.
You look good in this Geet and not tat behanji type Neha said with a smile as Geet said faintly I know Neha and for tat reason I lost many things in life Geet looked at Maan but leave it. You wont understand.
Yeah why would I understand after all m just a friend na Geet Maan said piercing her as she only smiled saying again Suna hain Maan tat you are going to propose Neha. So finally you got a girl. Maan fumed and answered yeah I got and far better than anyone and m happy like you are. So now if you excuse us can I take Neha away. Geet gave the way smiling and wiped her eyes turning back to the crowd trying to lose her. She looked for Prem and saw him smiling with his friends. She felt thirsty and walked towards the drink counter and drank wat was offered by the waiters unknown tat some boys have mixed the drinks to have some fun. Geet just kept drinking as the first glass affected her soon snd she drowned herself into the drinks feeling light. Prem who had finished his dance turned to see Geet swaying in a odd manner and then the look at their classmates he knew wat was wrong. He ran to hold a trembling Geet.
Geet smiled seeing Prem close to him you came. You know Maan was just right here. Prem smiled chale Geet. we need to go he tried to drag her without creating a scene but Geet jerked him away No ways. Abhi tho party start hui hain. dekho na she showed her dress aaj tho maine Maan ki pasand ke dress bhi pehani hain. You know she stopped and thsn said again he always called me behanji as I don't have style par aaj dekho na she moved closer to Prem touching his face phir bhi he did not say I love you.. sab bhool gaya Prem. Mere Aitbaar jhoota tha.. Dekho na Maan ko Neha mili. You know they are so happy and Maan is going to propose her soon. Ab mera kya hoga.. kya mera Aitbaar jhoota tha.. kya mere pyar haar jayega she said crying. Prem stopped his tears knowing tat he could not see her in tears. He slowly held her taking out. He was in dilemma whether to take her home or not as he knew if he takes than the media who were out for some award function tat was going on at the other hall of the same building would see them. He slowly walked out and booked a room in his name and took Geet with him.
Prem opened his eyes hearing someone knock at the door. He glanced back and smiled seeing e messed up Geet sleeping peacefully on the large bed. He smiled further remembering how she danced and than his smile faded remembering how she broke down finally in front of him hurting scratching herself in anger and pain for losing Maan. He wanted to soothe her but he could not as he himself failed to give her happiness when he promised her for it. He stood to walk near her when he heard a loud knock on the door. For a second he was scared as he heard many voices and than his fear increased when he heard Rano calling out to Geet. He slowly walked and opened the door only to meet with flashes of camera's and voices questioning him something. He could not even say anything as he saw an angry Maan standing right in front of him and before he could even make a move Maan was all inside the room.
Maan's legs froze seeing Geet sitting on the bed with all messy hair while Rano and Mohinder numbed seeing nail marks on her arms and neck. There was no room to say anything further as the reporters tried to get inside the room to click pictures of Geet Handa sleeping on a hotel room with her so called alleged boyfriend who was none other than Prem Malhotra. Maan turned around slapping Prem hard tat he bled while Geet could not understand anything and tats when she felt a hard slap. She looked up at Rano who was glaring at her with anger and next she heard Maan screaming at Prem.
Wat did you do with her Prem Malhotra Maan questioned Prem holding as Prem saw his teary parents and Heer just entering the room pushing everyone. He looked at them with Pain when Maan slapped him again questioning Pyar karte ho na ushe, than why did you get her here. Kya kiya tumne Geet ke saath. Geet just kept staring at Maan and than at a painful Prem and then the last night flashed all over in front of her. She felt as if she would die and then she tried hard to remember wat happened between them but seeing her own marks on her body scared her further. She looked up at Prem with tears and fear and his not answering confirmed her doubts tat they may have done something tat they should not and just to save her he was quite. But then her eyes stared deep at the Prem. His eyes tat were soul to his heart and their friendship and once look back at them she knew tat they did not do anything. She knew tat Prem would never cross any of the limits nor she would as they had tat Aitbaar on their friendship than why was everyone questioning. Cant they see the truth in their eyes. Wat if they are there in one room does it means they are wrong. She felt tears stining in her eyes seeing Prem traying hard to answer but nor Maan did not give any chance to say anything for Prem. Her anger was rising and tats when she saw Mohinder walking towards Prem and slapping him again Bol de Prem. Say tat you both did not do anything, keh do ki and his hand slapped Prem again.
I, humne Prem tried to formulate words seeing everyone taking wrong but before he could say anything Geet came and stood in front of Prem and Mohinder saying jo bhi hua, it was our love. She glared at Maan Do you get Maan Singh Khuranna. Humara Pyar tha woh. We love each other and we were to get married after exams. Do you get.. and who the hell are you to question him. Don't forget tat you are just a friend aur waise bhi agar humne kuch kiya bhi nahi hain tho you all will not trust us. Ek kamre mein jo mile hum, so I say whatever we did it was between us and no one has the right to question Prem or me.she said pointing her finger at Maan who was all broken from inside with her answer while Mohinder and Rano along with Shikha , Shekar and Heer stood watching Geet.
Aur Papa aap, did not you question me the other day about Prem. Yaad hain na maine kya kaha tha tat when times comes I will say and I think its time. Jab sabko pata chal juka hain and found me and Prem in a room so why to hide. Yeah we love each other and are getting married soon. So jo kuch bhi hua tats not wrong and she turned towards the media saying you have got your gossips so go ahead and publish the news about us. I don't care a damn and she walked out of the room trying hard not to break in front of anyone.
Her heart cursed for ruining everyone's life as she remembered each and every second of her cursed past. The past where she had Aitbaar on her love and tat very own Aitbaar made her a killer of her Prem. The Prem who was just not a friend but someone who sacrificed his love for her and her family honor after she and her family reputation was target in media. The media just wanted a chance and they got the biggest gossip about one of the richest family in Delhi tat led to loss in Handa business too. Prem stood by Geet and her words and confessed to his family tat he loves Geet .He told her how wild she was after getting drunk and how she had hurt herself but he stood by Geet for their family honor tat was targeted for no reasons by the business rivals.
She sat mourning and crying over the person who had left them a year and so. Maan was angry and wanted to shout and scream at her for running like tat but the moment he step inside the Malhotra Mansion he stilled. His tears and fear surfaced on his face as his whole body now trembled with fear. The fear tat was deep inside him. He walked inside trying hard to control himself. His mind raged in anger as he saw her shedding tears for Prem rather than their own baby who had just left but she was here at his place where he had not dared to come. His eyes got the glimpse of Heer who now was the only support for Prem's parents. Though rich and famous they were left with nothing in their hands. His eyes scanned the whole mansion tat was dead and again they turned towards Geet but turned wild and horror filled in them seeing her dress turning red. He stood numb realizing tat she was still weak and then the blood coloring her shook the earth below with the realization tat she was bleeding. Geet his voice trembled as he tried to call a lost Geet. He tried hard as his legs were giving up. He wanted to reach and when he saw her eyes closing he screamed on top of his voice scaring everyone who were there for the Barsi. He ran towards Geet while Heer ran after she saw Maan looking at Geet. Geet, open your eyes Geet he tried to call her as she smiled closing her eyes.
Hospital
He sat there staring at the closed door of the ICU where she was from last 3 hours. Each second and minute was getting heavier on him as there was no word from the doctors. He wanted to scream and kill himself but he could not do it. Rano who had been patient enough now broke down seeing her daughter in this state and finally lashed her anger and frustration on Maan slapping him in front of everyone. She pulled him by his collar and slapped again saying 8 months Maan. 8 months she had been trying hard to say. Say tat she was yours and see wat you gave her. Main pagal thi Maan, I never thought tat you saying her behanji out of fashion would give her pain. Ab samjh aaya mujhe ki why you never took her to parties along with you. Dost thi na tumari phir bhi you were ashamed of tat. Dosti sirf college aur ghar pe thi but not outside. You were ashamed and feared tat you may be tagged with her like your other modern girls. Everyone was shocked to see Rano hitting and shouting at Maan while Maan he looked deep in her eyes.
Aitbaar ki saaza di meri beti ko, maar diya Maan. Maan diya maine apni beti ko she cried slapping him again she not only spoiled her life par dekho Maan see Heer, she too lost her love due to Geet's Aitbaar. Dosti tho Prem ne nibahayi Maan.. Prem jo tum dono ki zindagi mein bahut late aaya but he was the one who knew Geet in and out and he left his own love for her Aitbaar. Dekho Maan tumari nasamjhi ke karan kya hua. Wat did you tell Geet tat you owned her na, if you did than why did not you let her know tat you loved her Maan, kyu ushe majboor kiya ki woh apni zindagi se khel baithi. Why did you force her to play with her Aitbaar. Pyar ka dusra naam izhaar hota hain Maan and you failed to see the insecurity she was having within her. You failed to see her love Maan. shaadi ke baad bhi sab kuch diya. Would she give herself to you if she would have loved Prem Maan... You know wat Maan Singh Khuranna, you are a bloody murderer, apne khud ke bache ko maar diya tumne and now you will kill her. you will kill the one whom you love most Maan.. your Geet, do you get you are a bloody murderer.
Her words hit him hard. Her words reached tat one point in his heart where he had hidden the biggest truth about his life. The truth tat will shatter his whole life snatching everything tat he has. Yes he was a murderer, he killed his baby, his wife but more than tat he killed someone who was closer to him. The one who had Aitbaar on his Geet's Aitbaar, the Aitbaar tat he could not see but Prem had seen. How will he say tat he has killed Prem with his own hands.
Gunaah kiya hain maine, par na woh gunaah hain
Pyar kiya hain maine, par na woh pyar hain
Zindagi paa li maine, par na ush zindagi ko apna keh paya main.
Uske har ek eshaas ko jeet gaya mai
Par apne eshaas kho juka main.
Na keh paaya ushe ki, gunaah kiya hain maine
Par na woh gunnah hain.. Na Gunaah Hain!!!
