Part - 23
Shruthe - Tons of Thanks and 🤗 for this wonderful banner Dear.
They had quiet dinner. Geet felt suffocated, there had never been this kind of silence between two but what could she do. How could she be so selfish?
She was standing in the front garden, admiring the beautiful night in this beautiful garden. What else could she do?
Since she has falsely mentioned about Manish named guy in her life all Maan had done was gone silent and would suddenly come up with question about Manish. How frustrated she have felt telling him lie everytime. She was lying to her Chote Thakur and not once and twice but everytime he mentions it. This was taking toll on her; she was not able to bear this lie to her Chote Thakur anymore. Why has he to ask about it again and again when she had just mentioned about it to quiet him.
But Maan knew her even better than her. He knew this lieing with him will break her at last. All he wanted was to know the reason of her lying to him but this could only be achieved if she accepts she is lying.
Geet suddenly felt his strong well built figure touching her back. Her breath as if stopped where ever it was in her lung and then his both hands entangled with her fingers. Geet felt she was flying in some unknown world with this way of touching of his.She was burning with the fire as his body touched hers yet she felt most protected as his fingers entangled hers.
"Just one last question- Is your and Manish relation more deeper than our relation"
Now this broke Geet's threshold, unable to hold anymore she turned and pushed him, making him stumble a little.
"How can you even say that" she came forward and held his collar "How can any relation be stronger than our relation. How can you even think that, haan?"
Maan just stayed still and let her react the way she felt. If he disturb even bit she will come to her senses and start working from mind.
"Manish Manish Manish.. subah se pareshan ker rakha hai... koi nahi hai Manish. I have no relation with anyone, do you understand."
She said helplessly, tears continuously falling down her eyes and she madly hitting him on his chest and at last breaking down fell on the ground on her knees.
Maan kept standing there still and let her cry as much as she could and then when she was about to calm a little, he in very low voice asked
"What is the reason of these lies? "
Geet now completely broke down and she could hold no more. She hugged Maan, encircling her hand around him, her head on his chest and tears flowing down making wet his thin shirt.
"Chote Thakur, I want to get rid of my sins. Every minute every second I am doing it, please free me it from it." She almost begged him, knowing she was completely helpless from her heart.
Maan was confused, now what was this "Sin? What sin? "
Geet moved a little backward and bowed her head down, she felt ashamed but now she has to accept it in front of him. He can only help her get out of this mess.
"Please don't think low of me Chote Thakur. I very well know this is wrong and that's why I promise I will do all to get out of it."
Now Maan was even more confused. He only knew that he knows her in and out, then what has she done so serious that he is unaware of.
"Geet, you don't have to worry when I am there, just tell me your problem." Geet closed her eyes tight "you are the problem" "I am the problem? " asked Maan confused.
"Now, will you be generous enough to explain everything clearly before I go crazy with your puzzles."
"I am.. I mean I .. woo" "Geet!!! " he roared shaking Geet
"Chote Thakur... woo" She bowed her head even low in shame "hmm, go ahead" "woo I... I think in a wrong way regarding you" Geet said feeling ever so ashamed of herself. Maan kept looking at her and then held and made her sit on the bench in the garden
"What do you mean by wrong way Geet, I know you can never think wrong of me. But if I have done something and it has hurt you and if you are feeling sorry for it, just tell me"
Geet immediately placed her palm on his lips and for the first time today he felt solace in his heart. Her soft touch just reached his heart like a balm.
He waited patiently for her to complete
"Chote Thakur, when ever you, I am sorry but whenever you, I mean you touch me... woo.. woo.. I feel in a way I should not, never. Main galat hoon, I know. You can punish me as you wish" She at last completed with struggle, not knowing how to face him now.
Maan had the biggest smile ever on his face. Her sweet guilt filled confession just washed away the entire mental trauma he had gone thru since morning today.
"Then I am a bigger sinner than you" Geet immediately placed her palm on his lips again
"Don't even say that for yourself, you can never be a sinner. For me, I don't know who I should pray first, Babaji or you" This made Maan angry and he jerked Geet's hand away
"Bas karo Geet bas. I am a human and I feel for you like a human. Don't keep giving me pain by giving me that place. I am human and I feel hurt, pain, anger, possessive and everything a human feel. Like all human, I have a weakness and you are my weakness. I like you and think about you like a man should feel for a woman in his life. I don't feel I am a sinner" Maan was so frustrated.
Geet kept hand on his hand which Maan just jerked in his frustration.
Geet ran away from there inside the room. She closed the door and slid down, tears roling down her eyes. How happy she should be, her chote Thakur thinks of her in that way. Now this whole world should be hers. But then she can't take this happiness. How can she be so opportunist to take such place in life of a peson who have actually given her life a whole new meaning? How can she even imagine of being there in his life at that position, is this how she will thank him? When she knows he desrve some royal princess in real, he deserve much more than what she is. What status does she have in society and where is his status. He has given her everything and should she pay him this way, taking opportunity of his weakness for her, when she knows she no where belongs there. Geet kept crying and crying. How happy she wanted to be at the knowledge that Chote Thakur feel for her but she could not.
After staying there for long, she realized she has left Maan in between of their talk, again giving him wrong signal. She washed her face and fixed herself. Maan was not in garden, she came inside. Peeping in the other room she found him sitting on the chair with his eyes closed. She knocked the door to get his attention.
"aa jaoo" he said with his eyes still close.
"Chote Thakur you can never be wrong. It's me who is wrong" she said hurridly, making sure he should not feel guilty in any way.
"my touches were wrong you felt, right? " Geet's running away after Maan's indirect confession again placed thing in wrong place
Now Maan opened his eyes and sat strainght, signaled her to sit.
What confusing was going in mind of this girl. He thinks that way is not wrong for her, he touches her that way is not wrong for her but her feeling for him is sin.
"Geet, if I touch you in a way to make you feel that way, its natural for you to feel that way. What's wrong in it? Itnee see baat hai, kyun nahi samajh rahee tum? What's sin in it."
"I must never forget what I am" Now Maan shook his head in frustration. He knew it was tough to explain her stubborn mind with arguments.
Iske Bhagwan se iska Devil banna hee padega, he knew.
"Achcha, so do you think you can see me with someone else, you can see someone else caring for me in front of your eyes. Will your heart let you?"
Geet sat quiet, yes one day he will be married and she have to see it. If she says NO he will never agree to marry anyone.
"Yes." "OK, go to sleep. It is very late night now."
