MG FF- ~ABHI NAHIN AANA~ THREAD #5 - Page 21

He fell on to his knees, crying out for her...but she was long gone..and she refused to even look at him. she didn't even turn back to see him..even once!!! why was fate this cruel to him? why was he on the losing side again and again? he dragged his lifeless body to his car...breaking down every moment...dying thousand deaths every minute...his jaan was not even ready to even spare a look at him... and the thought itself killed him right there!! this was beyond his tolerance level...this was much more painful that living without her. This was nothing but just death of him today!!!

It took him sometime to realize whatever just happened! He froze yet again...her pleading face, her effort to break free, her running away from him flashed in front of his eyes. It felt as if he was in the same situation yet again where he was a year back.. alone, waiting for her...but she was gone...never to return perhaps. He slowly drove towards his house lost in her thoughts...how could she do this to him? even after all this..she could still walk out? He sped faster and drove faster to his room. He threw away his keys and coat and sat in front of the laptop again searching for Geet handa and things related to her accident.

There were details about her life, her accident, the cause of her accident were reasoned that she was depressed and that she was not in her right state of mind. he searched further about her being in London or being alive for that matter but there was not a clue...not even the tiniest of hint he could gather!!! He recalled Ana being with Geet...that means nisha must be there with them too!! How could they not even tell him a thing? He felt his heart heavy with so many emotions altogether.. it was of losing his jaan... it was of finding her safe again...it was of being betrayed...it was of immense happiness yet sadness...yet a fear...yet an uncertainty!

Ana helped a scared Geet out of the car, cocooning her like a baby and led her inside. she knocked the door and the next moment, someone opened the door with a wide smile on her face, arrey.. you two are back so early today? How was it today?"

Her eyes fell on Geet who seemed scared, hiding behind Ana, holding her hand tightly. She smiled and called out to her softly, "ma'am... how was it today? Did you enjoy?"

Geet looked at the person in front of her quickly and sighed, recognizing her voice. She slowly came out and looked at Ana for a while and then at Sasha, "i...i am..tired..."

Sasha held her hand and slowly led her to her room. She made her comfortable on bed and pulled the duvet, "you can sleep for a while if you want to.."

"umm...", she nodded cutely.

Sasha caressed her head a bit, "if you need something.. call me..okay?"

"umm..Ok..." she spoke out meekly.

Sasha pulled the curtains and walked out, closing the door but not locking it. she went to the hall and saw Ana sitting quietly, lost in some thoughts. She sat beside her and asked, "what is it antara? You seem lost... did something happen?"

Ana looked at her for a while and sighed, "she met maan today..."

Sasha was surprised, "maan?? Maan Singh Khurana?"

Ana looked blankly towards the wall, "yup... he..he didn't want to let her go.. but di was so scared..she had started crying... I didn't even have a choice but to bring her back!"

Sasha had not expected this... maan finding out about Geet...she had never expected that coming!!! They had been so careful... but then she didn't know whether it was right or wrong. She leaned back on the chair losing herself in her thoughts. Her mind went back to those events that occurred more than a year back and now had just become memories!

The doctor had almost lost hopes of her survival. Her brain had been injured badly and her body was giving up. Maan had just gone home because nisha had asked him to...nisha herself hadn't even spoken a word. It was past 3am and nisha hadn't even budged from her place. She went to her with a cup of coffee and extended it to her, "ma'am..please have some coffee at least!"

Nisha was far from reacting anything and Sasha did feel the corners of her eyes burn seeing nisha like that. nisha had always been like a guardian to her...helping her...showering her love... caring about her...just like a mother. The Mohinder Handa was the one who had given her a new life after her parent's death and nisha filled it with love. thats why she was close to their family... she was under their debt and she would do whatever it takes to keep them happy. She should at least tell her about Geet. she knelt down in front of her and held her hands and squeezed them gently, "Geet ma'am was not in New York all this time..."

It took sometime time for nisha to let the words sink in and look up at her...shocked!! Sasha gathered all her courage and continued, "that night she left early... telling me that she had some work before she headed home. The next morning...she came to my place... tattered and bruised and scared..."

Nisha heard her blankly. When Sasha didn't speak for sometime, she urged her to speak up, "what had happened to my princess? Why didn't she come home when she was hurt?"

Her voice trembled, making Sasha weaker...but she had to let them know...she breathed in sharply gathering all the courage and looked directly at nisha, "she..she had been sexually abused..."

The look n nisha's face was something that could even make a stone cry. She could visualise Geet crying for that doll like a baby...she had been so disturbed...and something like this happening to her...she couldn't even imagine!!

"it...it was not a rape...luckily she escaped... but she had succumbed to the trauma she had faced..."

Sasha opened her eyes slowly, hearing the doorbell. She wiped her tears and slowly walked towards the door. She had seen nisha breakdown... probably that day nisha as well as her own self had realized under how much mental stress Geet was!!! She even told the reason why Geet didn't want to let them know... she didn't want to see her family suffer because of her. her father had given her all the responsibility of taking care of the business...taking care of family...how could she have broken down in front of them?

She opened the door and was not even surprised seeing nisha. she greeted her and led her inside. Sasha served her tea as she watched her thoughtfully. The handa empire was in pieces right now...and whatever share they owned, nisha took care of them from Chandigarh. She visited London in between whenever she got time.. she looked old and wrinkled right now..but she had to salute the courage of this woman to have taken such drastic steps so effortlessly... without even hesitating...and that was for good.

Sasha took her luggage when nisha held her hands, "meri bachi kahan hain Sasha? Ab kaisi hain?"

[hows my baby Sasha? How is she now?]

Sasha sighed and kept the luggage down, "her physical health if okay but she still has problems in muscle coordination... doctor said it will take a long time..."

Nisha sighed, "where is she?"

"ma'am...she is sleeping in that room", Sasha spoke pointing towards the adjacent room. Nisha was about to walk away when she stopped and caressed Sasha's face, "Sasha... I told you don't call me ma'am... call me Chachi beta...like Geet does... you are my daughter as well..."

Sasha didn't even know how to repay this debt yet again. she is indebted even more to this woman! She looked down and nodded in affirmative, "yes Chachi..."

"thats like my baby...", she kissed Sasha's forehead and walked to check on Geet.

-------------------------------------------------

He was going crazy with whatever truth had been presented to him. he hadn't been to india for quite a couple of months...but nothing..not a single thing ever came up in news relating to Geet...nor was there anything about her on the business front. He knew handa empires had broken down... but that was bound to happen when the heir was not present. Nisha and Ana hardly came to public view. But what he saw today was just too shocking. Ana was here...geet was here...then who died? He tried to recall that moment when he had seen her body being taken for cremation. They had covered her face saying it was bruised badly and it wouldn't be nice of people see... he had seen that ring on her finger and assumed she was his jaan...but then she was all perfect today!! He thought harder when things struck... could it be that the entire truth was fabricated... and he was also led into deception just like the whole world?? But why would anyone do this? There must be some strong reason perhaps...and the only person who could answer him was Geet herself or nisha! and if Geet and Ana were here...nisha must be here as well.

He took his phone and called up adi immediately.

"yes sir.."

"adi..find me details of Geet handa...where she lives or what she does... every little thing..."

Adi was confused...geet handa? Wasn't she dead? He knew maan and Geet were in a relationship for quite a while..but then him suddenly taking up this topic..he was confused.

"but s...sir.. Geet handa? Am sorry to say but its been a year since she had passed away in a brutal car accident..."

Maan felt like shouting at him...but its only him who he could trust right now...and rely on him. he took in a sharp breath and spoke out, "listen to me adi... theres a huge misunderstanding right now... but Geet is alive and I have seen her with my own eyes..."

Adi was shocked to hear this.. as much as he didn't believe the news of a dead person coming alive, he had trust on his boss as well. he wasn't a person who would just speak rubbish out of the blue.

"hmm...what do I have to do sir?"

"...don't tell about this to anyone okay...there is something thats being hidden from all of us. Find me the details of her...even about anyone related to her...be it one of her clerks in her office but I need every little detail by tomorrow morning..she is here in London and her sister is with her as well... I need it by tomorrow morning..you get that?"

"right away sir...i will contact my people right away..."

"umm...", thats all he said and fell back on his bed.

------------------------------------------------

She felt someone hold her hand and drag her towards his car. She was scared..she didn't know who this stranger was and then his sudden advent scared her.

"mein tumhe kahin nahin jaane doonga samjhi tum...", she heard his fearful voice.

[I will never let you go.. do you get that?]

She was so scared...she struggled to break free from those iron fists which had now started to hurt her.

"please let me go... mein.. mein ya...yahan aur kabhi nahin aaungi... please.."

[please let me go.. i...i.. wi..will never come here again...please...]

But those hands were so tightly not letting her move. She fought and struggled harder but they just seemed adamant on not letting her go.

She cried again, "kyun mujhe le jaana chahte hain aap?"

[why do you want to take me away?]

She felt a soft caress over her forehead and snapped open her eyes. The light was too bright for her. she closed her eyes immediately pulling the duvet over her face. Nisha smiled seeing her cute antics and dimmed the lights.

"you can open your eyes now princess..."

She heard it and slowly pulled down the duvet, looking here and there wondering who was in her room, speaking to her. she was relaxed seeing the lights dimmed and slowly peeped her head out. She sat up slowly and looked around for anyone and was shocked to see some lady standing before her and smiling. She tried to focus her look on that person...she wore a blue jeans and a white long kurti. She was quit beautiful and she carefully looked at her. she tried to recall that face...but her mind didn't register a thing. She blinked a couple of times as her breathing quickened unable to understand what was going on. she got scared and squeezed herself to one corner.

Nisha was so heartbroken to see her like this... the once bold and happening Geet handa is not even scared of her own people!! Pathetic it felt on her part as she inched closer and Geet squeezed herself further.

"Geet...its me beta..look at me..", nisha called out to her softly.

She closed her eyes and tucked her head closer to herself and shook her head for a no. Nisha tried to be careful around her, "Geet...look at me princess..."

She was so scared of this person now..she might just hold her and not let her go. Scared as she was, she shrieked out, "Ana... Sasha...help...help..."

Nisha immediately inched back seeing her get so scared. She knew of her condition well but she hadn't expected the results to be this drastic. She stood farther in a corner and waited for Ana and Sasha to come to them and help her. and in no time, Ana came running inside and hugged Geet, followed by Sasha.

Ana held her close while Geet tucked herself closer to her and hid her face.

"di...what happened? See who has come to see you?". Ana tried to convince her to meet nisha.

Geet shook her head in denial, "na na... am scared... who is she??"

Nisha felt like her heart being pierced into millions of pieces hearing something like that from Geet. she looked at Sasha helplessly who seemed to smile reassuring her. nisha waited and watched Ana made Geet look at the pic right beside her bed.

"di... do you see that??", she spoke sweetly, making Geet look at the photo frame immediately that was kept beside her bed.

"umm.."

"do you the person on the right side?"

Geet smiled cutely, "yes...its you Ana..."

"yup thats right...then whos on the left?"

"ummm...its Geet...", she thought for a while and smiled wider, "Geet..is me..."

"very good...", Ana smiled, "now can you tell me who is in the middle? I had told you yesterday right?"

Geet nodded and carefully looked at the pic trying to recall what Ana had told her the previous day. she thought and thought and thought until it struck her mind, "yes yes...i know who she is...chachi!!"

She looked at the person standing in front of her, waiting to be recognised. Geet looked at the pic and then back at her and smiled wider, "Chachi..."

Nisha couldn't help but smile at her antics. She ran closer and hugged her tightly, "kaisa hain mera bacha?"

[hows my baby?]

Geet held her back, resting her head on her shoulder, "am okay..."

Sasha saw Geet slowly accept nisha's presence and went to get snacks for everyone. Ana went with Sasha leaving the duo alone. Nisha examined Geet carefully first and sat beside her, "are you going regularly to the doctor?"

"umm..yes..", she spoke proudly, "and... you know doc said I will very quickly remember things if I try.."

"thats such a good news princess... you are improving... lets celebrate...", nisha spoke cutely.

"celebrate?", she spoke quite thoughtfully, "wo kya hota hain?"

[what does it mean?]

The smile faded slowly away from nisha's lips... this was going to take time...a very long time..may be months or years for may even be a lifetime!!

"umm.. okay just come with me.. I will cook your favourite food today and even bake a chocolate cake for you..thats called celebration..."

Geet's eyes widened in happiness, "wow...chocolate cake?? I will go and tell Ana right away..."

She just jumped down the bed and ran out looking for Ana. Nisha sat there...lost in her thoughts. Things have changed so much... Geet has changed so much...but sadly there are thing which still remain the same. She had never known the meaning of "celebration" then and she doesn't know the same even today!! How much more her princess was going to suffer...she just had to wait and watch for she couldn't do anything much. this was just the beginning... things will get much more complicated in near future.

-------------------------------------------------

Only he knew how he had spent the night restlessly, searching for his jaan...waiting for adi's call. For once he felt proud of owning so much power and so much wealth. It struck 3am when his cell beeped with adi's name flashing on it. anxiety...excitememnt...nervousness...fear...uncertainty...everything seemed to crowd his heart all at a time.

"did you get anything?", was the first thing he asked.

"yes sir... I just found out that miss Sasha Mehra is staying just a little away from London city and apparently working in some Mnc. It seems from her profile that she had left the handas post Geet handa's demise..."

Maan couldn't believe what he was hearing. There are definitely things which are hidden from him. Sasha was the first step... and he had to climb the ladder to reach Geet.

"alright then...just mail me her residence address and details of her company..."

Adi heard his firm voice and obliged. maan kept the phone away and looked out of the window...he was finally getting a breakthrough in this mystery. His Geet is safe and sound...he could probably go to sleep today... without any restlessness...without any hesitation.
