Part - 38

Shruthe - Tons of Thanks and  for this wonderful banner Dear.

Mehak scolded Geet for running away from Maan's life like this but her scolding was a real sisterly concern and Geet quietly listened. Vicky too was first upset with her but then tried to explain her that running away from anything is not the solution.

 

Making Geet realize in more detail what kind of mistake she had done and how much pain she has caused to her own Chote Thakur.

 

Geet reached her hostel.

 

***************************8

 

After college hours when girls started pouring in the hostel, they just picked Geet up in the air

 

"So The Maan Singh Khurana is your Chote Thakur, Omg"

 

It went on and on. The grand engagement had been telecasted on so many news channels that none could have escaped it.

 

But Geet was all lost, she gave them smile but her self was lost...

 

Next day Samrat came to her in college "wahi tou"

 

"What wahi tou" Geet asked irritated "I was so wondering all these years, what is in this Chote Thakur that any girl can ignore my charm, abb pata chala The Great"

 

"Maan Singh Khurana" Geet completed.

 

But as the 1^st day went from morning to day, Geet again started sinking in guilt and pain that Dev had given her, both things were mixing.

 

By night her friends realized, Geet was somewhat more lost than her usual lost self... She did not take a bite or a drop of water, nothing was going inside her.

 

"Now you both are going to be one, what's the issue Geet? " But Geet was numb and lost.

 

"This is her usual, whenever she is lost, khana pina chor deti hai" one friend said

 

"Hope you didn't do any of such there" the other said

 

All the girls and boys of her group gathered to help her

 

Sam then came with water and some light food "Khana kha loo phir baat kerte hain or else you gonna faint like always" Geet who was still lost

 

Geet removed the plate from his hand and hugged him tight "I have hurt him beyond" and she started crying

 

"Sshh Geet" he tried to calm her down. They tried to feed her but then Dev's act came in front of her eyes and she threw up. Dev's words and the way he had touched her were continuously flashing again and again.

 

Her friends feared if she continues this way she may faint as they knew her recent year's activities very closely.

 

And at last the fear came truth and Geet fainted blabbering

"Chote Thakur"

 

Though it was common act of Geet when she was lost but this time they felt her condition was more critical. Something much more had gone. It was such a dreamy engagement with the one you love most, and then what is the reason.

 

Nina, her room mate took her phone "I need to call her Chote Thakur now, before something serious happens"

 

She took his number from Geet's cell but as she dialed she was for once scared of calling The MSK but then all she knew was her friend's condition.

 

Maan was in office at that late night hour and his cell buzzed, lost he picked it up

 

"Ji.. Ji I am Nina, Geet's roomy. Her condition is not good"

 

"What? Geet is in hostel, she left? " Nina did not like the fact that the Chote Thakur whom Geet almost worship does not even know she is back. But when she got back on the phone it was disconnected.

 

hr later Maan was in Mansion. He ignored everyone else and moved toward Kamini

 

"Geet went to hostel and no one told me"

 

"Why you need to be told, you should have known it if you bothered." Maan left from there irritated

 

He maniacly packed his clothes, not knowing properly what he was packing.

 

 

"yes sir.. sir yes " "Stop blaberring Pari, I am not available for few days, tom cancle all my appointments for 3-4 days"

 

 

 ***************888888888

 

Geet opened her eyes to find herself in some alien place. It looked like some hotel room.

 

Maan got up from couch to come near her "Now I am hallucinating" she murmered. Maan ignored her murmerning "How are you feeling now" he sat on bed near her.

 

"You? Here? How? " she asked all confused.

 

"don't go on questions, you need to answer tons first" Geet smiled, she wanted to hug him tight.

 

But she was confused and Maan sensed it. "Here is approved application of your sick leave. You are on sick leave for minimum 3 days."

 

"per "

 

 "No Per. You have played a lot with your and my life. Now you like it or not, your life is going to run exactly on my wishes. With my life, you can play whichever way you want. Mess with it but I am not allowing you do it with yours."

 

He was scolding her but still Geet could feel the deep love in all those scolding but who cares, he is there what else can she wish.

 

"What are you smiling at, I am scolding you" Geet nodded in acceptance but her smile was not stopping.

 

"Your professor prescribed this and soft food for you. This will continue for today." He gave her the electrolyte solution for dehydration.

 

After she drank, he ordered Khichri for her. She made face and he gave her a look making her hide her face.

 

He tried making her sleep without any more words but she held his hand. Maan kept looking at her and then taking deep breath "Kya karoon tumhara"

 

Geet hugged him tight "You forgave me"

 

"No Never, for what you did to yourself never." But he did not push away, he was helpless. He has at last decided to live for her happiness but only thing he will not compromise is with her, rest she can play with his life as she wishes. He had given up.

 

"Why do you do everything that gives me pain? Whole life I dedicated to keep any kind of pain away from you and what I got at last."

 

"I am fine Chote Thakur" "Now at least don't lie to me. You separated yourself from me, that was still OK but then what you went thru, it hurts and it hurts very deeply Geet. Kya karoon main, itna bebas ker diya hai tumne mujhe."

 

He kept quite for a while as Geet was hugging him, running her hands on his back to soothe him.

 

"I can't even punish you, the way you have punished your self."

 

There was then knock on the room and then arrived her Khichri.

 

Geet tried to sit straight "Be relaxed as you are, I will feed you."

 

Geet felt the tears will drop down anytime from her eyes, she was immensely happy on one side; her Chote Thakur was back; this scolding of his, she was dying to get this kind of concerned filled dominance from him but on other hand she could feel the pain he was talking about.

 

Maan fed her and she submissively let him do. Both were quiet Maan lost in thought and Geet in the moment.

 

Aftet that Maan left the room to make some calls. Geet knew anytime Maan can ask her so many questions.

 

She dialed Samrat "ohh hoon.. how did you even remember to call us."

He said teasingly "Shut up"

 

"do you even know in which princely way he took you from college, in his arms in bridal style. I bet Geet, at that moment, seeing you that way in arms of The Maan Singh Khurana, all girls were jealous of you."

 

Geet blushed, realizing the way he must have picked her in front of all "Chote Thakur bhi na" just came out of her lips "aye haiyyee" he teased her again.

 

"Stop Sam, tell me one thing, how much did you all tell him"

 

"Yaar, first Maan Singh Khurana standing in front of us, then is angry intense glare. He is top genius yaar, he knows how to get things out... sorry yaar, but he got us speak each and every truth"

 

"But Geet, none of us are sorry for it. The way, the intensity with which he felt for you, he deserve to know everything"

 

"Haan mujhe suli pe chada ker, none of you are sorry. How much pain he is in now, do you realize?"

 

"You are responsible and you should face it." There was click on the door and maan entered, Geet immediately disconnected.

 

 "Samrat, right? " "yeah woo" "he likes you.. I mean" "but I don't"

"Don't worry, I am not giving you to him."

 

"and you know why, coz, you need someone strong headed to not allow you to harm your own self and he was unable to do that in these years."

 

Geet looked everywhere other than at him. He came and sat near her, her all pain seemed vanishing just by his being by her side. Even the pain Dev had given her felt swapping, that was his effect on her.

 

But what about him, she knew after knowing all from his friends he was so hurt. Her once fainting in front of him and he had crushed glass with his hand. Now he knew all, how she had frequently stopped eating, how her fainting was regular, how she was best doctor in making but worst patient. How she had pained herself, he knew all. How restless he must be feeling.

 

Maan was now near the table playing with water glass, Geet was just praying he doesn't repeat it. But Maan, who was in deep thought came back near her on her bed.

 

"You should rest now." Geet got alarmed "Nahi, bas aapka saath mehsoos kerna hai"

 

"Don't worry, I won't harm myself, I have to take care of you. You rest for now."

 

Geet lied down and Maan tucked her, not letting her do even that. Ohh she was again a princess. No money can make her feel princess, only her Chote Thakur can.

 

Maan left the room, he had so many things going in his mind.

 

When he came back after an hour or so, Geet was still sleeping, weakness had taken toll on her. He was no able to forgive anyone, not even himself.

 

Geet woke up after an hour and came to him "How are you feeling now"

 

Geet took the liberty to sit on his lap, she so badly wanted to be so close to him "very fresh" she said keeping her head on his chest.

 

"Geet I have to ask you something, please state the truth"

 

"abb aapke samne, sirf sur sirf such. I will not hide anything from you now"

 

"What did Dev do to you" Geet kept quiet for a while but then she has to speak to him

 

"He is your brother but" "No, he is not, I disowned him as my brother"

 

Geet's eye widened "aisa hota hai kya" "you tell me" Maan came to the point

 

"He tried to misbehave and manhandle me and even used disrespectful words" Geet said frankly, not hiding anymore

 

"but I pushed him and saved myself" 

But Maan's eyes were intense, pain or anger she did not know "He touched you? Where?" came his shivering voice

 

Geet hugged him tight, her face on his shoulder "Cheeks and shoulder" and tears rolled down her eyes feeling the pain and hatred for Dev. Maan let her cry, this was the last time she was crying. He will make sure no pain touches her after this.

 

"We have to file case against Dev. You have to give your statement"

 

Geet immediately removed hersleft to look at him "No, in that family name will be dragged."

 

"So you mean, all so called big family guys can go on doing anything and they should not be punished. Geet I don't expect such words from you."

 

He then kept looking at her Geet could not let him down this time "I will come with you."

 

"So, in Delhi, when you are all well. These days you are just relaxing" he ordered.
