Chapter 25

 

"woo koi kerdega naa' tum khud kyun" but Geet gave him a real angry glare and he stayed quiet and stood at the side'. He had no power to say anything to her'.

 

He just kept looking at whatever she was doing'. Mixed feeling within him'. After Geet cleaned and changed the sheet she gave him the pain killer'.

 

"Main theek hoon" he wanted to feel as much pain but Geet just kept standing there with medicine and water in her hand' he took it'.

 

Geet woke up at 7:00 am while Maan was still sleeping due to the medicine effect'. Her eyes went to his hand which was bandaged' tears welled up on Geet's eyes seeing his condition' she let it fall down' she could not let it out in front of him, but now he was sleeping' he could not see her weakness'. She felt like caressing his hand, to hug him, kiss him' anything to relieve his pain but she was not sure even if she mattered to him'. Even if her hug or kisses were of any meaning to him'. She stopped just kept looking at him with pained teary eyes'.

 

She then got a call from her Mom

 

"kya baat hau Geet' tu aise kyun chalee gayee'sab theek to hai na'koi phone aya tha"

 

"woo kuch khas chut gaya tha' I will come after two days"

"per aise raat me' dara diya that hume tune"

 

"uff Maa I said na I will come after two days"

 

Then Dadima and Annie came running

 

Dadima:"Geet aap aise kyun raat me achchanak aa gayee'" Then her eyes fell on Man's wounded hand' fully bandaged'.

 

"When did this happen' she felt all worried"

"woo kal raat galti se inka haath who glass se crush ho gaya'. Mujhe pata chala to main bass aa gayee'. Everything is Ok now' Main dekh rahee hoon"

 

Dadima and Annie both sat down to see Maan's hand'

 

"main doctor ko bulatee hoon.. apne hume bataya kyun nahi" "ji dadima'." She had no answer to Dadima's question'. He had placed her in this odd situation and was sleeeping peacfully himself'. "yes, that's what he always intend to do" she thought.

 

Geet woke Maan up when doctor came and stood at the side'. The nurse tried to unbandage him to check the wounds but Maan would not let her touch it'.  Geet knew how stubborn he was, this she knew very well and she also knew he would not say anything to her at this moment, whatever may be his own reason'..

 

She asked them if she can do it' Nurse gave her the space, she took Maan's hand and he gave it to her'. She unbandaged it' the wound still looked so fresh, she again felt the pain rushing thru her' she felt like touching his each cut from her lips and swallow them within but she kept stern while Maan was just looking at her face' trying to read her pain'.

 

Doctor checked the wound and gave the medicine for it to dry'.

"I don't need medicines' I will be fine in a day or two' it's not a big deal" he somehow wanted to convince Geet that he was not in that big pain but she gave him no expression' She took the priscription from doctor.

 

He did not let the nurse to even place fresh bandage on him and at last Geet had to do it' his healing was much important to her' but she showed no sign to him

 

After doctor went Geet called her office and took leave for few days and she was about to go to take medicine when

 

"I did not meant to trouble you' maine yeh jaan bhuj ker nahi kiya" he spoke mildly

 

Geet got really angry at this "ohh really??" she did not want to speak with him but in anger and pain could not stop herself

 

"How am I supposed to know you will come at that hour' trust me, I did not want to give you pain"

 

That was it' she heard it a lot

 

"Trust You???'. I have complete faith that pain is all you plan to give me' that's what you have'." she stopped as she did not want him to read her mind

 

"How do I convince you" "if you want to do something for me' do not convince me"

 And she left.

 

Maan was just remembering how she has placed bandage on him' gave him medicine'He touched his bandage and smilled' "You love me so much'kitna chupaoogee... I was blind before but not now Geet'.. I know where your happiness lies' I will bring back your happiness whatever it takes from me to do"

 

He made some descision as the way they were going it was not leading to anywhere' he has to do things his ways or in other words change his own ways' he knew Geet would be angry sometimes but all he wanted to focus was bring happiness in her and heal her broken heart'..

 

When Geet came back Maan was looking for something in his cupboard'. Now with his cut hands she cannot leave him alone atleast for two days'. Well that was Geet, for her above all her pain and all her planning was his pain, though she was sure not to let him be aware of this'.

 

He turned back with something in his hand'. He smiled at her, she just ignored it and went ahead to fix the room' How much she had longed for his smile and now when it came it all looked so fake to her or she didn't want to even realize it was true.

 

"You forgot to take something with you yesterday'." He smiled, she looked at him questioningly.

 

He sat on bed and signaled her to sit'.

 

"I am fine' I have other works to attend" "Oo-ookk"

 

"I am staying for two days because of your cut or people will ask hundred questions'. Nothing more' only if you don't disturb I will be greatfull"

 

"oo-ookkk"

 

"ohhh how come he act so well'. Dil me itna gussa bhara hai ke glass se yeh haal bana liya and now how he can act so calm'." Geet wondered

 

He came infront of her "Achcha I will not disturb you' pakka... just take this, you forgot it yesterday" and he brought the gift box infront of her.

 

Geet didn't say anything'her heart started beating fast by his act, by his clossness'. She have to move away before her heart start betraying her  and she started to get out of room when he ran and closed the door in which he got hit on his injured hand from the knob.

 

"aaww" geet ran to check his hand but he snapped back'"pehle yeh lo phir check kerna' please" Geet was really getting irritated with his false antics but more irritated by her own self'. Why somewhere within her heart wanted to believe he was true, why it was so alluring' how will she stop herslf, but she has to'. She can't bear one more heartbreak from him'. Which this time my come as storm after calmness

 

"I will send Dadima to take care of you'. I am least bothered of your pain" and she left

 

"and the pain you are in  bothers me most, Geet" he thought

 

Geet sent Dadima to Maan, excusing herself to work in kitchen'.

 

"why does he compel me to get rude to him, leave me with no option' roz kuch naya kerte rehte hain' what does he want from me"

 

Dadima went to check on Maan

 

"Maan app theek to hain na'" "Haan dadima' I am fine. I will ask you if I need anything.. woo.. where is Geet Dadima"

 

"she is in the kitchen.. aapp bhi na Maan kya kerte hain' she went to her parent's after such a long time and you called her at night' was that good"

 

He had no answer and he knew Geet must have made some excuse on basis of which he was getting lecture from Dadima

"abb main kya kerta'. " he showed his hand.Dadima nodded not being satisfied but left.

 

Maan went to the kitchen and stood back of Geet and placed the gift in front of her.. Geet closed her eyes in disbielf'. She has now to take strong step to discourage him or to bring a real him'. unmasked'.or she will not be able to handle his closeness'. How much she hated this she has to do it'

 

"le lo na, gift he to hai' bass iske baad pareshan nahi karonga"

 

She took it from his hand and directly threw it in the trash' this was big step she had taken' she knew the reaction can be very dreadfull but she wanted to see it' this misleading behaviour was killing her'.

 

Maan just quietly went to the trash and took out the box'..

 

"It will wait for your acceptance" he smiled and left'

 

Geet just stood there in disbelief' this was a complete unexpected act from person like Maan' she actually got scared, he surely was upto something' she knew Maan too well and from too long to believe in what he did' this was entirely opposite him.
