Chapter 25

Geet: "Maan I will tell you the part of my truth that I know….. and how I feel about it…."

Maan: "are you sure you want to tell it out….. I mean I will like to know it as if things are hidden from me this way and it keep troubling you I will not even know how to help you out…. In that case may be instead of helping you sometimes I may end up hurting you"

Geet: "Maan.. I wish from all my heart to say everything to you…. I want to be yours completely and this will happen only if I tell you my bitter truth…. But if I loose my strength in middle on after telling you everything…will you"

Maan: "I am with you always Geet and most I want to know all this is for you… so that I can be there for you always…. You don't need to ask me that…. I will always be your strength"

Geet was overwhelmed that Maan understood her and her needs so well that she don't even need to ask anything from him….. Geet decides in her mind "Main abhi aur isi waqt… apnee zindagee apke naam kertee hoon ….. Abb yeh Geet aapkeliye jiyegee Maan…. Abb apkee  saree wishes… big or small mere ser aankoo per…" She was just looking at Maan…. Admiring him

But then she realized that Maan really looked a little tired… but he will not tell her..

Geet: "Main ek mint aayee….." and she went downstairs and came with a bowl

Maan: "what's this…."

Geet: "you look so tired and you don't even bother to tell me…. Main apke ser pe haalkee masage ker deti hoon… you will feel better…. And then we will talk…."

Maan smiled at the thought of Geet giving him massage:"Geet I am Ok… it's just due to drive and then dust….. I am fine…. Tum apnee baten nahi batane ka bahana dhoond rahee hoo…"

Geet:"Nahi Maan… main bohut achche se ker doongee… aram milega aapko… and then I am going to tell you everything"

Maan suddenly felt like teasing Geet… he wanted to lighten her Mood before and after her story

Maan: "Anyways…. when we reach Delhi I will go to massage centre and will get it there…. They have nice professional girls… they do real good job….."

Geet shot back: "ohhh really… so you are going to get Massage from the professional girls… who gair ladkiya apko … chi main to soch bhi nahi saktee…. Ohh and that's why you don't want me to do it…. Right??"

Now Maan was having fun… he was coming in full mood…. he himself did not know how he knew Geet so well… he was expecting this reaction and he got it….

Maan: "you are not getting it….. they are just professional girls Geet… they really know how to put hands on your body and get your muscles relaxed….. you can come with me and have it too….."

Geet: "so you want me to come with you and see how those girls apply massage on you… chi chi Babaji…."

Maan: "Geet you are just over reacting…. Those are just professionals….."

Geet got completely hyper

Geet: "I don't want to listen anything….. main aapke sir pe ker rahee hoon na…"

Maan: "sir to theek hai per…."

Geet:"tou kya… theek hai, Delhi jaker … jaker…(hesitates) I will do on your legs and hands too…. You don't need to go to any massage center… those professionals can never do better then we villagers… got it…. "

Now it was getting tough for Maan to control his laughter….

Maan :"sure got it but sir, haath aur pair hee na…. you know those professionals… you know I mean whole body get relaxed….."

Geet: "haan tou shadi ke baad main bhi….. chi Maan….. OMG you are laughing…. You are making fun of me…. Jaiye mujhe aapse koi baat hee nahi kernee….. kya kya bulwa diya mere muh se….. Babaji…."

Geet just got up and went to the boundry of terrace… Maan was laughing uncontrolabally…

He came and stood near her still in laugh: "Geet you are so funny….."

While Maan was laughing Geet looked at him…. The thought of someone else touching his muscles disturbed her…. she knew now that he was joking but the thought of it only disturbed her….. She had seen him shirtless and knew how it felt to even be near him when he is shirtless…. A sudden desire arose in her to touch him that way…. To own him… he was hers and she was his…. How many times Maan had tried to reduce the distance between them but she had pushed him away…..

She looked at his features…. His well shaped lips… his sharp and well shaped nose… his captivating eyes…. They were all hers….. at this moment she just wished that Maan made one request and she will give up to him….. but it was all her doing that he was not asking for any favor even in this beautiful night….. she has to show him she loved him… that she was ready…..

Maan turned towards her unknowing of what was going within her mind…. He came close and placed a soft kiss on her cheek…. A current ran thru her…. how could he give her this at the time she really needed it but Maan suddenly said :" this is Thank you for such wonderfull  promises you just made… promise rakhna hnnn"

He was kidding not having a single idea of what Geet was going thru….

Maan: " Geet mujhe sachi sir dard ho raha hai….  Will I get a massage on head…. Abhi ke liye utna hee"

Just because of her wild thoughts Geet was out of word….

Geet: "aaiye na Maan…. Aap khat pe bathiye main kertee hoon…" she sat near him and he wanted to lay down…. He wanted to be as much near her when she is telling her story so that she forgets her pain…. He showed fingers to her lap…

"yahan pe sir rakhoon….."

Geet felt that suddenly somebody was listening to her wishes and making it true….

It was her turn to show intitiative…. Show him he has rights on her

Geet: "Izzazat kyun mangte hain aap sabbhi baatoon me… mujhpe haq nahi hai kya aapka??"

He placed his head on her lap and she felt that she has won the world…. He shifted his head and she directly felt it on her muscles within… his top two buttons were unbuttoned and she could see his chest and his muscles over there….. a desire flew within her to to put her hand swiftly within his shirt to his chest…..

Maan was her… she was constantly telling herself

Maan:"haan… now start…"

Geet was so much lost in him and her thoughts :"kya…"

Maan:"what kya… my head Massage and you story….. Geet… it will be hard… but just try to focus on your life with me… think about my love for you and tell the story just as story…. The less you give it emotion the less pain it will give you"

Geet was already in the state of what Maan had asked her to do… she was lost in him… lost in his desires… his love…. that all pain already seemed so small… the hatred that she had seemed small… did her love for him had that power that it can overcome the lifelong hatred…. All her pain seemed small in exchange of his one touch…. A passionate one she thought… what had happened to her suddenly was beyond her understanding….

She started Massaging his head with her soft hand…. Gently and then hardly…. Giving him her best….

Geet:"Maan I will tell you everything"

Maan said nothing he was just lost in her touch and he did not want to interfere in her story too… she he quietly listened….

Geet begins….

Geet:"You know Maan….1^st I knew nothing… then as I  kept growing up I felt that I was been given some special treatment at home and also others elders of village… They all took care that I was the one who was brought up best…. They gave me best… everyone….

I liked it but felt little separated…. Slowly this thing started disturbing me… and my baba realised it… he knew Dadima will come one day and claim me and then it will a more shock for me so he decided to tell the truth to me one day"

Geet:"I was brought to Baba from dadima…. I was asix month old child and had been abandoned from my family… he did not know the reason… to save my life and some promise that Dadima had given to someone she gave me to Baba where she felt I will be safe…. Baba was sad for me but was happy to get a daughter… Dadima also donated all her land to this village just because they were taking care of me….. I never new her name until she came one day to claim me…. "

Geet:"My family abandoned me…. This is the pain that haunts me and I can never forgive those people…. I never want to know who they are…. As it is always good to hate someone you have not seen rather than if you know them…."

Geet:"When I was brought… my arms had bandage… they had made birth mark on me…. I so much attempted to remove these mark but Baba would not let me do so….. Dadima had also brought a suitcase with me which have.. maybe stuff related to my birth or my family

But Baba was asked not to open it untill I was 18 and if I it was my wish to see it….. When I came to know about it I just wanted to throw it away…. I did not want any symbol from people who have abandoned me….. But baba would not let me do so… so it was just placed as junk for me….

 I just wish any one from that family does not come in my contact as I don't know if they come what will happen to me or what will I do or say to them"

This is all I know and feel….. telling Maan everything she felt relaxed and relieved… opposite of what she had been imaging all along…

Maan got from her lap :"your family abandoned you…. But why…. Shit… I can't believe it.. A family abandoning their own child….  The thought fill me with hatred….."

Tears rolled down Geet's cheek and Maan wiped then with his palm…..

Maan: "don't cry for those shit people Geet…. You know what…. they did not deserve the Gem like you… you belong here to your Baba…. He is your only dad Geet… don't disrespect his love by thinking about those ppl…. They don't even deserve your hatred… they are nothing to you…. Got it…"

Geet could not stop…. She just hugged Maan…

Maan:"is the love of your family here, my love for you and my family love for you is weak enough that the thought of those ppl overpower you…."

She separated herself from Maan and nodded her head in NO…. "I will never think about those ppl now Maan…. "

Geet kept quiet for a while:" I want to get lost in your love Maan, lost in you so that even if someone from them even come infront of me… I will not care….. Maan I want to be lost in your world"

Maan could not believe his ears – was he getting the correct meaning of what Geet was telling…. Or was he over imagining the things due to his desire….

Maan did not know what to say, he kissed on her forehead and asked her to go to sleep… they had to leave early morning…..

After Geet left

Maan(st):"I need to talk to Dadima….. I will not spare those who have guts to give such pain to my Geet…. Maan sigh Khurana kee Geet… meri Geet"
