                Part – 17

Maan let's his ladylove to lead while he closely follows her... He likes to admire her from every possible angle... 

It's been ages since he had a chance to be with her... 

Geet hesitates for a moment looking around... 

Geet is a little scared looking at that place….

It’s a restaurant only… .

Everything is set, only the two of them are there…

No one would come and disturb them….

Maan serves the food himself…

Geet: hum kahin aur bhi chal sakte the

Maan: par tumme toh privai pasand haina? Issiliye, ab yahan sirf hum dono hai

Geet ko iss privacy bilkul pasand nahi hai….

Geet jaldhi jaldhi khathi hai..

She couldn’t even eat fast with Maan staring at her like that. .

After a half hour long staring session, Geet is out of her torture….

Maan drops her just before 10, as she insisted….

That night Geet couldn’t sleep…

She was reminded of what Maan said in the morning…

Is he still thinking about those times?

Even Geet keeps going back to those times often… but there is a huge difference between the way these two think about that time they spent together….

Geet too goes back in the memory lane once again…

Back to the past…

College days…

That time when Maneet stayed at the Handa house…

It all started to look good for Geet again….

She was slowly coming back to her normal life after she started going to college…

She made a new friend, Pinky and was more comfortable at college too…

Annie was always there for Geet, she was like her personal bodyguard both at college and at home too…

But still Geet wanted to stay away from Maan… she was scared of him like always…

His unexpected peeking into her personal space always annoyed Geet…

But , Geet thought that it was out of his caring and protective nature, Geet was thinking that he looked after her just like he looked after Annie ..

But how wrong she was!!!

After she came back from Amritsar, she could see very well that Maan had changed.. a lot…

Maan’s eyes kept following her like a hidden camera…

She had a tough time escaping from them…

She had a very bad experience back in that stupid village, that so called mangetar of hers, that jerk looked at her like she was his play doll, like he owns her, physically, he had the audacity to look at her with bad intentions even in front of others… she felt like her whole body was burning when he looked at her… that was like hell… glad that she escaped…

Maan was different, he was more polished… you know, he is from a raised society, the fake gentleman… haina?

He had a different effect on her, or she was a fool to have respected him as Annie’s brother and trusted him blindly as a gentleman….

Geet kept avoiding him as much as possible for she felt uncomfortable whenever he was around, always watching her with those yearning eyes that were dangerously demanding… he had the authority to command her, she was timid and helpless then…

Geet kept running away from him, for in the beginning, she was also attracted by him, why not? He was not a stranger and she had known him from childhood… he was and still is the most eligible man, off course any girl would want someone like him in her life, from the outside, Geet was no exception…

Maan gave her some freedom initially, she had gone through so much and just then started to live a normal life, she had to enjoy her life just like any other girl..

After a couple of weeks Annie went on a tour with her class..

Geet had to stay with Maan alone at the apartment…

Maan has been waiting for such an opportunity only…

But Geet had been avoiding him completely and escaping from his sight all the while…

Moreover, Maan was bound to stay in his limits when Annie was there, with Annie gone Maan had no restrictions whatsoever ….

Geet asked, no no, pleaded Pinky to come and stay at the apartment until Annie returned…

Pinky came and stayed there for a couple of days … but then her papaji fell ill and she went back to her house…

Knowing that Geet was uncomfortable staying alone with him and her friend was also there, Maan maintained a safe distance from her…

Manisha was there, he came in the morning, and left in the evening after preparing dinner..

When they were alone, Maan made it a point to have dinner with Geet for he knew that whenever she was left on her own she always goes back to her past and starts sulking…

Maan would just inquire about the day at college and Geet would answer in very few words..

That weekend Manisha went on leave to attend some wedding… and didn’t come for the rest of the week too…

They managed by ordering food from outside…

Then on Sunday Maan decided to make pasta for dinner…

He was used to cooking when he stayed in Mumbai….

Maan needs a sous chef…

He doesn’t need one always, but when one was readily available, why wouldn’t he make use of her?

Maan called Geet and asked her to assist him… .

Geet was not at all liking it …

She is a good cook. .

She learnt to make parathas and some side dishes from her mami… .

If she knew that Maan would turn into a chef himself and torture her like that, she would have made something herself, all alone on her own.

Geet was curious to know what was cooking? Literally… she went to the kitchen to take a look…

Maan was cooking pasta, her favourite too… .

Sheetal makes delicious Alfredo sauce… .

Kiran makes the marinara… that’s the tradition at KM…

Maan was making Alfredo…

Geet kept watching him…

Maan: ye kya tummara Master chef Australia hai, aur tum Matt ho?

Geet blinks….

Maan: you are here to cook

Geet: what?

Maan gives the apron to her…

Geet was ready, she wanted to prove that she was a better cook…

Maan let her cook while he told her how to do it….

Geet was always ready to learn something new, that too it’s her favourite too… she could make it whenever she wanted…

Maan was happy with the taste, not so good as he would make, but ok…

Next day Geet made parathas before Maan could come up with another recipe…

Maan liked her parathas very much…

Maan started to get closer and closer and Geet got used to it without her knowledge…

Or she was only pretending out of fear, that she completely hated him while that was not the truth…

Geet was in the apartment alone the other day…

She locked the main door and was in her room…

She just came out of her shower and was sitting on the bed in the towel…. .

Suddenly she sensed the presence of another person in the room..

She could feel that she was being watched by a pair of hunting eyes…..

Only Maan had a duplicate key to the apartment…

Yes, it’s him, he was there, in her room…

What was he doing there?

When did he come in?

Geet realed that she came out to take the towel from the washroom naked after the shower…

Was he there then? Did he see her?

Within seconds he was near her…

Geet got scared…

Geet started shouting for help… .

Geet: bachao, mujhe bachao

Before she could realize what was happening he jumped over her and closed her mouth with his hands….

Maan: sshhh, chillane se koi faida nahi hai Geet, yahan sirf tum ho aur mein hoon, aur koi nahi hai, issiliye tummare liye yahi achcha hoga ki tum chup chap mere madat karo

Maan is a master task master, he has his own ways to get whatever he wants, he has the habit of fulfilling his wishes somehow….

That’s the damn truth…

Geet was helpless….

Maan: ab mein haath hatatha hoon, jitna chillana hai chillao, par yahan se hilna mat, jab tak mera kaam katam nahi hota tum yahan se hillaoge bhi nahi, samjhi tum?

The lion roared…

Geet couldn’t digest the fact that how weak she was then to have followed his orders in fear like a cornered mouse and let him do whatever he wanted…

As he said he left only after finishing his job…

How could Geet forget all that easily?

Whatever it is, he has to pay for his deeds… it’s payback time…

Geet is determined to finish him… his dream, KC… yes Maan has spent all his time and energy to revive KC… it’s his pride, his success, but Geet would bring it down to ashes..
