Part 51
Geet woke up the next day when she felt her head pounding, she clutched her head in pain.
"Ahhhh" She pressed her forehead with her fingertips to relieve the pain.
"You are awake, Here take this" Maan's calm and soft voice came beside her startling her. She looked up at him to see him wearing a blue shirt with the top three buttons undone. His hair Messy as if he had run his fingers through it many times. His biceps bulging off his shirt, His Dark brown eyes looking at her with pain and some guilt? But before she could make sure his face became blank and calm.
She looked at his extending hand of water and immediately took it as she felt her throat go dry. She frowned when she felt the water somewhat bitter.
"Ohh I have mixed some herbal medicine to relieve your headache" She frowned hearing him. Why did he feel so concerned for her?? She wanted to know what took place yesterday, but her mind was all blank!!
She stood up and placed her feet on the ground but a gasp left her lips as she found herself in Maan's White Shirt reaching just above her knees. Maan's Eyes went to her creamy legs and tore his gaze away. He gulped hard. She looked damn took beautiful in just his shirt, A few strands of her hair fell on her forehead covering her crimson face.
Maan's eyes immediately filled with regret as he thought of how his ignorance had hurt her. It was only him to be blamed
Flashback
"I don't know where to start beta! I really feel guilty to even talk " Mohinder said his voice filled with pain.
"Pa- papaji Aap yei kya keh rahe haii?" Maan said in Shock as he looked confused.
"I know I should have said this before but I didnt have it in myself to say you this" Mohinder Said painfully while Maan remained calm letting him finish.
"I have observed you two since wedding I thought that Maybe you both have cleared off all your misunderstandings but when my daughter came home two weeks back being so gloomy and Silent I knew something was wrong with you both. And when you didnt come to receive her I was sure." Mohinder said gulping while Maan looked away in shame.
"It was all because of me!!" Mohinder said while Maan looked at him suddenly.
"I was not a believer of Love Marriages and I made a promise with her that she wouldn't give in to love and She accepted!!" He said Making Maan look at him in shock .
"I feared love marriages and in our society it's believed that Love marriages were a mistakes and I never wanted my Son and Daughters to get in love" His voice Filled with pain and eyes with memories of how his own brothers daughters love marriage was a failure and he feared same may happen to Geet he couldn't afford to look at her daughter with such misery and agony!!
"And When she came back from Shimla she was not herself so I asked her what was it that made her so gloomy? And She said about you, How she was madly in love with you since childhood but my promise made her to hold back herself in expressing her love to you so she defied you and hurt you but more than you, she was angry upon herself " Mohinder said. And Maan Moved back in shock of knowing that she was in love with him since their childhood!!
"She blamed herself for hurting you!!! Betaa. She couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and Looking at her Like that I feel too much of guilt beta, I'm sorry beta. looking at my daughter like this I couldn't hold back now I want my daughter to be happy "
Maan Havent heard the word after it! It was too much for him. Too much too take in. She Rejected him just to Keep her word given to her Father. Her love was so much more than him!!! He was Her Childhood love!!! If he wanted he could have pursued her back then, But he didn't all he did was blame her that she broke his heart. how insensitive and greedy could he get! All he thought about was himself! He didn't see her reasons. A wave of Remore hit him hard!
"It's a teenage love actually, i realized that I was in love with him after he left the school, so never got a chance to confess my love to him. I didn't even know what is love back then but got to know it by coming days that I missed him terribly and I wanted him beside me always... But things Never happens as we want it.. I moved on.. And I would say it's one sided love"
When she uttered these words back in shimla while playing Truth or dare he didn't once believe that it was HIM! It was him that she loved in her childhood! He gulped Hard knowing how stupid he can get . And whenever she confessed her love to him after their marriage he didn't believe her he thought it was all a lie because he knew she was in love with his childhood friend and now when he know the truth behind her rejection he didn't know what to do and where to start!! Did he deserve her selflessness??? even after pushing her away too many times she did come back only to him!! He closed his eyes as a drop of tear dropped down his cheek.
And when she was Finally his why did he hesitate to give his love to her? No!! He will win her back!? He win her love back he determined but was it easy!?
"I will never let you go again Geet I will win you back"

Maan came out of his thoughts when he heard her!
"What happened last night? Why don't I remember anything?" Geet asked pressing her forehead with her fingertips
"Do you still feel the pain? Shall I... Ummm shall I give you head massage?" Maan asked concerned.
"No it's ok, I should Get back to home " Geet said looking around for her clothes.
"NOOOO" Maan yelled clutching her wrist bringing her closer all of a sudden that geet gasped.
"You can't leave me" He ordered looking to and fro between her hazy eyes. He feared he may lose her again if he let her go! His chest pressing on to hers.
"What!!! You can't order me what to do and what not to do!" Geet yelled back, anger Dripping her voice.
Maan gulped as he didn't know what to do to keep her close to him never letting her go. His mind soon conspired a few ideas and he found one, he smirked coming close to her ear. His lips touching her ear lobe and a shiver went down her spine!
"So you want to go?" Maan whispered huskily and moved back starting at her.

"So Mrs khurana chale?? " Maan asked smirking at her moving towards her with a luggage.
"What where?" Geet questioned looking confused.
"You have made a deal that if you come back to KM then you will make me stay in your house for 2 weeks! Bhool gayi?" Maan smirked while Geet looked flabbergasted and
"What's with you and your smirking. And this concern!??.. You don't look like my cold husband go away.. Shoo shoo..." Geet frowned moving away from him. But Maan blocked her by placing his arms on either side of her head.
"Kaisii biwi go tum? Yaha par your husband is asking you to take advantage of him and you are rejecting" He tsked making a dramatic face.
Geet looked at him as if he had grown two heads. She looked at him and smirked mentally I will torture you so much that you will be begging me to let you get away from my house!!
