Part 31
Girls -Haan Sai baat hai. Kya hi kar legi Sheena. Maan toh bas tumhara hai. Baaki log to achoot h hain uske liye
All of them are giggling while teasing Geet
Geet lekin digest nahi kar pa rahi ki kya hua
Jab woh girne wali thi tab Maan kahan se teleport hokar usko help kiya.. Aur abhi yeh....
Is it.... ?
She actually thinks back ki actually mein Maan apna personal space kisi se share nahi karta.
He always stands at least on an arm’s distance away from everyone... except herself?
Huh?
Is Maan close to her?
HUH???
What? Isn't Sheena every guy’s fantasy? Maan rejected her so brutally?
Geet is at loss of words even in her thoughts
+++++
As they come home in the taxi, Geet is looking out of the window
Her face has a little happy smile
The stars look brighter, the wind feels pleasant on her skin, the lull of the night sounds like a melodious music
‘It was fun’
She hears him speak
She turns to look at him and nods
He smiles back looking relaxed
+++++++
They enter home and start to change
G- Suno!
He looks over his shoulder
She turns her gaze at the saree pins, asking for his help through her eyes
He walks towards her and the close to her gently undoing the safety pins on her saree
Maan is very aware of their closeness
Geet can feel his warm breath on her skin
M- Are you tired?
He asks after he is done undoing her last safety pin
G- Hmm
He nods
M- Take rest then. Sleep well
She nods
She changes to her comfortable clothes and removes her makeup and goes to her bed, while Maan lays down on his bed on the floor
++++++
Geet ki need khulti hai
Its 3 am
She sits up to go the washroom but doesn’t find Maan at his usual position
She looks around the whole house
Its raining heavily
Maan is no where to be found
She wonders, has he left her
But his stuff was intact
Geet hears the main door open
She looks at the direction to
She sees a person’s profile in a dark long raincoat with a hoodie
The raincoat is drenched, and water is dripping
The hoodie is casting a shadow on the face, so the face is not visible
Geet is alarmed
She quickly turns on the light of the room to see better
Maan looks at her with surprise as if he caught him off guard
G- Tum…itni raat ko kahan gaye the?
He is gazing at her but today his gaze looks different…somewhat unsettling
He takes out a can of beer
M- I got beer.
G -Tumhe peene ki aadat hoti jaa rahi hai!
He smirks
++++++++++
Next day while in the bus for her office, Geet fishes out her other phone
It has become difficult to check her other phone since Maan was staying with her
She quickly switches it on
She quickly finds the single message
Message means there is a new case
She always eagerly waited for the message on the phone
But this time reading the message casts horror on her face
Message said:
Abhijeet is killed. Time of death 2:30 am yesterday. The left thumbnail pulled off
She knew what this meant
This meant this won’t stop
The serial killer is back
+++++++
Her public phone also beeps
I have booked tickets for us tomorrow to visit your home for your sister’s wedding
The message is from Maan
