OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Part 41

Sorry. Sorry for the delay. I lost my father and lost my mind along with him in october. Life has certain turns and milestone which upset your heart. Bringing everything to normal takes time. Somethings may never come back to normal. but as it is said Life goes on....

I have sat on my laptop for the first time since then. I have watched I dnt know how many serials in this phase... indian, pakistani, turkish, Korean in this time frame. I have forgotten their names, story, plot. but went on and on.  There were umpteen messages from you all. I know you all missed the story.

Now I felt that I can write again and I am back. I am back for good.

Sorry again to keep you all unposted and waiting. Sorry.

The chirping of birds broke his peaceful sleep. He opened his eyes to soft sunlight glowing red on the terrace. None knew who slept first in whose arms. He lay cuddled up with Geet. They were both holding on to each other as anchors of their lives. The cold winds made them cuddle as they slept there itself on the cold white floor. Maan smiled as he realized how peacefully he had slept last night. Revealing his past to Geet was the biggest burden he had got over with. He tried to get up and she clutched her sweetu which both had used as a pillow last night and nudged on it. He lifted her and took her to her room, made her sleep there after placing the comforter over her.

She woke up lazily feeling the warmth of her bed but something was amiss. She looked around she was in her room with her sweetu tucked close to her but still something was missing. Memories of last night flooded her mind. She remembered sleeping in Maan's arms on the terrace. She had woken up sometime at night and seen him holding her really close and had decided to sleep there with him. She smiled...... that he has placed her here and made her sleep. She looked at the time, she had overslept, it was more than 10. She never slept so late. Was it the satisfaction of knowing the truth or the anxiety it created that made her sleep for so long? Or was it sleeping in his arms that sedated her?

She went down straight way searching for Maan. Nakul informed her that he left for office on his usual time but had called to enquire if she had woken up.

# He cares but never shows... but why didn't he call me on my mobile? Akdoo cant say I care. #

Geet went back to her room and sat to study. She was on leave for few days owing to her exams beginning next day. She studied for sometime but last night's incidence kept coming to her again and again. It was lunch time when she heard Maan call Nakul to enquire about her.

Geet shook her head. Look all authority and mean behaviour has gone to vain. Wont ask me but will ask Nakul. What will Nakul think?

Maan had opened her contact no. umpteen times to call her but hesitated as he didn't know why she is not in office. When he couldnt bear it anymore he enquired from Nakul who reported she is fine, not sick and in her room.

Geet picked up her phone to inform him and juggled with the no. so many times thinking what will she answer if he questions or talks anything else. After much pondering she texted him.

Wont be at office today... I am on leave.

Immediately came the reply.

Ok but why?

Exams. I have my papers from tomorrow.

Ok. Study. Tell me if you need help.

Sure.

Geet sat on her study table and looked towards the terrace remembering his words.

He loved her... did he... Maan singh Khurana, Business shark kehte hain isse log, aur personal life mein koi isse kitna use kar sakta. How can someone fool him? He blindly believed her... It was a trap since the first day... fool got into it but he is someone who keeps doubting anyone's intention when you meet. May be he has become this way after her. Now he does, he doubts everyone, he had his set of doubts about me too... he was so badly cheated from day one to the last....... She used his money and I dnt think anything else mattered to her.. bechara use friend banaya and then she cheated him after proposing him.... his baby.............
