Dadimaa was complaining to Annie... "App dekhe rahi hai... Annie... !!! Maan or Geet ko humara tu koi khyal hii nahi hai... aaj unhe Dinner per bulaya hai per... inka tu kuch..."
Dadimaa startled with Maan's voice... "Arre Geet suno tu..."
"App baat mat kijiye... mujhse... jab dekho mujhse chidate hai... tang karte hai... tease karte hai..." she entered in the mansion with long face and pouting lips...
Annie bites her cheek to see their usual bickering n Dadimaa just sat there with her palm on her forehead. She just doesn't understand both of them... she always found them fighting, arguing or pulling each other... if the baby wasn't there than she would suspected them as hardcore enemy.
"Dadimaa.. app bole du inhe... mujhse nahi Rehna inke saath.." Geet folded her hands to chest and dragging glares to Maan...
"Hume tu samjhe nahi aata hai... apko inse dur kare tu app ka oxigen level low hu jaata hai or app faint hu jaati hai1... inke pass rakhe hai tu apka BP high hu jaata hai..." Geet pouted with Dadimaa's scolding and made a baby face... Maan chuckled to see that her plan has been flopped to get him scold by Dadi but his smile wasn't for long...
"Aur Maan app... ek tu app ke irresponsible behaviour ki vajah se... Geet pregnant hai or unka khyal rakhne ke jagha... app unhe saatha rahe hai... ye sab kya bachpana hai..."
"Dadi.. meri baat Suniye... aisa"
"Aaj app humari baat Suniye Mr. Khurana if one more complain... Means just one more... complain I would get from Geet than... she will live here with us... bhout hu gayi apki manmaani..."
Now geet was standing behind Dadimaa and grinning like a fool... Maan warned her with eye but there isn't any change in Geet's expressions... Maan was just waiting for Dadi to get distracted so he can get his hold on Geet and his sister... that both forget to mess with Maan khurana.
Dadimaa got frustrate with Maan's distracted behaviour... she turned to see his object of interest and found the typical teenager Girlfriend of his.. Almost she is just 22 and that too just a number... is dangling on her legs with an idiot big grin on her face.
Now Maan smiled and signal Geet with his eye...
Dadi just shook her head in irritating " Humne 2 Kinden garden ke bacho ko ek saath bandh diya hai..." and left from there to see the preparation of dinner...
Maan stride toward Geet in the pretext to get a hold on her but she escaped after sensing upcoming danger...
"Kab tak bhaago gii Geet... aao gii tu out house hii naa..."
Annie and Geet started their usual chatting n blabbering and Maan went to the study to check on Dev and check on Projects files that has been handled by him.
He hates Nainatara but couldn't help with the soft corner, he has for Dev... He loves his siblings to the core... That's Why... he has accepted a misfit Nainatara too in their family so Dev could get his love of life.
*************
They all are seating around the giant ancient oak dining table to be fit for 50 guests as one. Maan as usual got the place of "head of the family" and Geet at his left side chair and Dadi on right side... And others too took the chairs next to Dadi and Geet...
It's just few occasions that Maan joined them for Dinner... and seeing him on the place of "head" just burnt inside out... of Nainatara. It's easy to accept Dadi as Head but she wants to see Dev at Maan's place and herself on Geet's place.
"Kuch bhi kahiye Geet... par Dadimaa nai apko apna liya... jabki app tu Shaadi se phele hii..." that cunning smile on her face gave away those unsaid words of shameful accusation.
"NAINATARA..."
both Maan and Dev had interrupted her at same time and Geet just deeper her head down... As few tears roll down from her almond khol filled eye.
Maan just can't imagine seeing his love like this... Guilty and shameful..
But Dadimaa interrupted the cold war... "vo kya hai naa Nainatara... humare Maan ka vaada ... apke or Dev ke saath phero ke rishte se jyaad Sacha or Pavitra hai... or Humari Geet... Subha ki ouss ki bond (Dew drop) ki tarah... kisi bhi banavat se dur... or app ko shayad ye yaad nahi... ki isse ghar ki bahu... apne jethe (elder brother in law)ke samne sar per pallu le kar rahti hai... humne tu apko bhi kaafi privilege dii hui hai..."
The silent warning in such regal way made Maan's anger cool down little bit and Geet smiled to see Dadimaa's eyes are justifying her words too.
Geet left with Annie after Dinner to get some rest as Dadimaa has summoned Maan in her study... and she has to wait for him to go back to outhouse... "Their paradise"
Geet couldn't help but pondering over the Nainatara 's gross words about her... She couldn't help but differed to her past..
********
A young girl in shorts n Tee was crying badly with tailing a suitcase behind her... She was devastated by her only relation presented in this world... She can't have imagined about today... Her uncle n Aunty was trapping her from childhood now they want the fruit of their care for Geet... From asking her to be smitten to their 56 yrs old Boss... they were growing up her just to sell her at the right time to their boss lust at the name of so called marriage...
She has decided to choose die over their limping boss... and she has left their so called flat without any idea of destination. She has landed in Greece after completing her graduation in India... She was living with her neighbour after her family death... she has support of her uncle but he has requested her to stay back in India as his job and stay isn't stable... He had taken care of her expenses but she was a scholarship student with reputed university... she too agreed with their demand.
Just few days back they had call her to Greece and asked her to live with them... she happily moved to Greece as she was tired to living a pay-in-guest life from last 10 yrs.
Here she enjoyed her initial days... She was trapped in their sweet behaviour and signed the "power of attorney" on her uncle name... She has a giant Haveli of her parent's in a village near Hoshiyaar pur... Its costs in millions in current market... in the pretext to sell it for Geet's further education... Her uncle asked "power of attorney".
She was trapped now she has nothing but to bent in front of their gross act... but she decided to die instead of become a prey of them...
She left their place with her suitcase n passport with few penny... she had... she isn't even a citizen of this country and she will be thrown out after her visa will be expired... she was expecting a student visa.. before but now scenario has been changed drastically.
She has come on footpath... in a unknown country. Tears clouded her eye as sky started to turn into the darker shades and people started to left to get into their cozy home for a peaceful night.. she doesn't want to break down but she did... she run.. and run till the time she has reached a lonely place to cry her heart out.
She isn't so fluent in English too... nor the people know her... neither they understand her language well... how she suppose to survive and this is same thought has diagonally hit to her uncle... who is sipping his wine and expectations a knock on the door soon very soon.
*****************
Maan was on vacation to Greece one n half yr before... He chooses to run away after performing "Anniversary" of his Parents death... He just spends some time with himself to gather himself... And take a break every year... He is an introverted personality and very different from his siblings... Roaming around the lonely roads was his favourite divertissement... in the unknown country...
It's hard to believe that "The business tycoon Maan Singh Khurana" could roam around the streets without security fence him, with a dangling long coat on his shoulder, Glasses on eye and unshaven face wasn't much attractive to make his presence notice by paparazzi.
He noticed the unwanted scenario at the dark alley... He tried to pass but a meek painful voice took him there, unwillingly.
He raised an eyebrow to see almost 4 well built men was has circled a damsel... actually "damsel in distress" at the moment.
As soon as damsel got her sense back she run into him and hold him around the neck for her dear life... she is literally dangling with the support of his broad shoulders... due to the difference in their height.
He couldn't help but pull her behind him before turned back his attention to those four unwanted intruders...
Well, they too are thinking same for him "intruder" in their pleasure... but he can't help but to show them... who is in charge... with a punch direct... that one has landed back on other three... they were shocked... but Maan pull the damsel with him and both run with their dear life.
After running for almost 15 minutes both are back on the busy roads... and stop to calm there ragged breath.
Now, Maan finally able to see that girl... who is looking more a teenager brat in her shorts n Tee... He amused to see her accusing look...
"Hey... you ok??"
"Indian..???" the girl spoke...
"Umm.. yaa.." he gave her a confused look..
"You supposed to knock out them... not to run away" she was accusing him straight in actual... He looked her in disbelief.
Maan started to walk away "Haa kyu nahi... unhe marta or phir aadhe Grecce ko pata chal jata... Maan khurana is in Greece..." he imagined himself trapped between high profile party's n meetings.
Geet looked him in disbelief... "Kaisa admi hai ye... Krishna jii" she doesn't know... where to go... she is running out of money... neither she has shelter to spend the night... she gave a helpless look to her dark sky to Krishna jii...
When she was tapped by someone from behind... She looked back all scared and found an officer in uniform there...
(Kya socha tha Maan hoga- author wink heheheh)
"What are you doing here miss... ??"
"I am... I am..."
Officer got suspicious and with a deep look...
"Your I'd card madam..."
"I am sorry officer... I lost my bag and..." Geet cried helplessly, this is the last think she wants face... an encounter with cop.
"Sorry Mam !!!! you have to come with me... for further" he stopped for a moment
"Any problem... officer.." Geet was surprised and turn to see her saviour was back to her... she sighed in relief... like they are going to run away again... she just loved this idea this time... she gave a puppy look to him...
"Sir... I found her suspicious... umm do you know her..??"
"Yes officer...!!! She is with me... actually we want help as some rouge has snatched her bag n tried to misbehaved with her in back alley.." Maan point back and said confidentiality...
Officer asked his I'd and after checking it... he was shocked and left them... "We will look for her bag... sir doesn't worry... will meet you at your Hotel"... "Maan Singh Khurana" Name was enough to send shiver into the bodies of intruders/
Maan waited till the officer was out of his sight... He turned to see back the damsel giving him questioning looks like before... "How do you know about bag.??"
"I have eyes... miss..." he pointed the incident when he noticed her and a suitcase in her hand.
She gave him a thoughtful look... "Yaar... tum kitne smart hu... aise hii bhaga diya usse officer ko"
Maan rolled her eye and ask her "Where do you live...? Let me drop you before you land yourself in something horrendous" now Geet noticed a two sitter car behind him... Ohh so he left to get his car for us..
"Are you going to answer me.. or should I leave??" He raised his one eyebrow in threat.
"Nahi.. vo.. I will mange.. thank you" she said meekly... Maan took the clue and turned to leave when he notice her to settle back there on footpath... with dishevelled face.
He didn't have heart to leave her here to become a prey of rouge... again.
"Tum pagal hu kya.. raat ke 2 baje... tumhe yeha baithna hai... miss go to your home... right now" Maan rose her up and made her stand... anger was visible on his masculine face.
"Yeha tu phir bhi chance hai... that I am safe... ghar per tu vo..." she spoke in trance n next moment control herself... to not to disclosed everything to a stranger.
Maan just doesn't know... what come on him that he pull her with him and made her into the passenger seat before... Closing the gate loudly... after taking driver seat the car zoomed off...
"Please app kaha le jaa rahe hu mujhse..."
"Please let me go... I am not your type" she sobbed and attracts his attention
"Yes, you are not... Because I am not interested in kids" he pointed a look... she was taken back... Ohh man she is 21 not a kid... that insulting.
"I am not a kid" she protest meekly.
"Are you inviting me??" He smirked to see her embarrass expressions... at least she is quite due to embarrassment.
She doesn't know... Why has she trusted this stranger?? And he doesn't know... why has he not left her and move to his own way?
He doesn't even see her face fully... and here he is putting him in danger... Off course if he would help someone unknown... Than it could lead him to unwanted issue... she could be a criminal too.
He just put back all logic's behind and speeds up the car to reach back to his hotel and make his team to check upon her background before getting involve with her.
******
Geet was amused with grandeur of the hotel... he stay in... but this stranger was nowhere from the time she had opened her eye... she pressurized her brain to think about last night... but make out that she might be slept in his car and he had carried her into the hotel...
She was amused with perfection n care... she received in his hospitality... she got her breakfast, brunch n lunch on time but she had no idea about her intruder... It's seems like... He was everywhere n nowhere... this little girl doesn't have any idea about her host... Who is known most eligible bachelor in the world... She doesn't have any idea that has made his way in her heart when she is only 14 yrs old... she doesn't has any idea that he is same Maan khurana the entrepreneur .. who has been praised too much by her old favorite school teacher..
She has no idea that he is same man, whose teeth she wants to break just to be the first favorite one of her beloved teachers.
She has actually no idea... why is she here into a stranger room? Why is she waiting for his one glimpse... From the morning and billion dollars question is... What will she do with her life now onward without a single penny, cloth n shelter... She is in mess but still she engrossed in her savior thought to realize all the problems... she is going to face... once she is out of this protection.
Her eye are lively... her expressions are enough to make him laugh loud and above all this that frown on her cute face... was something ... he wants to crease amiably... He observed her for few minutes before getting her attention on him.
He was surprised with her massive welcoming smile... "hmmm... look like he has impressed damsel with the my hospitality"
He made a way to her and she rose from her place... She is actually running out of words... she doesn't has idea to... where to start...
"Should I thank him and leave...?? What will he think??? I am bimbo. . Type.. but where should I go??? Meri bag???" All questions clouded her brain... but Maan has sensed her dilemma as by the noon only... he has received a report about her whole history and he knew she has no one in this world... neither she has anything to feed herself and keep herself safe... she was betrayed by her so called relatives and lost whatever property she has... in her naivety.
"Well... if you have enough of dangling on your legs than stop and listen to me" Maan took a wine bottle before settling on the couch in front of her...
After getting her attention... He spoke in his usual stern tone
"I have a proposition for you"
