Why my heart is so restless Part 5

Geet looked at him.
She was surprised.
"Maan!"
She never thought that she would see him again.She got up from where she was sitting.
"I am sorry Ma'am...i did'nt want to show my face to you.But unexpectedly i saw you cry here.I could not go away ignoring your tears.What happened Ma'am?I can help you".
She continued shedding tears.
She held his arms.Her tears fell on his arms.
"Tuttu was just my dream...a dream which was so shallow...a dream which was only like a lovely bubble.It broke".
Maan was confused.
"Yes,we were good friends.But after reaching teenage i simply dreamt of unnecessary things.I was so crazy that i fell in love with him.I don't know why.But Tuttu loves someone else.He returned to invite me for his wedding.He wanted his special friend ie me to attend his function".
Geet revealed it to him.
Maan was shocked.
He felt sad for her condition.
Slowly he extended his arms and wiped her tears which were rolling down her cheeks.
Slowly she became conscious of what is happening between her and Maan and walked backward.She ran away.

Geet lay on her bed.
"How could i find solace in Maan's arms?How dare he wipe my tears?How could i reveal to him that i was broken completely by Tuttu?No...he is not my Tuttu anymore.He is just Dev Singh Khurana".
She remember her holding his arms and Maan wiping her tears.
"But i cannot deny that i felt better when i shared my worries with him.I felt nice when he wiped my tears.Still why i am not able to admit it openly?May be because i dislike Maan.Why do i hate Maan?Because he cheated me...he fooled me...but he did it only because of me.I insulted him in front of everyone.No man can take that insult easy.I hurt him a lot.I questioned his self respect".
Geet remembers Dev's words,"Money has nothing to do with love.True love is not based on money.You can't buy love with money".
She said,"Dev is richer than me.Still he is so humble and down to earth.For him money is secondary.He believes that money can't buy true love.That is true.I have money.But i could not get his love.He did not fall for my money.He fell for Nandini's golden heart.Dev is going to marry a simple girl.He does'nt care for her financial status.Then why did it matter to me?I am so prowd...arrogant..my thoughts...idea...concept are so narrow".

One month passed....
Geet realized that not even one day passed without thinking of Maan's pathetic mental
state caused by her and Dev's words about love and money.She felt guilty.She realized that more than Dev she was thinking of Maan.She did not know why.
Without thinking twice she dialed Maan's number.For one whole month she hesitated to call him,but not anymore.
Maan could not believe it.
"Ma'am!"
"Maan...i thought a lot.You were a nice employee.Without remembering that i dismissed you.I regret doing that.I don't want your career to get spoiled because of me.Please come back Maan.Please join the office again".
"I am sorry Ma'am.I can't join your office".
Geet felt very upset.
"Don't have regrets or guilty feelings.My career is not spoiled because of you.I got a small job in Dubai.The next Friday i am leaving to Dubai".
Geet was shocked.
Maan is going far away.She did not know why it is hurting her.If he goes when she is sad there won't be anyone to console her.She remembers that she could share with him what she could not share with anyone else.She dud not know what made her share her pain only with Maan.
Both of them were upset.Their tears fell down.

Friday...
"Today Maan is leaving to Dubai".
Geet was becoming restless.
"Why my heart is so restless thinking about him going?"
She thought about it a lot.
"Did i start falling in love with him?No!How can it be possible?But yes..Dev has changed my ideas.He made me realize that a person's financial status does'nt have anything to do with love.Now i am least bothered about Maan's financial status.I have started thinking of his love.His love was true.But i rejected it hurting him very badly".
She went crazy thinking about it.
"No..i should stop him from going.I need him.I need his love.I want to feel true love.But how will i stop him?I don't even know whether he has already left.Now it's 11 o'clock.What's his flight time?No idea.Anyways..i will at least try going to the air port in search of him".
Usually Geet is conscious of her appearance...dressing etc.But without even changing her salwar kameez & hair style and wearing casual jeans and keeping her hair loose Geet rushed to the air port.
Her eyes searched for him in each and every corner.
Finally he saw him sitting alone.
"Maan!"
Maan was surprised to see Geet there.
"Ma'am!"
"I came here to see you only".
He could not believe it.
He saw people getting inside.He saw the 'Departure' board.
"Ma'am... now it's time for me to go inside".
"No Maan..please don't go inside.If you go inside i won't be able to see you.Only passengers can get inside.Right?"
Maan could not understand what she was up to.
"Maan...please don't go to Dubai.Please stay back".
Maan could not believe it.A strong woman like Geet Handa is requesting him not to go.
"Am i dreaming?No.Geet can't do this.She hates me.She hates my financial status.I should not dream anymore.She just needs me for her business needs".
"Maan...i am here not as your Boss Geet Handa,but as your Geet".
Maan was shocked.
"I realized that my heart was becoming restless when you left me...when i left you...I realize that i need you.Only then i can breath"
"Maan was again in shock.
"What do you mean Ma'am?"
"Don't call me 'Ma'am'.Call me Geet.I want you to call me 'Geet',because you are my soul mate".
Maan would have been really happy to hear this if Geet had told these words a few months back.But now he is scared to be happy,because he knows what reality is.There is a lot of difference between him and her.He is not allowed to dream.
"Though i got a job in Dubai i have not become rich.I am just the same.I did'nt make money at all",Maan said.
"I know that you are ridiculing me.I have changed a lot Maan.I realized that money cannot buy true love for me.True love is not based on the person's financial status.I am not bothered about your financial status.I just need you.Because i love you",Geet wept.
Maan could not digest it.
"I am sorry.I have to go now".
"Maan!Please".She pleaded.
But he went inside.
Geet cried.
Maan stood in the queue for checking.
He was becoming restless as his mind was full of her we eyes.
"No..i should not ignore her wet eyes.I won't be a human being if i do that.Because i love her.She has changed a lot.She has started loving me knowing my limitations.She accepts me as i am.Then why should i hide myself from her?"
He ran out.
He saw Geet walking away.
He called her loudly,"Geet Ma'am!"
She turned back.
"I am back Geet Ma'am...only for you".
Geet was surprised.
She ran towards him.
They had a beautiful eye lock.Their eyes were adorned by pearl like shining tears because of happiness.
"Maan...just for me you came back?"
"Yes Geet Ma'am".
"But why?"
"Because i love you".
She became very happy.
"How could you fall in love with an arrogant aggressive lady like me?"
She asked.

"I don't know how i fell in love with you.It just happened".
She smiled.
Slowly he cupped her face in his hands singing
'Kaise bataayein, kyun tujhko chahe, yaara bataa na paaye.
Baatein dilo ki, dekho jo baaki, aankhein tujhe samjhaye.
Tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane na
Milke bhi, hum na mile, tum se na jaane kyun. meelon ke, hai faasle, tum se na jaane kyun. anjaane, hai silsile, tum se na jaane kyun. sapne hai, palkon tale, tum se na jaane kyun.ooo ooo..

Baatein dilo ki, dekho jo baaki, aankhein tujhe samjhaye.
Tu jaane naa..aaa... tu jaane na .. tu jaane na .. tu jaane naaaa... '{Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani}.
They were lost in each other.
"But Maan...never call me Ma'am again.Call me Geet".
Maan smiled,"Yes dear".
They both smiled.

Geet and Maan went for Dev and Nandini's wedding...
Geet wore a brown saree with greenish blue blouse.
Maan could not take his eyes off her.
Geet enjoyed it.But she did'nt show off.
"Maan...control yourself".
"When you are in front of me it's impossible.You are so beautiful".
She blushed.
He touched her curly hair.
"Curly hair is so beautiful on you.I love your curly.It makes you so attractive.In fact other than your dimpled smile this is what makes you look like a Princess".
Geet smiled.
"Enough Maan.Had enough of compliments.Now shall we meet the couple?"
"Sure".
Dev and Nandini saw them and came towards them.
"Hi...thank you so much for coming".
Suddenly they noticed Maan.
Geet smiled.
"Tuttu...you surprised me by introducing the love of your love.On this special occasion i am giving you a wedding surprise.I am introducing the love of my life.Maan Oberoi".
Dev and Nandini were surprised.
"Wow!That was really a nice surprise Geet.On our wedding itself you surprised us with your Prince of romance.Cool",Dev said.
"Yes Geet.And you both look perfect with each other",Nandini gave them a compliment.
Maan and Geet smiled at each other.Maan kept his arms on Geet's shoulder pulling her closer to him.
"I know that we both are perfect with each other.Because Maan is perfect.He made an imperfect lady like me perfect".

Maan and Geet shared a romantic eye lock forgetting the surroundings.
Dev and Nandini smiled seeing it.


The end.
