Poles Apart – Chapter 18

Saturday Morning, Geet woke up lazily and sat on the bed and sunlight entered the room, filtered through the thin curtain. As she sat up, her mind went to the previous day. He had politely denied the proposal. She was sad about it. But when her mind went to the look in his eyes, she knew he was in more pain for declining the proposal. He had declined it as part of her decision.

“Geet, I know it’s Saturday but you don’t need to be lazy and waste your whole day lying on bed” stated Rano removing the curtain

“Saturday?” the day rang in her head 

“Saturday, lonely and sad, it definitely was a worst situation to leave her Professor alone”

Geet jumps out of bed and gets ready in half an hour.

“She was all lazy and now she is rushing as if getting late for the meeting”

Geet hugged her mom “Mumma need to leave for Delhi”

“What happened Geet” came from her Dad

She looked up and saw questioning eyes from everyone

“Need to head for delhi”

“We heard that, but why? You arrived just yesterday.” said Daarji

“Saturday is not a good day to leave Prof alone. On top when he is sad”

“He was sad?” came from a couple of them there.

“And you are leaving us and going to him” Said Rano surprised

“Mumma, I am needed there, please. Bye”

She moved forward and turned “And don’t compete with my would be” and before her mother could show response she rushed out.

“Call once you reach Delhi” shouted Rano from behind.

Whole family was gathered in Handa Haveli in HP -Geet’s Parent’s, her Taya ji and Tayi Ji, Daarji and her cousin Brij and Rajji.

Brij was elder to Geet but he never acted such with her. He knew and accepted, Geet was a very independent and self capable girl. He knew and accepted that she was more talented than him. He is older or he is a boy does not entitle him to be superior. They basically share a good friendly rapo as siblings.

“Why are you so worried Rano”

“I so wished Geet fall in love and now that she has fallen in love,  I am so scared”

“You are jealous of Maan Khurana” Mohinder teased her

“No, her professor and his loneliness scares me.”

“You were Okay with Dev and you are worried about Maan, who is way superior to Dev as a human and as per achievement.”

“You are not getting it. Someone like Maan, as a person and as a groom is tough to find. But he is lonely, without a family. With what Daarji said, he is also an emotionally broken man. Along with his achievement and his goodness, his loneliness and Emotional situation will also fall under Geet’s umbrella.”

“Rano, you are getting scared because you love Geet so much” said Daarji

“But puttar, why don’t you see this way, the moment Geet is with him, his loneliness and emotional pain will automatically vanish”

“But it will all be on Geet’s shoulder. I wanted Geet to be married to a man with no baggage”

“Remember Rano, Geet fell in love with her Professor for what he is and what he is has much to do with his situation. Geet did not fall for Maan Khurana, she fell for this same person you are worried about.”

“May be it is infatuation, I will keep watch”

“Geet is not the girl to run after infatuation. But Rano you can help”

“Yes” said Daarji “How”

“Be mother to Maan. He misses his mother.”

“I love my kids too much to be anyone else’s Mom. I can be good to him” Rano was not sure of Maan being a good choice, how can she promise to be his mother so soon

“With your daughter so much in love with him and with Maan being such a nice person, you will not even realize when you will become a mother to him”

“I will like it that way, Daarji, to come naturally. I can’t force to become his mother”

Maan had been looking at a picture of his mother, sitting on the clean bed in her room. He had to decline the proposal for his inspiration, the only person he wished to be part of his life.

But the excitement that he had seen in her eyes when she knew he was Maan Khurana, the real owner of  Khurana Enterprise. Was he not good enough for her for the person he was. Was Mr. Khurana right, no girl will want to make him his life partner for the person he was. It was only his surname that will make the girl say Yes. Sadly, Mr.Khurana was right. He wished his inspiration was different from other girls. She liked him but he wished she would have accepted him beyond the name of Khurana..But then he knows she is a practical girl, It’s not her fault if she thinks like that. 

He was lost in his thought and was almost going into his loneliness trip when he got text from Geet

“Prof. meet me in the cafe opposite your college”

“You are in Delhi?”

“For you. Now don’t waste time and start soon. I am aching to see you”

She brought his naughtiness and wittiness back

“Aching? In that case will a cafe be enough” she laughed at his text. Ohh she was madly wanting to wrap her hand all around him. It felt like ages.

Geet and Maan both reached the cafe, approximately at about the same time. They met at the door and she hugged him and he hugged her back. It being a public place they had to separate, they reluctantly did so.

They took the seat at the corner “So what made you come back so soon”

“You” she traced her hand on his face. They shivered with contact after so long, their desire at the peak. 

College girl came with the menu. They ordered their coffee and she left them on their own. Though Geet did not miss the young girl’s admiring look on Maan.

“You are not allowed to gain anyone’s else’ attention” she said looking into his eyes

he moved forward to bring his face closer “Jealous” he whispered

“Don’t come so close” she said as smile adorned her face 

“Why” he said in low teasing voice

“You don’t want to be kissed here in public” he placed his hand on hers and gave it a slight pull towards him “I don’t mind”

“You talk too much, finish your coffee fast,” a slight shivering smile appeared on her face. 

They finished the coffee with the teasing look all the while. as they stepped out of the restaurant

“Now?” he raised his eyebrows

She smiled and wanting to tease him “You your way me mine” Without a word he pulled her to him by her waist

“After arising the monster inside me, you say that” she traced her finger on his lips sensually, arousing her and him further. her soft finger touch on his lips were making Maan impatient

“My house. No one’s there.” she suggested

“You sure?” “cent percent”

He made a call to his men to pick his car from the coffee. 

He himself moved to the passenger seat, she settled on the driver’s seat

They must have driven for some ten minutes and then their eyes met. Geet slowed the car and stopped at the shoulder. She moved towards him, he took his hand around her and grabbed her nape and placed his lips hard on hers. She parted and he forced his tongue deep inside her, she pushed her and rolled it all over his. They came barely out and nibbled the lips and again pushed their tongue inside. His hand already inside her shirt, he unclasped her bra and moved his hand to find her globes. Geet’s hand as well went inside his Shirt and her soft palm pressed the tight muscle of his back. They never separated their lips as their hands kept pressing on their skin, feeling the more and more of them.

They at last broke for grabbing some breath. Maan again brought her face to him and nibbled her lips “You taste so sweet salty, addictive”

She slightly raised her eyes to meet his dark intense orbs “and you are a drug” he smiled, his face almost touching hers

“let’s go” “Hope I can focus on my drive”

Geet parked the car and they quietly walked as he followed her lead. Both gave glances to each other once in a while, smiles broadening in those moments with anticipation.

The guards greeted them. She entered and all the lights went on.

“Too bright” “I’ll dim them” she dimmed the light with the app. The dimmed light gave the needed private feel to the surroundings.

He could feel the warmth of the house, the house where a happy family lived. Things were arranged but it gave the clear feel of how people lived day to day in a family. He felt nostalgic remembering his childhood – Him, his mother, GrandPa and GrandMa.

She removed her sandals from her feet itself and moved closer to him and circled her hand around his neck and hung her on him “How does my VIP guest want to be entertained today?”

He swiftly removed her hand from him, separating her from him. Geet felt confused for a while but soon she felt his hand grabbing the bottom of her top, his eyes continuously locked with her and in the next second he lifted her top out of her head and threw it on the ground.

“Professor,” she said, surprised and shy for the first time. Almost bare in front of him. It’s not that he had not placed his hand on her skin or not touched her but being barred this way by him and in front of him. He placed both his palms on either side of her waist and squeezed them and then pulled her to him. She stumbled but then held his shoulder for support.

She slowly moved her hand to his button and started unbuttoning him, their eyes still locked. As she bared him slowly stripping his top, she found he did not have his inner vest. She loved it, his full bare front for her. She moved forward and placed a soft kiss on his chest. Maan shuddered but he let her proceed. She placed another kiss and another, going down and down in the process.

As she kept trailing the kisses on his front, she moved down to his abdomen. She was now sitting on her knees. Geet had completely lost herself as she kept on placing kisses on him. His muscles moved as she placed each kiss, she loved seeing that. Maan bent down and grabbed her hair from back and again pressed his lips on her. He needed to calm the storm she was arousing

“I am yours professor, anyway you want”

“You promise you won’t regret it.”

“Never” 

“Even if I leave you after today, may be for forever” Geet got scared with his words but she kept her calm

“I will give my everything to make sure you don’t leave me”

“and if you fail” She just moved forward and kissed him feverishly and in process opened the  button of his jeans, letting him know her answer

“Make us a drink.” 

“One drink only. And dare you close those”  she looked down on his unbuttoned jeans. Ohh how could he not give his heart and everything to her. Her frankness, her boldness only pulled him more and more towards her.

But as she took some while, he was left alone and started pondering on her words

‘I am yours Professor’ kept ringing in his head. “Anyways you want”

But why now? 

She came with a drink, they crossed hands, took a sip and kissed “Cheers”. Maan then surprised her with his sudden question

“What if I propose to you tonight? Will you accept it?” Geet looked at him surprised. It took her a couple of minutes to sink in what he said. But before she could open her mouth

“If yes, why now?”

Geet kept looking at him. Now what does she say? She in no way can deny his proposal but his question, Why Now?  Will he believe her?

After some sip, she realized, his question itself was the answer. He had Why? No, she will wait for the time when he has no Why? 

Even if she says yes, what is gonna happen. He will take her in with questions in his mind.

Without a word, she moved closer to him and shifted on his lap. She circled her hand around him and pressed her lips on his. Maan pulled her closer and kissed hard. Her breast pressing against his hard muscled chest, his hand securing her from her waist. He unclasped her bra and in a while it was on the ground. His hand played with her globes as their lips were glued. Geet’s hand reached near his jeans and played a while with his open button, her fingers brushing his hardness.

He slowly laid her down on the sofa and shifted slightly on top of her. He was breathing heavily. Geet could feel he was trying hard to control. his hands were mercilessly squeezing her flesh. He moved his lips on her skin to taste them, she threw her head back, giving him more access. He sucked her tightened nip**e one by one. Slowly at first and then went insanely as she responded by lifting herself up, giving herself completely to him. 

“I am all your prof.”  She hinted. He was controlling she could feel but he did not need to control with her around her

“All mine” he repeated. His repeating itself showed his distrust of her word. Words were meaningless for now. But she will keep saying, keep giving in. One day he will believe.

He moved from her body to her lips and pressed a soft kiss on her lips and reluctantly separated. Any girl will feel insulted. After openly offering herself, he backed out. But strangely Geet did not feel a bit insulted. She felt pain, pain that he was going through of not being able to trust her giving completely.

Everytime she was getting deeper into the relationship. She did not even realize, she had started thinking about him, above her own self. It was not her insult but his pain that pricked her.

“One more drink please” he requested. It was getting hard to get in control, hard to get in control of his pain with his surface, hard to get control of desire that she has aroused and he has all the facilities to slip. He was not one night stand type and Geet was not one night thing for him. She was way way more. How can he proceed with her with so many doubts? She has not yet accepted his proposal.

“No” she was strong when she had to speak for him. She knew, it being Saturday night and his pain surfacing, he wanted to be lost in drink. But she won’t let him sink this way. He was all alone till now but now she will stand by his side, never letting him alone. 

“Can we atleast share a bed?” she asked, keeping all her shame of being rejected just now. Love has hit her badly and a girl like Geet Handa was thinking way beyond her own self. 

He pressed a kiss in answer.
