Their order arrived but that question was still bothering her. she shook her head, trying to get rid of it.
Geet looked up when she heard him take a sip. She saw Dr. Malhotra looking at her in surprise. ‘Are you okay? ‘
She just nodded and looked back at the food. She lost her appetite but forced herself to take a bite so as not to offend him.
You seem not. He sighed, ‘Don't tell me, you got affected to what I said earlier? ‘
Geet frowned and just shook her head. She doesn't want to speak because she doesn't know what to say. But he was right; she was affected so now her mind was a mess
She looked out the window and looked up to see Maan's room from it. Is he awake? Worry enveloped her body.
She looked down at the food and forced herself to eat it quickly. she felt Mr. Malhotra staring at her.
Are you in a hurry?’ he asked.
Geet nodded, Hm...’
Suddenly he burst out laughing, making her surprise.
You're so cold! What happened? Ha...ha..’
Her face crumpled at his reaction. What's funny about her being cold?
She just sipped her milkshake and adjusted in her seat, she looked at him seriously so the joy on his face gradually disappeared.
Geet smiled and stood up, ‘I'm sorry, Mr. Malhotra, but I need to go.’
She didn't wait for his answer and went straight out of the Pancake House. She heard him calling her name several times but she turned a deaf ear and walked faster. She almost ran so she couldn't hear him. She was so irritated with him!
After she boarded the elevator, she immediately pressed the button to close it.
Easy there, babe... ‘
Geet almost jumped in shock when she heard a voice. Maybe she didn't notice that she was with someone because she was so annoyed.
Geet faced him as if to apologize but her speech hung up and her mouth was left open at what she saw.
His features were familiar...he looked like ...m..maan?
He frowned and didn't say a word, he stared at her face. geet shook her head and immediately lowered her eyes in realization.
You're related with Maan?
He grinned and laughed at what she said.
He stepped closer to her and brought his face closer to her. Her face crumpled in disgust and backed away, she immediately blocked her hand between them. His laughter grew louder.
How did you know? ‘
Like this, she thought about whether she should answer a stranger like him, but in the end, that's what she did. ‘You have this playful aura and Maan doesn't. He's cold and snob.’
She controlled herself to say more especially when she saw his wide grin.
Well... that's new. No one described this deep about maan and me...But then... there is you... just like our friend Sam.
Geet frowned at the last thing he said. she felt annoyed again. Why are they comparing her to that Sam?
He strengthened up and held out his hand. I am Aarav Singh Khurana, brother of Maan and u are?
Geet nodded and was not surprised by what he said. It's obvious. She accepted his hand, ‘I'm Geet.’
‘So... how did you meet my bro?’ He asked and the elevator opened just in time.
I'm his nurse.’
She knew they are going to the same destination. ‘You'll visit him?’
He nodded and put his hand in his pocket. She just noticed what he was wearing. His wearing a psychiatrist uniform!
Her eyes widened when she found out...
‘You're a psychiatrist?’
Yeah. Actually, I'm Maan's psychiatrist.’ He answered.
Geet couldn't answer what he said because she didn't know what to say anymore.
He also had a key card so he opened it. As soon as the door opened, they heard Maan's scream.
What are you doing here, motherfcker?!!’ he was furious.
Her face crumpled at his emphatic cursing. He didn't seem to notice her yet because she was behind the big Aarav.
‘I miss you too, brother! Give me a hug! Aarav grinned before rushing to his brother. Geet laughed which caught Maan's attention. He frowned even more and glared at her.
Get the fck away from me! Fck you, Aarav!
Stop cursing, Maan. Geet warned him.
He glared at her and then pushed his brother.
He walked quickly towards her and Geet was surprised when he grabbed her for a hug. She immediately turned pale and looked at his brother who was also surprised by what Maan had done.
Where the hell have you been? Are you with this b******? He tighten the hug.
Geet pushed him away from her but instead of pulling away he grabbed her face to look up at him.
She slapped his hand and tried to walk away. ‘I just ate breakfast and just went with Aarav.
Geet was surprised when he just stared at her with his jaw clenched.
‘You even know his name?’ He said in a deep voice, seeming to control his anger.
Geet was about to answer when suddenly she noticed that his brother approached them and then put his arm around Maan.
Chill, Maan. I introduced her when we were in the elevator. He grinned. ‘I even hold her hand...’
Her heart beat faster in fear, especially when she saw Maan's red face in anger. His two fists were clenched and it’s like he wants to punch his brother.
But she was surprised when he pushed his brother hard and then stormed straight to the bathroom and slammed the door.
Geet was about to follow him to hit him but she heard Aarav laugh who was now on the floor.
He laughed and held his stomach as he helped himself to stand. He pointed to the bathroom and then shook his head.
Did you see his reaction?’
Geet frowned, ‘Why did you do that?’
He looked at her and tried to calm himself down. ‘I'am just checking if he's improving.
‘by pissing him off?’
He nodded and sat on the chair. He looked at the bathroom door again before turning back to her.
‘Take your seat, Geet. I want to ask some questions.’
Geet sighed and sat across him, His playful aura was gone and he's just looking at her seriously. ‘How many weeks have you been assigned to Maan?’
It's only been two weeks.’
Aarav’s eyes widened, ‘Really? Wow... that fast? You must be something, Geet.’
This is what she did not understand. ‘Huh?’
Aarav shakes his head, ‘I'm Maan's Psychiatrist for almost one year and I just saw his reactions again. Because for the past few months, all he's been doing is losing his mind, getting angry and crying. You're aware maybe there, right?
Geet nodded, hmm...’
So tell me, Geet, how did you tame Maan? Because as far as i know, no one has been around his nurse here. How did you last? And why did Maan hug you earlier? You seem so very close.” His eyes narrowed and seemed to be examining her.
Geet swallowed. He is Maan’s brother so she should trust him.
“On my first day here, I saw him tied up. He was very angry with me then he lost his temper. He was trying to get out of the tie and then he was shouting the name Sam. He was still angry with me then because he said I took the eye of the one he loved the most. As a nurse, I asked who Sam was and said I would help him get it back. Because of that, we gradually had closure.”
He nodded and was enlightened. He took a wallet from his pocket and took out a picture from there. He showed her that.
“The four of us. Me, my girlfriend, Sam and then Maan. I already knew Maan's feelings for Sam but I ignored it. Our rooms are next to each other, and as brother I sometimes visit his room. With each passing day, I gradually notice Sam's pictures filling his room. It was only then that I noticed the change in my brother's behavior.”
He continued revealing more, “Four friends of mine took a business degree, so I switched to Psychology to study people's behaviors, especially Maan. I monitor him every day to find out what could be his illness. Even if I want to see him, I couldn't do it because I knew he wouldn't like it and we would just fight. Then one time, my friends and went to visit Maan in other country. That's when we found out that Sam had a boyfriend. We were all surprised but I'll never forget what happened, to Maan.”
“We were in a public place and he was dumbfounded after seeing Sam's boyfriend. We were just surprised when he suddenly screamed. And you know? He kicked me because he thought I was Sam' boyfriend. Everyone who came near him was hurt that's why we were forced to take him to the mental hospital.”
He shook his head and seemed disappointed in himself. He straightened himself and bowed.
“I'm blaming myself for this. Maybe if I had paid attention to Maan first and sent him to see him, this wouldn't have happened. I'm such a fool. I thought that if I had followed him and secretly put medicine in his drink and feeding him he will get better but I thought wrong. He became more violent and worse.
Geet felt sad while looking at Aarav who was bowing. Even though he didn't show her, she knew he was crying.
It was painful for the brother, especially since it happened to his brother. He took a breath and laughed softly. “Do you know that our demonic father even built this hospital for him? To keep it a secret and not spread that his son went crazy for loving a some woman. So that he wouldn't be ashamed of the clan us! We are so worthless to him. Our demon father is so ashamed of us.
He wiped his tears and looked at her. Geet was surprised when he took her hand. “I have something to ask, Geet.”
What is it?’
“Can... you be Maan's personal nurse? I'm going to take him home because our demon father ordered. Please, Geet, I badly need your help. Because some of our father's business partners will be visiting here and if Maan is not removed from here, he will be flown to another country. I don't want that to happen because Maan might get worse and not recover.
Maan in another country? I can not see him anymore? It's like something squeezed her heart. That thought hurts her and she doesn't want that to happen.
Without hesitation geet accepted his hand and nodded. ‘I agree.’
