MAREEZ-E-ISHQ CHAPTER 5

He finished taking a bath but her face was still hot. She could still feel his gaze but she couldn't do anything rather than to avoid it.

She handed him his cloths while looking over his shoulder. She can't meet his eyes and don't know why.

Hey...’ 

Geet was startled, suddenly feeling his hand on her shoulder.

‘Why can't you look at me?’ he asked.

‘I-I'm looking at you, right?’ she glanced at him but immediately looked away. She was counted! She doesn’t know why she feels this way.

She will never forget his question to her. What does he think of his buddy? Scary?!

‘Oh really? Or you're just imagining how it will look like when my c*ck is inside your a**? Maan said proudly.

Her ears warmed while her breath quickened. If only she could really hurt a patient!

Geet glared at him, ‘Shut your mouth, Mr. Maan, it's not funny anymore.’

Maan grinned, ‘Well, I don't care. I want to tease you.

‘Pervert.’ 

She mumbled with a frustrated pout on her face.

He grinned even more and she was surprised when he grabbed her suddenly, pulling her closer to him. She slammed into his broad chest.

‘How did you say that?’ His voice was hoarse. She struggled and tried to push him away. She looked up and glared at him because nothing happened in her struggle.

‘Let me go this instant, Mr. Maan.’ She resisted his hot gaze on her. She was even more annoyed when he just grinned and bowed slightly. She almost squinted at the small distance between their faces.

‘Feisty, huh? I like that.’ And he brought his face even closer. Her nose fared in annoyance at him. With full force, she pushed him away. He stumbled back a little and Geet sat down. 

‘Stupid.’

He chuckled seeing her antics. She looked at him and stood up. Shaken her skirt before standing in front of him.

‘You à**ho*e!” she was furious...but then immediately covered her mouth, after realizing that she said it out loud! Stupid, Geet!

His grin widened and he started to step closer to her. She backed away with wide eyes. Annoying! Why can't she do anything about this man?

She closed her eyes tightly as leaned against the hard and cold wall. She has nothing left to fall back on. She squinted her eyes and saw his blank reaction but the smirk is still on his lips!

‘As*h**e, huh?  His voice was so deep that she turned pale, as if knew what was coming next.

‘I'll report your disrespect to me.’ He turned his back on her.

She knew it...One of their rules inside this hospital was respecting their patients. No matter what they do to you, you should still respect them. How is it? She clenched her fist and rushed after him, grabbing his hand to stop him from walking.

‘I'm sorry, Mr. Maan.’ She bowed. She can't accept it still... He was at fault, why should she apologize?

He withdrew his hand from her grip so she was forced to look at him. His face was stoic and void of emotion; she almost shivered on his coldness aura.

‘Your sorry is not enough.’

Her jaw dropped as she couldn’t stop cursing him. She took a deep breath and looked him in the eye.

‘What do you want then?’

Mareez-E-Ishq Hoon
Main Kar De Dawa

Haath Rakh De Tu
Dil Pe Zara
Oo….Haath Rakh De
Tu Dil Pe Zara

He stared into her eyes fervently, like he was trying to read her mind. His piercing gaze made her restless...she preferred to look away, she hate that look. He was planning something again...she knew it...

‘I want my Sam.’

‘What do you mean?’ 

‘I want you to pretend to be my Sam.... for one day.”

Her jaw dropped, ‘Are you crazy?’

His face hardened and his eyes grew colder. She was surprised when he violently grabbed her by the arm and pulled her closer to him. She winced in pain.

‘You know the answer, stupid!’ No matter how hard he shows, she knew he was hurt by what she said. She didn't mean it, she was just shocked.

‘I'm sorry...’

‘I'm willing to do it, if that will make you happy and forgive me. But how?’

His face lighted up and he let go of her. ‘Just pretend that you love me that you care for me.’ His voice softened and he looked away from her.

‘I'm so pathetic.’ He washed his face with his palm. It's like he's troubled.

‘It's okay, I want to do it.’ She assure him for she couldn’t see him in trouble.

Maan stared at her and smiled bitterly. ‘You're just doing it because of pity. Am I that so pitiful?’

Geet sighed. She really don't know what to do with him. He was already hurting, he was putting himself down even more. Why is he drowning himself more and more instead of coming up?

Mr. Maan—

‘Maan... I want you to call me only Maan, Sam called me that way.’

Call me a pathetic but I want this.’ He added.

Geet looked at him little shock. In her 24 years of existence in the world, she has never had a relationship. Maybe, because of the hardships of life, she chose to help and work hard to reach where she was now. She was attracted, yes. She has a crush but that's about it. She couldn't attach herself to others because her family was her priority.

She still doesn’t know how it feels to be loved, except for her family. But while looking at him doing this because of so much love, it's like the pain of loving. It is better to be alone in life than a life where you are always hurt. She will be content with loving her family and loving herself, she doesn’t want to ruin everything she has just because of that love.

Maan...she called out softly.

Talab Hai Tu Tu Hai Nasha

Ghulam Hai Dil Ye Tera

Khulke Zara Jee Loon Tujhe

Aaja Meri Saanson Mein Aa

He smiled and closed his eyes tightly. ‘Yes, I missed that. I miss your voice. I miss you, sam.’

Geet was stunned by what he said, as if something clicked in her heart that she doesn’t know. She calmed herself down and erased the bitter feeling.

‘I miss you too, Maan...’

Why am I feeling this way? Why am I so nervous? She thought bitterly.

She was surprised when he hugged her, her heart beat faster and couldn't stop breathing. What's happening to her?

Chaha Tujhe Maine Wafaa Se

Maanga Tujhe Maine Duaa Se

Paaya Tujhe Teri Adaa Se….

‘I know you will come back to me Sam. I'm the one who you really love and not that sonofabitch, am I right?’ He broke away from the hug and looked at her. ‘S-Sam? Say it say that you love me.

I – I love you Maan.

Oh shit. Was she correct in agreeing to this agreement? She just wanted to see him happy but why doesn't her body agree every time he calls her sam? She slapped herself and shook her head. You're just pretending. Geet! Remember that!

‘Babe? Why are you hurting yourself?’ he asked seeing her antics.

Should call him babe too? She wondered innocently, ‘Don't mind me b-babe...’

Ugh! They look like fools here!

Maan smiled, ‘Are you hungry? I'm gonna feed you. Let's sit on bed.’

Before she could speak he pulled her. Instead of sitting on his bed, she was placed on his lap. Her ears got hot from what happened. It's so fu**ing awkward!

Mareez-E-Ishq Hoon
Main Kar De Dawa

Haath Rakh De Tu
Dil Pe Zara
Oo….Haath Rakh De
Tu Dil Pe Zara

‘Open your mouth let your Maan feed you.’

Geet frowned, B-But, Maan... it's not my food. It's for you... That food is only for patients.

‘No. You eat with me or I'll punish you, sam.’ He was stubborn. 

B-But...

No buts, open your mouth, babe.’ He showed her his big angry eyes and she had no choice but to follow him. She turned pale after having the first bite only, it had no taste but she knew it was mixed with medicine. Her stomach won't accept it.

She immediately stood up from his lap and ran straight to the bathroom. When she got to the lavatory she threw up the food. She washed her mouth and left the bathroom. She was stunned when she saw Mr. Maan bent over and looking at his food. His face was emotionless and seemed to be deep in thought.

After a while, she was startled when he threw the food he was holding and screamed loudly. He straightened himself and stood up. He approached the wall and hit his head again and again.

Geet immediately rushed to him and took his hand to pull him. He faced her, his head down and his hair a mess. The tears falling from his eyes did not escape her. She didn't want to hug him. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart was full of compassion and couldn't stop feeling too much pity for his condition.

She hugged him tightly and let him cry. He repeated calling sam name again and again and his voice was filled with resentment.

She moved away a little to see his face. She cupped his face and made him look at her. He closed his eyes and his face was full of tears. his nose was red from crying too much.

Mareez-e-Ishq hoon main, kar de dawa

Haath rakh de tu dil pe zara

O o... haath rakh de tu dil pe zara

She wiped his tears with her thumb. Stop crying, Maan. Everything will be alright. She said softly.

He opened his eyes and looked into her eyes. ‘Geet...can you kill me now? I'm tired, just wanna die...’

Her heart was squeezed by what he said. Why, Maan? Why are you doing this? Why are you torturing yourself?

She just shook her head, ‘No. Dying is not a solution to escape your problem. I'll help you to forget her.’

She wanted to show him that his life shouldn't just revolve around one woman. He shouldn't be driving people crazy who can't really see his love.

Karam Hadh Se Hai
Zyaada Mujhpe Tera….

Haath Rakh De Tu
Dil Pe Zara
Oo….Haath Rakh De
Tu Dil Pe Zara

Thank you so much for all awesome comments, friends...I know you guys have so much confusion and questions regarding the story...let the story move further...further updates will answer your questions hopefully..

MAREEZ-EISHQ CHAPTER 4

 

Chapter 4

Geet was hell scare still tried to talk to him nicely, ‘Calm down, Mr. Maan... you might hurt yourself.

But maan became angrier after hearing her words. ‘I don't f*king care! I'm gonna kill you!’ His face was red with anger, his wrist was already wounding on the rope.

Geet sighed and shook her head. She need to maintain her composure, she needs to stay calm. She must not show him that she was afraid. ‘Is it about last few days? I'm sorry, okay? I can explain... just calm down...’ she slowly approached him.

‘No! Explain? Then you will leave me again? F**k you!’ he shouted.

She winced at the loudness of his scream. What the hell is this guy, he sounded as if he swallowed a microphone.

She sat next to him and caressed his face. He stopped instantly and stared at her. There's that warm feeling again every time he stares into her eyes.

‘It's your breakfast time...’ She  said calmly, his forehead furrowed and his lips twitched as if he wanted to speak but nothing came out of his mouth.

‘I'll let you go but you need to promise that you'll calm down and you won't do anything violent reaction. Get it?’

He didn't answer, he didn't even nod. No reaction, blank. His eyes just kept staring at her.

Geet sighed, ‘I take that as a yes.’

She  reached for his tie and removed it. She can see the many scratches on both of his wrists because of his struggle to get off the rope earlier. She was annoyed. Why did they need to tie him up? Because he's too dangerous? And there is a possibility that he can harm himself? Then what's the use of nurses here?

‘Does it hurt, Mr. Maan?’ she asked him but couldn't get an answer. She just shook her head and held his two wrists to clean them.

He was silent and kept staring at her. That's more favorable to her than him getting lost. She stood up for a moment to get the food that was ready for him. She sat down again and met his gaze. He was sitting now.

She held his messy hair and straightened it, because his hair was already long and blocking his face. ‘I will feed you, after that you will take your meds then take a bath. Is that okay with you?’

‘Why asking for my opinion? As if I have a choice.’ He said sarcastically.

Instead of being annoyed, geet just smiled. She didn't know that Mr. Maan has this side. ‘Good that you know.’ She just said and started to feed him, he didn't complain and ate everything she gave him.

He was quiet; the only thing she could hear was the sound of the spoon every time it hit the food container and then his food.

‘I'm sorry...’ she broke the silence. He frowned but did not speak.

‘I'm sorry if I broke my promise...’ she could see his fist clenched.

‘I had a fever for 3 days; I couldn't stand because of the weight of my body. When I tried, it only got worse. I'm sorry, Mr. Maan.’

‘Liar...’ he muttered furiously.

She stopped feeding him and looked at his emotionless face.

‘You're just making excuses to fool me. I am an obsessed freak; everyone is scared of me so why should I believe you? I know that you're absent because you don't want me, because I am crazy and because you are scared of me.’ He smirked bitterly and looked away. She caught the shine in his eyes due to tears, but he's holding back his tears.

She put the food container on the side table and took his hand, he Inhaled and immediately pulled it away from her hand. She sighed and dared to hold his face to face her. She stared deeply at him.

‘If I'm scared why did I come back here? Hmmm?’

He averted his eyes from her but she lightly squeezed his face. ‘Look at me in my eyes and answer me, Mr. Maan. Who's scared now?’ she said sarcastically when he couldn't really look at her.

Maan frowned and looked at her sharply then violently removed her grip from his face. ‘I'm not scared!’ he growled.

‘I know you force yourself to come back here! You don't have a choice because the f*cking head doctor here assigned you to me and you can't do anything about it!’ He was breathing fast in anger. She smiled because he was letting out his emotions and that was beautiful.

‘Why the f*ck are you smiling?!’ He shouted so that her smile broke. His scream hurt her ears. He thought I was too far for him to have to shout. She shook her head and took both of his hands, holding it tightly so he couldn't take them away. 

“Mr. Maan, I'm not scared of you, put that in your mind. And about what you said, I wasn't really forced because I was just assigned here. Every nurse can ask for head doctor to change our shift, I didn’t right? If I'm scared of you, I shouldn't be talking to you right now. Heck, I can even touch you like this, because I'm not scared, I let you go because even though I know you have violent tendencies, I still trust you. You're not crazy, you're just blinded by too much love. You get it now?” she smiled at his stupid face. she saw his ear turn red before he pulled his hand away.

Liar...’ he again said.

Geet shrugged, ‘I'm saying the truth. But it's your choice if you will believe or not. Anyway...’ she stood up and took his medicine.

‘Time to have your meds!’

‘Whatever.’ He beamed even more so her smile grew. She made him take medicine and let him rest for a while.

She got something new for him to wear because he is about to take a bath. She went into the bathroom to prepare his bath. When she came out she saw him staring outside. One wall of this room is made of fiber glass so can see the outside.

He looked at her when walked towards him. The sadness in his eyes made her feel sorry for him.

Maan.

I love your name.’ She said with a soft smile.

‘I'll make a deal for you, Mr. Maan.’

‘I don't want it.’

This deal is connected to your Sam, but you don't want it, so don't. She stood up and turned around but before she could step herself he pulled her back. She gasped as she went straight into his lap.

‘What is it?’ He asked coldly, ignoring their position. She was so embarrassed that couldn’t answer. 

‘Geet...’

Her  hair stood on end when he brought his mouth to her ear. Even if she wanted to push him away, he held her tightly.

‘U-Uh... I will h-help you to see Sam but in exchange for you behaving and healing, D-Deal?’

‘Hmmm...’ He moaned in her ear making her stiffen even more in her seat.

‘Deal.’ She almost screamed when she felt him lick her earlobe.

‘What was that for?!’ she screamed when he released her. This man is crazy!

Maan shrugged, ‘You're ear looks delicious so I taste it.’

Her face got hot with embarrassment. Why he talks like that, what he did is normal for him?!

She was surprised when he stood up and stood in front of her. He looked at her and she was annoyed because of his height, she had to look up.

‘I'll take a bath now, sweetheart..’

She cringed at his last words. Sweetheart? What the heck! He passed her and went straight to the bathroom; she calmed herself down and followed him.

‘Mr. Maan, I...’ It was like cold water was poured on her when she saw him n*ked under the shower expect his under*ear covering his essential. He turned his back slightly to her so only she saw his back...

She slapped her face. What's wrong, Geet? It's like you don't bathe patients before...she was surprised when Mr. Maan turned around. He faced her, her ears twitched and she turned back as he was about to remove the last cloth from his body. Her heart was beating fast and chest heaving up and down at what she saw! She slapped herself again. What are you thinking about that, Geet! Wipe that off!

‘What are you doing here?’

She was startled when he spoke.

‘I just need to w-watch you...’

She heard him chuckle behind her, her heart beat faster.

‘I didn't know that you're also a per**rt nurse.’

Her eyes widened and she faced him. ‘What per**rt nurse?! I-I just have to do that because that's what the head nurse ordered!’

‘Oh really? But why is your face so red? Is my c**k intimidating you, Geet?’

Her jaw dropped at what he said.

What the hell?

MAREEZ-E-ISHQ CHAPTER 3

 

Chapter 3

It’s been two days; Geet has been on leave that she didn’t visited hospital. She still had a fever. She felt really bad that she has to take leave just after her joining...She was new to work and then this happened.

She pulled up the blanket and hugged it closer to her. She didn't use any air conditioner anymore but it's still cold.

Just then her cell phone rang...pulling her out of her thoughts. Even though it was hard for her to move, she picked it up...as she check her cell...she noticed a text from Doctor Malhotra

Ms. Geet, you're patient is looking for you. Are you feeling better now?’

She couldn’t think anything to reply... she couldn't say anything because of that. What will be the reaction of Mr. Maan? She didn't fulfill her promise, so there are definitely many things that can be done...

Nervousness enveloped her, she really wanted to go in but her body couldn't handle it. The pain is too much.

She looked at the door when it opened. She saw her Mom walking in with medicine.

She touched her neck, ‘Your fever is still high. Let's go to the hospital now?’

Geet immediately shakes her head, ‘No, Mom. Let me just have the medicine.’

Misha sat on the edge of her thin bed then she stroked her hair affectionately, with sad smile on her face. ‘I'm sorry, dear. I'm ashamed to make you work...now see you fallen sick. 

Geet frowned, ‘Mom, you're just making me feel worse.’ 

She sighed, ‘How many times do I have to tell you, Mom? We are a family... and the family works together. The important thing is that we are together, even if dad is gone.’

She burst into tears and Geet immediately wiped it away.

Misha smiled bitterly, ‘Because your father is annoying, he left us right away.’ She sniffed and wiped away the tears again. ‘I'm sorry baby for my drama, huh.’

Geet shook her head in denial...with painful smile on her face.

‘Oh this, eat that, I cooked boiled fish. Do you want me to feed you?’ she offered her.

But geet shakes her head, ‘Don't worry, mom. I just have a fever and I'm not disabled.’ She forced herself to sit and took the food she brought.

‘Alright, Mom. You can go down now, take care of Rehan.’

Mrs. Handa frowned, ‘You're just making me leave.’

‘Yes, mom. How did you know?’ geet chuckles, trying to lightened the atmosphere. Instead of getting angry she laughed at her daughter before kissing her forehead.

‘Alright, I'm leaving. Get well, okay? I'll be back later. Don't worry for us too much.’ Misha got up advising her to take rest.

‘Yes mom.’ Geet nodded her head and saw her mother finally left the room.

She sighed and started to eat, although she had no appetite but she insisted Instead of throwing away what her Mother had prepared for her.

Her Mother is the only parent to her & her siblings. It's been two years since her father left them. He died due to his chronic disease stage 4 cancer.

They didn't do anything to heal him because they didn't had anything either. Dad is the only one who keeps them alive. They also have no other relatives here.

She wishes her father had told them about his illness earlier so they could have done something but it's too late, they would not have known if he didn't pass out in front of them.

They had rushed him to the hospital but he was dead on arrival and that's when they found out that his body couldn't handle the stage 4 cancer.

She and her family mourned his loss for a month, especially Mom who locked herself in the room every day after Dad's death.

But little by little, all forced themselves to accept that Dad was gone and cope even though he was gone. For two years she forced herself to study while working various jobs and by the grace of God, she graduated.

When she finished the food, she took the medicine and lay down again….closed her eyes and went to sleep, erasing from her mind what could happen when the next day will arrive.

.....

The next day,

SIS!

She looked at her little brother running towards her. He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. ‘Good Morning, sis! Are you feeling well now?’

‘Yes baby.’ She assured him.

‘Why are you in uniform? Are you going to work now?’ he asked with frown on his forehead, seeing her in uniform.

‘Yes baby.’

‘But, sis, we didn’t play anymore.’ Rehan snorted*

‘Sorry baby but next time, on my day off we'll go to the amusement park.’

‘Really?’ he was enthusiastic. Geet laughed seeing this and nodded. 

She was surprised when he hugged her and jumped. ‘Yehey! Yehey! I love you, sis! I'll tell Mom.’ He quickly ran out. Geet just shook her head and prepared her bag.

She took her bag after getting ready and then she walked out of the house. She saw her Mother selling next to their house. She was holding a bag and the contents were still breakfast.

Geet didn’t want her to work but she was insistent so she didn't do anything. She  approached her and gave her a hand. She looked at Geet in surprise. ‘Oh dear? Are you going to work now?’ 

‘Yes, mom.’ Geet nodded slightly.

She touched her forehead and neck. ‘You still have bit of fever. Can you handle it?’

‘Yes Mom. I'm strong, okay?’ geet said with little pout.

Mrs. Handa laughed, ‘Alright. Do you want to take some food? Eat it at work when you're hungry.’

Geet shakes her head, ‘Don't worry, ma. There's free food there.’ She  glanced at her old wrist watch, it was actually her father's but he gave it to her. ‘Oh, I'm leaving. Be careful about selling, mom.’

‘Alright.... Be careful, dear.’ Misha patted her cheek.

Geet kissed her on the forehead and left.

She was already out of the alley when someone stopped her suddenly, she sighed, it was Varun again.

‘Hi, Geet! I missed you! Why haven't you been here for days?’

Because I got sick.’ Geet rolled her eyes while continued walking..

Varun is the son of the Captain of their City. She knows that he likes her because he always says that every time he sees her.

‘Geet, you should you text me so I can take care of you, I'll cook you a delicious meal!’ 

Geet looked at him. Varun was handsome, tall, fair, just a simple guy but he openly does what he want. He even knows to cook the meal which every girl want in their BF. But she doesn’t know why doesn't like him.

‘Thank you, I don't want to bother you.’ 

Geet gave him soft smile.

Varun hit her shoulder, what the hell! It's no problem; I'll be your hubby soon so that's fine. He chuckled while she winced at what he said. ‘Ahmm... Varun... I'm late. Can we talk again later?

‘Alright, but can we have a hug? Please! ‘just hug...’ he pleaded so much that geet winced internally and nodded.

He jumped and hugged her tightly; she was surprised when he even kissed her on the cheek. ‘Bye! Be careful!’ he said and let her go.

Geet just nodded and passed him. She glanced at her wrist watch again. Tsk, she’s late. She sped up her way to get on her vehicle; luckily she was able to get on board right away.

After a few minutes, she arrived at the opposite side of the hospital. Her heart was beating so hard because of the nervousness. She walked inside, when saw Mr. Malhotra talking to another nurse.

Geet approached him, ‘Good morning, Dr. Malhotra.’

He was surprised and turned to her. ‘Oh, Ms. Geet! I'm glad you're here. Are you okay now?’

‘Yes.’ Geet nodded her head.

‘Good, because your patient is looking for you. I think, he misses you.’

Her ears warmed with embarrassment but she hides it, keeping her blank face. ‘What are you talking about, Mr. Malhotra?’

He laughed at her reaction, ‘You will know once you see him. Didn't you miss him?’

W-What? Geet was taken back with his direct question.

He burst out laughing even more, making the others look at them. ‘Your ear is so red. You really miss him, huh?’

She just shook her head at his teasing. 

‘Funny, Dr. Malhotra. Anyway, I'll go now...’

‘Sure... can't wait to know what will happen to you later.’ 

‘You're such a tease, Doctor. She shook her head.

He laughed, I know right?’

Geet didn't answer and just said goodbye again to leave. she took the elevator. She held the left part of her chest, the strength of the beating. It was so loud that her friends inside the elevator could hear it.

Why am nervous?

The elevator stopped at the top floor. She sighed and tried to get rid of the nervous feeling. Every time she takes a step, her heart beats together, it gets stronger and stronger.

She sighed again when reached the door, she slowly swiped the key card. After opening the door, she heard his cry and shouts.

Fcking liars!!! I'm gonna kill that wench!

His voice was full of anger. She entered and carefully closed the door. She was surprised at how well he did. He was tied up again, but what surprised her more was his face full of tears.

Mr. Maan...’ she felt sad, seeing him in tears.

He violently turned to her. With those glaring eyes, it's like he's killing her with his gaze. 

‘YOU LIAR!’ He growled and tried to escape from the binding of his hand.

She is dead....

To be continue...

Thank you so much for your support, friends...🤗

Mareez-e-Ishq Chapter 2

 

Chapter 2

Geet woke up, next morning...hearing some noise. She immediately panicked as she saw the bed empty. Why did I fall asleep?! She thought while her eyes searching for Maan and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he hadn't gone out yet. Because a key card is needed to open the door and it was hidden with her. 

Maybe because he wanted so much to escape from this place, he couldn't think of baiting her.

Mr. Maan—she called him, and when he looked at her she turned nervous to see his dark face and glaring eyes.

She backed away seeing him rushing towards her. He grabbed her by her shoulder and pushed her against the wall. She winced at the pain felt. Her back hurts.

Where's the key?! He asked in a rush. 

Geet closed her eyes at the strength of his voice. She could almost taste the danger in his voice.

‘G-Get off me!’ She stammered but suddenly she felt his hand crawling on her neck and he pressed it. Her heart beat faster in fear.

‘You choose, you will give it to me or you will die right here and right now?’ He said emphatically, his eyes burning with anger.

‘Mr. Maan... we can talk about it in a nice way...’ She said calmly even though She could feel her breathing getting tight because of his stranglehold.

His face darkened even more, ‘Shut the fck up, you fcking worthless!’ He tightened his grip and was about to lift her up. Her eyes hurt and she coughed as she tried to look into his eyes. ‘P-Please?’

He stopped at her request and looked into her eyes. Little by little the tightness of his hand left her neck. She took that opportunity to push him.

Next moment, she fell to her knees as soon as she got away from him, holding her neck she inhaled sharply, taking as much as air in...

He**...’ he cursed loudly, she looked at him surprised,  when he shouted again and punched the wall.

Even though she was weak, she immediately stood up to get the syringe which only contains a sedative.

‘Sam!! Why did you have to choose that B*****. I love you with all my heart but you choose to be with him!!!’ He was mumbling between his tears as he cried for his love.

Her forehead furrowed at his cry. she felt pity for him as she saw him kneel down and crying softly.

Geet slowly came closer to him, she didn't want to but she had to do it. She took the opportunity that she was having and injected him with the syringe.

He stopped and his body stiffened, he turned to her and she saw his wet, angry eyes looking at her...B***** He cursed her again in his weak voice before falling down to the floor. She immediately supported him and laid him on the bed.

Geet fixed his hair as he looked at her. The tiredness and sleepiness were obvious there, but the pain that can be seen in his eyes cannot be removed.

She smiled and caressed his face again, ‘Everything will be alright, Mr. Maan...’ She said weakly as she could see his eyes shining with tears.

Tell me... am too ugly?’ he asked hoarsely.

Geet shook her head in denial. 

‘Am I too bad?’ He asked again with baby face.

She shook her head again with sad pout on her face.

You fcking liar. Why did she leave me?’ he became furious again.

‘Maybe because she doesn't love you?’ she said and took the towel to wipe his sweat.

‘I know that, stupid. But I gave her everything, did all the things for her to love me. And now? She's gone with that so*ofabi*ch.’

‘Maybe, destiny planned all of this. Maybe, Sam is not really for you. Maybe, you're destined to somebody else.’ She said while cleaning his bleeding fist.

‘To hell with your maybe. Hell with the destiny, I don't care about those. I just want my Sam, I rather die than see myself loving somebody else.’ He looked pissed off...

Geet just sighed in defeat, ‘Let's see then...’

Maan smiled bitterly, ‘It's too complicated, I can't stop my heart beating for her.’

Geet smiled softly, ‘You know? With everything you say. I realized that you really love her. But you can't say that she's the only one your heart can love, that she's the only one, for whom your heart beats.’ she pointed to his left side of chest.

‘A lot can happen; there are many more people who are destined for you, who you will love even more than her. You are only saying that now because you don't want to remove her from your mind that you can be. You cannot accept that she will never be yours; you will never be no matter what you do...

She was saying while he couldn’t help but kept silent and heard her for a moment.

‘Yes, you love her but she is not happy with you, Will you still choose to have her stay by your side or just let her go with someone you know can make her truly happy?’

The pain in his eyes got worse because of what she said, he suddenly looked away and when his eyes returned to her, his face was emotionless.

‘I don't care if she's not happy with me, I want her with me. She does belong to me, only to me. I own every inch of her body, soul and mind.

Geet shakes her head, ‘Then you're a selfish and because of your selfishness, you are now here, in this hospital, alone and suffering.’

Now Maan became angry and he glared at her, ‘Fck you. I don't care about you, about your beliefs and advice. You are just a fcking worthless nurse.’

What he said made her cringe, ‘Then why are you asking me? Sorry for this, Mr. Maan but for me, you are a hopeless crazy obsessed stupid bas**** and I'm glad that Sam left you, she doesn't deserve a person like you. She blasted and stood up in anger as she tried to calm herself down.

bitch! I'm really gonna kill you!  He shouted in pure rage.

Geet smirked, If you can get out of there where you're lying.

His jaw clenched so her grin grew, ‘Who's worthless now, Mr. Maan?’

He was damn irritated now, ‘Argh! Fck you, nurse! You will regret this!’

She  ignored him and took the thing from him. His eyes widened, ‘You gonna tie me again?’

Geet didn't speak, just took his hand so he couldn't move.

No! No, please! He pleaded like a small child. 

She stopped at his request. ‘You don't want to be tied up?

He shook his head so she lowered the tie.’Fine if you promise me that you will behave. ‘

Maan immediately nodded, ‘Promise! I won't do anything!’

I'm leaving now, my shift is done. She said taking her bag.

Wait, what? You're gonna leave me here?’ His eyes rolled due to panic.

‘Yes, I will come back tomorrow. But for now, other nurse will take care of you.’ She said giving him look. 

Maan shakes his head, I don't want them! Don't leave me! I will behave promise, just... just don't leave me...His voice trailed off at the end. He was getting comfortable with her unknowingly..her presence somehow able to distract him...she was arguing with him ...taking the bitterness out of his mind slowly and gradually, even geet was unaware about this.

I'm sorry, Mr. Maan but I have a family who's waiting for me to come home. She said softly and saw him turning his face away in displeasure. 

Geet sighed seeing this and stroked his hair again. ‘Treat the next nurse nicely, okay? Can you promise that?’

He didn't answer and just looked to his side.

Mr. Maan...’ she called him but he couldn’t budged,  ‘Fine. Tomorrow, I will stay here, do you want that?’ she used her card...and as expected, he immediately turned to her. ‘Not just for tomorrow, I want you to stay here every day.’

She didn’t know but she was suddenly nervous because of his stares she fumble with her reply, ‘I-I'll try that.’

‘Don't try, I want you to do it!’ he demanded like a kid again.

Geet sighed in defeat, ‘Alright!’ and she saw his lips curved in beautiful smile. 

         

She was surprised seeing him smile the first time ever after they met. It's a sincere smile, his first smile to her. Her heart beat so fast that she just turned around briskly.

She put her palm on her chest where her heart was beating fast and caressed it gently. What's happening to me?

You promise? He asked facing her again.

Y-Yes.’ She stammered.

I'll hold on to that. And... I hate liars.’ His face darkened at the last word.

Geet nodded, ‘I am not lying. Promise is a promise.’

He smiled again and she felt her heart beat faster again. ‘What's with his smile?’

MAREEZ-E-ISHQ CHAPTER 1

 

Chapter  1

He is Maan Singh Khuran 27 years old, he has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and you are the one who assigned to take care of him, Nurse Geet. Dr. Malhotra, one of the great Doctors in this hospital. He gave her the details of her job as he further added, you also take care because this patient is kind a dangerous. You are the 21th nurse, and I hope you don't leave this job like his past nurses did.” He added his worry.

Geet nodded with a small smile, ‘I will do my best, Sir, nothing to worry.’ 

He nodded back, ‘I only expected this.  Follow me.’ He ordered and walked out with Geet following his lead. They took the elevator and went up to the top floor. She was surprised but then chose to remain silent.

The elevator opened and she stood on the most quiet floor of the building. 

Dr. Malhotra walked ahead while she stayed behind watching him opening the door with the card. The door was Silver metallic with a card scanner in it.

‘This is the special room for the people who had a severe diseases like being obsessed, having a double personality and more.’ He explained and they stopped in the front of metallic door in the last room at the right.

He took a card from his pocket before inserting it into the scanner. It rang before opening, her heartbeat rose faster and stronger because of nervousness especially as when they entered.

The surroundings were dark but immediately lit up when the Dr. Malhotra turned on the lights. She gasped when a man tied to the bed came into her vision, he was asleep and his face was full of wounds as well as other parts of his body.

‘I'm sorry for you have to see this, him... tied on the bed. I told you he's really harmful. We don't have a choice but to do this.’ He explained while looking to her. ‘I'll leave you now. You know what to do, right? Just press the red button if there's an emergency.’

‘Yes, thank you very much.’ She nodded after listening everything with patience. 

He went out leaving her alone with the patient. She looked around the whole room; it was big because it included the bathroom. There are only a few things inside reasoning that he could hurt himself or other people.

She sat on the white sofa placed at one corner of the room; she opened her bag and took out the food for him as well as the water. She took out the first aid kit as well and prepared the things to treat his scars and wounds.

When it was over, she stared at the patient again. She couldn't help but feel sorry for his condition. He looked like a tied animal and she could see the agony on his face.

She stood up and walked up to him, stared at his face from closer. She stood  amazed at staring at his face as despite its scars, he looked one of the handsome guy on this planet.

The long eyelashes, the think eyebrows, the nose was sharp, his lips shade in pink color. His dark brown hair, she wonder if that's natural.

She froze at her place seeing him opening his eyes and looked straight at her. She almost trembled at the coldness of his gaze and because of the fear of him as he presence was as if screaming of her doom.

Who the hell are you?! His jaw tightened as he groaned and fell off the bed. ‘What the hell is this?! Get me off this!’  He growled.

She calmed herself down before speaking, ‘Calm down, Mr. Maan. It might hurt you.’

Maan glared at her, ‘How can I fcking calm down when I'm tied up in this bed?!’ he barked.

she gulped hard seeing his anger, ‘They need to do that because for your safety.’

‘For my safety?! Or for your fcking safety? Because I'm 'gonna really set this hospital on fire once I slip get out from this rope!’ he shouted in fury. 

She hardened her facial expression. ‘You will calm down or I'll make you sleep again?’

Her statement made his eyes widen in anger, he gritted his teeth, ‘No way! I'm gonna really kill you, stupid nurse!’

She clenched her fist and looked at him. ‘First of all, I'm not stupid. I'm Geet Handa, I'm your new nurse. Second, I'm not a coward because the real coward is you.’ Saying so she rolled her eyes.

he was shocked with her audacity and shouted in rage, ‘What?! I don't fcking care about your name, fck you!’

She flinched with his use of words but then ignored him; she took the food from the desk and then approached him again. He stared at the food container she was carrying.

‘It's time to eat.’ She  sat on the side of his bed. ‘I'll feed you.’

‘No! Let me go from here! I need to see my Sam! Where's my Sam?! I need her!’

She was stunned when she saw the change in his expression. His eyes glistened with tears.

‘Who is Sam?’ she asked.

But he didn’t answer...he looked lost; she ignored him, put the food container aside and stood up to get the syringe which only contained a sedative.

His condition looked worse ...looking lost somewhere....

‘Fck! Don't you dare, stupid nurse! Don't you dare!’ he shouted, threatening her but she didn’t budge.

Calm down... she said calmly.

‘How can I fcking calm down, huh?! Let go of that thing!’ He was very angry, but what was the use of his anger do if he was all tied.

‘Fine, but only if you calm down.’ She took a deep breath, leaving defeated sigh. He just looked at her, he continued to stared her down for a long time.

She thought he had calmed down but she was surprised when he screamed. ‘Your eyes! Remove your eyes! How could you have this beautiful eyes more than my sam! You don’t have right...You fcking b***h!’

Geet was taken back, she was startled and in that moment she injected him with the syringe she was holding. He was shocked at what she did. She watched him gradually weaken.

I hate you... he mumbled in his weak voice. 

‘I'm sorry, Mr. Maan, but I need to do it...aapki safety ke liye yahi sahi hai. She whispered, giving him pity look.

Coward... He said. His body felt numb and so weak. she just shrugged and untied him. She was comfortable now around him, she knew he can't move his body to do any violence. The effect of the medicine lasts for four hours.

‘I'm gonna make you pay for this.’ He threatened arrogantly and tried to stand up but fell back again feeling extremely weak. 

If you can move your body. Geet slightly smirked and then took the tray of food from the table.

B*****. He glared at her however feeling weak.

geet frowned, controlling her rage, trying not to hit him, ‘I'll feed you.’

‘No fcking way!’ he shouted*

‘Okay, fine. I'll tie you again.’ She threatened and pretended to tie him up again.

Fine, fine! He gave up and she smiled secretly. There he was staring at her again. She didn't pay attention to that and started to feed him.

It's obvious that he's hungry because he barely chews his food and just swallows it.

geet felt pity, what if i wasn't assigned to him right away? Will he be able to eat properly and on time? Kisine inhe khilane ki himmat bhi ki hogi seeing that nurses are so afraid of him. She felt her eyes moistening with the thought...she blinked her eyelashes looking away from him.

When he finished his meal, she asked him to drink water. She stood up and went to the bathroom to get a basin and a towel to wipe him off. When she came back  she was surprised seeing the scene before her eyes, he was crawling on the ground.

Mr. Maan! She exclaimed in horror, rushing towards him.

I n-need to find my S- Sam...

He said with difficulty. Who is that Sam?

N-No... Stop... He complained when geet helped him upright and back to the bed.

You're so stubborn. Geet muttered after settling him down on the bed again. 

He stared at her, ‘Sam...’ he whispered.

She made him lie down and squeezed the towel from the basin. She gently fixed his hair, he closed his eyes. She slowly wiped his face, just staring at him. He looks like an angel but she knows he has a bad attitude or ego problem it is...

She wiped his neck, arms and the chest. That's all. Maybe tomorrow she will arrange to give him a bath. There is no difference because they are assigned to do this task with every patient... And she had patients with him before so she used to it. But the fact was..he will be her first young male patient...she felt shiver in her whole body with the thought...kal ki kal dekha jayega geet... she calmed herself down before standing up again to return the basin. When she came back he was just looking at her silently. 

‘You can sleep now, Mr. Maan.’ She broke the silence

Make me...’ his words left her surprise but didn't show him. She looked at her wrist watch. 2 more hours before the effect of his injection will be removed.

Geet sat on the edge of his bed and stroked his long and soft hair. She was used to things like this because before she came here she was a nurse for children and the elders.

She watched as he closed his eyes.

I need my Sam... Give me back my Sam...He whispered that over and over again. Whoever it is, I'm sure she is the reason for his this condition.  Why Ms. Sam. He must have loved that girl so much that's why he did this. She thought looking at him. 

While staring at him, she didn't realize that her eyes slowly closed and she fell asleep next to him.

Mareez-e-Ishq hoon, main kar de dawa

Haath rakh de tu dil pe zara

O o... haath rakh de tu dil pe zara
