[Chapter 3]
Geet has been relaxing these five days. She was cooking for the family, decorating the house and one the back of her mind Maan’s words were running.
“Focus on becoming a mother?” he had suggested.
“Maan is right. He is a father and he knows how children attach us to them. Maybe then, I will get a different feeling for Dev.” But she was scared of the moment Dev would touch her. She hated herself for this. Why did she get scared of Dev’s touch? He is her husband and how respectful and patient he has been with her.
Geet and Dev have become good friends. He has been very supportive of her, has stood in her favor against his Mom’s illogical expectations from Geet at work front. Geet was also very grateful to Dev, for secretly supporting her in monetary matters.
Geet was heavily paid by Nina. This was done by Nina to motivate Geet when she has been let down by Nina regarding the company's shares. Nina had made sure that Company shares will only go to her blood, Dev and Megha. Though she knew very well, the major reason for the success of her firm is Geet but still she directly denied giving her shares. Geet had been shattered, not because of the monetary power of Shares but because she wanted to be included as part of the company and family. Dev could not do much but he had made bonds in the name of Geet of the monetary value which was half of his share value.
But even after all this, Geet had not been able to accept physical closeness with Dev. They have tried many times but always ended up in odd situations. Slowly-slowly they gave up on trying to be a couple in the bedroom. They respected and cared for each other but gave up on being a couple as husband and wife. But in all this Geet has taken the failure all on herself. She has taken this as a defect on herself.
It had only been after her first Dance with Maan that she had felt alive as a woman. Maan Khurana had been very decent in his dance with her, but still there was something with his closeness, his fragrance, his fingers, the way he moved her, she had felt alive. And his calm, assuring and confident words had filled her with confidence in her as a woman “You are perfect Geet.”
Then after the annual party, every year, for a couple of months Geet would be confident that she is just fine but then not being able to reciprocate to Dev’s advances she would again start sulking in her own imperfection.
So today was the 5th day of her leave, Geet was enjoying and serving breakfast to all. Nina was pissed off. For no reason Geet was sitting at home, enjoying homely duty when servants were all around to do these stuff. Her major projects were on hold. She would herself not let them proceed without Geet’s consent. Her touch, her minute comments and guideline did the magic and made them apart from others. And here madam was at home, enjoying serving everyone. But could say nothing as Dev has warned her. As Geet served her the paratha with a smile, Nina had to give a big smile back to her.
Geet admired her family, it was part of her and her only identity of existence. How beautiful it was, her house, which she decorated with Megha. Megha, her best friend and her sis in law, Aakash, her bro in law, he was such a sweetheart, who kept the environment lively. Nina, her Mother in law, yes she was professional and expected the same from her. She appreciated her talent, and had no problem with Geet not being a very good cook. Unlike other mother in law, she never taunted Geet for homely duty. She knew Geet loved her work and encouraged her in that. Dev, her husband, was her such a good and understanding friend. For a girl like her, who had nothing to look forward to at age of 15 years, this was her home and family. Geet cannot imagine life without this home and family. It was her entire universe.
At night, Dev was looking at the company stats and looking into new marketing strategies. He was resting on bed and drowned in his laptop. As Geet sat in front of dresses, Dev’s eyes were on her image in the mirror. She applied night cream, combed her hair and then placed gloss in her lips. Geet looked at Dev in the mirror. Then Dev got up and stood behind Geet. She smiled at him
Dev then placed his hand on her shoulder, Geet smiled. Internally her body stiffened but she kept it to herself and smiled at Dev. He then bent and placed both his hands on her shoulder, Geet simply smiled and looked down. No, it was not blush, it was her effort to give a try to her relation. Dev picked her up, she got up. He turned her to him, she let him. She genuinely wanted to feel his touch, she wanted to blush as he was trying to bring her closer to him, but it all was not happening, only she was stiffening from inside, keeping a smile on her face. This time she won’t give up.
Dev picked her in his arms and lay her on bed, Geet simply let him do. She was simply following what Maan had suggested. How can Maan’s words have such an effect on her that she was ready to go ahead with Dev just because Maan has asked her too. But why did Dev have no effect on her, he was her husband, he cared for her, they stayed day and night together.
Dev smiled at Geet, she smiled back. Dev placed his hand directly on the knot, she kept holding on with a smile. He opened the knot and then undressed her and himself. He slipped beside her, pressed her curves, Geet was controlling so much that she was putting all pressure on her belly, but she was holding on letting him do it. Dev went on top of her and then pushed himself inside her. Dev kept on going and going and then after he was done he saw tears in the eyes of Geet.
“Geet are you Ok?” he asked but then saw Geet curling herself completely, her stomach was churning with all the pressure she had placed to control Dev’s touch. Naked like that she ran to the bathroom and threw up
“Geet-Geet” Dev was worried. Geet came out in the robe and sat down on the ground near bathroom itself
“I am sorry Dev, I am sorry” Dev kept looking at her and sat down devastated.
As soon as Geet calmed down, Dev asked “You just did it for the sake of it Geet, right? It meant nothing to you? Did you not feel anything?”
“I am sorry Dev, I am sorry. Did you feel it?” Geet had asked this first time to Dev. Dev had never thought this question would come to him. It was always unspoken but understood between them that it was always a problem with Geet’s not feeling about Dev. Questions were never raised to Dev
“Did you feel it, Dev?” Geet asked again. Maan had told her, there was no problem with her, he had shown her how she was perfectly fine. It was his confidence that today for the first time she had raised a question on Dev’s feelings.
“I don’t know Geet. But I tried. I wanted to give our relationship one last try.'' Geet again held her belly tight and ran to the bathroom. She threw up again and came back. Dev handed her the glass of water. Geet was shocked to hear Dev. “What does it mean, one last try.”
Dev took a deep breath and then spoke “Geet, it means nothing is happening between us. We should accept, it is finished between us. Actually there was never anything between us.”
“Finished?” Geet’s shock has no end.
“Dev, what are you talking about? What does this finish mean, Dev?” she shouted
“Geet there is no hurry, you can take your time. I am always there to support you. But we need to accept the truth”
“Take your time? What are you talking about, Dev?”
“I am talking about…” Dev stopped seeing Geet’s scared face but he had to bring it up, he thought
“Divorce” “What?” Geet sulked even more on ground
“Geet we can’t go like this and I cannot take this sainthood life any longer. It’s fine if you cannot do it. I don’t blame you but I need more in life Geet. I can’t cheat you, that’s not my character but I have my manly need Geet”
“So you think it’s all my fault. Can it not be both of us?”
“Both of us?” Dev said shocked. Never expecting questions can be raised on him as well.
“It can be, we both are not compatible with each other.” Geet fought back
“Whatever you may think Geet. It’s not working. I want a life for myself Geet. we are stuck, don’t know about you, but i am losing myself in this suffocation”
All Dev’s talk was shocking for Geet. She had no idea he had such feelings for their relationship. He had been so patient, she respected him. Physicality was one part of it but she valued the depth of relation of husband wife. Dev now was making it all so superficial.
“Dev, you want to end it? How can you? What do you want Dev, tell me, we can work”
“Geet, we have already invested five years of our life in trying, please understand and end it. Divorce is the only solution, I have thought a lot about it. And don’t you worry, I will always be your support in all way as it has been till now”
Geet now knows, Dev has already decided. Actually he had decided it long back but this attempt was just to prove his point to her. Then realization hit her, this was the first time she had given herself to Dev and he was doing all to just prove his point. She has gathered all her courage to go through this and he has done it all to prove his point.
“Everything will be the same Geet, this family and all” But Geet knows nothing will be the same, things are bound to change. “Good Night Dev”
*********
Next morning it was Sunday and Geet woke up late. She saw Dev was gone. Today he was gone from bed, but he has already gone too far away from their relation. Last night talks dawned on Geet and suffocation and restlessness hovered her.
She came out of the room after freshening up.Her mind was not working, she let it stay in not working mode. Breakfast was ready when she reached the dining area. Geet took a look around the house, it was such a big house and beautifully decorated. She and Megha have done it. It was her house, the house where she would relax after days work, it was the house where she would cry out of frustration, it was her house where they did small family party, get together. She would be happily running around to see if all were satisfied. It won’t be hers anymore and Dev says nothing will change
“Good morning Geet” Nina broke Geet’s thought
“Good Morning Mom” how long will she have the right to call Nina as Mom. However professional and selfish Nina was, she was Mom for five years.
“Why do you look tired even after your leave break? Don’t tell me you want to extend your leave”
“No Mom, I am fine. Will join from tomorrow. ”
''Good. With your talent Geet, it’s unfair to sit at home and waste it” As Geet was having her breakfast, she was lost in her thoughts. All Nina cared about was her firm, Geet could not get leave because her firm runs on Geet’s talent but she will not be part of company shares because she was not a blood and spouse of Dev.
Dev - he had on his own decided to give her divorce and he had himself decided to go into physical intercourse with her to just prove her point.
Everyone was setting up her life, making decisions for her life as per their need. She thought this was her family, but here two main people of her life, took decision on her behalf as per their need. Was this actually her family, which she was scared to lose ?
Geet needed to talk to someone, who could it be. Megha and Aakash. But Megha was Dev’s sister as well. How will she feel knowing the reason? How much will Megha’s suggestion help her? She can be a friend but not a guide. Geet felt directionless and in dire need of a friend and a guide. Ohh God, how she wished she had someone like that. But she had no one other than this family, who will be this close.
Thanks 🙏 so much my dear readers for giving good number of likes at start of this FF . I will work to keep up your expectations. As I have already told you, this is complete Maaneet story but slow paced. I will not say more or not repeat this as it will spoil the real feel of story.
