Chapter 98

                   Part - 98

Next day....

Geet is determined to learn swimming before Aditi or atleast along with Aditi...

She has got the confidence that Maan has the potential to save her if at all she drowns...

Maan and Aditi are at the pool...

Geet sneaks in...

Maan just notices her but acts as if she is invisible....

Maan is playing with Aditi and showing her his back strokes...

Geet can't miss the sight of Maan's macho torso as he swims around...

Geet keeps staring him...

Aditi has seen Geet...

Aditi: mama mama

Maan then slowly turns and looks at Geet....

Maan: tum humme check karne aayii ho Geet

Geet: nahi, mein toh aawein aayi

Maan: yahan tak aagayi toh aaj shuru karein?

Geet: kya?

Geet lost all the courage looking at the water....

Maan: come on Geet, try karke toh dekho

Maan gives his hand to help her get in without fear...

Geet is still pretty scared.....

Just get in the water and get used to it...

Maan gently pulls her into the pool...

Geet could stand comfortably at this end... 

The water is just 4 feet high...

She is holding the pipe on the side tightly....

Maan gives her some time to relax..

Maan: Aditi, come , let's show Geet how it's done

Maan stretches his arms and asks Aditi to lie upon them as he helps her float by lifting her in the water... Aditi flaps her legs and hands and she moves forward....

Maan: see, it's so easy, even Aditi can do it

Geet is still scared....

Maan:  why don't you trust me at least once? I won't let you drown, you have seen that yesterday itself

Geet: I already knew that, you'll definitely save me for Aditi's sake

Maan is annoyed hearing that...

Maan: har baat mein Aditi ko beech mein kyun lathi ho Geet? Kya mein apne liye tumme nahi bachatha? 

Geet keeps staring him in misbelief...

Maan: kya sirf Aditi ko tummare zaroorat hai? Mujhe kyun nahi? Tum iss baat ko kab samjoge Geet?

Geet feels that Maan is genuinely hurt....

She then tries to pacify him...

Geet: ab mujhe sikhaoge ya nahi?

Maan is happy at least she believes that Maan would save her anytime...

Maan stretches his arms as he did for Aditi....

Geet hesitates...

Can he easily hold her like Aditi?

Geet thinks she has put on some weight too....

Maan: you won't weigh so much under water, you'll automatically float if you lift your legs and stretch your hands like this

Maan floats on the water by doing that....

Geet still doesn't believe that she can do that....

Maan asks her to stay where she is and not to leave the pipe until she is confident enough to move...

Maan gets near her and slowly lifts her legs...

Geet could feel herself floating as Maan puts his arms beneath her tummy and lifts her....

Geet's top has lifted above and Maan is touching her bare tummy...

Maan asked her to wear the swim suit he got her.. then she wouldn't have had this problem...

Geet freezes....

Maan: Geet, now kick your feet like Aditti did

Geet is not in a position to listen....

Maan: Geet, Geet, kya kar rahi ho?

Geet gets back to her senses....

She tries to kick and is still in an enchanted state....

Maan sees her hold loosening and drags her to the middle of the pool...

Maan: kick your legs Geet

Geet starts to kick still not getting over the trance...

Maan moves along as she floats with the help of Maan....

Geet thinks that she won't learn anything if she is with Maan...

The moment Maan takes off his arms to let her swim on her own Geet comes back to reality and panics... She stops kicking and starts drowning....

Geet relaxes when she catches hold of Maan.....

Maan helps her reach the sides....

Geet: I can't

Maan: you can Geet, you did so well

Geet doesn't know what she did.... She was in her own world.....

Maan: chalo kal continue kartha hai

Geet is relieved that she has saved herself today....

That evening Maan is waiting for Geet and Aditi to come from their afternoon naps....

But they are still in the room...

Maan thinks maybe they are tired after the swimming lessons...

Maan goes to find if they are still asleep....

Maan enters the room and finds it to be too quiet...

They must be asleep only....

Maan gets in and finds Aditi sleeping and Geet too lying beside her but Geet is awake....

Maan thinks Geet is waiting for Aditi to wake up....

Maan speaks in a low voice...

Maan: Geet, can I get you some tea? It's almost six

Geet never misses her chai....

Geet: nahi

Geet's voice looks dull and she is looking upset....

Maan: what's wrong Geet? Why are you upset?

Geet: woh Adiiti ki tabiyat kharab ho gayi

Aditi sneezes.... she has caught the cold....

Maan touches Aditi's forehead and it's pretty hot....
