Chapter 49

              Part – 49

Dadi: tum log itne jaldi aagaye?

Dadi and her naughty thoughts..

Maan: mein aapko kaise wait karwatha hoon Dadi?

Maan knows how to tackle his Dadima…

Dadi: I’m just leaving, I’m too tired know, Geet, aap serve karlo, Nakul has left

Dadi indicates that the area is clear, you people carry on…

Geet: ji Dadima, koi problem nahi

Dadi leaves immediately…

Geet tries to serve when Maan pull her and asks her to sit ..

Maan: no formalities Mrs. Maan, beitjao, I can serve too

Geet sits with a big smile…

Maan serves and he just can’t ignore her however hard he tries…

What happened to Geet? She looks so dangerously sexy tonight… is it Dadi’s clever selection of the sexy saree or is it because of the extra glow that she is married to Maan now…

Geet is feeling the heat of his look.. she can’t even swallow a bite…

She struggles to concentrate on what is on her plate and is mistaking the kheer for the dal… it’s a saffron infused rice kheer which looks like dal only…

Maan catches her mistake…

Maan: Geet, hwz the dal?

Geet puts it in her mouth and it’s too sweet…

Maan: bahut meeta haina?

Geet innocently nods her head…

Maan takes a bite of his roti with the actual dal…

Maan: but mine is too spicy

Geet is confused….

Maan: maybe because you are too sweet like the kheer

Geet then takes a look at her plate…. She realizes her mistake now .. actually it was all Maan’s fault… it’s the side effects of his mischievous mind and his nasty looks…

Geet: woh mein

Maan: koi baat nahi Geet, tum shadi ki kushi mein sab kuch bhool gayi ho, chalo mein madat karta hoon

What’s his new plan? Geet is already not able to handle whatever he has done…

Maan pulls her plate and starts to feed her… chalo, yahi bakhi tha?

Geet would be happy if it was any other time, but now both of them have lost control of their feelings… specially Geet… At least Maan has prior experience, but for Geet it’s a bit too much to handle for the first time….

Maan is ready for everything but yet not ready?

What is he planning to do with her? Keep torturing her like this all night?

Geet who is a slow eater gobbles down the roti in a minute… she wants to put an end to this quickly…

Geet: I’m done

Maan: don’t you want to try the kheer, it’s very delicious, oh, you might know that already

Maan teases her….

Geet: mujhe sona hai

Geet had to do something…

Maan: tum jao, mein thode dher mein aatha hoon

Geet runs from there immediately… she goes and lies down on the couch and Maan comes after a long time, for he knows he is disturbing Geet pretty badly…

Maan is happy to see her asleep on the couch… luckily for Maan she has changed into her night suit…

Maybe it was that saree…

No, it was his guilt of the injustice he is doing to his newly wed wife that made him act weird… he wants her to know that he too is in the same state as her… he too yearns to be with her… he wants her to know that it’s not her fault for his refrain but only his fault, for whatever is not happening the way it should be…. and moreover she is the most beautiful women in the whole world for Maan… there is no denying that fact… He was in a confused state of choosing between the right thing, to keep her happy now or to save her from any worries later… both are right in a way, but he had to think about not hurting her more than making her happy….

He is angry with himself for not being able to fulfill what an ordinary husband would fulfill, forget about the high expectations of her from the Maan Singh Khurana, as he often takes pride in boasting….

That’s why he wanted to postpone the marriage, to keep her away which would have saved both of them from this turmoil… it’s hard to ignore your feelings when you’re living with your love, your weakness would be exposed often…

Maan falls asleep looking at her from the bed…

Next morning….

Maan is getting ready to go to KC….

Geet waits for him to get ready first for he has to go to KC on time…

Geet lies on the couch leisurely….

Maan: good morning Geet

Geet: morning Maan

Geet looks into his eyes while he is looking elsewhere at her…

Maan wished her so that she would get out of the couch… but now he wants to get in the couch with her…

Geet takes the quilt and covers herself as she pretends to get back to sleep…. She didn’t sleep well last night…

Maan pulls the quilt and just keeps staring her……

Geet panics…

Maan: utto Geet

Geet: par Maan, mujhe sona hai, itne jaldi utke kya karoongi?

Maan: kya karogi? Office nahi jaana hai kya?

Geet: office?

Geet thinks about the scenerio at KC…

Wahan jaake Maan ke saath pura din rehna toh namunkeen hoga, Maan ab Geet ko ek alag hi andaz mein dekta hai, abhi bhi Geet issiliye apne aap ko cover karthi

Maan: remember, you are still my secretary and not Mrs. Maan for everyone at KC, you should be punctual or you know your boss is a dhust danav, that’s what you call me na?

Geet: aap ko kaise patha?

Maan: you wrote it in one of your notes and gave it to me to check for corrections

Geet: aap ne mujhe pareshaan kiya hoga uss waqt

Maan: I know my secretary better, get ready soon

Maan indirectly tells her to still keep the marriage a secret…

Geet knows that he is doing this for some reason, she has to find out what’s troubling him.. for that she has to do as he wishes…

Geet: now I understand, I’ll be ready in a minute, aap jao, mein peeche hi aathi hoon

Geet gets ready slowly and thinks that she would skip breakfast, and can have something at the canteen with Pinky today… that way she can stay away from Maan’s bhuri nazar for a while…

But dadi is eagerly waiting for her in the mansion…

Geet comes in a hurry…

Dadi: dhere bete, itna bhi kya jaldi hai?

Geet: office jaana haina

Dadi smiles..: toh tum donno ek dusre se alag nahi reh sakte? Good, this is what I was waiting for

Geet: ok, bye Dadima, I’m late

Dadi: Geet, rukho Geet

Dadi stops her…. But why?
