Chapter 66

                Part – 66

Next morning…

Geet is fast asleep cuddling with Maan…

Maan has just woke up to see the beautiful sight of his Mishty happily sleeping still clinging on to him like a baby to its mother…

Maan kisses her forehead and she tightens her hold…

She is half awake…

Maan tries not to wake her as he makes her comfortable by pulling the duvet up… Maan wants to protect her bare skin from the chillness of the blower above them…

Geet: Maan

Maan: hmm

Geet: ek baat poochoon?

Maan: haan poocho Geet

Geet: app mujhse kitna pyar karte ho?

Maan: phir se wahi sawaal?

Geet: aap jawaab kyun nahi dete ho?

Maan doesn’t understand what she wants to hear.. that he loves her more than Sameera?

Maan keeps avoiding the question thinking on this line…

Maan: tum ek hi sawaal ko bar bar poochke pak nahi jaathi?

Geet: ek bar jawaab miljatha toh mein phir kabhi nahi poochoongi, promise

Maan: mujhe kaise patha ki tummare limit kya hai?

Geet: aap ka matalab?

Maan: mein jitna bhi kahoon tumme toh lagega ki who kaafi nahi hai

Geet: aaisa kuch nahi hoga, bolo na? Mujhe sunna hai, bas ek bar

Maan: achcha tum bathao ki tum mujhse kitne pyaar karthi ho?

Geet: bathaoon?

Maan: haan, mein bhi sunna chahtha hoon

Geet: mein bathathi toh phir aapko bhi bathana padega

Maan: teek hai

Geet: pacca?

Maan: haan pacca

Geet: mein aapse kudh se bhi zyada pyar karthi hoon

Maan smiles…

Geet: ab aapki bari hai

Maan: mujhe aaise poetic batein karna nahi aatha Geet

Geet: mere liye try karona

Maan: I don’t believe in it, it’s all exaggeration

Geet: but it makes you happy na?

Maan: tum joot se kush hogi?

Geet hits him… toh mein jooti hoon?

Maan: dekha, ek joot se kitna problem hoti hai

Geet: aap topic change mat karo, aur bathao ki aap mujhse kitna pyar karte ho

Maan wants to put an end to this question somehow…

Maan: toh tum jaana chahti ki mein tumse kitna pyar karta hoon?

Geet: haan

Maan: toh jawab ke liye tayaar raho Geet

Geet: mein kab se tayaar hoon

Maan: aaj tumme mein aaise jawaab detha hoon ki, aaj ke badh tum mujhse iss sawaal karna bhool jaaogi

Maan starts answering her, not in words but by his actions…

Sach mein Geet iss ke liye tayaar nahi thi…

Geet is too delicate for his intense love… Maan unleashes his wild desires… he wants to show how much he loves her… she soon realizes that it’s more than what she can handle….

Geet can’t take it… par kabhi kabhi wild hona toh banta hai… you need variety in everything..

Maan doesn’t stop as soon as he is finished making love, he soothes her aches with his warm hug later..

Geet is not afraid to ask the question again… she deserves to be kept reminded of the depth of his love every now and then…

Just then Maan gets a call from the tour organizer.. they are a bit late…

Geet hears Maan talking…

Geet tries to get up and get ready..

Maan pulls her back…

Geet: Maan, hum late ho jayenge, chodo mujhe

Maan: koi jaldhi nahi Geet, sab abhi breakfast kar rahe hai, we’ll catch up with them for the ride, I don’t care about missing breakfast

Geet: what? But I’m hungry

Maan: hwz it possible that you are always hungry?

Geet: just like you are always ready

Maan: it’s not my fault, you keep triggering my hunger

Geet: Maan, mujhe bhooke nahi rehna hai, patha nahi ab aage jungle camps mein achcha khana milta bhi ya nahi

Maan: Geet, your back bag could feed 10 people

Geet: that’s just snacks

Maan: I know Geet, I’ve already asked him to pack something for you

Geet: thanks Maan

Geet kisses him and jumps out to get ready… she is so full of energy… Maan realizes how he has lost his zeal only after seeing her…

Maan is happy that he found Geet… she brings out the best in him and keeps reminding him that there’s always a new beginning no matter what…

And with the same enthusiasm they start their bike ride….

First they cross the world highest motorable pass Khardungla & decent to Nubra valley. It’s freezing out there and Geet clings to Maan to keep herself warm..

They stay the night at the tent and enjoy the dark cold night together… Geet loves every bit of the journey while Maan gets to explore a new side of himself, Geet deewana…

Next day they take a mesmerizing ride following Shyok river to reach Pangong Lake. While Geet is thoroughly enjoying the new adventure each day, Maan becomes a full time crazy fan of her…

A week flies in no time and they are back to Manali…

Geet can’t stop talking about her new adventure… Maan becomes a happy listener as they head back to Delhi..

Maan has already started to miss the unhindered joy of being with her which is yet to become a reality in his life…

Maan hopes to break all the chains sooner and set himself free to make the rest of the journey as happy as this one..

Maan is compelled to go back to being the caged prisoner of his own I’ll fate…

Back in Delhi…

Maan has gone to KC and returns late..

Geet is waiting for him..

Maan comes back and finds Geet half asleep…

Maan tries not to disturb her, but Geet gets up seeing Maan..

Geet: Maan, aap kab aaye?

Geet finds him trying to warm the food… .

Geet helps him and they have dinner together…

Maan: this is so yummy Geet

Geet: you like it ?

Maan: hmm, did you make this?

Geet: hmm, it’s a Sanjeev Kapoor recipe, pasta in makhni sauce, but this is not like what he cooked

Maan: forget about his version, I like it very much, it’s different from the ones I regularly have, this is the best pasta I have had

Geet: sachi?

Maan: hmm

Maan must be in a good mood…
