Chapter 77

                 Part – 77

Next morning….

Maan wakes up and finds Geet sleeping peacefully in his embrace….

Maan doesn’t want to disturb her… she has been through tough times in the past week and Maan has to make sure that she is at peace at this time….

Maan keeps watching her and promises to himself that he would not let anyone ruin her happiness….

Maan tries to substitute the pillow for his arms but Geet holds on to him tight as he tries to free himself….

Maan then let’s her sleep comfortably as he pulls her even closer….

After a while Geet slowly opens her eyes and looks at Maan sleeping…

Geet is surprised to see him sleeping still…

Geet: good morning Maan

Geet whispers in his ears to wake him up….

Maan opens his eyes and looks at her…

Geet: Maan, dekho subha ho gayi

Maan smiles looking at her smiling face….: Morning Geet, subha subha tum itni kush lag rahi ho

Geet: hmm, mujhe yakeen hi nahi hota ki mere andar ek aur jaan rehta hai

Maan: I just want to see you happy like this forever

Geet: jab aap mere paas ho toh meri kushi ki koi kami nahi hai, ye kushi bhi aap ke wajah se hi mila hai Maan

Maan: Geet, ye one man show nahi hai, aur mard chahe kitna bhi bada mahaan ho, par woh kabhi ek bache ko peitha nahi kar sakta, it’s a privilege given to you girls by nature

Geet: hmm, and it’s a special feeling that you don’t get to experience

Maan: that’s not fair, I’m going to experience this along with you

Geet: toh aaj se aap healthy diet mein raho aur mujhe apne mann pasand khana khane do

Maan: par Geet, aaisa nahi kar sakte hai, mein tumme wada karta hoon ki aaj se mein bhi wahi kaoonga jo tum khathi

Geet: aap toh kushi kushi diet mein rahoge, please Maan, mujhe chai toh pine do, aur din mein ek meal meri cheat meal hoga, teek hai?

Maan smiles at her kiddish wishes…

Maan: teek hai, par woh cheat meal bhi mein decide karoonga

Geet: ok, done

Geet jumps up in a hurry happily… .

Maan holds her back…

Maan: sambalke Geet, ab tum ek nahi do do jaan ho, aur itna bhi kya zaroori kaam hai

Geet: Dadi ko ye kabar dena haina?

Maan too was waiting to give the good news to Dadima…

Maan: rukho Geet, mein bhi aatha hoon, pehle fresh hoke jaathe hai

Geet: haan

They go to see Dadima in her room..

Dadi is busy having her coffee while reading the newspaper…

Maan: good morning Dadi

Geet: good morning Dadima

Dadi is surprised to see them together early in the morning…

Dadi: morning bete, aur subah subah tum dono ek saath?

Maan: hum aap se kuch kehna chahte hai, haina Geet ?

Geet suddenly feels shy…

Geet: ji Dadima

Maan: toh tum hi bathao Geet

Geet looks at Maan and stares him… why can’t he say it ?

Geet: aap bathao Maan

Dadi: hare, koi toh kaho, hum pareshaan ho rahe hai

Maan: it’s nothing to worry dadi, it’s a very good news

Dadi: so why the hesitation? Koi jaldhi bathao, hum bhi kush honge

Maan: Dadi, aap pardadi honewale ho

Dadi: is it?

Maan: haan dadi, Geet is pregnant

Dadi: that’s really the good news I was waiting for, congrats Geet, come here

Dadi hugs Geet…

Dadi: Maan, congrats to you too, I’m so happy, I’ll ask Nakul to make Rasmalai, it’s time for celebration

Maan: but Dadima, what about your diabetes?

Dadi: Maan, I have only a few more occasions to celebrate, and you won’t let me even enjoy them?

Geet: I’ll inform Nakul Dadima, aap fikar mat karo, we’ll have our Rasmalai together

Dadi: see, that’s my bahu, always ready to fulfill my wishes, pehla bacha aur ab Rasmalai

Geet blushes…

Maan: ok then, you two fulfill your wishes, I’m getting late

Geet: Maan, mein?

Maan: tummari chutti hai aaj, aaj pura din tum dadi ke saath celebrate karo, aaj tummare cheat day hai

Geet: thanks Maan

Dadi: ye kya ho raha hai?

Geet: it’s a long story Dadima, mein bathathi hoon ki aapka potha kitne bade Dhust Danav hai

Dadi: hummare Maan aur Dhust Danav, ye kaise ho sakta hai Geet, zaroor aapki koi galatfami hui hogi

Geet narrates how Maan changed the menu at KC pantry just for her the baby’s sake and how he quashed her wishes to at least have a tea…

Dadi then accepts that Maan is a big Dhust Danav, personal experience…

Dadi: I’m so happy Geet bete, but Maan is scared, you know, he might not show it but he is, I know it, because Maan loves you so much

Geet too has realized that lately….

Geet: I know Dadima, specially after knowing about our baby

Dadi: nahi beta, bache se zyada Maan ko aapki fikar hai, sometimes he might be annoying but you should understand him

Dadi says that Maan’s past does make him go crazy a little bit at times…

Like banning chai coffee at KC..

Geet: you don’t worry Dadima, I married him after knowing everything about him, meine MSK ko pyar kiya hai aur jaise jaise mein unko jaanne lagi hoon, mera pyaar toh badtha hi jaatha hai

Dadi: that’s why, I happy that Maan got you

Geet: Dadi, aap toh hamesha unke batein hi karte ho

Dadi: kyunki aap Maan ke barein mein hi baat karna chahte hai

Geet: chalo aaj hum kahin bahar jaathe hai

Dadi is also bored sitting in her room for days…

Dadi: that’s a good idea Geet

Geet: aap bathao, aap kahan jaana chahte ho?

Geet ko laga dadi koi Mandir jaana chahenge….

Dadi: Hauz khas jaathe hai

Geet is confused… she hasn’t heard anything like that before…

Geet: teek hai Dadima, aap tayaar ho jao, mein bhi jaldi ready hothi hoon

Dadi informs Chandu to get the car ready…

Chandu is Dadi’s personal driver, he knows her condition and he helps her accordingly…

They are at Hauz khas village..

Geet didn’t know that such a place exists in Delhi..

Being a curious traveler , Geet loves the place…

She immediately googles and finds out about that place..

She asks Chandu to stay back in the car for she would like to take care of Dadi today…

Chandu is hesitant… he knows what will Maan do if he finds out about this….

Dadi: don’t worry, tummare Maan sab ko patha nahi chalega, aur hum thode dher apne family ke saath enjoy karna chathe hai

Chandu then stays in the car…
