To Love Again - part 12
Daadi tried to make things easy for Geet in all the way, but there were some important things to complete before the actual function.
For the 'mehndhi' ceremony Geet didn't want to take part in it at all. Daadi tried her level best to make Geet do it saying lot of things 'Geet, as you know Parvathi is my best friend and if we don't go to participate in her daughter's wedding she will be sad'
'I know Daadima, but why should I put on mehndhi? After all I'm not getting married..'Geet will never forget any reason.
'Geet..I'm not in an age of enjoying all these activities..I don't even have a daughter..' Daadi did her heart winning act of crying
Geet was touched by Daadi's words. More than that she could not bear to see Daadi crying. 'Sorry Daadima..I will put on mehndhi if you want and do anything else if you want me to' Geet assured Daadi.
Daadi was relieved to know how much Geet loves her and cares her. 'that's like my daughter..now let's go change your clothes' Daadi took Geet to her room smiling.
Daadi arranged the crowd to do mehndi for Geet in the mansion. All the ladies praised Geet of her beauty and told that Savitri Devi is so lucky to have such a daughter-in-law
Geet was confused when she heard the words 'daughter-in-law'. She isn't Savitri Devi's daughter-in-law yet.
Geet was quite shocked to see the mehndhi on her hands and legs. She adored the beauty of the patterns. She gasped her mouth in shock when she saw Maan's name on her palm. She bit her lip tightly to come out of her dream, if she was dreaming. It looked so real. Maan's name was written on her hand.
A lady from the crowd whispered into her ears 'if the colour of henna is dark, then your husband will love you more'. Husband? Is she crazy? She isn't getting married any ways.
When they went Geet complained to Daadi again 'Daadima, you told me that we are just doing this for your friend's daughter? but look at me..those ladies...errrr..they put henna all over my hands and legs..and see they wrote Maan's name also'
'So that's your concern, Geet? if they wrote Maan's name on your hand, then is it such a big problem? I didn't know that you hate Maan..'Daadi made an angry face at Geet
Geet didn't want to make Daadi angry or sad. So she quickly said 'no Daadima..I don't hate Maan, but they could have put less henna, I guess'
Daadi made her to sit on the bed and called to check on Maan
'Hello, Maan..when will you come back dear?' her voice revealved the concern she had for her grand son.
'Daadima. I will be back soon, how is Geet?' he didn't want to hide his feelings for Geet as well
'Geet is here in my room. please try to come soon and take care' Daadi put down the phone before she spoke to Geet.
An hour later, Daadi helped Geet to clean her hands. Daadi couldn't help herself without commenting upon seeing Geet's hands 'wow! Geet. see the colour of the mehndhi. it's so dark, I'm sure tomorrow it will be darker than this'
'Are you sure Daadima? the lady who put it on told me that if it is dark, then my husband will love you more, but I don't have a husband. and further more I'm not getting married even' Geet wanted to know the answers
Daadi had a grin on her face. She was thinking of something serious 'Geet, you don't know. but you are getting married to Maan and that too will be tomorrow'
precap: Will Geet turn out to be the next run away bride?
