Part 36:

"All the best love" he said while kissing her cheek.

"Thanks, but Maan tum time pe ponch jaana, for the inauguration"

"Maan Singh Khurana is always on time" he said smirking.

She just rolled her eyes.

"Attitude huh?" he said pulling her close.

"No it means its time for you to leave and for me to get ready, sweeto!!" she said pinching his cheeks.

"GEET!!!" he said furrowing brows.

"Bye" she said giggling.

He then walked out of the room, and after 30 seconds he came back and pecked her on the lips.

"You forget my morning kiss" he said running out the door.

She stood smiling.

"Bua aapko kya pasand hai?" Geet asked picking a maroon sari.

"Mujhe yeh brown badi sundar lag rahi hai" Sumitra said smiling.

"Acha aap yeh pack kar dijiye bhaiyya" Sonia said while Rano pulled out a blue sari for Sonia.

"Aur yeh bhi" Rano said smiling.

"Geet tumne kuch liya?" Sonia asked again for the 5^th time.

"No mom mujhe nahi achi lagi" she said putting the maroon sari back.

"Kyun?" Rano asked.

"Here look that is a beautiful red one there, Maan ko bhi pasand aaye gi" Sumitra said pointing to the left.

"Acha" Geet said while texting Maan.

They passed by some shops.

"Now we have to leave in 10 minutes, car tak chaliyay" Geet said looking at her charm bracelet Maan gave her, which now had a tiny round crystalline watch dangling from it.

"Beautiful bracelet!" Sumitra said looking at Geet's wrist.

"Maan ne diya tha" she said blushing.

"Bachon ke kapde lete agar koi khushkhabari hoti" Sumitra said looking over at the kid shop.

Geet looked down.

"Jab bhi Maan aur meri baat aati hai inko bache yaad aajate hain" Geet said blushing.

"Hey, gorgeous" he said sliding a hand around her waist.

There was media and all the family members present…

"Time to cut the ribbon" Sonia said kissing Geet's cheek.

"Uncle app aur Geet ki mehnat isme lagi hai, please come" Maan said smiling at Geet.

Sukhdev smiled proudly while coming to Geet's side kissing her forehead.

And Geet looked over to Maan smiling wholeheartedly.

"I love you" she mouthed.

He smiled at his wife's accomplishments.

And they cut the ribbon and then the security allowed people to come in…

Geet turned to the press who were stunned by the beautiful designer interior of the boutique.

"Aap ne bohat mehnat ki hai ispe jo keh saaf saaf dikh raha hai, aap kya kehna chaahain gi iske bare main?"

"I would like to thank my dad for this, I love him and this is a huge accomplishment and he has been there with me step-by-step. And obviously Maan who supported me and encouraged me to work on the designs even when I was tired" she said sweetly.

"Aap ko lagtaa hai ke aap doosre bade bade designers ka muqabla kar payaingi?"

"Well, not at the moment because I have only started. People need to like my work first. I have had booked orders from before from my catalogue I had promoted. But Manish Malhotra is my favourite designer and a friend too. He had encouraged me too, so I think that you really need to be in this for a while in order to go far. And I have a long way to go" she said looking at the lady who had asked the question.

Maan stood there proud.

"Sir aapka kya kehna hai?"

"I have always wanted my daughter to do whatever she had felt happy in doing, and I wish her the best" Sukhdev said.

"Aur aap apni patni ki kabliyat pe kya kehna chahain gay?" the other female asked dazed by Maan's smile.

"I am very proud of her and she deserves the best" he said while putting an arm around her shoulder.

In those moments Geet experienced a total new feeling she had never experienced before. With her husbands arm around her and her dad standing beside them smiling she felt weird along with content. It was a total new experience. Two people whom she loved dearly, and they loved her even more. Her dad whom she didn't belong to anymore and her husband who she now belonged to. She felt overjoyed at the fact that they had encouraged her and loved her and now she was at a new level in her life. A girls life changes so much…..she thought smiling.

As everyone looked around Sumitra came over to a giggling Geet and a witty Maan.

"Dekho meri jaan ab yeh masla bhi hal ho gaya, ab toh kuch soch lo" she said looking at Maan.

"Woh bua Geet settled ho jaaye phir sochain gay" Maan said blushing.

"Aur kitna settle ho gi? Sab kuch toh hai….aur waise main aapko bataoon aaj jab maine bachon ke kapdon ko dekha toh mujhe tum dono ki yaad aagyai" she said sighing.

Geet looked at Maan very embarrassed.

"Bua jab hona hoga toh ho jaaye ga" she said a bit annoyed now, and left to go over to see the customers.

Maan saw this and was amused.

"Maan mujhay acha nahi lag raha yeh bua ki zabardasti" Geet said annoyed.

"Sweetheart it's not like were doing anything because she wants us to have kids. Waise bhi jab se who aayi hain we haven't done anything so you can't say we are being forced. Jo bhi hoga hamaari marzi se hoga and tab dekha jaaye ga. Relax" he said pulling her over to kiss her forehead.

"Hmm, tum theek keh rahe ho jab bache hone hon gay toh ho jaayain gay. And it's not like we have sex because others want us to have babies" she said watching the movie infront of her.

"See, so just relax" he said kissing her cheeks.

"I love you Maani" she said happily closing her eyes.

He brushed his lips across hers.

"Wow it's been after so many days I've heard that name you call me. It feels special" he said softly kissing her smiling lips.

As they watched the movie Geet's head was in Maan's lap…

"It's so boring" Geet said pinching him.

"OUCH!!!! Khud koi taste nahi hai toh mujhe mat kaho I like it" he said rubbing his arm as she giggled.

"Once upon a time in Mumbai" she said rolling her eyes.

"Dekho Geet aadi movie ke baad tum keh rahi ho" he said making her sit up.

She was about to say something just as she ran to the bathroom…..
