Living without you(Maneet ff)part 16-pg46 - Page 24

Maan had carried a sleeping Geet to her room.Laying her down,he fixed the pillow and gently put her head down on it.Bending down he placed an innocent kiss on her before going to change in to his nightware.After changing Maan closed the light and set his alarm,because Geet had an early appointment tomorrow.Closing the light Maan slipped in beside his wife and took her in his arms.He put a hand on her stomach,as if he was protecting his child.

The next day Geet had woken up because she felt a wave of nausea.Great,here comes morning sickness.She ran to the washroom only to find Maan brushing his teeth,upon seeing her he moved away and held her hair back as she threw up.Helping her wash up,Maan gave her a peck on the cheek and told her to get ready.She had clutched on to him,telling him she did not like this feeling.Maan had tried to calm her down as Geet started to cry.Maan closed his eyes knowing that the mood swings would take over his wife.

"Dr Rohit will see you now!"Maan pulled his wife up and took her to the room where they waited a few minutes for the doctor.

"Hello I am Dr Rohit."Maan looked at the man checking his wife out,feeling his blood boil.He grabbed his Wife's hand and took her out.Demanding for a lady doctor.Geet rolled her eyes as she saw a teenanger whistl at her as she wore a backless sari.Maan covered her up with his coat.He did not like anyone looking at his wife in the wrong way.Geet relaxed in his protective embrace

"Geet I swear you are not wearing this saari in public again!Ajkal zamna theek nahi hai."He said pouting before Geet laughed and gave him a peck on his nose.

"Yes,sorry Dr Anwesha was supposed to see you!Sorry again.She is in room 101."She said fearfully leading them to the room.

"Oh hey Mr and Mrs Khurana!Im so glad you guys are here!So shall we begin the examination."She said as she did a daily checkup on Geet.After the check-up was done she back in and frowned slightly.

"Mr Khurana you are supposed to be paying close attention to her weight!I do not see any weight gain!You do understand it can be dangerous for the baby right!She needs to be watchful,it is her first baby.First pregnancies are very tough.I want you to give her these vitamin supplements each day.Make sure she gets enough calcium .Other than that we are fine."Geet held his wives hand griping it

"Maan do not drive that fast! The baby is going to be fine.I promise I will eat a lot!I want this too Maan.Dont worry na honey."Geet said taking his hand that was resting on the arm rest.

"Promise me Geet..You will take care of yourself!"She looked at his pleading eyes and nodded.

They had come back from the doctors,and Maan had pushed Geet to the sofa while he went to the kitchen.

"Geet here drink the milk and have this toast."

"Maan I hate milk."Maan had almost fallen for her charms.

"Geet you're not a 2 year old that I need to bribe you to drink this milk.Did you hear what the doctor said,you have already experienced depression and your underweight for a women who is almost two months pregnant. Let's go."Maan had seen the tears in her eyes as she drank the milk.

"That's my girl"

"Maan sub kahan hain?"

"Nainatara,Pooja and Arohi are gone to visit their parents.My brothers are at work,and Mom and Dad are gone out.I think Dadi is resting."He said snuggling on the couch with her.

"Oh"

"You should sleep"

"But I do not feel like it."

"Please sweety,just a small nap."

"Maan please I want to lay with you."

"But-"Geet cut him off by capturing his lips.Suddenly maan realized something and pulled away

"Wait this won't hurt my baby right?"He asked making Geet roll her eyes.

"No maan,our child is perfectly fine.We were just kissing."

"ow."Geet said feeling her neck hurt.

"Are you hurt?is my baby okay?Should I call the doctor? I am so sorry."He kept rambling on.

"Maan aap kuch ziada nahi worry ker rahe ho."She said cupping his face.

"I'm scared,I really want this Geet."

"Don't worry."

"hhmmm"he said still not convinced.

"Okay I am going to take a nap upstairs happy."She said starting to walk to the stairs.

"Wait let me carry you,I do not want you falling"He said scooping her up.

"Maan PUT ME DOWN NOW."

"Why?"

"right now maan,stop acting like a child, I'm a grown women I can surely carry myself and this child. Stop being so possessive Maan"

She was fuming with anger,they had just returned home a few hours ago.Hoping to get some quite time with her husband,and here he was annoying her to death.Geet shot him a glare before stomping up the stairs to her room,showing her anger to Maan.

"uh-oh looks like my pota is in trouble with his wife."Dadi said as she stood behind her

"Dadi,dekho na!Geet doesn't take care of herself..You know doctor said she is underweight!Dadi this child is so important to me!I really want to have her child,I want to hold my child right now"Maan said like a 4 year old boy wanting a new toy.

"Maan,first you have to take care of her na!Chalo go rest with my bahu!"Dadi said smiling at her child -like married grandson.

Maan entered the room to see his wife,sleeping in an uncomfortable position. He smiled as he heard her smile in pure bliss.Bending down by her stomach he placed his hand protectively on it.

"hi baby,its papa.I promise to take good cae of you.Apko pathahai your mama is naraz at me"Geet had woken up when Maan had touched her stomach.She kept her eyes closed as she listened to his conversation with their child.She felt her eyes become moist and slowly her tears fell.

"Aur naraz ho ker,chup chup ke rooth bhi hain apki Mama!Baby app hi batao main kiya karoon."He said looking at his wife before wiping her tears."He laid down beside his wife scooping her up in his arms.He caressed her hair and hummed a tune that made her fall asleep. Words were not needed, because he knew she had forgiven him.

"Maan beta?"Dadi said as she knocked on the door,she turned the door knob only to find it open.When she opened it she smiled at the scene infront of her.Their lay Maan and Geet,Maan having one his hand around Geet,and the other one protectively lay on her stomach.Geet was cuddled in to his chest.She called Sanaya who was passing by.Sanaya Khurana felt comfortable, not because she knew they were talking but because she knew that all her children were now happily married. She took her phone out and clicked a photo of the two, and saved it on her phone.Grabbing her mother in law she let the couple rest in peace.

"Maan."Geet said coming in to the room with a cup of tea.Geet had woken up an hour ago as she started to crave golgappe. Thanks to Mr Khurana she had gotten her golgappe in a jiffy. She smiled at her husband who slept with the pillow, hugging it tightly.She kept the cup of tea on the side table, tucking her hair behind her ear she sat down by her husband. Leaning on him, she gently placed a hand on his head. Moving his hair back a bit. She bends down to place a kiss on his cheeks, hearing the jingle of her bangles Maan grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of him.

"Good evening Mrs Khurana."He said as Geet looked away feeling shy.Maan placed a kiss on her cheeks and sat up on the bed.

"Geet,why are you doing work sweety?Let the servants do that?"

"Mr khurana you are MY husband, and taking care of you is my right.I am not gonna let anyone take that right away from me."She said smiling as Maan offered a sip of his coffee.

"you know this is the best coffee you have made so far!"

"what!"She said looking at Maan.

"Haan na,dekho na kitne pyar se banayi hai!Werna toh tumhari naak pai gusa hi chara rehta hai!"He said putting the coffee down as Geet took the pillow and hit him.Soon they were engrossed in a pillow fight,Nakul who was passing by closed their door and left.From inside the sounds of laughter in pure bliss could be heard.
