Nothing is more beautiful than losing yourself in nature to find yourself.....your true self, the innocent self...
The self that you have lost from you within you..
The self that you have hidden from yourself and the world...
The self that you have been ashamed of....
The self that you have been angry at...
The self that you have been scared to love....
The self that you have been not approving...
The self that you have been guilty of....
The self that you have made wallow in self-pity...
The self that has been victimized...
The self that longs and yearns for love, care, belonging, gentleness, humor, approval, respect, worth, happiness, courage, determination..................
Can you and are you willing to find yourself?

Hey Rachana,
I can completely understand where this is coming from.
This whole trip that I had written was to make sure there was something else that was drawing the masks away from them to reveal themselves to each other.
Just like you questioned, there is no way such deep and dark desires like wanting to hold another person, or wanting to kiss (tomm's monologue from Geet) of one person that can be put forth to another without anticipating fear of judgement.
They needed a propel from nature to explain to them that their fears were small compared to what goes on in the universe. The same conversation in a bedroom setting could have gone another way. I had planned for it to go like our 20 question where one is challenging the other as to who loved the other more...but took it this way, to keep it simple and more direct way to com out with their love.
Aren't we all nothing compared to the might force? Nothing would change if I dont write an update or dont eat food, or dont pick up my mom's phone call...Nature will do what its supposed to do, the sun will still rise, there will be a storm somewhere and people will die and people will be born.

Acceptance....ah! what can I say? Its everything to this mortal self. If I can call it one of the Nasha's of this world, I wouldn't be wrong. People do everything to be accepted.
And amidst all this, you need to brush aside such temptations and find your true self...Nature is still the only way to do it according to me.
If you have noticed all the important conversations between Maan and Geet have happened when they are in the presence of Nature.
Be it the view from the gym sit-out, or the view from Maan's living room, patio, or this falls, that is what will drive them to know each other better...that they are small and tiny and their fears and inhibitions are nothing compared to all that lies outside their human selves. If only everyone could follow this as their mantra....life will be so much more peaceful...and bearable.

Now i dont know how this one came out of my Mac.

Every time i started reading this since morning I kept getting pulled into some meeting or the other.Finally got around to reading it once I got back from work...

What can I say- you always leave me speechless...honestly, I was a little disappointed that you decided to send them on a camping trip as against a proper proper honeymoon- not so much for the luxury or the intimacy but the fact that its probably the best time you get to spend with your spouse...just lazy days and nights spent getting to know each other (again)...sharing little tid bits here and there....and when I read about the camping trip I envisioned long treks, back breaking work etc etc..

So while I eat humble pie with my cup of coffee...I can only say Bravo!

Their honeymoon is exactly what anyone would want theirs to be (ok maybe a bit more but then ...😳). I loved the baring of the souls that they id today.I think the biggest milestone in any relationship is when you can talk to each other without the fear of being judged or misunderstood. Mis-understandings may still happen, tempers may still fly and nerves may still fray but you are always comfortable with the fact that the other person will hear you out! I think these two have crossed that milestone today!

I also want to comment on a remark you made previously- about your dialogues not having the poetry like Barry Dhillon's.While your dialogues may lack the poetry, the visuals you weave with words are far more stunning...the way you describe the setting, their thoughts, their emotions- are just beautiful....so please do not underestimate the beauty in the simplicity of your writing!

Hope you have fun on your NY trip and please have a hot chocolate in the French bistro...thats on me!

EDIT: This is probably the longest post I have made on IF.

such a long update

gr8 work👏

Maan:"You will one day create a monster out of me'"

He laughed'

Maan:"Haan'true you never kissed me'but your eyes always kept talking to me and I knew it the day you held onto my fingers when you dropped those printouts in the hallway'"

I was shocked.

Geet:"No way'it was the second day of office Maan'I couldn't have'I mean at that time'I was still"

I didn't know how or what to tell him. It meant I had liked someone else while I was married to another.

He turned to check on me and the water was trickling down through his face.

Maan:"I didn't mean to say something to hurt you'it's just that we were meant to be. It didn't matter who had come and gone in our lives, we were supposed to end up together. I needed you'lo'does that make you happy... here look at me'"

He turned my face to meet his.

Maan:"I have already told you, that yeh shaadi, papers'its all nothing when the couple stop loving each other'at that time you were not making any mistake'what can you do, you were obviously so drawn to me'I was hot'don't deny it"

We laughed. He always managed to make any situation light for me when I was distressed.

Geet:"Hot?...Please don't deny that you were staring at me all the time'main jahan pe bhi javoon, your eyes would follow me'that day when we went to buy Daadiji pearls'you were drooling in the car. You couldn't make left from right"

Maan:"Accha hisab kitab rak rahi hain'ok..lets do it. You were the first one to hold me when you drank and slipped that night we went out for dinner"

Geet:"Meer told me you never went out for dinners with them, until I came along. It doesn't count, you had already fallen for me"

Maan:"Hold on you were behind me to get that shirt when I didn't want it, you had given it away right there"

Geet:"Another one, just because I asked you if you were following me at the coffee shop, you made me run behind you'when do you think ego acts up, only when people you hold close affect you? And that was just the second day"

He was a little mad perhaps, our conversation had moved to a serious tone.

Maan:" Ok do you want the truth? Here it goes. I needed you the first moment I saw you in my cabin. I thought you were the girl Daadima had sent over and wanted to marry you right there'"

He closed his eyes and his hand was rubbing his forhead. What had I done babaji?

Maan:"I was a total pervert to have wanted you even after I knew you were married'Well you know now'"

I got up and turned to remove his hand from his forhead. Now the rain was washing down my face and the water was drippoing onto his face.

Geet:"What does it make me to have wanted, to hold onto your fingers, when you shook my hands for the first time in your cabin?"

He was surprised that I came out with something like that.

Maan:"Geet'don't say'"

I placed my hands on his lips and shut him.

Geet:"I wanted you badly everytime I saw you. I drank that weekend because I was fighting the attraction towards you"

I went back to lie down on the rock.

Maan:"And I waited for you ping me the next day. I knew you would need me."

Geet:"And I did and that's why without my knowledge my heart spoke out the excuse to go shopping"

Maan:"I was crazy for you when you forced me to open up to you'over that hot chocolate theory of yours"

He kissed me on the lips and his hand came and rested around my waist.

Geet:"And I wasn't all that scared to walk on the other side of central park, but I wanted to take the longer route with you"

Maan:"And I wanted to hug you when you had held me from behind. I missed you in office when I didn't see you in office the next day. I was thinking of reasons to come see you that day"

Geet:"I had forgotten about you during those couple of hours of drama on our way to Toronto. But when I saw the window I used to wait for someone to show up to care for me'when I used to be alone at home, that is when it struck me I had you right by my side and why I was searching for someone else all along. At that time I didn't even know if you liked me this way, but I didn't mind for I was content with the care that you had given me that night"

He rested his head by the side and I turned to face him. We kissed once again as we were opening up to each other.

Maan:"When you held my hand at the gym sit-out'I wanted to take you in my arms and comfort you'but we were still bound by our boundaries then"

Geet:"I would have hugged you in Vegas that night, but I controlled and instead just'"

He understood.

Maan:"I wanted to kiss your ears when you wore those water lilly earings"

Geet:"I stole the picture in which we were together"

Maan:"I didn't have a way to get you a phone and so I made up that fake emergency to get you the phone from office"

I took my hand and cupped his hand as we lay there on the rock in the rain.

Geet:"I felt that you have given me everything there was when you have me the keys to the apartment. That scared me and I walked away'but you didn't leave it there, you convinced me to take the one thing I yearned for the most and when I got it from you'"

Maan:"I made you feed me'I felt cheap when I forced you to do it'and when you lay down next to me in Bed, bath and beyond'I was done fighting. I had succumbed to the attraction. I ran away to the Canyons. I sat there and it came to me that I loved you no matter what'it didn't matter if you would love me back or not."

I kissed him on his forehead.

Geet:"I wanted to wear the rock quartz around my neck as a pendant, but hesitated and made it as a charm for a bracelet'I wanted that piece of you'that was mine, no matter what was to happen in the future"

He smiled.

Maan:"You had no idea how much I resisted staying away from you ever since I knew I loved you'At my birthday'at the breakfast place, but you would always wound up right next to me. When I had made you stay at the penthouse to resolve our issues, I had to force myself to get up and walk away from you. I watched you sleep atleast for 2 hours"

Geet:"I came out of the room to watch you sleep too'early that morning'"

Maan:"When you took care of me when I had Mono'you seemed like my'"

He smiled. I knew what he meant.

Maan:"but I knew you were still out of my reach"

Geet:"You were everything to me, how could have I left you to suffer alone Maan? I stayed back on my own will and prayed you wouldn't send me back to the apartment"

Maan:"At the dance class when you danced for the first time, you had said it all in your eyes"

Geet:"I was dying there because the instructor asked me to picture the scene where I had found out just that moment that I was in love with a guy and that I was never going to meet him after that instant'obviosuly, you were the one who played in my mind"

Maan:"I wanted to tease you that night. I purposefully went down on my knees"

We laughed.

Geet:"I walked out by of the exhibit because, I couldn't control my feelings for you. I wanted to come out with it right there"

Maan:"And my life was being sucked out of me slowly'for every moment you were away from me"

Geet:"I thought I had lost everything after that, but you breathed life into me again"

Maan:"You were my Christmas keepsake that year, when you came back to me. I knew you were mine, when you had not shown the papers to anyone but me"

Geet:"It was my best New year ever when you told me you loved me'"

He came on top of me and kissed me. His love was wrapping me up for the rain had washed away all the layers that were there between us until then. He moved to his side and I cuddled into him and rested my hand on his bare chest. His hand slid underneath me and held me by my waist.

Maan:"I came to India because I didn't have the heart to see you leave"

Geet:"I could have managed Darji's situation from there, but I needed that excuse to see you"

We looked at each other and he kissed my forehead.

Maan:"I didn't know what I would have done to Brij, for hurting you..perhaps have him thrown in jail and have no records that he was ever arrested'then no one can get him out"

I smiled at his brain's capacity to hatch such evil plans.

Maan:"But you changed things when you declared your feelings for me. I wanted to find out how it felt like and so I jumped into the pool just like you did"

Geet:"Oh! That explains what you were doing in the pool. I wanted to kiss you back when you kissed me on my birthday."

I was shy for I turned and buried my head into his shoulder.

He moved his hand up my back, underneath my shirt and pulled my neck to face me. We turned together to lie on our sides.

Maan:"I wanted to propse with the ring in that shop'Had you accepeted me then, perhaps we could have face the media. The frustration I couldn't propose to you added to that tension. I wanted to take you away from the whole world when that fiasco happened."

Geet:"I'm sorry it came across that I held you responsible'but I still feel we coud have done it differently. You didn't let me speak and assumed I blamed you. After we left hosiarpur, you were the only family I could rely on'but"

Maan:"I know I left, because I couldn't stand there to see you like that and still not let me come close to you. You stubbornness drove me crazy"

Geet:"I would have stared at that messenger for hours to trick me into sending me a message from you. I was crazy for you too."

Maan:"I would have married eitherways just to make sure I own you one way or the other. There that's the evil side of me talking"

Geet:"It was the most beautiful wedding ever'after that I think you know pretty much'oh! but I wanted to know something.."

I wanted to ask him about his choice of stay and mode of travel to Sohra and also about the contrast in gifts he had gotten me.

Geet:"I didn't understand the cotton saree and that expensive gift side by side, The Bellagio stay and this one in bijoy's place. We went to Bloomingdale's in your Ashton Martin and we travelled here in a broken down bus'you are just hard to predict'what is this about? This contrast you show'"

He smiled at my question.

Maan:"It wouldn't be nice to come down here in an expensive car and ask you to enjoy this place. Your focus will not be in the beauty, but on the bugs, the slush and mud and the screeching insects. The gift'I just picked up what I liked and felt I should give you'that would look good on you too. If I feel this mud would look good on you'."

He picked up some and smeared it on my neck and chest.

Maan:"I would have given it'It's another way of saying, I'm pretty much stubborn'I need what I need'"

-------this part is really wonderful both thier arguments nd confession abt thier feelings for each other

waiting for the next part
