Maneet FF- A Lifetime of Gratitude- 3 updt-pg 37 - Page 5

Geet woke up warm and fuzzy to see Maan trying his hand at knitting

Geet smiled as a warm rush of emotions flowed to her..

Geet- well well well..look what we have here?

MAan jumped as if caught

MAan- uhh..I have no idea what you're talking about Geet. You wake up and come up with absurd remarks that make no sense

Geet- right. Of course I do. Anyway Maan daadima,..can you put some designs in that knitting while you're at it?

MAan got up and pinned Geet to the bed.

Maan- Geet this does not go out. do you hear me?

I was merely seeing what you were making.

Geet- of course...go out? why I would never dream of it, Maan

MAan growled and stalked away

Geet laughed aloud to herself..life was good; maan was back; she was getting their dream house constructed; and she'd have a family..with little kids trotting around and troubling her..what more could she want in life?

Rajji on the other hand didn't know what she wanted

She was sitting on the swing and deep in thought so she didn't hear Vicky come in

Vicky – she looks so quiet and troubled at the same time. I wish we could talk with the easy camaraderie we once shared…how can I make her feel better?

Well Vicky, I think you should brace yourself, and do your utmost to be normal and take her for a drive. That's the best way

His head was throbbing since last night – a terrible fight and a night gone in thinking would make anyone's head throb.

But he resolutely went upto Rajji and whispered in her ear softly

Vicky- tut tut..it's time for a drive for the hairans and pareshans of the world.

And before she knew what was happening he pulled her to her feet and took her to the car.

Before she could form a coherent sentence, she was buckled in and Vicky had started driving

Maan went to office without saying bye to Geet..

She was ina very teasing mood and touched a sensitive ego nerve of Maan Singh Khurana..and knowing Geet..he only hoped she wouldn't say anything to anyone.

Thank God he was busy with work and got to it as soon as he reached office..resolutely ignoring Geet's missed call displayed on his phone screen

Geet decided to finally shift everything to Maan's room in the mansion. It was high time now..and so she spent all morning doing just that..

IT was afternoon..Vicky had called Geet to say Rajji and he were out together. Dadi had just left for a kitty party and so..Geet was home alone.

She decided to continue with her knitting but before tried Maan's cell.

He was not picking up.

The door bell rang and humming, Geet went to open it.

Geet- aaap??

Eyes filled with tears with memories crowding her heart, Geet thought of the face who had given her so much pain and disillusioned her of many of her thoughts about family.

Rajji was silent while Vicky kept up a chatter ..filling her in on whatever happened..his various arguments with Misha, the latest movies he had watched and his problems with them..the music concert he wanted to go to but couldn't because tickets were sold out..

Rajji- VICKY!!!

Vicky stopped, the car too.

Vicky- What?

Rajji- If you keep quiet for a second, may I please THINK?

Vicky- oops..sorry..

HE smiled and Rajji smiled back

Vicky- see, it wasn't so difficult was it?

Rajji- why did you do all this?

Vicky- Because Rajji, I care about you and I didn't want to see you sad.

As simple as he could get, and as despo…why did he have to say such cheesy lines anyway?

Next thing, he might start talking about the stars of her eyes and the moon being less beautiful

Vicky(to himself)- stop stop stop thinking please!

So they had lunch and Rajji felt at ease..it seemed nothing had changed but she realized something had when she saw his eyes become a bit golden from the sun as he squinted in it to look at her

Vicky realized things have changed too when he felt butterflies as he saw her smile upto him and how her hair blew in the gentle breeze

But this reverie was interrupted by Vicky's phone

Vicky- jee bhabhi?

Geet – Come home. Now. V urgent

And she put down the phone.

HE told Rajji and she immediately got up and left.

That's it guys!its short cuz I couldn't give everything away at once..

Precap- hmm..so who is it? And what does he/she want?
