Maan looked at her in awe. They had bottled their feelings for so long and suddenly this ability to express their love was a great feeling.
Maan made her sit on the couch and laid down on the sofa with his head on her lap. She brushed his hair with her fingers while he rubbed his nose on her tummy.
Geet blushed at his gesture. "Pata hai humne bhi aapke liye surprise party rakhi thi…Ram tekri to just bahana tha….ab woh sab bhi phir se plan karna padega"
Maan was genuinely surprised – "Sach…mujhe pata hona chaiye tha"
Geet asked coyly– "Waise maine aapko propose karke aapka romantic surprise kharab kar diya na…"
Maan – "Jaan woh sab phir kabhi ho jayega aur waise bhi love is in the air when you are around me. What can be more romantic then my darling encircled in my arms"
Saying this he encircled her in his arms looking at her lovingly.
Their trance was broken when Geet's phone rang. She got up from the couch to pick her phone. Maan held her wrist and shook his head. He still held her wrist and pulled her on his lap.
Geet felt very shy and kept her head on his chest while Maan held her tight from her waist.
Geet nuzzled closer to him and said nervously "Maan ek baat puchoon"
Maan "hmmm"
Geet – "Mujhe bahut dar lag raha tha aapse yeh sab kehne mein. Par us din aapka who chehra dekh kar mujh mein himmat aa gayi…I can't loose you…I had to say it all to you"
Geet's voice cracked.
Maan comforted her rubbing her back "shhh…I am absolutely fine Mishti…don't worry"
Geet lifter her head to look into his eyes – "Mishti?"
Maan – "Tum meri sweetheart ho…meri Mishti"
Geet blushed harder if it was possible hearing those words of endearment – "Aapko dar nahin lag raha tha us din jab aap mujhko propose karne wale the?"
Maan looked into her sparkling eyes – "lag raha tha…I was really nervous. But at the same time I had trust in my love…in my feelings. I knew you didn't hate me and were affected by me. I couldn't let you go and the hope of having you in my life forever gave me strength. Worst case scenario you would have said that you don't feel the same. I planned to convince you to think about it and give our relationship a chance. I was ready to woo my love. That's the least I can do for happiness of my lifetime and beyond"
Geet just looked at the amazing man who held her with so much conviction. She caressed his face with her hand and he kissed her palm when it touched his lips.
She asked controlling the heat which Maan was generating in her – "Aapko kab pata chala ki aap mujhse…"
Maan thought for a while and then said– "Hmmm…well pyar to usi din ho gaya tha jab tumhe dad ke office mein dekha tha haan vishwas jab hua jab yahan se jaane ke baad tumhein maine bahut miss kiya"
Geet scrunched up her nose - "Aapko itni pehle se pata tha…mujhe laga ki you will never feel for me that way…I always suppressed my feelings but just could not do it anymore"
Maan jus laughed at her expression and gave a peck on her nose – "yes…I was sure Mishti and I can't wait to tell everybody at home…can't wait to make you all mine"
Geet cocooned her head under his chin brushing his neck with her lips – "Nahin Nahin abhi nahin?
Maan was perplexed – "Kyun?...tum ab bhi sure nahin ho kya?"
Geet whacked him lightly on his arm "Dhat…nahin baba…who kya hai na tumne to saare maze kar liye but I never had a boyfriend. So I want to enjoy the feel of having a boyfriend"
Maan pulled her closed as if that was possible "Ok madam as you wish…lekin main zayda intezaar nahin kar sakta…samjhi tum…only couple of months"
Geet –"hmmm"
Maan -"Waise Geet tumhe sach mein mere past se koi…."
Geet lifted her head and looked into his eyes. She out her hand on his mouth – "chup bilkul chup…khabardar jo aaj ke baad aapne aisi baat kahi to…maine kaha tha na us din…I trust you completely…I really do…if you again say anything bad then you will be hurting my trust and love…samjhe aap"
They were still lost in each other when the front door opened and Pinky and Adi came inside in a hurry. Geet was embarrassed like hell to be caught sitting in Maan's lap like that. Maan and Geet quickly got up straightening themselves.
Maan – "Bell nahin ring kar sakte the tum log"
Pinky – "Oh hello…mujhe aadat nahin hai apne ghar ki bell baja kar andar aane ki". She huffed close to Geet – "Aur tu madam, phone kyon nahin utha rahi hai…pata hai main kitna ghabra gay thi ki pata nahin kya hua yahan pe"
Geet tried to console Pinky – "Sorry woh …woh…"
Pinky held her hand out – "Rehne de…sab dekhe maine…by the way congrats" she said cheekily.
With that she hugged Geet tight. Adi also came close grinning and four of them got into a group hug.
Pinky shouted "Yeh!!! ab to pakki party banti hai" She raised her collar –"aakhir we helped you in this confession"
Maan laughed aloud but then stopped abruptly. Geet looked at him "Kya hua?"
Maan – "Ek minute…when did you tell them about you liking me…aaj"
Pinky and Adi both got flustered with Maan's question.
Before they could think of anything Geet said shyly "I had called Pinky during their honeymoon…main kya karoon I was getting so restless"
Maan moved in front of Adi menacingly – "Saale, tujhe pata tha. You knew it all and still you took me for a ride for last three weeks"
Now Geet was shocked 'Kya"
Maan - "yes, he always knew how I felt about it… phir bhi"
Adi interrupted before things could go worse – "Chod na yaar…waise Juhi aunty called me. She sounded worried as she couldn't reach you on phone. I also tried your mobile before Pinky called Geet and it was coming switched off"
Maan quickly checked his phone which had switched off due to battery discharge.
He called Juhi from Adi's phone – "Hi Mom, kya hua?"
Juhi – "Yeh kya hai Maan…aaj tum pehli baar office gaye ho after your…mera matlab tumhara phone bhi nahin lag raha tension ho rahi thi mujhe…kahan ho tum?"
Maan could understand his mom's state of mind. "I am ok mom…aap aiwain tension le rahe ho…I will be home soon"
Maan cut the call.
Geet grabbed Maan's arm – "Beeji chinta kar rahi hain na…chalo ghar chalte hain"
Maan nodded and left in his car whereas Pinky dropped Geet after few minutes.
