On daadi's insistence Maan and Geet went in same car..It was evening..Sun was fading , the atmosphere was getting chilly besides it started raining heavily..Suddenly the car stopped with a creak amidst of a deserted place.. Maan got out of the car to check the problem and found it was out of order..Geet accompanied him
Geet "What happened?"
Maan"We are stuck here..car is out of order,mobile is not catching signal besides its dark and there is no sign of human in this place"
Geet hold maan's arm"Now what we will do?"
Maan could hear the fast heartbeat of Geet..He comforted her by covering her hand with his
Maan"Lets search for some place otherwise we will get pneumonia by getting wet"
Geet laughed
Maan"What was so funny?"
Geet"I love to get wet and enjoy rain but today this place is freaking me out and I am laughing instead of shivering"
Maan"Lets move Geet otherwise your monster will get hold of us from back"..They walked Geet still holding his arm
Geet"You are getting filmy ..you are talking as if we will get a house in this dseserted place..omg what is this?"
A house was infront of them which was looking like a mansion..
Geet"Maan what a beautiful house..lets get in please Maan"
Maan"But how can we enter someone's house without permission"
Geet"Koi hai..koi hai..lo no one is here but if you want " she turned to a tree"Can we enter ..(a leave fell)..see we got permission lets get in"
They entered the house..The house was in a good condition...The hall was decorated in an old fashioned style but it was giving a royal touch...
Geet"beautiful na"
Maan"Ye mere papa ka ghar nahi hai that I will ..arrgh..Geet ye kisi ka ghar hai"
Geet"But no one is here Maan..lets see if we get some dresses..I am feeling cold"
Maan"It will be stealing Geet"
Geet"But maan the host would have offered us some dresses na..lets go"
Maan"I should get ready to contact my lawyer cause we will surely land to jail for trespassing"
Maan turned Geet was not there..Maan called out her name loudly but he could only hear the reciprocation of his own voice..This alarmed Maan..He ran in search of Geet.. He was passing the corridor when a sweet voice called his name..He turned that side..Geet was standing there wearing a dress ..It was giving her a royal look ..It was hard for Maan to take his eyes off from her..She reached near Maan
Geet"Maan how am I looking"
Maan was dumbstruck by her charm"Out of this world"
A voice came from back"Really you are right sir"
Maan turned to see who was that..A man in his middle twenties was standing there ..
Maan"Who are you?"
Man"As this is my house so this should be my question and this beautiful lady is wearing my wife's dress"
Maan"Oh I am extremely sorry..actually I am Maan Singh Khurana and she is Geet ..our car has brokendown and we found this house..our intention was not wrong and I am once again sorry from her side for taking your wife's attire without your permission"

Geet "Ok then we should leave..I should change this"
Yash snapped"no its ok..your clothes must have been wet..I will suggest you both stay here tonight..and this dress looks beautiful on you.."
Maan"No you will get disturbed"
Yash"No ways we are fine aur aaj me aapke kaam aa raha hoon kya pata kal aap mere kaam aayenge..now I wont hear anything come I will give you some dry clothes "
Maan"The house was open and empty..anyone can clean his hand here"
Yash"It s not that easy I have my own securities..and who will come here..it was in our luck to meet that's why you came here..actually I was in basement area..I heard sounds so i thought to check..She is your wife"
Maan"umm..yeah"
maan in his mind

Maan went to change as directed by Yash...
Yash"lets have some dinner..you wait I will prepare food"
Geet"No I will do that ..just show me the way to Kitchen"
Yash "But you are my guest and how can I let you do work"
Geet smiled"Dont be so formal..You helped us thats too

Yash"let me show you the way"
Geet" Yash this dress looks like a wedding dress but in that robe only this type of dresses were there"
Yash"My wife loves to collect wedding dresses...She has different kind of wedding dresses...and her collection lies here"
Geet"what she 'do with these dresses?"
Yash "On our every anniversary we get married to each other so every year a new gown or more than that if she gets confuse"
Geet"Where is she?"
Yash"Paris...she has some work there..so I came here to remember her as every corner of this house has special value in our heart"
Geet "Impressive "
Maan"What talks are going on..."
Geet"nothing much...dinner is ready"
They settled on dining table...and talked about each other and as Geet went to kitchen after collecting dishes to wash them Yash commented"The working bride"...They laughed then Yash called maan and they took drinks. after some pegs Yash started his poems..Geet came and sit as she had no choice
Yash
My love for you
can never fade
because in this heart
Only you belong
Maan continued fixing his eyes on Geet..
Though my heart is yours
You cannot listen to its heartbeats
It does not beat anymore
Just takes your name in the hope
That you will listen your name
And will come to me
undertanding not only my heart but
I belong to you and only you
Yash"I guess I have tortured both of you enough now I should give both the lovebirds enough time..goodnight Guys"
He went to his room
After half an hour Maan was fully drunk..He and Geet were sitting on a bench outside..
Maan"Geet I thought you don't wear these kind of dresses"
Geet"Maan time changes many thing and I don't think the dress is too odd"
Maan sarcastically"Yeah I can see that"
Geet "Maan I always dreamt to dance in moonlight in a royal way"
Maan"So you are in a royal attire and servant is there to accompany you"
Geet laughed maan bowed and knelt down asking Geet's approval ..she slipped her hand in his...
Maan played the song So Close In his mobile..
He slid his one hand on her slender waist pulling her closer gently and from another hand still taking her hand in his
You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
