24. Unexpected

When Maan's called the next night, after talking to Daadi he asked for Geet.

" How are you Geet?" his voice was like summer rain...

"I'm okay" she struggled to keep control of the happiness that filled her.

"And my daughter?" son she corrected in her mind.

"Shonu is good."

"Shonu?"

"I call him Shonu."

"Him? Really? We will discuss that when I'm back there." His amusement made her heart soar. "Are you following all the instructions I gave you?"

"Yes Maan."

"All the instructions?" he repeated

"Yes Maan."

"Okay let me see if you even remember. Have you fixed the meeting with Mr.Om?"

"Yes Maan, for next Tuesday."

"Have you sent the fax to Mr. Bakshi?"

"Yes Maan sir, it's done." He was turning out to be like a school master and she a pupil!

"Call me Maan as we are not in the office," he reminded. "Is the presentation for the Gurgaon project ready?"

"Yes Maan,it's with Sasha Ma'am" she rolled her eyes.

"Have you added the budget estimation from Adi in Mr.Mehta's project?"

"Yes Maan, its ready."

"Are you missing me?"

"Yes Maan, very much."

"Thank you." He chuckled and she realized what she had blurted out.

"But ...I mean..." she blushed as she stammered.

"You have accepted and I won't let you go back on your word. His laughter rang out from the phone.

"Oh!" there was something arresting about her surprise that alerted him.

"What is it Geet?"

"I think I just felt the baby move." She pressed a hand to her lower stomach.

"Really? How...? How does it feel?"

"It's like something brushing against you, only from the inside. Like butterfly fluttering it's wing inside my stomach. The doctor had told me to check for the movement, but I hadn't felt it until now." Shonu must love his papa's laughter, Geet added to herself.

He finished the call with a smile on his face. He could imagine her flushed cheeks as she unknowingly confessed that she missed him very much. He chuckled again. He just couldn't wait to see Geet again and their baby was growing fast! He was sure she would be as sweet as Geet. This time away from her made him realize how strong his feelings for her were. If this was not love then he was sure he was half way there. Why else would flashes of her enter his mind when least expected, like during the meeting with clients, and linger thru' out the day? Why else would he wish her near when he saw something interesting and imagine her reaction to it? Why else would the sight of a family in the park fill him with anticipation? Why else were chocolates there in his cabin bag, when he was never in the habit of buying chocolates when he was abroad!

He could almost see how she would react to the chocolates...the pleasure that would brighten her eyes, the blush that would make her cheeks rosy, and the shy smile that would stretch across her lips.

How would she react if he proposed marriage, once he went back? Would she accept? If she did would it be only for the baby's sake? Strangely he didn't like the prospect. He wanted her to choose him because she loved him, not because it would mean she could be with her baby. May be he was expecting too much, but he wanted to her choice of life partner, not a compromise. She was not immune to him, of that he was sure. He was confident he could make her fall in love with him given time. After all he was Maan Singh Khurana. He had always emerged victorious from a challenge. It may take a few months because of Geet's wariness of opposite sex. But she trusted him and was starting to heal if the ready acceptance of Rudr was any indication. Though he did not like the easy friendship between Rudr and Geet, it did have it's positives. Now it was up to him to reap the benefit of Geet's withdrawn barriers. No Rudr was going to steal his Geet away from him. He smiled confidently.

Friday was tolerable to Geet because there was only another day to go before Maan's return. After Maan's call she was able to sleep better and the baby's movements made her happy. Shonu was most energetic after meals. Friday night's choice of movie was 'Veer Zaara'. At night in her dream, Maan became Veer to her Zarah singing:

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, here!

Kaisi, sarhadein, kaisi majbooriyaan

What borders are there now? What obstacles?

Main yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, here.

Tum chhupa na sakogi main woh raaz hoon

Main tumhaare hi dil ki toh awaaz hoon

I'm your heart's very voice.

Sun sako, toh suno, dhadkanon ki zabaan

If you can hear it, then listen to the language of your heartbeat.

Main yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, here.

Main yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, here.

Main hi main ab tumhaare khayaalon mein hoon

Now I and only I occupy your thoughts;

Main jawaabon mein hoon, main sawaalon mein hoon

I'm in the answers you receive and the questions you ask.

Main tumhaare har ek khwaab mein hoon basa

I'm at the center of every one of your dreams;

Main tumhaari nazar ke ujaalon mein hoon

I'm the light that shines from your eyes.

Dekhti, ho mujhe, dekhti ho jahaan

Wherever you look, you see me;

Main yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan hoon, yahaan

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, here.

Jaanam, dekh lo, mit gayi dooriyaan

Saturday had new surprises in store for Geet. Rudr had invited her and Daadi to watch the photo shoot of Sameera's new launch of clothes and accessories. Geet was happy about it because it meant she will have something to distract her and then there would be only a night it endure before she could see Maan again. It was fun watching Rudr in action, teasing and charming all the models and the other staff present, relaxing them and making them comfortable with him. It was a novel experience for Geet, her brush with the glamorous world. The amount of preparation that went behind the glamorous photos amazed her. She felt a great amount of respect for the models who faced all the lights and flashes...and still smiled and posed comfortably. The dresses were as beautiful as the models. Daadi was so impressed by it that she bought one for Geet. Geet tried it make Daadi see reason that it wouldn't suit her in a month's time. But Daadi was adamant.

When they reached home there was an unexpected visitor came before they entered home. The guard called out to Daadi and Daadi moved towards the guard. Geet started to go inside but stopped and turned when Daadi called her. Then she saw the man walking with Daadi towards her. Panic made her immobile, color draining from her face.

"Geet, beti..." He cried as he came towards her.

"You!" Geet croaked. "How...?"

"After coming to the city you have forgotten all about us! Do you know how I worried about you and bhabhi." His voice was so full of love, concern for her poured out. But the eyes that held hers told a different story, filled with hate and anger. As he reached her Geet ran towards Daadi and hid behind her. Daadi became confused, the man had introduced himself as Brij Handa, Geet's chacha who was searching for her. She thought Geet would be happy to see her uncle but from the tremor in the hand that held her arm it was evident Geet was frightened of this man.

"This man told me he is your uncle. Is it true Geet?"

Geet shook her head in negative.

"She is lying because she is angry with me. You see I tried to marry her off when she wanted to study." The eyes that turned towards her held a warning in them. Then it turned persuasive again as he looked at Daadi. "She took off with her mother, when I had gone away for a while. But as soon as I came back I searched for them. See I carry their photo with me always." He showed the photo of him with Geet, Rano and another woman. "I prayed that they were alive and well, day and night as I couldn't be with them. I was so sad to learn about bhabhi. Then I thought my poor Geet would be all alone. Thank you Babaji for keeping her safe!" he looked up in thanks. When he turned his eyes towards Dadi it again reflected his concern and thankfulness. "I am really grateful to you Maaji for taking care of my dearest niece, but now that I have found her I will take her home with me." When he looked at a still trembling Geet with a mean look in them.

"No ..." Geet shook her head in denial. Her breathing became accelerated in panic. "I won't...you can't...make me." Fear made her grip Daadi's arm harder as she pleaded, " please Daadi...don't... don't ...sent me..." her breath was coming in gasps as if she found it difficult to breath. Daadi became alarmed seeing Geet's condition.

She patted Geet's hand with was holding hers in a death grip. "Geet...beti, calm down. You are not going anywhere. I wont let anyone take you away."

Daadi's assurance angered Brij. He signaled with his hands and Daadi saw two men coming towards the gate. But the guard had closed the gate.

"Who are you to decide that Geet is not going with me? She is my flesh and blood, my niece. She belongs to me."

Geet put her hands on her ears to shut out his words and moaned like a wounded animal. Brij moved forward to grab Geet's arm. She struck it away and moved back her eyes filled with terror.

" No..." she screamed, "...don't...don't..."

The servants of KM hearing the scream came out. Brij reached for Geet again, but Daadi intervened, "Keep your hands off by Bahu"

"Bahu? But..?" he was perplexed, then with a sneer said " I don't believe you,"

"It doesn't matter what you believe. She is my grandson, Maan's wife. You are scaring my child and I want you out of my property. Security..." The men at the gate started banging on the gate.

"You can't keep my niece away from me. I have the right..." he moved towards them threateningly.

"Nakul call the police ...better, I will call the commissioner" Daadi took her phone about to dial. Scared now, Brij turned to leave. "This is not over, old woman!' he called out at the gate.

"Geet madam!" Nakul's exclamation made Daadi turn back to see Geet falling down in a dead faint.
