PART 107

M-So we agree?

She nods

Maan nods too

M- Any more left to try?

G-Nope

They buy the stuff and leave the boutique

G-Let's go to a place and you won't say no

M-ok but what is this place?

She drags him to a shop

G-Men's ring please

M- And a woman's ring too

G-No, I have it

She shows him the one he gave

M-You don't have a wedding ring. That's why women eye you

She narrows her eyes

M-You don't have an engagement ring

G-It's the same. I am wearing one

M-I'll take the wedding ring u take the engagement ring

G-Maan

M-Geet

G-We are Indians we just have one ring and I have that one ring

M-I want you to have more. What's wrong with wearing more than one?

G-I don't wear rings

M-Why not? What's wrong with ring

G-Because I would look like a jeweler

M-Fine if then, earring

G-Maan, shut up and listen to me

M-Excuse me show us some earrings [He says to the salesman]

G-Maan, shut up naaa

M-You have to buy something for yourself in this shop or I won't wear the ring

G- Whyyy?????. I have got a set. I'll ask it from u if I would want anything from you

M-And you should have more

G-You are such a spend thrift, a gold digger wife would have been appropriate for you

M-I just want you to have more. Have more than enough of everything

She walks out

Maan is inside the shop maintaining his own pose

She comes after a while and drags him

G-Are you waiting for your girlfriend?

M- I don't have girlfriend [He says a little perplexed by the question]

G- Then are you trying to make one? Good, then come with your wife. Come with me

M-I am not trying to make one. I hate women in general, why would I want one. I have you . That's enough

G-Yea, I am a man [She comments sarcastically]. Maan, I won't take you ever for shopping. Never ever. You don't let me buy anything for you. You hate my choice so much?

M-You got me the pen and refused to select a watch for me and I don't hate your choice. I just don't like handing over control to anyone else

G-And I asked you to choose a ring. Leave it. Now concentrate on what we should buy for mamaji

M-He's a drunk fool who should be left alone but if you want to buy something badly, a malt whiskey bottle would make him very happy

G-Don't disrespect your elders

M-Huh...

Maan gives an ironic bark of a laugh

She looks at him

G- Then let's buy it. Shall we?

Maan nods and they walk towards the liquor shop

She is behind him. She had never stepped into a liquor shop

Maan walks inside totally at ease...more at ease then he had been for the whole day

It's like a super market...you pick your choice

He walks down the aisle ..racks of liquor on his each side

She is just looking around at the colorful bottles

It takes him about 5 minutes to find the bottle he wants

He takes it to the billing counter

M- Geet, let's go we are done here

G-ok. You didn't get anything for yourself...strange. I think my husband is turning into a good boy [she says with a chuckle]

Maan nods on all three accounts...he didn't by for self and yes he is surprised coz he never thought of it and maybe he is becoming more normal and a better person

She smiles happily

G-I want a lemonade

She points to the shop

They go to the lemonade shop and on the tables that were laid

She was sipping on

Maan feels ticklish near his feet, a baby had crawled towards his feet

i loved the last part.. waiting for Maan's reaction..

PART 108

G-I want a lemonade

She points to the shop

They go to the lemonade shop and on the tables that were laid

She was sipping on

Maan feels ticklish near his feet, a baby had crawled towards his feet

M-uh...

Maan moves his legs away from the kid

M-Geet...there's kid under the table.

G-awww how cute

She takes the baby in her arms

G-awww look at it

M- I am looking at it

G-chooo cute

Maan isn't finding any cuteness..it's a kid like all other kids, small and loud and something you can't reason with

The baby was smiling and pointing at him

G-awww he likes you

M-What me??? Why?

G-Why not? That's why it crawled to you

M-uh huh...or maybe it's got no sense of direction or about people

She is coochy cooing the baby. She seems so happy with the little thing

G-What?

M-Nothing... where is its mother at? Letting a kid alone like this, what if someone steps on it?

G-Stop it, Maan

A lady comes

Lady-I am so sorry, she must have crawled to you while she was playing

G-awww she is a girl? She is very cute...she is an angel

Lady-That's her name

G-oh !!!!!! You have named her rightly. She is indeed an angel

Lady-I am sorry if she disturbed you

Maan chup chap baith ke dekh raha hai

G-oh no, offcourse not, she didn't

The lady goes while Geet keeps on looking at the baby and keeps on waving while baby keeps cooing in its baby language

All the fuss coz of kid, Maan thinks

M-What's so great about that baby?

G-She was so cute...so pure

M-Others aren't?

G-No, I am talking about every baby. You know a baby's love is so pure...not at all selfish. Being a mother is such a good fortune [she days in a dreamy manner]

M-I think that's coz they don't have the sense to recognize people as yet

G-No, they do have. They do recognize strangers and family

M-If you say so...

He says in a don't care manner

G-You know when I was small my mom used to say that she is fortunate to have me and that she has a living doll in my form

M-Doll?

G-She said she had tears of happiness when I was born

More like tears of pain of child birth, he thinks..

G-My elder brother loves his son a lot their bonding is so great, he is saying always papa papa papa

M-He isn't irritated?

He asks disbelievingly

G-No, he would play with him, tell him stories. You know what he used to say; he said I thought having a child is such a pain, noisy creatures and all but when aft a day's work when I come home and my kid holds my finger and hugs me It's the world's greatest joy

Maan still looks unconvinced

G-He said he feels as if every fatigue and tiredness just vanished

Maan thinks the man is putting up an act coz it would look bad to not like your own kid. He can't imagine a guy liking a snotty sniveling thing that much...it has to be a farce. He has never seen a baby being loved with all true care either by a mother by father. He has seen lust even love at times so he knows it exist. He was too small to remember what his mother felt when he was baby in arms. He can safely believe that no one like unmanageable little monster, its only when they grow up get a brain and become useful that they are liked

Geet is in her dream land

M- You wanna go back now?

She looks at him

G-Go back? You know, I am so fed up...it's so monotonous. You don't feel like breaking it? Routine and all?

M-It may be monotonous routine to you.. its dependable soothing cycle for me

G-What? Whatever...let's have fun today. Let's party

M-ok what you wanna do now?

G-Party...go to a disc or nightclub..lounge...emm...you don't wanna?

M-No, let's go. I heard there was this club which is pretty good we can go there

G-Cool

M-ok let's go then

Maan hails a taxi and they go to this place.. it is a closed club inside a building...all dim lit...laden with youngsters with skimpily dressed crowd and women pole dancing

PART 109

M-It may be monotonous routine to you.. its dependable soothing cycle for me

G-What? Whatever...let's have fun today. Let's party

M-ok what you wanna do now?

G-Party...go to a disc or nightclub..lounge...emm...you don't wanna?

M-No, let's go. I heard there was this club which is pretty good we can go there

G-Cool

M-ok let's go then

Maan hails a taxi and they go to this place.. it is a closed club inside a building...all dim lit...laden with youngsters with skimpily dressed crowd and women pole dancing

They go there and there is loud music and crowdy dance floor and dim lights

Maan offers his hand for Geet to hold on to

She does

G-Let's dance

He gets pulled along with Geet

They dance and surprisingly Maan can hold his own, although he isn't very good but he is doing an ok job of dancing

Geet dancing like all the young college youngsters

People gives the couple some space who were busy smooching each other intimately

Geet moves away a bit but he doesn't care about the smooching couple

Maan is facing the place where all pole dancing and all happening Geet is on other side

Maan also moves so that he can still dance with her

Geet to full o latka mode...item song babe she is...her belle moves like that of belle dancer chest out and swift moves and her step that of shakira

She is enjoying dancing and Maan is enjoying dancing as much as he is enjoying watching her move.

It's a club like people make out on the sofa, gir gaye sofe pe, and all open as its not India, pole dancing, lap dancing

When the song ends s bends close to he and tells her that she is a terrific dancer

She smiles

G-Thanks but you are great

M-Me? I can hold my own..You...you are sensational..

She looks down to hide her blush

M-Did you take classes or something?

G-No never

M-Wow...you want something to drink?

G-Water

M-You coming or staying?

She looks around

G-I'll come

Maan nods and holds her hand

They go to the bar area

Maan orders water for her and some simple mild dink for himself

Geet locates a table and sits

A man approaches her

Man-Hey! you are with him? [points at Maan]

G-Yes

Maan gets back the very minute she utters 'yes'

He hands Geet her water and gives the man a simple territorial glance saying back off its mine

The man smiles

Man-Maan, You forgot? Sam/Sameer, yaar teddy

Maan remembers that they were gigolo days friends and they were also in correctional center

Maan smiles and give the guy a hug

M-Hey!!

Sam-I own this place

M-Wow! Good for you

Sam-Your girlfriend? [asks looking at Geet]

M-My wife

He says proudly

Sam-ohhh

He is pleasantly surprised

M-Geet, this is Sameer

Sam-ohhh hello

G-Hi

M-Call him Sam if you want to. He's been with me since a long time

Sam-yeah pretty long

Sam whispers in his ear and they both look a bit sad for jus a second

Sam-Pretty wife

Maan nods

M-I know

Sam-Where have you been dude?

M-I could ask you the same thing. I was in India. I have liquor business

Sam-Coolll!!

M-And you own a club!!

i could imagine Maan's reactions to the baby.. LOL..
