She picked her food bit by bit, gazing at maan now and then. One by one everyone left while servant came by taking plates. maan stood up and left while geet sat there silent. Surly she can't flow, leaving others on the table, now she have come might as well stay a while!!!
Pari came by looking at geet with surprise. Not that she had any doubt but she was beyond beautiful.
"you are so beautiful!" geet turns her head around then looks at either direction, made sure she was talking to her. Anny came by and introduced her self. And geet excused out...
Maan spines around with the door click. He was more then happy that she didn't leave the dinner table straight way, sat there, tried her best to get along. He didn't say much as he walked in to his room, locking the door.
Geet stood there in surprise, he just walked off! Not even a single word to her! "
stupid!" she quickly ran in to the bathroom for a quick shower... Her mind went back to the collage, not letting anyone know about her husband being blind. Once she steeped out of the shower NT called. She was rather surprised since the day back she have spoken to no one!
"
bebo..." geet nearly doped the phone as her sister starts to apologizes...
"
I am so so sorry. I should have known, I should have asked mum who exactly is this maan, even personally go and see him. Approve him..."Geet instantly broke down without any reply, wimping. Wiping the tears off.
"bebo... Why mama & papa did this to me? Don't they love me?" geet childishly asked her... Helpless, desperate to find some answer, find some direction...
"no! No they love you...""
that's why they married me off to a blind man?" geet wiped her tears off...
"
no..." NT wasn't sure what to reply, If she knew this better she would have stopped this marriage far beyond.
"I also have stopped ringing them!""I will never talk to them. I hate them. I hate everyone bebo.. Everyone.."she cuts the call. Removing her tears way. Maan stood on the other side of the close door, hearing her wimping, he never took her nonstop complain seriously but today there was different element to it... Somewhere he could feel the pain deep within... He slowly opens the door as geet jump spinning around. Backing way a little. She looked at the floor, even knowing he could not see, his eyes gives out no impression her mind wasn't willing to accept to look up to his face..
He came close, while geet took few step back.
"
why are you here?" she roughly asked. Twisting the duppata. To be honest she wanted to see no one, & specially not him at the moment.
"
I need something from the cupboard!" he lied. Maan is not a typical guy who tends to lie, he always speaks the truth. But today he felt it was right not to.
He took something out of cupboard and left the room. He laid on the arm chair, hand resting over his head, looking at the complete darkness in his eyes... It was just black. Only black, no light, not even a hinder... "
what does White look like? What does red look like?" he questioned! He haven't wondered since the age of 5! Promised him self never to regret his blindness, then why his wife made him feel like this today? It was like a heavy stone over his chest. A burden.
Of course he couldn't blame no one except him self to cheat a girl in to a impossible marriage, where ... Maan stopped thinking, slowly closing his dark eyes...
At midnight, geet slowly toss and turned in to the big empty bed, shedding tears... She slowly gets up, taking the payel off then tip toes to maans bedroom,. She leaned through, just a little bit to have a clear view of him... He was sleeping, peacefully like a baby... A cold breez removed the spread exposing his shoulder, he made a face. Spinning in cold then slowly took the spread again.
She looked up at the sky,... why her? Why god have to be so cruel to take his eyes way... If he had the light they could have been cuddled up in one anther warmth. Somewhere her little voice also suggested why not now? But she ignored, ignored to listen just because he is blind...
Geet was so lost in the misery that she feel sleep against the door... next morning... Maan folds the sleeve of his kurti and was walking towards the bathroom when he bumped in to geets body. He stooped instantly, with a surprising face. He bends down, gently touched her cheek then her nose then her soft rosy lips... He strokes her eyes down to the nose, feeling the texture of her face... "
geet?" he worriedly wondered why she is lying by the door, he picked her up in his arm while she cuddled up, resting her head on his chest, it was still dark, pitch black... He gently laird her on the bed while she swirled her long hand around his neck like a snake. He tried to free the strong grip, but equally petrified she will wake up...
Maan sat next to her quietly, listening to the rapid breathing almost like she is having a nightmare!
"
geet..." his long finger came by, resting against her cheek, her grips becomes even stronger and starts pulling him towards her lips... Maan really wondered what she was up, he rests his hand again on her eyes and found it close, she surly was sleeping!
"
geet..."
In matter of few second he found him self hugging her tight. Her hand gently loosens and slides under his arm to his strong rocky back... Then suddenly she opens her eyes realizing who exactly she was hugging. Geet pushed him way in a jerk, fearfully sitting up "
what are you doing?" maan made a confusing face!
"I was calling you for past 5 minute!""that's not mean you will be all over me!" she takes the spread from the corner, covering her expose chest then realized he can't see!
"you have collage in an hour. Get ready!"Maan did Not wait for geet, knowing well she did not like him to come, so he let it be. She stood by the limo, thinking maan would show him self up but he long left to talk to some young students!
Driver came along and informed her..
Geet steps in to the collage, it was her 2nd day, and what a bad luck, arman and anjali also have decided to change collage with her! She had a shock of her life when the big foot took the first step in classroom.
"YOU!""
how could we let you finish your study alone!!" anjali laughed and hugged geet, armaan looked here and there and hugged her.
"good your pati ji is not here!" geet sadly smiled, looking down. Then quickly changed her face,
so!""
so!"
All three laughed, it was after long time she cheered up, laughing with her friends...
After the end of the class geet decided to go for shopping with her friends, it was her usual thing after every collage day, buy new fashionable cloths... Enjoy her life... She looked in the bag, still carrying the old credit card, that was lend by her parents. She looked at it annoyingly.
"it's not my money now!""
what?" anjali replied.
"I need to get a job! I don't have any money.""don't be silly geet. You are mrs khurana. What they will think?""I don't care. I need money & I am not boring handas money.""
but why?" geet was about to open her mouth when she quietly shuts again.
Maan came at 3:30 again, that's the time she suppose to finish collage but sometime teacher let's them come out early, he waited by the gate, waiting...
"sir I think mam have left!" the driver suggested...
Y
es, but there are no harm in waiting!" the driver nodes as they waits in the big black limo. It had everything, starting from shampine to television... the driver puts on one of maans favorite music on, it's been sometime that he have not touched the piano, he have not plaid any music, maybe today...
10...30...60......
