Okay..so here's the update...
Maan is driving very slowly..Geet finally looks at him and asks
Geet- Maan..Please drive.
MAan- I'm not in the mood to go home so soon..
Geet- why? Aren't you in a hurry to go to that dinner of yours? with that client?
Maan-hmmm
Geet- so...stop thinking and start driving so that you cand rop me, get ready and go.
Maan- Geet...She is very important for Khurana constructions.
Miss Rashmi
Geet(to herself)- Rashmi..important toh hoyegi hi...Modern Churail.. hmph
MAan- kya ? Ddi you say something?
Geet- Nahi..MAin toh kuchh bolti hi nahi..
MAan stops the car
Geet- MAan...yeh gaadi kyun rok di?
MAan- Bas..shhh..5 minutes, just stay quiet. Close your eyes and see what comes to your mind.
Geet- nahi. I don't want to.
Maan moves closer to Geet...very close...she can see herself reflected in his eyes
Maan- look into my eyes then. What do you see?
Geet- uhh...uhh..I see me.
Maan- look deeper...
HE moves closer...
Geet is getting lost in his eyes..
Maan- ab...
Geet- ab kya...
Maan is finding it very hard to keep track of what he was saying so he puts his finger on her lips
MAna-shh..
They keep staring at each other..with Maan's finger on Geet's lips..
He starts to say something, when Geet cups his mouth with her hand..
Geet- mhh mhh..
Maan- hmm?
Maan and Geet slowly remove each others' hands from their mouths and MAan..
Maan-ahem...yeah..um..
Geet looks away a little shy
MAan- Geet...You know what I see when I look into your eyes?
Geet- kya?
Maan- that you are scared.. No, let me continue please. Geet, everyone you loved has hurt you, very much. You have faced a lot in your life and I admire you for the strength with which you live. But you are scared of opening up. You are scared of revealing your emotions...aren't you?
Geet- Maan. Yeh aap keh rahe hain? You yourself have created sucha huge block that it's so difficult for you to even talk kindly to someone...Using your anger you have made yourself so aloof. Your eyes show your kindness..but also show a vulnerability...I don't know- maybe people don't see it..
MAan- Geet..I don't let anyone see inside. But some how you have always been able to...
Geet- MAan..hum dono bohot thede hain..LEt's leave this topic alone.
Maan- Okay. LEt's go
Geet- suniye...is baar..please drive..you really will get late for dinner.
Maan- Geet... I don't want to go..But I have to..
They drive in silence...thinking of what the other had said..
At home, they go to their respective rooms..
MAan is so lost thinking of Geet, he wears his clothes, but is unable to concentrate on knotting his tie
Geet enters his room to say bye and sees him struggling.
Geet- laao..main kar deti hoon
Maan doesn't say anything, just stares at her while she is tying the knot
He feels like a kid again..when every time before he went to school, Dadi used to tie his knot and told him to finish his lunch and study hard that day
Geet was saying something to him..
MAan-hmm..?you said something?
Geet- Maan..khana achhe se kha lena okay? kahin kaam ke chakkar mein bhookhe reh jaayein aap.
Maan thinking of the client smiled faintly and said
Maan- Geet...we won't be working the entire night you know...
This really annoyed Geet and she said
Geet- Fine. Okay then. Bye. Have FUN during DINNEr with your CLIENT
She stalks off to her own room leaving a slightly bemused and comfused Maan
He goes off to dinner and Geet hearing him go says to herslef
Geet- Bye bhi nahi karke gaye. UFf..Fine.
She gives Dadi company at dinner but says she will eat later as she isn't hungry now. she doesn't eat and then goes to Maan's room. She had wanted to spend more time with him. But he had his work...and that churail client..
Geet- thik hai...I don't care. Hmph..I am simply going to spend some time here, and go back and sleep.
She looks around his room- immediately feeling him around her- she feels safe and happy, and knows her baby does too
she talks to her darling
Geet- So you like it here...Your papa is too busy baby...for both you and me..busy with HER. But we feel okay here alone, don't we.. We're used to it now..aren't we?
The baby nudges her and she realizes she had been going off track
Geet- anyways...he isn't that bad..is he?
Baby nudges back
Geet- you like him? that khadoos?
Baby nudges again and she takes that as a yes..
Geet (softly)- I will just lie down a bit
She does..and goes to sleep in MAan's bed...
To be continued in the evening!
Love you guys!!
