In the car
Geet felt happy and was smiling to herself,MAan saw her smiling and started smiling too.
They looked at each other and suddenly they both started laughing..laughed so much so that Maan actually had to stop the car to continue laughing...
Geet- Waah..I didn't know ki MAAn Singh Khurana..the eternal sadu- also laughs..
Maan(pretending to be serious)- Geet....
Geet looks at him sweetly,
MAan starts laughing again and off they go...laughing...
Hearts bursting with happiness...Maan because his wife is happy,
Geet because well..she had mangoes..
Maan- waise Geet, seriously. I want you to promise me something.
Geet- kya?
Maan- you will tell me first if something is worrying you or making you unhappy or if you're sick
Geet- I cannot promise you that..
Maan gets so heartbroken at this one line and Geet realizing how this sounds amends
Geet- I mean, I don't want you to be worried as i worry about small things
Maan- If they worry you,they aren't small for me. Please...
She looks deep into his eyes, searching for something...Maan veils them with impersonal concern and unable to find what she was looking for(without quite knowing it)
Geet says okay
They are quiet for the rest of the journey back home and after entering the house, go to their separate rooms
Maan immediately realises he should be dressed and helping Dadi so he undresses, and finding that in his hurry, he had taken Geet's bag and his bag was in her room.
He moves towards the door and Geet at the same time opens it.
(A Maan in boxers and Geet ka dupatta slips because oft he impact..but neither notice)
They are lost in each others' eyes.
Geet has quite forgotten what she was here for, but somewhere downstairs a voice sounds and they come back to reality.
Yes, the reality- that Maan is almost naked in front of Geet and Geet's dupatta is currently gracing the floor.
Maan- woh,main woh..umm..i have your clothes
Geet- yes. I have yours
They exchange bags and dress up quickly...then a knock at Geet's door
Maan- Can i come in Mrs Khurana?
Geet(very shyly)- aa jaayiye
Maan- I bought this for you a day after the wedding...would go very well with the dress
Geet turns around from the mirror and sees her husband in Indian Glory...those long legs covered by a shapely churidaar, that strong chest and abdomen adorned with a maroon sherwaani..and his face. That high forehead, those shining eyes filled with good nature and intelligence..
Maan- Geet?!
Geet- haan? woh, Maan..ek second
She gestures to him to come near her. He comes.
She reaches up, and opens 2 buttons of his sherwani
Maan- Geet...Is waqt?
Geet- Shut up Maan..aap bhi na..Just that you would not feel suffocated.
Maan(blushing)- thanks
He is pretty flustered and then is about to go out of the room when Geet stops him again.
Geet- Maan...Aap jo laaye the, can you help me put it on?
Maan- Oh yeah..sure
He goes and puts on the beautiful, simple yet elegant Kundan necklace he had got especially designed for Geet. He then looks at her, and says
Maan- Geet. I have never seen some one look so beautiful.
His eyes brighter than usual..He moves closer to Geet
Geet was completely lost in his eyes, quite warm because of his praise
Dadi- Geet...beta are you ready? Oh MAan..aap yahan?Everyone is waiting for you guys
Maan and Geet- Jee Dadi, we were just...
Dadi- It's okay..you're married,you know..
With a wink and feeling smug inside, she walked away,leaving the two alone
Dadi while walking downstairs, thought
Dadi- they are perfect for each other and yet this distance. I hope Geet realises that Maan loves her. But how will she? He hasn't said anything. She merely thinks he is helping her out,doing her duty as he has always done. But I'm Maan's dadi..I know his world revolves around that beautiful girl who has faced so much in the short time she has been alive.
May God bless them always and make them realize how much happiness awaits them if only they accept their changing feelings...
That's it guys!
