hello everyone,
thanks a ton for all the lovely comments...😛.... and here is the next part...!!!
Part 49
"geet!" he said angrily and turned her towards him slightly, "Looks like you are taking the words of the waitress too seriously".
"What did she say now?" she asked.
"Husband" he responded.
Geet looked at him thoughtfully. He was right. She was completely mad to ask him for a massage. Since it was Maan Singh Khurana, he stopped her and told her a "no" directly. Had it been a rogue like the NRI, he would have certainly taken advantage of her weak situation, just like that dreadful night. She looked at his decency and charisma and smiled. He could not tell her that directly and hence gave an excuse of not being patient enough. She realized she had fallen in love with the right person, she made no mistake in choosing- Maan Singh Khurana!
.........
"geet!", maan yelled when he saw her smiling to herself, "tum pagal ho gaye ho kya?muskura kyu rahe ho?"
"Haan, main pagal ho gayi hoon!khush? ya kuch aur bhi sunna hai aapko?"
Maan hit his head. "kab nikalna hai yaha se?" he asked.
"Around 5pm", she said pulling his hand to look at the time in his watch.
"theek hai. Relax till then. I have some work to do!" said maan walking away to the laptop.
"But I'm not sleepy", said geet sitting up in her bed.
"I told you to relax, that does not mean you have to sleep", he said switching on his laptop.
"Then what should I do?" she asked frustrated.
Maan took a deep breath, "Life's not going to be easy with you, honey!" he thought and walked to her and placed the TV remote in her hand and said, "yeh lo remote. Tumhari bak bak bandh karo aur iski bak bak shuru karo" and walked back.
Geet shot him an angry look and switched on the TV. She changed the channed to cartoon network and started watching "Tom and Jerry". She was laughing her life out and maan looked at her surprised and then at the TV, when he realized she was watching cartoons. He smiled at her childish nature and got to work again.
"Maan, aap ko cartoons pasand hai" she asked not taking her eyes off the TV.
"Kya?" he asked not looking at her.
"chod dijiye. Aap hi bahut bada cartoon hai, aap dusre cartoons ko kya dekhenge!" she said laughing away when she saw Jerry hitting Tom with a hammer.
"Geet!" he yelled.
"Haan, yahi hoon aur ab tak mera naam geet hi hai. Chillaeye mat. Kaam kijiye, kaam!" she said and continued watching.
Maan wanted to hit her with something for not allowing him to work in peace and then his phone rang. He saw daadima calling him, "bas inhi ki kami thi" he thought and answered.
"Ji, Daadima!" he said.
Geet roared out in laughter and yelled, "Maan, bahut mazaa aa raha hai, aaeye na, aap bhi dekh lijiye".
Daadima heard geet's voice and said, "Maan, humne subeh mazaak kiye the, aapke shaadi aur honey moon ke bare mein. Kahi aap ne hamare baton ko seriously tuo nahi le li? Humare bina hi shaadi kar liya kya?"
Maan closed his eyes in frustration. "ek hai yeh geet aur ek mere daadima, in dono ne milke mera jeena haram kar diya. Kya haal ho gaya maan tera in dono ki wajah se".
"daadima aisa kuch nahi hai".
"tuo geet kya kar rahi hai?"
"Tom and Jerry dekh rahi hai, aapko bhi dekhni hai, tuo aapke room mein TV switch on karke, tune to channel no 15", he said angrily.
"Oh! Mrs. Maan Khurana TV dekh rahi hai, isiliye Mr. Maan Khurana naraz hai?" she asked suppressing her laugh.
"Daadima, aapne phone kyun kiya?" he asked loudly.
"yeh poochne ke liye ki aap ghar kab aa rahe hai?lekin lagta hai, I'll only see you for breakfast tomorrow".
"aisa nahi hai. I'm coming home for dinner".
"Alright! We'll see Mr. Khurana" she said and continued, "When you are back, come to meet me! And yes, don't forget to check your watch before waking me up maan. Unlike you and geet I do not have a habit of staying up all night" she said laughing aloud.
"Daadima, main dinner se pehle hi aake mil loonga".
"Let's see son! Bye and kiss my daughter-in-law from my side", she said and hung up.
Maan put the phone on the table and held his head in his hand. What was he going to do with his daadima, would she ever stop teasing him?
His gaze fell on the watch and he noticed it was 4pm. "Geet, if you want to order something to drink or eat, then do it now," he roared.
"Okay!" she said, muting the TV and bending over to the phone, she took the receiver and dialed the Room Service. She ordered for a strawberry milkshake for her self and a coffee for maan. The doorbell rang after 15 minutes and geet gestured that she would open it. She took the tray and placed his coffee on his table and her milkshake at the bedside table.
She walked up to him and put th cube of sugar, stirred it for him and gave it to him. Maan took it without looking at her and she walked back to sip her milkshake.
After a few sips she asked, "Maan aapko taste karna hai?"
Maan looked at her and he walked to her. "haan" he said.
Geet was about to hand over the glass to him, when he held her hand tight to secure the glass in her hand.
"aapko dusra chahiye tuo order kar sakti hoon", she said looking towards the phone.
"uski zaroorat nahi hai" he said turning her face and holding it with his other hand. He licked away the layer of the milkshake of her upper lips and her lips and said, "kar diya" and walked away.
Geet watched his back with her mouth wide open. He turned to look at her, asked, "Geet, are you offering me some more to taste?", and grinned at her when she shut her mouth.
She quietly sipped the rest of her milkshake without speaking a word. "sirf yeh, mujhe chup kara sakte hai" she said grumbling.
It was 5pm and geet got up to adjust her dress and her duppata. Maan put all his things together and checked the room to see if they forgot anything. Geet looked at him and said, "chale?"
He nodded and moved close to the door. He bolted it and walked back to geet who was sitting on the bed and wearing her sandals.
"geet", he said kneeling in front of her, "I will drop you home now and then go home".
"itni jaldi?" she asked placing her hand on his cheek.
"haan. Daadima's waiting for me".
She did not stop him. She knew how important daadima was to him and she would never come in between them.
"theek hai" she said smiling.
"And one more thing, I want you to seriously think about the farm house job and let me know, so that I can talk to my daadima or if you want you can talk to her too incase you are interested".
She shook her head in acceptance. "Good" he said patting her cheek.
"another thing, schedule an appointment with Dr. Amrita some time this week and let me know. I'll take you to her. You need to get another check up done".
"But, mujhe woh nahi pasand".
"theek hai, I'll see who else you could consult".
"Maan, I'll schedule a doctor appointment at 8am on Friday morning. Is that okay with you? Will you still take me?" she asked skeptically.
She knew he would say no as he has a breakfast meeting with Andy Anderson that same time.
"Geet, I thought you scheduled an appointment for a breakfast meeting at that time. How can I make it to the hospital, honey? Choose a later time and I promise a lunch with you and ofcourse the whole night with you".
"Maan, if I'm going to the doctor I'm going at that same time, else I'm not!" she said stubbornly.
"Geet, are you still insecure? I told you I'm not going to fall for her, I'm already C-O-M-M-I-T-T-E-D", emphasizing on the last word.
"Are you coming at that time or not?" she asked almost getting teary because of her anger.
Maan sat on the bed and pulled her close and said, "Geet" he said softly, "kya hua? Ek meeting hi tuo hai. Why are you so scared? What can anybody do in broad day light?" and started laughing.
Geet looked at him furiously, pushed his hand away, and yelled, "I'll be waiting at the lobby, Mr. Khurana".
She was about to walk away when maan pulled her back again. He took her hand, placed it on his heart, and said, "You are the only one here, geet! No one can take this place ever, not in this life, not in my other lives too".
Geet looked away in anger.
"Geet, you're tempting me to kiss your anger away. Is that what you want?"
She did not respond, she was too angry to. "Alright, future Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana, here we go!" he said sealing his lips on hers.
Geet tried to push him away when he said, "geet, the more you resist the more I'm going to kiss you! Trust me; you're not going to be able to get away".
Geet looked into his eyes and found them very playful. He held her even close and kissed her everywhere on her face, starting from her forehead to eyes, tips of her nose, cheeks and her lips. He turned her around, untied the dori of her kurti, and kissed her neck and her back. Geet closed her eyes and held onto his hand tightly. His lip touch had created a tingling sensation on her back and she was slowly losing control of herself like always. He hugged her tightly from behind and said very softly, "Geet, I'm never going to leave you for another woman. You can trust me on that one thing, blindly, Please!"
It was a humble request. Geet turned to him and said, "Maan, I'm sorry for doubting you in the first place".
"No, I'm not hurt. I'm actually happy that you are so possessive".
"Kya karu, you are Maan Singh Khurana, saari ladkiya tumpe marte hai aur hamesha unki nazrein tumpe rehte hai".
"Lekin Maan Singh Khurana ke nazre hamesha geet ko dhoondte hai, aur geet ke liye hi hai", he said kissing her lips gently. "Don't you remember, you were the one who said you were not jealous of any girl because no one has the guts to come so close to maan khurana and kiss him on his lips or on his bare chest? What happened to that pride?"
"Maan, woh..!"
"Geet, I understand. I don't blame you for it. I guess, it's just the experiences of your past that are making you behave this way".
Geet looked up at him in disbelief, "how did this man precisely know what she was thinking?"
"accha ek baat batao, if at some point in life, you come across the man who cheated you, what will you do?"
"jhoote se marungi" she said.
Maan smiled, "geet, you're back to your usual self now. That's good!"
"aapka matlab, ghali dena mera usual self hai?" she retorted.
Maan gave her a "is it not obvious?" looks and she got angry again.
"Achha okay darling, I'm sorry! On a serious note, tell me what will you do?"
"I'll tell him a "thank you" ".
"Kya?"
"Haan, if not for him and his deception, how would I be standing in Maan Singh Khurana's arms today? If he had not left me, how would I meet you, how would I know you are my true soul mate and not that rogue".
"geet, no swearing. Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana ko aisi basha shobha nahi deti".
"Maan, jab main aapki patni ban jaungi tab chod dungi".
"Kisko?" he asked concerned.
She looked at him and laughed. "Aapko nahi, swearing ko!"
"Thanks for asserting that. I was a little worried".
"Maan, chale kya?"
"badi jaldi hai, jaane mein?"
"Nahi mujhe nahi jaana, lekin maa aapka wait kar rahe honge".
"Oh, well, yes, good you reminded me. It would have been a catastrophe if I reached home late today", he said.
"chaliye phir", she said very unwillingly.
"geet don't do that. Don't tempt me to do something I cannot".
He took her lips into his mouth again and kissed her passionately. While kissing her, he tied the dori of her kurti.
He pulled away from her but she did not let him go this time. She pulled him back into a kiss and held him that way for some time. After 20 minutes, they were on their way to the lobby.
Due to the heavy traffic, it took them nearly 3 hours to get to geet's home. She slowly got of the car and walked away, not wanting to turn back. She knew she would not be able to leave him if she stopped. He knew that too and hence did not stop her.
He reached home half hour later and found his daadima sitting on the couch in her room, with her eyes closed. Maan walked to her very silently, took the magazine from her hand, and placed it to the side. He then removed her reading glasses and placed them on the magazine. He put his head on her lap and held her hand. He kissed it and said, "daadima, geet ne aaj keh diya ki woh mujhse pyaar karti hai".
Daadima did not open her eyes but she smiled. He continued, "yeh sab aapki wajah se hua daadima. Agar aapne us din mujhe himmat nahi diya hota, tuo geet aaj mere saath nahi hoti. Thanks daadima. Aapne hamesha mera saath diya hai, mujhe maa se badh kar pyaar kiya hai. I really love you daadima. I owe my existence and happiness to you! No matter how much I thank you for every single thing you did for me, it will still not be enough".
She did not speak anything. She was happy that her grandson finally had what he wanted.
She touched his hair gently and said softly, "Congratulations, Son!"
He still lay on her lap and smiled. Daadima spoke again, "why don't you go and fresh up! We'll have our dinner".
"Alright!" he said and walked to the outhouse to change and got back.
He then went and had dinner with his daadima and spoke to her upto 10 pm. He walked back to the outhouse after greeting her good night!
He lay on his bed after a long long time. For the last few days, he could hardly catch any sleep. He kept thinking of everything that happened during the day. He, then remembered, the question he asked geet about her past. He wondered what he would do and how he would react the day he knew that the man geet was married came face to face with her. Would he be able to forgive him and like geet said, "thank" him for bringing geet into his life?
"No!" he thought. He would never be able to forgive the man who tormented "his" geet so much.
alrite people, go ahead and leave long comments.. !!!! 😉
