~Episode 20~
"Good morning, Mr Khurana"😳 she greeted him in her husky voice.
He looks at her unsatisfied, and doesn't greet her back, to which Geet narrows her mouth in anger😡 and walks to him (still on bed avoiding her)
"Maan? Ab yeh kya nayi shararat hai? I said goodmorning and aap mooh bana rahe hain.😕"
"Geet ek saal ho gaya hai humari shaadi ko and you still haven't learnt how to say goodmorning."
"What? Oh! toh ab aap sikhayenge goodmorning bolna..." she looks away grumpily, "Aap toh waise bhi yahi samajhte hain ki mujhe kuch nahi aata...blah...blah...blah...I can speak English, itni bhi gavar nahi hoon...humare Hoshiarpur main I was ...blah blah blah..." speeded on Ms Hoshiarpur Express to the complete annoyment of Maan, who held his head.
"GEET!" he yelled out her name holding his finger against her articulating mouth. She stopped her blabbering abruptly, closed her mouth looking at him, he removes his finger after assuring that she has stopped her bak bak. PHEW!!
She was going to retort back...which Maan recognised and before even a syllable could escape her mouth he pulls her down towards him, her face a few millimetres above his. Her hair slips around her cheeks and falls on his face. Geet looks at him in shock, but Maan has a loving smile on his face which puzzles her even more.
"Geet...I don't care if you goodmorning in English, Punjabi or even gibberish...meri goodmorning toh tumhari ek muskaan hai..."
"Accha meri muskaan...toh theekh hai..." she grins, "Ab theekh hai? Ho gay aapka goodmorning?Ab chaliye uthiye..."
She is about to get up, when he pulls her back, and this time she falls on his chest, and he puts his hands around her, holding her tightly.
"Maan...subah subah aap mujhe tang kyun kar rahe ho? Good morning ho gaya na...?"
"Mm...hhh..."he nods sideways.
"Nahi matlab?? Maan mujhe gussa aa raha hai...chodiye mujhe."
He slides his hand into the wet strands of her hair and pulls her close. He's about to kiss her...and right then BSK wakes up, lifting his tiny pink hands...and his cute biceps then fall on MSK's biceps...
Geet pushes Maan away and sits up with her back towards him...Maan gets up and sits upright, looking at her and then their baby.
"Geet yeh cheating hai...Main nahi janta...Mujhe bas mera goodmorning chahiye."
"Ssshhh...baby aapko sun raha hai...aap toh use bhi bigad doge."
"Baby ko, bilkul nahi...my junior's gonna be the best...Pappa's super boy."
"Pappa's super boy?? Huh!!" she takes baby from the bed and holds him to her heart, "Baby toh Mamma ka dulara hai...hai na Aditya?"
She's sitting with her back towards Maan, who closes in and places his chin on her shoulder, kisses her sweetly on her cheek. She closes her eyes and smiles...baby smiles too.
"Geet, baby yeh chahta hai...ki mamma humesha papa ki baat sune aur jaldi se unhe goodmorning de de..."
Geet takes in a deep breath and smiles...she then elbows him in his chest and gets up.
"Mil gaya Goodmorning...now get up."
Maan grumpily gets up, flinging the blanket up in the air and starts searching for his phone.
Geet walks to him but he ignores her...
"Maan yeh dhoond rahe hai aap?"
She holds out his phone...He snatches it out from her hand...and avoids her angrily...
