PRESENT
dr smiled & took out her note pad & scribbled ' Geet u can stop having those birth control pills. Yeh lo.. have these multivitamin tablets. I am sure in 2-3 months ur cycle will be normal.
Maan was on cloud nine. He had a big grin on his face like he had made it to moon. Geet looked at his face in disbelieve for she had never seen him smile like this... still unsure why was he so happy. Still didn't understand him.. was he really thinking they would make babies now!!!. Did he still believe pammi was the reason for the divorce!!! she definitely expected him to be smarter than that.
Maan very promptly took the prescription & thanked the dr. Sign of relief was all evident on his face. He really was happy & relieved in all sense. He had been fighting within why they were not having kids. He even feared within .. especially after that party taunts..
He had spend nights thinking over it. He never spoke to Geet abt it, because he didn't want to fill her innocent mind with all such worries. He even spend hrs in the gym blaming himself for all this. One way he was happy that she didn't go deep into wat those ladies spoke that day not knowing her reasons. Feared how he would have a faced her, had it been all because of his sinful decision for aborting their child.
Geet was surely going to get a heart attack today. Her husband smiling more than often & giving her all lovey dovey looks.. dammit wats wrong with him. Though part of her rejoiced it but part dreaded his reaction when he realizes its all not the way he thinks it is. He looked more like a kid to her now oblivious to the reality living in an imaginary world of his own.
He walked closely to her to the car park. He seemed impatient. The moment they reached the car he lovingly cupped her face. She got very conscious & began to look the surrounding not giving him a chance to speak. She fluttered her lashes & freed herself nervously looking here & there.. yeh aap kya kar rahen hain. He too was taken a back with his own act. He took a deep breath & settled behind the wheel. Geet felt really odd with his sudden change in mannerism. She straighten her sari palu & consciously sat beside him.
Through out their drive Maan had only one thing to say.. she didn't have to worry abt the divorce thing now.. he will speak to ma abt it, the delay in her conceiving was because of the tablets she took.. now just matter of couple of months. He again went on pointing how kiddish she was not to understand the reason of her not conceiving was those medicines.
Maan ' ma ne pata nahi kasien soch liya.. tum tho mana kar sakti thi
then he sighed.. jantha hoon tum ne zarur mana kiya hoga, waisen bhi tum ma ke samne kya kah sakti ho
he couldn't stop cursing his mom far all this..
yeh sab confusion tumhari us medicine ke wajase huwa.
Aacha suno.. tumhe wo medicine lene ki kya zarurat thi
Geet looked at him for the first time between this one way conversation
before she could spit out the bitter truth.. I didn't want another abortion..
he just shrugged the whole thought .. woh sab chodo.. just forget abt all that now. He dropped her at KM & smiled again.. abt to leave her perplexed when he just causally commented sach main Geet tum kitni nadan ho. Tumhe pata hi nahi wo medicine
Geet looked straight into his eyes wondering did he really think she was so dumb.. aap ko sach main lagtha hain
he was a bit taken a back initially. He smiled bit confused
aap ko sach main lagtha hain I didn't know? A tear escaped her eye
silence lingered
aap aab bhi manthen hain ma ne divorce ke liya mujhe kaha?
He just stared at her blankly without responding or even acknowledging what he understood.. forget understanding whether he even heard it!!! his silence send a stabbing pain into her shattered heart
Wat does she mean? It was total shock to him... AGAIN!!
After thinking for a whole day yesterday he had come to a conclusion.. Geet was definitely not happy abt the divorce & obviously she was forced to do so & then ma & that party fiasco on barren thing.. it was very clear ma would have forced Geet to give him divorce. He took her to the dr so that things get sorted out. He believed that the reason for the divorce was his mom wanting a grandchild, so if that is taken care off .. matter is solved.. as simple & straight... not realizing the deeper bitter truth. It was far more painful, scarier contrary to wat he thought it was..
He didn't say anything just drew away not saying anything like always. He preferred to analyze things himself. Well thats been the way he was brought up. Handling everything himself..be his studies, his carrier, his business & now his marriage. He was not used to discuss things with anyone. He always looked into matters in his own way & got to a solution. Its been like that for decades actually for ever in his case. Ma was busy with house & family things, most of the time arguing with Daadi ma & dad in his business.
Next few minutes Geet stood their motionless. Nothing was more painful than seeing bitterness clouding his determined pairs. For that moment she felt it would have been better to bear her loneliness for life than giving him that pain. She can't say she loved him. But she cared & don't know when that caring became her life to an extent that she forgot herself in that.. her happiness in that.. & probably that is wat u call love!!. She tried a lot to keep him happy & find happiness in that. Probably a lot she succeeded too over the years. But some where she began to feel she is not the right person for him. She probably is not strong enough to fight this loneliness that would come with being Mrs Maan Singh Khurana. Probably he needed some one better than her, who could compliment him. Bring some life in him, not fear him like she does. She tried a lot to initially to wipe off the fear.. but she couldn't. Nor did his ignorance helped. In the beginning days she avoided confronting him to avoid unpleasant atmosphere in house. Latter it just became her. Still she did argued with him for their unborn child but .. she shied.
************
He thought so much, so ,many reasons.. but the thought his loving wife would want a divorce from him was not a possible alternate in his all possibilities. Even after her almost saying it.. pain evident in her face he still can't accept that.. million of questions followed... why???
men r men.. all he could see was her mistake. She took birth control pill, because she didn't want kids & here he is feeling guilty for the abortion.. his confusion turned to clear cut anger. Here he is thinking of her as innocent & nave to an extent he was blaming his own ma for all this.
How dare she!!! he screamed in anguish. How dare she tried to manipulate Maan Singh khurana
He could believe for once his ma was wrong not his Geet. He thought she could make silly mistakes because she is immature, but no.. she is not. She is like a cunning fox.. venomous, he gritted his teeth in anger.
So she planned it all from the beginning. Why !!! why did she do all that??.. may be!! she never accepted this relation at the first place.
"Yes so much of age difference !!" he blamed it on that
"Yes, thats why"!! his own insecurities surfaced.
Everything between them that he treasured seemed meaningless part of her cunning plan. Maan Singh Khurana was nothing but a puppet of her plot. Her plot to deceive him, cheat him, fool him, play with his emotions gods knows since when!!!
