EPILOGUE

Aryan where are you, nalayak jaldi bahar aa, geet huffed as she finally sat down on couch holding her stomach which was paining due to running since last half an hour.

Aryan, either you be out in the count till ten or no ben ten today, choice is yours, geet shouted for the umpteenth time yet no results. These children these days, geet mumbled, totally unaware when two small legs came out from below the couch from the side and crawled out of the hall to the only room downstairs of dadima or shall I say badi dadima.

After around fifteen minutes of useless waiting, she heard chuckling sound from inside dadima's room and she knew her nautanki son is there.

Aryan singh khurana is the most junior khurana now and the most pampered one too. Being 4 years old, he gets all the attention from everyone. Let it be his sleeping time with dev chachu, stories from dadi, playing with his papa, chocolates and toys from badi dadi or his all naughtiness with his mumma.

With quite strides, she moved toward the room and looked at Aryan who was playing ludo with dadima. So here you are, bhut badmash ho gye ho aru tum, she entered shouting. As her voice fell on little aryan's ears, he immediately hid himself inside the thick blankets.

Why geet, jab dekho aap hmare ladle ke piche padi rehti h, dadima chided geet. Geet just pouted seeing the change in side in the whole household after aryan's birth. Earlier it was she who used to get all pampered and it was dadima only who used to take her side against maan too but now everyone would just take his side while she would be left alone.

Aryan knew now the ball is in his court and came out of the blanket hugging his badi dadi while showing his little pink tongue to her mother. Geet gave him a glare for the teasing while he again hid behind his badi dadi.

Boliye geet, kyu parshan kar rhi hai aap hamare bte ko??? Said dadima cradling Aryan. Haw mai, dadima its your ladla who is making me run in this whole house and aap kehrhe ho ki mai pareshan kar rhi hu. Dadima dekhiye na, its his sleeping time, ek to so nhi rha h, phir kal school ke liye uthne me nautanki karega.

Dadima rolled her eyes at the usual drama. After aryan's birth, whole house will be buzzing with noises from morning to evening. And the days geet would go to handa haveli to stay with her mother, maximum a week in the whole year, whole household would just look so gloom as if their life has left with her too.

Pulling Aryan infront, dadima asked him to go with geet while he pouted just like his mother pulling his lower lip out a little. Bali dadi, mujhe aapshe shtory sunni hai, pleashe aaj mai aapke paas so jau.

Story??? Which one bte???, asked dadima curiously. Mumma papa ki love shtory!! Geet felt her eyes came out of her sockets seeing her four year old ask that.

Gaining her lost senses dadima asked, bte do you even know what is love story???

Oh yesh yesh!! Today riya told her parentsh love shtory. Mujhe use mere mumma papa ki btani h… pleashe sunao na!!

Geet was left bonkers listening to the topics these children discuss in their school. Then her eyes fell on dadima who seemed to be enjoying her condition. And the very look of her face told she was ready to let out that part of the story which none of them knew. Deciding to control the situation, she immediately picked up Aryan and holding her tightly took to dev's room which is shared by Aryan too now. Aryan squirmed in the tight hold but finally let go the struggle seeing the glare she gave.

After finally making sure Aryan is asleep, she went to dadima's room to finally complete the story which left incomplete till now.

Dadima was reading a book in her bed when she heard a knock at the door and she undoubtedly knew could it be at this hour. Ayiye geet bte, am awake, dadima said without even looking at the door.

Geet came inside the room with heavy breaths. She was feeling some anxiety and a sweet churning in her stomach yet a hesitation was their too. Talking with dadima on this issue was making her uncomfortable but the need to know the secret was also there.

Geet came and sat beside dadima at the end corner of the bed with her hands locked on her lap. With a deep breath, she tried to gain back her composure. Wo wo dadima, I wanted to ask about ahh… wo wo dadima…

Geet bte aap itna wow o kyu kar rhi hai.. you want to ask something???

Ha wo dadima kya hai na wo Aryan ko wo… geet again tried but failed to continue.

Dadima was just enjoying too much the condition of her daughter in law. Who would say she is the same girl who had the ability to make world roam on her fingers. She still remembered the day when she had first seen geet 7 years back. That geet was a complete shocker for her and the fact that her simple grandson loved her was an indigestible fact for her. the fear that it would difficult for both of them to cope crept in her heart yet there was a full trust on both. And above all her own relationship had been a proof of opposite attract too.

Savitri had seen her own resemblance in geet and that was the reason she was ready to do the biggest gamble with her grandson's life.

She still looked at the nervous geet and not able to control the chuckle burst out loud. Holding her hand she cupped geet's face and said bte you are wondering how I knew about maan's love for you right??.

Geet nodded slowly trying to hide the red hue that was creeping on her cheek hearing the teasing voice of dadima.

Ok let me tell you without making you more nervous.. she again lightly chuckled.

Geet I had seen your picture with the rest of the gang of yours in annie's scrap book. All your pictures of your college times I had seen but then I didn't knew about maan's love. It was 7 years back when we had shifted out of this mansion for the renovation of the mansion. Due to all the chaos that was created due to shifting something got mixed up too and in all those things I found an album which was having maan's name on it. Since I have never seen that before, I opened it and got the shock when it was filled with pictures of a girl and not just few photoshoot pictures, but they had a variety of pictures too of different age group of that girl and few pictures of her childhood too may be when she was 12-13 year old.

I felt as if am paralyzed looking at the way that album was maintained. Each picture was taken with the finest of details. And there were descriptions too about the moment. I kept that album back in maan's room but then It dawned on me it was none another than you. Seeig those pictures I knew its not some mere crush, maan bear deep feelings for you.

Since maan was still in college then, I left the matter but with my sources I got to know, you are handa's daughter who were our family friends since long time. I decided to wait till you guys get settled in your lives but in the meanwhile I got to know that your dadu had an heart stroke. I went to meet them when he told me that his last wish is to see you married with someone who can understand your true self.

Knowing it was perfect opportunity I gave maan's proposal and he was more than happy. After satisfying himself about maan's character, he gave his approval and said he will talk with you and the rest you know bte.

Geet was so shocked hearing all that. She didn't had any idea even that maan had a photo album of hers. Even in this 6 years even maan never told her this. She was feeling so blessed to have him with her. a whole mixture of emotion was playing in her mind: anxiety to see that, love for her husband, guilty for being unaware, and a need to just see him at the very moment.

Dadima smiled seeing geet lost or may be mentally cursing her grandson for hiding it too. She nodded her head in to and fro knowing her daughter a real too well and shook her to bring back In reality.

Geet looked at dadima and made a sad face. You want to see that album now, geet nodded yes quickly in excitement. Umm maybe I know where it can be!!

Reaaally dadima, please tell me na, geet squealed in excitement. May be in that study of hiss where you would have checked the least. Geet immediately jumped at the idea and ran back to her room directly barging in his study.

She started ruffling his stacks of files which covered half of the room. Shuffling through two cupboards and keeping it back in order she just lost the hope that it still would be here. She felt anger course through her veins at the failure but the curiosity was still present. Finally giving up her weapons, she sat down on the fluffy chair of his behind his working table and that's when her eyes fell on the drawers in there.

She immediately opened them but found nothing other than some papers, paper pins, stapler and some more papers. Now only a single drawer was left. Praying to babaji, she pulled it but it was locked. She knew she had hit the bull's eye as the single drawer being locked in the whole room means kcuh to gadbad hai and took out the spare key which she kept.

As she opened the wooden drawer, a light brown album caught her view that had their wedding pic pasted in front with "MAANEET" written in calligraphy. she felt she had got the world, as she took that thick heavy album in her hand. A sweet butterfly dance started in her belly as she read the word maaneet. Maan and geet's reality was in there and what an apt name was given. Maaneet, a string that joins maan and geet in an unbreakable bond.

She moved her fingers leisurely over their pictures, remembering back the day when they got tied with each other for never to let go, for their whole life and the afterlife too, for the eternity to be precise.

She took the album in her hand and took it to their bedroom and laying on the bed, she opened the album with awaited breathes.

As she saw the first pic, she was just bowled. It was her pic when they had met in peru. She was in a skirt top and was laughing holding my stomach. The picture was taken in such a way that the entire focus was on her and the entire background was blurred. It looked so awesome.

Then there were many more pictures of her in peru and then lots of her grown up till he completed college. Each picture had its own new emotion, let it be happiness, sadness, anxiety, frustration, irritation, or her pain. She was so much immersed in herself that didn't even knew a pair of intense eyes was fixed on her since last fifteen minutes.

Maan came in room after an overseas business call in terrace. He was shocked when he saw his mishty immersed in something and that's when he realized it was his album. How did she got that, he wondered. he looked at her lost in that as she took her own sweet time in admiring her own pic. The happiness on her face was something for which he would have even sold himself.

With quite steps, he came and sat behind her seeing which picture she was looking from last ten minutes. It was their marriage picture and she was standing with a little frown which she tried hard to hide but failed.

Slowly he placed his hand on her waist making her jump in shock. Geet came out of her thoughts as she felt a cold hand sliding on her warm skin under the saree. She looked back at maan and found him looking at her with deep intensity.

She immediately turned around and hugged him tight whispering thank you. Maan hugged her back taking her body in his hold. She shuddered as she felt his cold skin massaging her soft back and couldn't help to let a lone tear slip her eyes.

Maan felt her shuddering as if trying to control the sobs that were burning her throat. He immediately parted her and looked at her wet eyes and immediately wiped away the tears. Kya hua mishty, why are you crying. I thought you would like that???

Like maan, I just love it. Its (sob) its (sob) so beautiful. You did so much for me, and look at me(sob). Maan made her drink water so that she can calm down. After she calmed down she said, you always did so much for me. Even this album, it shows how much you love me and see this photo, I didn't even have single nice marriage pic. You noticed na that frown on my face, kitni gandi hu mai, she again sobbed.

Uff geet, you are crying for a picture. Kitni achi to lag rhi ho, kya problem hai. Geet pointed at her nose which was crunched a little in anger.

Oh your nose, ha thodi tedhi h, but most of the time you like this, so mai to difference I bhool gya hu tumhari happiness and anger me. Geet looked at him with big big eyes hearing him making fun of her.

She took a pillow and hit him with it. Maan made a baby hurt face and rubbed the place where she hit. She turned back to the album but before she could turn it more, maan snatched it from her. maan give it to me, mujhe dekhni hai, she struggled to let it free, but he just hid it behind his back.

No jaan, you just spoiled my surprise I am not giving it back. He said hugging it back. Surprise?? Kaisa surprise??? I was planning to gift it to you on our tenth anniversary or maybe 25^th anniversary but you just spoiled it by seeing it now, not any more.

Geet again struggled to take it back but when he didn't gave, she again filled her eyes with tears making her succumb to her demand and give it to her. with an angry glare, he gave her while she just gave him a wet smooch on his cheek.

As she turned back to the page, she further saw some after marriage close moments too, pictures of their fight and love too.

And then she caught her pregnancy pictures too. She smiled remembering how much pamper he used to do her. sometimes they would fight just because he wished her to take rest while she would argue to work. A complete session they had to took where doctor explained how good it is woman to work during pregnancy as it eases off delivery and that's when he actually allowed her.

Then she caught her another picture, when she was 5 months pregnant and had put on some weight too. That day was really a memorable one. She was having problem in getting on her old clothes. Though she had some loose patialas but they had gone tight too. Without even informing her, maan went to shopping and bought her loose gowns and kurtis and some lingerie too as she was really not comfortable in her old ones. That day he showed her how much considerate he was for her needs.

Then she caught another picture, when she got the first kick. He was so excited then. He would just keep touching her stomach to feel the kick. And the baby would just love him so much, that would start kicking her hearing his single voice. He used to proudly claim that's its his daughter that's why he responds to him.

She just felt like laughing remembering how much she used to crave for imli and pickle that he had to store a bottle of each type in the room itself. And there were days when he would cook pasta for her as baby would just love the one made by him.

She glanced at the various stages of her life in that album and that's when she saw the picture in which she had first time held Aryan in her arms. It had been a lifetime moment for her. Aryan was so small like a big mouse and how much scared she was to hurt him. It was he who had took Aryan first in his hold and made her take it slowly.

His first smile, his cry, her feeding him, each moment has a picture. She remembered how she made a face when Aryan did potty and she had to clean him. Maan was enjoying the scene from far while maa helped geet in holding Aryan.

Aryan used to just love her dad the most and geet would just crib on that. He was supposed to be her beta but he turned out to be papa's boy. And the sleepless nights were the ones when she would be favourite of Aryan as maan would sleep out of fatigue and she would had to get up every hour to check on him or feed him or change him. Though maan would wake up too hearing his cry, but she would convince him to sleep knowing how tired he gets after whole office fatigue.

And then it was aryan's first day at school, how much he cried to go. He was so stubborn that maan would say that instead of taking qualities from him, he had totally gone on his mother. Geet would pout on that but well it was a truth too she cant refuse. He had features of him and traits of her. and like her mumma he would love maan the most.

Geet would have kept going on and on seeing each pic, if maan hadn't pulled it from her hand and placed on the side table. Maan let me see na, she complained.

No not now, kal dekhlena. Now let my daughter sleep. He said making her lay on bed and patting her 13 week stomach in a fatherly care.

No its my son, Aryan is your son, hamesha aapki baat manta h meri nhi,now its my son's chance.

No madam, this time its my daughter, am fully sure, he argued hugging her.

How???

That's because at aryan's time you loved to fight and had more energy and craved for sour things and the result, we have your naughty son. Now you cry more, get tired easily and craved for sweet things especially chocolates, am sure its my beautiful daughter now.

Geet was about to argue, but he sealed her lips with his promising to love her till his last breath or even more if possible.
