Maan had given strict instructions to his grand mom that the room should be decorated plain and simple but as always she had her way.

The room smelt of roses, there were flowers all over, sprayed all along the room. The big king size bed had been decorated with style, the headboard was adorned in orchids, white and purple orchids, there were red rose petals splayed all over the bed that was covered with a white silk bed sheet, the floor was a carpet weaved with pink roses. A curtain out of tube-roses had been weaved all around the bed. It looked exquisite. There were candles placed at the corners.the picture looked straight out of a fairytale.

It was all daadima's idea, she had given strict instructions to the florist that the room should be decorated as never before, it should be done with style and not overdone and now what she saw she was thoroughly impressed.

Geet was led into maan's room after all the rituals. Daadima made her sit on the bed and kissed her on her head and then she left closing the door. Geet's heart thudded violently and she knotted her fingers in nervousness. This was a totally alien situation for her and morever the decoration of the room added to her misery. The room smelt sensuous and the dim lighting gave it a romantic look. She felt awkward and then she heard voices, just outside the door, she could hear girls giggling laughing, they were asking for something, she couldn't hear properly, they were trying to bargain with someone but with whom? And then she heard maan 's authoritative heavy baritone voice "ok I'll give you what you want" so all the while they were bargaining with him, geet now had her heart in her throat, the inevitable moment is here, maan will be here any moment, but what is he going to tell him, how will she face him, what will she say? What would he say? Her mind was jammed with all these questions and here emotions jostled within while her stomach churned. At the very moment she heard the door click and close.

Maan stood at the door, he had no clue as to what to do now, how to escape the situation but then he had to speak geet, slowly he closed the door, he saw geet getting startled. What he saw in front of him was a room decorated tastefully, "must be daadima's idea! I told her not o make it awkward but she has none of it, god! How will I ever face geet, what must she be thinking, that it is all my idea. But no I have to do it I have to speak to geet, I cant run away." Maan thought. He could feel dops of perspiration on his head, "god this seems tougher than any board meeting, or handling a cranky client". In slow steady and small strides he made his way to his destination the bed. It was guarded all the way with a curtain of white tube roses and there he saw geet sitting in the middle hugging her knees. The dim lights, the smll of the flowers, the moonlight that sneaked into the room , it all added to geet's beauty,her face was partially hidden by her ghoonghat yet she looked so pristine, so pure so beautiful. Maan couldn't take his eyes off her, as if he had been dazzled and seemed dumfounded by the mesmerizing beauty that was in front of him. He couldn't help but whisper "beautiful". He stood there staring and lost in the innocence and beauty of geet. But then a sudden movement of geet made him snap out of reverie. "what the hell is wrong with me, since th wedding It's been happening, no I could i? get a grip on yourself maan, it's geet, remember you had to talk to her" he mentally scolded himself. He slowly inched towards the bed and sat by geet's side.

The bed sank and geet knew that maan was a mere few inches away from where she sat, she could feel his breath. She had sensed maan in the room, standing by the bed, she had seen him staring at her, she had peeped from the side and she was maan standing by the bed looking as handsome as ever, her sherwani plunged at the neck giving a subtle but clear view of his bronze colour chest. She gulped at what she was witnessing. "wow!" Her mind echoed but thn what was she doing? She had no right to think the way she is thinking, because of all this today her di is not with her and because of her sinful feelings towards maan today she is here, she flinched at her own thoughts and that brought maan out of his reverie and he was by her side.

Maan looked into geet's face, he lifted the viel and saw geet close her eyes, she was shivering, he felt bad, he had never imagined his angel to be afraid of him, "geet"maan began in his baritone voice, " geet I know what you are going through, there are innumerable emotions running within, too many questions to be answered, I know it's tough for both of us. I felt your nervousness, I felt you go cold during the ceremony, I sensed your fear, fear of what now? I know that must be the question lingering in your mind, you can trust me geet,I am still your best friend maan, and that's what I want from you in return, in the last two years a lot has happened, we have suffered a great deal and then the condition put forward by your sister'. Forget it, let's not talk about that, I want to assure you is I'll never take undue advantage of you, I'll never betray you, I'll never desert you, I'll always be there for you as your best friend like always. I don't want you feel awkward around me, I want you to treat me the same way like you did always. I wanted to speak to you before our wedding, but never got a chance, geet please don't be ashamed, because it makes me guilty. I want you to be happy,smiling,laughing just like those old days and I want you to ive your life so please geet don't fear me. I had promised your sister that I that is all I have to say."

With that maan turned to take a pillow from the bed, geet held his hand, "maan I always looked up to you, you were always my role model, my friend philosopher guide, I always respected you, but today the respect I have for you have grown tenfold, I was so bothered to know about your feelings about what you think about this relation, and whether I would lose my best friend forever because of the marriage, I was so anxious, yes I had fear, fear of losing you as a friend but maan now I feel better when I know my friend is around. I trust you maan and I always have. I know you'll never take undue advantage of me, and that you'll honor our relationship, so we can share this bed together, as there is lots of space for the both of us here, there's no need for you to go sleep elsewhere." "but geet" maan objected, "shhh" geet brought her hand up to close his mouth, "maan please we know that we two are friends, we trust each other, there's faith and that is enough for me and don't worry I'll not tell anyone that you snore when you sleep." With that she giggled and started laughing, maan now looked lovingly at her, seeing her smile was like a welcome break, all the while he had seen her face in distress, there were lines of worry and tears were always there to keep her company, it was after ags that she had smiled, laughed and she looked so cute.

Maan hit her with his pillow to that geet pouted and they both broke into fits of laughter.

They both settled on the bed, maan had put a pillow in between, geet had objected first but then she understood. They slept on either side of each other and chatted their hearts out, they had a lot of catching up to do, it felt as if the friends had united after a long tough exile. They talked until they were tired and dozed off.

A little past midnight maan felt something tickling his face, and then he felt weight on his body, he opened his eyes, only to see hat geet had turned in her sleep and she now lay snuggled close to his body, her one hand was on his chest while her leg was entangled with his while her serene face remain inches away from his face and her long tresses fanned his face. She looked adorable while sleeping just like a baby. Maan tried disentangling himself from her but then it made her move and brought her closer to her. He could now smell he soft sweet fragrance coming form her body. She smelt of lillies. He looked at her and was yet again lost in her beauty. Her soft pink lips parted while she breathed. It tingled his senses, as if on cue, he removed strand of hair on her fac that had been disturbing her. "she looke so serene" maan thought. He kept on staring at her. It had stirred some unknown emotions within him and he lay their admiring his sleeping beauty. He never got to know when slep came and engulfed him and he hid his face in the crook of her neck, hugging each other and slept peaceful. Such peacful sleep had evaded the both of them for ages. They had miseed each other and they slept looking forward to a new morning.
