Sorry I couldn't update on your due to exams.
Note: I made a mistake on last part as Shru di puts it I had gone bonkers cz of exams. When Dadimaa said she didn't expected grandchildren it was intended to be anymore grandchildren, of course Jia is there. I have amended it in last update. Don't get confused okay. And, yeah do tell me if I make a mistake again because I am prone to doing so a lot.
Jia had been persistent that she didn't want to take bath so Maan had only one option left, go swimming with her.
They had a big swimming pool at the back of the mansion. And as both father-daughter played in there, Geet watched them. She was in the gardens, taking another stroll when she had caught the scene. Her eyes had initially wandered to the almost bare body of Maan. Only in swimming shorts he looked good to be a god, even better than collage days. He surely had vigorous workout. He was more muscular now, his abs n biceps more defined.
She immediately chided herself and diverted her attention towards Jia who was right now perched over her father's shoulders, horizontally, giggling while he threatened to throw her in water. They were made for each other. Both were inseparable. Geet had no idea that Maan could get attached to a child to this extent and why wouldn't he? She was his daughter, his blood n flesh. Of course he loved her to no limits n Jia reciprocated that love just as immensely.
Where does she fit in?
She couldn't help falling into the same pit again n again. Thinking the same thoughts so much that she felt like sinking deeper n deeper into darkness, it had no base, no end. She would never reach the ground. Always floating in misery n self-pity, she was a curse to herself. She wished she could go back, far back. When she still was just a baby, when she didn't know about feelings and when she didn't love anyone. Because love hurts so strongly that the person could never recover from the ache. Physical wounds heal but the pain of love remains embedded in your mind and soul, you can never erase it. She wished she hadn't loved anyone. Her parents, Meera, Maan. They weren't for her, they left or she had to leave them.
In next moment, she wanted to hurt herself so that she could forget this overwhelming agony. It was crushing her so badly that if she didn't feel anything else she would drown to never come back. What had triggered this line of thoughts again? Maan n Jia. But it wasn't their fault, it was hers. Her wretched condition was because she was pathetic and weak. Wiping the tears she turned on her heels to go her room and find something that would increase her pain at same time would decrease the other-inner-one.
Her plans failed because just when she entered her room, Rohan came in. He had made a routine of coming into her room every day. Breathe Geet. She told herself n took a calming breath in. Just a little more time then you would be alone.
Rohan could tell right away that she wasn't pleased by his visit. She didn't even bother to fake it anymore by throwing a pleasant smile his way. Hey ya Geet. Wassup? He asked flopping onto her bed n pulling her to sit beside him.
Nothing. Just came back from garden. She said lowering her eyes. Something was bothering her again, he knew. It wasn't hard to tell. Something just needed to get in there into her brain n then she would mull over it all day n night like an insane.
You should have called me. He said. She hardly spoke to him after her hospitalization; her mouth seemed to have zipped up more like that was even possible. He would tell her whatever came to his mind n she would just listen sometimes zoning out, looking somewhere else, her eyes unblinkingly staring at something absently. It was almost scary, the extent to which she could cut herself from the outer world. Her behavior hardly discouraged him. Let her remain mum for all he cared, he had learned to read her, she was an open book. She knotted her dubatta when she didn't want to reveal something, fumbled when she was nervous, cleared her throat to suppress a yawn, induced by his never ending-boring to her-talks and smiled weirdly when he caught her zoning out again. It wouldn't be wrong to say he had developed a soft corner for her in his heart. She was so endearing, it was out of his ability to not like her.
I-I forgot. There was that fumbling again.
And what were you going to do after coming back. She stared defiantly at him knotting her dubatta. Mai wo' nothing.
Something was wrong. Geet tum mujhe kuch bhi bata sakti ho, I won't judge you. That was enough to get her guards down just for a moment. Tears fell from her eyes before she could control, now he had seen her crying again. She was sure he thought her to be a drama queen, always wailing n needing for help. I am sorry. She said wiping her tears.
It is not important to ask for forgiveness every time especially when it's not your fault.
I don't want to live anymore. She said feeling so worn out. She had seen the change in Maan after the gun shot. He looked after her, took care of all her needs. Yet she knew it wasn't because he cared. Sometimes he would stare at her with those eyes that would scream pity. He pitied her. She didn't want that. How to explain that she was able to take care of herself, that she wasn't a charity case or burden.
Rohan sighed for some reason he wasn't surprised by her announcement. She already lived every moment like a weight over her shoulder. Each second was a pain to her. She didn't enjoyed, didn't laughed, none of her breaths were free, all were trapped n unwilling. It was clear through her reports; he had still to hand them to Maan. Maan had been much stressed lately, scared, to be more precise. So Rohan had thought to give him time. And, the right time had come. He decided to give the reports to Maan once they came back from the farm house. Before that, Maan n Geet, both deserved some good time.
He wiped her tears. Geet life sucks perhaps more for you than others. But I am afraid wishing for your life to end would just make it a harder walk. I know from personal experience that your present or past never establishes your future. It's always totally different, something which you can never expect. What you don't expect?
Happiness. Came out of her mouth without a thought.
See. That's what in store for you. He grinned and she gulped the lump in her throat smiling from behind the tears.
They heard footsteps. I think your fool is coming. Bring him down. I have a surprise for you both. He winked and stood up.
What are you doing here? Maan asked obviously J. What you can't? With that he walked down leaving Maan to wonder what Rohan meant.
Geet' he sneezed before continuing the statement the result for staying in pool for hours. Why was he here?
He came to call us down. She glanced at him wishing to have the liberty to wipe his wet hair with a towel. He was fully dressed but his hairs were still wet, that would intensify the cold. Its lunch time we should leave. She stood up from her bed to go downstairs but he held her hand. She looked at him confused n he wanted to say so much, wrap her in his arms n kiss her breathless but the thought of scaring her again stopped him. The commissioner says the guard of the building from where the bullet was fired had seen the shooter's face. He ran away but police have a sketch of him. They are sure it's a local gang. The gun used n style of assassination was theirs. They would catch him soon.
Hmm. Geet said blandly. It didn't matter if they caught him or not. Perhaps if he had killed her then she would have surely needed him to give her thanks.
Khurana family was having lunch n everyone was there Rohan had made sure of it.
Your birthday is next month. Maan pointed out like Dadimaa.
Thanks for remembering Maan. I knew you loved me. Rohan smirked at Maan's appalled face. But it's a surprise party. Everyone would be expecting it if I threw a bash on my bday. Don't you think?
Why are you throwing bash for your own bday? Aren't there people like me who love you enough to give you a surprise party? It was Maan's chance to smirk.
Idiot! You would thank me for this later. Rohan was pissed but he didn't drop the smile from his face. No one can hold a party that is up to my standard apart from me. And tujhe kya problem hai yaar tu enjoy kar na chup chap.
The problem is that it is not your birthday.
Dadimaa n Rohan rolled their eyes. It is. Rohan blasted. It is according to hindi calendar.
Annie giggled. Mai chalungi. Annie agreed enthusiastically.
Mai chalungi. Rohan mimicked her. You are not coming. Why? Annie whined. Because you have exams coming n you will take care of Dadimaa n Jia here.
Par?
And that best friend of your, you have to help her na?
Best friend? Help?
Yes, that Arohi. Rohan said putting extra emphasis on 'Ar' and after initially being confused she understood what he was indicating at. Haye, she had not met Arjun in last few days at all, she was needed at home n Arjun wasn't allowed in mansion but with Maan gone' hehe, she was already day dreaming.
Who Arohi?
Shut up Maan you are not being talked to here. Rohan scolded n Maan glared. Geet you pack your bags. We are leaving tomorrow.
What? Geet stilled. She was feeding Jia n was caught off guard. I don't like parties.
Maan had never imagined he would someday hear that from Geet. She was an absolute party animal. Now he wanted to take her. To make her feel good n show her that world was just the same as it was 6 years ago. May be he would get to see the glimpse of old Geet.
No way. Don't you care for your brother in law even a tad-bit? I promise you would enjoy Shanaya is also coming so you won't feel out of place. Yes she was coming. She had come to see Geet after she was discharged from the hospital n after that he had stolen her number from Geet's cell without her knowledge, contacted her n they had gone on a date. He was totally latto on her. The way she walked n talked, made faces. She had a bit of attitude problem but her innocence rather say naive dumbness made her adorable.
Rohan could handle Maan, for Geet he needed a girl. Shanaya had readily agreed to come. He had faked hurt that she wasn't coming for him but he was actually happy that she was helping.
Geet didn't want to hurt him but she really didn't like crowd n party? She felt suffocated in there. We both will come. Maan said n saw Geet dumbfounded.
Yes Daddy you should go, Jia will take care of Nan n Annie. Why baby? You are also coming. Nuh-uh Daddy. She shook her finger sucking her upper lip. I'll stay at mansion I have many works. Maan was incredulous that Jia was denying coming with him. Rohan showed Jia thumbs up n she winked with both eyes-already bribed-not able to wink the right way but she was practicing.
When we have to leave?
Tomorrow afternoon.
Shanaya I can't wear this. Geet said nervous just by looking at the silky orange saree with glittery border n shimmering same color blouse with thin steps she felt jittery. It was too suggestive, too scandalous for her liking.
You can. She said planting her hands on her hips. If it makes you feel any better, this is my dress. Shanaya picked up her small dress innocently hanging in her hands. Now go and change.
Geet fought but it didn't have any effect on Shanaya. They had left the mansion in afternoon. The drive to the farmhouse was 1 and a half hours. The farm house was at the edge of city n the estate expanded to miles. There were small quarters n also a pond with ducks. Apparently there was a stable too with horses. Rohan was fond of them they were picturesque n he loved to capture their beauty in his lenses. He had told while the drive to the farm house. When they had reached the place she had found herself snoozing over Maan shoulder. It was embarrassing but thankfully Maan didn't blast on her in fact smiled, his lips turning up in a tender curve.
You look great. Now the makeup. Shanaya pushed Geet down onto the chair in front of the mirror. Shanaya was good at these things Geet knew but she wasn't so sure about herself. She was already not comfortable with the idea of party n this saree was adding to her fear for the upcoming evening. She couldn't help but imagine how Maan would react. Last time he had liked it. Did he really or was she just imagining or was he faking? Though this time because of Maan she felt flutters in her stomach.
She remembered the talk with Rohan.
Happiness was in store for her. Really?
Geet n Shanaya walked to the venue of the party. It was a huge open concrete shed in the garden resting on numerous pillars, the floor was marble. The whole place was decorated with fairy lights n white curtains, it looked amazing. The sun had set n the sky was getting cloudy.
Rohan whistled fanning himself when he saw Shanaya.
You look hot.
She gave him a look over.
He was looking damn handsome but she wasn't going to admit that to him. Oh! Wish I could say the same to you. Shanaya replied with attitude. Rohan slipped his hand over her waist n she found herself glued to his hard chest. His breath touched her ears. But you haven't checked my temperature yet. His hand slid up her back, caressing the exposed skin n she felt weak on her knees. Hastily, she pushed him away coming out of his grasp.
I love rain. Shanaya spoke randomly looking out at the sky. What's so special about it? Rohan asked.
That's such foolish thing to ask. Rain is romantic. People realize the call of their insides when it rains, hearts meet. Her eyes were dreamy n Rohan stared into them. Hearts meet, huh?
Yes, I am sure two hearts will meet today for sure. She said looking towards Maan n Geet who were standing standstill inches apart from each other.
Ooo next is the 100th part n I am damn excited for it. As suggested by Deepthi I have planned to make it special and that I am going to do in form of a twist and some revelations. If there would be fast likes n comments I will also update fast so pull your belts tighter, hehe😆😆😆
