After few moment of silence in which geet's mother was observing duo, she said in stern voice-"So, you two knew each other ?"
"We are just friend mom."- Geet said quickly in defence of themshelf.
"When did I said that you two are lovers? I just asked whether you knew each other or not."
Geet just bite her tounge and again cursed herself for her stupidity.
"Now that you have said that you two are just friends. I am little curious to know reason why you both hide this?"
Maan was nervous but decided to speak himself before geet did any mistake -"Mom" -he had just said this when geet stomped his foot hard, Swallowing the pain he again said-"I mean Aunty , it's not, what you are thinking"
"Oh okay, So ,you two are not friends , right?"-Geet's mother said still in strict tone.
"No aunty, i mean yes aunty,I mean to say no aunty"
Geet's mother forwarded glass of water -"First clear your own confusion then answer with clear mind."
Maan drank one by one three glass of water then summoning all courage said with full speed and in single breath-"We are in same college so we meet frequently and know each other very well from first year of college. Initially we were just friend then slowly we became best friend and now I am her lover and she is best friend of mine. And telling the truth we don't know how to introduce myself to you as my relation with geet for now is nor of lover neither it is of best friend completely. For that she had to accept or reject my proposal which she had not done yet "
Releasing his breath with sound of relaxation , he looked at the two faces in front. Geet was shocked beyond words , first at Maan speed of speech and later due to revealation of their relation in front of her mom. Geet's mother also looked at him with desbelif. He had confessed everything about them and that too without fumbling or stopping.
Watching eyes of both lady still on him he got more nervous and looked around to find all eyes in cafe was on him then only he realised he had said it quite loud and now he had sudden urge to drink more water.
"You know what,I would not have run away even if you would have said this slowly"-Geet's mom said finally breaking the silence of cafe and further embarassing Maan.Turning toward geet-"Geet, whatever he said is it true?"
Geet nodded in affirmation and was impatiently waiting for her reaction.
"I am very upset geet by your behaviour. I have not expected this from you"-Hearing her mom words tear were just ready to spill from her eyes. This was what she was fearing and that's why she did not accepted his proposal. Her mother continued-"You love him still you had not accepted his proposal and kept him in wait."-Her eyes which were downcasted till now looked up instantly. Her mother added more to it-"He is such a cute boy. I will be more than happy if i get son-in-law like him."-her mother said winking at her . She had always known her mother as strict mom. But today she got to see her mother's soft heart that too on her life most important decision.
Tears still spilled from geet's eyes but these tears were tears of happiness . She hugged her mother standing from chair and said-"Love you, Love you a lot mom"
"Save your few love you for him too"-Geet's face turned red hearing her mother comment.
