Part 20
Maan was startled the way Geet hugged him...but he could feel the way she was frightened. Even when there was no light her face was predictable...Maan and Geet stayed in that position till the light came...Maan didn't ask any thing. It was as if their silence was speaking...After the light came Maan called his home that he would not be returning home today as there is some work in the office. He could not tell the exact thing to his family and he himself did not know the entire thing...
M: Mom...actually I called home because I won't be able to come home tonight.
MM: Why Maan... What happened??
M: Actually Mom I have to prepare blueprints for a project whose meeting is tommrow...by the time I will finish the blue prints. It will be quite late and then I will sleep in the office itself...Is that okay??
MM: Okay Maan take care of your-self...and do take rest...
M: Ok Mom bye...
Geet just sitting at the couch in the living room when Maan was talking to his mother...
As soon Maan finished his call.
M: Geet I am here you don't need to worry...
G...
M: You go to your room and sleep... I will sleep on the couch here itself...
Geet just leaned on the couch itself...and close her eyes...and just said..
G: Please don't go...sleep on the sofa...please...
It was as if a five year old kid was pleading him and Maan couldn't deny her seeing her situation...Maan came closer...sat on the couch and put her head in his lap...and caress her head...until she slept...Here Maan started to think...and finally slept...in the process that he will ask her tomorrow...
Next day:
Maan woke up a little early hearing the chirping of the birds and when the sunlight entered the large windows lightening the whole mansion. When Maan's eyes opened he saw Geet head was still on his lap and her hands were around his one arm and his other arm was on her head. As he was watching the sweet serene baby sleeping he felt a frown on her forehead. It was though she was remembering the bitter incident that took place. He raised his hand and softly caressed her forehead. Soon it went away and he could see a smile on her lips. Now Maan was curious as to what she was dreaming...Later he decided to ask her after she wakes up. He carefully picked her head and by softly releasing her hands from his arm got up and replaced a cushion so that she could sleep for a little more time. Here Maan caught hold of a sheet so that Geet could be covered...he tucked her in it and decided to roam around in order to find the kitchen.
He started moving to the corridor. The corridor in the mansion had two red rugs with a little distance. At one corner of the corridor was a huge vase, golden and bronze in color. On the other corner was lamp of copper color which was giving a very elegant feeling. On one of the walls of the corridor was an abstract painting, painted with bright colors. It was as if the painter had displayed the different colors of happiness. But right opposite that wall a painting there was the same painting with very dull colors...completely off-the track strokes. Since Maan had a passion for collecting paintings Maan really liked with those of bright colors...But thought that the painter has tried to convey some messages to the people by painting the two paintings in similar manner and also by the way they were put opposite each other. He came closer to the painting as if analyzing every detail of it... and more precisely finding the name of the painters that he can also buy them because this one painting created a strong liking for the personality that that person holds. Here he noticed that the abstract painting consisted of lines that took the image of the face. The painting with the bright colors consisted of a happy pleased face and the other consisted of a very depressed face. At the down right corner of the painting there were two letters AH'. He thought that he will Google the name of the person and finally find out that who is this person.
Similarly the wall also consisted of shelves which had very beautiful candle stands.
At the end of the wall there was a door which when he opened was a kitchen. The kitchen was a big place with everything placed accordingly...very neat and clean, with a wooden dining table at one corner with a very stylish plate which consisted of fresh fruits and right in the middle of the table there was a candle stand.
Here Maan since he was very hungry decided to cook something as he also did not have his dinner last night.
He started opening the cabinets and got hold of the relative things. He started make tea as he couldn't find coffee. And also put water for boiling pasta as he found the things from which he could only make pasta. Also he didn't know a lot of cooking except for making breakfast or some snacks. He also took out milk from the fridge in order to warm it because he thought that Geet's head may feel a little heavy due to all the crying and milk with a little of turmeric will also help heal her bruises. There he was waiting for the water to boil he heard a humming sound. He decided to look that who is humming a song and that too early in the morning and when no one in the house except for Geet and Him. He went back to the TV lounge thinking that may be Geet is awake but there she was sleeping as if nothing happened and also he couldn't hear the sound anymore. He thought that it was just a hallocation therefore he moved back to the kitchen to complete the task that he had left incomplete. Again he started hearing that sound. He lowered the flame of the oven and decided to search that where this sound is coming. There was another door in the kitchen which opened towards the backyard garden. He opened that door and found a very beautiful garden with colorful flowers planted on the edges. There was a pathway along the kitchen door and sitting arrangement. He moved towards the sitting area and here the sound became more shrill and squeaky but Maan was able to make out the words that were in the air.
As soon as he came to the edge of the sitting area he saw a golden cage which had an African Macaw. And the Macaw was humming the following lines:
You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, you're my Sweetie Pie
You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop
Snoogums-Boogums, You're the Apple of my Eye
And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'll always be right here
And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear
Maan was shocked to see a talking parrot. He had never seen one in his entire long life. Maan out of amasement...
M: You can actually sing???
P: Gata rahe mera dil...Tu he meri Manzil!!
M: Ohh My God!
