Milestone SS on Maan's Memory Loss Track Epilogue/Pg 85 Dt 18/03/'15 - Page 12

My heart went out for Geet seeing her settled on the tiny cot cuddling up a doll in her embrace.

A doll with a doll! I rued.

Her eyes brimming with tears probably she was remembering all those moments which are sadly erased from my life. The scene stirred something deep in me! An unknown feeling of protectiveness surged within me. I just wanted to grab her in my arms and comfort her but refrained as I could see her eyes getting droopy she would sleep any moment and right now that would be the best for her!

I walked around the store room in the dim light of my mobile scanning the things here, this portion consists of all the memories related to our baby! Its tiny cot, a cute little wardrobe, toys, paintings, cradle, tricycle and much more. We had probably created a whole new world for our angel!

Nakul had mentioned that I had stayed up all night and personally painted the whole room and also arranged all the things surprising Geet. But fate had also ensured that I was also that one person who had been responsible to shift all these things from our baby's room to this store room!

If it agonizes me so much now when I don't even remember those moments, I can't even comprehend how painful it would have been then for both Geet and me!

I peered at her face, she was asleep but wasn't relaxed. She was constantly tossing and turning like missing something, seeking something... Not able to stop myself anymore I walked up to the cot and sat beside her caressing her head lovingly and instant was her response she grabbed my hand placing it near her heart. Holding both, the doll and my hand close to her she eased a bit.

Her reaction like an answer to my question as to what she was searching for?... Me, My presence!

I could sense her discomfort in the tiny bed, so lifting her up in my arms I headed back to her room. She snuggled close to me resting her head on my shoulder like this was her usual and rightful place, her breath falling on my chest like evoking thousands of sensations in me. Having her so close to me, her innocent touches like setting me on fire.

This was all so new for me! These feelings which I couldn't name but felt so right! I had always maintained a safe distance from women since... but Geet!

How did she manage to break the barriers around me... How did she manage to make me, Maan Singh Khurana fall for her... How did she breathe a new life in my otherwise lifeless heart! Each revelation like introducing me to a whole new Maan! The Maan whom I had myself buried in deep somewhere but probably Geet had found him and rescued him out!

I walked up to her bed and carefully laid her down but she was again restless and sniffing in her slumber. And now exactly knowing what she craved for I slipped beside her, lending her the comfort of my arms. She had turned to her side, her back resting on my chest but still she held my closely like fearing I would disappear any moment. I felt so guilty witnessing the extent of her insecurity! Moving in closer and resting my head in crook of her neck, plastering her to me like assuring her of my presence I closed my eyes.

I felt relaxed in her embrace! Instead of me giving her comfort it was like Geet easing out all my restlessness, healing all my pain and after so many troubled nights today I felt at peace by just being in her arms.

A feeling that this is home to me and this is where I truly belong!
