Flashback---
Maan finally able to came out of his room near past noon.His head was still pounding in result of his over consumtion of alcohol.When the servant encountered him standing in living room,holding his head:sahb tbyt khrab hai?doctor ko bulaun?
Maan shook his head in no:bs mere room men coffee ley aao.
His steps stopped in way getting information:wo dulhan madam k dad aaey the.
Maan looked him in shock:wo chli gai?
Ofcourse what could be expect after their last night encounter.The final paper work of Khurrana& Handa partnership was still pending and now he was sure hearing his daughter complain dy will be pending forever.So he ruined his future with his own hands.He was wrong,his proud to having da ability to do anthing,to face anything,to bear anything was clearly wrong.He cant play a fake husband in love.
The servant reply made him stunned:nhi,dulhan madam to kahin nhi gai.ooper room men hai.
He added in confusion:apne dad se bhi darwaze par milli,unko bhethne ko bhi nhi kaha.
Their last night encounter,her words replayed in his mind.How much he buried it beneath his arrogancy..he was ashamed.To sexually harass her was not at all his intention of taking revenge from their force marriage.To clear his guilt & confusion he finally decided:aap ooper do cup coffee le aayn.
The servant quickly left wid hope & happiness spread on his face.
Maan slowly opened da door of his master bedroom expecting a crying Geet hugging her pillow in a massive bed.
But he was surprised.Well the condotion of her & room was not at all what he had expected.Everything was neatly on its place & Geet wa sitting near window,instead of pillow her face buried in thick book.And than he suddenly remembered his wife is in first year of her medical college.
Geet eyes lift to him & for a moment he felt a jerk in her book.But her perfect sitting posture was not at all disturbed.
He walked inside & felt suddenly stupid on lost of words.
He took the other chair as servant came wid two cup of coffees & kept it on table near her thick books.
When the servant went Maan handed her cup but she politely refused:men 4 bje k baad coffee nhi peeti.
"coffee ka timing se kya taluq?"But he kept his question to himself.He finally tried to start da real conversion:tumhare dad aaey the?
Geet book was still in her hand:haan.mene call ki thi.
She surprised him even more by her next words:Books k lye..wo khud dene aagaey.
Rubbing his temple on her "Not wo wala" reaction he spoke:mere papa k buht khwab the unki new factory men,men use khona nhi chahta tha.
Geet turned page of her book wid her delicate finger & looked up:wo land aur plant buht precious hein mere dad bhi khonna nhi chahtey they.
She was putting him & her dad in same category-using her per their needs.Suddenly he too felt like a criminal.Annoyed by da realization he spoke:men majboor tha..mujhe laga tha tum chli jaogi.mujhe engagement ki night bhi lga tha tum engagement tod k apne dad ko convence krlogi.tumne nhi kya...mujhe lga tha tumhara zid aur ghmand hai men soch bhi nhi skta tha tum bhi majboor hogi.
He didnt gt any answer from her.Maybe she was not in mood to open her relation status wid her dad or sharing story of her painful love.Maan took his cup & got up:kal raat ko jo bhi hua..I am realy sorry.Wo dubara kbhi nhi hoga.men..
She stopped his explanation with her announcement:men dad ko kuch nhi bolungi.Shadi krna tumhari majboori thi,nibhana nhi.You are free.tum apni life men jo chahey kro.par no.drink aur no gambling.Naa to men widow hona chahti hun,aur naa hi criminal ki wife.
In any other situation hearing these words from a wife can break a husband heart.But after so many days he felt Happy.Maan:aur tum?
Geet gaze hold promise:men kuch bhi krskti hun..depend on my time.expect adultry.
A deal was sealed.
Flashback end---
Natasha kept her hand on his to gain his attention:tum sun rahe ho naa?
Maan shook his head:haan ofcourse.
Waiter came for taking order.Natasha:kya order krun?
Maan politely:jo tumhara dil krey.
Natasha gave order when da waiter left she continued to talk:pta nhi mera boutiqe chley naa chley.
Maan:u r talented..it will work.
Natasha thoughtfully:soch rhi hun Shop finall krney se pehley dii k pass Delhi ho aaun.wo keh rhi hai yahan k malls dekho,Delhi men buisness zyada hai.
Maan:haan she is right.Delhi is big city.Give it a try.
Natasha didnt like his answer at all,taunted:Delhi men boutique?tum chahte ho men Shimla se chli jaun.
Waiter appered wid drinks,as Natasha picked her cell in abrupt motion waiter couldnt balance da glass & d drink spoiled her lovely dress.Natasha yelled:You idiot.tumhe job pr rkha kis ne hai?
To her surprise instead of scolding da waiter Maan angrily warned her:Quite Natasha.
She snapped at him:isne meri dress khrab krdi aur men complain bhi naa krun?
Maan snapped:tumhari dress wash ho kr thek hoskti hai,pr agr iski job chli gai to wapis nhi aeygi.
Natasha in a harsh whisper:yaad hai jb college ki canteen men tumhare sath aeaa hua tha to tumne kya kya tha?tum kitne ajeeb ho gaey ho Maan.
She left to washroom while da waiter wid teary eyes looked him thankfully & vanished from there.
Natasha worda rang in his mind.Event of his wild carefree youth passed from his eyes.Yes her words were truth but not all"men ajeeb nhi hogya hun..ajeeb tha"
A clear image from past ran in his mind"Geet: hum sb men fadk kya hai?hum sb apne peyt k,apni khwahisho k naukar hein.fadk sirf ye hai koi peon bn k kma raha hai,koi seat pr bheyt kr.gulami to hum sb krte hein!"
Flashback---
"Maan Maan" Her soft voice knocked mercilessly on his deep sleep"Maan please utho"He opened his eyes & met wid only darkness.With a groan:I am not ullu.mujhe andhere men nazar nhi aata.
They had ben married since 3 months.And after seting rules of their married life their civil relationship was bloming in healthy friendship.
He lay straight in his back:kya hua?tum is time yahan?Light to on krdya kro.mujhe andhere men nazar nhi aata.
Geet:baarish ki vja se power cut hai.neeche chlo mere sath.
Maan in horror:kyun?neeche koi hai?
Geet:haan.
He sat up & took out tourch from his side table:koi hmare ghar men.ghuss aaya hai?
Geet shook her head in yes.Maan in worry stood up:kaka servant prtion men hai?
Geet nodded in yes.He picked his cell:shit..network bhi nhi hai.
Purvi & Shefali was well settled in Australia hostel.The two alone live wid two seravant in Maan small house.Sudheer had insisted them to live in his grand house.Maan refused,not at all ready to jhelofy his father-in-law 24 hours of his life.And to his surprise Geet too refused da offer"After her marriage its improper for her to live there"
Geet followed him as he slowly step out of his room:kahan hai?
Geet:neeche.
Maan:tum room lock kr k bheto,men dekhta hun.
Geet:kyun?men bhi aaungi.
Maan handed her torch & picked an heavy arrow from nearby statue.As they came to downstairs,he heared a scrrech:Geet..ye awaz kitchen ki side se aa rhi hai?
Geet:haan kitchen sey.
Maan worriedly:kitne hein?
Geet:ek
As they went to kitchen to Maan horror she walked inside:Are u crazy?peeche aao.
Picking matcstick Geet lit da candle which she got from Maan room.As da golden light spread around da strange voice increased.He quickly moved forward to protect her from behind his back.And than his eyes settled on a small puppy curled in corner.His jaw dropped & so da hand in which he was holding arrow.In disbelief:ye kutta hai.
Geet corrected him:nhi..puppy hai.
She slipped out from behind him & went near da injured puppy.Maan ran hand in his hairs,feeling stupid:lo ye tha aur men smjha..kaka k jate hue darwaza khula reh gya hoga.
Geet:nhi..isko to darwaza mene khola hai.
She added:ye ro raha tha.
Maan looked her in disbelief & quikly dropped da arrow on nearby table:tumhe pta tha?tumne mujhe is puppy k lye jgaya?
She nodded in yes & looked for aidbox.He complained:aur mujhe lga k chor hai.tumne mujhe btana to tha k men galt smjh raha hun
Geet:mujhe kese pta k tum kya smjh rahe ho?
Maan:acha?mere hath men weapon dekh kr bhi smjh nhi aaya?
Geet:kya?mujhe lga tumhara dil kr raha hai.
Maan open his mouth & dn close it:tum bchpan se aesi ho?ye kisi allien se mulaqat hui hai life men.
Geet handed him da required bandage from aidbox:ye lgao.
Maan cursed under his breath & went near puppy:neend se to tumne mujhe aesa jgaya jese hmare darwaze pr injured PM aa gya ho.
Geet words surprise him:chot ka dard to sb ko hota hai chahe PM ho ya puppy.
She sat near him as da puppy was scaring from his touch:pyar se kro.English hindi matter nhi krti..bs pyar dikhao.janwaro ko pyar smjh aata hai.
His wife mind is like computer,her spine is made of iron & her manners-like she must had some connection with Queen Elizabeth.But in all these passing days he also recognized her golden heart.A pure innocence which he couldnt stop himself to admire.
Maan softly creased it & extended its injured leg.He applied oientment on it,while teasing her:jahan tk mera khyal hai..doctor tum bnne wali ho.ye tumhara kaam hai.
Geet looked at her clasped hands:mujhe blood se allergy hai.
Maan mockingly:wow great..doctor ko blood se allergy?blood "improper" lgta hai to kya zrurt hai phir medical padhne ki.Madam kya patients ko marne ka irada hai?
Geet:men nhi chahti..dad chahte hein.Blood improper nhi lgta..bs acha nhi lgta.Jb mom ki body aai thi naa to puri blood men drenched thi.islye brdasht nhi hota..buht koshish kr rhi hun time sath k sath ye drr khtm ho jaeyga.
Maan heart wrenched in pain 6 years Geet witnessng her mom death,which happened in a car accident.
Maan:to chod do studies..why are u torturing urself.men tumhare dad se bat krunga.
Geet quickly:nhi..wo aesa chahta hein.
Maan nxt words stopped in his mouth as da puppy started licking his hand.Maan lips cureld in eww as he stared it horribly.But his thoughts divert & da scol replaced by hearty smile as Geet musical laughter echoed around.And than they laugh together.
.
.
.
Maan almost ran in Handa house.The grief of Sudheer death echoing in silence air of house.He was in America for a buisness deal when he got news of his death & couldnt able to reach at time of funeral due to weather & flight issue.Dropping his bag he walked inside & found Geet alone sitting on coach near window.Her surprise was clearly visible on her face:Maan tum aaey?
Her words were not a typical welcome sentance he could sense her doubt beneath it.What she thought?As he got da 50% athourity on buisness after Sudheer death..he will leave her alone in dis difficult time to suffer?He walked closer,her face was dry but her eyes seemed heavy:tumhe bhook lgi hogi?servants so gaey,raat buht ho rhi hai naa.men khana garm kr deti hun.
Maan sat near her.He never understand da distant relation of father daughter but he always felt some longing in Sudheer eyes.They were almost married more than a year.Instead of her composure he could feel her shattering state.He softly whispered:tumhare dad..
Geet lost in deep thoughts:heart attack hua hai.2 saal se unhe dil ki tkleef thi.aur mujhe pta hi nhi tha.unhune btaya hi nhi.hum zyada batein bhi to nhi krte jo ek dusre ko kuch btatey.
Maan didnt interrpted but stared her worriedly.Geet added in her normal polite way:bchpan se hi aesa hai..jb wo mom pr chilate the naa to mujhe dr lgta tha.men islye dour rehti thi.
She looked at him,like explaining some project:mom unhe pasand nhi thi.gaun ki thi,zyada padhi hui bhi nhi thi.dadu ki zid ki vja se shadi hui thi.mom ko theek se heel men chlna bhi nhi ata tha.papa kete the wo theek se bet ti bhi nhi.Papa to best the naa.Abroad men padhe handsome bhi the.mom buht pyar krti thi mujhse pr mera dil krta papa bhi kreyn..men sb kuch acha krti thi.handwash,bethna,sona sb proper.Par papa ko phir bhi zyada acha nhi lgta tha ...beta bhi to nhi thi naa.unko beta chahey tha.bete hi to buisness smbhalte hein,naam roshan krte hein.Jb men first aai thi naa one class men..to mene unko kaha men sb kuch krungi aap k lye.
unhune ne kaha tha kuch nhi krskti..mujhe teacher ki baat yad aai.mene kaha teacher ne kaha hai men buht acha pdhti hun,men doctor bn skti hun.Phir dad ne bola kuch na krne se theek hai..doctor bn jana.
She spoke wid innocent honesty:mujhe math zyada pasand thi.par mene science pdha..buht mushkil lgta tha pr I did best.Dad ne buht mehnat se ye buisness start kya tha,buht pyar tha unhe is sey.engagemnt ki raat mene baat krni ki koshish ki thi unse.Wo tumhari factory chahte the,tumhe bhi to zrurt thi.unhe esa son-in-law chahey tha jo unka right hand bn ske.shayd health ki vja se sb manage nhi kr pa rhe the.mene kaha tha thoda aur ruk jao..MBA ladke hr saal krte hein unhne kaha tha waqt nhi hai.
Her voice dropped low as she whispered:mujhe lga mujhse zyada tang aagaey...heart ki problem hogai aur mujhe lgta tha heart hai nhi.
Maan whose eyes were filled wid tears hold her hands possesively.She looked up in his eyes.He pleaded:let it go...please ro do.
In her usuall intelligent atitude he tried to make him understand:rone se wapis nhi aaeynge.
He pulled her in arms,hiding her in his warm embarace.She yelled:wo wapis nhi aaeynge.
She brust into bitter tears;men achi beti nhi bn ski..wo mujhe chod k chley gaey.
Instead of her struggle Maan kept her cage in his embarace:tum buht achi ho..sb se achi ho.
They didnt remembered when they fall asleep in eachother arms.
Flashback end----
Instead of going to his bedroom Maan went to male drawing room.His favurite place to relax.It had billrd,theatre system & cozy coaches-a place specially designed for his & his friends entertainment.Their home was perfect.After death of Sudheer,selling both houses they constructed a home together.He still remembered their late night discussions about da planning of interior. Losing his tie he picked clay parrot from one table,a gift from Geet.
Flashback---
Maan looked up as da colourful colour clay parrot appeared infront of his eyes.He looked at Geet in surprise:Happy Birthday.
Her pink night robe was perfectly tied around her figure.He took it from her but didnt utter a word too stunned by choice of her gify.
Geet:wish to mene aur Purvi ne cake k sath krna tha.Par tum itne sad bhethe the..apne toote ko miss kr rhe ho naa?mene buht dhunda pr mujhe zinda purple shade ka toota kahi nhi milla to bnvalia.
It was carbin copy of his pet parrot which died two days ago.He creased it:milta bhi nhi,wo mere dad otti se laey they.
Geet:oh...Mujhe nhi lga tha kisi air city se hoga.men outti se pta kraungi kl.
Maan.shook his head:its lovely Geet,buht acha hai.atleast iski death nhi hogi.mujhe chod k bhi nhi jaeyga.
Geet whispered sensing sorrow & grief in his voice:dont be sad Maan.
To keep da friend in dark is cheating in friendship so he told her true reason of sadness:Rahul..mera college friend..uski call aai thi.Natasha ne shadi krli.
Geet remain quite but didnt move from there.Maan:uski bhi shadi hui hai?
Geet:kiski?
Maan:jis se tum pyar krti ho?
After a long pause she nodded in Yes.With a quick good night she was about to leave when Maan grabbed her wrist:mere sath betho gi?
Geet sat down.He wanted to divert his mind so asked:chess kheyleyn?
Geet:mujhe kheylna nhi aata.
Maan face dropped:oh
Geet:tum sikha do.
They remain awake till dawn.
Flashback end
He dropped on coach,closed his eyes holding his throbbing head.When da delicious aroma of coffee contacted with his nostrils he mumbled thamkfully:thanks kaka I realy need this.
As he opened his eyes to accept da cup his surprise had no limit on finding Geet.
With her cup in her hand she remimded him:raat k 10 bj rhe hein..servants are off to bed.
His happiness had no limit..da reason was coffee or Geet he didnt ponder much.The peach colour silk robe was wrapped around her body.Her haors tied in a neat bun with few hair strands slipping to right side of face.She still look so young but with time da girly features had shape out in womanly charm.He took da cup:I realy need dis.tumhe hmesha bger kahey sb smjh aa jata hai...islye men explain krna hi bhool gya.You have ruined me for anyone.
It was teasing but each word was honest from his heart as she turned to go he grabbed her wrist.Her wrist had same smoothness:betho gi nhi?
She sat infront of him.After a long pause she asked in worry:kyun preshan ho?
"No...he is even not ready to discuss da reason of his worry with himself" Instead he teased:kuch khaas nhi..bs ye soch raha tha tumne mujhe kitna ajeeb bna dya.Par ab preshani khtm hogi...ab tum 4 bje k baad se raat ko 10 bje coffeee peee rhi ho.Kuch mene bhi tumhe bna hi dya.
His lips stretched in smile as he noticed da twinkle in her beautiful black eyes.Sipping her coffee she asked:chess kheleyn?
Maan quickly:yes.
Instead of his jest she was sure of his unspoken worry & read to ease it from it.He watched as she set da chess board gracefully.He was sure she had no intention of sitting wid him,if she had she surely came in dressing some "proper".To her discomfort the silk material was hugging her like glove.Her effort to checking her robe gaping was only doing worst.Her long fingers wid sharp nails only pulling more attention to her swan neck & da full temptinh mounds.
Geet tried to control her yawn:game gol gol hi hoti ja rhi hai.men hmesha bch jati hun Maan,kbhi to chaal bdlo.
Maan:kbhi to chaal men aao Geet.
It was a simple suggestion but it felt so sensational in his husky voice.
She reached for her horse to move but couldnt.She blink abtuptly.Maan in worry:kya hua.
Geet:shayd aankh men kuch girr gya.
Maan stood up & sat next to her:dont rub it.
He leaned closer,move da silky strand away from her face to get clear view of her eyes.Her hairs were silky like da way he always imagined.As he tried to open her eyes she moved away.His hand grabbed her shoulder to still her movement.And yes she frozed & so he.
He could feel da smoothness of her skin,maybe da night dress had no sleeves or maybe she was not wearing any at all.
His hand didnt losened its grip but slowly moved.His thumb & fingera drunk da feel as dy traveled from her shoulder to her collarbone.When his hand met contact wid bare skin of her neck da rise & fall of her bosoms became quite visible.His hand traveles up to her chin & cupped her face.He opened her eye & took out da broken lashes wid his fingertip.He leaned more closer looking in her half open eyes & blow softly.The heat of their breath mingle send fire in his veins.
She pulled away from him:thanks.
Its realy took a moment for him to realize da reason of her thanks.He slowly nodded.Geet:subha office jana hai..good night.
Maan:haan kafi deyr hogai.
He too got up,picking his coat.In silence dy took stairs & reached to their room.Geet opened room of her door & stepped inside.She was about to close it when her eyes met wid Maan who was still standing there.
The odd desire that she extended da door & welcome him inside ran in his vains.And for a moment he felt a hesitant invitation in her eyes which soon vanished:Good Nigjht.
Maan:Good Night.
He moved to his room & closed its door.And hear deeply as she closed her room door & locked it.
Because of lenghth couldnt add da precap part.I will be in next updt.
