Chapter 4
Evening in H.K Mansion:
Maan came early from office after finishing his meeting. Dadi maa and his mothers
were out to visit some friends. On inquiring from Madhav he got to know that
Pammi was in the parlour with her daughter. Geet was inside the study room. He
went to his room and freshening up quickly, went to the study to meet his angel.
In the study room a very cute sight met his eyes. Geet was standing in fromt of a
huge canvas and applying finishing touches to a lovely painting. He quietly went
forward and put his hands on her delicate waist. Surprised geet turned around and
instantly hugged him grinning widely. Maan caressed her soft hair with his long
fingers and said, "Aaj itne dino ke baad kya paint ho raha hai?" Geet smiled and
said, "Maanu mai na dono moms aur dadi ji ke liye dresses design kar rai hoon.
Dekho aisi dresses banegi un teeno ke liye. Aur dono dady and tumare liye ye wale
tuxedo. Kaisi hai?" She showed him the completed paintings. Looking at her work
he was totally spell bound. Gosh the designs wer just awesome. Maan was aware of
Geet's talent but had seen it for the first time today. The garments were so lovely
that Geet cud easily start her own fashion house anywhere in the world that very
moment.
"Bahot achi hai mishty. Acha ab inko dry hone do phir sab ko dikhayenge." Maan
retorted happily. But geet said, "Naai manu sabko dikhayi to meri puri surprise
khatam ho jayegi. Pls inko ready hoke aane do phir sab ko gift karenge." She said
with such an adorably cute expression that maan cudn't help smiling. Hugging his
doll closely he wondered how much she loved her whole family, specially him. He
was really lucky to have the angel in his life. Maan then decided it was the time for
his surprise as well. He took a big packet and started opening it. It was wrapped in
a shiny pink wrapping paper. Geet was really happy and excited looking at the
present. She asked him, "Ye kya hai maanu?" He replied with a smile, "Shone ye
tumari gift. Dekho tumari fav pooh dress hai." He took out a dark yellow pooh
pant and red colored pooh tank top. Geet squealed happily and took it. "Mai kab
wear karu?" She asked him and he said her to wear it instantly. She went to the
dressing room and wore it. But then geet quickly returned in 5 minutes. She was
glaring agrily at maan. The poor guy cudn't understand what happened. He gulped
and asked her, "Kya hua sweety? Tum ko dress achi nai lagi?" Geet again glared at
him and said tugging the top, "Itni short wali top kyu laye tumne? Dekho meri pant
se niche nai jati hai. Pata hai na ghar mei itni short dress kisi ko pasand nai hai. Sab
muje datenge isko dekh ke. Dadi ji kya sochingi?" Geet was worried about her dadi
and parents' reaction after seeing the dress. Maan smilingly shook his head and
taking her on his lap after settling on the couch, clutched her little face lovingly and
said, "Cutie maine ye sab ke samne wear kar ne ke liye tumari dress nai kharidi. Ye
to tumare liye nightsuit hai. Ise tum sirf sote time pehnogi. Tab koi bhi nai dekhega.
Samjhi?" Geet nodded her head seriously making him laugh. She was a complete
baby. It was so easy to convince her. Maan just sat there hugging her. Her soft little
form in his embrace gave him so much peace. He wished the time would just stop and
his love should multiply more and more.
At Dinner time:
The whole family was seated for dinner around the huge 30
seater table. Pammi and kamya were lil bit away as the little space was over
crowded by all the main family members. Everyone was happily sharing the
day's events. Mohinder and shobit were relating the meeting stories and
funny incidents about the clients. Laughter was heard and the atmosphere
was really joyful. Geet was being carefully served the food items by everyone.
In turn, she was piling food on everyone's plates along with maan. In fact it
was geet who always insisted that the entire family should serve each other
instead of waiting for the staff to keep serving all the dishes. Her idea was
liked by everyone. As geet was giggling on mohinder and shobit's funny office
stories, kamya was burning in anger and jealousy. She remembered her own
father. He too was just like geet and maan's fathers. He loved his wife and
daughter very much. But fate was cruel to kamya as five years ago she lost
her dad to a heart disease. Since that day she had become irritable and also
somewhat nasty. Her father's death was something she could not overcome
nor forget it. Unable to eat any more she just rose and left the table. Pammi
sighed sadly and followed her daughter to the garden. They both felt peace
in the cool open air.
After finishing the dinner everyone completed their evening walk and
retired to their bedrooms. All were tired after the hectic day so needed some
rest. Few hours passed. Even maaneet were sleeping soundly in their room.
Suddenly geet stirred from her sleep and feeling thirsty looked around for
the water. But she saw the jug empty. She looked at maan but he was sleeping
so she didn't want to disturb him. So quietly getting out of her bed, Geet tiptoed
out of the room. She walked very silently thru the corridor and down the big
staircase. As she reached the ground floor she saw someone going inside the
kitchen. She went forward and tapped the person on the shoulder. With a
gasp of horror the woman turned around and geet's eyes widened in shock.
It was none other than our dear sweet dadi maa. She too lokked at geet in
surprise and asked her what she was doing there. Geet said, "Dadi ji mai to
ice-cream khane ayi thi. " Dadi maa smiled and said, "Waise bete hum bhi
ice cream khane hi aaye hai. Hum kisi ko bolte to koi manta nahi. Aur aaj
hum ko bahot man ho raha tha ice cream khane ka. Geet smiled and said that
they ought to go and eat right then. Dadi maa smiled and both went inside
the kitchen. Daadi opened the big freezer and took out the tub of chocohip
ice cream. Geet took two spoons and both sat at the little square table to enjoy
their dessert. With happy swirling sounds both were slurping the ice cream
from their spoons. Just then geet stopped eating and became very still. Dadi
maa raised her eyebrows and asked what was up. Geet put a finger on her lips
and pointed outside. Dadi maa quickly switched off the light and both hid just
behind the table in a corner.
Quick footsteps echoed outside in the hall. Holding hands two men were
walking fast towards the kitchen. Actually mohinder had sensed someone
crossing the corridor while geet was creeping towards the kitchen for her post
midnight treat. So silently going into shobit's room he woke his friend and
they both had come down to check themselves. They suspected it was their
naughty old mother who mostly behaved like a kid. Shobit was still yawning
and mohinder pulled inside the kitchen. They both saw around very carefully.
Moonlight was streaming inside from a side window grill so the kitchen was
bright enuf to observe properly.
"Lagta hai yaha koi nai hai mohi. Chal jakar so jate hai. Waise hi aadhi
raat ho gayi hai." Shobit said drowsily. He could not understand why his
friend was so picky about looking for the night walker. "Oye chup kar. Muje
lagta hai zaroor maa yaha par aayi hongi. Tujhe pata hai na, itni buzurg ho
gayi hai phir bhi bacho ki tarah zidd karti hai ice cream ke liye. Doctor ne
forbid kiya hai phir bhi khati rehti hain hum sab se chhupa kay. Khud to
kabhi kuch bolega nahi lekin unki tabiyat kharaab ho gayi toh? Kaun unko
sambhalega phir?" He scolded his friend. Shobit nodded his head in an
understanding manner. He knew his naughty mother very well. She never
took the doctor's advice seriously. She loved cold food and would always
sneak inside the kitchen for any cold treats whenever she could. "Theek hai.
Chalo light on karke dekhte hain. They switched on the lights and looked all
around the huge kitchen. But both ladies were hiding behind the farthest fruit
table so the men could not see them at all. Thinking that he must been really
mistaken, mohinder put out the lights and both friends went away to their
rooms chatting merrily as they ascended the stairs.
After 10 minutes Geet and Dadi maa finished their ice cream and then
threw away the empty tub. Washing their chocolate smeared faces, Dadi maa
said geet that it was quite late now so they ought to go and sleep. Geet agreed
and started following dadi maa to her room. But she was not aware that the
next moment would snatch the ground from under her feet. A shocker was
coming her way rapidly. It was going to give her a very horrifying surprise.
