"Two edges of sea never met..."
Maan came back after his 5 days business trip. Atharav jump out from Samarth's lap and rushed to him. Maan to lifts him quickly. He kissed him like he saw his treasure after ages. Atharav wrapped his arms and legs around him firmly. Samarth's eyes to gleaming with happiness. Hearing Atharav's voice women of the house to come out of their rooms.
"How's your trip son?" Samarth asked even after having every second news of him.
"Fabulous dad. Deal is sealed and on our terms." He told him proudly.
"I knew it. My son want some thing or wo use na mile, next to impossible." Samarth's proud reflecting through his voice and eyes, he have on Maan.
Atharav felt insecure as Maan talking to others. He clenched his stubble cheek and moved to him. "Dad talk to me only. You promise me na." He said with authority and all laugh seeing his possessiveness for Maan.
"My son angry?" Maan glance in his eyes who staing him. Atharav nooded in yes. "But dad brought some thing which Atharav like so much. Par baby is angry to dad kisko de wo gift?" Maan use his tactics to melt him.
"No kisi ko nahi. Dad brought gift for Atharav only." Atharav grew more angry how can Maan gave his gift to some one else. His father is only his possession.
Maan open his bag and dragged out one packet. "Ye kiska hai?" He showed to him and Atharav grasp quickly. Maan grinned and kissed him. Atharav got gift but his attention was only on Maan. He not ready to leave him. Maan had to work with one hand. He brought gift for his dad and Meera also.
"Ye laptop kyu?" Meera asked.
"Its more advance then yours. It helps you with your files and documents." Maan explains and she glared him. She hit Maan with samr laptop he brought for her.
"To ye bolo ise office use k liye laye ho. Apne liye. Wait you jerk." Meera running behind him and he running around the couch.
Samarth glancing how they fought like kids. "Both of you stop it. Atharav ko lag jayegi." Samarth cautioned but who listens when they both are in fun mode.
Atharav is also not less. "Bua stop. Don't hit my dad." Atharav not only glared her but threatened as well.
"Achha or else what you did, piddi?" She start tickling him and Maan both. "Ab bol?"
Both Maan and Atharav falls down on couch. Hall filled with his laugh and Atharav's giggles. It was a view Samarth craving for. Now his mansion was not lifeless. Even Geet smiled without any boundaries she weaves around her. "Bua bas. Stop stop." Atharav pleading as his stomach start aching because of laughing non stop.
"Meera bas. Okay I am sorry. You buy your choice gift and I will pay for that." Maan to bow down and pleads to leave both.
Meera left both. "That's better." She step back and both got a relief.
"Dad bua ko gift nahi dena. She tickled us." He whispered in his ears.
"Atharav I heared what you told to your dad." Meera was in play mood and she gave a fake threat to Atharav.
"No bua I told that to buy two gift for you." Atharav was smart enough to twist the talk and same he did to save himself from his aunt tickling session.
"Exact copy of Maan." Meera told. "Uncle apko pata hai bachpan me massi ko aise hi bewakuf banata tha ye." Meera shared his childhood memory when he was in the age of Atharav. Samarth heart heavied as he missed his childhood moments. He came to him when he was 8. He missed those eight years badly.
Maan read his eyes instantly and went to him and hugged him. "My dad knows me best."
Samarth smile wide. "Ok ok all get their gifts but where is my daughter's gift?" Samarth asked for Geet's gift and Maan turn mute. Samarth asked again. "Did you brought some thing which you don't want to share?" He teased him but his dead heart don't react.
"Nahi dad I don't buy any thing for her because don't like some one put their choice on her. And I respect her thoughts." Maan said in a straight voice without glancing at his father even.
"Ye kya baat hui Maan?" Samarth questions him as he don't like this decision of his.
"Dad I don't want to impose myself on her. Or waise b ye sab Geet ka hi hai so she can buy what ever she wants." Maan snuggle Atharav more to his heart and stroke his back, while glancing at Geet who stand like a statue.
"Wo to hum sab b le sakte hai. Then why you brought gifts for us?" His eyes narrowed and tone was strong.
"Dad if you to don't like then threw it." Maan's mood change instantly.
"Maan you know I didn't meant this." Samarth was angry on him but he know with showing anger nothing can solved. "Fine, I will took her to shopping. Geet come we are going." He tried his level best to handle the situation and made her feel good.
"Nahi papa. I dont need any thing." She answered him but her eyes were lingered on Maan who made move from the hall.
"Dad lets go with mom and dadu. You buy gift for mom." Atharav asked with a smile.
"Atharav dad is tired na. You go with them and buy gift for your mom. Will you do it for me?" He asked softly and Atharav agree instantly. He leave him and went with them. Though Geet denied several times but Samarth dragged her forcibly.
In night he don't even go to sleep in his bedroom. He slept on his study chair. Sun dawn and Atharav was ready for a school. But he demands that his parents come with him. Maan get ready and asked Geet.
"Atharav want us to drop him. So ready ho jao." Maan asked politely without giving a glance to her. She to get ready with out a word. Both went to drop him. Atharav went inside and both settled inside the car.
"You hate me right? And please don't lie. It clearly reflecting from your actions." Geet confront him without looking at him.
"I never lied to you. I always spoke what I felt. I never hide my feelings." Maan replied to her.
"That's why you behaving with me like this?" She asked bout his indifference towards her.
"I am only doing what you want from me. My be you forgot but not me. I am just a used tissue paper of yours who was forced on you by our parents. So I am doing my best to correct what wrong had done with you." Geet's each hurting graved so deep on his heart. His confessions reminds her every insult she threw on him as a reply for his love. Many times he indicates her and she knew that but Geet in her ego pushed him away all the time and now he was to far that she don't able to reach him.
"So what you want from me now? If you don't like my presence then I will go back to my Uncle." Geet wasn't sure nor Maan about what they going through. They are together just because of Atharav and Samarth.
"Why should I?"
"Because I hurt you and you want me to pay for that." Geet again accused him.
"I never desired this. And I never want to parted my son from his mother. Mujhse zada uspe tumhara haq hai. You bear many things to bring him into this world and for that I always respect you." Maan replied for her blame. He don't want any argument, so he cut in short.
"You said you respect me? Then prove it." Geet demands and Maan glance at her in confusion.
"What you want tell me. I can do anything." He asked about her wishes.
Geet glance at him. Both were silent. "Love me.", her words shocked him but he don't react. "Love me abhi."
Maan wear his shades and start his car. He drove car in a pace and soon car entered in lonely area of forest. He stop car at a place covered by large trees all around. "We have one hour. Uske baad wapis school jana hai." Maan told her while glancing at his wrist watch.
Geet observed him. He was calm and silent. Maan step out and adjust back seat for their make out. Geet came out and stood besides him. Maan signal her. She sat on seat and slipped back, making space for him. Maan remove his watch and came inside. But the moment he was struggling to open the button of her jeans she stopped him.
"Drive back to school." She demands and he leave her instantly without even asking the reason of her denial. Both moved to their seats and he drove back towards Atharav's school as he promised him that he spend rest of the day with him. Both wait out. No one initiate the talk.
Atharav came out and both took him to his favourite spots. They spend time together but for him. The moment they returned a big surprise was waiting for them. Vikram and Adi was waiting for him. Both stood up and rushed to him. Maan's lips curved till ears. All three hug each other.
"How are you?"Maan asked from both. He was so happy to see his friends after a long time.
"Why you want to know? You jerk we are angry with you. Bina kuchh kahe chala gaya. Sare contacts band kar diye or wapis aaya to b milne nahi aaya." Both complaining and punching him as well.
"Dekho meri baat suno. I can explain." He was stepping back but Adi hold his arms not allowing him to escape and Vikram punishing him.
Atharav came as saviour and showing his eyes to them. "Aap dono. Leave my dad." He commands.
"Atharav baby come here. Your dad's friend teaching him not to leave us again." Samarth to came and drag Atharav from there.
"Sorry sorry." Maan apologies.
Adi signal Vikram and leave his arms. "Ab jayega?" Both asked and he nodds no. "Good. Now come we are going out."
"Nahi guys actually. .." Maan denied.
"Don't worry we know you become a family man. Hum teeno k alwa koi nahi hoga promise." They assured him in front of all.
"Dad you are going?" Atharav don't want him to leave.
"Atharav we are taking your dad for few hours only. Please can we." Adi bend before him and asked for his permission. Atharav think and then nods. Adi kissed him.
"But only for two hours." He instructed.
"He is just like you." Vikram remarked and took him with them.
All three share themselves and don't even realize how much time had passed.
"Now listen parso meri engagement hai or tu aayega puri family k sath. Adi ki engagement to tune miss kar di par ab meri nahi karne dunga." Vikram told him in authoritative manner.
"Definitely I will come." Maan assured.
"Not only you but all." He reminds him.
"Dekh main sirf apni assurity de sakta hu Geet ki nahi. I can't say wo aana chahegi ya nahi." Maan clears them.
"Are you still angry for that night? Maan i am sorry but trust me i dont know that she is your wife." Vikarm apologies thinking that he was angry on him that's why don't want Geet to come to party.
"Nahi yaar aisi kuchh b nahi hai. Its just I don't want to forced her. Uski life hai to decision b uska hi hoga."
His confessions made them mute. Both were thought that now they sort out but his voice and eyes said other story. "Maan kuchh problem hai kya tere or Geet k bech? Maan dekh..."
Maan stood up glancing his watch. "Okay its time to leave. Atharav is waiting for me."
"Only Atharav?" Adi's eyes narrowed.
"Yes." He confessed and left his house.
