-Back to you Arms-
Two Years Later. . . .
It's been two whole years... f**king two years since the time I had let Geet go away to London and till date I regret my decision. She had made me promise not to call her or visit her while she's in London, but I made sure I have all her information if not directly then indirectly. I have deployed Nina to our London branch and had told her keep me updated about Geet. She had asked the reason and I had to tell her the truth! That day she had been angry on both of us. Though she didn't tell anyone else but had given me a good long speech. Ever since she has gone to London she has been staying with Geet and had told me how much Geet is suffering. I know we are both suffering but I can't bring myself to go and bring her back for forever. I feel I'm betraying my uncle if I marry her. I f**king don't know what should I be doing.
Dadima had come to know about the events that had taken place on my birthday and she had been angry as well. She kept trying to make me understand that if I marry Geet then I'm not betraying my uncle since it was his last wish as well. But still I'm not convinced.
I got up from my chair and stood in front of the frame which had me standing with my uncle with the trophy of best businessman of the year in my hand. I traced his face - I miss him, I miss him a lot. A tear slid down to my cheek as I remembered how happy he was that day. "Uncle, you have always guided me in thick and thin of the life. Whenever I was lost you guided my path. But today again I'm lost. I'm torn between the two most precious people of my life. I love Geet a lot uncle but whenever I thought of the culmination of our love into the sacred relationship, I feel like I'm betraying you. I don't know what I should do anymore. Please guide me like you always did." I leaned on the frame keeping forehead on it, trying to find some solace. As I moved back the frame moved a little and an envelope fell down.
I stared at the envelope for a little too long. It's the content that had me shocked to the core. It was my uncle's last letter to me. He had written it couple of days before he died. Guess he had anticipated his death. In his letter he had expressed his last wish which was that I get married to the woman I love i.e. Geet. He had wanted me to be married to Geet! I can't believe what I had read. All the while he had wanted me find to Geet and make her fall in love with me. Oh god! Why he loved me so dearly that while dying too he wanted my happiness. He had even talked to her dad again! Even Geet's parents wanted the same. I need some answers and I know who has my answers.
I was standing at the doorstep of Handa Villa with Geet's mom staring at me with wide eyes and jaws dropped. "You found the letter, didn't you?" Now it was my turn to be stunned. I gasped realizing they knew all this while they knew. "How do you know?" my curiosity had gotten better of me. She gestured me to come inside and I followed her to the living room where Geet's dad was reading evening newspaper. He looked up at me and he too was surprised and then realization dawned upon him. He gestured me to sit and once we settled, "your uncle had said that once you find his letter, you will come here. He knew you pretty well." He smiled while I can see the moistness in his eyes. "Raman and I were close friends. We had graduated from same college." He said while gesturing to his wife and himself. "He had told me about your love for Geet and I was more than happy to marry Geet to you but we didn't want to force her into anything. However, Raman was damn sure that one day you will make Geet fall in love with you and I must say he was right. So, son what brings you here? I think by now you should have been in the flight to London." He looked at me smirking while I was gaping at them with an open mouth. "Well, this whole idea was his. To bring Geet back and then make join in KC and everything, because he knew Geet won't be able to resist your charm and will fall for you and that my son happened!" I was shocked beyond imagination. "But alas he left us even before the plan was started. It was his last wish and we decided to fulfill it. But we waited for some time as we knew you needed time to stable yourself after his loss." That was too much of information for me to take in. All I wanted was my uncle to come down here from where ever he had gone so I can hug him for loving me so selflessly.
"Maan, where are you lost son? It's high time that both you and Geet stop all this childishness of being in the guilt trip and start afresh. This is what we want and this is what your uncle had wished for. And if you both are still going to be dumb asses and then trust me lad I'm going to tie you both and then will get you married." Geet's dad finished standing to his feet with a warning which made me chuckle and tears welled up in my eyes. I got up and walked up to him and hugged him tight," thanks uncle!" I muttered as I couldn't speak anymore as my throat cloaked with emotions. "It's dad you idiot." Geet's dad said patting my back, "now go and bring my even dumber daughter so I can marry her off to you and then we will leave it to you both idiots." I laughed and nodded, "don't worry dad, mom I will bring Geet back soon and you lot can start making arrangements for our wedding." Dad and mom smiled as I took their blessings and left to bring my Geet back to where she belongs!
I couldn't help but grin ear to ear as I sat in my private jet and was all set to fly down to London where I will be meeting Geet after 2 whole years. Damn her, why did she have to leave in the first place. But what had happened has happened. Now I don't want to look back, I have task at my hand to finish. I have to fulfill uncle's wish. I sighed as I again thought of him; however, my reverie broke when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to my side to look at Danish who was looking at me concerned probably he had seen me going sad. I nodded no and smiled. Though he didn't buy, didn't probe further. Rather he did what he does best - being a dickhead- in Geet's words. "So, what are you going to do once you will see Geet? Are going to hug her, kiss or maybe a makeup for the lost time?" he winked at me however, frowned as I punched him in the stomach. "Don't fly high on your imaginations and what I do when I meet Geet is for me to know and her to find out, so you have got no business here." I smirked as I saw the shocked look at his face.
Few hours later. . . .
Dan and I were standing outside the house where Geet and Nina were staying. Oh did I tell you that Geet and Nina were staying Khurana residence which we have in Hampstead, London. Well, if Geet could make me agree to not see her then two can play the game. I had made her agree that she will be staying at the place which I will choose for her. So, here we are standing at the doorstep waiting for the residents to open and get the shock of their lives. "Maan, I don't want to go inside, the two lunatics in there will kill me!" I looked at Dan as he started blurting whatever was coming in his mind, "then why in hell you always being a dick to them." I taunted him since I know the reason well. Before he could come back with a retort, the door opened and there stood the woman I was dying to meet.
Now we all sat in the living room with Geet and Nina looking at us expecting some sort of explanation for our sudden landing here. However, we were both pretty relaxed. "So, won't you gals ask us for some coffee or tea or some snacks since we have covered such a long journey." Dan broke the eerie silence which was prevailing but oops he rubbed the wrong side of the pretty ladies. "Well, since you guys decided to land here unannounced that too in the middle of the night, so you can serve yourself." Saying so, Nina got up and turned on her heels left for her room leaving us three. I nudged Dan to go away as well but that idiot didn't budge rather sprawled on the sofa.
"Oh wow, this sofa is so damn comfy, I guess I'll be sleeping." Dan declared as he made himself comfortable on the sofa. I stood up shaking my head at, "you are such scoundrel" I muttered so only he can hear to which he just grinned at me. I walked towards the stairs and led myself to the room which I know will provide me the much needed privacy - my study! As I entered my study, I took off my jacket and hung it on the hanger and then stood near the French window looking outside. I knew Geet is going to follow me here and I wasn't wrong. The door opened and I knew Geet is here, I don't have look back, I can feel her presence like always.
"So, you broke the promise" I heard Geet speaking. She hadn't talked to me in last two years and her melodious voice was music to ears. I turned around and smiled faintly, "you didn't speak to me in two years and now when you are this is all what you have to say?" I complained to her, to which she frowned and then inhaled a long breath, "I'm sorry Maan, but why are you here? You had promised me and by coming here you have broken that promise." I walked towards her and stood right in front of her as I stared at her taking my fill. I haven't seen her for so long and right now I'm in pure bliss. "Well, you see Geet I have broken the promise because I have to fulfill some other promises which are apparently more important to this one." I gestured with my fingers; however, confusion marred her beautiful face, "what do you mean Maan?" "What I mean..hmm... Geet I'm not going to beat around the bush, in fact I will be very straight. I'm here to take you back with me and then I do have plans to get married to you." I spoke stunning her and her eyes went so wide that I felt the eyeballs will jump out of them. "Maan.." just a mere whisper of my came out of her mouth. "You heard me Geet. I'm here for you, for me, for us!"
And then I went on explaining her the happening of past few days, she was crying continuously and I don't know what should I say to stop her from crying because no matter what her tears pierce my heart. So, I did what I thought to be best, moving ahead I engulfed her in my embrace and she too gave in willingly. She was very emotional now and I knew only I can comfort her.
Once she had calmed down and had come to terms with whatever I had told her, her brain started working and her eyes widened as she realized her parents were also the masterminds of this whole fiasco. I think she probably had a few flashbacks as well, as I can see confusion going away and realization settling on her face. "Hawww... Mom and dad tricked me!" Whoa... finally my Geet is back. God saves mom-dad from their little devil.
Since now, Geet had come back to her normal-self, I thought to take up my chance as well. I kneeled down in front of her, "You proposed me and I disposed you two years ago. But now I know my mistake and want to set things right. So, Miss. Geet Handa, will you oblige me the pleasure to spend the rest of my life with you as your lover, husband, friend and companion. I want to grow old with you and I want my nights and days to be spent in your beautiful arms. I promise to love with all my being, I promise to fulfill all your sane demands, I promise to bear your madness and I promise to give five adorable babies and more if you want." I completed my proposal and found her gaping at me. "Five?" she whispered already perspiring at the thought, while I decide to have some fun, "kyu kam hain Geet?" I made the most innocent face but only received her punch. "Oh god, don't kill me woman" I groaned holding my stomach. "This was for teasing me, next time you tease me I'll be kicking where the sun doesn't shine and where it hurts the most." She threatened me while I smirked standing to my feet. I moved closer to her wrapping my arms around her waist I pulled he me till our bodies were aligned, "Trust me Geet, if you kick me there then it's gonna be your loss baby. If I'm unable to pleasure and satiate you in bed then you can't blame, so drop the idea of kicking me there." I said softly, my breath falling on her face while I tucked away a lose tendril behind her ear, caressing it softly. Her cheeks flushed as she registered my not so decent words, she tried to pull away but I had no intentions of leaving her, not now, not ever in this lifetime.
"Is that a blush I see or you are feeling hot in here. Or is it that my proximity is making you feel hot?" I again teased her, she snapped her eyes at me and then her eyes went wide, "You ass-hat! You knew it all that while." She stated as she hit me on my chest, while I chuckled pulling her closer to me tightly, "Oh Geet, I love you so very much." I said looking into her eyes, while she smiled and that smile took away my last bit of control that I was holding onto and leaning down I kissed her.
Our first kiss! At first the kiss was small, just little pecks. I didn't want to rush but wanted us both to enjoy our first kiss. She too responded to the kiss and wrapped her arms around my nape. I pulled her closer to me as our lips locked. Slowly the kiss started to grow deeper and more intense, our love, desire and passion for each other taking over us.
Without any worries or thoughts, I pulled her on top me as she wrapped he legs around my waist. I then pinned her to nearby wall as I started to deepen our kiss. She tasted heavenly to me. Tentatively with my tongue, I traced across the bottom of her lip. The soft caresses of her lips felt like heaven. I bit down onto her lower lip seeking entry into her mouth. I traced her mouth with my tongue, she's so sweet. I traced all the hidden crevices of her mouth my tongue and at last our tongues met and then indulged in the war of their own.
After a long moment which felt like eternity, I broke the kiss as we both needed air to breath. We were both panting with the exotic and passionate kiss that we had shared. I rested my forehead to hers while her eyes remained closed. "Geet" I whispered wanting to look into her eyes but all I can see was her scarlet red face. She just hid her face in my chest hugging me tight and I too reciprocated smiling widely and enjoying the feel of our first kiss and feel of her being in my arms.
"I love you, Maan" she spoke softly after a few moments, I kissed her head, "I love you too, Geet" and then tightened my hold around her. A content smile spread across our faces and we both found the solace in each other's arms.
