Part 15
Lunch was been served as Shamila came into the dinning room
she saw that Geet's cheeks were red and knew that perhaps Maan was teasing her so she asked Geet if Maan is troubling her and Geet said No
so Shamila thought to have a little fun and said
'oh I thought Maan was troubling you than why is your cheeks so red ,
Maan were you pinching Geet's cheeks
and he was so embarrassed but said
no Bhabhi I think Geet has been rubbing her cheeks or maybe she was trying to kiss her cheeks "
and Shamila burst out laughing telling Maan
"Oh so Mr Lover boy kissed his girl "
making both Maan and Geet shy while he enjoyed the teasing it felt great but Geet was so shy .
Shamila had to change the topic and get both to sit at the table and have lunch .
Maan than asked "Bhabhi would it alright if Geet and myself go out for few hours "
but before he could explain further Shamila said it would be fantastic if both spend some quality time together and he does not need her permission but Maan told her that she is their Bhabhi and elder to them to .
Shamila really liked Maan's behavior she knew he was just perfect for Geet and would love Geet unlike her that never received love in her marriage .
Tamy's place was in Washington in the area of Alexandria , Virginia
Maan decided they will cruise on one of the tour boats or water taxis as they see their way through the entire town and thereafter they decided on some shopping at the Water Front .
Maan had not left Geet's waist for a second showing her that she belongs to him and making all the males aware that she is his woman
His touch on Geet was soft gentle yet it held a firm hold .
Geet was comfortable ,shy yes ! but very comfortable been with Maan .
After shopping for a while they decided to take a walk on the Mount Vernon Bridge ,
both were quiet and now Maan wanted and needed to have a conversation he felt that both are comfortable with each other but it does seem difficult to strike a conversation Maan took a deep breath he had to do this ,
Maan stopped walking bringing Geet to a halt he turned her slowly towards him lifted her chin so she could look him in the eye and he started
"Geet would you mind telling me about your interests ,
your friends and how your family life was ,
only if you trust me enough "
Geet blinked her eyes than she said
"you want to know about my family life but ..."
before Geet could even give a negative answer Maan said
"I know its painful now to talk about them but please tell me about your
memories that you cherish "
Geet nodded her head took few seconds to compose herself than said
"Shall we continue to walk "
and Maan agreed as they took a slower walk this time Geet said
" both my parents were into Law my Jeet Bhai however , did not follow their foot steps
but he wanted that my parents work for themselves so my father registered a company
my brother managed the entire business ,
my father was very strict at home and at the office but he always made time
to check that every member is doing well while my mother she pampered us
Jeet Bhai and myself were not very close not because of any sibling rivalry
no its simply that he kept to himself yes he cared and loved me very much but we didn't spend time together chatting it would just be at the dinner or breakfast table we would talk .
When Jeet bhai got married Shamila Bhabhi became my everything
she was my Bhabhi my best friend , my sister and sometimes too she would be just like a mother to me , as my mum was usually busy .
You must be thinking that my family life was vague and we not a normal family ,
but we were a happy family my father made it a point that once a month the entire family does something fun to bond with each ,
I always enjoyed outside activities and my father made the family part take in that to strengthen our bonds.
My first interests was in designing Jewels but my father wanted me to be in Law
I had lots of friends in school even in college but after the family's death coming to this new college
I only got myself two friends as a lot has changed personality wise I think "
"Geet how do you feel now after the death of your family "
Geet kept quiet but tears made their way and instantly
Maan hugged her he kept her in his warm arms so that she could feel comforted
so she could know he was there standing by her side he rubbed her soothing her and she took a relaxing breath coming out of the hug than said
" I feel disconnected all the time the hurt just does not go away
I'm losing concentration in everything I do , sometimes in the quiet of the night
when I'm all alone I ask myself when I get sick who will take care of me
it hurts so much that I want to forget who I am
but than even that is difficult I blame myself not been with them the guilt eats at me
I'm not sure if living is ethical while my family is no more
I try and sleep but even sleep does not make its way .
Maan do you know that I feel guilty and regret maybe if I had listened to
Shamila Bhabhi than my family would still be alive do you know I don't even have a single momentum of my family does that not tell you just how unlucky I am .
Maan could not hear more yes its true he wanted Geet to open up but her grief was so deep
and she feeling guilty her pain was just unbearable for him her tears were like knives stabbing at his heart he pulled her in a tight hug and said
' Geet my Jaan ... I want you to listen to me carefully
your family dying was in their fate it had nothing to do with you been away from home
it was their time , you living is what your family wants to see when they look down from heaven
they want to see their daughter excel in her life the momentum you have of your family is always with you
My Jaan its their memory no one can take that from you .
remember you never alone
I'm always and forever going to be by your side
together we will travel and slowly you will also heal
but that can only happen once you stop blaming yourself"
Both Maan and Geet had tears in their eyes
Maan wiped Geet's tears but it seemed like these tears just poured out
Maan brought his lips close to her eyes and softly kissed each eye
but still it seemed that the tears were just flowing freely so
Maan again brought his mouth to her eyes again kissed each eye and licked her tears
it seemed than Geet realized what Maan was doing and she placed her face in the crook of his neck ,
Maan smiled knowing that soon she would stop crying but he also felt elated that Geet took the
first step in trusting him , his hands very gently was rubbing her back soothing her and calming her after a while he uttered
"Jaan you are so soft so beautiful "
Geet smiled a shy smile and curled her hands around Maan's neck feeling his warmth while
Maan placed a soft kiss on her head still holding her
Maan said they should go back if she wants they can catch a cab back home instead of taking a water taxi
Geet had no more strength after her talk she just agreed to whatever Maan suggested and both headed to the taxi rank in front of the mall .
