PART 31
She shuts her eyes to refrain the tear on verge of falling from actually falling
He puts his hand on her cheek and kisses her forehead
She clenches on the sheet
M-Goodnight
He says taking away his hand and moving back
G-Good night
She utters and then turns around digging her face on the pillow
She never imagined it would be so difficult; all this bearing the marriage with him and doing as per the conduct she has chosen to, shutting her heart away
Maan closes his eyes hoping that their relationship can improve...
Wahan to chadar bhi ek hi thi odhne ke liye and nights get cold there as it's near the river
Geet ko raat mein thand lagne lag gai
Chaadar dekha to ek hi hai aur wo Maan ne odh rakhi hai; aur dekha kahin aur to nahi hai
Maans bhi soya to nahi tha
Geet ne socha itni raat ko reception mein phone bhi kaise kare
Maan ko bhi thodi thand lagi to socha ki Geet ko bhi lag rahi hogi
Geet bag mein dekhne lagi...kuch mil jaye odhne yaa pehenke sone ke liye
Packing Maan ki mom ne ki thi..sab chinne chinne kapde
M-Geet idhar aao
G-Huh?
She turned
G-Oh! You are awake! I am sorry...utha diya
M- Jetlag...couldn't sleep
G-oh
Geet bhi kya kahe...kabhi aur hota pehle to wo bolti chalo puri raat baatein kare yaa movie dekhte hain romantic seo...yaa garam dudh doon?
Abhi pata nahi kya kahe..islie chup rahi
M-We share a bed, surely we can share a blanket?
G-emm..
She looks around...baaki koi chaara nahi hai
G-or..emm...can call the reception...emm should I? [She says tucking her wild strand of hair behind her ear]
M- I am not going to jump on you like a sex deprived animal, you know. I dint jump on you even when I was drunk...
Geet chup
She looks down and nods
G- I know [she thinks-why would you...you aren't interested.. am not Tara naa]
Geet slowly comes to her place and cautiously slips inside the blanket, turning to him momentarily then turning away]
He shifts a bit closer jisse aram se dono ko blanket mil jaye
She feels comfy in the soft blanket
Sote- sote invariably inch by inch Maan shifts closer to Geet
Geet bhi zara close ho gai as warmth of his body was very comfy
She never understood why she was always cold and his body was warm
Subah mobile mein alarm baja
Adhi raat ke baad to neend aayi thi, aram se so rahe the itna...blanket se thand mei ek haath bahar nikalne ka man nahi kar raha Maan ka alarm band karne ke liye
Jab band nai hua to finally he woke up disgruntled, alarm band kiya phone dhoondh kar
Dekha ki Geet so rai hai paas mein aram se
Maan ne kafiii time baad Geet ko itna relaxed se mode mei dekha...no nightmare no flashes... no hopeless lost eyes...no glassy vacant eyes...a calm relaxed face
Maan late gayaa wapas Geet ke bagal mei dono ko chaadar uda ke
Dheere se keeps his hand over hers, her hands were cold
He looks at her for a while
Geet gave a sleepy cat smile as garam haath rakha, her hand holding on to the warm thing
Dheere se he slides closer, holding her closely, thodi der baad so gaya
Kuch ghante baad Geet k ankh khuli
Bada acha comfortably soyi, acha mausam hai...warm-warm, bahar dekha acha nazara hai, side mein Maan holding onto her
Niceee
Then KYAAA
SIDE MEIN MAAN HOLDING ON TO HER???????????
Realization stuck her
Dhadkane tez!
Jaldi se uthke baith gai
Maan to so raha tha, usse pata bhi nahi ki Geet bagal mein hyperventilate kar rahi hai
Geet jaldi se moved aside
Silk bed sheet se phisalke neeche
Bump!
G-Oh!
Maan ki bhi neend khuli jab bagal mein haath phelaya to jaga khali, anhk kholi to Geet jameen par
Maan asks rising up on elbow
M-Neeche kya kar rahi ho?
Geet jaldi se uth gai...jhaad jhudke
G-emm..nahi..nothing
Socha jald se bathroom bhaage par yaad aaya oh door nahi hai
Maan uth kar baitha running hand through his hair
M- Had good sleep?
He asks with a sleepy sexy smile
She nods, looking here and there
M-Cool
Maan looks aound for time... dekha ki its 1 pm
M- Brunch?
He asks getting out of bed
Geet wahan undecided ki kya are...
M-Yahaan khaogi ki bahar chalein?
Maan says picking up his brush and brushing his teeth, splashing water on face
Geet bechari wahin khadi thi, apna toothbrush nikala
G-emm...I...need to use the washroom
She says biting her lips indecisively
He looked at her through the mirror, she looked sexy yet divine with her dishelmed sleepy look plus lip biting
Maan muhh mei brush ghusaye bhool gay ki Geet ne kya kaha after she said for a moment, fir waps dhyan aaya
He nods, rinses his mouth
M- I'll be out and book the taxi and stuff. Tum taiayar ho jao...kahin bahar hi kha lenge
Kehkar Maan neeche chala gya
She nods and locks the door
Neeche Maan is asking khane peene ghumen ka acha kya hai as subah wala plan to cancel ho gaya, bola ki taxi bulwa do jo pure din ke liye hire hoti hai
Geet brushes and washes herself and all
She feels the stuff in washroom is nice...nice smell
Maan doosre hotels ka bhi dhoondhta hai... ki agar Geet ko zyada problem hui to shift kar lenge
Geet kapde pehenke neeche aati hai Maan ko dhundne...baal gile...water dripping, bath fresh look, nice smelling
Maan reception pe baitha tha looking at some travel brochures
Geet peeche se naam pukarti hai
G-Maan
M- Hmm oh? Tum taiyaar ho gai?
G-Haan..chalo
Maan gives her looking nice wali appreciative smile
Geet turns and heads towards the room
