Chapter 18
Few hours later
Geet walked into her room and then, went to washroom. She brushed her teeth and changed her clothes. Finished, she came out feeling sleepy. she had a really busy day. Naintara di was not here, so that left only Geet to help amma ji. Brij's wife was pregnant and staying with her parents. So, she had to take many responsibilities.
Mixed with tiredness, there was a feeling of immense sadness. She had not eaten a single sweet today. And it was all her ghulab jamun's fault. He had kept her innocent thoughts occupied with teddy bear and then, his presence. This had led to guest finishing the custard and rice pudding before Geet came downstairs.
Now, her soul was in deep pain. Adding to this pain were the words of her dharam fiance. She grabbed the pillow and slapped it couple of times,'' Won't let me sleep? Are you shakti maan?Don't you know that your innocent fiance loves to sleep? Terrorizing me even before marriage.''
She stop slapping the pillow to look up at the ceiling and said,'' Baba ji, did you hear what he said?If this really happened. Then, I will be having a kaka (baby) every year. How will I take care of so many kids? My life will be destroyed. Tell me baba ji, what should I do?''
At that moment, her mobile started ringing. She reached forward to pick it up from under the second pillow. she looked at the screen. It was him. she put the mobile phone back, not in the mood to talk to him. she put the pillow back and laid down again. The ringing stopped. Then, after few minutes, it started again.
Geet laid there looking at the ceiling,lost in her sorrow. It was vanilla custard. she thought with pain.
After few minutes, there was a knock on her door,'' Geet?''
Geet got up it. It was Amma ji. she got off the bed and went to the door, taking big sad sighs.
When she opened the door, Amma ji frowned,'' Phone is ringing. why are you not picking it up? Your di wants to talk to you.''
Geet,'' I was asleep. Didn't hear the ringing.'' she knew who was ringing her. He must have complaint to Dev who had asked Naintara to call Amma ji.
Amma ji,'' Then, how did you heard my knock?''
Before Geet could reply, Amma ji handed her darji's mobile. ''Here, talk to her.'' Muttering under her breath, Amma ji went back to whatever she was doing before she got disturbed.
Geet stared at Amma ji's retreating back and then at the mobile phone in her hand. She closed the door and went inside the room and laid back on the bed and then, put the phone against her ear,'' hello.''
As expected, it was not Naintara di but her besharam.
Maan,'' Geet, where were you? I have been calling you for past two hours.''
Geet,'' I was busy with chores and then, resting.''
Maan who had been actually worried, let out a deep breath,'' You could have texted me. I was really worried about you.'' Worried that maybe he had taken too many liberties and she was angry at him.
Geet,'' I am tired. I want to sleep.''
Maan raised a brow as he heard it. she actually sounded tired. He felt guilty. ''Okay, Just talk to me for few minutes. Then, you can sleep .''
Geet,'' Okay.'' she sounded very sad.
Maan hesitated,'' you okay? I mean the kiss. You aren't mad about it?''
Geet remained quiet. Her eyes were closing as she let out a yawn. She wanted to sleep.
Maan,'' Sorry. I got carried away. You... you taste really good. I really enjoye... ''
Geet cut the call as she glared at the mobile in her hand. ''Baba ji. He is really besharam.''
The phone rang again. she picked up the call and before he could say anything, told him,'' I have to go out tomorrow. So, I need to sleep early.''
Maan moved his fingers through his hairs. ''Okay. What time you will be back?''
Geet,''Evening.''
Maan,'' Okay. I will call you tomorrow. Bye.''
Geet replied,'' Bye'' and cut the call. Then, she stared at the mobile phone in her hand and said gloomily ,'' Baba ji. His intentions doesn't seem right. Definitely, a kaka per year.''
