FINAL PART
Geet caressing his cheek softly. "You have no idea how much irresistible you are." She whispered. Leaned over him and kissed on his hair. He turned to other side. Geet covered him properly and look all around.
How her life changed after their marriage. Maan allowed her to do some changes in his room as per her choice. He was so generous for his best friend. Though they do his counciling before their marriage and made him understood so many things about his marriage with Geet, but for him, she is still his best friend more th wife. This is the base of their relationship which he understood basically.
Geet smiles seeing him sleep like a cute baby. His innocence reflecting on his face. So calm and content. Having no fear of tomorrow. Enthusiasm to learn new things daily. Just like a growing baby and this is the thing she fell for him daily. Daily he do something which put her in awkward situations but Geet don't get irritate.
There is a knock on her door. She left his side and come out of their bed. Arpita was there on door. "Geet can we talk beta?" She asked politely. Geet nodded and both walked out carefully, without making a noise so his sleep not disturbed.
"Geet I don't know from where I should start. Sometimes I really feels, I am doing wrong with you. Maan is always like this. But why..." She felt seeing the girl who was doing so much from them from past two years. Two long years had passed to their marriage.
Geet held her hand softly. "Mumma please. I am requesting you don't blame yourself for anything. It was my decision and i have no regrets." Geet was smiling. She always do but Arpita wasn2 sure if this smile was real or she consoling herself for being trapped in this situation.
Geet do everything. She just passed her college and start working with Arpita. Helping her in office till noon. Afterwards picked up Maan from his special school for a special child like him where he learn Maths, drawing, speaking exercises and so many things. She help him in his home work, yoga classes... Yes she started his yoga classes too so heis concentration would improved. Play with him. Made him learn new games.
"How can I? Every girl has dreams regarding her married life and what you get? Don't I understand your feelings but with Maan nothing is possible." She understood her desires. But in such circumstances nothing is possible.
"Mumma... Mumma... Calm down. It's okay. I know aap dinner wali baat pe pareshan ho. Or galti meri bhi hai. I should be more careful around him. But what to do when your husband is over cute, you loose sometimes and in a flow I..." She stopped and both laughed remember the moment.
FLASHBACK
FEW HOURS AGO:
Maan put two more bread in Geet's plate and extra vegetable that almost ready to flow out.
"Maan stop it beta. What are you doing?" Arpita cautioned him.
"Mumma... I don't want...her to stay... Hungry... No hungry Geet.. or else..." Arpita waits for him to complete staring him. "Or else.. she eat me." He told her innocently.
Arpita gave a weird expression while Geet turned all red and hide her face behind her hands.
Maan was innocent staring both one by one.
"Why she would eat you?" She asked from him.
Maan stare at Geet. "Mumma..she said..she told me...she wants to eat..me." Maan turned to Geet and removed her one hand. "Hai na.. you said.. you want...wants to eat...me." he wants to confirmed by her as well before his mom.
"Don't...eat me... Eat this food..." He told her.
Geet felt so embarrassed and hide her face again. Don't wanna face her mother in law right now.
"Mumma...aap Geet...ko..khana nahi dete?" He asked in same innocent manner.
Arpita now understood what he was talking. "No Maan. Geet is just kidding. She doesn't want to eat you. Right Geet." She wants to gave him full assurance.
Maan looked at her for confirmation. Geet manage to face her and removed her hands from her face. She nodded in pace. "See she only teasing you." Arpita confirmed and Maan smiles wide.
FLASHBACK ENDS:
"But beta life is too long.." she is worried for her happiness.
"Don't worry mumma. Maan ki counciling start kar di hai. I promise you, you will see your grand children. No matter how much time it will take. I know Maan will not be like other men but that is what make him different and that's what I want. They way he love me in his own childish way was something pure and divine. Why you see me as unhappy? Sex is part of married life but marrige doesn't means fullfil these urges only. Marriage means you will get someone who is with you in every thick and thin and got that person in Maan. He loves me. Cares for me. Always make sure I have everything before him. He put my choice before him. Apko pata hai he learn how to make tea, just for me. He got up early in morning just to make tea for me. Itna pyar or care karne wala pati kahi milega?" Geet trying to calm her anxiety regarding her.
"But..."
"No it's and buts. Now you will not take tension of anything. He is my baby. My husband. My best friend. I got everything in him. Apko yaad hai on the day of our marriage what he said to all?" She reminded her.
FLASHBACK:
Two years ago:
Geet muted her parents as she is matured and have a right to chose her life partner. She put two choice before them. Either accept him with full respect or she will left them for forever.
3 days they constantly argued but in last Geet won and they met with Arpita who was already angry on her ex husband. Who filled a seed of fear regarding Maan's safety after her. Filled with that thoughts she instantly said yes for the alliance.
"Now why you call again?" He asked from Arpita.
"Just to inform you that your is going to marry. If you wanna be a part of his happiness then you are invited." She said roughly to him.
"Now you start day dreaming? Who is that mad girl?" Samarth taunts not believing what she just revealed
"I already mailed you all the details. Check your own." She snapped and cut the call.
Samarth was shocked as Maan was going to marry with his friend's daughter. He reached on the venue not to gave his blessings but to cautioned his friend.
"What's wrong with you? Have you gone mad?" He burst on his friend.
"Stop it yaar. We already had a heat up conversation on this matter. So no use of arguing now." Mr. RP handa already gave up so he suggested the same to him.
"Where is Geet?" He asked and reached to the stage. Maan smiled seeing his father but least he knew his father came to stop this marriage, not for him.
"Papa..." He greets seeing him but Samarth ignored.
"Geet I thought you are an intelligent girl but you disappointed me. What the hell you are doing? Spoiling your life."
"Samarth..." Arpita tried to reply but Geet stopped her.
"Wait a minute mumma. Let me talk with Mr. Khurana." She stood for Maan and Arpita. "What you just said that I disappointed you. Well i am not answerable to you in any way. But have you remember how much you disappointed to your loved ones?" She taunts.
"Geet this not a way to do Charity. You will regret very soon." He cautioned her again.
"Yes you are right. I am not doing charity. I am going to marry a person whom I love. Someone who is very special for me." She snapped.
"Marriage. Is your would be husband know the meaning of marriage. He is just a burden that's it and you will realized after your marriage." He snarled at her.
"He very well know. Atleast he would not run like his father leaving own family to die. All of you have so many questions why I want to marry him. Then I tell you all because I love him. From the day we first met. If Maan wasn't save me on that day then I wasnt alive today. Mr. Khurana husband wo jo uski family ko protect kar sake and he know this very well. He risk his life and saved me. Got himself injured but don't let harm reach me." Geet swirled to glance at Maan who was unaware of all this heat up argument and keep smiling seeing his father. Geet caressed his cheek. "That day I owe my life to him. He cried like a baby after that but same time asked for my well being. He know the meaning of protecting his family Mr. Khurana." She gave him back in his tone.
"I will... Pro... Protect her and mumma..." Maan said with her.
"Geet it seems so nice and dreamy for few days. But when your friends start mocking his disability then you feel embarrassed. You feel embarrassed to introduce your husband to society." He somewhere trying to impose his own fears in her mind.
"What disability are you talking about Mr. Khurana? Disability Maan me nahi hum me hai. Who won't be able to see the qualities of him. If he is like child then it's not his fault. Every person is different from other and so is my would be husband. And what embarrassment you are talking about? Is he a criminal, jo mujhe ise introduce karne me sharam aayegi? And I don't want any hypocrite in my life who judge a person from their outer appearance. If any one trying to mock him, I kicked that person out of my life. I don't want people who keep trying to prove themselves superior from others. So if you are don't wanna bless us then you will leave." She said straight on his face and he left fuming in rage.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Yes I remember.." she smiled weakly.
"Now please don't take stress okay. Good night." She kissed on her cheek and walked towards her room.
"This girl is definitely a God's boon for us. Or else who would do this much for a Maan like person. He is my baby. But Geet. She truly love him. I am blessed to have her. True daughter in every sense." Arpita gave thanks to God for sending her in their life.
Next morning Maan was stood with a cup of tea. He kissed Geet on her cheek and wished good morning. "Good morning...Geet."
Geet smiled. She love to see this sight every morning. She sat back and wished him back. "See...see.. I brought...yo..ur.. fav... Biscuits..." He offered her a plate full of her favorite biscuits.
Geet cupped his face and kisse on his head. "Come here." She asked and Maan moved next to her.
Geet encircled his arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "Kya... Kya hua Geet...?" He was worried for her. "Don't you...like...this one..?" He was concerned. "Wait... I bring another...one.."
He was about to stood up but she didn't allowed him. "No I love this one. Don't go. Stay with me." She picked up one biscuit and gave him to eat. "He gulp at once and she pouts. "Maan don't eat fully. Just take one bite." She said and he laughed. Geet gave him another bone but this time he obeyed and only took a bite from it. Rest was eaten by her.
"Geet why... You eat my... Leftovers?"
"Because this one become more tasty after your bite." She said and hugged him from side. He laughed again on her explanation.
"Geet tum buddhu ho... They... All...are same..." He giggled and she smiles on his innocence.
Later she feed him soup which he really don't like but she make sure he finish it. Geet herself feed him. "Bas...or nahi..." He denied.
"Only two more spoons. I want my Maan become strong. Don't you wanna be a strong man?" She knew now how to handle him.
"St...strong man?" He asked in a serious tone and she nodded. Maan thought and got agree.
"Both are ready?" Arpita came and asked both.
Both nodded. Today their is an exhibition of his drawings in his school. All family members were invited. Geet help the school authorities in arranging all student's art work or any other activities in which they doing good. It grooms their self confidence and dignity. Other parents too take part in this function. All left to attend it.
"Life is not complicated. But human greed, ego, lust , jealously and pride made it difficult. Anyone can judge my decision and may feels pity on me. But I don't need that. Because I am indeed happy in my small and beautiful world. Sabko sab kuchh nahi milta. Or jo milta hai usually people don't care for that and here the problems started. If we start respecting and treated humans as a human then life become more easy. My husband seems disable to so many but I got true love, true soul mate in him. Everyone dreams for some special. I have got mine. And I am truly happy. Discovering new shades and aspects of life with him is really adventurous for me. Sometimes he is so innocent, sometimes he is cute, and sometimes very naughty and stubborn too. But gradually I am learning to cope up with his mood swings and with me he is learning how to take care of others. How to become a responsible. No one is perfect. But together we are..."
