EAGERLY WAITING FOR THE UPDATE.......

Chapter 116

“Geet, what are you doing?” Maan entered the bedroom wondering why it was taking Geet longer to join him for breakfast. He found her leaning against their wardrobe holding a box to her chest.

“Geet” he approached her slowly, his eyes drew to the box she held and he swallowed thickly as he realised what she held to her chest.

Geet lifted her gaze and looked at her husband, her heart heavy and she felt as if she was trapped in a tornado of emptiness.

“Her… things” she murmured.

Maan nodded and enveloped her in his arms, he closed his eyes tightening his arms around her as she cried.

“Maan… I want her back” she whimpered. “It’s not fair, it’s not fair…”

“I’m so sorry Geet…” he apologised, he wanted to take away her pain. He just didn’t know how to.

He held her until she’d gathered herself together, he then led her to their bed and sat down with Geet. Taking the box from her hand, he pulled the lid off and their hearts grew heavier.

Their baby’s little onesie, small shoes, hat, all of their first buys were in the box.

Maan focused on the memento they’d received from the hospital and pulled it open, the memento had their daughter’s hands and feet print on it with a picture of her sonogram.

A tear slipped down his cheek as he stared at their daughter’s image on the sonogram, she shouldn’t have been just an image. She should’ve been here with them, in their arms.

How do they get through the pain and get rid of the emptiness in them?

How does he help his wife?

He lifted his head and looked at Geet, she closed her eyes leaning back trying to breathe through the overwhelming pain within…

It was after 11am, that they’d gathered themselves enough to start their day, Maan had suggested last night they go to the supermarket and buy food to stock up their kitchen and fridge.

They’d just stepped out when a door from the opposite side flew open and out stormed Aditya.

“Don’t come back home ever” Sanjana slammed the door closed.

Aditya glanced over his shoulder and offered a friendly smile.

Before he could say anything, Sanjana opened the door again and slammed it behind her.

She scowled at Aditya then looked over at Maan and Geet.

“Morning neighbours, do you have any space to take in this stray animal?” she pointed to Aditya.

“Seriously pookie?” Aditya frowned.

“Don’t you call me pookie! I hate that name” she screamed. “And you know I’m right, you look like a stray animal with this… stupid curly hair”

“You said you love my hair” Aditya reminded.

“I don’t any longer, you don’t deserve my love”

“What’s with all the racket?” Taz stepped out of her apartment. “Don’t you have work to go to?” she looked between Aditya and Sanjana. “Oh hey neighbours” she waved.

“Take in this stray animal, you love doing charity” Sanjana pushed through them and stormed towards the elevator.

Taz glanced at Aditya, “You know your hair does look like…”

“Don’t even think about insulting the hair” Aditya warned cutting her off.

“Just saying what she said” she pointed in the direction of the elevator.

“Whatever” Aditya walked past rolling his eyes at her.

“You two going somewhere?” Taz turned to Maan and Geet.

“Shopping” Maan answered.

“Food” Geet responded simultaneously.

“Oh that’s good, I’m going to the supermarket. Want a ride?” she asked.

“No, we’re fine” Maan shook his head.

“C’mon I’ll give you a ride and I’ll help you with stocking up. I know how to stock up” she informed proudly. “You’ve only just moved in, I’m sure you don’t even have a car yet”

“We’d be getting our car soon, we don’t really need it yet” Maan replied.

“Haven’t you ever shopped for food before?” she scrunched her nose.

“Not really” Geet shook her head.

“You people are going to learn from an expert” she grinned. “C’mon I’ll give you a ride to the supermarket. I’m headed there myself” she waved silently gesturing them to follow behind her.

“Geet, why don’t you sit in the front with me and your husband can take the back seat” Taz suggested as she unlocked her car.

“Actually, we’ll meet you over there. How about that?” Maan asked. It was going to be awkward sitting in the back whilst he was being driven by a woman. He wouldn’t have minded if they were in a taxi, his wife would’ve been sat behind with him.

“No, Geet is sitting at the front and you’re sitting at the back. Just to let you know as well, you’ll have to apply for a license here before you can drive. The DMV won’t be overly pleased if they learn you’re driving without a license permit – it can’t be your India one” she informed. “C’mon now, hop in. I’ve got a lesson to get to as well” she climbed in.

Geet looked over at Maan who’d narrowed his eyes and shot glares at the back of Taz’s head.

“I’ve got side mirrors, I can see you” Taz rolled down her window informing him.

Geet giggled, walking around to the other side and climbed inside, Maan pulled open the back door and climbed in.

“Your first session is this evening right?” Taz glanced at Geet questioningly.

“Yeah” Geet nodded.

“Looking forward to it?” she asked.

“Mind watching the road, we don’t want any accidents” Maan asked from behind.

“Do you think I can’t drive?” Taz arched her brows looking at him through the rear view mirror.

“Not with your eyes off the road” Maan answered.

“Is he always like this?” this time Taz turned her head looking right at Geet.

“Watch the road” Maan straightened and tensed.

“We’re stuck in traffic” Taz gestured ahead.

Maan tilted his head and looked away when Taz smirked.

“So Geet, you looking forward to it?”

“Yeah, it would be nice” Geet responded. “Do you just manage the studio?” she asked making conversation.

“Yeah I manage the studio” she responded. “So Mr HNFC, what do you do for a living seeing as you don’t cook?”

He decided he wasn’t going to engage with the cuckoo cracker.

“He’s the managing director at Khurana Constructions” Geet informed shooting a look over her shoulder at her husband for being impolite.

“Hot shot, got it” Taz nodded her head. “Do you sit on your throne and boss around?” she asked.

“Yeah, that’s my job” Maan replied seriously, Geet and Taz shared a look.

“You know how to be sarcastic, good on you” Taz laughed as she parked up in a bay and climbed out followed by Maan and Geet. “Stick a pound in the trolley and follow me” she told them as she pushed a pound in the trolley and pulled it out.

Maan did the same and they walked inside together…

“I’m starving” Amelia walked into the Khurana mansion and looked at Meera. “I hope there’s something nice cooked”

“Have I ever disappointed with my cooking?” Meera looked at questioningly.

“I could eat a horse right now” Amelia paused, her eyes drew to Karan sat on the other end next to Vikrant and Araina. Karan looked over at her, he looked away and she did the same.

“Dadima is here as well now” Meera said as she smiled at dadima.

“Bete why don’t you get Nakul to bring the plates here? Vikrant’s show will be coming on so it would nice to sit around and watch something together?” Dadima suggested.

“Ji dadima” Meera agreed and went into the kitchen.

“I need some water” Amelia mumbled and followed Meera into the kitchen.

“Hey, do you need anything?” Meera asked as she lifted a dish.

“No, just here to get some water” Amelia responded and grabbed a glass, Meera smiled and returned to the dining room and placed the dish down.

“You could’ve told me Karan was here” Amelia muttered hearing footsteps.

“So you could avoid me again?”

She stiffened and turned around facing him.

“You wanted space, which turned into 3 weeks of avoiding me” he looked at her.

“I… I was…”

“What’s wrong Ames?” he approached her slowly. “Why have you been avoiding me? I…” he stopped as Meera walked in to the kitchen.

Meera looked at them concerned, she grabbed another dish and walked out muttering an apology.

“Ames, talk to me” Karan touched her arm, he wanted answers.

“I’m hungry” she walked past him and joined everyone in the dining room. Karan sighed heavily brushing a hand through his hair in frustration.

“I can’t believe you have to pay for shopping bags, we bought so much yet we’ve had to pay extra to use carrier bags” Geet mumbled as they walked back towards the car.

“Government thing – to squeeze more money out of us” Taz responded with a shrug. “What have you got planned for dinner?” she asked as she unlocked the car and opened the boot.

She started placing the bags in, telling Maan to place their shopping bags into the back so it wouldn’t get mixed up.

Since when did he start listening to a woman that wasn’t his wife or dadima? Maan wondered as he placed their shopping bags into the back. He was going to do that anyway but it grated his nerves when Taz ordered about. She’d made sure they bought food that was fresh – according to her, they needed to practise making food.

Geet had lightened a little during their shopping trip and laughed whenever Taz spouted something at him, it was during those times he didn’t mind Taz saying whatever came to her mind. He still hated her.

“I’ll drop you guys off then I’ve got a cooking session” Taz informed as she climbed in.

“Could I come?” Geet asked, she hadn’t wanted to yet go home.

“Sure” Taz responded, “I’ll just drop you off then?” she looked at Maan through the rear view mirror.

“I could get a bus from here” Maan responded.

“Shopping still needs to go up and into the fridge” Taz responded. “Would you be a darling and put my stuff in my apartment?” she asked.

Maan wanted to say no but agreed seeing as she’d driven both of them to the supermarket and back. Once Taz dropped Maan off telling him where to find her spare key, she drove off towards the studio.

“Your husband’s a little intense” she stated looking over at Geet.

“He is” Geet smiled, “I like it though” she said shyly.

“You two seem like newly married couple” Taz smiled, “Which is nice, I suppose”

“How long have you been married?” Geet asked.

“6 years” Taz answered. “Going on 7”

“How long have Sanjana and Aditya been together?”

“Just over 5, Sanjana met Aditya during my wedding. Aditya was Samir’s friend and Sanjana was mine, they instantly clicked” she responded parking up and switched off the engine.

“So today, is Chef Richards. She’s loud as hell, can be an arse but one of the best chefs in this City” she informed Geet.

“I’m just curious…”

“About what?”

“What do you do? I know you manage the studio but do you just book people in or…”

“You’ll see” Taz grinned climbing out of the car and headed inside with Geet besides her.

Very second somewhere thought of baby will be there. Aditya Sanjana cute couple fighting for small things. Taz giving Maan hard time geet full enjoying her time with taz. Maan always have some weird people in life like he says. Amelia is avoiding karan to extend may be seeing geet happy people turned to sorrow. Amelia changed so much. Can see karan making efforts to make Amelia talk.

Interesting update.

Maan n geet were again driven back to their daughter's memories. Seeing her stuff they both got emotional again.

I liked the momento thing by the hospital.

That was very thoughtful. Memories of the little one to be kept.

I never knew anything of this sought is done by the hospital. It's not there in my city.

But I hope they start doing it.

I was very much touched by that idea.

Back home amelia is avoiding karan.

I wonder, what went wrong?

Taz helped maan n geet in grocery shopping.

Maan was happy seeing geet relaxed n smiling.

I guess this new neighborhood will help them overcome their loss.
