PART 6:
She placed her hand on the mouth, holding herself ... Maan felt he will just drown in her eyes. Geet shook her head very reluctantly and then looked away, kuch nahi ... She managed to say not wanting to tell him the actual reason ... Maan was not pleased ... bataogi nahi toh samjhonga kaise?? She still stood numb not wanting to share her pain with him ... Geet I promise ill respect your likes, your dislikes, your family, I know it wouldn't be easy on you to accept the new life but for that you don't need to change yourself ... Kuch acha na lage toh mujhse toh kamse kam kehna padega after all we are ...
He paused unable to voice, while Geet sucked a breath ... Her senses tingled when he stopped not being able to comment what they were. They walked into the fields with the silence lingered around. He didn't feel bad that she was hesitating ... Infact Maan wanted to wipe away that stall from her. He followed her not asking where they were going ... after sometime he saw a small shed ... Aap yaha rukiya, main abhi aayi, She didn't wanted him to come inside with so much of dirt spread around. She held the lamb in her arms and walked out to show it to him.
Yeh Gauri hai, Maa ne kaha tha ki isse mujhe dur karna hoga ... Her eyes turned teary confessing it to Maan. He didn't ask her further, Maan caressed the lamb lovingly, can I hold him?? He seek her permission looking at her.
She gave it to him, it was so cute and so small ... How old is it??
Woh two months, she replied not daring to look at Maan.
Like I said earlier, you don't need to be formal with me ... aise hi rehna jaise tum apne papaji ke saath rehti ho, she blinked her eyes couple of times taking in his words. She wondered how well he was understanding her and her love for her papaji. Geet was falling for him madly, this man was really someone who was actually made by God just for her!! Not that this was a simple gesture of him but it was something beyond she could explain. The respect she was getting from him was what she was expecting, she was lost in adoring him.
They went back home, Maan didn't try to make Geet talk ... He wanted to give her time to adjust herself. The drive was silent and she was literally holding herself from jumping ... She likes him, she wanted to hold him once and make sure he was hers actually.
The car stopped at the destination, Geet saw Maan who came around to open the door for her. His gestures were making her feel special, she stepped out and followed him staring at his back, admiring him.
Itni jaldi aagaye tum dono?? Tara made a disappointing face like she expected them to spend some more time. Maaneet couldn't say anything ... The evening passed away as they got busy planning for their family outing in their next meeting.
Maan got indulged with his phone calls and emails while Geet stuck to her room remembering the moments she spent with Maan. She laid on the bed blushing, she could still feel him touching her hand ... looking at her wrist she gulped hard. She caressed it trying to feel his hand on it,
She could see a genuine person in him just like the way her father told about him ... She could see him as a perfect life partner. She inhaled sharply while her eyes twinkled, Yeh tumhare papaji jaise hain Geet, she turned pink when his eyes bore deep into her melting her insides. She could actually see God in him ... millions of butterflies danced in her stomach with the way his hand held hers.
Geet straightened up after she heard Rajji's talks, then she saw her papaji entering her room. She set herself on the bed a gave a smile ... Mohinder sat beside her.
Aapko Maan pasand hai?? Mohinder caressed her hair, kissing her forehead ... She thought about how to describe her feelings, how to tell him what she was seeing in that man. She hugged her papaji making him understand her approval. He patted her back lovingly, kitna pasand aaye Maan aapko?? He asked trying to know what she was taking him to be.
Mujhe unme sirf aap nazar aaye papaji ... Mohinder was shocked that his daughter had given Maan a placed which he could never think of. For Geet he was a God and when she could say the same to another man it could be only her Sawariya he thought. He felt so happy, he knew that she will have a great life which he too wanted ... He wanted Geet to remain unaffected getting close to Maan even after knowing the truth of her birth.
They descended down and had a final talk, while Geet was still busy in her world. She couldn't look at Maan, acha ab hum chalte hai ... bohut raat ho chuki hai .. Dadima stood up asking them permission to leave. Ayan smiled at Geet ... Chachi hamare saath nahi chalegi?? He questioned hopefully as he liked her very much.
Abhi nahi ... lekin unko aana hi padega, Maan chahu leke aayenge godhi mein uthake ... Tara replied giving Geet a jewellary box who was turning pink ... Yeh tumhare liye Geet, this will not match your beauty but treat this as a gift from your sister ... Ab toh hum dono behen hue ne?? Geet got emotional and hugged her, this much love in just a day ... she hasn't expected. She only had her parents and sister on the name of relations. Joint family ... was a dream, she wanted one though she couldn't have one, but never asked her father why they stayed away from other family even when they had so many people whom she could relate them as hers.
Hamari aadat daallo ... ill keep calling you Geet, baat karti rahongi, she then turned to look at Maan and said ... Maan se bhi call karvaongi kyunki mujhe pata hai jab tak koi tum dono ko baat karvayega nahi tab tak tum baat nahi karoge ... Maan looked away feeling cornered while Geet smiled hiding herself in Tara's embrace.
Waise Geet ... We have a party next week, tumhe aana hoga ... its for you, sabko pata bhi toh chalna chahiye ki Maan kisse shaadi kar raha hai ... This was what we were discussing a while ago ... aise hi engagement ho gayi aur kisi ko pata nahi hua
Geet nodded agreeing to her ... And ya I have few things to discuss with you, jab tum waha ajaogi toh hum baat karenge, saying she walked to leave.
Maan geet ... tum dono ko ek dusre se kuch bolna hai?? Dadima nudged Maan like trying to bid a proper bye to Geet. The whole family came out leaving the couple alone ... woh ... main ... he rubbed his temple thinking what he will tell her.
Apna khayal rakhna, Geet spoke in a low tone casting her eyes down. Maan bit his lips in excitement, hmmm he nodded.
Tum bhi ... Woh, this is my personal phone, I don't use this much I have another one ... tum yeh lelo, hum baat karenge
I have mine phir yeh kyun?? As she stared at him thinking how is she supposed to accept he said ... You have a right now, we are engaged
She took the phone and ran away making him fida on her shyness.
Precap: Welcome Party!!😉
