Part - 99
Geet is so worried..... Her world has always revolved around her daughter all these years and whenever there is something wrong with Aditi Geet feels like her lifeline is in danger...
Maan: did you check the temperature?
Geet didn't think about it....
She was just watching for other symptoms of the deadly virus that's got the whole world to a standstill.....
She is suspicious that it might be the pandamic virus....
Geet checks for the thermometer.....
Geet has got the thermometer in Aditi's kit bag....
She takes it and gives it to Maan...
Maan checks the temperature...
It's 99.2....
Geet always gets very scared whenever Aditi falls sick, even if it's just the common cold.....
Now, with the news channels and the social media flooded with the virus info, Geet is scared to death when Aditi sneezed and looked tired.....
Being a singe mother she didn't have the luxury of someone backing her, and sharing the responsibilities and worries with her....
You take the responsibility of your partner also on your shoulders unnecessarily and keep worrying for there is always a fear of losing whatever is remaining in your life, you already know the pain of losing a someone in your life and you are afraid of losing again.....
Maan can see the worries on Geet's face.....
Maan: Geet, it's just the normal cold, that's why she has got the temperature, she'll be fine
Geet: I know
Geet may say that she too agrees with Maan but her worried face shows that she is still sacred about the viral infection.....
Maan could easily read her mind.....
Maan: are you thinking about the pandamic?
Geet: nahi
Maan: I know you are thinking about that only Geet
Geet: what if it's that virus?
Maan: we are at Hosiarpur Geet, there's no virus here
Geet: but we travelled
Maan: Geet, we didn't have any contact with outsiders, I followed all the safety norms when I went to Amristar, and there is no cases here too, it has not reached this far
Geet: but Maan, she sneezes and has fever too
Maan: that's because she stayed in the pool for two days and might have drunk the water
Geet: why did you take her to the pool first of all?
Maan: so you are still keep blaming me for everything?
Geet turns and stares Maan, it's just that she is so frustrated and scared.....
Maan: who gave her the ice cream?
Geet: she always eats ice cream, that's not the probem
Maan: so I'm the problem then?
Aditi graons hearing them shout....
Both of them reach out to her to calm her.....
Geet places her hand on Aditi's chest and Maan is a frction of a second late as his hand lands on Geet's....
Maan holds Geet's hand tight.....
Maan: Geet, she'll be fine
Geet: I hope so
Geet's voice is broken....
Maan: Geet, what's this?
Maan lifts her chin.....
Maan: look into my eyes Geet
Geet looks into his eyes....
Maan: Aditi is fine, believe me Geet
Geet gets a little convinced and trusts Maan for a change....
Maan: let her rest, she'll be fine in the morning
Aditi coughs....
Geet is scared again....
Maan goes and gets her hot water to drink....
Aditi then feels more comfortable and sleeps well.....
Maan takes Geet's hands into his.....
Maan: Geet, I promise you, Aditi ko kuch nahi hoga, mein usse kuch nahi hone doonga, MSK kabhi usse kuch nahi hone dega, tum usski fikar mar karo Geet, mein hoon na?
Geet wants to believe in his words again, this time he'll keep his promise for it's his daughter.....
Maan: tum bhi din bar kaam karke tak gayi ho Geet, ab thode dher aaram karo, I'll keep a watch on Aditi
Maan makes Geet lie down near Aditi as he helps her cover with herself....
Maan sits near them and watches them.....
Geet couldn't sleep though.....
She too keeps looking at Aditi every few seconds....
Maan: Geet, so jao
Maan too lies beside her and snuggles up to Geet to make her feel safe.....
Geet needed the warmth of his soft touch and she finally falls asleep....
Next morning Maan is still sleeping as he was up till early morning.....
Geet checks Aditi's temperature and it's still around 99....
It's ok as Aditi is up and is asking for ice cream.....
Geet: Aditi, drink this first, Geet made a khada for Aditi from the herbs in the garden, she asked her beeji for the instructions
Aditi is not ready to even touch the glass.....
Aditi: Aditi ko nahi chahiye
Maan wakes up hearing the noise....
Maan thinks that something is wrong with Aditi....
He gets up in a shock.....
Maan: Geet, kya hua? muje kyun nahi utahay tumne?
Geet: Maan, relax, Aditi is fine
Maan: did you check the temperature?
Geet: it's 99 only
Maan: what? still 99?
Now Maan is worried..... Geet has got the confidence that it's the usual cold that Aditi often catches....
Geet: it'll be like that for 3 days Maan, as you said it's just the ice creams
Maan wonders what changed Geet's mind overnight....
Geet forgets all her worries with Maan around and also Aditi is feeling much better after the night's sleep.....
Maan: what made you change your mind Geet?
Geet: woh aap Aditi se hi poocho? Aditi beta, aapko kya chahiye?
Aditi: Aditi ko ice cream chahiye
Geet: Aditi, pehle isse piyo, phir ice cream
Maan: ye kya hai Geet?
Geet: khada
Maan: kya?
Geet: aap jaldhi brush karke aao, aap ka kadha bhi tayaar hai
Maan: what? I'm not sick Geet
Maan didn't even like the smell of it.....
Geet: Aditi, aap pehle piyo
Maan runs to his room....
Geet is wating with the khada....
Maan thinks it's his back coffee and gets the mug from Geet happily....
The moment he looks into the mug his amusement dies.....
Geet: Maan, bache ki tarah bahave mat karo, peejao
Maan: Geet, isse kaise peethe?
Geet: aaise
Geet drinks her kadha in one go....
Maan: ab jaan liya ki tum itne kadvi kaise hui?
Geet: kya?
Maan: ye bahut kadvi hai Geet
Geet: aankh band karke peeyo, phir aap ko kadwahat patha nahi chalega
Maan: ye kaisi logic hai Geet, i don't have a problem with the color
Geet: try karo Maan
Maan does it and it really works.... you try to concentrate on closing your eyes tight when you gulp your kadha in one go....
Maan stays with Aditi while Geet prepares everything for Aditi....
Maan cooks the meal for them.....
Geet likes it to have Maan handy helping her....
She didn't know that Maan could do so much.....
Aditi gets well in three days as Geet expected .....
Maan escapes from the kadha finally......
Geet is slowly getting addicted to having Maan alongside 24*7.....
That's not possible when they go back to their own lives, haina?
Geet is worried that she won't be able to go back to her previous self if she stays close with Maan for a few more days....
she is already feeling the need to look for Maan just for anything and everything.... it's not good, haina?
she has to do something now to stop this before it get's out of her hands......
Next morning Maan is ready for the jogging....
Geet is immediately worried thinking about the time when they have to go back to their own lives...
what would they do if they were in Mumbai?
Geet has at least kept herself unaffected to some extent... But what about Maan? He'll unnecessarily get hurt....
Geet has to set a limit to all this... Jaise ke laxman rekha hotha na? It's for the good of Maan only... Just to make sure that it doesn't get too complicated for them....
Maan ne toh pehle hi sara limits cross kar liya hai, ab kaunsa limit ki baat kar rahi ho Geet?
Geet is not afraid of the physical attraction of any kind for that's much easy to handle, it's the emotional attachment and dependency that leads to a lot of pain and hurt...
Geet has got all the sore experience that she knows when to pull the strings.... Haina? Ab toh Maan ka bhi sara controls Geet ke paas hi hotha hai.... Maan ne apna app ko rokhne ki koshish kab ka chod diya hai, aur woh rokhna bhi nahi cahtha....
