Mg SS- It Takes Two...THREAD #2 - Page 13

Geet gve her a weak smile and nooded, not knowing what to reply. She recalled all these days of their arguments...their fights..their masti with annie..and suddenly everything seemed to crumble down.

Dadima looked for maan and found him in his study, lost in something. she sat on the couch and aleared her throat gaining his attention.

"ji dadima...kuch kaam tha.?"

"is there something you want to talk? About...geet?", she carefully put forward her question. Maan couldn't believe dadima knew all this. But he was relieved..he wanted someone right now and dadima seemed to be the best person as of now.

He sat on the floor and rested his head on her lap. Dadima smiled and caressed his head, "now tell us son...what is it that bothers you.."

He sighed and closed his eyes, "she makes me so restless dadima... I just can't think of anything beyond her... she affects me every possible way and when I try to confront her about the same, she runs away. I know she feels for me dadima.. she is the one.. but I don't know what to do.."

Dadima smiled...she had initially thought of telling maan about Geet being his wife but seeing him so confused she thought otherwise, "get a grip on your heart and first decide what do you actually feel for her and then confront her. may be she will understand then."

Dadima got up to leave confusing maan all the more. He held her hand, "I..i didn't get you dadima.."

Dadima smiled and walked away, "someone had rightly said"Love is like a war, easy to begin but very hard to stop."

He just stood there, wondering if dadima left him with a hint.

Geet was sitting in her room, lost in her thoughts. Annie came in shouting, "geeett...i need help..."

Geet smiled weakly, umm bolo..."

Annie looked at her pale face, "tum theek ho? Kya hua? Maan bhai ne kuch kaha kya?"

Geet sighed..no wonder everyone knows about them in the house. annie was worried. She sat beside Geet and cupped her face, "Geet..batao na... I know you like him so very much."

Geet looked at her, amazed, "annie...how..."

Annie smiled, "tumhari aankhon se jhalakta hain. You care for him a lot...now please don't be upset. Bhai is always a stubborn ass...", she winked.

"umm..waise tumhe help chahiye thi right..."

"arrey han..i forgot. Geet..can you please please please lend me your red top..i will be going to a friend's party and theme is red.. I don't have anything particularly red...ohh yeah I forgot to mention, dadima is looking for you..go. she is in her room."

Geet stood up, "umm... okay its in my cupboard take it from there.."

"alright.. and yes, bhai is just your deewana darling..give him a chance..", she winked and got to the cupboard. Geet didn't even want to think of this man now. she didn't reply and straightaway walked towards dadima's room. She knocked and entered and saw her looking into her cupboard.

"ji aapne bulaya dadima?"

Dadima turned around with a big smile on her face, Geet...sit beta.. we have something for you..."

Geet wondered what it was and was stunned to see dadima presenting her a deep blue brasso sari, with silver border, glittering in the light., "its so beautiful dadima...", she spoke caressing her hand over the fabric.

"and this is for you..."

Geet was surprised, "for me?? Dadima..why?."

"arrey aap bhool gayin? Geet..pasron aapka pehla karwachauth hain beta..."

Annie looked into Geet's wardrobe, searching for her deep red top. she looked further into the wardrobe when something slipped from the shelf and fell on her feet.

"uff..geet...what have you stuffed here...', she spoke, exasperated!

She bend to pick up the thing that was on her feet and was stunned to see the mangalsutra in her hands!! It struck her... Geet was married!! Oh god..how can she forget...geet was married!! It took some time to let the feel sink in and a bigger fear gripped her heart"her bhai!!!

"you are looking so beautiful darling..", dadima complimented as she put the kala tika behind her ears.

"technically we should have gifted you a red sari but this one just took our breath away and we were very true that it will be the best for you. But no worries, we got the red one as well..."

Geet didn't know what to do... it will be her first karwachauth and it was supposed to be special. But with maan being so indifferent, she didn't know whether she was going to the right way. She stood in front of the mirror, correcting her sari when her eyes fell on dadima, looking for water. Her jug was empty and she probably wanted to have her medicine.

"rukiye dadima.. mein le aati hun.." she rushed out with the jug.

Annie felt the corner of her eyes burn...her bhai will be so heart broken. All these days he had been craving for the woman who could never be his. And then suddenly a rage filled her heart... why couldn't Geet stop this in the first place? She could have told maan not to get involved since she was married... her bhai wouldn't be as hurt as he will be now.

Geet was filling the jug in the kitchen when a warm hand slid across her bare waist, making her almost drop the jug. His warm breath fanned her skin and she didn't have to look to realize that it was him. his stubble brushed across her cheek, making her moan, "aahh..maan.."

Her entire being trembled with such proximity. He shouldn't be doing this...not now!!! maan didn't listen.. rather he held her tight in his embrace, with his lips gently gliding over her nape. After dadima left, he fell on the couch with a deep thought wondering what dadima had spoken. He thought hard on what his true feelings were...and then realized dadima had already answered his question so simply"Love is like a war, easy to start but difficult to end. He had been in love with this woman ever since he had his eyes set on her. he had walked out to finally confront her when he saw her in that saree... probably his dream girl landing right in front of him. her almost bare back... fair and gleaming like silk. He couldn't stop himself..especially after what he realized.

She felt like a tender feather in his arms... his one hand held her tight around her waist while the other caressed her bare back earning yet another moan from her.

"maan... let me go..", she tried to struggle, breathing heavily. She was trembling.. with fear with anticipation and with her own feelings.

"no I wont... tumhe aaj meri baat sunni hogi.."

"nahi... dadima mera wait kar rahi hain..jane dijiye mujhe..", her eyes welled up. This was getting so damn difficult...so painful.

"you have to listen to me..", he breathed in sharply, turned her to face him, holding her still, "I love you..."

A gasp of bewilderment escaped her lips hearing those words from him. she could have died of happiness had things been different but this was wrong. So wrong on the part of his wife!!

"you can't...", she took a step back.

He extended his hand to hold her, "Why Geet? bahut pyaar karta hun tumse..."

"no..you can't..just can't maan...", she cried and ran towards dadima's room.

Annie marched towards dadima's room holding the mangalsutra..it was time to confront Geet and ask her why she even encouraged this when she really knew maan felt deep for her.

Dadima got worried seeing Geet crying. she asked what the matter was and Geet just buried her face in her lap, crying her heart out, "mujhse aur nahi hoga dadima... bahut takleef ho rahi hain.."

Dadima's eyes welled up seeing her favourite child so broken. Before she could say anything, annnie barged in and pulled Geet towards her, angrily. Geet was startled with this rude behaviour of annie's. She quickly wiped her tears, "annie kya bat hain?"

Blinded by her love for her brother annie failed to see those tearful eyes and just screamed at her, "how dare you play with the feelings of my brother han Geet? didn't you feel any shame?"

Geet was too shocked to hear that coming from annie. Her broken heart almost broke once more, "annie...ye kya keh rahi ho?"

Annie threw the mangalsutra at her which fell on her feet, "you are married right... you knew bhai likes you but still you went ahead in this... "

Geet recognised her mangalsurta and quickly picked it up, holding it close to her heart. she'd never disrespect it it, no matter what.

"nahi annie tum galat soch rahi ho..."

ohh shut up Geet...i thought you were my best friend. but you...chi... never thought you could stoop so low. No wonder your husband left you like this..."

She felt her heart beat stop right there... she didn't want to be reminded of that moment... but matter where she goes, her past seems to follow her like a dark shadow.

Dadima had had enough. She couldn't bear annie accusing Geet of something she hadn't done.

"annie.. be in your limits..."

"but dadima..don't see.. she is playing with bhai's feelings. Kitni giri hui ladki hain..being married and still..."

"annie shut up...", dadima had actually lost her patience, "is this the way to talk to your sister-in-law?"

"dadima don't...sister..what?", annie went dumb hearing dadima..geet was what?? She looked at Geet and then back at dadima, "what are you saying?"

"yes...we're saying the truth. You remember maan's marriage... well for your kind information that stupid village girl you mentioned is Geet... your bhabhi is Geet...geet's husband whom you hate is none other than your own brother...so stop being disrespectful because we wont bear anything against our bahu.."

Annie's hands fell on her sides with the turn of events, "Geet...bhabhi??"
