"Dadi mujy office ke kaam se US jana padega, ek bahut important project chal raha hai waha per ussi silsilye mai ek mahine ke liya jana hai," said Maan.
"Ek mahine ke liye. Maan abhi abhi toh aapki shaadi hui hai aur aap ek mahine ke lia jaa rahe hai," replied Dadi looking unhappy.
"Dadi jana toh main bhi nahi chahta hun per kya kerun KC ki reputation and good will ka sawaal hai. Waise bhi international market mai KC ki position strong kerne ke liye this project is a milestone," replied Maan.
"Theek hai Maan aap jaiye par Geet ko bhi saath le jaiye," said Dadi.
Now Maan was in a fix, jisse dur rehne ke liye jaa raha hun uuse kasie apne saath le jaun' thought Maan.
He and Geet had come up with this idea to stay away from each other as they were finding it hard to avoid their attraction towards each other. Staying in the same room and not touching each other was a torture. Even if touching and kissing was ok, still they avoided it knowing where it will lead them. So Maan told Dadi that he has to go for work to US, it wasn't a complete lie though.. There was a project of KC going in US but it didn't require him to be there for whole month. He could have sent anyone else too but he realized it's the best way to keep away from Geet.
"Main Geet ko kaise le jaa sakta hun, vo pregnant hai aur uska treatment yaha per chal raha hai. Hum treatment beech mai band nahi ker sakte," replied Maan.
Knowing that what he said was right Dadi agreed, "theek hai Maan, aap ko jo sahi lage."
Maan took a sigh of relief, "theek hai Dadi main Geet ko bata ker aata hun"
Geet was listening to the conversation behind the wall. As soon as she heard Maan saying the last sentence she ran into the room.
When Maan entered their room Geet hugged him tightly, he too reciprocated. They both knew they are going to miss each other like hell.
"Dadi maan gaayi hai," said Maan while they were still hugging each other.
"Hmm, suna maine," replied Geet sounding low.
"Eavesdropping is not good Ms. Hoshiyaarpur Express," said Maan trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Maan knew she was not happy with what they decided but they were helpless.
"Ye hmm hmm ker ke baat kerna toh meri aadat hai tum meri bhaashaa kab se bolne lagi," said Maan.
"kya kerun ab aapke saath poori zindagi bitani hai toh aapki aadat ka asar mujy bhi padega na," replied Geet coming out of the embrace.
They both smiled at each other but none of their smiles reached their eyes.
"Mai aapko bahut miss kerungi, ye sab kerna zaroori hai kya ? Aap ruk jaiye hum alag alag kamron mai reh lenge, please mat jaaiye."
"Geet please aisa mat bolo, main jaa nahi paaunga. Hum ye saari baaten discuss ker chuke hai na. ye sab bol ke tum mera jaana aur mushkil ker rahi ho. Tumhe kya lagta hai mai tumhe miss nahi kerunga."
"Haan lagta toh kuch aisa hi hai. Waha unn gori gori ladkiyo ko dekh ker toh aap mujy bhul hi jayenge. Aap..." before she could say anything else Maan locked her lips with his telling her to shut up. Geet too gave in; she knew, nothing of this sort is going to happen.
Finally letting go, they both gasped for air.
"Dobara aisa sochna bhi mat, tum jaanti ho asia kuch nahi ho sakta," said Maan.
"Hmm, please jaldi aane ki koshish keriyega. Main akele bore ho jaungi. Dadi toh hai per fir bhi aapki kami koi aur kaise poori ker sakta hai."
"Geet aise mat kaho, jitni takleef tumhe ho rahi hai utni hi takleef mujy bhi ho rahi hai per ye humare baby ke liye zaroori hai. Aur fir hum roz baat karenge na. aur maine tumhe Skype bhi chala ker dikha diya hai hum video chat bhi karenge.
Ab tum mujy packing karne mai help kerogi ?" asked Maan.
"Ye kaisa sawaal hai. In fact, aaj mai office nahi jaaungi, aap office jaa ker apna kaam wind up ker lijiye, main tab tak aapka bag pack kerdungi."
"I love you mishty"
"I love you too Maan"
They hugged once more, Maan pecked her on forehead and then left for office.
Maan went to office and completed his pending work, took all the projects details from Adi and Sasha. He told them to look into the ongoing projects in his absence and handed them their responsibilities. He told Adi to involve Geet in work but make sure that she is not burdened with work. Just enough work to keep her busy.
Once he was done with everything he left for home.

Geet with help of Dadi and servants cooked Maan's favorite cuisine, Italian. They had dinner together after which Dadi left them alone giving them some time together. Since Maan's flight was post mid night she told them that she will take some rest by then and asked them to call her before Maan leaves.
Maan and Geet were going upstairs towards their room but Geet pulled him towards terrace. Their terrace was decorated with candle lights and a table for two was set in the middle. She had told a servant to put two bowls and chocolate mousse on the table. She made Maan sit and served and fed him, he ate it savoring the dish as well as enjoying these moments with his wife before he leaves.
"Geet ye bahut hi zyada meetha hai," said Maan.
"Ho hi nahi sakta maine minimum sugar dala tha, main check kerti hun," replied Geet tasting the desert.
"Toh maine kab kaha ki dish kharab hai. Tumhare haatho se kha raha hun issliye aur bhi meetha lag raha hai"
"Maan," she said playfully hitting his hand.
Maan pulled her and made her sit on his lap. "Geet main tumhe bahut miss kerunga, pata nahi ek mahina kaise rehne wala hun tumhare bina."
He then fed her with his hand.
"Ab mujy bhi bahut sweet laga," said Geet smiling broadly, using the same trick on him.
Maan too smiled.
"Accha zara main bhi taste kerun," he said bending her neck down while staring at her lips.
"Maan ye aap kya rahe hain, hume nazdeekiya mana hai. Aap agar bhul jaate ho toh aapki nazdeeki mujy bhi bhula deti hai."
"Mujy maloom hai per main apni biwi ko chu toh sakta hun."
Geet gave in and they kissed for a long time.
To be continued.
