The restlessness and anxiety didn't let her sleep all night... Her mom informed her that maan would be coming to pick her up next day... she was exited like a kid for a school trip!
Though she was dreading the moment she would face him after all she had done but she couldn't explain her anxiety too... their was a constant shy smile on her lips n her eyes glowing chewing her pallu looking at the mirror hundredth time if she had put on weight thanks to her mom...
Frowning the next moment cribbing to her babaji. .. for stuffing her with so much food in a week. .. she got up with a huff.. making a face... She looked at her room... it was complete mess... with clothes scattered around... books, magazines. .. empty cool drink bottles. .. chocolate wrappers. .. and what not!
What if he comes into her room... oh babaji!
It was 1 in the night n she was too lost to notice that time... panicked she started cleaning up her bed folding her clothes she opened her wardrobe n stuffed them in... when she turned back to get the remaining the one's already in the wardrobe crumbled down. .. looking at the mess she had created big fat tears rolled down her eyes. ..
She fell down on the heap of clothes n started crying for being so clumsy... After pouring her frustration out she composed herself n set everything alright. .. it was wee hours in the morning that he completed cleaning her room dumping the old bed spread for washing n replacing it with the new one she fell on the bed to take a quick nap before doing the rest work!
Day started with a new zeal for both for her it was son in law visiting for the first time after wedding...
N for him it was a whole different story all together!
Getting ready in his best available dress making sure he was looking decent enough he walked out of the guest house towards his jeep whistling some random tune...
As the government office would open late he made his way towards her college... to have a glimpse of her!
He was skimming through the crowd of students when he felt someone tap his shoulder!
Turning around he came face to face with the object of his interest!
Ummm hi... Are u by any chance looking for me??
Huh??
I mean I hurt you yesterday are you here to complain about me... look if you're here for that then I'm really sorry n it was just an accident!
She looked so confident from outside n was scared like a rabbit from in... It was so very easy to read her face which gave all her feelings away..
Clearing his throat... he looked away from her as this was the first time he was talking to a girl whom he hardly knew. ..
See miss..
Aanchal mishra!
Hmm...Aanchal I'm not here to complain or something. ... I just wanted to talk to you... if u don't mind that is...
Sure it is not related to yesterday's event??
Yes
Ok then... girls meet u all in the class...
One of the girls pulled her n whispered something in her ears looking at him to which they giggled n shared a hi five
After they left she turned towards him giving him a small smile gestured him to lead..
Aanchal! She belonged to a upper middle class family... was simple n a fun loving girl.. unlike geet she was jovial n made friends more easily... so it came more easy in her to trust every one...
Seated in a coffee shop they started talking on all the random topics laughing n arguing sometimes... she even accompanied him to the govt office while he finished his work... time flew by n it was evening already
Exchanging no.s he bid her bye n left to the guest house to pack his bags...
Freshening up he looked in his phone which was on silent mode... n had a couple of missed calls
There were few from his home one from Geet n one from Ajit.. ignoring the rest he called home to know if everything was fine or they needed something from the city. ...
After hearing a good lecture from his dadi for his careless behavior he was informed that he was expected to visit his in laws today to pick geet!
Mentally smacking himself he assured them that he would go there directly n return back with their daughter in law...
It was already evening the sun was about to set when her mother called her asking her to get ready!
Not again she thought rolling her eyes... thinking atleast she would get a proper answer from her mom she pulled her mom to her room... n made her sit on the bed... placing her head in her lap she asked that one question which was bugging her for a while now
Mom y do u want me to get ready for??? U know even maa used to ask me to get ready every evening I thought there might be some occasion or guests but nothing like that used to happen. ..
Geet are u really that dumb??
Mom!
Ok..ok.. it's actually simple beta we want you to look fresh when maan would see u...
Huh?
Didn't get it right. .. see men of our house work whole day out deal with things make sure we have a peace full life away from tensions he faces out side the house. .. Even though we do a have a house n lots of things to look after but it would only be after him.. when he comes home all tired n worn out from work n sees u all messed up n shabby cribbing n complaining about everything silly thing... imagine what he would feel...
If it's your dad he would run away from house in pretext of some or other work!
It's only a wife who can take away all his worries with one tender smile. ..
Geet for every man his mother might be the top priority but without the support of his wife the whole family crumbles like a pack of cards..
N I'm very proud of you beta... for accepting maan... I was really scared for your reaction on knowing his qualifications but you really made us happy... maan has a heart of gold beta when we were asked for ur hand for maan... Even though I had second thoughts... thinking about you... ur papa was so sure that his daughter would never let him down!
Always be happy beta... I know maan will take care of u... but if possible try n take care of him too...
Mom!
Enough now go get ready ur husband might be here any moment!
Mom please. ... she said trying to hide her face from her mom
Babaji. .. my Geet is blushing. ..now this is a news... let me share it with your dad!
Mom leave... she said pushing her mother out of her room n shutting it behind her back hiding her face in her palms
Laughing loudly at her daughter she made her way to the kitchen for the last minute preparations!
With the moist air... feel the beginning of a new season... beginning of a new love story!
To be continued. ...
Hay pep!
Maa tho is like that once she starts then babaji only knows when she'll stop😆
Jo bhi ho I love my maa❤️
