Part 35

Life was finally turning out to be the way, he had only dreamed off. By God grace, he got everything a man needs to be satisfied with his life venture. A successful business, a happy family that he has created with his naughty sister and faithful friends and last but not the least, his lifelong dream- his best friend who is now his wife too. He finally know the real meaning of feeling complete. Yes! She completes him. In each way, he never ever knew off. If he is a burning day, she is the peaceful night. That's how much their personalities contradicts but then, that's the real Perfect part too.

It has been two days to that eventful night which had made them unite. Just two days off their real intimacy in which there was no more hesitation, reluctance, unease and he already feels top of the world. If there first night together was all about passion, the second was all about protection & care. He had carefully kept her in his arms the whole time and each moment, he had thanked his Lord for blessing him with all these seconds of togetherness. Though he couldn't forget her earlier naughtiness when after getting back home late last night due to two consecutive long meetings and found her sleeping in HER room. Wicked Lady. He couldn't help but shake his head before marching to her bed and gathering her up in his arms. The smile etched on her face even in sleep make him wonder. If she was actually thinking of his reaction on see her laying back in here before she was surrounded by sleep. Beaming himself, he moved her into his bed, changed into his night suit, draw the curtains even of the connecting doors after assuring that they are locked before he made his way into the bed and switched off side lamp diminishing even the last ray of light to fall on her. He wanted no one to witness the sweetness of this scene. Just Him & Her.

And now, looking down at her as the sun rays pour in, he wish and hoped to have million more such seconds to praise the above Lord. The morning was turning sweeter as found her arms snaking around his waist, her nose nuzzling into his sweatshirt before she found a comfortable position and settled down. Her legs were falling on his. The innocent look, the purity of her skin not to mention the smoothness, her fragrance. Her half face covered with her long tresses, everything about her was making him love her even more. Pushing the hairs away, he bent forward and placed a kiss, letting his lips linger. The kiss was all about affection and care. Her lids moved before she opened her eyes and graced him with a beautiful stretched smile. "Morning". Her morning rasped voice. "Best Morning..." he murmured before settling down against her with a sigh. She ran her fingers in his hairs once before asked with a cheeky tone. "How did I get here?" And he smiled. Looking up, he noticed her ever so naughty eyes shining just like the way they used to do in there school days. His Geet was getting back to her original self. "Never try that again Geet... Now, this is your room, this is our bed and this is your very one and only husband who will not let any doors or walls get between him and you..." He warned with a wink making her giggle. "Just one and only?". She asked cutely making him move up and get her under himself. "Just one...Only one...Only yours as you are mine..." He claimed and pecked her lips, making her sigh with close eyes, but nothing could waver that smile off her face. "I love you..." Maan whispered as she opened her eyes and replied. "Me too...This is the best morning ever...". "May be it was the kiss that made it the best...let's try that again..." He murmured bending down aiming her lips with a grin as she giggled and pushed him to the side.

Her mobile beeped making her know about the messages she was getting. Switching it on, she checked and gave a happy squeal. "OH my God!" "What is it?" Maan inquired who was about to get off to start his day. "See...My batch mate in university...she just got married last night...Dhruv is sharing her bridal photoshoot pics...how pretty she is looking?" She replied scrolling through the pics as Maan too watched it along with her. "This one is the perfect for a portrait size picture that Neetu can hang in her room...Isn't it?" She looked at Maan who couldn't help but agree. Definitely the picture was an awesome click. But then his whole focused turned to Geet who was sighing, gasping and squealing at the few pics. I have made her miss on to that kind of happiness. He felt guilty once again.

Geet was still taking a bath after shifting her toiletries into his/their bathroom when Maan made his way down. He had to catch Annie alone and thankfully, she was just settling down after grabbing an apple and newspaper, calling Rupa to bring in her coffee and breakfast. "Annie...I need to talk to you...". Maan said quickly and grabbing the chair next to her settled down. "Yes bhai...what is it...?". "Are you free today?". He inquired beforehand. "Ummm...just had a bride's fitting session at 7 in the evening...Till then I am pretty free...Perks of owning a business" Annie and after being satisfied, Maan discussed his plan. Annie and he were about to share a secret. A secret that Geet doesn't have to know till the right time. Maan earlier wanted to plan it all on his own but now, he couldn't proceed without Annie's help. Time was short and he had planned few things on which only Annie could help him. With each detail discussed and explained, Annie's eyes brightened up in excitement. "So are you two together?" She couldn't help but ask at the end of their discussion. Mischievousness was completely visible in her tone. But Maan knew, he had to put boundaries. It was awkward for him to discuss about his love life with his sister or friends. So keeping his voice plain, he looked back at Annie and replied seriously. "We are good. Fortunately, she now loves me too but ahead of it, I don't want to discuss our relationship with anyone Annie..." "Bhai..." Annie too turned serious on hearing his tone. "Relationships are changing... Till she was just a friend of mine, of your...I kept you in loop as you deserved it being her best friend...but her relationship with me as my wife, I won't share." He said clearly. May be he was rude but this was Annie with whom he was talking. He knew she will understand and besides, he so won't like discussing such stuff. Talking to your wife about your siblings or friends is a different thing than talking to your siblings or friends about your wife. There, Annie knew her brother too and totally appreciate the possessiveness and care he held for Geet. And him claiming his rights as her husband without any care, clearly showed that they have reached that level of understanding where they no longer need a push. "I understand bhai...and I really am happy for both of you". Leaning forward, she held his hand in assurance. "Thank you..." Maan uttered. "But beside all that, You and Me will not change...Never ever..." He assured with honesty as Annie gave her happy BIG WALA smile and hugged him.

Geet followed down not much later and greeted Annie before making her way into the kitchen to get breakfast. In minutes, the table was set and she was seated right beside Maan. While munching on her bread while holding the newspaper, Annie couldn't help but notice the little interaction between the duo. She noticed how Geet served him with care and her bhai's eyes were just for her. Whether it was buttering up a slice for him or pouring the tea, Geet helped him performing the duties of a true wife and make Annie sigh in happiness. They deserve this was her last thought as she made her way out the door.

Finishing the monthly performance review meeting with his hotel's shareholders and managers, Maan made his way towards his cabin when he received a Whatapp message.

"Pink or Yellow..." The message said along with two pics of dresses making him feel flustered. But then, he had called this all on himself.

"Pink" Maan replied after thoroughly reviewing the dresses.

"OK"

*2 minutes later***

"This Black or Blue one" Another one followed, showing picture of two skirts this time.

"Blue" He typed and sent.

Furthermore many messages followed on but today, instead of getting angry and saying, "Who is the designer?" He politely replied to all the messages.

"Ok bhai, everything is done... :D" Annie's last message followed before she signed off and he took a deep breath.

Leaning back on his chair, Maan rolled the mobile in his hand, mentally making a note of things and whispered. "Something is still left and I have to figure that out myself" and with that he started to search online.

Geet on other hand was enjoying all the attention and care that now, her husband was showering on her. Gone were the days of just friendship. Gone were the days of his hard exterior. Whatever she was seeing of him, from him was something all new. With other, he was just the same old Maan, the strict business man. But when is with her, he became someone that is just reserved for her. More passionate, more intense, more soft. It was not all about Intimacy. It was about the way he was keeping it connected on the emotional level. His soft caresses will even make her feel loved and left her shuddered and so will his eyes. She was now understanding the real meaning of being in love. And that make her remember her sister's long lecture on love. She was missing her as she has moved out two days back. Grabbing her cell, she quickly made a call just to find an annoyed Shaina on the other side. "Geet...I am so craving for something sweet and here, see...this Aryan is not letting me have even an inch of it" She complained. "Yes, and do tell her how high your sugar level was last night...Doctor has strictly ordered to not touch it even for next three days" Aryan could be heard at the back who was having a week off just so he can arrange his home well as per Shaina's instructions. Geet heard him and giggled. "Why don't you come over tonight at dinner along with uncle aunty...They haven't been here since they came to Delhi...And beside that, I will make sure your favorite Chocolate cake is there on the table". "Wow really..." Shaina squealed in pure joy and arranged the meeting. Then without consulting Aryan, knowing that a straight NO will come her way, she made her way out to inform Aryan parents about the dinner. Right from that moment, as Geet went into kitchen, she could only make her way out just half an hour before the guests were expected. Though Rupa tried to help her but today, Geet wanted to do things her way. They were Shaina's in laws and beside, Maan too consider them like his parents. They had been that helping hand, that encouraging pat when Maan needed it the most and today, she realized, she will not meet them in any other way than as Maan's wife. She needs to make an impression.

The dinner was a success. Right from starters till the promised Chocolate cake as dessert, which was made with a sugar free cake recipe, everything was praised by one or another. As they settled later sipping on their hot coffee, Aryan parents presented them with a gift that was consist on small rounded Gold tops. "Aunty, What was the need of this? You are hear...Your blessings and prayers are all what we need..." Geet tried to push the gift back into Aryan's mom hand who restricted her at once. "Geet...it's a tradition...When you see your daughter-in-law's face for the first time, You have to give something...Maan is not less than a son...and so we will never make comparisons between you two too". She said pointing at Geet and Shaina who just smiled and hugged her in a tight grip. "Thank you..." She could just whispered. To her, it was looking that time was moving on a reverse mode after Maan's arrival. Before, she lost everything, her father, her friends, then another father figure, her mother and last but not the least, was on verge to lose her sister but now, she is getting everything back. Her friends addition with a brotherly figure like Aryan, her sister who would even call her late at 2 just cause she was not feeling well and wanted her to hear her out. Parents figures like Aryan's parents and then, an amazing husband like her Maan. As she fell into the bed fully exhausted, she could only feel content and happy. Blessed.


"Annie...are you done?" Maan whispered in the lightest of his tone just to see Annie whispering back, "One minute bhai..." and she pressed the bag, zipped it up before making her way out with the hand carry. "I have carefully kept everything in order so nothing to worry about...All the best bhai...wish you a happy journey and an amazing time" Moving up on her toes, she kissed Maan's cheek before she made her way towards her room with a wide smile. "Annie..." He called, making her stop and turn with a raise brow. "Take care of yourself in my absence ok...Now even after Aryan has moved out...I can't ask anyone to be strict with you when it concerns your eating habits" He frowned making Annie smile. "Bhai, I am grown up now...Don't worry..." Annie assured. "No...I can't ever stop getting worried about you...That's why, I have asked Rahul to stay here till I am away...Atleast I can count on him to make sure that you are upto not any non-sense". Maan warned, making her know that No late night parties are allowed in his absence but Annie's mind was struck on Rahul staying over thing. "Annie...are you hearing me out?" Maan asked making her alert and she quickly wiped off that grin which was about to make an appearance. "Yes bhai...I heard you...N I promise to be a good girl...don't worry.." Annie assured him and turn back to her room. As soon as the door closed, she couldn't help but jump in Joy. "Bhai, who need parties when he will be staying over...OMG...I love you bhai..." She jumped into the bed with excitement and quickly dialed Rahul's number. They needed to make plans.

Having everything setup the way he wanted, Maan changed into his khakis and a white sweat shirt. Looking up at the clock that was striking 3:30am, he tapped his hands and get into the bed to wake up his sleeping beauty. "Geet..." He nudged her shoulder slowly but irrespective to that, Geet didn't bother. Smiling seeing her calm face, he once again called her but this time almost shook her shoulders with both hands. "Geet...Geet...Get up na yaar". A frown appear on her delicate face before her blurred eyes opened. "Get up...Get up..." She shoved his hands away. "What is it Maan? Let me sleep...I am too tired" She whined and pulled up the blanket to cover her face while snuggling more with pillow. "Come on Geet...Wake up...I want to go on a long drive..." He said just to see her making a whining sound. "At this time?" She questioned. "Yes...right now..." He was adamant and that made her look back with a sleepy pouting face. "We can go tomorrow night...I am too tired to accompany you..." She hoped that he will forget about the drive and rather sleep like normal people. "I always had thought, have dreamed of these things over the years...And I want you to be there with me" Was it a request, an order or a plea, Geet was unable to understand but no matter what, she couldn't say NO altogether to him. "I might will be sleeping the whole time of drive..." She put forward her last argument to which he smiled and cupped her face. "I just want your presence beside me...". She scrunched her eyes before giving into his smile and nod. "Ok...let me just freshen up..." Agreeing, she get out from the bed, rolled up her hairs in a messy bun, securing it with a catcher that was placed of the side table till a moment back before making her way to the bathroom. Maan smiled and felt guilty too. He knew it was unfair to wake her up like this but then, the whole surprise will be spoiled in the day light. He grabbed her cell and pushed that into his pocket before he took out a shawl for her. Winters were slowly arriving and knowing that she surly will be sleeping on the way, he took every precaution to make this journey too easy for her.


As expected, Geet was off to a deep slumber just in minutes after the drive started on. Maan felt sorry but then, he didn't want things to be another way. Stopping the car at a side, he got out and rounded the car to stand beside passenger door. Carefully, he opened the door and adjusted the seat in an almost laying position, tucked a traveling pillow under her head and then, could not help but caress her hairs that were getting out from the messy bun. Making the shawl cover her up correctly, he closed the door as quietly as possible before making his way back into his seat and restarting their journey. Excitement, anticipation, hope, all were making his heart flinch. Adjusting the lights on the road, he switched on the CD player and tuned in the soft song.

Hmm.. hmm...

Dehleez pe mere dil ki
Jo rakhe hain tune kadam
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum

Haan seekha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena
Haan seekha maine jeena mere humdum
Na seekha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na seekha jeena tere bina humdum

Dehleez pe merey dil ki
Jo rakhe hain tune kadam
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum

Haan sikha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena
Haan sikha maine jeena, mere humdum
Na sikha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na sikha jeena tere bina humdum

Hmmm.. hmmm..

Maan remembered there moments from the past. The first time, he saw her after years.The first time, she laid her eyes on him without acknowledging his identity. The way, she searched her madly into the mall when Aryan and Rahul made a fake announcement. When she got to know him, when they talked. The remorseful look from the wedding till the time, he was finally able to make her blush in that swimming pool area of his home. The day, he confessed, the day she confessed and finally when she accepted him wholly. Truly, the day she entered back in his life, he got to know what truly a heart beats. How one can love without any conditions and what they say living in love. And now, he will try to make each day worth for her.

After 4 and a half hours, Geet's ached body pushed her to wake up as it was going stiff laying in the same position from hours. She stretched her hands before rubbing her eyes and asked, "Maan...Are we on way to back home? How long will this long drive take..." She hoped that they were nearing. Her head has started to throb in pain. "Hmmm...he hummed with a sneaky smile. Geet felt chill cause of the slightly open window and wrapped the shawl more tightly around herself as she looked ahead just to see morning fog striking against the windshield. At once, she straightened up and her eyes were wide open. "It's so not the time in Delhi to get dipped in fog...There were no weather forecasts like this till yesterday...Maan, where are we going...?" She questioned, moving her hand below her seat to find the button that made the seat get back to its original seating position. "You will see" He replied. But as much as he wanted to keep it hidden till the end, her eager eyes which were stuck on road caught a look of the road banner that was stating.

Shimla, 50 Km ahead.

"Are we going to Shimla...?" She inquired loudly.

Precap: Trip to Shimla and Annie's faceoff with??? Guess
