First of all, I'm really so very sorry for commenting so late. Because I have been so caught up with a lot of stuff lately I had seen the update PM in my inbox but I knew if I'd read it in a hurry it'd be such an injustice because even if I wasn't aware of it being the last part, I knew Maaneet post wedding HAD to be epic.

And you left me with no doubts it really has been 👏👏👏

Girl I literally owe you so much thanks. First for being a reader who wanted to read such a soulful and peaceful end. And also because I needed it. For my own reasons. Needed it so badly.

The way Maan and Geet became one. Their union. Even if I have read countless romance fiction and also on Maan Geet too, this very particular one is Very special to me. I repeat. Very much.

I don't know what it was, either the way you wrote about their blissful intimacy or the feeling which they gave me, of two souls finally becoming one, forgetting their past their grief. The purity with which they loved each other so much the so pure so heart melting way they completed each other in all aspects- physically but even more than that they actually completed each other's broken souls, filled in the broken gaps of each other's soul. I cried so much. I didn't realise when did my tears had just made their way down my face. This one reunion is so personal to me. This MG is too close to my heart. And for that, I thank you. Thank you so much dear.

Even though I'd miss this FF but im so agreeing on the point of this story ending here for fair reason. Their story began with Armaan and the best way to end it is just the way you have done.

Thank you again for writing the last part.. This one was SO needed. By them. And more importantly by me too. Thank you.

Its not easy to let go of some irreparable damages in life. Some ugly happenings.. We can't undo or repair them. And coming to the part of letting them go, that too with a soothing pain and happiness. Its so beautiful the way you wrote it. And I'm glad you didn't hurry through the part of their one last address to the one person they both loved the most. Thank you for including their diaries..I couldn't love Maan more for the way he addressed his beloved younger brother and told him he finally was happy. And I felt each and every word of Geet's last letter to Armaan so apt. She tells him she's finally letting the grief go and be happy with the wonderful man who loved her so much and completed her life. The moment they finished their last goodbye to Armaan. that one poetic kiss. Because Maan deserved it. He really did. And more importantly, Geet had to do it, to make their story complete because otherwise it would have been left unfinished and incomplete.. I love how their imperfections and brokenness fitted so perfectly together. Geet was truly meant for Maan..

And the very last moment. You penned it down with the most perfect gesture the most perfect justice a writer should do to such a beautiful story. The peace they felt and then the soft breeze which flew as if Armaan thanked them both and blessed them. Its so good dear. I don't have more apt words im running out of stuff to describe how it has made me feel.. Letting go .. Only lucky people can get to have a chance to let go and bury their broken parts, that too, so beautifully..

There'd be an epilogue too, I'd wait for that as well.

Thank you for this amazing and beautiful love story on my dearest Maaneet.. Thank you for touching my life with your write up dear. It doesn't undo anything but it still has meant so much.

I hope to see something new from you too soon. Please never stop writing.

First of all lemme comment on your last note. I'm surprised that having Maan and Armaan as siblings wasn't in your initial plan. No, I'm shocked actually. Cos I felt Armaan is related to Khuranas right at the moment Dadima sees Geet's painting. Geet paints Armaan's eyes and Dadima decides to take the painting with her. It was enough to make me think they are related. And now knowing that it was unintentional is really really surprising.

I'm happy actually that this story saw 60+ updates and gave me so many good characters and few lessons as well. It's one of the beautiful stories I've read on Geet forum cos of the characters and the way you made them. The growth in them was so amazingly written that I fell for almost every character.

Meera-Yash's break up or Yash-Pari and Meera -Sid's relationship. The best thing about this story was the friendship shared btw the college friends as well btw Geet-Pari-NT. They were all flawed and you made every character so real. I felt connected to each of them. All thanks your talent.

Coming to the update. It felt as if poetic justice was done when MG went at the lake side and finally bid their goodbye to Armaan. Their last diary entry was heart touching. Geet's entry made me choked. It was really emotional. Kind of bittersweet actually. But I enjoyed the whole feel.

I'm really gonna miss this story a lot. I've come to love all the characters so much. They all grew on me with time.

As always I really loved the update. Can't wait for the epilogue.

And hoping whatever problems you're having at your end, you coke out strong.

Sorry about the late comment. Kind of busy with life. Hardly get time to come to IF and check updates and comment. And since I've the habit of giving long comments I'm lagging behind. Bear with me please.

-Sanjana!

Epilogue

Four years have passed and Maan and Geet had been happily married. They had two weeks long honeymoon in Europe and Maan celebrated Geet's birthday in Paris. It was lovely to be able to say that they had kissed on top of Eifel tower on her birthday.

Once they came back they were busy preparing for Dev and Naina's marriage. It was a beautiful wedding in the rathode palace in Udaipur. All the friends enjoyed it. Even Meera and Sid were invited along with Pari and Yash. Some where along the line the friction between Yash and Sid were gone and they were again the best friends they were supposed to be.

Geet believed again that this was how it was supposed to be. Maan had been everything a girl could ask for in a husband. He was a passionate lover, a wise guardian, a sweet companion and a caring friend. It was like a several relations had amalgamated into one within him.

Geet still remembered the evening when she was painting. She had decided to make a portrait of Dev and Naina as a wedding gift. As always she was totally lost into the painting when she felt a pair of hands engulfing her. The musky scent of Maan made her relax into him. She was always frustrated how even a slight touch from Maan would always melt her in his arms. Maan trailed kisses from her hairline to shoulder as he spoke," Ummm... Mrs Khurana!! What are you doing?"

" I...Um ..I"

Maan stopped his kisses letting her form at least one coherent sentence.

"I am painting a portrait for Naina and Dev."

Maan nodded and then turned her and kissed her softly before letting her continue with her painting as he left into the washroom to freshen up after the busy day in office. But when he came out he found Geet giving him an almost seductive look as she said," Paint with me Khurana..."

Ah! His mishty was challenging him. He was not the one to back away from challenges now, was he?

Soon it was more like a war with paints. They would color each other and the empty canvas in front of them. Geet had brought back colors in his life literally and figuratively. When they finally finished up they were both smudged in paint but a beautiful landscape was drawn on the previous white canvass.

Geet blushed remembering the next part of the day or the incredibly long shower they both took together. In fact it had more to do with making love against the bathroom walls than actual shower. They had left the country soon after Dev and Naina had come back from their honeymoon in Australia.

Maan had kept his promise and had left with her to US and handled work from there while giving the responsibility of home office to Dev. They had rented a beautiful apartment near to her college. That was another beautiful phase of their togatherness. Since it was always the two of them they would be all over each other no matter if it was the living room, kitchen, bathroom or the bedroom.

But Maan was also very attentive of her study schedule so she can keep upto her position. But safe to say they could rarely keep their hands off each other. And on rare occasions one of them did try the other would just seduce their spouse to bed.

Geet turned red remembering the one time she was the one to seduce her husband to bed. It was just before a month of her semester exams. Maan had been adamant that they are spending too much time and she is not paying adequate time for her studies.

Geet was frustrated. Her usual ministrations had failed for her husband to give in breaking his usual control. So Geet timed herself perfectly so she would come out of shower just as Maan would come back. Her hairs were slightly wet and had curled up even more. She had wrapped a saari which was really strange for her to do. She had tied it at lowest point possible with an almost backless blouse tied only via strings. Maan entered the room and stood rooted at the door as he took in her form.

Geet had purposely kept her back almost uncovered. Watching Maan's expression she was sure today she will be successful. Turning slightly towards him she said in her most seductive voice," Good Maan that you are here. Would you be a dear and put body lotion on my back?"

"I... what?"

Geet got up and Maan saw her sexy belly button on display as her hips swayed sexily as she walked towards him. She came near him and whispered into his ears," Ah Maan! Apply body lotion on my back. "

Her breath fanned his neck yet she was not touching. Maan was a man starved and he was dying to taste his mishty. Somewhere in the back of his mind his rational side spoke that she had her exams and it won't do good to distract her.

Maan gulped as he said," Mishty, am just back. I think I should freshen up first."

"Don't be silly dear! You look just fine to me. After all I like you hot and sweaty, don't I?"

Cold shower, Long cold shower', thought Maan.

Geet lied down on the bed displaying her almost bare back with her excuse of a blouse held only by a string. Maan took the lotion from her and started applying. His hot palms touched her cold back and a tremor ran through both of them. His body was giving indication of how much aroused he was just by the slightest touch of her. Geet turned back a little and said," Ah Maan!! You work miracles with your fingers... oh!!"

Her moans weren't helping his case any better. All he wanted was to get into washroom and have that cold shower. Maan hadn't realized that his hands had stopped working long back or they had pulled the string open to have his unobstructed view of her back. Geet slowly raised herself facing him. Her pallu was gone and only thing covering her bossom was her slightly displaced blouse.

Geet held his face and almost took her lips near his as she said," What do you think of the view Khurana?"

Maan had gone to the point of no return by then but looking into Geet's eyes had always been his undoing. He softly said," You are a mynx you know that!"

They closed the distance between their lips and were soon making love hungrily and passionately. After that they had agreed never to repeat the situation as it just wastes more time to seduce each other to bed.

Geet was lost in her thoughts when her thoughts were broken by the cries of her five days old daughter. She quickly picked up her daughter even if movements were painful for her. Her little daughter was hungry. She never realized that all those years of emotional neglect had acted upon her and she is fiercely possessive about her daughter to the extent that she had difficulty to even let Maan carry her.

Maan had understood her underlying issue and like always had worked her through it. She was busy nursing when she felt a presence and looked up to find a tired looking Maan standing at the door. It was just the same even after years of marriage. No matter how tired or worn out he is, Geet always looked up to find her loving husband watching her back with all the love in the world.

Maan slowly came near and pressed a chaste kiss on her lips before moving away to freshen up. Once she was done nursing she placed her baby back in her little crib. They had turned a part of the room into nursery till their daughter grew a bit more to have her own room.

"How are you today Mishty? Did you have your evening snacks?"

"I am fine Maan. It took you longer than you thought."

"You know right how long the deals can take. If it was upto me I would have never gone to work today but with Naina expecting as well Dev can't really do all the work."

"Yeah!! I can't believe I am going to be a tayi."

Maan smiled fondly as he pulled her into a soothing hug. They both decided to take a nap as chances are there that just like previous nights they won't be getting much sleep.

The namkaran of their daughter was again a grand event. Savitri Devi had insisted that the naming ceremony of her first great granddaughter would be a large event. So family, friends and aquaintances all were present. Sid and Meera, who had tied the knot finally two years back, was there with a heavily pregnant Meera. They had both shifted to Mumbai to have a close proximity with the group.

Yash and Pari had married the same year as Dev and Naina. It was during one of Geet's semester breaks and it was really a beautiful wedding. Meera and Yash had not gone for each other's wedding of course. But they had sent their spouse/fianc for each other's wedding. Yash and Pari were now proud parents of notorious twins Rahul and Rishav. Being identical it was like two little whirlwinds creating mischiefs even at the innocent age of two.

Tej and Prachi had eventually married. They had waited for Geet to finish her course so she can help them with wedding preparations. They are yet to give the good news but all was going well for everyone.

Soon it was time for the namkaran and they waited for Maan to tell them the name. Maan pressed a kiss on his daughter's forehead and said," Khwahish!! She is the secret wish for us and we thought this was the best name for her."

Everybody understood the implication of the name and were little teary eyed. Geet hugged her husband as they both were reminded of the amazing man they both had loved who had been the connecting link between the two and they smiled with slight teary eyes like they had once promised to do.

Geet remembered the time when they had actually decided upon the name. They had been arguing back and forth. Maan wanted a boy while Geet wanted a girl.

"Maan, don't you want a girl child?"

The almost dejected voice caught Maan's attention. He immediately hugged her softly and pressed a kiss on her temple.

"Oh Mishty...no baby, it's not like that. I would love to have my own little princess to pamper. In fact I have a feeling she would have me wrapped around her fingers just like you. But it's just; I wanted a boy. "

Geet understood him. She never really thought Maan could be such blindly prejudiced but her pregnancy hormones made her emotional and insecure all the time.

" Mishty, remember that I told you I would ask you something in return for upholding the traditions for our marriage?"

"Hmm."

"Will you let me name this child?"

Geet was silent but somehow understood that it was important for him.

"Okay...but don't you come crying to me if he/she doesn't like their name."

Maan chuckled realizing that she was joking. "I actually have a name in mind. But I am not sure if you would agree."

"I am sure I would love the name you chose for our baby, Maan. Come on, it's me. "

"Umm...Armaan"

"I had guessed as much. But don't you think you should have at least one back up name just in case the baby is a girl? I mean it would be horrible to name a girl Armaan. What say Mr. Khurana?"

That got Maan thinking. After some moment a brilliant smile lighted his face as he said," Got it!! Khwahish. We will name our baby Khwahish if it's a she. It is after all kind of synonymous to Armaan. What say Mrs. Khurana? Like the name?"

Before Geet could respond they felt a strong kick. Geet smiled and said," I guess your daughter liked the name Maan."

"Or may be my son is protesting that he is Armaan and not Khwahish."

And their months old debate started again. After another round of meaningless banter Maan asked seriously.

"Geet, you liked the names I chose right?"

"Yes Maan."

"You don't have any issue naming our child Armaan na?"

"You silly man, of course I don't have any problem. He was as important to me as he was to you. But no, I have crossed that stage long ago when the mere mention of his name pained me. I love you Maan... He was my first love but you are so much more. Don't you ever feel insecured by his memories. I wouldn't have married you let alone be the mother of your child if I wasn't head over heels in love with you."

"I guess even after so many years I did have a bit of insecurity left in me. But how did you know?"

"I know you sweety. Love is not just about physical intimacy and companionship. It is so much more. I know you more than you and if you are insecured then it simply means that I haven't done a very good job at showing you exactly how much you mean to me. I love you soo much. Without Armaan I was alive even if barely. Without you I would cease to exist."

Maan captured her lips into a kiss full of love before they closed their eyes for the night. Both of them rested their palms on her stomach as if providing security to each other and their unborn child.

Life was good for Geet. Geet helped Maan with the company whenever she got time and is a lecturer at one of the colleges and a damn good one at that. She and Maan both had revived their love for painting and loved to paint together and separately and occassionaly would even put their art work on exhibition. Along with all these Naina and Geet together have formed a new branch on Khurana Charitable orgainisation that deals explicitly with people who had lost dear ones through death or anything else to forever lose touch. Geet knew she was lucky to have found Armaan and her friends and later Maan to deal with the hard stuffs of life but not everyone is that lucky. Their branch also deals with children from broken families. Geet knew coming from a similar situation that there can be many complicated psychological issues for those children as she herself deals with some till date.

Geet was happy. She had a good career, one that makes her happy. She has a wonderful husband and equally caring family and friends. She finally can call a place home even if home will always mean Maan's arms for her. Now she is a proud mother of a beautiful daughter. She mused, happy endings are not overrated. We always get a happy ending even if it is not the happy ending we had initially thought of.
