Cured by love : Last chapter
It's been a week since Maan returned home. He was improving. He could simply interact with Geet with hand gestures and simple answers like 'Yes' and 'No' but he hasn't recognized Geet yet. Geet was sad as he hasn't recognized her yet but was happy to see his health improving day by day.One morning Geet was cleaning up their room. She was already on her 7th month of pregnancy and despite of Maan's parent's warnings, she always worked. No matter how much they taunted her for exhausting herself she didn't listen to them. She wanted to do her work all by herself.
She was trying to reach the top shelf to clean, the chair was wobbly and she lost her balance and was about to fall.
'Geeettt!' She heard Maan screaming.
She was trying to look at him with astonishment in the very next second. Within no time she was safely landed on Maan's arms. Geet couldn't believe her eyes. She was on her Maan's arms. His protective arms have wrapped around her.
She was staring at him with surprise. She couldn't speak a word. His voice was echoing inside her mind.
'Maan?' Her eyes filled with tears of happiness. He was staring at her.
'Maan?' 'Maan say it again?' 'I'm your Geet. Can you remember me?'
'Argh.' Maan put Geet down in the very next second and he held his head and collapsed on the bed near by.
'Maan!!' 'Maan are you okay?'
'Maan!!' Geet screamed with fear.
After few hours.
Maan was rushed to the hospital. Geet and Maan's parents were impatiently waiting outside. They were worried about Maan's health once again.
'Geet could you come inside please?' The doctor called upon Geet.
'Doctor ? Maan? How is he?' Geet was afraid.
'I think you should go and see him'
Geet went inside.Maan was looking at her with teary eyes. Geet sat beside him. She held his hand gently and planted a soft kiss.
'Maan..' She cupped his face. Her eyes were moisturized with tears.
'Maan.. I'm your Geet. Please don't tell me you don't remember me. Please Maan. It hurts. How long I'd been waiting to hear my name from your mouth. Please tell me you remember me hmm?'
Geet noticed tears flowing down Maan's eyes. He nodded her with a smile and hugged her tightly.
'Geet' He spoke in a soft yet a wobbly tone.Geet couldn't believe what was happening. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him back tightly. The couple spent a few minutes in the same position, unable to express their feelings of extreme happiness.
They broke the hug after few minutes.
'Maan.. Maan..! 'You are fine na?' Geet was overwhelmed and she planted quick kisses on his forehead.
Maan cupped her face. Geet felt his warmth after a long time. He planted a soft his on her forehead.
'Geet..' 'Yes you are my Geet.'
Geet was speechless. Her happiness knew no bounds.
'Maan.. Maan.. say it again. Oh my god! You are back!'
'Geet.. yeah your Maan is back.'
Geet held his hand tightly and kissed.
'I knew it. I knew that god cannot be unfair forever to me.'
'I don't know Geet. I feel as if I woke up after a long sleep. I can't remember what happened.'
'Lot's of things happened Maan. But just forget them. You are back in my life. I.. I just can't express how happy I'm feeling right now.' Geet was delighted.
Maan slowly ran his hand on Geet's pregnant belly and he gently caressed it.
'Geet?' His eyes were filled with happy tears. Geet nodded confirming it.
'Yes Maan. You are gonna be a dad, very soon. Just 2 months left. And this is one reason which made me more stronger. Though you were not in your senses for the past 7 months, your love grew inside me.'
'I.. I just can't believe this Geet. I.. I dreamed about this and it has become a reality.' Maan spoke with happy tears.
'I love you Geet. I love you so much and words aren't enough to describe it. And.. I I don't know how to thank you for taking care of me for the past few months. I really don't know how I was.. I.. I..'
'Shh..' Geet put her index finger on his lips. 'Don't try to strain yourself by remembering the past Maan. Now you are totally fine and that's what matters. Finally the dark times have ended. It's time to look forward for a beautiful beginning with our baby.' Geet smiled.
'I love you Maan.' Geet rested her head on his chest. He placed a soft his on her forehead. The lovers reunited after a long wait.
Geet couldn't thank enough the doctors for saving Maan's life. Maan's parents were on cloud nine to see their son all fine. Geet's parents also came to see him right after they got the good news.
After 2 days he was back home. Time passed by and Geet revealed everything to Maan gradually. She didn't want to strain himself. Maan was heart broken and furious to hear about how Aditya used to mistreat her.
After few weeks and after Maan was permitted to go out, both of them went to visit Kaavya to thank her. They couldn't thank enough her.
'Thank you so much Ms. Kaavya if not for you, I won't be able to cure Maan soon.'
'It's not my financial support Geet, it's your love and support that cured your husband.' Kaavya replied.
After a week.
Maan was taking extra care of Geet. He didn't even leave Geet alone for a second.
'Geet! Just don't just don't get out of bed!' 'I know what you are gonna do. Can't you just stop tiding and arranging the room.?' 'You will get exhausted.' Maan ordered his pregnant wife who was under complete 'bed arrest' since morning.
'Maan! please. Let me get out of the bed. Just let me walk a little. I can't stay in bed all day. I hate it! Why do I have to stay in bed like a paralyzed patient?'
'Geet.. just just think of your health. Remember yesterday also you were about to trip! Why are you so careless?'
'I'm not careless Maan. I'm just bored. I don't know I just can't stay in bed! I know you are taking good care of me. No let me correct, taking extra care!! Sometimes makes me irritated to be honest!' Geet made a face.
'That's because I love you.'
'I know you love me but please reduce this restrictions, will you? I'm not a patient. I'm just a normal pregnant woman.'
'Okay okay! but I don't like to see you doing all these work. Will you please keep your hands off? If you want to walk, I will take you but don't strain yourself okay?'
'Oh hello! Don't underestimate us! Me and my baby are strong.'
'Trying to team up now?'
'Of course. Me and my son will give you a tough time Mr. Khurana.'
'In your dreams Mrs. Khurana!' Maan chuckled. It's gonna be a girl. Wait till my baby girl to come out.
'Haaw!' 'No way! It's gonna be a boy'
'Girl'
'Boy'
'Girl'
'Boy and it's final!'
'No it's a girl! I'm sure!'
'Geet.. Geet' Savitri came inside the room. She was smiling at them. They were fighting for their baby's gender like 5 year old kids.
'I hope you haven't forgotten that Geet has a check up in the evening at 4 o'clock.'
'Oh no! I almost forgot it!' Maan had almost forgotten that he needs to take his wife to the doctor. It was his first visit to the doctor with Geet.
'Congrats Mr. Khurana. Nice to see you here, all fit and healthy.'
'Thank you doctor.'
'And Geet finally you are here. You have missed a lot of check ups. It's been almost 3 months you came after the last check up.'
Geet couldn't attend her health check ups due to Maan's condition back in time.
While scanning
'Hmm.. I see something surprising!' The doctor told.
'What is it doctor?' Maan was worried.
'Hmm let me see further.'
'Doctor? Doctor Geet is doing fine na?'
'Of course Mr. Khurana she is doing well.'
'Then?' Maan was confused. Geet and Maan exchanged a confusing look. Maan was holding her hand tightly.
'Can you see that screen Geet? Don't you notice something?'
Both Geet and Maan looked at the screen and both of them couldn't understand at once but they could see two figures.
'What? Twins?' Geet was surprised.
'Yes you are right Mrs. Khurana. You are not carrying only one. But two.'
'Huh.. then that's why I used get multiple kicks and pains in the past few weeks. I always had a doubt but.. I.. I wasn't sure.'
Maan's eyes widened with surprise and extreme happiness.
'Geet... you you felt it already? Why didn't you tell me?'
'I didn't know. I.. I was getting this strange feeling that it could be more than one baby. But I wasn't sure. That's why I waited till the scan.'
Maan and Geet's happiness doubled with the good news. They didn't want to know their babies' gender. They wanted it to be a surprise till the day of their birth.
Finally the day dawned they'd been waiting for. Geet was on labor. The doctors suggested her to go through a C-section as it was twins. Maan was allowed to be inside the labor room. Geet was holding his hand tightly. Maan was restless as well but he assured everything will be okay.
Geet and Maan became proud parents of twins, a baby girl and a baby boy. Both of their wishes came true. They've been blessed with two bundles of joy.
'Thank you so much Geet.' 'I love you.' 'Thank you for gifting me with two precious gems.' Maan placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.
Geet smiled. Her eyes were moisturized with happy tears. She silently prayed god for gifting her the best. Finally their family was completed with two beautiful babies.
After 3 days,Geet and the babies were discharged from the hospital. Geet held the baby boy and Maan held the baby girl in their hands. Geet was surprised to see their room. It was all decorated with Blue and Pink Balloons and flowers and was filled with lots of toys to welcome their babies.
They named their babies as Arjun and Aarushi. Maan decided to stay home for another month to take care of their babies. The twins gave a tough time to the couple. Handling two babies at once was a difficult task for the new parents but they enjoyed every bit of it.
Time passed and it was their twins' first birthday. Maan made arrangements for the birthday celebrations. The entire house was decorated with balloons and their babies favourite cartoon characters.
The birthday cake was made as two cute teddy bears, one blue and the other pink. The two cute babies were dressed in those colours too. Arjun was in a hurry to blow the candle. He gave a tough time to his mommy by blowing his candle too soon before even singing 'Happy birthday'. Geet had to lit it several times due to his mischievous little boy. No matter how tightly daddy Maan held him he smartly got off his grip and accomplished his mission by blowing away the candle.
Finally Geet could surrender her naughty boy for a while till they sing 'Happy birthday'. Aarushi was trying to blow her candle but the poor little girl couldn't do it at once like her twin brother. After a several attempts she successfully blew it.
The proud parents fed their babies. Soon the little ones got excited playing with icing. Geet sat in a comfortable corner of the sofa. She was feeling a bit tired with all the birthday preparations. She started enjoying a piece of cake peacefully in the cozy corner.
Suddenly she felt somebody rubbing her cheeks with something. It didn't take her time to realize it was none other than her husband Maan who was applying icing on her cheeks.
'Maan!!' She screamed.
'Haha'! Maan was laughing out loud.
'Maan! I won't spare you' Geet threatened him. Within no time she too grabbed a big piece of icing from their twins' cake and chased after her husband. They were running around the house like Tom & Jerry.
The twins started clapping with excitement. They were giggling and were staring at their parents who were running around the house crazily.
'Haha Geet! Poor you! Couldn't catch me yet?' Maan chuckled. He kept her irritated.
'The game is not over yet Mr. Khurana' She smirked.
Geet started chasing him again. In the next second, Maan slipped on the floor due to icing.
'Ouch'
'Haha! Geet giggled.
'Argh. My back!'
Geet couldn't stop her laugh.
Geet please help me.' Maan pretended to be helpless.
'No way! You can stand by yourself.'
'Geet seriously. My back is paining. I hope my bones aren't broken.' Maan spoke in a painful tone.
Geet was a bit worried and she extended her hand.
Maan pulled her back towards him. Finally Geet fell into his trick.
'Haaw!! Liar!' 'You tricked me!'
'But you know this liar loves you' Maan winked.
They shared an intense eye lock. They were lost in each others worlds. Maan slowly wiped icing from her cheeks. They almost forgot where they were until they heard the giggling sound of their twins. They felt embarrassed. They got up at once. The twins crawled up to their parents. Maan and Geet was smiling at each other.
They spent some memorable moments on their twins' birthday. They could not have asked for more. Maan and Geet was blessed with two beautiful kids. Their cute little family was filled with love and joy. No matter how much of obstacles they faced in the past their love was strong to overcome everything.
