Chapter-8

At Hospital

Maan was busy in his work ..Today he was not having any extra work other than to check his regular patients.. No operation was pending in coming few days..so was in some relaxed mood..he went to see the kids..

He spent some time with them..

As usual they hadn't seen their fav. Sister and were waiting for her ..they even asked Maan..

Umm She is on some special duty to look after a patient at home..

One little kid-kyun? Wo to yahana job karti hain na..to kahin aur kyu?

Maan smiled hearing him and asked... tell me ..You all love her ?

Yesss.. They shouted in a chorus..

And she too loves you all..Right? She visits you daily ,takes care of you..but How many of you come back to meet her? Do you come and see her? No na.. you haven't seen her for a one day and missing her just think about her.. she almost daily says good bye to one of you.. if she too stops you here saying she loves you ..don't leave her.. Will you be ready to stay here permanently? You won't like to stay here for even one more day extra..

Kids hung their faces as they knew he was right..No one who left after their treatment come back to meet her..

Maan saw their hung faces and thought to cheer them up

Maan gave them chocolates. Come on don't make faces she will come back soon.. ice cream khaoge tum log?

and the name of the ice cream brought a smile on their face Maan too smiled to see them..

It was lunch time Kids were asked to have their lunch and Maan remembered about dadi and Geet..

Oh It's lunch time.. I think I should ask Geet or dadi their choice so that i can order and it will be delivered till I reach there

He called Geet

Geet took her call-yes sir?

Geet what would you have in lunch..I mean tum aur dadi ho wahaan.. it's lunch time.. so I thought to order it..I m coming too as I don't have much work here..

Umm did you have your lunch?

No actually I don't have any work now so thought to come and order for all of us..

Ok sir ..please come first and then I will tell you what to order..right?

Geet par tab late ho jaayega

No ..It won't ..I know a restaurant which delivers within minutes..so it won't be late..aap bas aa jaaiye pahle

Ok..

Maan entered the house and the smell of food hit his nostrils..

Khaane ki khushbu? Kisne banaaya?..kahin dadi ne to nahin... He went in to the kitchen but no one was there ,..

He went to the room-dadi why did you try to cook? I told you na that you need rest

Maan calm down..Who told you that I cooked food?..Maan I m not able to stand properly and you are talking to me about food..

You did not cook..?Geet kahaan hai..

Must be around..She was getting bore. I too was sleeping ..to ghoom rahi hogi idhar udhar

Ma'am..Sir.. lunch is ready.. aaiye. They heard Geet's voice

Lunch?

Haan..I ordered . She came in...I asked Ma'am about your choice too..so ordered accordingly

Oh..Ok..you have already ordered

Yes doctor.Umm How are kids doctor?

Fine and missing you..tumhaare chakkar me mujhe sabko ice cream bhi khilaani padi..you should have looked their faces when they knew that you were not going to see them for another two or three days...Geet grinned hearing that..and seeing her not only Maan but dadi too smiled..dadi could see a great understanding between those two..

Geet served the lunch..

And the first look of food told clearly that it was not the food ordered from hotel..It was very simple lunch which included daal rice bhindi , curd and roti..

Is it the food from some hotel? Are you sure?

Dadi smiled seeing him..

Haan Maan ..Geet asked me about your choice

Achha? If you say so I believe but ..ok let me taste it

And he ate first morcel..Nooo..this can't be from any hotel

Kyu sir..bahut kharaab hai kya? Geet asked

Noo...it very nice, tasty and healthy too..as it doesn't have any oil

So what? you like oil free food to maine wahi order kiya

Really??

And Geet nodded.. He ate little more and asked again

Tell me the name of the Hotel.. If I need in future I will order them only..and I m sure will be needing it..hai na dadi and he raised his brows and dadi understood his taunt..

She lowered her head..

Geet bataao to Hotel ka naam..i will forget to ask later.. I will save the name and no. In my phone..

Umm wo Sir..Hotel ka naam hai.. GEET DA DHABA

Wow Nice name ...and he stopped ---what? Geet da dhaba..??

And seeing his face Geet busted in to the laugters.. dadi too smiled seeing her laughing..

Maan was now embarrassed seeing them laughing.. But he saw Geet laughing and he got lost in that laughter.

She was actually full of life who knew how to smile forgetting the sorrows. . He was looking at her with a very sweet smile ..

He left his food and completely engrossed in admiring her.. Every single day her new quality was surprising him.. Dadi who was laughing too now saw Maan lost in Geet's laughter. And the way he was admiring her was confirming her doubts in to belief..

Maan... she called him.. and he listened to her..H..haan dadi..

I need water ..Geet too heard her and stopped laughing..Sorry sir..wo mujhe hansi aagyi aapke expressions dekh ke...I m really very sorry

Maan gave water to dadi and asked Geet..But that day you said that you did not know cooking

Wo..wo to sir..actually maine aise hi bola tha but you took that seriously .apne muh se apni kya tareef karti main... Have you seen any girl who cannot cook basic food.itna to har koi bana leta hai sir..

And Maan uttered a quick sorry to misjudge her..

Geet asked me to cook food as she said that I could not eat the food from outside so I agreed .. I need to recover soon now I know it was not Geet's job to cook but she insisted Maan.. I m sorry if I did something wrong.. Dadi was not sure if she did right or not by giving permission to Geet

Not at all Mam.. You and Dr. Khurana ar not treating me as any nurse I m feeling like a family member her so can't I do something for you? ..and she excused herself as the lunch was over..She went in to the kitchen to keep the dishes back in to the sink..Maan helped her as it was his house so he could not let her do all the work alone..

After everything was done, Geet excused herself-Doctor..wo..maa se baat karni hai.. Can I leave for some time..I will be back soon..

Off course.. I m with her..

Maan took dadi in to her room..

Maan..dadi called him in a soft voice

Haan dadi?

Can I ask you something?

And he nodded

Is Geet that girl about whom you were talking that day?

And Maan was shocked to hear those words from her..

A lump formed in his throat.. He gulped it and controlled his faster beating heartbeats.. He looked at her with sharp eyes.. For a moment dadi could see some emotions in his eyes but next moment she saw a firmness in his eyes

Dadi You have lost that right to ask anything about that girl

Maan please..

That day I pleaded to you but you were not ready..to aaj kyun? Aaj kahaan se itna pyaar aa gaya mere liye aapke dil me..Where was your this concern when I was pleading you not to force me for the marriage?

Maan I...but he stopped her by his hand-bas dadi..

With gritted teeth he warned her.. Stop it right here ... and please it's good that you asked me this question but I request you dai ...please don't ask any stupid question from her...agar aapne uss se kuchh bhi poochha to mujhse bura koi nahin hoga... you wanted me to marry Sam and I did that because I loved you and you are my only family.. I fulfilled my duty towards you but now everything is finished..Sambhaal ke rakhiye apni so called cultured and educated bahu ko.. Muhse ab aur koi umeed mat rakhna dadi.. I have done enough..She is your DIL and my wife in front of your society but inside of this house she is no one to me..I will not allow her to enter in mu personal space..

He stood and went towards his room..

Dadi was having tears in her eyes..and for the first time she murmured I m sorry Maan...She was actually regretting for ruining his life..

Your sorry in not going to anything undone in my life...He helped her to lay in her bed and excused himself.. No more arguments on this..You are sick and need rest..

He needed some time to control himself after this confrontation..He went to his study and tried to focus on some work.. He opened a book and tried to concentrate in it but as if his eyes were not able to read anything as his mind was still being hit with that question asked by dadi.. He threw the book aside and hit the table with his fist..He dropped himself in the chair with thud and moved his fingers in his hair in frustration..He closed his eyes to make his enraged mind and nerves calm..

Geet returned after talking to her mother .. She saw dadi alone in the room and she noticed that she was sad and was crying too perhaps

Geet was worried seeing her-Ma'am..what happened? You are crying? Kya hua?

Nothing bas aise hi..

Where is Doctor khurana? He said that he would be with you..

Umm I don't know may be he is having some important work.. I m fine don't worry and she diverted her mind and asked Geet..How is your mother?

She is fine ma'am..

And her friend?

She is better too..but is feeling very lonely and sad to think about her family who is not anymore concerned about her..

It happens beta.. Yahaan bhi to wahi sab ho raha hai na..Dadi's voice was low and dull

But Dr.Khurana loves you ma'am.. He cares for you..Why do you feel so sad?Why you are comparing yourself to my mother's friend?

I know but what I did with him was not at all my love and care..I asked him that favour in return of my all love to him..Have you heard of any mother or dadi doing this to her son who is her only family?

Geet felt bad for that old lady. She did wrong and she was repenting.. and above all the facts she was old and sick.. She did not need this much stress and she herself was involved in this so every now and then her personal feelings were being affected by that conversation of dadi again and again and her bad luck was that she could not run away from all this nor she could show any emotion about that..

She gave her medicine and glass of water..Dadi had her medicines..

Try to take some rest Ma'am..It will help you to reduce your stress..

Hmmm ...dadi replied and tired to take a nap after closing her eyes but she was not able to do that..

There Maan who had slept while trying to soothe his mind woke up with the sound of the window pan.. he opened his eyes .he realised that it was long when he left dadi alone.. and he understood too that he was little harsh on her...No matter she did wrong with him but she was old and sick and was repenting on her deeds

He took a deep breath and got up to go..

Maan entered the room holding a tray with three cups in it..

Dadi ...He called her softly

She looked at him and turned her face to other side

Geet was watching them ..

Maan sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand which was kept on her stomach

I m sorry dadi.. I know I should not have talked rudely to you..

Geet heard and came near them..

What? Dr. Khurana ? you talked her harshly? You know how sad she was? She was crying? How could you do this?

Excuse me? Maan looked at her shocked at her guts

Kya excuse me? You know na she is not well? Then why did you talk to her rudely that she was crying..

Geet main..

Dekhiye Dr. Khurana..I know you are dr. and my senior ..i should not talk to you like this but this time I m talking to you as her nurse

Maan was looking at her confused ..Why she was behaving like that? Dadi too was amazed to see her scolding him.. Her sadness gone back and she was smiling seeing them talking like that

Geet listen to me

No doctor you listen to me.. your not her Dr. Her dr. is Dr. Sharma who is treating her.. and I m her nurse ..Who you are? Only her family..Her Grandson..

So? Maan asked

So?..As her nurse I want to warn you that my patient need rest and happy surrounding.. if you fight her like this making her sad .how she will recover..aur aap sara blame mere upar daal doge ki Geet ne time par medicine nahin di ..theek se dekhbhaal nahin ki.. I m telling you Dr.Khurana door rahiye mere patients se .

Maan was looking at her with his widely opened mouth.. Before he could say a word they heard dadi laughing...

Maan first looked at dadi and then at Geet who was smiling seeing her laughing.. her eyes met with Maan and she raised her eyebrows at him and Maan understood she did that for removing dadi's sadness,, he shook his head and took the cup of tea from the tray and gave it to dadi..

I m sorry dadi.. ye lijiye aapki chai..you wanted to drink tea in the morning..so i made it for you..

Then he gave a cup to Geet..

Thanks sir..

Chai? But you said that I can have it tomorrow..and dadi looked at him

Umm.. wo sorry bolne ke liye kuchh to chhaiye tha na..

Maan..I m sorry too..

It's ok dadi..

And she called him near her he leaned a little towards her and he kissed his forehead and he hugged her.. Dadi could feel his helplessness in that hug..

Geet who was looking at both of them was little emotional..she did not knew the reason of their arguments but felt good to see both of them united again and she could see the love between them.. she did not know when a lone tear appeared in her eye and slipped.. She sipped the tea and while sipping it she wiped her tear too with her finger without making it oblivious to any of them..

Geet.. she heard dadi calling her name..

Come here

Ji.. and she went near her... Do you need anything?

Yes

What?

A hug from you too

Ji??

She was shocked to hear..

And dadi nodded her head..

ji main? She was hesitating

Arrey you scolded him for me .and he asked sorry too for getting angry on me..so i m really very happy to see someone who can threaten him.. Hospital me to kis ki himmat ho nahin sakti iss se aise bolne ki..But i m really very happy..come on..ek hug to bata hai na..

Ji.. She sat near her but was still hesitating to initiat .. Dadi held her face and then kissed her forehead too..Thanks beta.. and hugged Geet..Geet who was little hesitant to hug her felt as if someone of her own had hugged her.. She did not feel any awkwardness in that hug and she reciprocated that hug..

Maan who was sitting near them looked at them and he did not know when his eyes became watery.. he blinked two three times to make his vision clear and cleaned the lump which he was feeling in his throat..

Umm ladies.. I think the tea and coffee i made with so much hard work is getting cold.. So please oblige it by finishing before it turns in to ice tea or cold coffee..

And Geet and dadi smiled at it and parted away..

And then they spent some time in chatting and Maan asked about dadi's health chart and Geet narrated everything to him..he was much satisfied and called Dr. Sharma and gave every detail to him..he was satisfied too after listening about her report..

Dr. Khurana.. Please bring your Grand ma tomorrow for check Up..

Ok Dr..thanks..

It was late evening and Sam was still not back..

Where is Sam? Maan did she called you/ when she is coming back

I don't know dadi..

Maan just call her..

Me? No way..

If she was at right time she could have manage with dinner.. dadi spoke

and Maan one more time smirked hearing her..

Dadi don' even expect it from her..you don't worry..I will manage.. aapka sikhaaya hua ab kaam aa raha hai..

Umm ..Sir..Ma'am..I will manage

No Geet.. Maan rejected her offer..I will see it..It's not your duty to do this..

Sir it's half an hour job for girls to cook.. i can cook faster than you

No way.. I won't allow

Offo.. why you both are fighting? Ek kaam karo.. you both go and help each other..

Haan ye theek hai ..Geet smiled ..but Ma'am..you?

Arrey don't worry about me..i will pass my time by watching TV..

Haan Geet it's just the matter of HALF AN HOUR..Girls cook this fast na.You just declared right now..if there is some machine fitted in your body?

Maan teased her and Geet twisted her lips..wo to main aiwai bola tha sir..thoda jyada time lagega..

How much time?

ek ghanta..

great.. so don't try to act smart further..Ok? girls cannot always be best..

and Geet shook her head in acceptance..

dadi you watch TV till then we will see what can we think about the dinner...Maan switched the Tv on and passed the remote to her

then they both moved out of the room..

dadi looked at them going and take a deep breath..She knew that she could not undo her deeds but at least could give them a chance to spend some time .. She could see Maan smiling constantly in her company.. She also noticed that they both had respect for each other..both hadn't shown any emotion which could prove their feelings wrong or awkward for each other..may be both had accepted the destiny and were now best friends..

Maan and Geet were in Kitchen

Maan was chopping the veggies and Geet was kneading the floor.at last he started to cut Onions but the onions were giving him hard time..

Tears were flowing from his eyes and he was sniffing because of onion cutting

Geet looked at him and giggled bt closed her mouth but Maan heard her giggle and looked at her with a frown

hansi kyun aa rahi hai tumhen... he cleaned his eyes which were red because of the tears

I told you sir that it's not your job..

Really? as if you could cut the onion without shading any tear.. he mocked and Geet shrugged her shoulders..

Maan was feeling hot in the kitchen so he turn the fan on .the air from the fan fell on Geet's face..and her hair covered her eyes

she removed her hair from her face but did not know that she had touched her forehead with her hand which was dirty due to dough kneading..

Maan turned and his eyes feel on her face.. A smile crept on his face seeing her flour smeared face..

First learn to take care of yourself while working in kitchen then raise a question about the working of other...Maan said with his arms across his chest..

What happened sir?

Are you too much hungry Geet that you are trying to eat the dough itself without cooking?

What?

And Maan signalled at her face .wahaan aata laga hai

Kahaan ans she again touched her face with those dirty hand,,and she was looking now funny with that too much flour on her face..Maan laughed looking at her..

And Geet made faces seeing him laughing..

Just hold on..he came near her and try to remove the flour from her face ..

He was standing very close to her and some flour had stuck in her hair too and it was dry now..

he tried to remove the flour from her hair and she winced.. and he came little close so that he could clean them without hurting her but they both did not realise that they were very close..His breaths were fanning her face now..and This made Geet to skip many beats. He was lost in her.

Though she had buried her emotions deep down in her heart but Dil hi To Hai.. when it listens to anyone?...her throat went dried and she gulped her saliva..Maan was removing the flour from her hair saw her closing her eyes as gulping down her saliva...

He was standing very close to her.. Feelings were mutual at both sides...and he unwantedly and unknowingly brushed his fingers with her face.. He tucked her locks behind her ears and his touch there forced Geet to open her eyes

and he saw a longing along with a sadness in those eyes. He realised his position and moved back regretting for making her sad..

He turned towards the other side and controlled his racing heart beats..Geet too lowered her head and she felt as if she had done some crime by showing her feelings to him.. Tears rolled down from her eyes..

She was done with the kneading so she went near the sink to wash her hands,, he looked at her from back and he could see her wiping her tears..

Geet I m sorry..wo..I.. he was searching words to clarify himself..he wanted to tell her that he did not have any wrong feeling about her..it happened unknowingly..

Let's finish the work sir..maam is alone there.. she tried to divert both minds from the moments which went thru between then just a while ago.. She did not want him to regret as she too was at fault to lose herself in him like that...

Hmm...

He hummed only and both got busy in finishing the work..and rest of the cooking was done in silence.. It seemed as if the words had lost their identity between them..
