Maan saw Sameera and Annie are standing along with his grandmother who is sitting around the edge of Geet's bed.
"Betey...uth gaye aap?..." Savitri devi said mildly flashing a sweet smile. She didn't want to embarrass Maan, "Geet ke liye hum soup laaye hain..." though he was feeling a bit shy seeing all of them present there but his vulnerability got good of him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
He gazed upon his wrist watch unable to look at his grandmother,"Woh main Geet ka haal chal dekhne aaya tha...toh woh so gai baatein karte kaete aur pata nahi kab meri bhi aankh laag gayi..Aahhmm..."he cleared his dry throat then spoke again, "I was tired naa iss...issliye shayed...umm.. Main bulata hoon rukiye..."Savitri saw his flushed face which indicated his unprepared state so she didn't interrupt.
"Koi baat nahi betey..."She tried to ease the situation instead while he nodded and started calling Geet.
"Geet!...G e e e e t t h..."his voice trailed off into her subconscious very sweetly. She just snuggled inside her husband more sensing his warmth and divine presence.
"Geet...utho...Tumhara soup peeney ka time ho gaya hain..."he called for her again, he doesn't want to call her harshly as that could cause he knows she is devoted to her sleep and hates it the most if someone disturbs her with their harsh summoning while she is taking a nap.
"Geeettthhh... Uthooo...Aloe vera gel bhi apply karna hain...na... Dekho sab hain yaha" he again called her sweetly and she moaned a little with the effect of antibiotics which had slight traces of sedative, She adjusted herself into his embrace more brushing her cheek on his chest while making Maan freeze with her innocent tortures in front of three pairs of staring attentive eyes!
"Ummm...Soney do na Maan...!"but her half asleep moan alerted Maan of the upcoming danger as he sensed Annie was trying very hard to hide her grinning and Savitri devi was just throwing mysterious glints as she even recognized Maan during sleep that point is noted vividly by the experienced lady!
Here Maan was supremely worried about his cute & crazy wife blurting out anything or much dangerous something romantic inside her asleep form so now he just shook her arms seeing no other option and Dadima too joined him in the calling session.
Geet opened her drowsy eyes to find out Dadi maa's smiley face! But her mind told her about the fragrance which is immersed into her senses that, it belongs to her husband so she looked up and saw she is leaning on him while he is in a half sitting position resting on the bed's headboard supported by a pillow, still in his office attire just without his tie.
The shocking proximate sight made her immediately jerk herself off from Maan's arms in a reflex and her eyes popped up with the sudden discovery while Maan stood up momentarily looking at the direction of the door unable to meet his gaze with anyone, waiting for a chance to present his exit to everyone!
"Betey...Aab tabiyet kaisi hain aapki?...Aap uthiye maat, hum toh baas sab aapko dekhne aaye hain..." Savitri devi spoke instantly flashing a broad smile so that Geet shrugs off the uneasiness as she looked upon Geet's flushed bashful expression.
Seeing the sleek opportunity as his grandmother was speaking normally a flabbergasted Maan excused himself from the ladies and while straightening his attire he left swiftly leaping his long legs, making Savitri devi and Annie amused furthermore!
"Nahi nahi...Tum kyun taklif karogi...Nurse hain naa.."Geet tried to stop Annie who was trying to feed her.
"Oh come on Geet...Koi baat nahi...Mujhe hi nurse samajh lo..."she threw a blazing jolly laugh and started feeding Geet who couldn't deny more seeing all the love and care in Annie's eyes.
Savitri smiled beautifully seeing the amazing bonding of Annie and Geet where Sameera was fuming with uncontrollable jealousy! She doesn't even know why she is feeling like that...
Whenever she feels she is close to Maan, he is revealing himself at that exact moment this Geet appears and steals all the thunders leaving her devastated!
Why does Maan care so much for that girl! Which friend does care for their friends like that? He even came to Geet's room straight from the office.
Sameera still couldn't forget that rainy day when Maan was hugging Geet as if his life depended on that or that kiss which he planted on her forehead on the party preparations in front of Savitri devi and Annie.
How long is she going to ignore all this? Moreover after what happened last night how could he even think about Geet now? Why does Savitri devi also behaves so chilled out when all this proximity between Maan and Geet is happening?
And Geet! She proposes Dev on a romantic moonlit night and on the other hand dances with his big brother, sleeps inside his arms so comfortably, How?
HOW?
How one does that!!??!!??
Sameera saw Savitri Devi going outside so she just sat on Geet's bed silently with a reluctance as her burning heart was finding it very difficult to control her tears in front of the very same woman who was causing all this. To her luck, she was saved by the vibrating cell inside her palm and she excused herself while vanishing quickly from Geet's presence with the blink of an eye receiving the call, "Hello Mom..."
"Sammy... how are you now baby? How are you feeling now hun? Is the nausea gone?"Sam heard her mother's worried voice as soon as she picked up.
"I... I am fine mom..."She tried to calm her shaking voice down.
"Kiya... Mujhe toh abhi bhi tumhari voice shaking sunai de rahi hain...Your dad is very worried about you hun...You know he wanted to book the next flight and was about to fly at your place..."Sameera's mother informed her to which she cute her mother in the middle, "What!!! No! I am fine mom, please make daddy understand that... No, I will call him right away!"
"Yes beta... I have... Don't worry he has calmed down a lot now... Btw how is Maan and everyone else? I am sure he is taking good care of you... He is such a good responsible boy, I am only assured because of him you know baby..." Sameera almost broke down hearing her mother's faith at Maan but she doesn't want to stress her loving parents at all so she just played along.
She is well aware of her stepfather's care who showers her with so much immense love, care and support that he would leave everything behind for her happiness, she knew that much clearly! She herself finds her feelings for her dad very strange as when her mother remarried him 2 years ago she couldn't even tolerate his mere name because in her mind it was him for whom she was having constant clashes with her own blood, her mother!
But with time his care and love won her over and she acknowledged him as her father. Also, the happiness which her mother was displaying by her demeanor after ages was another reason Sameera thought to give this newly bond a chance!
So she didn't waste a minute after finishing her talk with her mother and called her father informing that everything is fine and he need not to worry! In return she got to know that he is indeed going to visit India quite soon, may be within 6/7 days as Maan himself invited him to have a supervisory visit of the construction site before they start working on it!
Sameera ended her conversation with him with a smile as he told her that while his casual visit he is going to talk to Maan about their alliance as well. This thought somehow gave her a lot of joy and her insecurities were fading away gradually, she was feeling thankful to her father for elevating her dull mood with his positivity hence she resumed her thought back on the man she loved madly!
She will win him because he is hers and she is not going to trace back because of some misunderstanding or assumptions! Soon she needs to talk to him about this Geet situation!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Savitri saw Maan is sitting on his study table after having finished with his shower,"Maan betey...Aap theek toh hain na?"
he was staring at the wall blankly without blinking, indicating his grave contemplation!
He broke his gaze by a blink and looked at Savitri devi,"Dadi maa...he called her lovingly and continued after a brief pause, "Main theek nahi hoon...Mujhe aap se ek bohot bohot jaruri baat karni hain...!" he dragged Savitri's hand and made her sit on his bed while closing the door. After running his brain cells for quite a long time he got his final decision as this is the perfect time!
"Hmmm...kahi ye jaturi baat koi choti si pyaari si Geet ke bare mein toh nahi hain?she asked with a mysterious tight lipped smile making Maan absolutely surprised!
He was off guard hence fumbled a little, "Aa Aap ko kaise pata?" he looked at her with his question even reflecting his gaze!
Savitri chuckled at his baffled expression,"Betey aise hi baal safed nahi ki hain na humne? Haan toh aab bataiye betey kiya baat hain?she cupped his face with one of her hand trying to ensure him of the comfort level they shared.
Maan couldn't understand how to disclose his wish but he still tried to convey his heart,"Woh dadi maa...umm...Aap toh janti hain na? Woh...!" he looked at the floor trying to gather words correctly.
"Kiya betey? Kiya jaante hain hum?"Savitri was trying to hide her smile and sound a bit serious.
"Geet ke barey mein...I want to ...Mmm" she saw he is struggling a lot inside his head as he is not making eye contact, that means he is nervous! Nice! Good going Maan! Savitri laughed hard in her mind.
"Offo Maan betey, Aap ko kab se bolne mein taklif honey lagi? Sidhe sidhe kahiye unse shadi karni hain aapko..." she teased him further seeing his plight.
"Haan Dadi maa wahi...Shadi..." he blurted out then gasped a bit closing his eyes and held his forehead under stress!
"Aap jaan bujh ke meri tang khich rahe ho...Hain naa.."he pouted a little to which savitri held his chin pulling lovingly,"Ha ha ha.. Betey roz roz aisa mauka thodi na milta hain?" she saw him giving shy smiles towards her, "Waise Aap kuch jayda hi pareshan hain Geet ko leke, woh thik ho jayegi beta...
Khair... rahi baat shadi ki toh humein toh barso se iss baat ka hi intezaar hain betey... Balke hum toh ye soch rahe hain aapki janamdin pe engagement kar..."she suggested her plans before him and he cut her in the middle,"Mera Birthday? Usmein toh bohot der hain aur upar se srif engagement?"he sounded quite disappointed.
Savitri endearingly looked at Maan"Itna pyaar kartey hain aap unse?" she had her answer long ago inside his eyes which had big waves of love for that chirpy little Geet who was Savitri's reason of happiness as well because of her bubbliness!
"Dadimaa please...! Phir se shuru maat kijiye!!" he blushed hard making Savitri chuckle more.
"Accha chaliye aur nahi chedenge aapko...Par betey Madhu aur vijay toh hain nahi unke alawa kuch fix bhi toh nahi kaar saktey na betey?"he looked at his loving dadima finally thinking she made a valid point!
"Hmmm...Thik hain par srif ek mahina, uske baad sidha shadi...I mean shadi ka anouncement...!!!.!!...!!!"he again blurted in a speed then got grip on himself.
Seeing his desperation the old witty lady couldn't control of teasing him, "Waise beta aap jinse shadi karna chah rahey hain woh raji toh hain na?"
He smirked this time, "Dadimaa aap nahi sudhrenge na? Aapko acche se pata hain sab tabhi phir se mere tang khichne lagi hain aap..waise aap ye sawal apki bahu I mean hone wali bahu se hi kyun nahi puch leti?" Maan stood up and put his hands on hips while looking at a smiled Savitri devi.
Savitri too stood up and touched his back, "Betey...Sach kahu toh hum bohot jayda khush hain aapke liye...Bohot jayda...Aap dono ki jodi aur pyaar hamesha salamat rahe..."as he turned facing her, she adored him patting his cheek and kissed his forehead.
"I love you dadi...maa..."Maan was very happy seeing Savitri's positive attitude and moreover, she was more than happy for them, that gesture touched Maan's heart.
"Hmm so dadi maa ko maska lagaya jaa raha hain?"His grandmother pulled his ears playfully with a broad smile"I love you too mere jaan...Hum bohot khush hain, aapko pata nahi hain aapne kitni badi khushi de di hain humein...Jeetey raho beta...hum jald se jald Madhu aur Vijay se baat karenge..."She hugged her naughty loving grandson celebrating the happiness he bestowed upon her!
Next morning.
"Maan Aap na bilkul baccho jaise harkatein kaar rahe ho..." Geet displayed her never ending pouts at her husband once more.
"Haan...Kyun ki tum abhi bhi choti si bacchi ho na...Aab chup chap muh kholo..Thoda sa hi toh reh gaya hain na Jaan..."he again tried to feed his reluctant childish wife who was quite irritated with the bland liquid!
She gulped one more spoon showing her disinterest, "Mujhe aur nahi peena ye sada huwa corn soup...Aur waise Aapko der nahi ho rahi hain? Office nahi jana?" she tried to negotiate her freedom from his overly possessive love.
"Ji nahi..." disappointing her to the bits he flashed his teeth at her, "Aaj main ghar se kaam karne wala hoon, Dev aur Sam gaye hain project ke kaam pe Sam ki construction site pe..." his smile got broader as she looked at other side showing her defeated attitude.
"Aaj aap bachne nahi wali ho humse Mrs khurana...Aaj toh aapko shower bhi hum hi denge..." she heard his victorious voice and glared at him.
"Maan dheerey boliye...Kisi ne sun liya na..." her hazel eyes popped while warning him in a low tone.
Maan chuckled a little seeing her funny expression, "Toh kuch nahi hoga...Darwaja band hain aur waise bhi direct high commission se Pass mill gaya hain..." he said with attitude and full confidence.
"Matlab?" Geet raised her eyebrows confusingly looking at Maan's smirk.
"Matlab bohot jald pata chal jayega aapko...GEET ji" he tried to hold the suspense and thought to surprise her later so didn't disclose the true matter to her.
Geet's voice was on a scolding tone,"Maan pata nahi aapki tedhi dimag mein kaun si nayi shararat chal rahi hain...waise Aapko yaad toh hain na mere exams hain?" she paused as he feed her one more spoon,"Bohot din ho gaye Mummy Papa se nahi mili...I am missing them..." the hidden sadness inside her trailing voice didn't to undetected by her attentive husband.
He tried to sound chirpy"Umm...Ye baat...hmmm Tum theek ho jaao Jaan puri tarha se phir hum jayenge unse milne...Main khud le jaunga tumhe wifey" he wanted to cheer her up and it worked as she jumped immediately showing her beautiful smile.
"Sacchhii?" her eyes glittered with happiness while he nodded at her chirpiness.
"Maine unhe nahi bataya ye garam pani wali baat, warna khamkha mein pareshan ho jatey na?" she told him.
"Samajhdar ho gai meri mishti!" he looked inside the bowl which barely had a few spoons equivalent soup left.
"Ji nahi, main pehle se samjhdaar hoon...!" she pointed her finger at his nose while shifting her position from sitting to kneeling down at her bed, coming close to him.
"Accha? Woh kaise?" he forwarded another spoon filled with the watery whitish liquid towards her.
She saw his smirk along with his statement so teased him, "Dekho na...The greeaaattt Maan Singh Khurana..Haayyee!!" She dramatically spread her arms followed by enlarging her eyes in her usual antiques trying to show the greatness she was speaking of, "Aap ko kaise fas liya?" She winked at his smirking self.
But he got amused at her liveliness, "Ohhh!! Aisa kiya?" he tried to act along showing confused expression later threw a smrik at her, "Kiya pata maine tumko fasaya ho?"he naughtily winked back at her!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Precap : The next moment Geet just slapped Maan's hand which were trying to pull her kamiz's liner around her chest! Then Maan just pecked her lips saying, "sharif kaha rehne diya " his voice sounded extremely sexy which also indicated their proximity deeply.
