Part 15 -
Prayer time is Geet's favourite time . She feel peace and connected to Allah . She only pray one thing for her ...patience . Patience to bear her current situation , patience to bear all bad things and not to break down ...patience to keep her trust on Allah .. only Allah knows what is good for her and she gave her everything to almighty .
From childhood Allah supported her in every step , if Allah bind them together then there must be some reason . She not sure what Maan wants ..his every action only make things complicated , and she can't live like that anymore . She wants a little peace ..she have lost her will to fight , this won't lead them to anywhere ..so from now on she will try to know his heart , his pain , his desire . May be she is not in his heart but at least she can gather some memories to survive rest of her life . With this thought she finished her prayer and folded her prayer mate .
When she turn around surprised to see maan already wake and sitting on sofa ..looking at her with a different look which she never saw in his eyes . Pride and adoration for her . She smiled at her own thought then about to pass him but stop at his small whisper ..
" Noor " she blink to confirm what she heard is right ... he patted his side of sofa to sit her beside him and continue ..
" when you were praying you looking so pure , in peace ..your face was shining bright . " he was talking like a small child Geet couldn't help but sit beside him . " is it true that praying can give you peace ? "
Geet nodded softly " praying will give you hope , will prevent you to do bad thing . It will make your heart light . You know when you are in trouble and think there is no solution always remember Allah is with you ...and you will be save for sure ..."
they went quiet for sometime as Maan trying to understand her every word . May be this is the first time they talking normal after marriage and the silence between them is actually soothing. Geet looked at his face , he seems couldn't sleep last night . She wants to reach for him , hear his heart May be she won't be able to solve his problem but at least she can try to get away his little bit pain . But after last night . things now more messy , she not sure what he is thinking ? And why now he is like this? Sitting lost like he is in trouble .
" Why don't you pray regularly? I do saw you praying but occasionally..don't you trust on Allah ? "
" I do trust but I don't think he will ever listen to me ..he never gave me what I want . "
her heart bleed seeing him in pain , somehow she thought Maan talking about Zeenat ..she ignored her pain and replied softly ..
" Allah always listen to us . We have to ask for it or else he won't give us what we want .."
" I asked Geet..i cried every night...but he didn't listen. My mother didn't come back . "
a tear drop and Maan didn't even try to hide it from Geet. He never like to feel weak in front of anyone but before Geet he doesn't know why he not feeling the urge to hide his emotion .
" when Abbu died I tried to sooth my pain saying my Ammi is still with me ..but after only one year she too left me and married someone else . I prayed so hard but ..."
He left his words in mid but Geet understood all . Geet already knew about this. His mother was with him till she fall in love with someone and got married to him . She did try to stay in touch but with time and handling new relation she almost forgotten her past life ..her son . Even Maan too become stubborn and broke all ties with her . His mother now living Dubai with her new family . Maan can say whatever he wants but Geet knows he still miss his Ammi but not want to admit .
" apko pata hai Maan meri Ammi kehti thi , how much we ask but Allah won't give us that thing which is not good for us ..."
Maan got the message what Geet was trying to say and he nodded " May be you are right . Even if she came back I don't think I could accept her , i could accept other person as my Abbu..my life would be more miserable " Maan first time smiled at this thought..in years he was searching answer to this pain and finally he got the answer ..he felt right ..
" do you realise first time we are talking rather than killing each other "
Geet blushed at his remark . Maan touched the loose stands of her hair and tugged them behind her ear " you look beautiful with red check " he pinched her check softly ...
" Maan " she whined blushing more .
" Geet I don't regret last right " her heart skip a beat with his sudden confession .." I was scared , I thought you too left just like ..her . I was scared to lose you " he came closer and give her a small peck on her forehead " don't do this again ok "
she only can nod not knowing what to say ..its feel all like dream, he shared his pain and showing his care .. ' is he now cares for me ? ' She thought with hope .
" and dare you told about this incident to anyone..you know what I mean right ? .. "
she come out of her thoughts hearing his same arrogant tone and raised her eye brow ...' He and his attitude will never change. Yeh abhi bhi wohi akdoo hi hai bhool na maat Geet '
" I don't cry ok ..its just hmm never mind , crying is bad toh yaad rahe galtise bhi kabhi kissise ..."
" keep your so called threat in your pocket ..your secret is safe with me ..i won't tell anyone that the great Maan cried before me .."
" Dadima ko bhi nehi ..." He confirmed again .
" yes I won't tell her too "
" so I can trust you ? "
" yes " she is irritated now
" we solved this issue ? "
" yes "
" we are good ? "
she gritted her teeth in anger because of his countless questions still muttered " yes "
" can we be friends ? "
" ye ..." she stop realising what he asked for ...
