Dadi's Bride T2 - Completed - Page 83

Chapter 31: No more task, and the love flask

'What was that? Darji asked low and angry, trying to control very fibre within his body. Geet also came out the kitchen, her hair slightly disarray with the cleaning; she was startled with the soundless room even amidst so many individuals which told her this was serious, Beeji screaming out wasn't a shock because the woman was a little on the crazy side and everyone knew that!

'How can you so impulsive BRIJ' Darji shouted as everyone shuddered in fear, Darji could be a very intimidating man. Big and fierce like a bear even for his old self.

'I ...I didn'...I'm sorry' he whispered falling back and pushing forward Maan who looked like a scared cat looking for a wall to jump and then looked at Geet who by now reached the side near Suman

'Darji I promise I'll keep Geet happy, I love her' he declared in a small voice as she looked beyond shocked but a big smile found root to her face and he smiled too looking slightly confident. The rest of the occupants also followed their eye talks, some pleased and Darji breathed in sigh. What was he going to do with his mad family?

'I get you love her, but how long is it going to last?' he asked deep in thought, in a way he wanted the young child to falter

'Forever' Maan declared and Darji raised an amused brow noticing something different in Maan

'We wished upon a wishing speck Darji' he continued in child-like manner and everyone who held their breath hit their head in absolute agony; just when he had the ball in his court he just had to run the other way.

'Hatt, dumb kahin ka' Brij nudged pushing back Maan and regretting such a declaration in front of Beeji, yet he was a proud man so he couldn't say it was a mistake.

'Darji so far he has won all the tasks' Brij defended, not Maan but his folly in voicing his anger.

'Not all. Mohinder see what this lover boy has bought' Darji ordered as Mohinder bent down and picked up the bag and Geet went and stood beside Maan, Dida also went and held onto her husband's shoulder trying to dampen his anger which worked minutely.

'Bangles, dupatta, payals (anklets), bindi and a coffee' Mohinder seemed impressed at the choice of selection. Geet also looked confused, she had only seen Maan buy the green bangles and the multi-coloured dupatta, when he got the plain small domed silver bindi's and the silver anklets with green stones was beyond her.

'But Geet didi toh coffee peethi nahi hai' Tito voiced confused, now all looked their way as Geet very shyly told them how she asked for change to buy something for him in return and he had emptied all his pocket. An act they all understood as sharing a household as husband and wife, what was marriage if not a bond of giving and taking but rightfully and lovingly.

'So does he pass?' Brij cut short the aww and ahh session, most of the females were utterly impressed, Suman even delicately whacked his shoulder as if so say 'See and Learn', of course he was a proud man and proud man do not learn they teach.

'Ha ha pass' all the females echoed along with Mohinder who seemed so pleased, sharing a watery eye lock with his wife who also seemed bowled over.

'SO' they all asked wanting to know Darji's decision

'DarjiBeforeUuSayAnything, IWanted2Say' Geet spoke in a rush without a break, eating half the words. She was looking to the ground and was nervous as heck, this was maybe the moment that would change his and her life and for once she wanted to look her Darji in the eye to voice her chose, but boy was that wrong as soon as she stared at him she forget her line of thought. Her hands became clammy and her voice was lost in the depth of his commanding eyes.

'Say what beta?' both Dida and Dadi tried to coax

'hmm I'm waiting' Darji added with a look which she understood as everything but disappointment

'That I love Maan' she answered closing her eyes and feeling his hand intertwine with hers, she then turned his way and opened her eyes wanting to see him first, smiling ever so brightly and everyone else sighed in relief, Geet had finally stated her choice and voiced her opinion. Raji and Suman ran to hug her, congratulating and boosting her courage.

'So I reckon the tasks are invalid now, since they both love each other and most of us agree to the marriage' Darji though tried to hide his enthusiasm but couldn't and let out a smile as Dida curled into his arms, whispering a 'I love you'

'No no I'll do all the tasks' Maan the ever so impulsive hulk without a brain declared, as Dadi whacked an unexpecting Adi who jumped out a what the hell dadi?' and ran to the other side of Pinky muttering a the woman is crazy'. However Brij immediately agreed, after all he wanted his a chance, a task to prove how strong Maan is. What did all brothers want? A brave warrior to protect his sister! If anything, he had regretted not having his turn so Maan's words made him happy man.

'Atcha we'll think of that afterwards, let's eat' Rano tried to make everyone forget her soon to be son-in-laws stupid words. He was accepted then why is he making his life hard. Taiji also agreed and immediately the woman minus Pinky and Raji dispersed into the kitchen and Raji spoke of everything but the folly of Geet's lover.

It was late in the evening, Maan sat on the cold floor of the roof and looked at the sun waving goodbye and he too wanted to wave it goodbye and thank him for such a beautiful day. Today, everyone recognised him and Geet's relation and not to forget the kiss. Just the mere thought made his cheek and ears red, but the warmth was missing and as if answering, Geet appears with a flask of scented of coffee.

'Tumari liye' Geet's coy voice pushes the coffee flask in his hand, and with the other he pulls her down so now they sit by the edge of the roof and both wave the yellowing sun goodbye. His one arm wrapped securing around her shoulder and hers around his waist.

'I love you' she whispered

'I love you more' he answered pressing the flask to her lips encouraging her to drink and once she sipped, he took the same spot and kissed the imprint of her lip as she shied her face into his chest and he, while he calmly drank the coffee, waving goodbye to the sun and cherishing his beloved in his arm.

Note: The next chapter can't be last since Sameera is still in HP and his parents haven't yet been shown so that is why I'm changing my decision.

And Dreamer, yes on a spree to finish so I can quit writing and just be a reader. Hence the rush.
