"Geet what are you doing? Maan walked downstairs to see her in the kitchen already getting breakfast prepared.

"What I do every morning she replied in confusion as she didn't even know why he was asking such a question.

"You're stressing over this as well he responded taking the plate from her hand.

"Making breakfast isn't stressing she spoke taking the plate out of his hand. "And if I don't do something, I'll end up going bored she placed the plate down and grabbed a glass of water and passed it to him.

He nodded and walked over to the table, Geet joined him bringing his cup of coffee and placed it before him.

"I was thinking to start teaching after Ramadan, its coming in 3 weeks time so there's going to be a lot preparation so I won't have time right now but after a week or two after Ramadan will be easier she said passing him a bowl of cereal.

"You can start when you wish, I'll talk to ammi about the children, she's got quite a few friends who want to send their children to mosque in the coming month he responded sipping his coffee and dug into his cereal. "It'll be better if the girls are sent to female teacher

Geet grew restless seeing Alisha walking in behind, Maan hadn't noticed as he had his back towards Alisha however Geet didn't want him to see her, she wondered why Alisha was here again despite her telling her to stay away. She wanted to speak up but Maan may not like it if she told Alisha to get lost especially after he told her he only loves her, he'll probably think she doesn't trust his love or something and she didn't want that.

"Maan

Geet turned her head away mentally cursing Alisha for saying his name, even she being his wife didn't say his name.

Maan looked over his shoulder and frowned. "What?

"Can you drop me off to my interview, its next to your office she requested.

Maan sighed and nodded. "Fine, be ready to go soon he turned away and continued to eat, Alisha turned walking away, Maan finished up and left his bowl and cup in the sink and headed up.

Geet couldn't finish off her breakfast but walked out heading to mansion, she didn't forget Maan telling her not to go to the outhouse but she couldn't stop herself, she wondered who she could speak to about Alisha, she didn't want to talk to Sameera or Hena about it, they may not understand, so she headed upstairs to Saira.

"Geet bete tu yahan? Saira questioned knowing well Maan had told her to stay away from the mansion.

"Ammi woh... Geet closed the door behind her and settled before Saira.

"Kya hua? Pareshaan kyun hai?

"Alisha unke paas aati rehti hai, har choti choti baat ke liye aur mujhe pasand nahi hai she mumbled. "Janti hoon ke Alisha unke liye kuch nahi hai lekin ammi woh... she paused sighing heavily.

Saira understood and cupped Geet's cheeks. "Agar main Maan ko janti hoon woh kabhi bhi dusre aurat pe nazar nahi daalega

"Mujhe unpar koi shak nahi hai ammi, mujhe toh Alisha hi pasand nahi hai she muttered sadly.

"Main usse baat karungi

"Maine usse baat bhi ki hai, uspar koi fark nahi padta she muttered out in frustration.

"Tu pareshaan hona band kar pehle, kal behosh bhi hogayi ti pareshaan hone ke liye, tu pareshaan rahegi toh Maan bhi pareshaan hoga she explained. "Main alisha se baat karti hoon pehle. Hmm?

Geet nodded sighing heavily.

Saira pressed a peck to her forehead. "Ghar jao, warna Maan pareshaan hoga tum kahan chale gaye ho

Geet stood to her feet and walked out only to bump into Alisha near the stairs, she stared at her for a moment then looked around before meeting Alisha's gaze.

"Why do you keep coming Alisha? she questioned.

"I just need a ride Alisha responded with a confused frown marring her forehead.

"There's taxis for that, also there is another driver, he isn't the only driver available

"Whats wrong with you Geet? I said nothing is between Maan and me

"I know it isn't! Geet countered keeping her voice down. "But I have got a right to be upset about someone following my husband like a lost puppy she spoke without thinking, her frustration got the better of her.

Alisha's eyes darkened as she clenched her fists by her side. "You're losing it, don't forget jealousy can ruin what you have

"Don't Alisha. I've got a reason to be jealous and I'm not the one losing it, its you, at least I've got the courage to admit I am jealous, not like some, who can't even face the truth, you can't even admit your truth to your own mother

"What did you just say? Alisha straightened and stood rigid. The thought that Maan revealed to Geet stabbed her within, how could he? She felt betrayed and hurt, he promised not to reveal her truth to anyone, anyone at all. She didn't want to show the hurt within to Geet so she responded without a second thought. "At least I'm not second choice, nor am I married to a guy who couldn't even reveal it to you

Maan wondered where had Geet gone, he somewhere knew but hoped she didn't go to the mansion, he was proved wrong when he was saw her walking in, her eyes filled with hurt and tears, he walked over to her hurriedly.

"What happened? he questioned seeing her brushing her cheeks wiping at the tears.

"Nothing

"Geet Maan knew she was lying, it was clear, very clear seeing her face.

"I went to talk to ammi and I.. saw Alisha and it escalated she mumbled wiping her cheeks.

"Please say you didn't get into an argument with her he sighed.

Geet didn't respond and Maan had gotten his answer, what could he possibly do or say to prove it to Geet or ensure her enough that Alisha doesn't mean a thing.

Geet didn't like the silence from his side, either he was in deep thoughts or he was angry, that is what she'd learned his silence means, she looked up at him to notice his eyes trained on her only.

"Whats wrong? she questioned softly.

"You tell me Geet Maan sighed and slumped on the arm of the sofa. "How can I convince you? Trust is what we're supposed to have in this stage of our marriage, how will we make this work if there is no trust? he questioned.

"I do trust you she responded. "but I just don't like her

"She means nothing. Nothing at all

"But she was your first! I'll always be the 2^nd she cried unable to stop herself.

"Geet please stop crying he gathered her into his arms hiding her petite form in his embrace. "I don't like it when you cry he brushed his fingers through her hair hoping to soothe her somehow. "You said yourself that trust is important, and I want you to believe me that Alisha means nothing he gently parted brushing thumb across her cheeks wiping her tears.

She nodded but Maan wasn't convinced that she quite believed him however he didn't blame her for it.

"I'm going to be late, so I better go Maan gently pulled her out and wiped her cheeks gently. "I'll see you tonight he pressed a kiss to her forehead and headed for the door once he'd grabbed his files and briefcase.

Maan stood by the car waiting for Alisha to come, he was about to leave but then remembered she'd asked him to drop her off, he looked up and noted her coming.

He settled into the car and Alisha joined, there was no words spoken and Maan drew away.

"What happened this morning? Maan questioned, Geet's tears came back to him.

"Did you tell her about me? Alisha responded with a question and turned her head to him.

"I had to explain to her he replied back.

"You promised Maan. No one but you knew and you went and told your wife she turned her head away from him feeling hurt.

"Look Alisha, Geet needed to know about us, she deserves the truth

"Fine I accept you told her she turned her head to him "but that doesn't mean your wife taunts me because of it

"What? Maan stopped at the red lights and glanced at her. "What do you mean?

"This morning. We exchanged words she looked away. "I was wrong back then and I know, heck I was only 19yrs old

"What did you say to Geet then? Maan questioned knowing Alisha for so long, he knew she wouldn't have kept quiet. He continued to drive once the lights turned green.

Alisha wondered whether she should tell him, she knew his temper all too well and somewhere knew he'd flip at her. She repeated the words she'd told Geet and noted the change in Maan.

"Why'd you say that for Alisha? he sighed shaking his head at her.

"Well your wife was taunting me, heck for a 21yr old I would've thought she was much more mature, turns out she's more a baby She shook her head.

"Alisha! Maan frowned at her.

"What? She shrugged. "She's older than me and she acts like that, you can't expect me to be an angel she replied.

"Okay. Get over it. Just don't say anything to her alright. She's bound to be insecure and having learnt the truth only a few days back she's going to be insecure he parked up at the side near the building.

"Thank you she muttered and stepped out.

"Are you angry? Maan asked before she closed the door behind her.

"What do you want to know? she questioned back.

"Well are you?

"No.. she paused sighing heavily. "Just frustrated. Ammi pulls me from that side and badi ammi pulls me from that side she responded.

"I'm not saying you should go against badi ma but Alisha you should make a choice in who to side with, the right or wrong and speak up for yourself he told her. "You know as well as everyone else, badi ma controls you a lot

She shrugged. "Anyways I'm going to be late she closed the door and walked away whilst Maan drove away heading to the office.

Geet was torn away from her thoughts as she felt something against her legs, she looked down and saw Crystal rubbing herself and purring softly.

"Hello Geet cooed bending down she petted her lovingly scratching her behind her ears making Crystal purr in joy.

"Crystal you traitor Sameera walked in scowling at her cat who snuggled closer to Geet.

"Aww leave her alone

"She left me for you Sameera responded. "Can you believe her? I bought her up, I fed her, cleaned after her, clothe.. no not clothed her, still anways I done everything for her and little madam here is trying to impress you

Geet laughed shaking her head at Sameera. "aww leave the poor baby alone, she's trying to hide because she's scared Geet picked Crystal up and settled down the little fluff ball on her lap, Sameera walked over and settled herself beside Geet.

"You didn't go to college? Geet questioned as she stroked Crystal who purred happily.

"I've got no lessons today, Hena went for the one lesson she's got so she'll be back soon She replied playfully tapping Crystal's nose. "And I'm thinking we take the driver and pick Hena up then we can go shopping she suggested.

"Who's we? Geet quirked her brow up listening to her.

"Us. Who else bhabhi? she rolled her eyes taking Crystal to her lap.

"And who said I want to go Geet responded with a mischievious smile.

"You're going bhabhi. I don't care or else...

"Sameera Khurana I hope you're not threatening me

"Well I'm a Khurana so think of it as I am threatening you bhabhi. Now I'm going to get ready and you also be ready she stood to her feet walking out with Crystal in her arms.

Geet sighed and headed upstairs to get ready, she didn't want to go out but then may be some fresh air would do her good.
