PART - 46
"What are you thinking?" Adi asked to his friends while sipping his drink. All males cornered and enjoyed drinks.
"Adi I feel there is a strong hesitation between these two. I mean, I am not sure..." Mayank told what he feels.
Before he finished Adi confirmed. "because there it is."
Maan came there with his glass. All stare him which he felt awkward.
"Maan I don't wanna interfere in your personal life but apne personal experience se bol raha hu. Husband wife lovers ho na ho lekin friends zarur hone chahiye. Unke bech kisi b tarah ki jijhak nahi honi chahiye. You both need a bond where you can share any thing with her. She is your wife. Life partner. Means you both have to be comfortable with each other on every level." Manyank guided him about the need of their relationship.
"He is right. If you never tried to initiate then where would you lead with her?" Deepak supported as all noticed them.
"Guys it's nothing like that." Maan tried to cover,stealing his eyes.
"You think we are blind."
"Maan think over it. Kal ko Piya chali jayegi tab kya karoge tum dono?" Mayank suddenly burst and stole his breath.
"Matlab?" Maan's eyes narrowed.
Mayank called his wife Riddhima. "Ridzi tell them ki Piya ko to hum le ke jayenge."
He States and his wife supporting him. "Or kya. Humara Pratham koi kamm hai. Jaise hi Piyu stand ho jayegi hum use le jayenge apne Pratham ki dulhan bana ke."
All females came there and discussed and making fun.
"To ab tum dono apna socho." Deepak teased.
"Sochna kya hai. Plan second baby." Niharika too teased them.
"Nice idea Niki. Mere baby ke sath hi le aao. Kyu bhai.?" Pinky winked and gave hi fi to Niharika.
"You guys are too much." Maan glared all and cribbed while all are busy in making fun of them.
"Enough guys. Stop it." Maan cribbed again and gave them glare but none effected.
Late night Maan entered in their room after spending time with his friends. Piya was sleeping near her mother but Geet still awake. Her eyes lingering on her baby doll. She kept her with her gaze. She constantly staring her without a blink.
Maan noticed and silently slipped on the other side of their baby. A warm fresh tear falls on Piya's tiny hand. Geet quickly cleaned her hand and kissed softly. Maan stood up and moved to her side.
"Geet come out." He took her to balcony in fresh air so they can talk properly.
Maan palmed her face and wiped off her tears. He was about to ask when she hug him in a next moment. "I will not give her to any one." She babbles hoarsely.
Maan paid heed on her broken words. He parted her so he could glance into her eyes,an open window of her heart. "Who? Geet what are you talking about?" He asked to clear her words.
Geet tilted her head and glance straight into his eyes. "Piyu."
"Piya?" He asked and she nodded.
"Piyu is mine. Only mine. I will not give her to any one." Geet whimpered.
Maan smiled over her possessiveness for their baby. Aap has rahe ho?" Geet cribbed.
"Or nahi to kya. Geet sometimes you behave too childish. Are wo log mazak kar rahe the. Wo konsa kal le ja rahe hai humari Piya ko. No one is going to take her from you. Geet she is only one year old. Come look at her." Both move in. "See how calmly she is sleeping. Because she is with us. Or abhi to humari princess bahut small hai. Jab tak ye life me stand nahi ho jati tab tak hum is bare me sochenge bhi nahi." He hold Geet from side and embraced in his warmth soothing her.
Next morning his all friends of him got ready to leave. Though he doesn't want but they too have professional life so they had to.
Maan think over their suggestion. And when he decided to give life to their relationship then it's very necessary he too take initiatives. So as Mayank advised he starts with the friendship. Maan start taking interest in her works and words. Spend time with her and Piya.
One Sunday and Maan was at home so he decide to cook for his family. All 3 girls of his life waiting for his surprise. Maan who never step in kitchen, today decide to cook for all.
"Daija what he is doing?" Geet asked as she worried for her kitchen more.
"I have no idea sweety."
"Papa" only Piya was excited.
Maan took her with him in kitchen and placed on platform. She is playing with veggies like her father,who don't know how to cook.
"Papa ye bhi." She raised whatever she likes from the platform.
"Maan or kitna time." Geet came inside and asked as all are hungry.
"Bas Geet hua hi samjho." He assured her.
"You sure na?" Geet doubted.
"Papa Pasta banaya." Piya told her mom proudly.
"Ok Papa's tail." Geet replied pulling her into her arms. "Aap jaldi karo please." Geet warned him.
"He done?" Daija asked.
"Pasta... " Piya screaming proudly.
"Koshish jari hai." She told sitting on chair.
He come out and sat with them and assured them that only 15 mins. Suddenly she smells. "Maan ye smell kaisi?"
"Nothing to worry. Relax."
But Geet found fishy and went inside to check and she was right. Whatever he cooked was all burn. "Maan." She yelled and he too went inside.
Both are staring at the burnt food. "Oh shit." Maan clenched his eyes in disappointment.
"I told you it smelling weird but you never listen to me. Now go and sit with all,till I cook something." Geet said with dominance.
"I will help you." He offered in a very soft tone.
"Aise?" She filled with doubts.
Maan nodded no. "You guide me and I will cook."
Geet smiled and kissed on his cheek. "Aap na bahut smart ho. Melt me na." She blamed and he smiled.
Both cooked together and gradually the distance between them was decreasing. In a few weeks they are coming closer and getting comfortable with each other which was seemed so difficult few weeks ago....
