***********************Part 14*********************
After long he lay down bare on his back, Geet coming on his chest circiling her finger. “Thisis real you..umm… where was this you” He placed her down on her back andplaced himself on top of her… like she was a toy “Itwas hidden very deep within…they made me believe what I am not” Painfulanger in his eyes… but soon went away with the visual of his beautiful bare wife in his arms.
When Geet woke up in morning Maan was not there. She looked everywhere only to find him taking blessings of Maa with some papers in his hand. Smile crept on her face seeing both Mother Son having world of their own and feeling so proud that she was part of that inner world of theirs. She smiled and went to Maa seeking her blessings when Savitri signaled her to come.
Maan kissed her sweetly on forehead and proceeded to leave. She ran behind him “Breakfast”
While checking his papers “ho gaya.. Bas meetha bacha hai” he turned to her and winked. Ohhh she turned red with his sudden wink .
“Toh maine kaha bina meetha ke jao” she meekly spoke turning red remembering him the day before. Maan slowly took lion walk towards her as she stepped back in shyness.. she could feel any of the relative gazing from top floor but Maan least cared about any one. He in one stroke pulled her towards him “Maa—aan log dekhkhenge” She looked down in shy . He pulled her closer, scanned her a bit with his teasing look “Bahane mat banao, tumhe kab se logon kee pardne lagi”
He caressed her face side from his finger “Kal sher ko dekh ker bhigi billi bangayee?” Geet made a big "O" but was falling badly for this Maan taking lead in their relation and Maan who did not give a damn about anyone who did not mean anything to him. He left her knowing she was conscious “will see you in evening” again a naughty wink… Giving her goosebumps for whole day.
In the evening Geet was having her sweet talk with Maa, she got call from Maan.
Before she could go in her lala land she was stopped by his serious tone“Ask chachi or Bhabhi to prepare good dinner tonight, we have special guest” but hinting tense in his tone she did not dig. Even she did not know how she always knew that she should not ask questions. His moods mattered so much for her. But then who was it whose coming has Maan got that tense…
Chachi and Bhabhi had no option but to prepare a lavish dinner, his cousins and chahcha bringing things from market. They were cribbing but had Maan left them with any option than to please him and try doing best to make him happy so that he does let him stay in Havelli and drop renting Havelli to the corporate firm.
Geet was racing throughout the house wondering who could it be that Maan had tense tone. Somewhere she was getting scared too. He looked up every now and then to pray to her Babaji.
Bell rang and Geet ran to open the door to see Maan standing with her Dad. She got shocked and too two steps back.
“Now my Princess don’t want to hug her Dad” Geet looked at her Dad in shock and then at Maan. Sensing her shock and confusion, Maan nodded her to proceed. She reluctantly hugged her Dad. She so wanted to hug her Dad tight, make sweet complains but here she was scared and that could be seen in her loose Hug to her Dad. The fear that her Dad may manipulate Maan. She could not bear separation from Maan in any case. Thought of it killed her.
Mohinder this time again scanned the Haveli “Hmmm… kaphi bada Haveli hai tumhara… per isse maintain kern eke haisiyat hai tumhare pass… iski halat to dekho” he laughed and taunted. Maan did not speak a word “Dad please”.
“Sir please have the dinner” Maan said maintaining his calm. Mohinder looked at Geet’s irritated face and did not want to upset her now. He needed Geet to be back to his Mansion first, he will handle her then. They had quiet dinner.
After Dinner “Maan do you think you are capable to keep Geet happy… she is a princess and see how she is here”
“Geet is very happy here. Only not the way you want her to be. She is happy the way she want to be. And that is what matters for me” Maan said in straight tone this time. Maintaining the respect yet strong.
Mohinder’s voice raised as he did not expect this straight answer from Maan. “How selfish you can be Maan. Apne matlab ke liye you are making a princess stay in this condition. Who to bacchi hai.. bachpana hai aur tum uska fayda”
“Dad Please”Geet raised her voice. Maan looked at her sternly and nodded his head sideways not approving her shout on her Dad. “Sorry” she said to her dad and looked down. Though it was all in Mohinder’s favor but he could not tolerate how Geet listened and obeyed Maan unsaid instructions. It frustrated him to core.
“I can understand your concern for Geet Sir but her happiness and comfort is my responsibility. Geet is my strength and I want and need her with me as we will work together to make our life better, together.”
“Geet is your strength and you are her weakness” “I can see how smartly you are using Geet .I can see the middle class cunningness” Mohinder shouted. Geet so wanted to ask her Dad to just shut up but she knew Maan will never approve of her shouting on her Dad. But how is she shamelessly taking her dad insulting Maan.
Maan saw the pain in Geet’s eyes.He knew the pain was coz of him but she was in pain.
Mohinder mistook Maan’s respect for his weakness “Geet mere sath jayegi. I am not letting my daughter stay in this mess”
“Geetis my wife and her happiness is here.” Maan placed his point in very straight strong tone, unbelievable to Mohinder. Geet felt relieved. But soon
“But she is your daughter and no one can stop her to visit her parental house whenever she need of wish to Go” Maan said calmly. His confidence on their relation just oozing out. It irked Mohinder again
“She is my daughter.. who are you to stop her anyways ” Mohinder raised his voice.
Maan continued ignoring his shout “Anyways her final year final exams will start after a month so I suggest she should go with you for couple of months and focus on her Exam ” This was unexpected to both Mohinder and Geet. Geet was in disbelief on Maan’s decision. She kept looking at Maan with pain and shock mixed.
“You will get time with your daughter too” It was all in Mohinder’s favor. Once he has his daughter with him he can plan further how to get back his daughter out from this mess forever. But he was so upset with Maan showing right on deciding about his daughter and she saying not a word against his wish. This needed to be broken he thought.
Precap – Maan manooing his wifey.. his own way😉
