Chapter 63 : Memories of Love

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ji..Ye raha...Par..." Couldn't speak any further as his slender finger hypnotized her moving lips quite instantly, "Shhh...."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1

"Ssshhh...Aab Chup chap chalo…!! Yaa mere sath jaane mein tumhe darr lag raha hain??" Maan sounded mystical for some reason!!

“Maan...Aapka dill naa shero jaisi hain...Paar meri himmat inn sab mamlo mein chuho jaisi hain...Agar kisine itni raat ko humein sath mein dekh liya toh…” She gulped hard, fidgeting cutely as ever!

“Geet ji...Aapki himmat test toh hum kisi aur din karlenge par abhi ke liye ye kam bohot zaroori hain…" He hauled her frame with a mischievous glint in those dark browns, "Waise you are looking too much cute in this night suit of yours but don't worry next 10 minutes tak main koi shararat nahin karne wala…!!”

“Kamse kam meri blindfold…!” She stopped in the middle feeling he has removed the blindfold swiftly!!

Gradually opening her eyelids she found herself in the middle of a huge room. It was probably the biggest room inside the mansion.

With astonishment gleaming inside her flawless hazels, Geet looked around her while Maan just stood near with his hands crossed over his chest. Closely observing his precious’s reactions!!

It seemed that her breath has got stuck in her throat, eyes roaming around in disbelief!!

This huge room that Maan has brought her in, it's personally occupied in his name. He doesn't ever let anyone enter that room. Even cleans it by himself. He has named it as "The Memory Hall"

But there have always been two exclusions who had that fortune to enter that area. One being Savitri Devi and one of course being his chirpy little doll!!

But in the last 5 years, she hasn't been in this room. And now that Geet is standing inside she doesn't even know what to say!!

The walls are filled with all kinds of moments and pictures of hers from all ages. A few huge frames exhibiting their playful childhood. But that was merely nothing that contained on the space of that super huge room!!

Every nook and corner is filled with gift boxes. Small. Big. Medium. Square. Round. Tall. Pyramid. Not a single geometric shape was missing.

“Itnaaa hayraan?? Aise shocking reactions toh maat do, khol ke nahin dekhogi??” He smirked with satisfaction, wrapping his arms around her waist as she looked at him with huge eyes. Slightly confused with a lot of warmth surrounding her!

“Haann…???

Aap...aap pagal hain?? Ye..!!” Geet could barely form words out of surprise.

“Ye sab tumhare liye hain…! Khol ke dekhlo...” He interrupted her with a mysterious smile blooming on his handsome face!!

In a trance, she started opening those boxes one by one randomly.

After opening 15 boxes she realized she is crying incessantly with her overflowing love for him.

“Maan...Aap...itna pyaar kyun karte hain mujhse.. Just hug me tightly…!! How did I get so lucky..” She threw herself with force as he smiled softly caressing her according to her order!!

“This is nothing...If I could, I would have never let a wish escape through your heart unfulfilled…

Those five damned years which I spent without you...I have missed you like a soul misses life…

Whenever I saw something which I liked, I just kept buying for you...this kept me alive Mishty…

The thought that someday…

One Day I will meet you and…

At least to give you all these gifts I will have an excuse to meet you because I was so much scared…” His voice broke a little with melancholy.

“Scared??” Geet cupped his face, “Scared with myself...What if you didn't love me?? What if you had forgotten me??”

“Maannnhh...How dare you…

That was you who distanced yourself...huh!!”

“Yeah Geet... That's the reason I was so much scared to lose you…

I still can't fathom how much I love you, baby…

Deeply I was depressed without your light Geet...and so…this was the only way I could have kept myself calm…!!”

“I love you Maan...All I ever want you is you…! Mujhe iske ilawa koi complex baatein samajhna nahin!”

“Mishty...All your wishes mean everything to me…” His voice leaking with emotion.

“My crazy hubby…What will I do to you…

Omg are those chocolate wrappers?? Aren't these all 10 years old...I used to fight for this brand with Brij veer ji…

Aur aapko ye pasand thi aur main chahti thi jab bhi aap summer break mein aaye hum dono milke ek saath ye chocos khaye…

Aapne woh saare wrappers bhi sambhal ke rakhe hain hayye rabba!!” Geet clapped like a child and ran towards a corner where their childhood play items were kept.

“Hmm...Yeh.. bachpan ki masoom yaadein… Sabse kimti memories hamare...

Tumhe ye pencil yaad hain...ye dekho meri jungli billi ki bite marks abhi bhi hain…!!” Both of them kept serenading into their memories of growing up together.

“Geet...There is a reason why I have chosen tonight to show you all this!! Jaan...” He hesitated a little.

“Kiya huwa Maan?? Boliye naa…!”

“Main tumhe bohot pareshan karta hoon naa?? Last five years...I know…” He stuttered unusually, sounding intense yet a gloominess devouring him, “I know you have forgiven me...And now that we are going to get married officially…

But I have not even asked you…!” There comes another pause!!

Gaping at her world with those big hazels, Geet touched his clenched jaw, “Asked me what?? Maan you are scaring me...What is it, baby??”

“You know your Maan has the worst temper possible...But...You also know he loves you the most in this entire world...You do know that right Jaan??” He pleaded with the cutest pout.

“Hayyee rabba... Pata nahin kaisi emotional baatein kar rahe ho aap...I love you just the way you are. Kabhi mere Sher Maan.. Kabhi meri baby, my cutie..." She pulled his cheeks to lighten the moment, "I have said that before too naa that I don't ever want you to change…

And I love your temper... It's hot...like lava...Par mujhe waise hi zayada pasand hain…!” He perceived a jolt with Geet slowly rustling her words, finding her keenly eyeing towards his lips.

Smoothing his long finger on her lips, Maan meddled, “Sshh..I have something else to talk to you…And don't call me cutie..” She grinned at his last sentence, “Babaji?? Aur bhi kuch hain?? Aab aur kiya baki reh..Yeh yun mere mangalsutra mere hi samne kyun ghuma rahe ho... Yeh toh already mera...”

“Will you marry me?? Again Geet??” He didn't blink, and her breath couldn't escape!

“Maann...I...Oh baby…!" After an eternity some words were pitched, "What are you waiting for...” She nodded her head with her hazy eyes and smiling face as he immediately saturated her hair partition with the redness of the sacred vermilion after ages!!

“Happy 6th Marriage Anniversary…!! You loved playing with sindoor so much...After years, I could again fill your forehead with my name...And next, it will be in front of everyone!” His voice trembled with delight while he finished tying the very distinct mangalsutra(nuptial tie) on her neck!!

“Happy 6th Marriage Anniversary Jaan!!” She buried herself deep inside his chest, then crushing her lips directly on his with closed eyes!!

Her heart was fluttering like a hummingbird with heavenly happiness. Such serenity was pulling her inside the realm of felicity due to that man she loved more than heavens at that particular moment!!

Sitting inside her room she was sadly touching her lips as it's been two days and everything has changed!!

Every promise. Every commitment. Every truth. Everything has been altered!!

Now all she could do it wait. Linger for him to return!!

Time was being frozen again. It's as if minutes are having heavy stones on their wings which is why they can't move into their original pace. He restlessly missed his Mishty.

Total four days 16 hours and 45 minutes have passed that Maan felt the warmth of her gorgeous smile. Sitting on the airplane amidst all of his boring work, thoughts of Geet’s innocent face kept incising in!

Ten minutes more and the flight would land on the Indian soil, ending his restlessness finally.

Checking the phone he read the last text from her which she has sent almost 30 hours ago. It's a little odd that she has kept herself away from messaging for this long.

Finally, he reached Khurana Mansion.

Ordering the driver to take the luggage inside he had to take a call from some random client. Out of desperation, he moved his legs swiftly eating away the ground fast. His eyes hunting for the cure of all his anxiety; that precious doll!!

Entering the huge living room Maan greeted Savitri Devi. She too seemed eager. He was still busy talking over the phone. Seeing something strange inside her eyes he cut the call.

"Mera baccha aa gaya tu...!" Received a warm hug from her.

Before he'd ask her anything Savitri told him to go upstairs and freshen up in a desperate voice. Simply nodding to her Maan slowly went upstairs feigning a smile.

He noticed the Mansion is terribly silent. But being tired he didn't give much thought and went to meet his light but she was not inside her room.

Taking the phone out Maan called her for the fourth time before entering the shower but the outcome remained the same as she didn't pick. Suddenly felt a slight tug on his heart.

After the shower, he saw Madhurima coming into his room accompanied by Savitri with a tray of food. Both the ladies looked a little pale when they shared a smile that seemed quite fragile!

He didn't want to judge but he couldn't discern is it his tiredness or something is indeed heavy moving into the atmosphere!?

“Maa...Geet kaha hain?? Ghar pe nahin hain kiya??” After his meal was done, Maan asked with a straight face, still making calls.

“Nahin toh, Geet toh ghar pe hi hain, shayad sameera ke kamre mein...Woh...Samee…” Madhurima was going to say something which suddenly got disrupted due to Savitri devi's intervention, “Maan..Betey batein toh baad mein bhi hoti rahengi...Aapne khana kha liya...Kafi thak bhi gaye honge naa aap?? Abhi aram kar lijiye..!”

“Nahin Daadi maa...Main toh so ke aaya hoon...Aur waise bhi mujhe Geet se milna hain...Uskey liye surprise gift hain mere paas…!!”

“Geet se pehle tujhe Sameera se milna chahiye…!!”

“Sameera?? Kyun??” He fluttered his eyelashes.

Part 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Sameera?? Kyun??” He fluttered his eyelashes.

“Uski...Woh uski tabiyet kharab hain...Tu London mein tha toh humne bataya nahin tujhe…!!”

“Kiya huwa hain Sam ko?? Aise daraiye maat maa...Sidhe sidhe bataiye kiya baat hain??” He didn't like the heaviness lurking in the ominous atmosphere.

“Woh .. she...she was hospitalized...Aaj...Aaj hi discharge kiya doctor ne..!!”

“What?? Hospitalized matlab?? What happened to her??”

“Omg bhai aa gaye aap...Thank god...Now the problem would be solved...And what are you doing here?? Come on come on, firstly go and meet Sam…!” Annie dragged his hands with the obvious urgency in her voice!

“Yeah...But what happened to her?? Why the heck nobody is telling me?? Is she fine??” Everyone saw the flicker of panic in Maan's voice as they reached Sameera's room.

“Not bad Maan...Being alive you didn't care about me...Now if erasing my soul can somehow extract a little bit of love and care from you!! And, Why are you calling me non-stop?? And what do you mean by this message 'what have you done now'...” Sameera flashed her cellphone which displayed him calling her.

“....?? Wh...What??” He was processing everything together, Geet seem to peer from behind while Maan asked, “What happened to your hand??” Eyed towards the bandage on Sameera's hand.

“Oldest trick on the book…!!” A pitiful smile emerged.

“Nahin samjhe?? This life is so much painful without you...I tried Maan…

I am so so sorry...I really tried but damn it life hates me so much that it has given me not one but two lives…!!”

“Has she gone nuts?? Daadi Maa kiya hain ye sab?? And, Geet why are you sitting silently like that??”

“Hello, Maan beta…!!” He suddenly noticed the presence of Sameera's parents and her grandmother as well!!

He greeted them shortly and again questioned Geet what's wrong but she just spared a long lost gaze towards him.

“Aap hamare sath aaiye...Hum batate hain aapko…!!”

“No daadi...Let me have this moment with him, please...At the Roka I listened to you now please you give me that opportunity...I didn't even want to be saved..!!” Sameera hissed strongly.

"Calm down Sameera. Aram se samjhao. Maan zaroor samjhega.." Madhurima said and left with Sameera's grandmother feeling uncomfortable with the long yearning gazes Sameera was giving to Maan.

“The pain was unbearable Maan...And I am a weak shallow girl just as you said...I couldn't take it...So I wanted to say goodbye...Forever…!!” She burst the withering words, not a blink escaped.

“You have gone crazy...You really have…" A startled Maan took a few steps back seeing Sameera coming closer, "Please tell me you didn't attempt suicide and this is not because you bloody tried to cut your wrist?? My god Sam?? What has gotten into you??”

“I had to Maan...I had to…

I had been enduring so much...Seeing the man propose, make love to some other girl... Everything I have been enduring…

But then...this…

I couldn't endure…!”

Looking at her incessant tears Maan held her shoulders to jerk some sense into her, “Please be more specific... Suddenly what on earth has gone wrong?? Don't talk in riddles. Take a breather and tell me everything, I will try my best to help you. But what have you done that Geet is not even answering me??”

“Correction. What have WE done." Maan raised his brows hearing Sameera as she continued, "I am pregnant Maan…!!” The bomb was dropped.

“.............Ok...Congrats!! And?? Do you want me to find...” His reactions were obscure yet colder than expected while he fixated his gaze at Geet.

“And yes it is your child..You don't need to find him. It's you. Irony how you are congratulating me??" Sameera smiled in despair, "Deny as much as you can…!! But the truth is…!!” Maan's mocking laughter stopped her in the middle.

“I don't get what sort of clownery is this. But I am done with your nonsense Sameera. Time is up for jokes.. Don't even touch me.” Freeing his frame from Sameera's clasp, Maan turned towards Geet once again, "You better not be foolish to believe in these lies."

“Expected reaction from you...Now you know why I had to cut my wrist Maan!! Threatening Geet won't work especially when there is solid proof. Who are you even calling??"

"Doctor of course, but the one from psychic wards. You are clearly delusional..

What do you think? You are the first woman in the world who said this?? Or precisely said to me? Hun, you are not the first person to express their undying love to me!! Now you will talk about our stay in Australia!" Maan chewed his words out, taking short steps towards Sameera as she was confined to the wall, "You don't want to touch me anymore. Better hit me. That will even.." She lamented some more.

"First, cut your wrist, then claim this is my baby and my marriage with Geet doesn't happen. Because guess what Geet will be the emotional sacrifice goat and me, to save my family's name under pressure will eventually give in.. Too cliche Sameera. Tsk tsk. If you want to make an enemy out of me, come with a better plan." He clicked his tongue, showing utter disrespect and pride in each word spoken, "You didn't like the fact that I respected your feelings so far. What makes you think I won't hand you over to cops?? Just because we have your construction project and have been family friends?" His eyes spit fire while Sameera's were turned into a morose waterfall.

"And what do exactly I achieve by dragging my self-respect and our family relationships in your terms? If it's a simple name for the baby, I can just go back to Australia and have it well. For the first time in your life please prioritize emotions. This is our child."

"Emotions?? Woman, You are the one accusing me of such a scandalous act!! In my entire life, I have never loved let alone touch any other girl rather than my Mishty…”

“Maan it's ok...You don't have to act any more in front of Geet…” She patted on Maan’s shoulder, “Since I am the one carrying your child I think now at least you can show your real feelings to me… It's ok, you were not engaged to Geet at that time when it happened.

Maan you no longer need to deny your love for me. This was just a business engagement after all. I am willing to forget the dual life you live for the sake of our child. All I want is a fair name.”

"Geet, please...I need to talk to you…! Say something damnit.”

“Maan…”

“You do believe me right?? You know I can't do what she is accusing me of…!!”

“Maan suniye...Sameera last 2 mahine se india mein hain...Aur woh 3 weeks se pregnant hain.. Iss beech woh kahi aur nahin gayi...Aur doctor ne ye confirm bhi kiya hain ke woh maa banne wali hain...Hum sab thhey yaha...Woh kisse milti hain kisse nahin sabko pata hain Maan…

Time ke hisab se ye uss waqt ki baat hain jab aapko Australia jana pada!! Aur abhi aapne khud Australia ka zikr kiya. Aisa kyun?? Aapko kaise pata usi waqt ki baat bolegi Sam? Isse 2 month pehle bhi toh aap mile usse. What exactly happen during the last trip Maan?” Geet was keenly observing Maan and the oddness this whole incident had.

“Geettthhh!! Tum...Tum bhi pagal ho gayi ho kiya?? Ye kis taraf ishara…!!" The annoyance in Maan's voice was beyond evident.

“Aap mujhe ussdin kiya batane wale thhey Maan uss raat ke bare mein?? Drinks and then??” After a long, Geet was looking at him, “I...Main...Mujhe...Par.." Her piercing eyes made him fumble badly, "No... It's not possible...If I have...I would have known it Geet…!!”

“So?? You can't say it for sure…!”

"Fantastic." He snapped his eyes shut, seething, "You made my Mishty doubt me now. You just want to break our relationship, are you satisfied now?"

"Maan, relax. I just have one question. What happened in Australia on that night after the drink?"

"Nothing. I slept. Other than this I don't remember shit.

I am tired, Can we do this alone, please?? Or some other day? It's boring and making me yawn." The hurling accusations made Maan agitated shortly, but he resorted back to his calm nonchalant aura soon.

"Did you find her clothes like undergarment or anything after waking up, yes or no?"

"Full-fledged interrogation! Fantastic..And we are doing this in public. Ok!" Geet heard his sarcastic tone as he leaned towards the wall behind him.

"Yes or No?" Geet was consistent with her track.

Looking directly at Geet, he shoot, "Ask me directly, Did I sleep with her or not!" Geet's hazels flickered immediately, "It's ok. You have every right to ask Mishty." Maan said in a strangely gentle voice.

"He won't answer now. He will also deny it didn't just happen that night. But also when we were in absolute senses. The fact that Maan is the one who came to me and initiated everything."

"I don't have an evil twin. Trust me you badly need a psychiatrist." Sensing all of the eyes judging him furiously, he rather smirked.

"Dodge it all you want. It is your child and you know it.

And you know what this is not even about having your love or marrying you!!!

But you should know what you did in your little twisted games. All this pretense and false promises that you made to me. Everyone should know what your real face is.

What did you tell Geet?? Why did you not contact her in last 5 years Maan?? How much Geet even knows about your extra activities in London? I am not the only one you slept with. Now don't be so modest! The image of "I don't even stare at any girl" - is just a reverse trap, a calculated facade by you Maan. I have shown Geet the photographs.."

"You all are going to hear this shit? Good, because I won't." He grabbed Geet's hand in front of everyone and started to leave.

"Yes run away like a coward. That's exactly what you are. You are marrying Geet to inherit all the Handa property. Girls are so easy to fool. Just sweet talk them, make a few promises. And it's that easy to conceal the dual identity you have. Geet is perfect for you, she is young and because she is a sheep who can't see through your fakeness. But I can, that's why you just used and throw me."

"Baffling." This time Maan laughed loudly, asking Geet, "Just tell me, You are not believing any of this fantasy fiction?"

"You didn't answer Maan. What did you see when you woke up?" Geet didn't budge from her previous question, making Maan irritated on a whole another level.

"You trust me, or not?" His eyebrows furrowed, gaze fixed at Geet.

"What did you see when you woke up?"

"You don't trust me!!"

"So, could it be that... You have been lying to me this whole time...I.." She couldn't finish with the abrupt jerk!

"I saw Sameera laying beside." Words ruthless than winter snow was hurled on Geet by the devil of her dreams, yet those eyes churned lava, "And, She was this close to me!" Holding her almost in his arms, Maan whispered in her ears, evoking goosebumps.
