Amazing update Laxmi!

I'm also curious on why Maan hates flowers .. and if it's got nothing to do w/ Sameera .. then who?

And aww ... Geet used her only weapon, her tears, to get Maan to spill the beans

Cant wait for the next update!!

Nothing Can Keep Us Apart

Part 37 - Let me go home

Maan stood looking out the window, but not seeing anything, so turned inward were his thoughts. The day that had started out so wonderfully had slowly turned into a nightmare almost as bad as the one he had the previous night. First Geet's crying session, then that phone call, and now this. Geet, his Geet, prodding him about the most painful part of his past, wanting to know about things that he was desperate to forget. Looking back at his wife's tearful face he admitted that as he knew her past, it was probably only fair the she knew his. He just didn't know if he could stand to share it.

"Geet," said Maan slowly, "I know Dadima told you a little about my parents, how my mother left and married someone else. Did she tell you who my stepfather was?" Geet shook her head no.

"His name was Amir Jhadev and his family had a heavy influence in the politics of Banaras and Uttar Pradesh. I don't know anything about what their early life together was like. I was with my father in Canada, and my mother never even tried to phone or see me. Then, not too long after he was elected to Parliament, my mother began seeking visitation rights, and that's when I moved back to live with my grandparents. The deal that was eventually reached was that my mother could come visit me whenever she wanted, and I had to spend at least half of my school vacations with her."

"I can't remember a single time that she actually came to visit me. She would phone up sometimes and ask me about my school and friends, things like that. I didn't really mind that. I was happy with Dada and Dadima and I got to see Bua and Vicky almost every day, I didn't need my mother too." At this statement Geet thought that he did need a mother, but he needed a better one than he got.

"It sometimes amazes me, how good a person Dadima is. The first time I had to go to my mothers house, she told me that I should not let what happened in the past affect my relationship with my mother. She said that, about the woman who abandoned her son and grandson for another man. It didn't make much difference as the present was pretty much as bad as the past, though in a different way."

"What way?" questioned Geet, when Maan paused.

"I don't know what kind of politician my stepfather was, but I do know that he was a bad husband. From what I could tell, my mother seemed to worship the ground he walked on, but he certainly didn't feel the same way. If any little thing in his life went wrong, it was her fault. He would yell and scream at her, complaining that he didn't know why he married her. Then he would go and find someone to have an affair with. Sometimes he even brought his women to the house, right under my mother's nose. The affairs never lasted more than a week or two. Then he would apologize by sending hundreds flower bouquets, expensive sarees and jewelry, promising never to do it again. My mother would forgive him and they'd seem happy for awhile, until it started all over again."

Geet was shocked by what Maan was telling her. She couldn't believe that he'd kept it to himself all these years. She wasn't even sure what she could say to Maan to try and undo the damage that had been done to him from his mother and stepfather's behavior. However, Maan wasn't finished telling her the whole story.

"You know, I could never figure out why my mother stayed with him. I asked her once when I was 10, but all she would ever say to me was that he loved her and she loved him. I didn't really care, and just tried to stay away from both of them as much as possible. It wasn't too hard when they were together, because they didn't really want me, I was just a way for them to try and win family votes in elections. They would drag me to a few political functions each year, but otherwise I was allowed to spend my time as I wished. Things went on like that until I was 12."

"The summer I was 12, Bua started feeling unwell. I wanted to stay home till she was better, but I had to go to my mother's house. Every day I was there I would ask my mother to let me go home. Every time I asked she would say no, that she needed me. That's what she would always say to me when he was with one of his women. It didn't matter to her that my Bua was sick, only her grief and loneliness was important."

Up to this point Maan had stood statue-like at the window, Geet holding his hand, listening quietly as he told her everything. Then suddenly, almost involuntarily, Maan removed his hand from Geet's and started pacing the floor. His movements reminded Geet of a caged lion, and she had a terrible feeling about what he would tell her next.

"After a few weeks the doctors found out that Bua had breast cancer. No one was expecting it because she was so young, only just 30 years old. They started treatment immediately, but it didn't help, the cancer just kept spreading. I literally begged my mother every day to let me go home. I explained how sick Bua was, but she just ignored me. Poor Vicky was only 6, and when his mom was admitted to the hospital he used to call me every day, asking when I would come home. He thought if I came home everything would be alright. I kept telling him that I would come soon, but I knew it was a lie."

"Two weeks after Bua went to the hospital, I woke up one morning and saw the numerous bouquets of flowers that indicated they had made up. I rushed to ask permission to go home and when it was given I was gone within 30 minutes. I took the earliest flight back to Delhi that I could and rushed to the hospital. I knew it would take a miracle for Bua to survive, but I wanted to she her before she died. I wanted to tell her thanks for all she had done and that I would watch over Vicky for her. I didn't get to do any of those things. When I arrived at the hospital they told me she died two hours before I got there."

"I can't describe how much I hated my mother and stepfather for keeping me from seeing Bua before she died. I had to keep visiting them as per the custody agreement, but I never spoke to them again. When they died in a boating accident a few years later I was relieved to be rid of them. They both brought nothing but pain and unhappiness to my life."

"You wanted to know why I hate flowers. I can understand why you would wonder. Most people see beauty and delicacy when they look at a flower. Shall I tell you what I see? I see pain and selfishness and death."

Maan finally looked at Geet's face, only to see tears streaming down her face. She had started crying silently when Maan had told of not being allowed to go home to see his Bua. It was a direct reaction to the pain she could feel radiating from Maan as he narrated his story. She ached for the young, 12 year old boy, who had obviously been forced by circumstances to mature beyond his years. Not only that, he had been separated from his beloved Bua by the woman who should have cared for him the most, but had only cared for herself.

Maan wanted to apologized to Geet for making her cry again, but after all he had told her, he felt like he had no words left. Geet seemed to understand, for she walked over to him slowly, never taking her eyes off of his, until she stood only inches away. Both of them stood there, gazing at each other, time standing still as they were lost in each other's eyes. Geet broke the gaze first, leaning forward to place her arms around his waist and her head on his chest. Maan responded by placing his arms tightly around her and resting his chin on her head. Husband and wife stayed like that for some time, silently giving comfort to each other.

Precap:
"I don't understand why you're so obsessed with what to wear today, we're just going for an outing, not a fancy party."

And Thanks Goes To:
