Chapter 16
a month has passed so quickly, Maan and i spent it in London as our honey moon. i didnt want to go back to India at all, their apartment is twice bigger than the one we live in, which is in his company. he told me that he will buy a house but i refused, i am so used on living in a small, one floor apartment where everything is next and near me. even when he said that he would buy an apartment for us, i told him that i love the one at the company.. everything started there.. and i just dont want to leave it, its livable anyway. going back to India only meant, going back to school.. i still have one year left in high school and this year it will be different, very different.
the first day of school, i opened my eyes to see Maan sleeping next to me.. with his cute, sleepy face i smiled.. at 6:30 am, and everyday for the past 2 years, i've been jumping out of bed, running towards the window to look at him.. but not today, he is sleeping right in front of me with his messy hair and knotted eyebrows, i slowly kissed his cheek and got up, i got my towels and went to the bathroom, once i finished i came out with the towel around me, to see Maan lying down, blinking sleepily at me "hey" he smiled
"good morning" i sat on the bed
"what time is it?" he yawned
"6:45" i know its too early for him to go to work, so i held his hand and smiled "go back to sleep, i will ask Abbas to drop me"
"no" he sat on bed "you're my wife not his" he smiled getting up
"haan but its too early for you" he walked inside the bathroom with his towels ignoring me, i sighed and got my uniform out.. there should be a rule that married students should have a special uniform.. this one looks so teenagerish. i put it on me and had my hair as a ponytail and then looked at my wedding ring, it has a huge diamond on it but its still my wedding ring and i have to wear it, i took my school bag, put it cross my body and then heard the bathroom door open.
Maan came out drying his hair, a towel around his waist, my gaze made him stop and look at me "yes, my angel?" he teased
i realized my mouth was open and i had to close it "dusht" i mumbled as i walked outside the room, heard him laughing at me of course.
i sat in our kitchen table, with my bowl of cereal and started eating, once i heard our bedroom door open i jumped off the chair and got Maan his cup of coffee "coffee?" i said smiling at him
"thanks" he smiled back, showing me his fainting dimples. he was looking like a real businessman, and it made me blush.. im here wearing my school uniform and he's there.. in his black suit with gray tie "wearing your ring?" he asked looking at my hand
"i shouldnt?"
"no its ok" he smiled "it's just big na?"
"haan" i nodded looking at it "i dont want to take it off when im out though"
"hm" he nodded thinking about something, i know that look.. i love it cause he seems thoughtful about a certain thing
"well.. it's almost 7 now" i interrupted him
"haan.. chalo" he put his cup down and we walked outside the apartment
i realized that whenever we are in the car and he's driving, i would be holding his hand, leaning my head on the seat and just smiling at him, he would look at me and smile but then focus on the road.. i just love looking at him driving. we stopped at our school and i sighed "well.. this is it i guess" i said
he was looking outside the window "yeah.. sure"
i looked at where his eyes were and laughed "Maan, they are just boys" he was staring at a group of boys standing at the school gate
he is already frowning "didnt know boys go to the same school"
"theyve been there every since this school was opened" he smiled and i held his hand tightly , leaning towards him "you are the only man in my life" i whispered as i kissed him
"i know but i dont know about them.."
i giggled "dont worry.. they never hit on me" i opened the car's door but then stopped, i was still holding his hand tight not wanting to let go
"Geet?" he called me softly
i turned and looked back at him "this is weird" i said
"what is?" i bit my lip looking at him "oh damn! i forgot to give you money"
"no Maan.. not that, i have already" he looked at me confused "it's just that.." i looked at how i was holding his hand "for the past 2 years.. i've been waking up every morning to see you and then go to school with a big smile.. now you're here.." i paused "i dont want to let you go.."
"ah Geet" he pulled me closer to him then hugged me "you will have to get used to me every morning sleeping next to you" i giggled "i wont go anywhere"
"i wont let you" i whispered, i moved back and he leaned and kissed me softly "i guess i have enough power to leave now"
he giggled "i will pick you up at 2"
i nodded and left the car, the moment i stepped inside the yard of the school, i heard Maan's car driving away. when i was inside school, every single student was staring at me, whispering.. it made me feel uncomfortable, cause it never happened to me before.. i checked my clothes but nothing is wrong, when i looked ahead i saw someone i recognized, i looked closer and gasped "ELA" i shouted running towards her, she looked at me running towards her and started looking around "where THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!?"
"Geet.. please"
"please what?! i have been calling you, GOING TO YOUR HOUSE! but your mother kept having excuses for you.. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?"
she sighed and grabbed my arm, walked outside the alley "she doesnt want you to be my friend anymore"
i blinked at her "say another joke"
"im serious"
"did she just realize that im your friend or something? where was she all these 10 years?"
she looked down "she thinks you're a bad influence on me"
i laughed, but Ela was looking at me with a straight face "you're serious?"
i saw tears in her eyes "Javed broke up with me after we had sex" my jaw hit the floor "and i dont know how she linked you to this so she sent me to Kolkata with Anne" she looked away "i wanted to talk to you so bad.. but.. i couldnt" i saw a tear fall and my heart ached "he never loved me Geet" she said
"God Ela" i hugged her tightly and she started crying silently "i swear to God, i will beat him up once i see him"
she giggled softly "i know how crazy you are, but dont do anything to him.. he's not worth it"
"ye, i dont want to.." i held my left hand up "dirt up my ring!" i grinned at her
"the rumors are true?!" she was shocked
"rumors?" i looked at her confused "why rumors?"
"it's all over the school, since i stepped in.. Geet Handa got married"
"ah Priya right?"
"hello Geet"
i looked back and there she was, with her blond hair, high heels and very short skirt, not to mention tight as well "speaking of the devil" i smiled at her
"i heard you got married?"
"sorry you werent invited" i looked back at Ela
"ha ha.." she started laughing hysterically that i had to look back and make sure she doesnt faint "you're funny Geet.." she looked down at my hand "that's the ring?"
"yes"
"looks fake" she smiled at me
"so does your hair.."
she laughed hysterically again then stopped "i will see you in class.. wifey" she looked down at me then left
i was about to attack her when Ela held my arm "chaloo!" she dragged me to class
when i walked inside Math class, everyone was quiet and looking at me as if i was a monster, me and Ela sat next to each other and then came good ol' Mr. Mehta "everyone is quiet today for a change" he smiled at everyone then looked at me "Geet!" he said
"ji"
"i heard that you got married?"
"haan, sir" i smiled proudly at him
"congratulations!" he sounded really happy for me
"thanks, sir"
after Math was English, me and Ela were happy that we have the same classes together even though she said after school we will have to act like strangers, but i told her that i will pay a visit to her mother and show her how good of a friend i am "good morning class" Miss. Tina came in with her summer dress and beautiful long hair, and after that the big question should be asked "what did you all do in summer vacation?" she looked around and randomly pointed at me "Miss. Geet please"
i smiled "well.. i got married" i said honestly, everyone giggled and i dont know what was funny about that
"quiet class" Miss. Tina said firmly, then she smiled at me "that's really nice Geet, congratulations"
"thanks" i smiled
"did you have a honey moon?"
"yeah" i smiled shyly "we went to London"
"liar" Priya said it out loud
"Miss. Priya!" Miss. Tina gave her a warning look, then back at me "would you like to share the experience.. talk about your husband?"
i sighed "well.. his name is Maan.. he owns Khurana Telecom Company"
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted
"class please.." Miss. Tina looked at me worried "how old is he if i may ask?"
"30"
"that old hag.." Priya giggled saying that
i felt my blood boil, i got up and walked behind me where she was, lifted my hand and slapped her on her cheek, her face turned "you could say whatever you want about me, but one more word about my husband and you will get a harder slap than this one" i felt everyone's gaze on me, i looked around and realized what i did.. i stood straight and looked at Miss. Tina "i apologize"
"that's fine Mrs. Geet" she smiled at me and i smiled back, no one called me that yet here.. and i am happy to be Mrs now
first school day was over, after my slap to Priya, everyone respected me more and were more friendly. before we walk outside school, me and Ela hugged and i promised her to fix things with her mother. once i was at the school gate, i saw Maan leaning back on his car waiting for me, i smiled as i saw his big grin, i ran towards him, jumped and hugged him tightly "woha!" he giggled hugging me back
"i'm so used to spending the whole day with you, today sucked!" i complained still hugging him
"i missed you too Geet" he said softly, kissing my head
i moved back and looked at him "oops.." i said, slowly getting down "im sorry" i blushed
he giggled then kissed my forehead "chalo.." i nodded and we got inside the car, i held his hand and we both started talking about our days, he was talking about meetings and business and i was talking about classes and.. Priya "you slapped a girl?" he laughed
"yes! she really got on my nerves Maan" i sighed "and it felt good" i giggled
"really? wow" he smiled parking the car ""that is a new side of you"
i looked at him and bit my lip "childish na?"
"no" he smiled at me "not at all"
we walked inside the apartment "Maan, what do you want for lunch?" i asked as i put my bag down on the bed
"you wont cook lunch Geet" i looked at him confused "someone comes and cooks for us.."
"no, i want to cook.."
"but Geet.. she's been cooking for me for too long, nice lady"
"you dont want to eat my food?" i pouted
"ah.. God" he put his arms around me and hugged me "ok.. we will eat your food.."
"yay!" i giggled looking at him
"you could get away with anything, just by pouting and looking like that to me"
"im glad i have my weapon" i winked at him
"i have mine.." he put his hands on my waist then lied me down on bed slowly got on top of me "i would love to go on with my weapon but im afraid i have to go back to work" he said as his arms were around my waist
i smiled and started brushing his hair with my fingers "i will wait for you then.."
he kissed my hand and leaned to kiss me "dont.. i will be late, have lunch.. do homeworks an.."
"no, i want you to share my plate" i pushed myself up and kissed him "cant eat alone anymore"
he looked at me sweetly, not smiling.. just looking into my eyes, into my soul.. touching it, making my heart beat fast.. making my breath increase, he leaned down and kissed my passionately, he moved back to let me breath but i kissed him again "Geet.." he said finally breaking the kiss "im going to work.. i have to"
i giggled "good luck"
"thank you.." he sighed and got off me, i walked him outside the apartment
i took a shower, did my homeworks, called mom.. told her about the incident in school and she agreed with Priya which irritated me so i hang up with an excuse "i have to go to the bathroom" after few minutes, Amit called, i told him the same story and he agreed with me.. made me wonder who is my real parent? after that, i cooked lunch and then at 5:30 the elevator opened and Maan walked in "Maan" i ran towards him but then stopped, his arms are behind his back "kya hua?" i got worried
"what?"
"are you ok?" i put my hands on his shoulders
"haan why?"
i blinked at him, he was hiding his smile "what are you hiding?"
"me? nothing" he started whistling walking towards the sofa, of course walking facing me
"Maan?" i walked towards him but he moved back "AH!" i put my arms around him and was about to reach for his hands when he brought them forward
"ok ok ok!" there was a small white bag in his hand "here" he smiled at me
i stood on my toes looking inside the bag "yeh kya hai?"
"take what's inside.." i put my hand inside and got a box out, it was wrapped with this cute red paper, i looked at Maan puzzled "well" he put the bag on the sofa and took the box from my hand "you were complaining about how big the ring is" he unwrapped the paper and opened the box "so i bought this.. it's smaller.. nicer.. and you can wear it anywhere.." i looked at the ring, it was beautiful.. had small diamonds shining around the silver round shaped ring, i looked at Maan with teary eyes, his smile faded "you dont like it?" he looked inside the box and got the ring out, threw the box away "try it"
he looked really worried that i didnt like the ring but instead of trying it, i jumped on Maan, circled my legs around his stomach and my arms around his neck "i love it" i whispered hugging
"Geet" he laughed hugging me, trying to balance us so that we dont fall "this was a sudden reaction"
"sorry" i giggled looking at him "its beautiful.."
"i knew you'd like it.. it's so you" i smiled at him "is this what im going to get everytime i bring you somthing?"
i laughed "probably"
"i should think of something for tomorrow" he giggled as i was laughing still, then i put my forehead on his and smiled "i love you" he whispered
"i love you more" i whispered as i felt him kissing my forehead.
PRECAP
"Aftab" i sighed "im married.. i am in love with my husband.. whatever you are saying now has no ef.." but before i finish, he put his hands on my cheeks and kissed me powerfully that i think he hurt my lip, i quickly pushed him off me "BACK OFF AFTAB!" i warned him then started running away from him, i got inside the bathroom and looked at my face in the mirror, i felt sick.. i felt disgusted with myself, i started washing my face with soap and water, cleaning my mouth.. i was crying, i didnt want this to happen but it made me feel sick with myself, my stomach already turning with the thought that someone else other than Maan kissed me today
