To Love Again - Part 24
Maan took Geet to the doctor as they were supposed to do a scan on Tuesday. Geet was abit tensed but being her pillar of strength, Maan at her side relieved her. He watched the doctor doing the scan and saw the baby moving within her, making him to fall more on her and the baby. He heard the baby's heart beat which followed the rythm of hers, which he felt as an electric shock wave ran through his body.
On their way to the car, Geet stopped to tell Maan something 'Maan! May I ask you something?' He halted and turned to face Geet, who was trying to keep pace with his speed. 'Oh! Sorry, yes you can' he pulled out his hand so that she could hold on it. 'No, you will get mad' she refused thinking that it will make him angry. He held her face and smiled at her looking at her deep eyes, saying that what ever she wanted, she could always ask him. She tested his patience repeating that he would definetly get mad at her.
Maan lost his patience after a while, as Geet kept on repeating the samething 'Geet, what's your problem? I wonder what is wrong with you, ladies'. 'See, Maan you are mad, didn't I tell that you will get angry?' she stopped infront of him as he started to walk away. He smiled at her and told 'Geet, I know that you don't have any thing to talk now, but still you are trying to talk' and walked towards the car, holding her next to him.
'Maan? Actually I wanted to ask which colour should we use to paint the baby's room' Geet asked while sitting on the seat next to Maan. 'Geet! We will colour it in pink as it will be a girl' he tilted his head to her side as he answered. 'How mean? I know it is a boy. Daadima told me that if the baby kicks so much then it will be a boy' she answered him with what she learned from Daadima. So, Daadima has told this to Geet and being a fool she believed that. Maan laughed at her foolishness. 'Geet! So you believed Daadima?' he managed to say within his laughter. Geet become annoyed at this and turned her face, so that she could she see the view of the places at the road side.
'Stop the car, Maan' she told him as she saw a children's park, where lot of kids were playing happily. She stepped out of the car and went inside. Maan stopped at the car, thinking that she needed to be left alone for a while, and looked at the kids in the park. He was awakened from his dream, with a banging on the door of his car. 'Sir, please buy some flowers' a small boy offered him a boquet of white roses. He gave the boy some money and took the flowers and told the boy to keep the change. 'Sir, May all your wishes come true' the boy said kissing the money Maan offered.
Geet was sitting on a bench, when a small girl walked to her and gave her the boquet Maan sent to her. She smiled at the girl and kissed her forehead before asking who gave it. The girl pointed a finger at Maan, who was standing there smiling at them and Geet walked to him to say thank you.
Geet opened her wardrobe and saw a gift attached with a white rose. She opened it and saw a white dress with a note
'Geet
I know it would be really difficult for you to hang on the heavy clothing now, so please wear this dress and come down stairs for dinner.
Geet's Maan'
She forgot that she was seven months pregnant and started dancing with her dress. She loved the feather light material on her and felt comfortable.
Maan stood next to the stairs and watched Geet coming downstairs, dressed in white and looked like an angel in the dim light. He was mesmerized in her beauty, being seven months pregnant she still has the power to melt him. To him, she is the most beautiful being on the earth. He took her to the dinner table, which he arranged by himself and offered her a chair to sit. He complimented her, as they enjoyed their dinner.
He took her by surprise after dinner and danced with her. He breathed in her scent, which he always longed for, burying his face in her silky hair. He listened to every beat of her heart and enjoyed the involvement of their baby in between. Geet also managed the same intense and passion he kept, sharing the warm breaths against each other. He carried her into the room and closed the door behind, never wanting anyone to disturb them.
******************************
'My sweet little baby, please take care of your mama as well, when your dad is away' Maan got up after kissing Geet's belly and held her face to bid her good bye, promising that he would call her every now and then.
Daadima and Geet waved at Maan as he started his car. Daadima put her arm across Geet's shoulder and led her inside, while talking about the arrangements with the baby shower (godh barai)
Maan attended the meeting soon after reaching Pune. He knew that he has to settle everything before it was too late, if not the whole Khurana constructions will loose it's reputation. He tried to clear the whole mess by talking to the clients, but was unable to do so. Finally Maan decided to talk to the head of the Sapphire Groups, denying the requests of the clients.
Maan waited in the conference room for more than an hour, expecting the Managing Director of the Sapphire Groups. He cursed the MD, deep from his heart, for making him to wait for so long. Finally, the door opened and a lady in a designer sari, walked in and stopped at the edge of the table.
'Mr.Maan Singh Khurana! Glad to meet you after all these years' It was Sameera, standing infront of him. He found it difficult to believe that she was there speaking to him like this. 'So, you have two choices, either you accept our requirments or you can withdraw, but with huge amounts of losses and I won't leave you so easily. By the way, you are still so handsome and sexy' Maan listened to every word she spoke and answered her 'Miss Samira Kapoor! I don't mind facing losses or dealing with legal matters, but I will never ever do any thing for you, and this also has happened because of your lies, with the involvement of another company. Remember, people like you has no value infront of Maan Singh Khurana' he closed the door hard and walked away.
Maan called Geet at night and told that he would be coming the very next day, as the matter was over. Geet noticed the discomfort in voice and wondered how could he dealt with all those issues so quickly, but didn't ask anything from him.
Maan went directly into Daadima's room as soon as he came home. He sat on the bed next to Daadima and explained the matter to her 'Daadima, I can't believe that Sameera will try to fool me again. I am not going to let anything bad to happen this time, Daadima. I will never leave Sameera' Daadima patted her grand son's arm to support him.
'Who is Sameera?' Daadima and Maan exchanged a quick glance and looked at Geet, who stood at the door, with a confused look.
