But I didnt understand what he meant by this "In terms of her decision about her marriage'yes it doesn't affect me'it was hers to make'" Of course he has to be affected by her decision on marriage. Even if he's saying it with the intention of not letting her know his feelings or her being happy as the ultimate outcome for him but he would still be affected by that...haina?
You are most welcome hun :-D Dont tempt me with those words cause I can sooo write so much more hahah :-) Truly! I wondered why Maan was acting so distant. I can understand his wariness in facing the situation, giving her space, etc but I was expecting him to be give some comfort which I did point out. Did I miss anything that should have told me why he was acting this cold? I read thoroughly so dont know what I might have missed but now I'm very curious. But I cant wait till you do cover it next. And you can ALWAYS post more (never thing its too long cause it can never be for us ;-p )Originally posted by: Hasini67
Are you kidding me...I could read up another page or book of your analysis...Thank you so much...the fact that you have taken so much time to write is by itself a true honor...
Thank you once again....
This part was already long and I was struggling to write from both sides...which you had clearly pointed out..š
The part that I did want to put in was why Maan reacting all that cold...hopefully I will be able to cover it in the next part or two...but this post was already long.
Don't expect too much...they are not going to confront each other for some time...about this chath waala fight.
We need more twist before they confront.
Thanks

Part 29: The severe case of Mono...
<Geet's monologue>
I wasn't sure how I was going to face him in officeā¦the weekend passed by without having to reach out to himā¦and he didn't call me either.
Okā¦.If he wants to be Maan Singh Khurana then main bhiā¦Geet Khuā¦Geetā¦Sirfā¦Geetā¦
Ab vunko kuch farak nahi padta hain to kya huaā¦.Fineā¦if he wants to be like that water drop on a lotus leafā¦vo bhi chalegaā¦I will treat him the same way as well.
Lekinā¦.that weekend with him at Niagaraā¦He was holding me when I was crying out of happiness and this time he knew I was hurt and he didn't even make an effort to come closerā¦Babajiā¦How am I ever going to understand him? Is it me or is it him?
I reached office on time and the next thing I did was to check if I had any mails from him. No mailsā¦next checked the calendar for any meeting from himā¦hmmm one at 2.30 PMā¦but it was a conf callā¦and there were 3 other peopleā¦
I was seriously missing him in officeā¦I had a split soul that dayā¦my mind wanted to stay away from him and my heart badly wanted to look for him in officeā¦even a glance would doā¦
It was 2.30 I dialed into the conf callā¦we called out the attendance and waited for him to start the agendaā¦
He was coughingā¦
Maan:"Helloā¦Thank you for joining the call"
He coughed again, severe congestion and also seemed like a sore throatā¦
Maan:" I'm not feeling wellā¦and so Josh will be leading this call..he knows the requirementsā¦"
Yash:"MKā¦what happened?"
Maan:" I don't believe it, but doctor says its Monoā¦I think I will be in only next weekā¦"
Everyone on the phone started laughingā¦
Yash:" MKā¦looks like you have been partying too muchā¦"
The call continuedā¦I couldn't suppress my curiosityā¦
I goggledā¦
Causes of Monoā¦
It returned instantly..and I clicked one to find out what and how its spreadā¦Chi chi Babajiā¦The image on the website was that of two people kissingā¦
"Infectious mononucleosis, "mono," "kissing disease," and glandular feverā¦."I couldn't complete my sentenceā¦
What was I readingā¦What was Maan upto? I struggled to continue at officeā¦
I left early and went homeā¦He was just one floor above and I could probably give a shout out from the patio as wellā¦I just didn't have it in meā¦I tried doing so many thingsā¦I did laundryā¦I washed everything in my closetā¦our bed linensā¦I still had timeā¦I even did Meer's laundryā¦It was still only 9.30ā¦I couldn't take itā¦I took the elevator and went straight to his placeā¦
Nakul got the door for meā¦
Geet:' Maan ghar pe hainā¦"
Nakul:" Haanā¦.Sir jiā¦lete hue hainā¦.so nahin pa raheā¦"
Geet:" Acchaā¦mere saath please aayiyeā¦"
Nakul:" Sir jiā¦Geet Maamā¦."
He was lying on his bedā¦his eyes were swollen and redā¦his hair was messed upā¦he was under atleast 2 sheets and a comforterā¦his throat had swollen tooā¦
Geet:" Aapke Sir se poochiye ki ye sab kaise huaā¦"
Maan:" Nakulā¦ab tum jaoā¦hum baat kar lengeā¦"
Geet:" Nahinā¦aap kahin nahin jaayengeā¦"
Maan:" Nakulā¦ab tum nahin gaye toā¦main tumhe India bech doonga daadima ke pass.."
Nakul:" Jiā¦Sir Jiā¦main aap dono ke beech nahin aana chahta hoonā¦"
Becharaā¦he walked awayā¦
Maan:" Tumhe jo bhi baat karna haiā¦to mujse seeda seeda bol Geetā¦I don't want messengersā¦"
Geet:" How are you now?"
I asked in a stern voiceā¦I wanted to make sure there was no ounce of care in it and that it was just a usual enquiryā¦
Maan:" How do you think I am?"
He didn't want to answerā¦okā¦I will not question any furtherā¦
Geet:" What did you eat?"
Maan:" Nakul gave me some oatsā¦but I'm unable to swallowā¦"
Geet:" That doesn't tell me if you ate anything or notā¦"
Maan:" I didn'tā¦samaj gayiā¦yah mujhe aur explanation dena hai?"
<Maan's monologue>
I was expecting her to show up since our conf callā¦and she managed to stay away for more than 7 hoursā¦good goingā¦Keep it up Geetā¦
I didn't want to give in eitherā¦that nightā¦I did not expect her to handle Shasha's question that wayā¦I was deeply hurtā¦ a simple "Mind your business" could have done itā¦but she chose the one that I would never want her to go forā¦ I didn't have any expectation from her when I came back from Phoenix, but when she told me that she didn't expect much or miss Dev anymoreā¦I was partly convinced that she was getting over him as her husbandā¦That also took care of my guilt in regards to our closeness during the entire tripā¦He had already stopped loving her and she in her own way did not miss Dev and that to me is the end of whatever they sharedā¦my world came crashing when she mentioned Dev and how she used their non-existent relationship as a coverā¦At that moment I didn't know what she was hoping for her in her heartā¦I wanted to stay as far as I couldā¦I was only glad that I didn't run away as well and hurt her in the processā¦I want her to truly want meā¦I want her to revive my faith in womenā¦is it too much to expect, I wasn't sureā¦I didn't want my love for her to influence her decision about her marriageā¦She was my love and my life and it didn't matter if she was mine or notā¦I had declared once and have paid for itā¦this time I was not going to ask any questions for which I didn't already know the answersā¦
I don't expect her to woo meā¦all I expect from her is to ponder and figure out what went wrong that dayā¦She could have just been truthful and handled things my wayā¦
She had left immediately when I told her that I had not eaten anythingā¦I continued hearing sounds from the kitchenā¦wondering what she is up toā¦
She came backā¦with a bowl of soupā¦or at least it seemed soā¦
Geet:" I have overcooked the oats even more and blended it ā¦you should be able to drink it nowā¦"
She gave me the bowlā¦I took and kept it on the bedside tableā¦to sit up properlyā¦
Geet:" You know whatā¦whatever it is that happenedā¦we can talk laterā¦Aapka gussa khane pe mat nikhaliyeā¦"
Maan:" And you need to know that I was trying to sit up properlyā¦"
I started drinking the oats with a spoonā¦it was much easier nowā¦.things do taste different with a women's touchā¦
She was fidgeting with her Dupattaā¦She was nervousā¦seemed like she was waiting to throw me some questionsā¦
Maan:" Agar kuch pooch na hainā¦toh just askā¦"
Geet:" Doctor ne kya kahaā¦"
Maan:" He has prescribed medicinesā¦it will at least take a week to go downā¦I have never had Monoā¦so I don't have the antibodies appartentlyā¦"
Geet:" Aurā¦yeh Mono kaise huaā¦aapkoā¦chi chiā¦maine pada iske baare meinā¦"
I had to break out into laughterā¦but I couldn't talk much eitherā¦my throat was hurtingā¦I badly wanted to tease her with a made up episode of how I kissed a girlā¦but today was not the dayā¦
Maan:" It's not what you thinkā¦.I didn't kiss a girlā¦"
Geet:" Lekinā¦internet pe toā¦"
Maan:" It just needs saliva transferā¦that night I was angry and went out for a walkā¦I was cold and stopped near a street fire pitā¦somebody was smoking a joint and I hit a few puffsā¦"
Geet:" What?....Aap ye sab karte hain?"
Maan:" Geetā¦it was just the one timeā¦I was not thinking straightā¦Don't imagine thingsā¦"
She was hurt badlyā¦she didn't expect that from meā¦even I didn't expect that from meā¦I just couldn't handle how Dev had resurfaced between us that nightā¦at least that is how I feltā¦his thoughts must have been lurking around for her to spurt out something like thatā¦for the Geet I knew would have only spoken the truthā¦she didn't believe in cover upsā¦
She asked me if I had taken my antibioticsā¦I answered yes in a nodā¦She once again asked me if I wanted some vapor rubā¦I could actually use someā¦but I called out for Nakulā¦
Geet:"Main leke avoongiā¦mujhe boliye Maan ki kahan hainā¦"
Maan:"Nahin..Nakul le ke ayega..." He was already there and got me the vapor run too and left the roomā¦
She was seated in the loveseat far away from the bedā¦
When I was about to open the vapor rub and apply itā¦She came running and snatched it from meā¦
Geet:"Mainā¦laga thi hoonā¦aur iska matlab ye nahi kiā¦"
Maan:"You don't have to keep repeatingā¦I'm definitely staying away from youā¦."
I could see her hurt in her eyesā¦but she wasn't falling back eitherā¦
She applied the vapor rub around my throat,forehead, noesā¦just below my collar bonesā¦she was about to apply it on my chestā¦when I stopped herā¦
Maan:" Bas yeh teek hainā¦"
I didn't want her to stay any longerā¦she was slowly melting meā¦
Geet:" Ab aap so jaayeā¦"
She sort of tucked in the blanket and comforter and walked to the living roomā¦
I was glad she was leavingā¦but the fact that she didn't say bye to me bothered meā¦
I couldn't sleep for a long timeā¦.I walked to get some warm waterā¦
"Aapko kuch chaiyeā¦"
I was shockedā¦I didn't expect anyone thereā¦
She was lying down on the couch and got up when I walked into the kitchenā¦
Maan:" Geetā¦you are still here?"
Geet:" Jiā¦actually sogayiā¦"
<Geet's monologue>
I wanted to stay backā¦I dint know what else to tell himā¦I wasn't sure if he would need anything during the course of the nightā¦I'm not getting out of here no matter whatā¦
Maan:"I'm goodā¦.I think you shouldā¦"
He hesitatedā¦he didn't want to ask me to go back to the apartment eitherā¦and I didn't want to tell him that I wanted to stay back eitherā¦
She walked towards me and touched my forehead to check for my temperatureā¦
Geet:"Ab bhi bhukar hainā¦aapko so jaana chaiyeā¦"
<Maan's monologue>
I just couldn't help wonder how much she cared for meā¦It had been a long time since I had received such affection from the opposite gender other than Daadimaā¦I wanted to hug her and say thank youā¦
Butā¦she was an illusion in my life for nowā¦I didn't know if she really was mineā¦
I wanted to sit down with herā¦but my body couldn't work with my heartā¦It had its mind of its ownā¦I went to bedā¦
She worked from home the whole weekā¦She visited me from time to time and spent most of the time at my apartmentā¦The entire time she was at my placeā¦.she didn't speak or bring up anything other than my health and workā¦
She sometimes worked from the living roomā¦and I was tempted to sit down with her to finish off some reportsā¦but my Id was not giving inā¦not yetā¦
The only good thing that came out of the Mono was that she was much more comfortable at the penthouseā¦She knew everything about itā¦from where the tissues where kept to finding her way through the kitchen cabinetsā¦
It was Friday alreadyā¦we went down to get a cup of coffeeā¦.Meera was there at the coffee shopā¦
Meera:"Hi MKā¦how are you?"
Maan:" I'm goodā¦how are you?"
She went to get her coffeeā¦I stayed back with Meera on the couchā¦I didn't have it in me to stand in the long queueā¦
Meera:" Toh! How are you really feelingā¦"
She came back with some hot water in a cup and gave it to meā¦
Maan:"Lekinā¦mujhe to coffee chaiyeā¦I don't want to have water nowā¦"
Geet:" Maanā¦pehle aap please ye lijiyeā¦I will get the coffeeā¦"
She was commandingā¦must have rubbed off of meā¦she went back to join the long lineā¦And I couldn't help stare at her for how much she cared for meā¦
Meera:" MKā¦If you don't mind can I ask you somethingā¦"
Maan:" Bolo Meeraā¦"
Meera:" Sorry for intrudingā¦but muhje lagta hain kiā¦aap vuse bata dena chaiyeā¦"
I totally knew what she meantā¦but I didn't expect that from herā¦
I spurted the water back in the cupā¦
Maan:" What?...what are you talking about?"
Meera:" I told you I'm sorryā¦but I cannot help notice how you have always treated her differentlyā¦You cannot deny she is specialā¦"
Maan:" Common Meeraā¦there is nothingā¦"
She cut me offā¦
Meera:"From day oneā¦you introduced yourself as Maanā¦whereas you were always MK for usā¦You never hung out with us outside office..and suddenly we were all going out continuouslyā¦You had never come down to our apartment for any emergency in the last one yearā¦and you came down to give her medicine and a letter that was posted by mistakeā¦
And then the vegas tripā¦and then meeting at coffee shops, caf's ā¦what notā¦even if you deny itā¦your eyes says it allā¦"
Maan:" Guilty as chargedā¦"
I was blushingā¦
Maan:" Meera you know the circumstancesā¦I don't think its appropriateā¦nowā¦and for that matterā¦I have not announced my intentions for the same reason you have not announced yours to Yashā¦"
She was surprisedā¦we had never chatted this personally beforeā¦
Meera:"But Yash is a good friendā¦"
Maan:" If Friendship is the new keyword for coverā¦then I will go with that as wellā¦"
Meera:" Maanā¦I don't think I can argue with youā¦"
Maan:" Yesā¦we all know that Meeraā¦when are you going to tell Yash?"
Meera:" I can't propose to himā¦He is the guyā¦he should be proclaimingā¦"
Maan:" Same with meā¦"
Meera:" MKā¦are you serious?"
Maan:" No I didn't mean thatā¦She has to be availableā¦she is still very much marriedā¦atleast that is what she is going around telling everyoneā¦"
Meera:"What do you mean she is telling everyone?"
Maan:"Apparently she ran out of Aakash's engagement party because Shasha questioned her about her relationship with Devā¦and she told her that he still visits her hereā¦"
Meera:" But bechariā¦what else can she do?"
Maan:" Don't say that Meeraā¦she should have told the truthā¦she would have never told anything to do with Dev , if he was still not on her mindā¦"
Meera:"MKā¦things are not always so straight for a girlā¦as it is for youā¦"
She came back with my coffeeā¦we all finished our coffee and were about to leaveā¦
I signaled Meera that I will call her soonā¦
I came to the apartment and I called back Meeraā¦Geet had gone back to her apartmentā¦
Maan:"Meeraā¦continueā¦"
Meera:"I hope there is no misunderstanding between you guys since she said something like thatā¦"
Maan:" Actually give me a minuteā¦"
I was not able to understand I was talking to someone else about my personal stuffā¦I needed a minute to process itā¦I wonder what other Maan Singh Khurana rules she was going to make me breakā¦
Maan:" Yeahā¦actually we have not been talking ever since that nightā¦it got uglyā¦She asked me to stay away from herā¦"
Meera:" You are kidding me rightā¦She has been staying at your place all this weekā¦"
Maan:" She is here alrightā¦but we haven't talkedā¦"
Meera:"What exactly happened.."
I told her the whole thingā¦I felt like two girl friends chit chatting with each otherā¦that was so not meā¦
Meera:"MK, please..she is never going to figure out whatever that is bothering youā¦and you guys have to talkā¦until then you will never know why she said thatā¦"
Maan:" I cannot handle confrontation nowā¦and moreover she has to make a decision on her own about her marriageā¦"
Meera:" Dono Ziddi hainā¦I cannot helpā¦"
Maan:" I guess it's better to leave it at thatā¦so what elseā¦anything newā¦"
Meera:" Noā¦actually not reallyā¦I have joined a bollywood dance groupā¦I'm spending most of my time thereā¦I'm looking for a partnerā¦"
Maan:" You should ask Yashā¦"
Meera:"He already said he is not interestedā¦"
Maan:" Even betterā¦you should ask a hot guy to be your partnerā¦that probably will make Yash jealousā¦and bingoā¦that will serve as a good catalystā¦"
Meera:"Aaj kalā¦whoā¦willā¦actually I don't believe I'm going to ask thisā¦"
I got a whiff of what she meantā¦Noā¦Noā¦.I didn't want to be a part of this.
She wasn't giving up eitherā¦she blackmailed me about ratting me out to Geetā¦
I eventually gave inā¦
Meera:" Mon, Wed, Fri 8.00 PMā¦See you MKā¦come pick me upā¦Yash will be there to eat at my place thenā¦and yeah I will have to call you Maanā¦I cannot call you MK anymoreā¦"
I didn't know what I was getting intoā¦but if I could help bring Yash and Meera togetherā¦I didn't mindā¦
She was already hereā¦getting me soupā¦
<Geet's monologue>
I couldn't believe he was not sorry for being so cold that nightā¦Did it really not matter to him what decision I made about my marriage? I had spent the whole week hereā¦he did thank me for taking care of himā¦but that was not going to cut itā¦he didn't ask me to stop what I was doing for him eitherā¦rather was actually getting used to itā¦He even stopped calling Nakul for things he wantedā¦why would he? I was anyways there with the things he needed before he could ask for itā¦
It could be the balmā¦or new tissue boxā¦or hot waterā¦or steamā¦or an extra blanketā¦
But he was so illā¦I was once again split between my heart and mindā¦of course I let me heart take over my mind for nowā¦but just for nowā¦
