Nothing Can Keep Us Apart
Part 89 - Something important
"Maan, are you asleep?" whispered Geet.
"Yes, and so should you be. We agreed to sleep in on Sundays, remember?"
"But I want to talk to you about something important."
Maan sighed and opened his eyes, turning his head slightly, so that he was facing towards Geet. Looking into her lovely, large eyes, he thanked heaven that he could wake up tothe beautiful sight of his wife in his arms, every morning. Maan couldn't resist her gorgeous lips, reaching out to capture them with his own, for a long and satisfying kiss. Geet responded with enthusiasm, but when she pulled back long before either of them usually ended a kiss, Maan got a hint that she wanted to talk about something important.
"Alright, Mrs. Khurana, what is so important that you want to talk about it this early in the morning?" The question was asked while Maan reached out with his fingers and started playing with Geet's hair.
Geet also couldn't seem to keep her hands to herself, since one hand stole up behind Maan's neck, allowing her fingers to play with the back of his hair. "Well, Mr. Khurana, I want to talk to you about me going back to work in the office tomorrow."
"What? But it hasn't been long enough for you to recover, and what about Priya? Who will care..."
"Just hold on a minute. Listen to me. I've thought a lot about this, and I don't want to come back to work full time, just three days a week, and leaving a few hours early. As for Priya, we'll bring her with us, but hire someone to look after her while we're working."
"Now, just hold on a minute. I'm not so sure about this. I don't want just anyone to be taking care of my daughter."
"Actually, Mami recommended someone to me. She's middle aged, and her youngest child just left home."
"And this person is..."
"The daughter of Mamu and Mami's head gardner. Her name is Mrs. Chatterjee. Mami has known her for years, and speaks very highly of her. We can go meet her this afternoon, and talk things over."
Maan contemplated Geet's words and after a while said, "Just to be clear. I can say no, if I don't like this person? I'm not agreeing, mind you, I'm just considering. I'm still not sure that coming back to the office wouldn't be too tiring for you."
"Maan," Geet laughed, "I appreciate your concern, but frankly, as much as I love taking care of our daughter, staying at home all day without you is pretty boring. Admit it, you feel the same way about going to the office without me. Why else would you call me 10 times a day?"
"I call to check up on Priya, you know that."
"Of course you do." Geet couldn't contain her smile, certain as she was that she would get things her way in the end. At the moment, her husband was looking a little upset, and like he could use some soothing.
Geet moved closer so that her nose was touching Maan's cheek. She alternated between rubbing his cheek with her nose and pressing kisses up and down his jawline. Maan was not ignorant of her intentions, and soon gave in, moving to capture her mouth with his own. Wrapped tightly in each others arms, they kissed hungrily, until a wail heard over the baby monitor caused them to quickly break apart.
Looking at Geet, Maan asked, "Is that a hungry cry?"
"I think it's a 'I'm bored' cry. Why don't you go get Priya and bring her in here, and I'll see about ordering breakfast. I think that since today is a Sunday, all three of us should have breakfast in bed."
****************
So, with very little persuasion necessary, Geet found herself on a Monday morning once again getting ready to go to the office. She chose to wear a beautiful new white salwar, her husband's favorite color, with red trim, her favorite color. Geet was looking forward to not only getting back to work, but to see what Maan thought of her new dresses.
As if she conjured him up just by thinking of him, he appeared next to her. "Wow, I'm lucky, not just as a husband, but as the CEO of Khurana Constructions."
Geet gave him a puzzled look, to which Maan responded by brushing his hand slowly along the side of her hair, before stopping to cup her head next to her ear. "Lucky as CEO because I have the most beautiful partner, whose elegance and simplicity will win over even the most difficult client. Lucky as a husband, because not matter how smitten those clients might be by you, only I have the right to kiss you."
Geet couldn't help but be enchanted by the love and pride she could see in Maan's eyes, as well as the deep desire that simmered only because of her. No matter how much he kissed and caressed her, it never seemed to be enough. Like they had every morning, that morning they had spent a good deal of time kissing and cuddling, yet here she was, waiting once again for the magical touch of her husband.
losing her eyes in anticipation, Geet could feel the warmth of his hand on her face. She breathed in his wonderful sent, feeling it go straight to her head. As she felt Maan pull her closer, her lips parted expectantly, waiting with great anticipation for the pleasant onslaught that was about to happen.

Exclusive interview with laxmi2010, author of FF - Nothing Can Keep Us Apart
Is this the beginning of the end? by -pixie-
Yup.
laxmi - y do i feel that ur FF is slowly coming to an end...... is it ending soon???? nahiiiiiiiiiiiiii i love ur FF by deniac
Thank you for the praise, but yes the story is ending.
will this FF end soon? if it is pl dont end it its really good by Dansindiadans
Yes, it will be over soon. Sorry, I can't continue, as I have two more Maaneet FF that I want to start, and I really can't write three stories at one time. So, this story has to come to an end for me to keep my sanity.
why does it feel, not a good feeling i tell ya, that this ff is ending? by macho_muffin
It feels that way because the story is not being "cancelled" but is coming to it's natural and logical end, just as I evisioned all those months ago when I first started writing.
One thing that I want to make clear to everyone, the next update, or even the next few updates are not the end. I still have some of the best updates left to do, and of course I will be including the Pee Loon and RTM sequences, so you have that to look forward to. When the final updates come along, it will probably feel quite obvious, so as long as it still feels like there is some story left, that is because there is.
