Part -25/ Last update..

The evening was really beautiful with the blushing sky.. The birds were already settled back in their nest. The nature was all set to rest after a busy rushing day..

Maan came back from work. As usual he went o check on Geet, who was on strict bed rest for the last two months as the doctor said it started showing the signs of dilation already. The twins and the speediness of Geet's activity chained her to bed..

Maan coming near and kissing her forehead : how are you feeling ?

Geet: good.. no change..

Maan smiled and went to change.

They discussed how well things are going on.. Geet felt the missing feeling as she preferred to be onsite with that dream project'

The night was extremely calm and both geet and Maan were sleeping sound' Suddenly Geet's forehead tightened as if she heard a thunder out.. she sat down holding on to her tummy.. Maan felt her moving and he opened his eyes too..

Maan: Geet are you Ok?

Geet: ha But' I thought it is raining outside.

Maan looking outside and saw the window curtains flying high: ha.. I think it is going to .. You sleep, I can close the window.. he went and closed the window and joined her back in bed'

Geet was not getting sleep.. she tried to relax, she tried to feel the baby movement.. she tried to wake them up too.. time was passing by' but no response.. she was feeling nervous..

Geet: maan'

Maan in sleep: um..

Geet: baby is not moving..?

Maan sat quick: what?

Geet: no, actually I was waiting for long, I can't feel any movement..

Maan: they may be sleeping..

Geet: no man, I can feel the difference..

Maan: ok.. then let's go to hospital..

Geet: no let's wait..

Maan: no.. no wait for this.. let's go..

Within seconds they reached the hospital. Doctor placed the monitor and gave a relief smile seeing the heart beats.. The nurse came with some orange juice and Geet gulped it quick.. in five minutes she felt the kicking'

Dr. See, you need some sugar, for them to move around' I am glad you came for the checkup.. But let me check completely before I send you home..

Maan went out..

Few minutes passed by..

Dr: Maan, it is her 38^th week , right.?.

Maan: ha DR.

Dr: actually she is ready.. I don't think we need to wait any more. Her dilation is more than 4 inches now and I think it is better to stay back..

Maan: isn't that little early..?

Dr. no it is ok.. Maan.. the baby is full term.. even if you take her now, you may need to bring her back soon.. so let admit her..

Maan: ok Dr. as you say..

Dr: Geet, if you are not feeling sleepy, you can walk around.. and ha, if you feel pain and unable tolerate let us know.. we can give you medicine. You don't need to suffer the pain..

Geet: ji..

DR went out.. The nurse came and started a IV. Maan sat there near Geet with a tension face..

Geet: everything will be OK..

Maan: I think I suppose to say that to you...'

Geet smiled,..

Geet: let's go for a walk..

Maan: um..

Maan held her hand and they walked almost the whole length of the hallway....' Geet saw the rain outside..

Geet: I am glad we came here early..

Maan: me too..

Time was passing by.. Geet felt very tired.. and got back to bed.. she started getting the pain and she went on the drip ' the medicine showed its effect and she slowly dosed off into her sleep.. maan sat next to her.. morning he made phone calls, few extra ones.. daadi and nakul came with breakfast.. they saw Geet sleeping.. and one nurse came and checked on the status'.

Later Geet wake up from her sleep with increased pain.. Nurse went and called the doctor.. soon she got moved to the labor room'

Maan stood there in tension, daadi touched his shoulder/....' and finally the doctor came out and gave the good news'... Maan sat on the chair thanking the Lord almighty...'

Maan, then with a hope: can I see Geet..

Dr: we will be transferring her soon.. ok..

Maan looked at them thankfully'.

The nurse came out holding the little one bundled up in her arm, in a white satin cloth...' Maan walked near to the nurse, his facial muscles stretched out seeing the tiny one in her hand.. Maan looked at daadi and then slowly cribbed his arms to hold her'. He looked at those sleepy face, the baby just stretched her pink lips to a corner as if it recognized the warmth...'

With his wet eyes , looking at her angel face.. he called ."my mishti..'

"Mishti!! What kind of name is that?"

Daadi's voice, did not alter his attention.. his eyes still on her face'.

With a chilidh voice he said: ha Mishti.. I am papa's mishti'... mishti the angel'.... chuu chuu chu'... heina betiya.. meri nanni si pari'... thu mishti heina' bolo daadi ko mei mishti'... mishti'... he tried to rock the baby in his hand..

Daadi: wow Maan, I am impressed, you know how to handle the baby in your arms ..

Maan again in childish voice: ha, tho.. she knows me'.. and I know her' ...and she is my mishti'

Daadi: Maan, you really gone mad'

But then the nurse came with the second baby', Daadi happily held him in her arms..

Maan came near and looked at his son's face,' and then looking back at mishti's face he said :" look , our DDD is here', did you see him.. ha', DDD....'

Daadi tightening her forehead: DDD? What kind of a name is hat?

Maan in childish voice: nobody knows except his mom' ...she only named her DDD..

Daadi thought for a second.. and remembered Geet's talk..:

Daadi: DD.. dusht danav..

Geet: no Daadi' he is DDD.. double dusht daanav..

Then coming back to present time:.. daadi : but Maan, I thought she called that you..not her baby..

Man: we don't know, it is between him and his mother.. for me, I am ok with any name as long as my Mishti likes her name..

Daadi self talk : I thought the new generation is good with finding names..but this sounds like our generation is much better..

Time passed by'

Geet was coming out from her tiredness.. The nurse rolled her down back to her room.. Maan walked along with them.. and finally she got transferred to the bed.. and the nurse left giving instruction to call them with need..

As they left the room..

Maan sat near her at the bed side and then leaning his upper body near her, he kissed her tired forehead.. as he pressed his lips hard on her forehead two drops of tear drops fell on her skin..

Geet closed her eyes, feeling his love '.and two drops rolled down from her corner too'

Finally he was able to speak out, lowering his gaze to meet hers: you took so long Geet..

Geet trying to bring a smile: really'... you waited that long..

Maan with a forceful smile: not really, but each minute took an hour to pass for me..

Geet smiled again ': where is our babies..

Maan: outside'.. with daadi and all.. the nurse wanted to check on something..so

Geet: do they looks like you?

Maan: ha.. mishti looks like me, but your DDD' ..i think...' looks like me only..

Geet: what?!!

Maan: in short, both looks like me only.. thei handsome papa...

Geet: after all this pain, you are saying this to me.. that both looks like you..

Maan: ha, but I think they both look very cute just like you..

Geet: maan'

Maan chuckled'.

Nurse coming in..: Geet , try to feed the baby now.. ok..

Maan got up from the bed and stood nearby hanging his arms on his sides.

Geet looked at the door with a smile and anticipation to see their faces....

She saw Daadi.. and then slowly the smile disappeared from her lips.. her eyes gone wide, her mouth went dry.. for a second, she thougt she is feeling dizzy...' she held onto maan's arm, which was still touching her head side of bed'.. and unknowingly she squeezed on his hand, making sure she is not seeing things in front of her' and then slowly her eyes went upto meet his..

Maan looking at Geet.. just nodded his head reassuring her the scene is true..

The tears just rolled up in her eyes, and it started making its trail down..

Her mom came near , holding mishti in her arms, looked her daughter's face once and then making Mishti to lay on geet's side, she gave a comforting kiss on her forehead...' and then looked at Gaat's eyes'... time ticked by.. she saw the pain in her mom's eyes, for all that what happened in her eyes, and she easily read the helplessness in those eyes'

Geet: maa.. its not your fault.. its my fate' she was able to say that out..

Her mother controlling all her pain and tears: betiya, maaf karde mujhe' .. bas ek bar..

Geet with broken words: but you never hurt me maa..

Maa: Babaji is there with you all the time.. He only united you with Maan.. sab Esawr ke echa..

Daadi with a smile and wet eyes: chalo Geet beta'... feed the babies now'

Maan went out from the scene, leaving the ladies behind..

Her dad, stood outside with her siblings.. They just came near and hugged him tight from both sides..

Maan smiled hugging them both in his arms..

Then went near the silently crying face, Geet's dad..

Maan: Geet is fine..she is happy to see her mom nearby , especially at this time.. I told you, she will be very happy..but you didn't believe me..

Geet's dad: no maan beta, we were so helpless at that time.. unable to bear the burden of my own child's tragedy we left that place..and was trying hard to find a daily earning , to feed my family'... then you accidently found us in Raj's hotel..

Maan: ha, Babuji', actually we were going to a Temple at that time, it was an offering, to climb those steps to see the face of The Lord and to feed the hungers.. but then on the way back, when we stopped the car for some reason.. Geet got the smell of the samosa from the nearby dhaba.. and she started drooling for it, saying she want it right then, as it remined her off her home too and made me to walk in.. then only I came to know it is run by Raj and his few friends and their plan for chain of dhabas in main cities'., I was knowing him earlier, but then.. that day, I got a chance to show him my wife too, whom he was following for days at the beginning of her college .. then accidently I saw Geet's brother cleaning the table.. I recognized him.. may be Babaji made us to stop there , to show you all to me.. but then I wanted to Give a surprise, so only I kept it as a secret, when she is giving me the most happiest time of my life, I wanted to gift her also something, which is close to her heart'... so only I kept you away from her.. I am sorry..

Geet's dad hugging him : no beta.. we need to ask you for sorry'.... Now because of you I am working at IP in a supervisory post and you made them to feel that I am so close to you.. You brought back my dignity, made me to feel I am also someone special in your life..

And my kids started going back to school.. I am so happy , am so lucky, to get you as our son- in 'law.. Maan just smiled and hugged him back..

Daadi: ye, all come.. Geet can't wait anymore to see you guys..

It was time of happiness in Geet's life'... she was surrounded by her own family.. few hours passed, Geet woke up from her sleep.. she heard the talk from little far away.. she turned her face to check over that side..

She smiled as she saw Maan and her sister exploring the tiny ones in front of them.. fighting for similarity with features...' while her mom and daadi was holding them in their hand and giving replies in a smooth manner to limit the escalation of the fight...'

***********

Days passed'

Geet went near: hello.. what is going on? Are you planning to sit like this whole night..

Maan with a smile: ha Geet. Looks like I need to catch up with lot of stuff.. you go to bed now.. will join you later..

Geet gave a warm kiss on his forehead and went to bed and pulled the quilt over hers..

Time ticked by' Maan stretched his arms out and smiled satisfactorily seeing his work completed'

He went near the cribs and made sure the babies are sleeping safe and comfortable.. and was about to turn the light off'... he heard a knock at the balcony door..

He looked around once and then paused for a second keeping his ears active.. he heard the knock again....'

Man walked near to the balcony and opened it with his suspicious eyes'

He found the place empty and he sharpened his eyes as he looked into the darkness...' he didn't see anybody and was ready to close it back again'... he heard the voice of a girl...

"Maan''."

Again with a surprise he pulled back the sliding door and checked out.. there he saw , at the corner of his patio, a shadow' , moving quickly to more darker area..

Maan tightened his forehead and making a fist to fight back , few lines of suspicion appeared on his corner forehead, he asked : kaun?

And he went more closer..

He saw the black color vevetty long cloth drapped down from the figuer's neck and she had a black pointy hat covering her head....'

Maan again: who are you?

The figure: it doesn't matter, who ever I am? but what matters is, I want you to be my messanger..

Maan: what? Maan Singh Khurana aur messenger..

His eyes cornered back into the bedroom, to make sure his family is safe..

The black figure: ha Mr. Maan Singh Khurana.. you don't have any other option..

Maan: I didn't get you.. let me call the security..

The black figure: no Mr. Khurana.. no one will come.. because it is me who placed everyone in their respective places, without my call no one will come out.

Maan: what do you mean.!!!.

The black figure: I know you are tired and ready to get back into bed.. But before that I want you to do this job for me' saying that the black figure turned to face him.. Maan tried to look at her face.. she is tall, wearing a velvet balck gown.. he could only see her fair neck in that low light shade, he tried to look hard to figure out the face.. he was unable to figure out the face in front of him, he saw her glowed hand extened to give hi an envelope' "take this, and say thank you on my behalf"

Maan: why should I take it from you?

The black figure didn't say anything.. he could now easily see her cornering jaws, with red painted lips'

The black figure: please take it, my time is up.. I need to go..

In a trance he took the envolp from her hand ' suddenly the fugure turned away,facing her abck towards him..

Maan: but who are you..?

The figure: me? I am a shadow'; shadow of Geet..

Maan suddenly jerking back to make sure Geet in bed: what? Who are you?

The figure just turned once and tried to give a smile .. Maan saw that partial stretch of her lips, but then before he could see her clearly, she held one end of that long drape covering her back and then lifted up into the darkness, and then with a swift of move, she flew off from the scene...'

Maan blinked his eyes once, to make sure what he just saw is real'.. and then looked back at the envelope.. yes it is true, she was here, in front of me.. and talked to me.. but now..where is she? Is she a human? Or is she'... he looked at the dark once again'

Maan looked back at the envelope.. slowly he opened it.. and his eyes read through the letters in it....

Dear Maan.. you don't know me, but I was the shadow of Geet' I saw her in pain, which pulled me to write this down.. but it became a part of your journey slowly which I never expected ' so this is for them, who supported me with all that like buttons and precious comments' please convey my sincere heart felt thank you to pyarisaheli, bhakbhartifan, harikashiva25, krishna., kuhu18, kellz, chintushilpa, mansijani21, scarce05, sonalinaik2006, ashvinisharma, tater, libra25, ammu5, gagsy, Krishnaluv94, nilu710, asmi123, nonabebu, Miss-Riz, richiiiii, nilu710, zebronics, hemvb, muskaan..., taanni, MaankiMariam, dreaminvincible, preethia, sai22789, shining_moon, maankigeet4ever, gangesegb, smj1977, sakadafi, nan_10, madhavipatil, aditiwalia56, esha143, dmg_roks_antara, hinalshah, -shabnoor-, iqbals4ever, kamna, komlika, sweetshab, sharmake11, heermeher, rsroopali, ambbiha, shivangi783, jazzerette, wajiha-1, mrk_1, PerfectYaRav, punjabi.princes, Iqbal Neha1, temorocks, swetha10, -afsha-, mchopra, vrsharma, all this 62 readers out there'....please tell them to forgive me if i miss out saying their name here... who waited patiently for me to update this chapter.

Shadow of Geet..

"What are doing there?"

The sound of Geet brought Maan back into reality.. he jerked..

Maan folding the envolope: What Geet?

Geet with enthusisam: Maan, what are you doing out there, at this time? Aren't you tired..

Maan looked back at his hand to show her the envelop, but to his surprise , his hand was empty.. he shook his head and looked around..

Geet coming near: what happened to you?

Maan standing in a normal posture: nothing.. the wind is so cool, its really nice out here..

Geet feeling the cold wind: ha, really, it is nice out..

She went out and stood near the edge of the balcony , hugging to herself..

Maan with a smile came back and slide his arms around her tummy and brought her closer to him.. and then placing a kiss near her neck he said: I love you Geet..

Geet overlapped her arms around Maan's and broght them more closer'and tried to feel his love all over again..

Slowly the darkness gave way to the blushing sky and the chirpy birdies started flying up at the horizon'... Maan and Geet stood there, looking at the horizon, cherishing that moment for ever'...welcoming the happy fresh days in front of them......
