18.Reassured

Daadi thought Geet was looking tired even though it was weekend. She had dark circles under her eyes, which clearly indicated that she was not sleeping well. Geet preferred to keep to her room, too. Daadi felt Geet must be missing her mother and felt sorry for her. There was no way she could give her mother back, so Daadi decided on the best option, to mother Geet by herself.

When Daadi entered Geet's room she was standing by the window, with a forlorn expression, an opened oil bottle forgotten in her hand. Daadi was sure this was something that her mother must have done for her.

"Geet.." Daadi called. Geet turned wiping the tears with a sudden movement.

"Haan Daadi, did you need me for something? I was just about to take a bath."

"I just wanted to spend some time with you. Aren't you going to apply that oil?"

"I just hate doing it...but it is something ma insisted on. Every weekend she used to..." Geet left the sentence incomplete and took a shuddering breath. She didn't understand why she was feeling so weepy about everything these days...she thought she had learned to accept her life without her mother, but since the scan she was missing her mother a lot too.

"Come, sit down then, I will do it for you. I used to do this for Annie...but now, she is all grown up and doesn't like thel malish like you. Now-a-days I rarely get a chance to pamper my children."

Geet was surprised but obeyed Daadi. Running her hands thru' Geet's hair, Daadi spoke after a few minutes.

"Geet beta, I know you must be missing your mother, but I had thought you were slowly accepting the truth and beginning to adjust to the loss. I thought you were starting to feel comfortable with us. Did I think wrong?"

Geet shook her head in reply. "So what is worrying you, now? Don't tell me you are just tired, because I know it's more than that. Are you still thinking about what happened the other night at the party? It was a horrible experience beta, but you have to let it go. Geet you are not sleeping well, you don't eat properly. All this is not good for your unborn child, beta."

Geet's and breath caught in a sob and Daadi put her hand on Geet's cheek to turn her face to look at her. Tears were overflowing, making Daadi alarmed, "What is it Geet? Tell me ...unless I know what is wrong, how can I help you?"

"I don't want to give away my child!" Geet said

"What!" Daadi exclaimed, moving a bit away to look at her properly.

"Geet started to sob in earnest now, her hands covering her face. She knew she had no right to ask for this, by signing the contract she had given up any claim on this child, she was supposed to be just a vessel, an incubator! Her words were, in a sense, breaking the promise she made and she should be ashamed about it. But shame didn't matter, nothing mattered any more...nothing could stand in the way she loved this baby. Daadi may think her as a cheat, who went back on her words but...

Daadi looked at the girl in front of her, her shoulders shaking with the intensity of her sobs. Her own heart went out to her. She could understand what Geet was going thru' after all she too was a mother. The concept of loving someone who didn't even exist must have felt odd to Geet, when she signed that contract. At that time her priority was her mother, who was there before her, someone she could see right in front of her, someone who was fighting for her life. But the bargain hadn't paid off. Neither did her mother survive nor the parents who were to adopt her baby. Now, with the scan the baby was no longer a concept, but a reality, a miniature person who thrived inside her body. How could a mother give up her child? And how could she, knowing the intensity of this purest of love, the love a mother had for her child, even think about doing something so mean!

Daadi laid a hand on Geet's head, which made Geet lift her tear ravages face to look at her. Geet's eyes, with dark circles shadowing them, looked enormous in her face. They pleaded for understanding and forgiveness.

"I know Daadi, I'm going back o my word ... but I never knew...I didn't know it is possible to love someone so deeply...the thought of being parted from this baby tears me apart...I don't want to exist without him! Please don't ask me to give up my child...don't take him away from me!"

Her own cheeks wet from the pain she witnessed, Daadi made Geet sit on the bed with her. Wiping her cheeks, she asked Geet, "Who told you anything about giving up your child, Geet? Did Maan say anything like that?" Geet shook her head, a tinge of hope making her still. Daadi tilted Geet's face up to look into her eyes as she continued, "Then, why are you upset about it? Do you think that we are so callous that we will take a baby away from his mother?"

"No Daadi...you have all been so kind to me," she said between shudders. "naintara told me that I could be with them until I wanted to...that though Naintara would be this baby's mother, she would like me to be stay with them to take care of the baby." She bent her head, biting her lips as if indecisive about what she was about to say next. Then she closed her eyes and continued, "Maan sir said that this baby will grow up as his daughter. I am really happy that he loves this baby as his own, but when he marries Sameera what if they don't want me to be look after him? I know they will adopt this child and I am happy that this child will have both parents...its just that... I don't want any claims to this child Daadi, trust me, I just want to be with him, not as his mother, but as his nanny!"

Daadi took Geet's hands, which were twisting the end of her kurti, in her hands and said with a determination, "I promise you beta, nobody will take your baby away from you. I am thankful that you were willing to help Dev and Naintara. I cant thank you enough for the gift you are sharing with us. We will never force you to stay away from your child, NEVER. Do you believe me?"

Geet nodded her head. Tears of gratitude now filling her eyes which made Daadi say, "No enough of that weeping. I don't want my great grandson to be a crybaby and I think this one is a boy. You think so too, don't you Geet?"

Geet nodded her head with a smile. "That is two against one" Daadi claimed. Geet hugged Daadi in relief and said, "Thank you Daadi!"

"You should have come to me earlier, in stead of making yourself so upset. Promise me that in future, you will tell me about anything that causes you worry."

"I promise Daadi. " Geet said.

"Daadi looked at her contemplatively as she asked, "How do you know about Sameera and Maan?"

"Rosi di told me. They are so prefect together." Then paused before asking, "When are they getting married Daadi? Rosi di said it would be very soon'"

"Nothing is decided yet. Maan thinks he is not ready to settle down...he says he needs more time to decide. May be he is not sure he has found his life partner in Sameera!" Daadi sighed then said with a renewed spirit. "Come on, have your bath fast and get ready. We are going out."

"Where Daadi?"

"For shopping. I think we need to get you some new clothes. The old ones wont fit you for long..."

"But Daadi.."

"No don't argue with me. It's decided. We girls are going shopping, with this tiny Mr. Khurana!" Daadi said, with an attitude to suit her grandson, laying a gentle hand on Geet's stomach,

After the shopping, Daadi decided Geet needed to be energized with a light snack. They went into the open caf at the mall, when Daadi met one of her friends. Geet moved forward to sit by table, needing to rest her legs. She saw a couple at the far end of the caf, almost secluded by the plant's placed in the corner. The wife was showing off her purchases to her husband, talking animatedly all the while. She shook the jumkas she brought in front of her ears, a enquiring smile in her face. Her husband approved it...while they were talking, he pulled her closer and whispered something in her ears, making her blush and hit him playfully. He grabbed her hair from the side of her face and pulled her closer to kiss her. Geet saw the way the wife giving herself in happily and pulled her eyes away. This was something she could never have. She thought with a sigh, not knowing that her face held a forlorn expression as she had looked at the couple. The man walking towards her had seen her pre occupation and stopped in his track to see what held her attention. Finding her looking away, he moved to stand by her table. She looked up and saw the handsome guy looking at her. As recognition and a tentative smile tilted the corners of her lips, he said with a jaunty smile, "Hello Geet! I think you look sad and need a dose of Vitamin ME!"
