Sleeping beauty Part 4
"Geet...i was sure about my feelings.I knew that i love you.But i hid my feelings as i am a married man".
Maan opened up.
Geet was happy about Maan's confession that he was in love with her.But he was restricted from loving her.What a fate?
"Who is your wife Maan?"
"She is not with me now".
"Means?"
Maan kept silent.
"She is no more?"
"She is alive.She left me and our baby".
Geet felt sad for Maan and his baby.
"My 2 years old son Krish is under my grand mother's care".
Geet was relieved.Maan has no wife.His cruel wife has left him.Then why should she worry?
"Maan..i can be Krish's mother".
Maan was surprised.
"Geet...are you sure?Don't take a sudden decision.It has after effects".
"I don't care.What ever the after effect is..it will be for good.Becoming mother to an innocent baby is a great thing".
"But Geet.."
She keeps her finger on his lips.
"Don't say anything Maan.I know that i can't live without you.I can go to any extent for you.Your baby is my child.Our love made me Krish's mother".
Maan smiled.
It started raining.
They looked at rain drops.
"Maan..you promised me that you will dance with me in the rain.Now since the confusions are over you can dance with me.Right?"
He smiled at her.
They danced in the rain singing
'Tip-tip barsaa paani - 2
paani ne aag lagaayi
aag lagi dil mein to dil ko teri yaad aayi
teri yaad aayi to jal uthaa mera bheega badan
ab tum hi batao sajan main kya karu
naam tera mere labon pe aayaa tha - 2
ho maine bahaane se tumhe bulaaya tha
jhoom kar aa gayaa saavan main kya karu
tip-tip barsaa paani paani ne aag lagaayi
aag lagi dil mein to dil ko teri yaad aayi
teri yaad aayi to jal uthaa mera bheega badan
ab tum hi batao sajan main kya karu...{Mohra}.
They were hot and sizzling in the rain.Geet's wet saree made her more sensuous.
Maan took Geet to his house.His grand mother comes with Krish.
Geet was happy to see them.
"Dadima..this is Geet".
Dadima looked at her with a smile.Geet touched her feet.Dadima blessed her.
Geet took Krish from her and pampered him.Nobody would feel that Krish is not Geet's baby.She was really a mother to him.
"I'm happy that finally Maan has found his true love.He found a mother for Krish".
Geet smiled.
After some time Geet left.
Dadima asked Maan,"Maan!You did'nt tell anything to Geet.Right?"
"No dadima.I did'nt tell anything to Geet.I did not tell her why i made her my girl friend".
"Does she have any doubt?"
Dadima is tense.
"No dadimaa.Geet is an innocent sleeping beauty who does'nt know anything.She is in deep sleep".
"So you did'nt tell her anything about Krish's real mother?"
"No dadima.I did not tell her anything about Krish's mother.I lied to her that my wife was cruel enough to leave me and my baby.Poor Geet believed everything.She pities me.I'm trying to forget my past.I'm trying to forget my wedding..my married life...and how my wife left me.I want to start a new life".
"You will have a happy married life with Geet.Every time God can't snatch your wife from you.You deserve to have a wife like Geet.You deserve a happy life with her".
She consoled him.
He tried to smile.
