Chapter 17: Khurana vs. Khurana?
Geet stomped into the outhouse angrily muttering curses at her husband and his so-called friend, Anushka. Her loud entry gained the attention of the duo who was in deep conversation with each other.
"Arre Geet tum aagayi?" Anushka smiled.
"Haan. Kyun BBC news main announce karni hai kya?" Geet huffed to the surprise of Maan and Anushka. They looked at each other confused but shrugged it off before continuing.
"Nahi, nahi Geet. Magar tum itne gusse mein kyun ho?" Maan asked curiously.
"Main gusse hoon, main gusse main hoon?" Geet chanted, her tone getting angrier.
"Okay, relax, tum gusse main nahi ho," he offered trying to alleviate the situation.
"Main gusse main hoon ya na hoon aapko kya?" she spat. "Aapko isse behtar kaam haine, mujhe patane main," she said before she realized what she spilled.
"Kya!" Anushka and Maan exclaimed.
Geet realized her folly and hit her forehead but realized now that the cat was out of the bag she would as well clarify them whom they had challenged against. "Haan, maine sab sun li, your challenge to make me fall for you but let me assure you, you guys have no clue whom you have challenged," she smirked folding her arms on her chest.
"Magar humne ai—" Maan began only to be shushed by Anushka with a stamp on his foot.
"Oh accha, toh good now that you have listened to us, I guess there is no need for us to keep it a secret," Anushka grinned. Maan looked shocked; he looked at Geet and then turned towards Anushka, his eyes wide. What the hell happened? Anushka looked at him, with her hand on his and pulled him closer to whisper, "just play along". He calmed down a bit with her assuring look yet continued to stare at Geet as though she had grown another head. "Toh lagi shart?" she asked smiling mischievously.
"Of course, koi shaq?"
"So the war is on," she winked, extending her hand.
"You bet," Geet scoffed pushing her hand off before stomping away to her room.
Maan saw Geet retreating to her room before turning to Anushka, his face reflecting the turmoil in his mind.
"Isse reverse psychology kehte hain bacchu," Anushka whispered ruffling his hair.
"Sweety, yeh ho kya raha hai?" he asked panic-stricken. "Tum sach much mein meri divorce karvaogi," he said shaking his head.
"You trust me?" she asked calmly.
"Haan, mag—"
"Toh yakeen rakho. Tumhari srimatiji tumhara tarah hai, bilkul tedhi medhi," she joked.
"Dekho mere baare main kuch bhi kaho magar meri Geet ko kuch mat kehna," he warned.
"Oh ho ranjhaji, tand rakhiye," she said rubbing his chest. "Regular falling techniques wouldn't work on her. We need to try something new and uskeliye main hoon na," she said pulling up her imaginary collar.
"Magar meri devima, please don't put my marriage life in danger," he begged folding his hands.
"Nischintay raho beta," she said placing her hand on his head, as though blessing.
***
Geet had decided to take her mind of the events of the day by drowning herself in studying and thus she was successfully able to keep her mind occupied. Later during the evening she was forced to face Maan at dinner. The encounter was unavoidable but she tried to keep her nerves cool without ripping his head off. She maintained silence lest she say things that couldn't be taken back. Daadima chattered away with Geet and Anushka unable to sense the underground tension. Occasionally Maan would glance at her with a nervous smile before looking at Anushka helplessly.
"Toh Maan aap log kahaan jaane ka plan kiye hain?" Daadima asked looking eagerly at the newly married couple.
"Huh?" Maan replied unable to understanding what his Daadima was hinting at.
"Arre potaji, humari bahu rani ko honeymoon pe kahan leke chal rahe ho?" she asked smiling gleefully.
Geet chocked on her food while Maan was also on the verge of spilling the contents of his mouth at Daadima's sudden question.
"Voh nahi jayenge," Anushka declared earning a sigh from Maan and Geet. Now it was the turn of Daadima to choke on her food.
"Kya?" she asked coughing.
"Daadima aap kyun pareshan ho rahe hain," she said calmly and patting Daadima's head, "leejiye paani."
Daadima drank water before looking intently at the bunch, "What's going on?" she asked suspiciously, "phir se jagda kya?"
"Arre aise kuch nahi hai," Maan assured, his tone as sugary as possible and grabbing Geet's hand. "Kyun Geet?" he said smiling sweetly.
"Jjji," she stammered, smiling nervously at Daadima while subtly trying to wiggle free of his hold.
"Toh what's the problem?" Daadima asked.
Maan turned to Anushka for help. "Voh isiliye kyun voh dono mere saath vacation trip par aarahe hain," Anushka intervened.
"Trip?" Daadima asked perplexed
"Haan. Meri saheli ka dost ki behen ka cousin ki shaadi hai and they invited me toh maine socha hum sab jaayein," she offered.
"Accha, kahan hai?"
"Oh it's in a small village in the interiors of Yellavaram, off of East Godavari district," she revealed. Maan was overjoyed at Anushka's plan and smiled inwardly at her quick suggestion. He knew he couldn't take Geet privately on a honeymoon or any kind of trip in order to spend time with her and unless she is forced in a situation like this, there is no way he would be able to prove his love for her. And in the midst of everyone here, he would be subject to suspicion from Daadima. So this was a perfect plan to getaway and spend some lone time with her.
"Sounds good toh aap jaayenge na Geet?" Daadima asked.
Geet couldn't deny right off the bat but her uneasiness was apparent in her expression. "Voh Daadima," she began.
"Yeh kaisa savaal hai? Voh bhi jayengi Daadima," Maan interrupted earning a scorn from her.
"I never said that," she replied immediately.
Maan gestured her to come close with a slight nod. She came forward to hear Maan whisper, "Kyun darr gayi kya? You are scared to spend time with me for you know you would fall for me," he winked, taunting her.
"Darr?" Geet smirked, "no way!"
"Then why are denying?" he asked innocently. She hesitated while he probed, "Nahi rehne do Geet, tum haar maan jao and we wont go."
"Nahi hum jayenge and I shall prove you wrong Mr. Khurana," she said haughtily.
"We'll see about that Mrs. Khurana," he smiled, thanking internally for her assent.
"Hmph!" she snorted turning her head away.
"Toh it's final Daadima we all are traveling tomorrow. Please pack all the necessary things we shall leave tomorrow afternoon after lunch," Anushka announced before excusing herself from the dining table. Daadima next filed out of the dining area leaving Maan and Geet.
Maan didn't let go of his hold on Geet's hand and had gone unnoticed by both. When Geet got up to leave his tight grip forced tugged her, forcing her to fall back on Maan, to the surprise of both. The sudden impact of her fall had them both dumbfounded while Maan instinctively wound his arms around her protectively, encaging her in the process. Geet laid motionless on his broad and well-toned chest, her breathing ragged due to his close proximity. His deep chocolate brown eyes bore into her hazel ones. His hot breath tingled her senses, creating havoc in her brain. A tendril of hair had fallen on her face and stayed there. His finger involuntarily came up to her face to remove the obstruction. Her eyes followed the movement of his hands as he softly grazed his fingers on her cheek causing her to close her eyes. He slowly tucked the hair behind her ear, earning a soft moan from her. Her act was so enticing and her lusciously kissable lips were parted making him go crazy. His thoughts were reeling through his mind while his body was acting on its accord. He slowly bent forward to take her soft petal like lips when his cell phone buzzed to life, bringing them both out of their revere.
Geet jerked her eyes open, her eyes reflecting the guilt of her action. She gave a last look to Maan before rushing out of the dining room. Maan badly wanted to call her but his voice seemed to have died down. He looked away disgusted by his own act of trying to quench his physical desires instead of gaining her trust and love. He banged his hand on the table, frustrated letting his action overtake him. He walked away, heading towards his gym, hoping the workout the anger and frustration inside him.
