FF-My Second Wife Geet - Thread 1 - Page 5

Hey people, this is the second post since the morning! I am trying my maximum as from the following week; my tuitions start; Mathematics, French and English who knows maybe even Physics! So, even in the weekdays I am not sure of updating! Please forgive me for my mistakes! 😭

Part 1

2 months later

I flinched. The bed cracked. It was morning. I wasn't in a mood of waking up but I reminded myself – duties come first. I opened my first eye, my mind screamed "go to bed Geet, the bed is calling". I ignored my inner voice and opened my second eye. I debated my mind. It was the crack of dawn. I hated to wake up. But I had to! I took my towel and my suit and entered the bathroom. I opened the tab and let the water to cool my head. My brain needed to relax, I knew it. It was two months, two very long months. The cool water drained my body. It was becoming relaxing. I wished I could stay under the shower for hours but I closed the tab and came out after fifteen minutes…

I looked at Riihaa's and my wedding's photograph. I caressed Riihaa's cheek. How Riihaa was happy – how happy I was! How happy we were at that time. Riihaa left me and went away but I reminded myself I wasn't alone! I sighed when I remembered something else – I wasn't alone, Geet was with us. I had married Geet after Riihaa's departure. I didn't marry her according to my own wish; I had a compulsion, a very big compulsion, and a big responsibility, which I couldn't ignore even if I wanted. Even if it was true that I still loved Riihaa today, after 3 years and two months. Riihaa's memories were buried in my heart, her place; nobody could ever take her place. Geet was just a keeper of my house, my grandma and my…No, it wasn't just mine!

I entered the kitchen. Nakul was already awaked. He was preparing coffee for Maan. The aroma of the sweet dishes was so impulsive. I stopped myself from looking at the delicious pudding in the bowl. It was so tempting. Pudding was always my favourite. Nakul had already finished preparing the coffee. I placed it on a tray, with my heart beating fast, I made my way to Maan's bedroom.

I heard a knock at the door. I knew it would be Geet with coffee. How I wish I could avoid her 24/7 but it wasn't possible. I also reminded myself that with or without Geet, it didn't make any difference, Riihaa was always in my heart, and my heart was beating because of her, Geet's presence didn't matter. "Come in" I said.

Geet opened the door and laid my coffee on my bedside table and she glanced at me and turned to leave.

I couldn't help but to glance at Maan. My mind stopped me but I listened to my heart again. I saw him alright, he wasn't broken, he was alright, and then I turned to leave. How could I make this bleeding heart understand – even if I could make my wise mind understand the situation, my heart won't just accept it.

Loneliness, I thought. Loneliness was my hunger, it was my disease, it was my pain, my solitude, my life, and it became my obsession now. I was used to stay alone. I am still alone despite everyone. I lost everyone that I loved. I was that unfortunate. This life had become a burden on me. I wished it was easy to end it – but my heart would never accept it.

How lonely could I be more?

I sighed and helped Nakul to set the table. I heard Maan coming for breakfast. I didn't lift my eyes to check him, I didn't dare to. I heard him sat down.

I continued to set the table while I could feel Maan reading the newspaper. Then my eyes got clued on the chair next to Maan. I heard a little whimper. Maan lifted his eyes. And Maan helped little Akshay to sit down…
