Maan didn't want to take any step or anything that would make her uncomfortable. During the week, they had seen many places, he smiled when he saw a smile on Geet's face as she looked at the snow...he knew that she liked small things that would make her happy..he was happy to share that with her...Geet had loosened around Maan a bit..she was slowly being herself...though the memories about the incident will be there forever but she knew as long as Maan is there she doesn't have to worry about anything...
Today, they were going to go visit Zurich is economic center and is one of the popular places in Switzerland. You can visit the Swiss Alps and also the largest waterfall in Europe. In Zurich you can indulge yourself in skiing, hiking and you can also enjoy the magnificent view of Swiss Alps. He had everything planned, they were going to stay the night in the ski resort and hike...Maan was glad to take this step..
he learned that Geet loves to travel and see new places so within this month he will make sure that they see everything..After Zurich, they are going to go see Geneva is another tourist attraction which houses the Saint Peter's Cathedral. The presence of various museums hints about the rich culture of the place. The lake that is situated in the middle of the city is an added beauty of the place. By visiting the old towns of Geneva you can easily go back to the bygone era. Right now he was in the room packing for their one night trip...Geet stood on the opposite side of the bed handing him clothes for their trip...
This past week she noticed many changes in Maan, for once he was very patience with her and was listening to her every need. She was happy to see him change, this is the person she had always hoped to see herself getting married with now she will finally get what she hoped and dreamed..but still there was still a little fear...she wasn't scared of Maan but she just hoped that he never becomes the shetan again.
As she was passing him the clothes their hands briefly touched...both look at one another not knowing what to do...Maan quickly grabbed her sari that she was handing and placed it in the back ignoring what just happened...he left the room quickly after that unable to control his emotions...Geet sat on the bed looking at her hand...she was missing him but was unable to say it and also because she wanted to see how long this friendship lasts...
"You know I love this view..." Maan looks at Geet as she admires the sun rise above the mountains in Zurich..they had arrived last night but Geet insisted on seeing the sun rise...she loves this kind of things...she looks at him...Maan looks away..."Thank you.." She touches his arm slightly...
"anything for you Geet...whatever makes you happy..."
Geet sighs..."I always fascinated about snow ever since I was little..you know my favorite movie DDLJ" (Maan looks at her confused) "Dilwale Dhulyina Le jayege..with Shahrukh and Kajol?"
Maan: No...never really got the chance to watch movies in my childhood
Geet (looks at him with pain...she knew what he was referring to but decided to ignore it since she didn't want to cause him any pain..) Well in that movie SRK and Kajol go on a Euro trip..there was a dance sequence where they are dancing in snow..I always wanted to know what it is like to feel snow in my hands, to see snow as it falls down from the sky...now i finally got the chance to experience it..."
Maan (picks up snow and holds it in front of her..) "its cold...(he closes his fist with snow inside) and just like sand no matter how hard you try to hold it..eventually it slips out of your hands..it melts away..." (he opens his fist and the snow was gone...both look at each other with pain and sorrow..Geet holds her stomach in pain...Maan comes to her side.."Geet what happened?"
Geet: I don't know...(He picks her up and brings her inside the private cabin that he booked for themselves...Geet smiles)
Maan: I told you that we should'nt do this...you never listen to me...(he lies her down on the bed...he picks up the phone to order themselves some breakfast...Geet gets off the bed to take off her jacket...Maan puts the phone down and stands by her side..) what are you doing? Go lie back down on the bed...we are not going anywhere for today
Geet; Maan am fine..it was normal...
Maan: no its not
Geet; Go read the baby books that you packed the whole suitcase with...You don't listen to me...I told you am fine..its my body nah..so I would know how am feeling
Maan (sighs) okay fine..I just don't want anything happen to you or the baby...
Geet (takes his hand and puts it on her stomach...) see you can feel it right...the baby is fine...(Maan goes down on his knee and puts his head on her stomach..Geet leans back a little against the table to give him more room...he slowly touches her stomach and kisses it..she closes her eyes feeling his touch...he slowly rubs his face on her stomach making her moan a little due to his stubble gently brushing against her stomach...) Can you hear the baby?
She whispers...Maan nodes his head...his other hand goes behind her back to pull her more closer...his hand behind her back move upwards..Geet entangles her fingers in his hair pulling him more closer...he gets up..both look at each other..he leans closer to Geet to kiss her..he holds her chin..
she leans forward and just when they were about to kiss..the phone rings..Maan pulls away from Geet...and looks at her with regret...he goes to the phone...Geet goes to the bathroom to calm her beating heart...
Maan chides himself for getting too close to Geet..he had promised himself and he was about to break it...he sets the table and made sure that his plate was far away from her...Geet came out from the bathroom..both felt awkward and weird...Geet stood there with her head down and playing with her sari pallu...they didn't know what to say..Maan clears his throat..
Maan: woh you can eat on the bed..I will eat here...(she nodes her head...she sits on the bed and watches Maan as he brings the food on the tray for her...) I hope you will like it..if there is any problem let me know...(she nodes her head)
Both again ate in silence..once in a while they would catch each other staring at each other but would quickly look away..both were acting like teenagers in love...
why did they feel so awkward and weird with each other when they are already married?
What is so different this time?
Geet: umm so what are we going to do today?
Maan: uhh I don't know yet...
Geet: can we go skiing?
Maan: no..
Geet: Please why not?
Maan: because its dangerous
Geet: i thought you said that you won't let anything happen to us
Maan (looks at her...) Alright then we will go skiing but under my rules
Geet: okay...
she smiles..Maan looks away and smiles to himself..feeling happy...he had no anger inside him that much anymore..slowly it was being replaced by his memories with Geet..her smiles, her talks..he was happy that she was slowly becoming herself again...Geet looks at Maan with anger...he looks at her confused...they were now fully dressed in skiing outfit..
Maan had agreed to let her ski but she should've known her shetan would find a loop hole...he had arranged for her to go skiing in a kid zone area..everyone one, mostly kids, were looking at them with a smile..she felt so embarrassed..Maan looks at her and smiles...
Maan: Okay Geet are you ready? We are going to go down the hill...you know what do now right?
Geet: I don't want to go skiing here..kids are playing here..its embarrassing
Maan: You said you want to go skiing and I told you I will take you..i fulfilled my promise didn't I?
Geet: yeah but in a kids zone?
Maan: Okay fine then we can go back to the cabin
Geet: no no...okay..fine I guess I will take it
Maan (smiles) Okay good..now we are going to do down the hill
Geet (squints her eyes) where? I don't see any
Maan (points in front of her) right there...see that
Geet: that is a bump...not a hill
Maan: Well its good enough...okay lets go..hold on to me..(Maan was in the front and Geet was behind him..she wasn't really skiing...all she had to do was hold on to Maan while he skied down the hill...at the bottom of the hill...) wasn't that fun?
Geet stomps her foot and walks away in anger while Maan runs behind her)
