aaalllaaa its beautiful.. the way i covered all..now looking fwd how dese birds fall for each other.. keep it up

Maan chuckled a bit seeing her filmy fever. He couldn't help himself from not smiling on her innocence. Dis girl indeed had many colors in her. Everytym he sees different sides of her

"Geet, U dnt have to do anything like dat. Tum waise hi raho jaise tum pehle thi. U dnt have to change urself for anything ok. I dnt want u to lose Ur innocence" He said nd moves inside d washroom before she could say further

Geet just stood dere quietly watching his retreating figure nd den smiled seeing his care nd concern for her. He may not fall in Love wid her ever but for one thing she was sure dat he'll take care of her for d rest of his lyf.

*********************************************************

Though Maan has asked her not to bother for anything but Geet still can't stop herself from not doing anything for him. But she don't know wat should she do for him.

"Inho ne to keh diya dat I dnt have to bother for anything but it's my duty as a wife to take care of his daily needs. Movies me bhi to yahi hota hai. But wat should I do for him. Babaji Pls. aap hi kuch help karo" she said while looking upwards. Suddenly an idea struck in her mind. [he had said dat i dnt have to bother for all dis but its my duty as a wife to take care of his daily needs. dats the way dey show in d movie. But wat should i do for him. Babaji pls help me]

She goes towards Maan's cupboard nd opens it. She started looking through his clothes though not sure hw would Maan react to this act of her. After searching for whole 15 mins. She finally takes out a blue shirt. She dnt knw y but she felt dat dis color will look gud on him. She smiled at d thought nd den takes out his waist coat nd trousers. She searches for d tie dat would compliment wid his suit nd den places it all on d bed nicely. She looked for his wallet; handkerchief nd watch from d drawer nd places it near his clothes.

After placing everything she took a deep breath nd gave a scrutinize gaze to everything making sure dat she haven't forget everything. She had seen her Badi Maa often doing dis for her Bade Papa nd wen she has asked d reason behind dis den her Badi Maa told her dat its d duty of every wife to take care of daily needs of her husband nd moreover like dis Love between the two increases too. Geet sighed at the thought 'Love'. Dis was something dat can never happen between dem nd the irony is dat she knows dis fact before committing for dis marriage but for one thing she'll make sure dat she'll never back out from the duties dat she had to perform as a wife.

She knows dis is not wat she dreamt of but den its not necessary dat Life always gives us wat we dreamt of so its better to accept the events dat happen in ur lyf who knows dat something really good has been stored in it. She smiled slyly at her own thought nd den goes out from d room to giving a last look to his things.

After a while Maan came out from shower nd moves straight away towards his cupboard to take out his clothes wen his gaze fells on bed where his clothes nd other belongings are placed nicely. He frowned nd den realizes who could have done dat. none other den Geet. no matter hw many tymes he tells her for not bothering for such things but wen she is adamants to do something den no one can stop her so its better if he left the thing the way it is.

He looked at the clothes nd smiled seeing her choice of clothes. Its not that he don't wear Blue color but only sometimes but he don't have heart to reject her choice nd try any other shirt. Already a big injustice has been done wid her by binding her in dis Loveless Marriage, according to him. Now least he can do is to let her do those things which can make her happy. He looked at clothes once again nd smiled remembering Sameera. Sameera too use to arrange his clothes like dis only. No wonder Geet is replica of Sameera to an extent yet he can't give her dat place to her which he had for Sameera nd dis fact was making him feel more guilty.

But at the end of the day he can't do anything in front of dere fate. If fate has bind dem together den d same fate will help dem to accept this reality for the lyftym. And as for now all he can do is to try to reduce dis awkwardness between dem. he took a deep breath nd started getting ready for his office.

********************************************************

Here downstairs Geet went straight away to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. She knows dat Maan had asked her from not doing all dis yet she cant stop herself from doing something for him nd his family which is nw hers too. Thinking dis she entered in the kitchen only to be greeted by Nakul who was preparing for everyone's breakfast.

"Good morning Nakul." She greeted him wid a smile on her face nd den takes a utensil nd started pouring water in it

"Wat r u doing Ma'am" Nakul Asked wen he saw Geet boiling water on gas.

Geet: I m making Coffee for him

"Him? For whom?" Nakul asked confused not able to understand which "him" she was referring to

"For him Nakul" Geet tried to make him understand dat she was making coffee for Maan without taking his name but Nakul was not able to understand

"R u making Coffee for Vicky baba?" he asked in order to clear his doubt

"Nw hw do I make him understand" she thought nd den turned to Nakul "Nakul I m making coffee for him" she tried once again to make him understand but Nakul got even more confused nw

"Nakul she's making coffee for Maan" Dadimaa said while entering in kitchen along wid Annie nd Nayantara, wife of Maan's younger brother Dev

"Good Morning Dadimaa" Geet said while touching her feet taking blessings from her.

"Good Morning Beta. God Bless you. U got up so early today?" Dadimaa Asked while patting her head

Geet: Wo I wanted to make breakfast for everyone nd coffee for him

Dadimaa: hhmmm so u r making coffee for Maan. But beta he likes…..

"Black Coffee wid one cube of sugar" Geet intervened in between surprising Savitri Devi

"Arey Waah aap ko to pehle se pata hai Maan ki choice" Savitri Devi said wid a smile [wow dats gud! u already knew Maan's choice]

"Ya obviously Afterall Geet is Ghar me koi nayi thodi na hai dat she have any problem in knowing Maan Veerji's choice. Initially she use to come as Sameera's sister nd now she's here as Maan Veerji's wife in place of Sameera" Nayantara said bitterly before Geet could answer making her teary. [ya obviously afterall Geet is not new to this home dat she have any problem in knowing Maan Veerji's choice. Initially she use to come as Sameera's sister nd now she's here as Maan Veerji's wife in place of Sameera"]

Nayantara always had unknown hatredness towards Geet. She never likes Geet or Sameera's presence in KM. yet she behaved quiet nice wid Sameera as she usually goes to base for her duties nd hardly spends tym wid dem but Geet always use to come at KM even at Sameera's absence nd Nayantara hate d Love Whole Family showers on Geet including her husband Dev. She always envied Geet nd nw wen Geet is here as Badi Bahu of Khurana's den she just cant digest dis fact.

"Nayantara" Savitri Devi said in a stern voice to make her shut her mouth.

"Dnt forget dat Geet is now Badi Bahu of dis house nd u should address her as Bhabhi now nd not as Geet" she said giving Nayantara a piece of mind while Nayantara just fumed in anger nd storms out in anger nd Savitri Devi just sighed at the behaviour of her younger Daughter-in-Law.

"Geet dnt feel bad for NT's words. She just speaks before thinking anything" Savitri Devi said while trying to comfort Geet.

"Its ok Dadimaa I didn't feel bad" Geet replied wid a smile on her face

"You are really nice beta. Acha if you want any help regarding d everyone's choice of breakfast then ask to Nakul. He'll help u." she said wid a smile to which Geet just nodded nd Savitri Devi left leaving Annie nd Geet alone.

Geet started preparing coffee for Maan but her mind just wanders on NT's word nd she felt teary remembering Sameera. It was true dat she was not new to KM yet NT's words hurt her a lot. She doesn't want anyone to feel dat she's here to take Sameera's place because she knows dat she can't. Annie watched d change of expressions on her face nd instantly understands the turmoil goes inside her heart.

"Oho Geet! Tum ab bhi NT Bhabhi ki baat ko leke upset ho. Dadimaa ne kaha na dat she just speaks before thinking. Itna mat socho" Annie said while trying to cheer her up. [oho Geet u r still upset due to NT Bhabhi. Dadimaa had said na dat she just speaks before thinking. dnt think too much]

"No Annie its not like dat. I m not at all upset" Geet said wid a smile trying to hide her tears

"C'mon Geet dnt hide from me atleast. We were gud friends before ur marriage wid Maan Bhai (she paused for a while nd den continued) Geet I knw dat dere's a sudden change in every relationship dat u had wid all of us especially of urs nd Bhai's but just leave everything on tym nd everything will be fine. Trust me. You just be like wat you were before" She said while holding Geet's hand in hers

"OMG Annie since wen u had started talking so mature" Geet asked trying to light up d atmosphere

"Wo Shahrukh ki movie me ye dialogue suna tha. Yaha fit ho raha tha to bol diya" she said nd winked at her nd dey both started laughing. After a while Annie suppressed her laugh nd continued [wo i heard dis dialogue in Shahrukh's movie. it was suiting d situation so i said dat]

"ok jokes apart but make one thing clear in ur mind dat m not going to call u Bhabhi nd all ha becoz u were my friend nd will always be." Annie said while pouting

Geet: Dnt worry u dnt have to call me Bhabhi. I am much more comfortable wid u taking my name.

Annie: Dats gud Acha Geet now u should go nd give bro his coffee first or else he'll get hell angry on poor Nakul.

Geet nodded nd pours d coffee in a mug nd headed towards Maan's room to give him his coffee.

*********************************************************

Wen Geet reached to their room she saw Maan getting ready for office. Though technically it was their first day after marriage nd he was supposed to go wid her to her home for Pagphere nd here he's getting ready for his office but Geet don't want to bother him for anything. She even don't know whether she had any kind of right in dere relationship or not so it's better if she gives him his space nd not interfere in his private lyf. Thinking dis she silently went inside their room nd placed the Coffee mug on d nearby table. Maan had his back towards her nd she thought dat she'll quickly leave after placing the mug but d tinkling sound of her anklets grabbed his attention nd he turned to look at her.

"Wo ur Coffee" Geet said as soon as she saw him turning towards her nd dats wen she realized dat he was wearing the same shirt dat she had selected for him.

She don't know y but she felt an unknown happiness in her heart to see him wearing her choice of shirt. She thought dat may be he'll not like it if she places his clothes nd all but seeing him wearing her choice of clothes cleared all her doubts. She was lost in her thoughts wen she saw the top 3 buttons of his shirt was open revealing a part of his well toned chest. Geet kept looking at his muscular Body for a while. His muscles which were bulging from his Shirt, his well toned V-shaped chest dat was revealing from his shirt, the stubble on his face everything was giving him a macho look. She immediately looked away wen she realized dat she was gaping at him nd dat too in front of him.

Maan was watching the change in her facial expressions from the she entered inside room. She saw her getting startled wen he had turned to look at her nd den dat slight smile on her face wen she saw him wearing her choice of clothes. He was happy to see her smile nd thanked God umpteenth tym for not letting him change his mind nd wearing d shirt she has selected for him atleast like this way she smiled nd least he can do is to give her enough happiness in dis relationship which was in his hands nd den he saw her gaping at him which was not new to him. He knows his effect on Girls but wat he didn't know dat Geet can too get affected by him who had always teased him for his macho look nd den he saw her getting embarrassed nd he understands dat she realized dat she was gaping at him nd not wanting to embarrass her further he decided to break dis silence.

"Wo Actually the button of my Shirt has broken nd I was trying to fix it up" he clarified as if trying to clear y the top 3 buttons of his shirt was open.

"Should I help u?" Geet asked innocently nd Maan just couldn't refused her so he nodded his head in approval.

Geet goes near him nd takes needle nd thread from him nd started to sew his button while trying her best to not to look at his bare chest again. She whacked herself mentally for gaping so openly at him especially den wen she knows dat he might not like it. She shrugged off all her thoughts from her mind nd continued to sew the button. Maan looked at her while she was sewing the button. She was looking so innocent while sewing it. She is performing every duty of her part without expecting anything from him. God knows from where she get dis much understanding. He had never thought wen he met her first that dere will be a tym wen he can see her dis side also which is so mature nd understanding. He had always seen her chirpy nd bubbly side nd nw he wonders wat more he had to see about her.

"U know hw to sew Button?" he asked trying to reduce the awkward silence between dem

"Badi Maa se sikhaya tha. She said dat every girl needs to know dese basic things" [Badi Maa had taught me] Geet replied calmly while sewing the button.

Another round of silence prevailed between dem nd Maan dnt know what should he say further. It was strange initially dey dnt need any reason to initiate the conversation nd nw dey don't know about what dey should converse. While sewing The button NT's words came in Geet's mind nd unknown to herself her eyes started to began teary but she tried her best to hold back her tears which didn't go unnoticed by Maan. He saw trying to hold back her tears but didn't know the reason behind it. He wanted to ask her d reason of her sadness but before he could ask something he saw her leaning towards him nd his words got struck in his throat

Geet had done wid sewing the button nd she leaned down to cut the threat from her teeth. Maan felt her warm breath on his chest nd it took every fiber of his body to gain control on himself. Dere was a sudden urge in him to hold her close in his arms nd keeps her safe from all dose things which brings tears in her eyes. It was weird dat he was feeling something like dis for a girl who was just his deceased wife's sister till yesterday nd now his wife. He don't want to feel all dis for her neither he wanted to give her any false hope but wat should he do feelings dat was all of a sudden aroused in him out of nowhere.

Unknown to the havoc created in Maan's heart nd body Geet cuts away the thread nd keeps the needle nd remaining thread aside nd looked at him only to find him lost somewhere. She thought may be he's remembering Sameera so she decided not to break his chain of thoughts nd turns to leave wen Maan holds her wrist stopping her from leaving. Geet's breath got hitched in her throat wen he stopped her from going. She didn't understand why did he stopped her from going nd before she could understand anything she found him turning her towards him by holding her shoulders.

Geet had her head dipped down in order to hide her tears nd Maan slowly lifted her chin up so that she can meet up his eyes. Maan saw the tears in her eyes which she was trying to hold back nd nw understand clearly dat something is really bothering her.

"Wat happen?" he asked her in a soft voice trying to know the turmoil of her heart

"Nothing the button has been fixed so I m going back" she said in a low voice not wanting him to know wats going in her heart.

"I m not asking about that. I m asking y u are sad? Y dere are tears in ur eyes?" he asked while boaring his eyes into hers

"Nahi aisa kuch bhi nahi hai. I m not at all sad" [no its nothing like dat] She said while putting a fake smile on her face but Maan was just not ready to let it go

"Geet Do you know something? U dnt know how to lie den y are you trying to do that. Nd moreover no matter hw hard u try to say lie but ur eyes says everything dats dere in ur heart nd here dey are speaking more den required" he said while wiping away the tears that has been formed at the corner of her eye. Geet just looked at him in awe thinking hw well he understands her though without any strong feeling between dem yet he understands what's going in her heart.

"Geet, Ghar ki yaad aa rahi hai" [Geet, r u missing ur home?] he asked bringing her back from her reverie

"Nahi…. wo…" she fumbled wid her words nd Maan clearly understands her hesitation. He smiles inwardly seeing her like dat. she never hesitated before saying something nd nw. *sigh*

"Geet I knw d circumstances in which we got married, its not easy for any of us to accept dis change so soon nd especially for u whose dreams were totally different. U must be missing Ur Home nd especially Ur Di (he paused for a while nd den continued) I knw I can't fill dat void in Ur lyf, none of us can nd the relationship we are sharing nw I knw its hard for u to be frank wid me like before. I knw our marriage is a compromise but Geet none of us can't deny dis fact dat we were very much friendly before dis so wid dat relationship u an still tell me anytime anywhere whatever is bothering you. As a friend I'll be always dere for you. I knw from nw on people will see u as taking Sameera's place in our lives nd may be this can hurt you but we both know wats the truth is nd y we are in dis relationship so never pay any attention to any of dem who compare u wid Sameera. You understand wat I m saying" He asked while wiping away d tears dat has been welled up in her eyes nd Geet just nodded innocently.

"So nw dnt cry nd never hide ur turmoil from me. Geet I can't see u in tears ever" he said wid concern surprised from his own choice of words. Yes he cares for her no doubt but he had never expressed it in dis way

"I mean no one in dis house can see u in tears. u are important or everyone so never consider urself Different from any other member of dis house moreover I had promised Sameera dat I'll always take care of you so……" he said while trying to cover up wat he said earlier nd left his sentence midway to make her understand in her own way wat he wants to say.

Geet just keep looking at him wid awe. How easily he had made her feel better. Ya its true dat dere relationship is not like others. Dere Marriage is a compromise but he said dat he'll always be there for her as a friend nd dat was enough for her. she had never expected anything from him for dis marriage yet he's trying his best to keep her happy nd comfortable in their relationship nd dats really a big thing for her.

"I Promise dat I'll never hide my worries from you" Geet said after a long silence wid a smile on her face.

[Aakriti jumping out of nowhere "Oye Wat about Coffee?😲 Haven't it get cold by now🤔 ]

"Good I always want dis smile on ur face. Dis is the least we can do in our relationship right?"

"Right" she said wid a smile nd turned to leave nd Maan also started to get ready. Just den Geet's gaze falls on d table where his coffee was placed nd dats wen she realized dat he didn't had his coffee till nw nd she knows hw much particular he's about everything

"Suniye" she said softly nd Maan just instantly stopped buttoning his shirt listening to her addressing. Its strange dat dis is d third tym from last nite she's addressing him like dat yet he feels something different Everytym. Shrugging off all his thoughts he instantly turned to look at her

"Wo… Aapki Coffee thandi ho gayi hai, main doosri lekar aati hoon" she said understanding his questioning gaze while lifting his coffee mug from the table [Wo.. ur coffee gets cold nw... i'll bring the another one]

[Me thinking "Badi Jaldi yaad aa gaya"]

"No need Geet, I m coming downstairs for breakfast in a while so will have my coffee over dere only, hhmmm" he said while stopping her from going

"But you are always punctual in everything nd because of me ur schedule has been disturbed" she said while feeling guilty

"Geet its not ur fault. Nd if we see den because of me Ur schedule too gets disturbed, I mean u were going downstairs after placing my coffee but u had to stay over here for my button so u see its balanced" he said wid a smile while Geet just looks at him in surprise. As far as she knows him he had never made compromise wid his schedule so was he doing dis because of her. She was about to say something wen she heard Dadimaa calling her from downstairs

"Geet u go nw. I'll join u in the breakfast after a while" he said nd turned to get ready for office while Geet too turned to leave giving a last glance to him.

*************************************************************

At the breakfast table every member of KM including NT too but she had been specially advised by Dadimaa to not to speak anything non sense so she was just sitting over dere wid an annoyed face. Since it was first day of Geet at KM after marriage so she had especially made everyone's fav. Dish for breakfast. Though Dadimaa had stopped her a lot yet she prepared the breakfast wid the help of Annie who tells her about everyone's choice. After a while wen Maan came den everyone had started having Breakfast. Savitri Devi had purposely haven't told anyone that Geet had made the breakfast as she wanted to know everyone's reaction.

Everyone liked the food prepared by her especially Maan who had found different taste in the food today. He don't know y today his Pasta tastes different wen Nakul makes the same thing everyday. Before he could say something Vicky spoke in between.

"Bhai Waah kya breakfast hai aaj. Ek to mere Fav. Kande Pohe nd Uspar se itna tasty. Yaar Nakul aaj to tere haathon ko kiss karne ka mann kar raha hai" Vicky said while relishing the food while everyone laughed at the table nd Maan just shakes his head in disbelief. [Wow! wat a breakfast. first of all it's my fav. Kande Pohe nd on top of dat so tasty. yaar nakul i just want to kiss ur hands today]

"Vicky its good that u like the food but credit goes to someone else nd not Nakul" Dadimaa said while eyeing Geet

"Wat? Ye Nakul ne nahi banaya hai? Dnt tell me Dadimaa ki is Bandariya ne aaj breakfast banaya hai." He said while whacking Annie who was sitting next to him. [Wat nakul had not made dis breakfast? dnt tell me dat dis bandariya had made it]

"Oye Bandar! Behave ur self or else……" she couldn't complete herself as Dadimaa interrupted

"Vicky! Annie stop it you two. Nd Vicky for ur kind information today's Breakfast has been prepared by Geet." Dadimaa said before dey could start their third World War.

Maan almost chocked wid his Pasta wen he heard dat Geet had prepared dis. datsy it tastes different today. But wat he didn't understand dat hw come by now he didn't know that Geet can cook too nd dat too so good. Before he could say something Vicky again spoke in between

"Wat? Geet Bhabhi has prepared all dis. OMG! I did not know dat she can cook so well. Bhabhi where are Ur hands I really want to kiss dem nw" Vicky said while looking at Geet.

Maan who was smiling till nw listening to Geet's praise gives an angry glare to Him nd he just gulped his saliva in fear seeing his deadly glare while NT just shakes her head annoyingly seeing so much drama over simple breakfast. her jealousy for Geet had doubled nw hearing so much appreciation for her

"Oh I m sorry I forgot dat I can't do that nw. but Bro. can do it right. Bro. why don't u kiss Bhabhi's hands. I m sure u too had loved the pasta prepared by her" he said nd Maan choked wid his food while Geet had almost spilled the water dat she was pouring in d glass listening to him.

Dey looked each other's flushed faces not sure hw to react to dis situation. They have to present demselves as a happy couple to rest of the family but dis is something dey can't do nd cherry on top Vicky is continuously pestering dem for dat. No matter its just a simple kiss nd dat too on hands but Maan knows dat Geet won't feel comfortable wid it nor did he. He looked at her nd was thinking of any way to escape wen his cell phone rang nd he sighed in relief nd thanked Adi mentally for his timing. He excused himself nd takes the call nd Geet sighed in relief

It took Maan sometym to finish the call nd wen he came back d kiss slips from Vicky's mind nd dey had dere rest of breakfast peacefully. Maan silently appreciated through his eyes Geet for the breakfast to which she accepted by giving a smile which didn't go unnoticed by Savitri Devi nd she smiled inwardly praying dat soon dey accept each other fully nd without any compromise.

After Breakfast Maan gets up from table nd started heading towards outside. Everyone thought dat he's leaving for office wen he had to take Geet for her Pagphere. Dey wanted to stop him but none had courage to talk to him. Amidst of all dis Geet was sitting relaxed because she knows she don't have right to expect anything like dat from him. Savitri Devi was about to stop him wen he himself stopped in his tracks nd turned to look at dem

"Geet get ready fast. We have to go to your house for Ur Pagphere. I am waiting for u at hall." He said nd headed towards hall leaving everyone behind bewildered nd Geet had almost choked wid her juice.

It took Geet sometym to register wat he had just said. Dis he just asked her to get ready nd he's taking her to her home wen he was supposed to go to office, she thought. Nd as the realization hits her dat he was actually getting ready for taking her to her home automatically a smile adorned on her lips seeing his concern towards her. Once again he had made her believe dat he'll care for her for whole of the lyftym as he promised.
