Hi Friends,

Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

VERY IMPORTANT: Please add ritzypm as buddy to gets PMs for this FF

Chapter 11

Maan, Geet and Vicky walked outside along with Mohinder, Rano and Rahul as driver started to load her luggage. Suddenly Rahul commented – "Are yeh tu apni painting kyon le ja rahi hai. Kahan rakhegi"

[Why are you taking this painting of yours? Where will you keep it]

Geet sighed – "It's "Hope". I want to take it."

Rano understood her hidden words – "Leja ne de na use. It's her favorite"

[Let her take it. It 's her favorite]

Mohinder was not that sure. He looked at Maan – "Lekin Ranoji, itni badi painting hai….aur phir wahan kahan rakhegi. Geet beta, I will send it to your gallery if you want and you can keep it there"

[But Ranoji, it is a big painting…and where will she keep it there? Geet beta, I will send it to your gallery if you want and you can keep it there]

Geet looked down – "I will keep it in garage…it won't trouble anyone there"

Maan was pained at how low confidence she had on him. It was even more acute realizing the sacrifices a woman has to make at time of marriage. She has to change everything to adjust to her in-laws.

Mohinder was going to say something when Maan intervened – "Rehne dijiye Papaji. I will take care. Waise bhi iska itna man hai toh aap mana mat kijiye."

[Let it be Papaji. I will take care. Moreover, you don't say no when she wants it so much.]

Geet looked at him and thanked him with her eyes. She gave a smile to him and Maan just nodded his head in acknowledgement

Mohinder nodded as Maan helped the driver to secure the painting on the roof of the car due to it's size. Maan sat in front with the driver while Geet sat in the back seat with Vicky.

Maan expected her to be all emotional after the little scene with mummyji and then outside. But he was again proved wrong and was in complete awe of the woman sitting in the backseat. He saw her giggling face thru the rear view mirror.

Geet was talking with Vicky, catching up on everything she missed in one day.

Vicky was recounting her school day to her and Geet's comments were just making him laugh. Maan smiled at their bonding. "Itni jaldi kitne ache dost ban gaye hain dono. Vicky is so shy but he has become real close to Geet."

His chain of thoughts was broken when he heard Vicky complaining "Teacher has told me to right it 25 times so that I will remember. I so hate it"

Before Maan could ask him what is that he was facing problem with Geet responded – "Arre you leave all this writing witing….aise ratne se thodai kuch yaad hota hai. You leave it to me. For now, I will tell you a story."

Vicky's eyes twinkled at the name of story and Geet started – "Once upon a time there was a king. His name was Richard and he ruled kingdom of York. He went to battle with another king

……..

and so without finding the facts he gave up the battle."

She lovingly ruffled her hair. "Did you like it"

Though Maan did not like that she took his attention away from his study problem, he smiled as he heard Vicky say "Oh it was wonderful Tayiji."

Maan st – "I will have to ask Vicky later what is troubling him at school"

"Hmmm…so now tell me the summary"

"Summary?"

"Yes….Summary is that Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain…can you now tell me what is the summary"

"Yes, Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain"

"True, now write it down."

Vicky was confused but took pen from Geet's hand along with tissue paper and wrote it down. Maan also looked at her curiously.

Geet smiled. Now see – "Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet"….so next time you forget order of the colors of rainbow just remember the summary and you can get it correct "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain"

Vicky's eyes widened in amazement and he clapped his hands together - "This is wonderful Tayiji, now I will never get it wrong"

Geet just smiled and patted his head.

Maan realized and was impressed that she solved Vicky's problem through the story.

They reached home just then and Vicky excitedly ran inside to tell his mom that he finally knew colors of the rainbow.

Maan - "That was very good"

Geet just smiled – "Maheshji, please meri painting aap garage mein ek kone mein rakh dijiye"

[Maheshji, please keep my painting in a corner of the garage]

Saying this she also walked inside. She stopped seeing Maan still near the car – "aap nahi aa rahe. "

[You are not coming?]

Maan – "Mujhe kuch calls karne hain..tum chalo"

[I have to make some calls…you carry on]

Geet just nodded her head and walked inside.

Maan entered after completing his calls.

Daadima – "Aa gaye Maan….aap bhi bahut thake hue lag rahe hain. Humne Geet ko bhi kamre mein bhej diya hai kyonki kal subah subah kuch rasmein karni hain. Vicky bhi so gaya hai. Ab aap bhi jaake aaram kijiye"

[Come Maan…You are also looking very tired. I have sent Geet also to the room because there are some ceremonies to be done tomorrow morning. Vicky has also slept. You also go now and take rest.]

Maan verified from Daadima that everyone had dinner and finally retired to his room after dropping Daadima to her room.

Maan entered the bedroom and noticed that Geet had already changed and was sleeping in the bed. He inwardly thanked her. It was already awkward and difficult to answer her questions with his guilt laden soul but he was forced. He was never a good actor and lying was never his forte. But he was in no mood to go through that conversation now. He was relieved that he can do that tomorrow when probably both were in a more relaxing and calm environment.

He quietly removed his night clothes and changed. He stood at the bathroom door contemplating his next step. But then he sighed and opened the study door. He walked inside lying on the bed. He closed his eyes and then turned to slip out Poonam's photo from beneath the mattress.

He just looked at the picture talking to her softly – "Main kya karoon Poonam. I never wanted to hurt anyone. In the end, jiska dar tha wahi hua…kaise ho gaye yeh mujhse. Maine kaise socha ki mein tumhin chod kea age badh jaoonga. Na ab aage ja sakta hoon aur na hi Geet ka saath de sakta hoon. Use is tarah akele dekh kar dar bhi lagta hai aur guilt bhi feel hota hai. Apne hise ka dard kyon maine us ke naam likh diya. Tum batao Poonam…mein kya karoon…mein kya karoon"

[What should I do Poonam. I never wanted to hurt anyone. In the end, what I feared only happened….how did this I do this? How could I think that I will forget you and move on. Now, neither can I move forward nor can I get into relationship with Geet. I get scared when I look her in this condition and guilty too. Why did I write my share of pain in her name? You tell me Poonam…what should I do?]

…..

Geet opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling as the she heard the bathroom door clicking. She knew she has to be strong and build this relationship with love, care and concern but with lot of patience and no expectations.

She knew they needed to talk. But he had asked for time and pressurizing him was the last thing she was going to do. Talks will have to wait for another day. Today, she just wanted to be back in his life.

She closed her eyes again when she heard the door opening. She waited with abated breath and raised heartbeat. She felt his hesitation…his contemplation. A lone tear slipped her eyes when she heard the study door closed. She hurriedly wiped the tear away.

"No Geet…you can't be weak. This journey has just started. This is just a beginning."

She somehow consoled her heart. She took the extra pillow and hugged it tight curling her knees inwards.

Precap – Being part of family

Awesome update

nice waiting for them to talk ...
