Innocent Love-Maaneet Link Thread 2 Page 142 - Page 16

While on other hand, Geet was coming down with dream in her eyes. The thought that she would be Maan's now was enough for her to be excited. Maan, whose mere look stirred her whole self, she would be living with him.

The marriage rituals were done. Maan just doing the duty and Geet feeling ticklish and shivering with every ritual- Vermala, Sindoor Daan, Maan putting Mangalsutra on her.

But at the time of Bidai, Like all girl a different kind of fear gathered Geet. She will leave her family for always and go to different world. She got emotional and everyone was crying bidding bye to their Ladli.

In the car Geet was seated beside Maan. Maan just looking outside the window, lost in thought of what will he answer Sameera and trying to believe that he was really married to Geet.

At KM Geet was welcomed by Aarti and she entered the house by putting her leg on the Kalash with rice.

Then after small rituals and blessing, they were asked to play games. The plate filled with milk water and ring inside it.

"What is all this' I am not going to do this. Shadi ker bas bohut ho gaya, now don't expect more than this from me." He said in low voice to his mother but Dadima heard.

"Maan you have agreed to marry and there is a girl with expectation from this relation' Shadi kee hain aur saari rasme to nibhani hogee" said Dadima.

He half heartedly sat down and just dipped his hand in milk water not putting any effort to play while Geet excitedly started searching for the ring. Her hand touched his hand, current passed thru her. She blushed and looked at him, he who was continuously looking at his childish wife who was so excited to play games like this. He gave questioning look to her with frown, smiling she dipped her head down and nodded for nothing.

But then Geet found the ring and then

"I won' I won" she claimed loudly, excited. Everyone congratulated her and Geet felt so proud that she won. Maan was like' OMG. This was completely not like him. He was just worried thinking what was his life going to be.

Then Maan was asked to take Geet to their room in his arms' hearing this, Geet felt ticklish inside just like a new bride of her age would be in anticipation of how it will feel but while she was lost in her own world of happiness'

"No way I am going to do all this drama' enough of all this. If I am asked to do anything more, I will leave tomorrow itself."

No one said anything. After all he really had done much on their request. Married a girl of their choice within one week. But young and dreamful heart of Geet felt little hurt at his direct refusal.

"Haar gaye na isliye chirchire ho gaye shayad'" all that her innocent mind could conclude.

At night , all the ladies settled Geet in the middle of wonderfully decorated huge elegant bed. It was Maan's room in Khurana mansion which was only used once or twice in year in his vacation.

Maan comes to his room after an hour. He saw Geet sitting on bed with veil on her face. Geets heart started beating fast, smiled crept on her face but fear of what will happen made her lips and hands shake too.

Maan looked at his young bride seated, rubbing her hands together.

"You must be tiered, go to sleep" he said while moving towards the closet to get his night dress.

"Aaj hamaree'. suhag raat hai" she said slowly, thinking if she should say or not. But he heard it.

"I know, but you are tired and I am tired too" he took his dress and went to washroom.

When he came out she said loud "Kanjoos" "What?? " "K-a-n-j-oos" She said in low voice this time.

He turned towards her in attitude "Excuse me?? "

"Aur nahi to kya' all my friends got gift from their husbands on their first night" Smile automatically formed on Maan's face with her sudden talk but immediately he came back to his own self.

"You will get your gift tomorrow"

"but rajji told me, pehle ghunghat uthate hai, phir muhdhikhai'. I want it like that' nahi to rehne do aap" she twsted her lips inside her veil.

Maan stood there for a while, was he really talking to his wife or a child whom you cannot deny.

Soon Geet felt some weight on her bed and when she raised her head up she saw he was sitting infront of her. Smile automatically crept on her lips and all her boldness was gone and her heart again started beating fast.

He came nearer and started lifting her veil' Geet's lips started shaking badly. He lifted her veil and first time saw her so closely and got lost in the deep sea of beauty and innocence.

But his trance was soon broken by Geet bringing her both palm in front of his eyes. He immediately coughed, looked to other side and straightened.

"Gift kal mil jayega tumhe.. abb so jao.." "Nahi woo nahi" she signaled her hand from her eyes

"Dhoondho" Maan was confused "What?? Yeh khali haath me kya dhoondhu"

"hehe hehe" she giggled "Do you were glasses at night"

"GEET!! " he shouted, nobody talks to him this way. He is so respected person and here this girl has guts to say this.

What!!! Before coming to the room today he was all confused what he will talk to his new bride who is so kiddish and here he has already started shouting at her'. no no, she made him shout at her.

Geet gets little scare with high voice. Nobody has shouted at her till now. She makes cute angry face and looks down and slowly murmers "Kharoos" but Maan's ear hears it.

"GEET!! "he shouts again

She doesn't say anything but just after a while "dhudhoo na.. try to find your name in my mehndi' I bet you can't find it"

"What?? " he thinks " is the gaming session still going on" he was about to get up saying

"You won.. happy. I can't find"

"Dhundhiye na M-A-A-N" Hearing this Maan was like "Great'"

What went into him that he said "Aarre wah'tumne to mujhe mere naam ke spelling bhi bata di "

Geet felt bad, after he said her to go to sleep she had tried to create conversation between them in her own way. She wanted to spend some time with him on their first night but not knowing how to clearly voice it was trying it other ways. She loved him and had lots of expectation from their life together.

She became sad took pillow in her hand and wrapped it to her chest.

Maan melted with this sad look of hers, he felt he was a bit more rude. He came and sat beside her and took both her hands in his and open it wide to look into them. But angry Geet took her hand back but soon what came into her mind that she again opened her hand in front of him.

He held her hand and started looking into it just to make her happy but Geet was all lost in his touch and him. Smile formed again on her face.

But soon after that Maan realized what the hell was he doing here'. He immediately left her hand

"I loose' you win" and he was about to get up when she held his wrist. He turned and looked at her surprised and gave a strong look. She immediately left his hand, hesitated an looked down gulping her saliva getting scared from his look.

"Aapko aapka naam deekhana tha"

"Ohh no!!!! " he shied in frustration, but wanting to end it all he said "hmm'"

She showed him four corners of her palm, each side having one letter from his name.

Next to be continued.
