PART 52
53. Dedication
To say that she was nervous was an understatement. No words could explain the dread she was feeling at the prospect of opening her past to Maan. She trusted him more than anyone else in this world and was confident of his love and support. She loved him beyond every breath she took...yet she was assailed by apprehension so great that she was back in disaster mode...
Maan had noticed a change in Geet. Something was bothering her, he could sense it. It was difficult to pin point why he felt so, it was like he was tuned in to her emotions. He saw her eyes on him many a times since the day before, speculative as if she was considering something. When he caught her eyes she would talk something or the other, but he was sure she wanted to talk to him something other than Shona or his work in KC. He decided to let it pass for a day until she was ready to approach him herself, for he knew she wouldn't be able to hold back for long. It just wasn't in her to keep things from him, he thought indulgently. She couldn't usually wait to share with him all that had happened around her, from what she did in the day and developments of Shona which took up most of the topic to the information about his domestic staff and their family, like whose sister was getting married to whom and whose father had fallen from the tree. At times she filled him in on the synopsis of the movies she managed to watch. She even expected him to reciprocate with information about Mrs. A's and Pinky's or Adi's or some other staff's details... how was he to know if Dany, Mrs. A's son had managed to come first in singing competition? The only topic she shied away from going into details over was the counselling sessions with Dr. Parineeta. Thinking about it she seemed to be more pre occupied after the last session with the doctor.
As if his thoughts had urged for the need of action his phone rang. It was Dr. Parineeta.
So his Mishti was apprehensive about talking to him about her past. From the call he deduced that Dr. Parineeta too was concerned because she had advised him to be in control about his reactions. Maan wondered how he could ease her mind without giving away that he knew she was dragging her feet. How could he boost her confidence?
He knew he had to do that soon because she was back to bumping into things, re arranging things and misplacing them. Just today he had found Shona's dress in the drawer holding his socks. The same dress she had spent an hour searching. By the time he was back from office last day she had re-arranged the furniture of not just their bedroom but the drawing room and his home office. She seemed to be working herself to fit to fight off her uneasiness. If he closed his eyes, he could imagine her in the kitchen now, directing the lunch menu, may be holding Shona in her arms if she was awake, and humming along with the FM now and then. He loved to hear her sing ... The lullabies she sang for Shona filled him with serenity. Thinking about her made him realise how much he missed her still in the office, even if it was months since she had stopped working with him in KC.
The need to surprise her with that information was great. ... The need to let her know that he was feeling incomplete without her. He picked up his mobile and placed a couple of calls.
Geet was listening to the FM while she was feeding Shona, who was cranky with sleep. Next to her papa's arms it was music that soothed Shona. She too craved the comfort of those arms around her when she told him about what she had endured. She wanted to do it bravely without breaking down. Hadn't she already had a weeping session over that with Pari? May be she would be able to manage this once without crying. She would do it today for sure, she decided as she did for the past two days. But her distress will make him upset, she didn't want that. She didn't wish to cause him even a moment's discomfort. He would feel her misery as his own...her Maan. She could picture him at his table bend over the laptop or may be terrorising Pinky or Adi...
"Hello... we have another caller on the line Maan . Hello Maan ." the name caught Geet's attention.
"Hello Pavitra."
Geet's hands paused in burping Shona and she turned towards the system. "Maan.." she whispered shocked.
"So Maan which song can I play for you?"
"Pholom ki rang se."
"Oh! That is a beautiful song and a romantic one... ummm... dedicating to someone special?"
"There is this person who used to work with me in my office. Now she is married and has stopped working for me. I find that I miss her desperately and wanted to let her know."
"Oh my God! Maan you are dedicating a romantic song to someone's wife over Fm!" came the scandalised voice of the MJ.
Maan chuckled, "No madam... I am the one who married her. I miss my wife Geet at the office."
Pavitra laughed. "You had me in shock for a bit there Maan . Tell me why this song? It is a rather old."
"This was a favourite of my parents and the lyrics aptly expresses my feelings. "
"Okay Maan I will play your request. But will she be listening?"
"I am sure she will be. She always tunes in to your show. Thank you pavitra."
"Thanks for calling Maan. So Geet here is the song coming out especially to you from your husband Maan. Pholom ki rang se. Geet, yaar I am feeling so jealous..." she sighed.
please play the song to add to the feel of the update

Phoolon Ke Rang Se Dil Ki Kalam Se Tujhko Likhi Roz Paati
kaise Bataaoon Kis Kis Tarah Se Pal Pal Mujhe Tu Sataati
tere Hi Sapne Lekar Ke Soya Teri Hi Yaadon Mein Jaaga
tere Khayaalon Mein Uljha Raha Yoon Jaise Ki Maala Mein Dhaaga
haan Badal Bijli Chandan Pani Jaisa Apna Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Humein Kayi Kayi Baar
haan Itna Madir Itna Madhur Tera Mera Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Hameh Kayi Kayi Baar
sanson Ki Sargam Dhadkan Ki Beena Sapnon Ki Geetanjali Tu
man Ki Gali Mein Mehke Jo Hardum Aisi Juhi Ki Kali Tu
chhota Safar Ho Lamba Safar Ho Sooni Dagar Ho Ya Mela
yaad Tu Aaye Man Ho Jaaye Bheed Ke Beech Akela
haan Badal Bijli Chandan Pani Jaisa Apna Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Humein Kayi Kayi Baar
haan Itna Madir Itna Madhur Tera Mera Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Hameh Kayi Kayi Baar
purab Ho Paschim Uttar Ho Dakshin Tu Har Jagah Muskuraye
jitna Hi Jaoon Main Door Tujhse Utni Hi Tu Paas Aaye
aandhi Ne Roka Pani Ne Toka Duniya Ne Hanskar Pukara
tasveer Teri Lekin Liye Main Kar Aaya Sab Se Kinara
haan Badal Bijli Chandan Pani Jaisa Apna Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Hume Kayi Kayi Baar
haan Itna Madir Itna Madhur Tera Mera Pyar
lena Hoga Janam Hameh Kayi Kayi Baar
kayi Kayi Baar
kayi Kayi Baar
Listening to the song with overflowing eyes, Geet felt her heart soaring. How could a person understand her needs so well? Here she was feeling insecure and even from a distance he managed to comfort her. The song like a gentle caress soothed her and renewed her spirits.
