Obsession 2,new story link-pg 73 - Page 25

Where are you going geet??? Maan asked in drowsy voice as geet tried to remove his head from her lap. Maan had slept in the same position,hugging geet's waist whole night..

"I an going to check putul ,maan" geet said softly feeling little ticklish as he almost buried his face in her tummy.

"Hmm" he replied as he shifted his head to couch to let her go.After few minutes,he felt something soft touching his chest.He opened his eyes to see his daughter sleeping peacefully on his chest..His arms in their own accord hugged putul more close to him as he kissed her head softly. Geet smiled watching him love putul without any fear or inhibition.She was about to leave when maan caught her hand..

"Will you go to your clinic today???" he asked.

"yes.."She nodded." I have not gone there since three days.."

"Hey..whats this in putul's hair???" he asked suddenly making geet kneel down near the couch in order to examine putul."What's there maan??"Geet asked little panic,caressing putul head. Rather than answering her,maan kissed her cheek softly

"nothing.." he answered with a wink."Take care geet" he said after a while. Not a single day in geet's life had started this beautifully before.

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

She removed the curtain aside and reddish yellow sunlight entered her clinic.She looked outside the window.Last night's rain had washed everything.Moist and chilled air of morning after,caressed her face and she inhaled sharply closing her eyes.Chillness brought by damp air took her mind to the memories of last night.Suddenly everything felt like dream to her but then her gaze fell to the blood stain on her white sleeve.She touched gently the red mark, which evidenced reality of events happened last night.For some reason,she did not bath and change her clothes today,after leaving putul and maan early morning.She had come to her clinic in same clothes.It was her attempt to save most precious moments of her life.

Sudden click kind of sound made her look away from the window.Soon her eyes caught an envelope on the floor near the door.Somebody had slid it inside below the door.She picked the envelope with the words "FOR GEET" written over it. Her urge to open the door and see the person who had slid it inside subdued as her fingers got busy in caressing" her name" written over it.She could recognize his hand writing even with closed eyes.With a wide smile plastered on her face,she opened the envelope to read the paper of piece inside.It was a letter for her from maan..

Geet...

You can't imagine how hard was it for me to write this letter to you,especially when words in my mind seems jumbled and tangled to no limit. Moreover, I am always bad at expressing myself.But still I have to say a lot to you so i opted an easy option i.e. writing to you rather than telling by my own mouth.However i liked more what you chose over "words" last night...

Her cheeks turned crimson remembering the kiss between them last night.She smiled shyly before reading further...

"LOVE",this four lettered word has much importance in every person's life as well as mine..As a son,i have yearned for it.As a husband,i have feared loosing it.As a father,i have suppressed it.But i don't want to associate this emotion with you.,geet!!!It is not because of any "fear" of mine..Its not because loving you would be a betrayal to pari's love.You can't take pari's place in my heart and in the same way Pari too can't take your place in my heart..Its because I am unable to name what i feel for you,geet!!!All i know that its bigger and much deeper than all the "love" that i have experienced through all the relations in my life...

I want to bow down in reverence for you when you make me understand like a mother,,,

I want to hug you when you scold and slap me for my mistakes like a father...

I want to kiss your hands when you feed my daughter so lovingly...

I want to thank god endlessly for every single time when you have given me your shoulder to cry on as a friend...

People who had named every existing feeling and emotion in the world,i wish they would have named what i feel for you.Since the day,you came in to my life,i was surrounded by a strange sense of security.I knew,you would always be there for me inspite of my endless "jerkness" and "meanness"..Even during these three months,especially those three weeks,My heart knew that you were just a call away.You would never leave me and putul despite my endless efforts to make you hate me.I tried alot to find the reason behind this strange "belief" for you in my heart but could not find something strong.May be it was because of admiration that i witnessed in your eyes on our first meeting which got increased with every meeting..

For a moment,she hid her face in the paper to kill the embarrassment his words had caused her..She could not control her blood rushing towards her cheeks reminding her therapy sessions with maan..With a shy smile,she started reading once again..

May be it was because of the fact that you are exactly the girl that i used to imagine as my lifepartner before meeting pari.Yes..i have always imagined a girl like you as my wife.You are strong,matured and sensible.You are a person to rely on and i always wanted a lifepartner whom i can rely on, a person who could cope up with my jerkness,a person with whom i can be weak and vulnerable,a person with whom i can be little bad and selfish ...but then i saw pari and nothing else including my previous imaginations for my wife mattered to me.With pari,i always had to be "strong" internally but "gentle" outside.. But it never bothered me.She had given me love more than enough,however i could not receive it properly.I had found Pari on the verge of loosing her completely.She was about to marry someone else.Whenever she loved me,fear of loosing her always made me reciprocate her more and more,rather than receiving her love peacefully.But with you I can enjoy being on receiving end.You have never cared about my reciprocation.How can you love me so selflessly geet????I don't know whether i deserve your love or not??

Sometimes i wonder,what good i have done to receive this kind of love,that too,two times in my life...I need you geet..not only for putul but me too...

so,will you marry me..because i ______you...and i will _______you till my last breath...If your answer is yes,then open the door. Me and putul are waiting for you at the door...

A tear drop from her eye traveled down to the paper to smudge the ink.It got accompanied by many others till she made her way towards the door.Immediately she opened it,just to see two faces which had become her life now. Putul threw her arms towards her and she wrapped the little kid in her embrace before kissing her face intensely.However her sudden affection irritated the little kid,causing her to wriggle in her lap. Geet immediately let her down from the lap as putul took her little steps towards the small aquarium in the clinic.Childhood is the best time of life,when everything around seems novel and wonderful.When putul got busy watching golden fishes in the aquarium,geet looked at the man who was witnessing her motherly affections,standing silently on the doorstep.His hands moved forward to wipe the tears on her face..

"you have become cry baby since last night.."he said wiping the tears.Next moment,she threw her arms around his waist for an another intense hug at the doorsteps with in last 24 hours.His one hand got snacked around her shoulders and other hand was caressing her head gently.She sobbed in his embrace for a long time...

"Thank god..you did not kiss me this time.."he said making her pull out from the hug.She scowled..

"Don't give me that look.you chewed my lower lip last night.."he said making a baby face..

"No..i did not..i kissed you so softly..let me check..."she replied tracing her fingers on his lower lip with worry.Her action made him laugh and pull her cheeks.."you are so cute sometimes..i was kidding..."

She made an irritated face and gave a slight slap on his shoulder..."I don't know..why pari made me meet you..."

"So you can be mother of our daughter..."There was no "kidding" in his eyes when he said those words.They were filled with intense emotions..

"I love you,maan..'She said putting her head just above his heart,listening to his heartbeats..

"geet...umm..mm'" his fumbling made her look in his eyes.There was struggle to find the words in reciprocation of her.."I love you.."

She cupped his face.."and i know...you dash me..."saying this she kissed his cheek..This time,it was him who pulled her towards himself and initiated the assault on her lips to which she reciprocated with equal favor..It was a kiss who spoke of his need to have her in his life..It was a kiss who told her how much she mean to him...It was a kiss showing his effort to name the feeling he has for her..It was kiss who promised her that he would never leave her...They kissed till geet felt a tug near her leg. Putul was pulling her salwar. Geet looked at her little daughter and smiled still in the embrace of maan...

"Mummaa,,dadda..kichi..kichi.."Putul said in her childish language,clapping her hands with excitement,,,

Maan picked his little angel in his arms and kissed her cheek.."yes kichi kichi,,daddy was giving kichi to your mumma..."he said while putting his another arm around geet. His life and family had got complete today...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤️❤️❤️
