PART 72
Meera was about to tell maan about the happenings of that horrible day but was stopped in mid by hearing the whimpering sound of geet. They immediately got alert hearing her crying again that too after taking the injection.
But was shocked with the sight they saw when they entered the room. Their geet laid in her bed sobbing even in sleep and moving her hands on the other side of bed at which maan sleep. He immediately understood she was finding him even in deep sleep and was crying with the fear of losing him.
He immediately slide by her side taking her in his embrace and kissing her forehead assuring her of his presence. She immediately stopped crying and went back into her deep slumber. Maan kept patting her forehead and caressing her hairs trying to sooth her. His eye were fixed on her face which once used to glow in his love and now was all pale and yellow and had tear trails all over.
Meera was the silent spectator of this serene love of theirs. She was first shocked to see the injection not affecting her but was more shocked when she realized that even geet's unconscious mind was alert about maan. And the way maan calmed her down by soothing her rendered her speechless. She just wished geet's coming life is just full of their love and no pain and it made her realize that may be if geet tells maan about her past would make her fight with it.
She left from their leaving them alone in their own world. Maan all the while laid beside her caressing her while his mind revolved around the words meera spoke just few minutes back. Now he was sure that there is something real harsh about her past and his blood boiled thinking she endured so much in her childhood while he was enjoying his time all that while.
He vowed to know about her past soon and he would stand by her however harsh it may be and would support her till his last breath.
After few hours geet moved in her sleep and he knew she was about to wake up. It was past midnight and everyone had went to sleep after the tiring day they had. She slowly opened her eyes and immediately turned in maan's direction. She saw him looking at her face lovingly.
She gave him a little smile and hugged him tightly hiding herself in his embrace. He immediately took her in his arms. They were silent for a while just feeling each other's warmth. After a while geet spoke, am sorry maan. Maan immediately parted her a little looking deeply in her eyes. She lowered her eyes, not able to face him. Maan lifted her chin making her look at him in his eyes.
Geet again tried to turn away but he didn't let her. Meri jaan ko mujhse sorry kehne ki kya jarurat, he said huskily. She felt more guilty hearing him. Tears clouded her eyes again. Wo maan I should not have hided you about my health problems, she said slowly.
Maan just hugged her tightly not saying anything. His silence answered her question. She knew he is angry about the fact and does not want to talk about the topic. She didn't said anything again not wanting to hurt him further.
After a second of silence he said, geet it's the time of your medicine. You hadn't eaten anything since yesterday chalo I will bring something for you and then will give you medicine. Maan left her on the bed and was about to go out when she held his hand making him stop.
Maan looked at her questioningly, wo I want to come with you. Maan nodded no but she pouted her lips. He sighed and sat by her side. He caressed her head and said,geet you are still weak and that attack had totally worn you out. I don't want you to stress anymore, please rest I will be back soon. He tried to sound as understanding he can but she just pouted her lips more. He was about to leave her when she said, maan please I want to be with you, I' I feel uncomfortable alone, she said looking around.
Maan understood she is still fearing of being alone and thus without a word lifted her in his arms carrying her downstairs. He took her down and placed her on the kitchen slab. He searched the cabinets for food and found some pasta in the cabinet.
He took it out and poured the pasta in a pan. Geet got down to cook the food for them but he gave her a threatening glance. She felt a shiver run down her spine seeing his glare. She stuttered, wo wo I got down to cook it, kacha thodi khaenge, she said giving him a silly smile while he just glared her back.
He again put her on the slab and said, I will cook the food, you just sit here and not a single move more or you are going back the very next second. You know cooking, she said shocked. He nodded and went back to his cooking.
She pouted knowing that he is way too angry about that but she also knew its just her fault only. And he totally correct on his part. He continued to cook without giving her a single glance while she kept staring him, waiting for his single glance.
He served the pasta in a bowl and gave it to her, then he lifted her again and took her upstairs while she was holding the bowl in her right hand while her left hand was around his neck.
He placed her slowly down on the bed but suddenly she got a jerk in her neck and winced a little. He immediately got worried and said, are you okay jaan, he immediately placed his hand at the back of her neck supporting her, checking her wound while she stared at him, at his concerned eyes, his restlessness.
A smiled formed on her lips seeing his care, one side he is angry so much on her while the other side he cant tolerate her single wince, her single pain. His smile just got wide looking at him. Maan suddenly noticed her smile and just gave her a glare realizing she is okay and fine. He gave her the pasta back and went to sit other side of the bed.
She looked at him sitting silently and crawled to him on her knees to him. He looked at her but didn't said anything. She took the spoon full of food near his lips, he turned his face other side. Geet its for you, eat quietly and don't irritate me.
She went tear stung back her eyes hearing his rude tone and again took a spoon to his mouth. He pushed the food again making hot pasta fell on her hand. She winced and he immediately held her hand blowing it to sooth the pain. He wiped the pasta of her hand and checked it. After ensuring she is fine, he took the spoon of pasta near her mouth urging her to eat.
She refused and immediately cupped his face. Maan you too didn't ate anything since yesterday, then how can I eat without you. Maan looked at her lost. She took the spoon and made him eat first. He ate a bite without any fuss and then feed her the rest. Both kept on feeding each other.
After the food he gave her medicines and tugged her in the spread. He settled beside her but didn't took her in his embrace. He tucked his back to her laying opposite side. She felt hurt as it's the first time he did that after their marriage.
She turned other side and tears flew seeing his indifference. She could tolerate his anger, his shout but his indifference she could never take. She kept on crying feeling hurt. She was sobbing lightly when maan heard her hiccupping voice. He immediately sat down and made her turn to his side in a second.
His heart clenched seeing her face full of tears. She already was pale and the continuous crying of hers was making her more weak. He immediately lifted her placing her head on his lap. He immediately cupped her face worried, kya hua geet, is your head paining again. He wiped off her tears and but again a fresh layer replaced it. He again asked, mishty bolona, is your head paining again, kho to meera ko call karun.
He was about to call meera but geet hugged him tightly by waist still laying on his lap hiding her face in his stomach. Maan she sobbed. Please shout on me, please be angry on me but don't show your indifference I cant tolerate that please. She sobbed in his stomach wetting his shirt.
Maan hugged her back tightly, patting her soothing her down. She calmed down after a while but kept hugging him tightly. Mishty shhh, its ok. I am not angry jaan, please calm down, he said patting her and caressing her hairs.
I know you are hurt just trying to control for me, haina, she said between her hiccups. No I am not geet, he said turning away his face from her. Agar you are not angry then say that looking in my eyes. Maan didn't looked at her neither said anything.
She sat down and moved to his lap. He placed his hand around her waist to support her. She placed his hand on her heart and then spoke, you always say na that you have right on me, to apko gussa hone ka bi utna hi hak h jtna pyaar ka but please show your anger on me instead of consuming within yourself.
