PART 36
"bahut zor se lagi hain kya?"
[is it hurt badly?]
"naa..doc says its just a minor fracture..it will be okay by the end of this week!"
"dinner kiya? Where are your medicines?"
[had dinner? Where are your medicines?]
Maan: haan baba..i had dinner with my client and medicines..ummm Adi must have kept it on the table!!
[yes baba.. I had dinner with my clients and medicines…umm Adi must have kept it on the table]
Suddenly geet waked his arm…actually on the same hand that was injured!!
"oucchh…geet what are you doing?"
He was reminded of the times when geet used to hit his arm when she'd be angry on him. He smiled seeing her expressions!
"you can't take care of yourself..can you? You know how worried I was?'
"what??" he looked up at her and found something in her that he couldn't understand!! And may be he didn't want to understand!
Geet realized what she said and cursed herself, "jhalli..muh bad rakh..you are mad!" and then turned to Maan, "wo..i mean Dadima was so worried pata hain na… tum call nahi kar sakte the kya?"
[idiot… shut your mouth..yu are mad..! wo..i mean..dadima was so worries you know… you couldn't call or what?]
Maan sighed and tried to reach for the water bottle kept on the table in front of him, "umm naa Dadima would have got more worried…"
Geet saw him trying to reach for the bottle but he was finding it difficult with one hand plastered. She rolled her eyes and brought him the bottle!
"thanks…"
She just didn't say anything. She looked away...just hating the formality between them. When he was done, she held his arm, "you better sleep…take rest"
Maan felt really awkward with her holding his arm like that. this was not the geet he had ever known and this was actually too much for him! He gave a very uncomfortable smile, "umm..geet chot mere haath mein lagi hain..pair mein nahi..i can walk!"
[umm..geet… my hand is hurt..not my legs.. I can walk]
Geet felt that crack in her heart again… she slowly looked up at him and found him looking at her intently. She took a deep breath in and slowly slid away her hand from his! Both didn't speak at all. He walked to his room while she just walked beside, carrying his medicines and files. As they neared his room Maan went in and switched on the lights. Geet quietly followed him and kept his things on the table! She turned to ask him what more he needed!
"wo tummhe kuch chahiye.."
[wo if you need anything…]
And he spoke simultaneously, "good night geet….i'll take it from here.." she just shut up instantly and left the room. It was a long day for Maan and he needed some time alone!
As geet left, he shut the door and stood in front of Anisha's portrait, caressing it.
"its tough to live like this Anisha….i know you must be hurt with that marriage thing..but mein iss shaadi ko nahi manta… wo bas Dadima ki zid thi.. and once she is over it..i'll set geet free…"
[its tough to live like this Anisha… I know you must be hurt with that marriage thing… but I don't call it a marriage….it was Dadima's wish.. and once she is over it… I'll set geet free..]
Geet slowly went into her room and saw dia and namra sleeping peacefully, cuddled up to each other. She thought of going to them… but then she didn't feel very good. She sighed and went near the window…looking out! she remembered how her hands slid away from his..and she smiled! that was okay no…! she smiled wider..and closed her eyes…feeling the breeze! A drop of tear trickled out of her eyes… but she didn't let her smile vanish!
It was early morning when geet heard Dadima shouting. She wondered what was wrong and that's when she realized she must be shouting at Maan! She freshened up and went downstairs only to see a worried Dadima scolding Maan for his carelessness. she went closer and made her sit on the couch.
"relax Dadima…. Zyada chot nahi aayi hain.. aap tension na lo…"
[relax Dadima… he is not hurt badly… you don't take tension]
Dadima looked away angrily, "aap tho humse baat hi mat kijiye geet… kal aapne hume uthaya kyun nahi jab Maan waapis aaye tho?"
[you don't speak to us geet… why didn't you wake us up when Maan was back?]
Geet hugged Dadima, "aww Dadima..i didn't want you to worry…"
"as if we are not worried now…"
Dadima looked at geet..wondering why there was a sudden melancholy look on her face. Dia and namra got ready and left for school. on Dadima's strict instructions Maan stayed back home. while having breakfast she noticed geet trying to avoid looking at Maan. She wondered what was wrong with them!!! they spoke..that was fine but geet avoided looking at him. Did anything happened between them?
Maan was finding it difficult to eat with his left hand. His right hand was plastered. Geet was serving Dadima and Maan when she saw him struggling to eat his food. Maan tried again but failed. Eating with left hand was tough. He tried again but this time the spoon slipped off and fell on the plate with a clank. Geet shook her head to take all the thoughts away from her mind and took his spoon. Dadima looked at both of them..still wondering what was wrong. they were speaking properly just the day before..but now what happened!
Maan looked at geet, twitching his brows. Geet just avoided looking at his face and held the spoon in front of his mouth!
"geet…I can eat…"
"yeah I can see that…"
Before he could say anything, she shoved the spoon into his mouth. Dadima smiled at geet's manmaani but she was worried too. They were again back at the formal thing! Maan looked quiet disturbed. He was not liking it at all. He ate a few spoons from her hand but unable to take it, he just left the table right there pushing away her hand, "just stop it geet! Just because we have signed those papers… you are not compelled to do anything of this sort!"
He just walked off. He cannot be unfair to Anisha..no.!! she was the one and only in his life..he will not betray her...never ever!!! Geet just stood there…numb! She had never thought of such a repercussion. She was just trying to help him..nothing else! Unknown to her, tears rolled down her eyes. Dadima felt really bad…she went and put her hand on her shoulder!
"am sorry beta,…"
Geet shook her head, trying to wipe away those tears, "no..its okay Dadima… i..i….shouldn't have…"
She couldn't even complete. She pretended to have done with breakfast and carried the plates towards the kitchen. She put the plates in the sink and sighed… okay she shouldn't have done that!! she shook her head to get away from those feelings and plastered a smile on her face and went out with a mug of coffee….she must apologize. She walked out..but then dropped the thought…he must be angry..so better to avoid going to him for the time being.
She prepared lunch and she didn't even realize when dia and namra were back. her afternoon went like that. she saw nakul hurrying up with Maan's lunch..it was tough to catch up with Maan's tantrums when he stayed back at home. servants ran here and there carrying out his orders and he just didn't even step out of the room.
Geet kept an eye on everything..he was probably in a very bad mood. So she avoided going in front of him. Dadima was going mad with Maan and geet's behavior. Later in the evening, dia and namra were busy doing their homework when geet went to the kitchen to finally take his coffee and apologize.
She took the coffee mug from nakul and headed towards his room. Not that she was scared of him…but there was this certain distance between them that created all the difference. She saw the door of his room open..probably he had kept it open for nakul. Nervous, she just peeped in and just stood rooted. Maan was trying to change his shirt and he had just opened his shirt. Her heart skipped a beat….she just kept gaping at him….he was someone that god had created with all his time…!
Maan felt someone watching him. He turned around and geet just hid back! she rested her head on the wall and took a deep breath in!! the only thing that came to her mind was 'beautiful'. She had never seen him like that… yeah she had seen him shirtless countless number of times yet he looked different…more manly now…he sure had grown up to be a charmer.
,
Maan shook his head finding no one around and shook his head and turned back to the mirror. He pulled the fresh shirt over his left hand and and realized it will be tough for him to put it over his right hand! He sighed when he felt that piercing gaze again…he thought maybe it was just his imagination but that feel did make him restless. He turned around towards the door once again and geet pulled herself back to hide herself.
Her heartbeats echoed in her ears…she tried hard to ignore them..but they just wouldn't go away! Millions of untold emotions that were buried deep within her found life!!! She shook her head a couple of times to avoid the feel but the more she tried to get away..the more they engulfed her! she again peeped in…worried about him. He was still struggling with his right hand. He had managed to take off his shirt..but he was finding it tough to move his hand. He called out to nakul a couple of times but probably he was busy with some other work. He called for another servant but he didn't show up either. He got really angry and punched the nearby wall with his fist!
Geet was startled to see it. She looked around and then realized she was still holding the coffee mug. She gathered courage and finally knocked the door, not able to see him that helpless. Maan very rudely answered, "come in.."
He thought it was nakul or some servant. Without turning back he just shouted back, "kitni der lagti hain tummhe..couldn't you hear…"
[how long does it take for you… couldn't you hear?]
He turned back..and stopped seeing geet placing his coffee on the side table. Before he could have said anything more, geet clarified, "wo..mein tumhari coffee laayi thi…"
[wo..i got your coffee…]
"umm theek hain….."
[umm..okay,…]
He just looked away. Geet managed to stop her tears from flowing out and walked towards him. He looked at her from the corner of his eyes, questioning her as to why she was still there. As if she read her thoughts…
"wo..i heard you calling for someone… nakul kaka is out for grocery…umm…i..mmm… I can help…"
Maan just kept looking away and didn't even speak a word. Geet sighed and went even closer to him. She held his right hand softly above his sling with one hand and stretched the other over his bare shoulder to reach for the shirt. Her hand slid over his bare shoulder softly… and she felt jitter s down her spine. She was horrified at her own reaction and looked up at his face. He was still looking away. She bit her lips and tried to concentrate on her work. She slowly raised his hand taking care that it didn't hurt and slid it through the sleeve.
"lo ho gaya…. "
[see its done]
Maan turned his face to look at her and then at his shirt. She tucked his shirt carefully around his sling and slowly buttoned his shirt.
"geet…its fine I can do that…"
she didn't listen to him and just kept on buttoning his shirt. Maan realized she wasn't listening. He spoke louder, "geet.."
"am sorry…" she cut him in between! He looked at her face.
"wo…I just wanted to help you….sorry agar tummhe hurt kiya tho…."
[wo..i just wanted to help you… sorry if I have hurt you…]
Maan guessed she was speaking about the breakfast fiasco. Somewhere even he felt bad for behaving rudely with her.
"look geet…even am sorry..i didn't mean to…"
"its fine Maan…just relax and take rest. Dadima is very worried. Tumne medicines tho le li hain na…"
[its fine Maan.. just relax and take rest. Dadima is very worried. You had your medicines na..]
"umm nahi..bas abhi lene hi jaa raha tha…"
[umm no i was just going to have them]
Geet moved back and went near his table and got his medicine. It was then he realized that she was done with his shirt. And the next moment she was right in front of him with his medicine. He gave a weak smile and had it.
"tumhari coffee rakhi hain table pe..have it warna thandi ho jayegi…."
[your coffee is on the table..have it or else it will get cold]
And she just walked out, his room had now started giving him a very different auras..like she never belonged to that place..there was no sign of geet… it was full of Maan and Anisha… and their love! She went to her room and found dia and namra waiting for her. she shrugged off all her feelings and got engaged with them.
The next morning…geet woke up early. She took a cold shower and stood near the window…staring outside! The sun had just risen and the morning rays just gave her a bit of warmth. She wiped her hair and put the towel aside. She pulled away the curtains of the window properly to let the sunlight in. the window overlooked the garden and there she saw Maan sitting on the swing…doing something on his laptop. She kept looking at him for a while..he hadn't taken a bath perhaps but he looked beautiful! She felt her heart thud again with those hidden emotions… and for a moment she just decided to give in! the sunrays hit his face..and for a while she felt she saw him glow. She took a deep breath in and smiled a bit… her morning haf never been this perfect before.
Maan had the habit for going for a jog early morning or a workout. But since he had hurt his hand, he decided to for a walk and settled on the swing with his laptop after he was done. He felt someone looking at him.. he raised his head only to see a blur image of geet standing by the window… with her hair open…gazing at him. He twitched his brows and smiled a bit. Geet was so lost in him that she didn't even realize him smiling at her! it was namra's voice that brought her back to reality. He had woken up and was waking dia up for school. she looked back at them and then looked at Maan who was looking at him. She suddenly felt her cheeks burn a bit…ohh god..did she blush? No that wasn't possible. She shook her head and again looked at him..he was smiling at her??? she was sure she was dreaming! She smacked her head and went in murmering, "geet..tu pagal ho gayi hain..tujhe hallucinations kab se hone lage?"
[geet you are getting mad… since when did you start having hallucinations?]
