MG FF- PARINEETA THREAD #5 - Page 41

Dadima couldn't believe what she was hearing! She had strong believes that if any one of them puts in a little effort… then probably they could be together.. and seeing this coming from Geet..she was more than happy but still a fear lurked within,… what if Geet gets hurt in the process?

Geet persuaded dadima to go back to her room and rest saying it was all fine.. and settled back on the couch! She closed her eyes and tears rolled out….

"I wonder how long I will be able to hold on Maan! But I will remove all the bitter memories and insecurities from your heart!!! I love you!"

She went to bed… but she couldn't sleep…. She hadn't been able to sleep for the past few days! And today..maan's open confession just pushed her more into thinking that what could have happened….so bad that he has shut himself like that? He has even stopped socializing! Yes anisha's demise was a big blow to him..but still… she wasn't convinced.. like there was more to it! She closed her eyes..and her own confession came back to her! she smiled.. she has to be brave. She recalled the time when she had met Maan for the 1^st time.. quiet, reserved and hardly spoke to anyone. She was the one who had taken the 1^st step towards him.. she was doing the same thing today! Her smile went wider remembering all the childhood memories… how she used to boss over him, threaten him to speak out what was bothering him, kick those bullies who troubled him in school….all the memories came back one by one.. and she was again standing in the same spot… everything has to start from scratch… but with one difference… she realized that she is just madly in love with him.. even now!

"gehri thi raat lekin hum khoye nahi,
dard bahut tha dil mein par hum roye nahi,
koi nahi humara jo puchhe humse ,
jaan...jaag rahe ho kisi ke liye
ya kisi ke liye soye nahi"

She woke up a bit early…. It was early hours of dawn… the sun hadn't risen yet and the atmosphere had a certain chillness. Geet looked out of the window..over the garden… a light mist covered the air around… it was 5:30 in the morning. She thought something and decided to go for a jog. She had been ditching her workout for a long time! She changed into her tracks and tee, wore her shoes, tied her hair in a pony and ran out. She came back and took her ipod and put on the ear plugs. The weather was just too good.. the chillness around..along with the mist.. that actually made her feel better. She ran out, taking the fresh air in.

Maan woke up with a slight headache..all alcohol effect. She cursed himself… it was never in him to get drunk.. he knew his limits but guess sometimes its just better to remain immune to everything and alcohol has the best effect. Memories of Geet in that saari… and that look in her eyes.. they still afresh in his mind! He didn't want to face 'this' Geet… she was someone too alien to him.. he actually couldn't connect to her. he saw the time… and then looked out. He had his cell beeping with the reminders of his pending works. He freshened up and walked to the garden with his laptop and some files. He sat in his usual place in the swing and started working… it was his usual habit.. and probably this could be a distraction.

Geet enjoyed her morning… and she decided to open her heart… she loved Maan… more than ever.. and there was no way she will stop herself from expressing herself… there was no selfish reasons.. she didn't want him to think ever that she wanted to take anisha's place! She was happy with whatever little space she had in his life. All she wanted was to bring him back.. to get him live again! He had shut himself up.. and that everyone had changed…but the fact was.. only he had changed over the years.

The atmosphere was slowly getting warmer.. and he just dipped himself more and more in work. He felt the sun on his skin… and that's when he felt someone thump beside him, panting. It was then he looked somewhere else than his lappy in the past one hour and saw Geet..panting.. sweating profusely. Her head rested on the back rest and her ipod lay beside her. she had her eyes closed. He wondered what was she doing there.. when he obviously knew she was probably working out. Geet opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile on her face, reading the confusion on her face!

"good morning…", she said it softly.

"morning…." he said it coldly and looked back into his lappy. He had nothing to say… nothing to think! Geet sighed seeing his condition… but she had to be brave and then she remembered…. She was the Geet handa.. right… oops now Geet HANDA KHURANA…. She corrected herself mentally and laughed! It sounded sooo dhansu…. Geet handa khurana… and sooo funny that she couldn't stop laughing louder.

Maan looked at her, confused again. He was getting distracted…but then that laughter sounded so familiar. He looked at her…to see her actually laughing, especially after getting into km.

"you are distracting…" he tried to sound a bit firm.. but then he couldn't help it.

"ohh sorry sorry kuch funny yaad aa gaya… waise kya kar rahe ho itni subah subah?" she tried to initiate conversation.

[ohh sorry sorry… just remembered something funny… by the way what are you doing early morning?]

He felt there was no need to reply.. she was being just too formal….and he was quite sure he must have said something to her the previous night while he was drunk. He was not able to get her out of his mind… especially after last night when he had seen that look on her face and trying hard to remember what he had actually said. He searched for words but she made it easy perhaps.

"do you have office today? And yes don't skip your breakfast…"

"Geet… please, ", he cut her off…, "you don't have to do anything of this sort… and…. Umm… party… I just …i.." he struggled for words… he didn't know how to say it that he didn't want her to be at the party…. But then he had made everything clear to dadima and he needed to clear it with Geet too before she started taking it seriously.

He took a deep breath and said it in one go, "I just didn't want you to be in the party… just because we have signed some crap papers, doesn't make you my wife or me your husband…. Its just a lie… a false hope that dadima is nurturing…."

That did hurt!!! It wasn't a lie… probably a lie for him.. but not for her! but she recollected her strength… she tried to looked at the positive side… he cleared it out.. he cleared the air between them that hung so deep and thick and she was glad that he did so!!! She stuck to her resolve.

"oyeee… hello mr. khurana… I didn't want you in party matlab??? Tum akele akele party karoge aur mein?? Mein ghar pe akele rahun? Aur waise bhi… kal mein khud apni marzi se party mein gayi thi… samjhe.. na kisi aur ke kehne par!", she twisted her lips and looked away, faking anger.

[oyee hello… mr khurana… I didn't what you in party means? You will party alone? And I will stay at home alone? And yesterday I went to the party of my own accord and not on anyone's wish!]

For a moment Maan went silent, hearing that from her… so direct and so frank… just like old days! He actually liked it.. but he was shocked to see that sudden change!!! She looked at him from the corner of her eyes and saw him staring at her.

"kya.. aise ghoor kyun rahe ho han? Aur han ye koi shaadi waadi mein bhi nahi maanti! Hum dost the…. Aur humesha best friends rahenge!!! Some crap papers doesn't change anything okay."

[what… why are you staring at me like that han? And even I don't accept this marriage whatever… we were friends and will always be best friends! Some crap papers doesn't change anything okay.]

She just stood up and walked away, leaving Maan to ponder over her words. Geet walked faster so that she was out of his sight… and once she knew she was, she sighed in relief. It hurt yet again! Uff…. This is ooo stupid! Kuch karo tho bhi dard hota hain… kuch na karo tho bhi dard hota hain! Aakhir banda kare tho kare kya! She again shook her head, plastered a smile on her face and went to dia and namra's room to wake them up.

Maan was still not able to comprehend whatever happened.. but it actually felt good! And when she talked about being friends like before.. a heavy burden just got lifted off his heart… he was probably feeling lighter after sooo many days!!! And so much of relief!

It was a Saturday and dia and namra had a holiday! Geet went near their bed and started tickling them!!!

"wake up sleepyheads… aur kitna sona hain? "

[wake up sleepyheads… how much more you want to sleep?]

Dia starched cutely opening her eyes, "good morning angel…aaj school ni jaana…"

[good morning angel.. no going to school today…]

"pata hain… but I have planned to go to amusement park… agar tum logon ko nahi jaana hain tho mein roops ko hi lekar chali jaati hun…"

[I know… but I have planned to go to amusement park.. and if you people don't want to go then I will take roops with me..]

Dia's sleep vanished and she just jumped off from bed, "wow… amushment park?? Roops bhi aayegi…?"

Geet nodded a yes. Dia jumped in happiness, waking up namra to get ready. Geet herself took a bath and got the kids ready and escorted them to the breakfast table. They were right on time.. as Maan and dadima had just arrived there.

Maan kissed the girls, "kya baat hain..aaj itni subah subah taiyyar hokar kahan jaa rahi ho tum dono?'

[what happened… today early morning where you both are going getting dressed up like this?]

Namra; papa..aaj angel ke saath amusement park jaa rahe hain…

[papa.. today we are going to amusement park with angel..]

As they settled on the table, dia and namra kept telling him what all they will do and what all they will buy. Geet looked at Maan… and idiot didn't even look at her. she went ahead and served everyone. Maan took dia's bowl and started feeding her! Geet neared Maan and was about to serve on his plate when she heard him asking them, 'waise why this sudden plan?"

Geet rolled her eyes and murmured, 'baap ke paas time ho tab naa kuch hoga…"

[the father should have time na..then only something can happen..]

Maan heard her murmur something and looked up at her, narrowing his brows, "kuch kaha tumne?"

[did you say something?]

Geet served him, 'naa kuch bhi tho nahi..tumne kuch suna kya?'

[naa nothing.. did you hear anything?]

And she went back to her place. Dadima was proud of Geet… she could see the effort Geet was putting in making things work. Maan finished with his breakfast and walked out. Geet sighed and got ready to leave. She took the girls and headed towards the park. Roops was already waiting for them outside the park. The girls were more than happy to see her. everyone enjoyed but things were different for Geet.

Every ride.. every moment just seemed to remind her of Maan or made her miss him… she couldn't stop thinking about him when they had cotton candies… she recalled when they were younger, she'll finish her candy first and then snatch away Maan's! she sat on the pirate ship…that made her miss him… his smile… and that glow in his eyes… the ride went up and down and she was lost… recalling how she had just lost herself in him that day… those days were just perfect.

in the office… Maan was again distracted. He was still wondering whether she was just pretending to be 'his' Geet or was she really his Geet? But whoever she was… she actually made him feel better… much much better. He wound up for the day and decided to get back home. It was already 8pm. As his car pulled in km drive way, a sudden but an unknown anxiety was building up in him… he had loads of work… but that certain enthusiasm..he didn't know why it felt so! Suddenly everything changed. As he walked in.. he saw her…."Geet…" shouting and screaming and jumping…she was running after namra holding a glass of milk.

"namra…get back here…. Right now…"

Dia had again hidden herself under the table. Maan rolled his eyes..actually smiled. He went ahead and namra hid behind him. Geet was running with the glass..she hadn't seen Maan and just dashed right into him. He immediately held the glass first, stopping the milk from spilling on him and then caught her by her waist, stopping her from stumbling.

"Geet..sambhal kar… dekh kar nahi chal sakti?"

[Geet.. careful cant you see while walking?]

She twisted her lips, "then ask your lovely daughter to have her milk like a good girl.."

Dadima was coming downstairs for something when she caught the lovely sight infront of her. she was actually sooo excited seeing them together… she immediately sent a text message to roops.

Roops was sitting with jasmeet when her cell vibrated. A smile appeared on her face when she read it. Jasmeet was curious to know the reason and her eyes almost popped out reading the text…

"Maan, Geet and a glass of milk… umm shall we plan their SR soon? ;)"

Jasmeet wondered what was going on the other side and she replied back, "maa stop it!!! Even you…. :O leave them alone"

Namra giggled behind Maan and he let Geet go!! And the next moment he pulled dia out and held her up in the air!!

"aann papa chodo.. no milk… chiii…"

"dia..stop it… good girls take milk everyday!!"

"nooo……… phil namla ko bhi milk do…"

[noo…then give milk to namra also…]

Geet came and pulled dia's cheeks who was still in Maan;s arms.

"theek hain meri maa… lets have a competition who drinks milk faster!! Even Maan will join you… hai na Maan…"

[okay.. lets have a competition who drnks milk faster1 even Maan will join you.. right Maan…]

If someone saw them from afar.. they'll definitely think then as a perfect family… just that the reality was far from that!

Geet looked naughtily at Maan… his color faded… as if he was going to puke!!! He never liked milk.. for him.. milk stunk! And it was tasteless. He tried to escape.

"ahh..umm..no..i am tired.. I need to change…"

"papa… you cheating…"

"no baby.. am just tired.. dinner bhi nahi kiya na meine abhi tak…"

[no baby… am just tired and I still havnt' had my dinner..]

Dia: theek hai.. then we'll do it after your dinner…

At this Geet started laughing sooo loud..maan shot her a glare!

"leave it dia… your papa is just scared!"

"Geet.. stop lying.."

"arrey why should I lie.. that too in front of kids? Na baba na…" she made an innocent face!!!

"papa you don't drink milk.???", namra asked!

"ahh well.. i.. I drink…."

"kyun bachon ke saamne jhooth bol rahe Maan.. kuch tho sharam karo…" Geet managed to say between her laugh!!

[why are you lying in from of kids Maan.. have some shame…]

Maan just shot her a glare and walked upstairs to freshen up! Arrghh Geet was being too much!!! And he'll get back to her soon, he decided, again leaving behind a lonely geet!
