Maan was relieved when the ceremony had finished. Since Anamika was sleeping on his chest Geet took her to the bedroom. This as going to be a perfect time to talk to her but I have to wait. All of my relatives, want to talk to me and congratulate me. No wonder, I hate these social gatherings. If it wasn't for Anamika I was not going to be here. Everyone put on their fake smiles as they congratulated me. I didn't pay any attention to what they were saying. All my focus was on Geet who was upstairs. I wanted to go right now and see her. I had so many things to say but didn't know how.
I practiced in front of the mirror but I knew once am front of her nothing will make any sense. I actually don't even know how she will react. Will she give me another chance? I don't want to cause her any pain and I would happily take her pain on myself, if I have to but I need to know. Maybe I just need a closure.
Thank god everyone left me alone. Now, I can make my way toward's Geet. I took a deep breath. My heart started to beat faster with anticipation and nervousness. I was scared not because I was seeing her but because I am afraid of her reaction and her answer. I don't know what to expect but whatever her decision might be, I will accept it.
I started to take small steps when I heard someone calling me from behind. I turned around and it was Geet's father. Great. Just what I needed.
"May I speak with you?"
I wanted to say no but I can't be rude at least not today.
"sure."
Mohindar, leads him towards the study room. Maan looks at his watch, he needed to get out of here.
"It is about you and Geet. Listen, we don't know where our feelings for Geet stands. I still can't seem to forgive you for everything you have done. But that doesn't mean I hate you. This past month whatever has done with Geet made me angry and furious to see her in that coma stage. I hated seeing my granddaughter locked up in that little incubator trying to survive. I couldn't forgive myself enough to know I wasn't there for her when she needed me the most. I am not saying what I did in my past is forgivable but what you have done isn't either."
"When I saw you taking care of Geet while she was in coma something striked me inside. I, along with everyone, wasn't sure if you were acting to look "good" in front of us of if those were really your feelings. Day and night you stayed by both of their sides. You took care of them. When Geet woke up, I wasn't sure how was your behavior going to be. I was scared. I thought you would become possessive again just to be near her but you didn't."
"You maintained your distance from both of them. You made sure you didn't come in front of her. I also know, that you kept an eye on them as well using your servants."
"What are you trying to say?"
"The loneliness and the longing I had seen on your face once used to be like mine. When I left Geet and her mother for job, I had the same look. The only difference was I couldn't go back. I wanted to prove to them that I could become someone too. I wanted to give them all the happiness in the world. When I realized it it was too late. I was working with Yash's family. His dad helped me a lot. I treated Yash like my kid and took care of him after his parents passed away. Yash became my priority and my responsibility. I didn't realize the passing years. But still no matter what I had done, my longing I had for my daughter and wife remained the same. I thought of them day and night."
"There were actually some times when I wanted to end my life but couldn't because of Yash. Maan, I see myself in you. The history is repeating again with you. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like you as much but I can't see you and Geet separated either."
"My daughter may not say anything to me but her eyes speak everything. I have seen something in those eyes for you. Call me crazy but I think she might be having some feelings for you. Today, during the ceremony, when you didn't show up. She kept looking toward the door. Her eyes were looking for you among the crowd. The small smile that formed on her lips when you came. The eyes lit up. I know I can't be wrong when I saw that."
"If her happiness lies with you than I am more than willing to give you both a chance. Please don't disappoint us. I don't know about your feelings for Geet or where you stand but I needed to let you know. The decision is up to you now." (He looks at him one more time and leaves)
Maan quickly leaves the study room running upstairs with a smile. I can't believe whatever he said was it true? I can't wait to see my Geet. I want to here what she has to say. I looked at the closed door. My hands started to shake as I reached for the door knob. I slowly open the door and was shocked at what I heard.
"I want a divorce"
Maan peaks through the door where Geet sat on the bed with tears talking to Meera. She wants a divorce from me? He laughs to himself. Of course why wouldn't she. I was a fool to think I could be given a chance. She hates me. If that is what she wants then I will give it to her. If that is what makes her happy. He walks away sad without waiting to hear another word.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet sat on the bed looking at Anamika who slept peacefully. She was happy that he came even if it was for Anamika. She was happy for her daughter to spend some time with her father. Everything seemed to wonderful.
Geet smiles when she saw Meera bringing some food for her. She sits on the bed with a smile looking at Anamika and then towards Geet.
"Eat something. I know you haven't ate anything since morning."
"Thanks Meera. I know we hadn't had time to talk since you came."
"We can talk now. Have a lot of things to update you on."
"Like what?"
"Well for once you are becoming an aunt" (Geet looks at Meera with happiness.) "Our little Anamika will have someone to play with"
"That is great. I am really happy for you."
"Geet if I ask you something will you answer me truthfully?"
"Yes, sure Meera. Ask me anything."
"Do you love Maan?" (Geet looks at her shocked. She diverts looking at her focusing everywhere else but Meera) "Do you hate Maan?" (Geet tears starts to spill hearing her asking questions) "Do you want a divorce from Maan?"
"how can you even think that I want a divorce?"
"then what do you want Geet. Just say it. Just say that you have started to like him. Say the truth which I and everyone has seen in your eyes for him. Tell me all that was a lie. Was it Geet? Or you actually hate him."
"yes, I do love him." (She gets up) "I like him. This past month, this separation slowly killed me from the inside. I never realized it before. I used to stand at this window looking outside to get one glimpse of him. I yearned to know what he is doing every minute, weather he was okay, weather he was eating on time. Everyday I thought to myself, why is he avoiding me. Why does he not show me his face. Why is he there by himself. I never thought the same person that suffocated me with his love before, I would actually miss."
"You know when I injured my foot, you know who bandaged it? Maan. He came here at night to bandage my foot. He knew about my injury before I even knew it myself. You know how? He has cameras in this room that he uses to keep an eye on me and Anamika. To make sure we are safe. Then he told me that still haunts me, he promised to himself that he would stay away from me once I was awaken from coma. I don't know why but that pained me. It really hurt me a lot to know why he is avoiding me."
"I didn't know what feelings i had inside of me. What to name them. I was actually scared to talk to anyone about this. No one knows. I was scared of everyone's reactions. I didn't want anyone to hate me thinking I have gone crazy to like a person that gave me pain. Meera am I crazy? Do you hate me?"
"No. I don't hate you. In fact, no one can hate you falling in love Geet. We can't control our heart. Our heart lets us express our feelings for others in some shape or form. I got to tell you that I don't like Maan. I don't like him for hurting you so much BUT I do think maybe he has changed. He is not the same ruthless person like he used to be. If your happiness lies with him than go to him. Express your feelings."
"Do you think he feels the same for me as well?"
"I don't know but you have to find out and the only way to do that is to be near him. Go talk to him."
Geet smiles and hugs Meera.

"Adi book my ticket for London ASAP. I want to go there by tomorrow evening. No if or buts do what I say."
He throws the phone on the ground with anger "I am leaving Geet. If that is what you want. If that is where you happiness lies than I will go away for you"
Geet looks out the door "tomorrow will be a new day for the both of us Maan. Weather you have the same feelings for me or not. I will always love you." (She smiles)
