"Okay, everything was ready. I can't believe that Maan was able to convince Dadima. Now, I will have to move with just him. Oh god I don't know how I will be. I mean yes we are giving each other a fresh start but I don't know how comfortable I will be with him. I mean right now whenever he is near me I have loss of words, I don't know how to act or even speak, his once touch is enough to send shivers down my body then how will I manage alone with him that too far far away from everyone?"
Maan looks at Geet from the door, she was sitting on the bed pondering. He knew she was nervous to move with him even he was but it was needed. He was happy that Dadima was able to forgive him but still he can't forgive himself for whatever he has done. He knew Geet has a big heart and overtime she will forgive him but the scar and the pain he has caused on her heart and soul will be always there. There was no cure for it.
He moves inside the room toward where Anamkia was what seemed like talking to herself. He picks her up from the crib. She needed a diaper change. He places her on the baby changing counter and began changing her diaper. She was being very childish. Whenever he would begin to put a new diaper on she would start kicking her legs laughing and smiling making it difficult for him. He tickles her little belly making her laugh more.
Geet comes out of her thoughts when she heard a loud screeching sound of Anamika. She looks around the room in fear and was shocked to see Maan changing her diaper. Or at least try to change her but Anamika wouldn't budge. She walks up towards him standing next to him to help.
Maan sensed Geet standing next to him but he didn't dare to look at her. He just kept his focus on Anamika. He wanted to see what she would do. Would she say something or just stand there see him try to put the diaper on. Even his daughter is all set to make him a fool like Vicky wasn't enough.
"I can't believe he is actually changing his diaper. I looked at Anamika who was leaving no stone unturned to annoy Maan but he doesn't seem to mind it. He was actually enjoying this little moment with her. Maybe I should help I know Anamika won't budge. I raised my hands and placed them on top of his stopping his every movement. He looks at me not shocked but he smiled as if he was expecting this. Am I predictable?"
"I uhh"
"No its okay I will do it. We will just leave her here if she doesn't let me change." (Anamika stops moving her legs as if she actually understood him. Her eyes starts to fill with water and started crying. Maan picks her up holding her in his arms. He looks at Geet with half smile who just shook her head in amazement)
"Dhust dhanv"
She says under her breath. Maan heard her but chose to ignore it as he has a bigger problem in his arms. Anamika. Bad move Maan. Geet looks at him trying to make her quiet but she only cried louder and louder. Geet comes near him and grabs Anamika from his arms but she kept kicking her arms away. Maan places her head on his shoulder and gently patter her back to make her quiet down. Her one arm was placed on his shoulder and her other arm was on his face hitting him with her small little hands.
"I uhh need to feed her"
"ohh uhh" (Both felt awkward. Geet goes behind Maan to get attention of Anamika. She looks at her and turns her head away snuggling closer to Maan.) "She won't come it looks like. Why don't you feed her while I hold her?"
"Ji?" (Geet looks here and there. Good thing she was standing behind her and didn't have to face him after he said that line. Maan mentally smacks his head for saying this.)
"I uhh meant was that...uhh I will turn my head and u uhh feed her" (he holds her in his arms and tried to give her to Geet but she wouldn't budge. As soon as Geet would try to touch her she would start crying and kicking her arms and legs harder.)
"uhh okay..."
Geet sits on the bed as Maan sat besides her. With one hand he pulls up the blanket to cover her. He puts his one arm around her shoulder bringing her somewhat closer. Both look at one another feeling weird and awkward. Geet turns her head around unable to look at him. He brings his other arm, holding Anamika close to Geet's chest under the blanket. Geet places her hand under Anamika's head where Maan's hand also reside. Maan couldn't move his hand knowing Anamika would wake up.
Maan raises Anamika so she can start her feeding. Both didn't look at each other. Geet had her eyes focused on Anamika while Maan looked everywhere else but to his left side. Her hands were so soft as it was on top of his hand. She was trying not to move as much especially her hand. Both stayed stiff until Anamika was done. Maan comes closer to properly hold her. His breath was near her neck making her shiver. She closes her eyes and just waited for him to take her.
"woh uhh I will be back" (He places Anamika in the crib and leave the room. Geet lies on the bed covering herself with a smile)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maan was going down the stairs and frowns when he sees Geet's dad coming up the stairs. Both look at one another stopping halfway.
"I heard you are leaving tonight to London?"
"yes, I am. All the arrangements are done."
"hmm just know I will come after you if you do anything to all three of them."
"hmmm well if you excuse me I have to do some packing"
"I still don't like you, you know but I am willing to put it aside for them"
"Likewise." (Both look at one another with anger before walking away.)
Maan saw Meera and Yash playing with Vicky in the living room. Great another hurdle in the way. Maybe I can quietly leave without having them noticing me since their backs are turned from me. He quietly walks toward the exit and was about to step out when he heard Vicky's voice. Great. How can I underestimate my young brother and his big mouth?
"bhai play with us"
"uhh I have to do some packing"
"Maan" (he heard Yash's voice. He comes and stands in front of him and raises his hand for a handshake.) "I am really happy with this decision of yours. Congratulations"
Maan smiles and shakes his hand.
"Also, me and Meera will be staying here for a while. We are moving down here to be closer to everyone. No one is in Lodon and what better way to raise your kids than in India?"
"ohh congrats." (Both stayed quiet not knowing what to say anymore.) "uhh excuse me..." (Yash moves out of the way letting him go.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Geet looks at everyone in tears. She hugs Dadima tightly as both ladies cried...
"come with us Dadima. I can't leave you alone here"
"who said I will be alone here. I have your dad and now Yash and Meera with me. You need to go and start afresh. You need to move away and forget all the bad memories related to this house. Everyone needs a new start Geet. This is your chance. Go." (She wipes her tears and smiles. Dadima holds Anamika in her arms and kisses her gently. Vicky hugs Dadima around his waist sniffling.) "Aww my little baby stop crying now."
"I will miss you G-ma...I will send you picture of myself everyday so you don't forget me..."
"I won't forget you and you better send me every single day. Okay?"
"Okay, I promise"
Maan gives Dadima a hug while she recopirates the same.."take care of them..they are your responsibility now. Okay." (She whispers. Maan nodes his head. After 20 minutes all the goodbyes were done and all four of them were now traveling to the airport to start a new life. Vicky kept his head near the window looking outside as soon as they were at the airport. A private jet was there awaiting for them.
Geet held Anamika in her arms as she slept peacefully. Maan opens the door and all proceeded towards the plane for their new journey.
