Chapter 81
Who knew time would fly so fast when you are with the people you love? I didn't even realize where these four months had gone by. Everything seemed so perfect and surreal as if it was a dream. A dream where I don't want to wake up from ever. My fondest memory of this whole thing was Disneyland trip. It was my first time going there and oh my god everything was so amazing mostly because I found out that Maan hates rollar coaster and is scared of heights. Ha who would've known that Maan Singh Khruana, who by the way, goes on flights for business trips very often is scared of heights. Really?
So me and Vicky had to see exactly how scared he really is. I know he can't say no to me especially when I make my puppy dog face thanks to Vicky for that. So Maan wen to the ride with Vicky and I swear to god the expressions he made while he was on top of the ride was hilarious. He tried to put on a brave face but I could see behind that mask was a chua Singh Khruana.
Obviously, I don't call him that on his face anymore. One time I did and guess what he did. He kissed me in public until he heard people screaming and hooting at us in happiness; it was the land of magic. Anyway, I got so embarrased and I tried even hitting him to stop kissing me but he just went on kissing me as if he didn't care.
After that moment I made a mental note not to call him Chua in front of his face anymore. I am so glad that Vicky is not like him all revengefull and is complete opposite of him, well for now anyway.
Now, we have this ritual where we skype with everyone back home we even plan on making a trip to India soon, by soon I mean next week, since everyone is on talking terms now, except Maan and my dad. Both talk but still they are very distant. I could feel the cold vibes from them and it is kind of awkward now. Maan has been nothing but the best person he had promised us to be. He makes sure all of our wishes and desires come true no matter what. He was able to take the fear of us leaving Vicky away from him. Now, Vicky attends school regularly without any fear or hesitiation.
I still remember the day I had asked him to go to school. He was crying throughout the whole way to the school and it did not help that Maan came with me as well. He got even more worried that we all will be leaving him forever. I had to glare at Maan for his stupid idea of coming with us and he as usual didn't find any mistakes of his own actions. So as a result, I made Maan stay in the class with him the whole week. That's right. Maan Singh Khurana attended 1st grade class for a week. He had to make him feel comfortable since he was the one that made him feel this insecure.
I know what you all are thinking and at this point might be smiling about. I am the best. I made Maan go attend 1st grade all over again. Didn't he deserve it? After that whole week Vicky was finally easing into this whole public school thing. He loved it. It was much more chilled enviornment than that of private schools. He made so many friends and right after school he knew either I or Maan will pick him up.
He was slowly becoming independent. Of course, once in a while, he would ask Maan to help him draw and I would laugh much to his annoyance reagarding this. He did not even want to remeber that one week of school and according to him dealing with all the questions kids kept asking him. Like why are you so tall? Why do you have a beard? Why are you in this class? Did you fail? Ohh I wish I was there to witness him trying to answer all the questions patiently not wanting to scare the kids. According to him, those were his worst moments ever that he wants to keep locked up.
Now about mine and Maan's relationship since that is the main thing most of you guys must be thinking about. Well, let me tell you we both are where we were six months ago. We have not taken another step yet. I mean we are kissing and teasing each other mostly me to annoy him and I am comfortable with him as well.
All my fears were almost gone. I just don't know how to take the first step and why should I take the first step? It should be the guy right? I mean how can I say something like this? Just the thought of us taking the next step makes my stomach feel weird with nervousness than how can I talk about this topic? So I decided it will be safe if I wait for him. Maybe he is still living in guilt?
"Di look what bhai is doing"
I rolled my eyes must be another prank my Maan to annoy Vicky. I swear to god he has become a little kid after attending 1st grade. Sometimes I feel like I don't have two but three kids. I kind of like this side of his. He really has changed for the better. I guess I have to deal with them first before I could get some packing done for India.
"What is going on?"
I looked around and saw Vicky covered in paint from head to toe hiding behind me while Maan tried to hide the paint and paint brushes behind his back acting all innocent. He, too, was convered in paint mostly the face and hands. Great just another day for me. I put my hands on hips with anger and yeah this time it was real anger. I was not faking it. The whole living room was a mess! How am I suppose to clean and pack if they keep this up?
"What is going on? Maan are you a baby?"
"It is Vicky's fault. He asked me to help him paint and when I did he started painting on my face. I was just going along with him"
"Maan he is a kid." (Vicky noded with an innocent face while Maan looks at him shocked. He was getting yelled at for something he didn't do or was at fault) "You should know better"
"But..."
"And you..." (Geet grabs Vicky's ear pulling it slightly until he looks at her with apologetic look) "you should learn to behave or else I won't help you next time"
"am sorry di...bhai was troubling me and asking me about this girl so I painted his face for revenge"
"What girl? Vicky you shouldn't think about girls just yet."
"Why not? Bhai was telling me when he had girlfriends at this age. He said that they used to kiss him on his face. YUCK"
I glared at Maan in anger while he looked away. He looked like a deer caught in a headlight.
"hmm I will talk to you both later but first you are both going to clean this mess up"
"WHAT!!" (Both yelled at the same time)
"Yes! And Maan you better not call anyone to help you. I will be right here to keep an eye on both of you. Come on get cleaning. I want everything the way it was"
"BUT it was his fault" (Both again said at the same time pointing fingers at one another)
"Maan it was your fault for teasing him and Vicky it was your fault for getting revenge. You both should've known better. Now, I am going to take Anamika upstairs for her nap. Clean up until then."
I am so glad I have one good person in home for now. I looked at both of them in anger before walkign away with a smile. This should teach them a lesson on not to do this agian. As for Maan, I will have to speak with him later regarding these girlfriends business. What is he teaching that little boy.
Precap: INDIA!!!!
