Chapter 9

Geet had her thoughts all jumbled, they were going in all direction yet she failed to understand what Maan meant. She played the words that Maan said to her in all the while, yet there was confusion. she couldn't understand why?

" What did he mean by he doesn't want us to be friends, does that mean that he too like Antara Di is deserting me, will he leave me? He must have gotten livid with my clumsiness,I'm such an idiot!" Tears welled up in her eyes thinking she had lost her best friend, her philosopher, her guide, her love. Geet felt so vulnerable and alone, her body racked with violent spasms of insecurity and she fell to her knees while she covered her face with her palms and cried like a small girl denied of candies.

She was jarred out of her sorrow when she heard the same deep baritone voice.

"Geet what is it? Why are you crying? Is it because of what I just told you? Oh no!"

Maan had his one hand reach to his temples and massage vigorously while his other hand lay at his hips. He couldn't actually believe the situation at hand. He had walked out a few minutes back confessing his love to his wife and that struck her like a lightening and here she was all by herself sitting on the thick carpeted floor of their room crying to glory at her husband's honest confession. He made a mental note of taking things slow and steady. With that he proceeded towards the wobbly scared figure of Geet who eyed him warily.

Geet saw him coming towards her. One moment he seemed all exasperated and the very next moment she saw compassion, understanding, love spread across his handsome face as he took steps towards her. She saw him smile in understanding when he bend down to pick her up. He looked so calm, serene and at peace as if he had experienced paradise.

He held her by her shoulders and picked her up and when she averted looking straight into his eyes and dipped her head in embarrassment, he simply held her face with his fingertips and made her look into those provocative but soft chocolate brown eyes. Against his tall frame she stood like puny scared creature looking warily into his eyes that held promises and the first of which she could read and that was "security".

He looked into her hazels that looked vulnerable scared insecure at the moment and soothed her with his one look which held so many unsaid words.

"Geet I never intended to scare you, no! that was not my idea, I just wanted to tell you that I want our relationship to work. I want us to work. Geet whatever it is between us, I don't know what it is, there's a strange uncanny bond that binds us together where we don't require words to understand each other. I don't know what these feelings are that I experience every time you are around, but all know is it cannot be mere friendship. So I want to test my feelings and give ourselves a chance. That all I meant when I said that don't want to friends with you ant more not because I got livid with you or your clumsiness, in fact I love it when you fumble and falter and come running to me for help, there's a cute pout that adorns your face and you look adorable, believe me."

Geet looked into his eyes and Maan saw a flicker of confusion when he mentioned the reason for her crying.

"see even without you telling me, I know that it was because I said I no longer intended to carry on with our friendship is what made you cry and insecure, now don't ask me how I know that, it's written all over your face, you look like a panic stricken mess. It is this uncanny bond I was talking where we don't need to tell each other about our likes dislikes or insecurities, we know them naturally as if bound to. I know it must be difficult for you to take such a giant leap, so am gonna give you time and together we will take one step at a time in this journey. So are you with me?"

He left the sentence half hanging eyeing Geet with equal confusion and from the his features that looked stressed now that he asked her, it seemed like his entire life depended upon that one yes.

"yes" Geet said looking dumfounded and struck by his sudden and honest confession.

Maan simply leaped in and took Geet into his arms holding her tight against his tall frame and whispered close to her ears, "paradise"

Then suddenly as he said so he felt Geet struggling in his arms as if trying to free herself from his grip. He looked down at her and asked "what is it? Is there any problem?". Geet just freed herself from him and went and stood next to the window in th room while Maan stood there unable to fathom Geet's strange mood swings.

She then turned round and said something which made Maan gulp his laughter and marvel at her innocence.

"we'll first take small steps and then we'll decide whether the steps should be big or not, is that alright with you" she said while looking for her answer.

Maan simply nodded while trying to stall the laughter that threatened to explode out of his system.

He somehow composed himself, "I think now we should go down and attend our guests, already their imagination must be running high and wild given our newly married status as to what we are doing up here locked up in a room while it's almost time for them to depart. You get dressed I'll wait outside"

With that he left while color flared up in Geet's cheeks which didn't do unnoticed by Maan who now was smirking all long.

Once both Geet and Maan made their way downstairs, knowing smiles and smirks greeted them.

The ladies who had gathered around to bless the beautiful couple left no chance tease them.

"so Maan beta what took the two of so long" one of them asked

"aha Sunita c'mon Geet must have gotten stuck in that sari, so Maan was helping her out, right maan" and they all broke into giggles.

What was really amazing to Geet was Maan was actually enjoying their banter whereas for her it was all so embarrassing. She even glared at Maan for smirking but he gave her a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders as if telling her, what is his fault, he is as much a victim as her. She mentally chided that once she gets maan in private she will give him a piece of her mind but then hr mind went back to the warning he had given her in the room when he left her there to change. He had warned her that at her speed people are bound to get ideas and hell he was right as always as they ladies were hinting at all the obnoxious possibilities their mind could conjure up.

It was Daadima who came to her rescue,

"I think you people have teased Geet enough for the day"

she glared at her friends. Taking cue from Daadima they all made a hasty retreat and slowly each one of them departed wishing them both a happy prosperous and blissful married life.

Daadima now turned to Geet,

"beta I know my friends can put quite a charade sometimes and they can be really embarrassing, on other times it's unbearable Maan also but today with an exception I see that he was a mutual participant" she said while glaring at her grandson only to be baffled by an ear to ear grin from the other end.

"Daadima what did I do, I just stood there'" and before Maan could complete "smiling and enjoying" Daadima leaped in to complete for him.

"That's because I was thinking of something" Maan retorted

"and my dear grandson do you mind enlightening us as to what so amusing were you thinking about while the ladies left no stone unturned to embarrass your beautiful wife" Daadima teased.

"dinner, I was thinking about taking Geet out for a quite candlelit dinner at our farmhouse tonight" maan announced sitting on the sofa with sexy grin plastered upon his face."

"is that what you were thinking about actually?" Daadima asked eyeing Maan suspiciously and when he nodded in affirmative she simply said "excellent, that's an excellent idea, that way you could spend some time alone, I'll go and make arrangements, let me call Dushyant and tell him to get the farmhouse ready"

With that Daadima turned on her heel scurrying off to the phone to call the caretaker at the farm house while Geet stood there reeling still from the shock of going on a dinner date with Maan. She looked disoriented and for her it was too much to handle at the time, she looked dazed.

As if reading her thoughts Maan , simply beckoned her with his eyes to sit down.

She gingerly sat on one of the sofas from across Maan trying to gauge his mood and his expressions. He seemed impassive but the naughty gleam and the smirk couldn't go unnoticed.

He sat there waiting for her to say something or badger him a volley of questions .

He seemed smooth absolutely unperturbed and waiting, as taking cue from his lead, Geet began,

"Maan a while ago we discussed that we would be taking small steps towards making this relationship work, then all of a sudden why did you announce that you would take me out for dinner that too in solitude away from the city at the farmhouse, don't you think it's more than a small step, it's more like a ..."

"leap" Maan completed, when Geet looked confused and flustered, he added, "to you, it's a giant leap f, you might be thinking what's with this man? But Geet to me it's the very first step, a step where we need to spend some time alone and be in each other's company, in order to understand each other, I know you'll say I just admitted a few minutes back in our room that we already know each well to enough, but there's more to us as we traverse on this journey of marriage ad for that it's necessary to spend time alone"

Maan left the last word of the sentence hanging trying to gauge Geet's mood. She seemed confused yet convinced from what little he could read from her expressions. When she didn't say anything for sometime he cleared his throat jarring her from her own sweet thoughts saying, "why are you afraid of me?" he asked quirking his brow while a mischievous mirth tugged at his lips as if teasing her.

"huh" Geet could manage only that because the sudden question took her by absolute surprise and the very fact that Maan was enjoying himself to the hilt seeing her helplessness and she suddenly got all the power, strength and courage to face the sexy devil in front of her when she replied haughtily, "scared! And me! No, and by the way what's the joke? You have been enjoying it in the mind for quite sometime now, I can see that, you are smiling."

Her sudden jaunty humor and confidence caught Maan completely off guard and for a moment or so felt completely at the loss of words. In fact he was shocked the way Geet replied, he had never expected her turn to a sassy damsel in a minute from her otherwise docile nature. But he was loving it. The way she looked him in the eye, challenged him with her tongue in cheek reply, glared at him for taking undue advantage of her predicament, it all added to her desirability and she looked hot like never before while she launched her own attack upon Maan. He loved it all.e made a mental note, "hmm, so Mrs Khurana wants to play, so be it, we'll play" and that very moment he was ready with equally something witty to counter his beloved wife's attack.

"the joke is, well I thought, I was the one who was waltzing but I guess it's going to be quite interesting matching with your steps, keeping pace with you, because I have competition and what a competition" he said eyeing Geet provocatively once again having her at the receiving end and from what he could see, though his words made her nervous yet she seemed not to give up, in fact put up a brave fight.

She held her chin up and said, "what competition are you talking about? We were discussing about your joke which is perhaps too amusing to you and you have it plastered somewhere in your mind that it is actually difficult for you wipe that charming grin off your face." She said it with a smile fluttering her eyelashes while her voice was laced with irritation that gave Maan the clearer picture of how well he had succeeded in is task to rattle her.

"god, she looks so cute and sexy and hot" he thought and felt like crushing her into his arms and'''. His thoughts trailed off when he imagined the next inevitable, "it'll happen Maan, it'll soon follow, so Geet you wanna glide we'll do it, but in style, in my style, the game is yours but I get to set the rules darling and there's no turning back" he thought and without any further warning he prowled his way to where Geet was seated and bend down at her level and whispered in a husky tone, "I was thinking how to offer you paradise, to me you are priceless to me and am one hell of a lucky man. I know now you are dancing on your own because of your insecurities, of the invariable questions that plague your mind right now about me and our relationship but one day you'll have to come out of your inhibitions and you'll learn to trust me. This journey, this dance will all be about it and when you do so, it'll be our dance our journey and we both would be waltzing along then and then I would offer you paradise on a gold platter, our paradise honey" he finished.

"what is paradise Maan?" Geet asked in a trembled tone

"you" Maan replied and before she could say or react to his words he stole a kiss on her cheeks while sauntering off not before adding, "be ready by 6 and in a sari".
