"I am sorry maa..I was with aadi and lost the track of time in our chit chat.."He apologized entering inside.

"Its ok beta.."Mamta said with a smile.,"You go and change..I would serve you dinner.."She spoke further moving towards the kitchen.

"No maa..I have already eaten with aadi..You go and rest.."He exclaimed loosing his tie.

He heard his mother's voice from kitchen.After a while,she appeared in the hall with a small plate of laddus in her hands..

"I would eat them in my room..You go to your room now and sleep maa.."Maan spoke taking the plate from her hands and literally pushing his mother in her room.

"Good night beta.."Mamta said caressing his cheek..

"Good night maa.."He replied..

Mamta was about to close the door of her room when she called him again to ask,"Maan..Geet did not call home today..Did she call you in the office???"

Her "name" acted like a catalyst to his "emotions" which had already burst out at adi's place in the form of words,however he had controlled his tears there.But now ,in the darkness of hall,despite his endless effort,his eyes got damp.."No maa..She did not call me.."He spoke trying to keep his voice straight.He had not talked to geet for last ten days as she had always called at the time when he wasn't home.

"Hmm..She must be busy.."Mamta surmised.."I hope she would call tomorrow."

"I also hope so,maa.."He spoke with a wan smile before wishing his mother "good night" once again.

He came to his bedroom which was den of beautiful moments he had spent with her. Everytime he was present in his bedroom, her memories used to attack him with more intensity.Tonight this intensity was touching its peak.Slight dampness in his eyes turned into prominent tears as he removed his shoes and threw his tie on the floor. His throat ached more and more as he tried to control his tears.He tried to make himself understand that he deserved this loneliness but still,somewhere in the small corner of his heart,he was hurt and mad at her for leaving him alone like this as well as not talking to him..This was the response of his " emotional irrationality" which is solely driven by "heart".

"May be adi was right..He needed to cry.."He thought entering the bathroom.He opened the shower knob as he stood under it with his clothes on.His tears started pouring out of his eyes as soon as water started drenching him..He cried bitterly as he bit his knuckles to stop his wails which were partly subdued by voice of water hitting the floor..

*****************************

Geet looked at the empty and dead silent street as she paid money to the driver.She and her parents had reached at her parental home at 11.30 pm.Her father had insisted her very much to spend the night there only but she did not admit. She even did not come out of the taxi and threw her parent's baggage out of it herself before hiring the same taxi to reach her laddu's house.She gave an amusing smile to watchman who was dozing at his chair near the entrance as she entered inside.She was about to press the door bell but then stopped herself as it would disturb maa's sleep.

"I should call laddu.." She mumbled bringing her cell phone out of her bag.Poor thing was switched off since last ten days.She dialed his number with excited fingers as soon as phone was switched on but he did not pick.

She kept on dialing the number again and again wondering whether he was taking revenge from her.To her bad luck there was no pipe attached to their bedroom otherwise she would have used that.She decided to call him for one last time.It would be good if he picked it this time otherwise he would be solely responsible for disturbing maa's sleep..

******************************

He felt light after shedding his bottled tears as he came out of the bathroom only in a towel around his waist .His eyes burned because of continuous crying but his heart was at little peace now.He sat on his bed while rubbing his wet hair.His gaze then went to plate of laddus kept on the bed.His appetite was lost long ago but still he picked one laddu from the plate and took a bite.His vibrating cell phone gained his attention after a while as he wondered about this late night caller.He could not believe his eyes when he saw the caller's name.It was "hemamalini"..He smiled and cried simultaneously as he took the call..Before his trembling tongue could say hello,he heard her urgent voice.."Laddu..I am at door..Come down and open it..I am waiting.." It took some time for him to process her words.He pinched his arm to make himself believe that he was not dreaming..Pain at the place where he had pinched himself as well as his hemamalini's voice asking him whether he was listening or not,made him realize that it wasn't any dream..

"I am coming geet.." He managed to speak as he ran downstairs barefoot and in a "towel" only...

His trembling fingers fumbled with door knob.He took three minutes to open the door finally and there she was standing under the moonlight in a loose kurti and salwar..Her clothes were messy and hair were like bird's nest due to long journey still he found her beautiful enough to stare at her continuously..He might have kept looking at her if she had not literally jumped on him for a breath choking hug..Her eager arms encircled his neck with as much force as she could apply.She felt her feet being lifted off the floor as his strong arms went around her waist and pulled more close to him..

"I missed you so so so so much laddu..."She whispered with tears in her hazels as she showered kisses on his ear and temple while enjoying the comfort of his arms after so many days.

He did not answer her but tightened his hold around her while his lips dropped a kiss on her right shoulder.

They would have stayed in each other's arms for whole night if sudden appearance of light in maa's room had not disturbed them..

"Oh wow..Maa is up..I can meet her now.."Geet spoke in an excited voice pulling out from the hug..

Maan was brought back to his sense as he looked at himself.He was wearing only a "Towel" n the name of clothes..He certainly did not want his mother to witness him in this condition,hence he pulled geet from her arm who was ready to walk towards maa's room.

"You can't meet her now.."He ordered as he heard the click sound of door opening..His mother was about to come outside..With the speed of light,he closed the main door and pulled his wife under the dining table with himself...

Geet was surprised with his sudden actions.."Why are we playing Hide and seek??"She whispered as both of them saw his mother's legs moving towards the kitchen..

"I don't want her to see me in this semi naked state.."Maan explained..

It was then Geet looked at him,precisely at his body carefully for the first time.He had a perfect and drool worthy body adorned with biceps,triceps and abs..Despite her return from "origin of Ganges" which is considered as "epitome of purity",she could not control her censored thoughts as she shifted herself more close to him in the tiny space under the dining table. Fresh smell of his cologne filled her senses as she sniffed near his neck ardently..

Her husband spoke "most unromantic line"at such moment in the history of mankind ,with his entire attention fixed on his mother who was taking ages to drink water in the kitchen..His words were enough to break geet's trance..She was definitely disappointed with his lack of interest.."But it isn't his fault afterall..If he is fresh as flower,she is smelling of sweat mixed with petrol and dirt.."She thought pouting her lips..

"Why did you run down in such state laddu???You should have wear your clothes atleast.."She exclaimed after some time..

"Because I was dying to meet you.." He answered looking in her eyes..

His words broke all her control..She did not care how bad she was looking or smelling as she pulled him towards her and placed her lips on his for a kiss. He took some time to respond but very soon their naive lips were kissing each other passionately under the dining table..

Geet's first proper kiss made her learn the new meaning of word "Passion".It meant"keep doing something even if you feel out of breath." May be she had not chased her dream of joining navy with this kind of passion..she thought.

They continued to kiss till their lungs felt desperate need of air.. Maan kissed her fore head as he broke the liplock..

"Laddu..You actually taste like a "laddu"..Geet spoke in a surprised voice licking her lips..

Maan gave a true smile after almost ten day hugging geet close to his heart..Finally his "child wife" was back to him..
