PART 6
Stupid Idiot Selfish. Geet was using all possible descent profanities to curse herself. Maan hasn't eaten anything for like half a century and she was so careless about it.
" i ll drive us home. I guess i have some frozen pizza or may be flakes " she said
Maan didn't understand but he nodded. He knew she was talking to him. They went straight to Geet's house. She decided to teach him unbuckling seat belt and open the door.
" deko yeh thingy hain na " she pointed to the handle. He looked curiously
( see this thing )
" pull i mean keecho " she said.
Maan was about to use all his strength when she stopped him.
" ruko... aram se ... mere paas sirf ek car hai " she said giving him warning look. Maan nodded apologetically.
( wait... slowly... i have only one car )
He slowly pulled it and the door opened. Maan's eyes glowed with joy and surprise.
" ab mein bhi jadoo kar sakta hoon " he exclaimed
( i can do magic as well )
" yeah right " Geet rolled her eyes.
Geet now went to his side and leaned slowly making sure not to touch him. He talks about all that 'stay away from me' stuffs. She understands that it is his culture. Well it is our culture that we have forgotten long time ago but her ego is hurt every time he reacts that way. Let's face it she is a girl and her feminine feelings do hurt who cares if he is some 19th century senathipathi.
" ab isse dabao" she pointed at the seat belt release button.
( now press this)
He followed and he was released from the thing that was suffocating him to death.
" as simple as that " she grinned.
Then she taught him to close the door and they both headed into her house. As always Geet walked to the fridge and grabbed the water bottle. Relishing water as heavenly drink she smiled seeing Maan who was looking at her weirdly. Why wouldn't he? She completed half the bottle but most of it was on her shirt. He wonders if she was drinking or bathing. Geet is impatient and clumsy when it comes to drinking water. She always ends up spilling some on her dress.
" yeh lo" she handed him the bottle
( have it)
" nahi. Yeh jhuta hai " he said uncomfortably
( No. You tasted it)
" duh " Geet hasn't used that since her teenage.
Geet grabbed a glass from the table wiped it with tissue poured water and gave him.
" khush? " she said mockingly
( happy?)
" shukriya " he said gratefully
( thanks)
He looked so innocent that she neither wanted to be angry nor sarcastic. Geet looked around the kitchen and spotted spegatti sauce that she had made the day before. She could easily make spegatti then morover she loves that dish. It is better than noodles and pasta.
" main kuch banati hoon. Tum jakke aaram karo " Geet said looking at Maan.
( i ll cook something. You go and rest)
Maan walked to the living room and scanned around before crawling on the couch. He must be really tired Geet thought. Physically they didn't exhaust her luxurious car and AC made sure of it but she was sure he was mentally exhausted. Something like this was very sure to trouble him even in sleep so she switched on the AC and covered with blanket before heading to cooking.
After about half an hour Geet was wondering how to wake him up. She went near him and knelt down. She heard him mumble something like 'i ll save this country' she chuckled before sprinkling water on his face. If she places her hand on him he will freak out so she thought other means.
Maan woke with a jerk making Geet fall back. Geet looked at him accusingly and stood up rubbing her bum.
" maaf..." before he could complete she walked to the kitchen.
(sor...)
He followed her like a puppy and stood behind her.
" jaake baito" she said and he was about to sit on the floor when she pointed at the chair.
( sit down)
She placed a plate of spegatti. Maan shrieked looking at the plate and immediately jerked pushing the table. Unfortunately the plate fell down only after dumping the contents on Geet's head who was searching for fork in bottom counter.
" what the f**k ?!?! " she shouted feeling hot juicy sauce flowing down her head.
" KEEDAAA " Maan shouted.
( worm)
Then he began to blabber series of words in hindi that she didn't understand. Maan was searching for something which Geet had no clue of as she was already annoyed with his little drama. Maan grinned victoriously when he found long stick. Geet was searching for tissues when she turned around wiping her forehead she saw Maan pointing a stick at her direction.
" main uss keeden ko mardoonga " he said aiming at her head
( i kill the worms )
Maan was about to hit her head when she ducked and ran to the other side.
" muje marvaoge kya ? " she questioned
( are you trying to kill me ?)
" Geet ji yeh keede dusht hai " he said
( this worms are dangerous )
" oh really!! Tum dusht ho " she said
( you are dangerous)
" par Geet ji..."
( but ...)
" chup bilkul chup " she said looking at him throwing daggers "neeche karo " she added
( shut up) ...( put it down)
Maan reluctantly dropped the stick and looked at Geet worriedly. Back in his time worms are considered as bad sign sent by people who do black magic. Geet didn't understand the seriousness and he was very worried for her.
" aap humare baat..." she gave him a glare that shut him
( listen to me...)
" tum yahan baito aur hilo mat " she pinted her finger at him warningly. He nodded helpless
( sit here and don't move)
Geet was really pissed. She directly went to take a quick shower to calm her. Initially she was hell angry but the droplets of water not only cooled her body but also mind. It finally occurred to her that spegatti is not an indian origin food and he wouldn't have tasted it. She cursed herself for being so foolish. And made a mental note to search the food preference of 19th century. Geet changed to the most decent dress she had not wanting to make him uncomfortable least did she know that shorts that reveal everything below your knees and lose top hanging off your shoulder is anything but descent to him.
Geet walked back to the kitchen and was shocked to find it clean. All the spilled food was packed together in a paper and utensils were washed. Of course he must have done it. Washing and cleaning are same irrespective of the century. She looked at him who was sitting at the same place his eyes fixed on the floor.
" maanvendra " she called him that made him to look up immediately.
The moment he looked up he regretted doing it. Her top was hanging of her one shoulder revealing the strap of her inner and he could barely look down at her. He immediately turned to the other side.
" kya hua? " she asked confused seeing him turning away. Technically she should be angry not the other way around.
( what happened?)
" aap khalijiye main jaata hoon " he said walking to the living room
( you can eat . i ll go )
Geet looked at his retreating figure confusedly. She caught an image of herself in the reflection glass of the kitchen. She knew this has something to do with her dress.
" what more i could cover? " she mumbled to herself.
She went to her room and wrapped her full length bath robe. Now nothing but her face was visible.
" ab teek hai?" she asked standing before Maan
( is it fine no?)
Maan smiled slyly. Geet picked her i-pad and googled about the food.
" mainly indian. I should probably order " Geet said. Obviously Maan didn't understand he was busy drooling at the pics of roti on the website.
Geet didn't have ingredients to make indian so she ordered for time being and decided to shop later. After exactly twenty minutes the food arrived. The door bell rang and Geet removed the robe before going to collect it. Maan could be the only man who thinks bath robe is descent she can't imagine walking in a bath robe before any other man and let him imagine what she had been doing before.
" rukiye " she heard Maan call behind her
( stop)
" aap aise bahar nahi jaasakte " he said sternly eyes fixed on the wall piece
( you can't go out wearing this )
Great now he has problem with her dress even if he is not gonna see her.
" main le aata hoon " he said
( i ll get it)
Geet rolled her eyes. She placed 500 rupees note in his hand.
" ye uss ladke ko do phir woh jo dega lee aao. Aur haan ander aake darwaza bandh karlo " she instructed
( give this to the boy out there and collect whatever he gives. Close the door once you come in)
Maan followed her instructions perfectly and came back with a cover that contained Rotis and curry. She served him that and helped herself with spagetti that she had saved for herself in the stove. A satisfying smile spread on Maan while eating and Geet couldn't take his eyes off him. They both were happy but reason unknown.

PRECAP :
Her tears weakened his heart and not being able to help her angered him. Unconsciously his one hand held her bleeding hand and other went around her supporting her head.
