Part 27
The silence that followed , calmness as painful as an empty void. Everything just vanished as though never existed, even though it is imprinted deep with in. She failed to express the storm within & he failed to read the silence.
He bent down & lifted her shivering leg not knowing why her legs wobbled. She looked at him puzzled.. her eyes searching her soul in him. Is it even possible she wondered. Several times she tried to shrug off the rising heart beat. He settled her on the back seat, turned on the ignition immediately turning the heating next. He reached to her legs removed her shoes & checked her socks. She curled her feet as he reached to rub her feet. She hissed aap rahene dijiyen
he looked at her puzzled .. why she suddenly refereed to him as aap
she had million of questions in her mind.. biggest of all how could it be him.. but some part of her wanted to believe it. But there were still so many questions unanswered. How silly she could get!!! their family has every one.. Daadi. Dev. Meera.. maanav.. Her Maan was a family person... thats wat she believed. This guy is no where close to her Maan. ..
Mk caressed her ankle with the back of his hand. He was losing to her for sure.. she folded her legs & held them closer.. her resistance only drew him more.. his hands had the will of his own. He freed her from the jacket.. pulling her closer.. she was lost in her believe of not wanting to believe. Just the thought it could be him her resistance was weakening. He caressed her cheek she stared into his eyes still fighting a battle that she had lost even before it had began. He tucked a wet lock behind as shiver ran down his spine.
"tumaren saat na jaane kasien sukan miltha hain," he whispered in her ear, sliding his hand under her palm, lifting her left hand up, kissing them softly while sliding his between the gaps of hers. He slides closer to her, she was so warm..he felt relaxed. His head rested on her shoulder. His temple pressed against her cheek. He wanted to make her his in every way possible .. but his conscious was still not letting him!! those vows.. but her acceptance.. oh my my he was so drawn into her. He pulled away reluctantly.. she looked at him dazed at loss.. realizing how vulnerable she was.
Rest of their journey was silent. Geet remained very silent while Maan was felt so contented. He was sure going to make her his. He had never felt so much better. Geet sat looking out of the window trying very hard to relate him to her Maan.. she couldn't.
He dropped her in the hostel after placing a soft peck on her cheek. She still looked drawn.
He was so happy today.. like a burden was removed from his heart .. soul. He couldn't have felt better. not realizing where he placed it.
Geet was not at all in peace. She immediately booked her flight to india very next day. When she boarded the flight she got a call from Sam. Geet was little confused seeing the number..
sam ' hi Geet
Geet ' ji
sam ' this is sam
Geet was lost ' hi
sam ' thanks Geet
Geet was still confused ' ji?
Sam ' thanks .. thanks a lot for giving me back my Mk
Geet smiled weekly ' ji
Sam thanked her again & again before disconnecting the call.
Geet didn't know why her heart ached. In last 2 days she had felt so many emotions.. all new & unrecognized. She tried a lot to calm herself but her heart was no way in control. She couldn't tell her confusion to any one .. it didn't make sense. There were so many reasons he can't be Maan.. but then... only she knows how she managed to wait until she reached Delhi to home.
Daadi had just finished her evening pooja when Geet walked in with her luggage. Daadi paced & hugged her. It was more than 2&half years since she had seen Geet. Daadi kissed her lovingly.. caressed her cheek.. complaining she had lost wt. Geet just hugged her tightly scared. She didn't know how to tell Daadi or ask her. It would be like raising a false hope if it was not true. She held on to Daadi ..so long that Daadi began to get worried.
After almost an hr she made her way to the room & settled. Daadi came with milk for her.
Geet hid her tears & turned her back. Daadi immediately took her in arms ' kya huwa beta
Geet lips trembled ' wo Daadi.. wo..
Daadi caressed her ' haan beta
Geet - Daadi humari shaadi ki koi photos hain kya
she asked breaking down
Daadi choked in emotions.. this girl was still thinking of Maan.. it has been more than 4yrs now. How was she ever going to move on like this
Geet cried
Daadi didn't want her to see any of those pics. It will only bind her more to him. Thats why she didn't even let her know when the photographer had send in the wedding album. She had told Nakul to hide it from her then.
Daadi went to her cupboard & brought it to her. Daadi hesitated, Daadi thought.. may be at Pari's wedding she got upset or something. But this was not a solution.
Geet looked so broken.. her eyes looked as if she hasn't slept for few days. daadi was feeling so lost for words
Daadi ' rehna do na beta
Geet fluttered her lashes taking the album from her hand.
Daadi couldn't bare to see her like that.. she just left her alone with the album.
Geet touched the maroon golden album.. their name engraved together.. fresh layer of tears poured. The first pic was of the most beautiful bride.. & next to her was the most handsome him!!! Maan himself.. the crisp beard.. the red teeka that adored his forehead.. she shied for the first time in years.. it was him.. those eyes!! her eyes flooded!!!!
