At night they boarded the train to Punjab, where they will rest for 2-3 hrs and then will take a taxi to take them to their village.
They checked in a nearby hotel for few hours to take rest and fill themselves up for long road journey ahead. Maan went out to order for food and book a taxi for them, while geet decided to call savitri to inform about their trip.
Savitri was quite excited when maan told her yesterday that geet had returned back and is coming with him to village. Savitri was already waiting at post office, the only place where a working telephone is present in the entire village.
"maa we had reached Amritsar, we will leave from here in two hours and may be my 8 in evening we will reach" informed geet as savitri received call. "that's great bte, I am quite happy that you too accompanied him, after all it had been a year since I saw you too and your grandmother in law is happy that she could see you in her last days. Maan must have told you that dadi isn't keeping that well since last week, that's why he planned to visit us so quickly,"
"oh, maa you don't worry we both will take care of her in this tough time" geet said supporting her mother in law.
"bte waise do you have any sari with you??? Actually I wanted your dadiji to see you like a newly married woman, she would be happy to see you that way." Said savitri happily.
"sari!!!" geet asked shocked. She hadn't ever worn one in her lifetime. She do know how to tie it, but never had worn it publically nor she have one with herself at present.
Savitri sensed the discomfort in geet's voice and said, "its ok bte if you don't have one. Mujhe bhi tumhe pehle batana tha, aise last moment pe arrangement kha se hoga. Koi na rehne do" said savitri but geet recalled suhana's words that if you didn't follow MIL's words, you are gone and how will she impress dadiji now.
She scratched her head as she tried to find some solution and said, "nhi nhi ma, you don't worry. I will try to arrange for one and will surely impress dadiji too" "geet maan ko wha paresham mat karna saree ke liye, its ok if you don't come in one. Ma would be impressed by you anyway, even if you are in one or not" said savitri strictly, not wanting her son to get worried in an unknown city for a sari.
Geet twisted her lips and agreed, after all di was right, unki mano to bhi mushkil na mano to bhi mushkil, ab kya karu mai, she thought.
Maan came after an hour and saw geet pacing worriedly in room. "I asked you to rest na, after all rest of the journey would be more tiresome" he said folding his hands on his chest.
"maan is there any mall near by" asked geet hesitantly. "ab kya chahiye tumhe" he asked. "Actually I need a sari, wo dadiji ko impress karne ke liye. Maa said she will like me in a sari" geet said pouting as she looked at the churidar she was wearing and made a face.
"dadi will like you in this too geet, you are looking very pretty in this suit" he said as he laid down on bed letting his legs hang down the bed. Geet came and sat near his leg as she pushed him at the calf, "aapko nhi pata how difficult it is to impress saas, dii told me what to do and not, aap btao na can we arrange sari now" she looked at him making a puppy face which always melt him.
"I should have known ki suhana is the main culprit behind her brain wash' usko to main baad me dekhta hu" he muttered as he stood up and took out his suitcase from cupboard.
Geet looked at him intensely as he shuffled in his bag between his clothes and took out a plastic packet. He searched in it and took out a gift wrapped pack and gave it to her, not before taking out a note stuck on it.
Geet looked at the gift and opened it only to find a red sequined saree with black shimmering border. It was really a beautiful piece and she got really excited seeing it, that for a minute she even forgot a purpose for the saree.
But then her mind struck and she wondered to him does it belong originally and she looked at him incredously. "for whom you purchased that??" she asked looking at the saree with an unknown expression. "how does it matter geet, your wish got fulfilled now get ready and impress whoever you want to" he said trying to act ignorant and was about to go out of a room, when suddenly geet pulled his palm snatching the note from his hand and looked at the name on it.
"happy birthday mishty" was written on it with a heart made next to it and was signed by maan's name. Maan was trying to stop her but then she had already read it and looked at the saree with a forlorn expression and remembered sam's words back that day when she told her about maan's mishty. She immediately took the saree box and handed it to him and said, "I don't like to use things that are not my own."
He could feel her voice croak and immediately held her by hand before she could run away in bathroom like always. "ye kya keh rhi ho???" he asked as he held her tightly, trying to control her struggle. She didn't reply and he twisted her hand at back and held her both hands in his one hand, while his other hand held her chin, making her look at him in eye.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she tried to look away from him, but he was adamant to not let her go away. "ro kyu rhi ho ab??" he said as he wiped her salty tears with his thumb pad. "kuch nhi hua" she said looking away but he kept his hold tight on her.
"btaogi nhi to how will i know, saree nhi achi lagi. Dusri chahiye??" he asked as he again wiped off the new layer of tear. He nodded her head in no, still trying to control her choked throat, as a burning feel captured her heart. The thought of his marriage being fixed with some mishty occupied her mind, as she wondered did her alliance come in between their relation.
"geet bolo nhi to mai tumhe wapas mumbai bhej dunga and you arent coming with me, sochlo" he warned but she still remained silent and then a while later said, "nhi jana mujhe khi, i want to go back to my home" he got really serious now. What had happened in past minute that she even refused for going village, note me aisa kya tha jo she got so upset.
"aap apni mishty ko le jao, mujhe khi nhi jana apke sath" she said after a while as a cry released her throat. He hugged her tightly as some realization dawned on him, he never called her mishty ever, that's why she got upset and not because of the gift. "Is she kind of jealous from herself, or it's just a dislike because of the gift" he wondered and somewhat thought to play along and take out the truth from her.
"ha usko bhi le jaunga, par tum to chalo" he said, as he tried to control his laugh, but his words really rubbed the wrong side of her. She looked at him with anger, as she pushed him away and went in washroom. He couldn't help as he laughed out loud holding his stomach. Geet could hear his laugh from outside as tears flew from her eyes, "he is making fun of me, par inhe kya fark padta hai" she thought and washed her face with cold water.
Maan smirked as he thought of a plan and took out his cell and pretended to make a call. "ha mishty i will reach my village around night, you take care of yourself" he said out aloud, as his eyes were fixed on the door, waiting for that sherni geet to come in action.
Geet on the other side heard his talk and thought, see he doesn't even care for me. Yha mujhe manane ke bajaye has has ke us mishty se baat kar rhe hai, kamini kahinki pata nhi kya jadu kar rakha hai inpe, and looked at her babaji for help. "ha ha mishty, i will take care of myself, but you too take care, you know na i dont like it when you arent happy" he said making geet fume more, mai yha itni sad hu, uski koi fikr nhi, bas ye khush rhe aur inki mishty.
"ha sorry baba, i had to give that gift of yours to geet, ab she was really bugging me for one at the last moment. I will get you a new one after i will come back" he said and the moment those words escaped his lips, he heard a click of the door opening and she was in front of him snatching his cell and said in it, "no need, you take back your saree and our maan too. I don't need anyone of them" she said and tapped the call end button and realized it wasn't on itself and looked at maan confused.
"i caught you" he said smirking as he held her tightly by waist making sure she doesn't go away this time. "you were making fun of me" she said after realizing the prank and gave him a glare. "nope, meri itni himmat ki tumhara mazak banao, geet ke babaji mai kabhi aisa kar sakta hu kya" he said looking up like her.
"aap hato, jao aur apni mishty ko hug karo, aur saree bhi le jao" she said trying to remove his firm hold from her waist, but she failed. "mai apni mishty ko hi to hug kar rha hu" he said hugging her more tigthtly. "matlab" she asked him incredulously. "tum ho meri mishty. I named you mishty at the time of our marriage, as i thought you are as sweet as that dish, but tum to meri tikhi churi nikli" he said pinching her nose.
Her eyes turned wide as she looked at him shocked and the words from past started making sense, him being diwaana for his mishty, his excitement and then the heartbreak due to which he stopped talking about her. "i am again sorry for all that" she said looking down but he immediately said, "i like my sherni more than that mishty. My sherni is bold and smart enough to share everything with me, not like mishty who just knows to run away and hide in bathroom, crying her eyes out" he said as he rubbed her red eyes with his thumb pad.
She turned red hearing his words, as her veins warmed up pumping more blood from neck to her cheek. He loved that reddish glow on her; let it be in anger or shyness. "chalo give me a proper hug warna mai chala mishty ke pass" he said pulling her to him making her hug him back as she placed her cheek on his chest.
"aapko maza ata hai na mujhe pareshan karne me" she said after a while, while he just rubbed his rough cheek on her forehead, making his pricking stubble rub her forehead. "kya karu mai, jab tumne mujhse mazak karna band kar diya hai" he said as he remembered the days she used to just irritate him yet care for him, but now she just cries most of the time, as if the separation has instilled some fear in her heart.
"aisa nhi hai" she said but he didnt replied, as he decided to bring back his sherni again. But then geet again remembered it was a birthday gift and realized he bought that on her birthday. She freed herself and looked ta him and said, "you bought it for my birthday, but never gave me. Not even wished me. But how do you know about it, i never told you about it" she asked surprised.
"i came to know about your birthday when i saw your class 10th result, that has birthday mentioned on it na and then suhana reminded me too later." he replied. "but why saree, you always bought jeans for my me na, aaphi ne kha tha ki i should wear those dresses as it suit my age.
"bas mera man tha tumhe saree me dekhne ka, so kharid li"
"phir dii kyu nhi"
"mai naraz tha" he said looking away.
"aisi bhi kya narazgi." she said as she again picked up the saree and said, "its very beautiful, apki pasand bahut acchi hai. Do you purchased matching blouse and underskirt too, warna how will I wear it"
"i dont know geet. I had asked them to pack entire things required, maine kha tha small size dede. I dont know if it will fit you or not" he said as he looked into the box for the things. He took out te blouse and underskirt and saree and left the room for her to get ready.
After a while he came back and saw her still struggling in the saree. She had somehow wrapped it on her body, but she was having problem in pinning them up as one or the other plate would always remain out.
He got stunned looking at the female beauty in front of him. Her bare waist and back gave him goose bumps. Her chest wasn't covered when he entered. But as she felt the door movement, she immediately covered her chest with pallu, still his eyes caught a little glimpse of that tight blouse which hugged her bosoms tightly.
As she saw him entering she immediately tried to cover her front with the saree pallu, but in the huff of covering front, she left her bottom plates, which immediately fell off on ground probably the 5th time now due to the shimmery cloth on the border.
He immediately turned around, facing his back to her as he immediately hastened the bolt of the door. He placed his forehead on the door frame as he tried to forget the sensual view he got of her body today. He knew it was all wrong, wrong till she understand the real meaning of the relation and accept it that way fully, wrong till she is fully grown up and take the real closeness of the relationship.
He could sense her struggle with the saree and his insides just wanted to pull that off from her. "maan calm down, it will get ok. Take a deep breath, yes 1, 2 3...10" he counted his breaths to calm his mind and then heard her slight voice, "will you please help me in pinning it properly."
She wanted to say it out loud, but was too shy to speak loudly. She hadn't ever stood in front of a male in this way, half of the body bare, well at least for her it felt to be half of the body and then the remaining saree wasn't trying properly too. It felt so uncomfortable for her to ask him to help in getting dressed up, but then she can't just roam half dress and doesn't want any hotel staff to see her like this, let it be even female one too.
"please" she again said, a little louder now when he didn't moved even a bit. He held the handle tightly as he nodded and finally praying to god to give him strength to go through it, he moved toward her.
He stood behind her, as she passed him a safety pin and held pallu on place, and told her by finger where to pin it. His arm brushed her half bare back, when he moved his hand to place the pin in proper place. He lifted her blouse at neck by a finger and felt the strap of her inner and immediately pulled back his finger.
"maan jaldi kariye na" geet said as her hand pain due to holding the pallu since last five minutes in the same place. "umm" he said as he came back from his reverie and immediately pinned her pallu without feeling anything.
Then he waited for her turning around while she again made the bottom plates of the saree. "aap yha baith ke plates hold kariye so that they are straight", she said pointing in front of her. He nodded and sat down on his one knee, holding the plates for her. Her bare waist was in direct view of his eyes, and since she had slid off her pallu in side, to tuck in the plates, he could have the proper view of the entire waist. Her belly button was visible too, which made him drink his saliva, probably she is going to be death of him today.
As soon as she tucked in her plates, he immediately picked them from up only, trying to reduce the touches as much as possible. He was a man and if she kept teasing him like this, he was sure to do something morally wrong.
After ensuring herself that she had tucked in enough pins to secure the plates for the journey at least, she turned around looking in the mirror and then looked at him, asking, "how am I looking"
Well wasn't it obvious from his eyes, not once his eyes moved from her. He used to believe she is as pretty as angel, but today he had realized her true beauty, and mind you, it wasn't the physical beauty that attracted him most, it's the ethereal beauty of her heart and innocence that pleases him the most.
"boliye na" she asked as she again turned around 360 degrees checking her saree.
"Beautiful" his lips confessed without any effort.
"sachiii" she asked looking at him in excitement as she felt her hard work finally gave some fruit.
Her squeal brought his back on this material earth as he held her from hand and turned her around, so she faces the mirror and said, "bhut pyari lag rhi ho, par phir bhi kuch kami hai"
"kya" she asked with a confused look. "wait" he said and again opened his bag taking out another packed box. Geet knew that it was also for her birthday and asked, "aap sare gifts yha leke kyu aye"
"I thought I will give them when I will find perfect time, but mujhe kya pata tha I won't have to do much" he said and opened the box taking out matching red ruby earings and placed them in her hand. She looked at them in wonder and immediately started wearing them while he stood next to her watching her.
She suddenly realized something and asked, "I forgot to ask about your birthday and apne bhi nhi btaya. Aapka birthday kab hota hai"
"umm mo 20th july" he said, making geet shocked. "why didn't you told me before. We were in Mumbai then na, and I would have celebrated it with you. Very bad" geet said punching his chest and looked away pouting, as she straightened her tangled tendrils.
"kya fark padta hai batane se" he said making her stand still as she said, "aapko nhi padta shayad, but mujhe padta hai" she looked away in anger while he shook his head at her nakhre.
"geet aj ke liye kafi gussa ho li tum , baki drama ab kal" he said while she made her mouth O shaped and said, "job hi chahe kehlo, but still I don't like it."
"geet we are getting late, chalo taxi must be waiting for us downstairs" he said dismissing the topic, as he again repacked the bags and the clothes they changed and moved toward the gates.
Geet knew something is still missing but couldn't point her finger to it. The car started and moved inside the city, from where it will take a route to the village located in east side of the city.
The car passed through the city markets and geet realized her folly as she realized everything she did would have gone waste and asked the driver to stop the car, "what happened geet" asked maan shocked with the sudden interruption.
"maan aj to meri band bajni thi" she said as she looked at the side stalls and then looking at him said, "wo maa once chided me on the very first day when I forgot to wear the marriage symbols and today too history would have repeated itself if I hadn't seen that shop, she pointed at the bangle store on the other side of the road.
"I would be needing bangles and bindis and.. and' ha vermillion too" geet counted on her fingers as she tried to remember the things for which she was scolded on the very first day. "geet" maan growled not knowing whether to feel happy because of her being ready as Mrs. Maan Khurana or frustrated because none of it she did because she wanted herself.
He took out his wallet and had handed her, "go and empty it, aj tum mujhe pakka kangal kar dogi" he said looking away.
"chalo na hum dono mil ke apko kangal karte hai" she said grinning sheepishly, trying to lighten his mood.
Shaking his head at her nautanki, he too followed her and purchased few matching bangles and small diamond bindis, along with a box of vermillion. Sitting back in the car, she applied the bindi and wore some red bangle. Then pinching some vermillion powder in her fingers, she applied it, but some of it fell on her nose, while half of it smeared on her forehead due to sudden wind.
"maan dekho na kya ho gya" geet said looking at her forehead in mirror.
He chuckled looking her pout and with his finger wiped off the excess vermillion, placing some of it in her forehead too, "you deserve that for irritating me to hell" he said after sitting back in his place.
