PART 90

The next moment she felt his hand slip right away from her... and she just hated it but she herself was helpless. She picked up her shirt and went to change. When she got back in her night suit, she saw him stand by the window, looking out. He definitely didn't' look happy... she knew it. she slowly went and stood behind him, "maan...", she called out softly. He didn't reply.

"maan..listen to me...", she tried again but he didn't reply. She tried a fe w times more but he never responded. She knew he was hurt... for how long was he going to hold himself just for her? she felt the corners of her eyes burn. She hated herself...she hated every damn thing that came between her and maan. She just hugged him tight from the back, "maan... please give me some time...please. mein khud tumhare paas aaungi... please..."

[maan...please give me some time... I will go to you myself...]

She felt him stiffen with her words! She guessed it was going to take a little more time... she wanted to submit herself free from all kinds of chains and cages that held her back. She just held him for while, kissing his shoulder from time to time.

He sighed and turned to her after a while and picked her up in his arms. He walked to the bed and gently lowered her on it. he tucked her comfortably and slipped beside her. he was just too tired and hence dozed of immediately. She just kept on watching him sleep, still trying to relate to what stopped her.

She couldn't sleep the entire night...tossing and turning, thinking why she couldn't go ahead...why she let him down after he had been through so much just for her! gayathri's words had hurt her, agreed, but this was the first time that hit her real hard. She turned to face him and a tear rolled down her eyes. It was probably 1am and she was just looking at him so lovingly. She lifted her hand and gently caressed his cheek, as if trying to soothe his hurt heart. She knew they wanted each other...and nothing could ever make them go back but suddenly she felt herself incompetent...like it was she who lacked that trust perhaps. She felt like crying... trying to realize how much he'd have hurt. He knew about the baby but he never questioned her, he never accused her of hiding anything from him, rather he took in all her pain and brought her out of that darkness that was consuming her. she let her tear vanish into the pillow while she softly caressed his face, his eyes...he looked so much at peace but she knew what turmoil he was in. She just wished she had that confidence with her to go ahead but there was something unknown still caging her. she let her fingers trace his lips, feeling goose bumps all over her skin when she felt him hold her hand right over his lips. She looked at him in surprise when he opened his eyes and held her hand firm.

His gaze pierced into her...like questioning so many things yet not literally questioning anything. She blinked a couple of times trying to hide those tears when he placed her palm on his cheek and kept his over hers. His warmth engulfed her as she looked up to those eyes that had nothing but love for her.

"why didn't you say anything to gayathri aunty geet?", he asked her softly.

Her eyes widened in shock first, totally caught off guard but he didn't even avert his gaze from her. she felt numb...like time was frozen right there. Neither could she move not could she avert her gaze.

"bolo geet...tumne kuch kyun nahi kaha jab wo tumhe itna kuch keh rahi thi? I just couldn't see you so lost damn it... so lost of confidence...sab meri wajah se na?", he asked like a baby...that she just felt she'll cry right there.

[tell me geet... why didn't you tell her anything when she was saying so much... I just couldn't see you so lost damn it.. so lost of confidence... everything is just because of me na?]

She just couldn't help her tears, she just shook her head in denial and inched closer to him, holding his hand, "tumhari koi Galati nahi hain maan... I don't know why I couldn't say anything... you are no where to blame...there is something wrong with me..."

[its not your fault maan... I didn't know why I couldn't say anything... you are nowhere to blame...there is something wrong with me...]

"NO...there isn't...", he tried to defend her when she just went closer and hugged him. he hugged her tightly, trying to make her feel safe. He seriously needed to do something to bring that confidence back in her.

"geet...are you still scared?"

She said nothing...just held him closer and shook her head for a no. He took a deep breath in and placed her back on the bed and came on top of her. his one hand rested right over her head while the other caressed her cheek, "I love you a lot..."

She looked at him lost in his words... every time he said I love you... that gave her the courage to hold on. She looked at him lovingly and held his hand that hovered over her cheek. he just went with the flow... and lowered his lips to hers. She reacted instantly, yielding herself to him, wrapping her arms around him. he delved deeper and she just so easily let him in. She was unimaginably sweet and probably just the perfect for him. he loved the feel on her lips trying to match up to him... he absolutely loved the feel her tongue created in him. he would have lost himself completely had it not been for the words she had uttered. He left her and fell back on his side, breathing heavily. She turned to look at him...amazed and somewhere sad. Strangely she saw him calm...trying hard to hold himself.

"i..will never do anything without your own free will...", he just cleared her doubt, "sleep geet...its late..."

He laced his fingers with her, placed her hand over his heart and closed his eyes. She didn't know what to think now...this man is just so unpredictable...and the extent he could suppress himself just for her. she turned her face away and a tear slipped down.

---------------------------------------------

She came to her room to look for maan after seeing off the kids. He had some work on the other side of the city so nakul escorted the kids to school. Dadima was just too happy to see things going so smoothly. She asked geet to join her for breakfast. Geet looked around to realize he was in the washroom. She sighed and cleaned up the bed. She went to the cupboard to get his suit when she felt his cold hands slide around her waist, tickling her. she shrieked in response and jumped back.

"maan...that was not good...", she warned, seeing him laugh.

"come on geet... you got scared so easily...when did that happen?", he spoke naughtily, but she understood that hidden line.

"i...i didn't get scared okay...i was just startled..."

"yeah yeah...excuses...i understand!", he teased and stood by the cupboard fishing out his clothes. She stood there, all ready to get back on him when his alluring self caught her attention. He was wearing his tracks and a towel hung down his bare shoulders. Her entire attention suddenly got channeled towards him. the water droplets teased her to hell... proudly sliding down his hair down to his cheek... his neck...and then that sexy toned chest...she gulped hard with those thoughts!! Come to think of it...she had never ever inspected him this minutely. The way his muscles flexed when he moved his arms to get his shirt... the poise with which he stood...her mouth went dry just with that look. She couldn't stop herself from imagining how they would feel under her fingers... her entire being shook with just the thought of it...but then why she couldn't move ahead?

He looked at her realizing that sudden quietness around and saw her lost in him. he had probably never felt this proud to flaunt himself in front of anyone other than geet.. be it his achievements or he himself. He proudly turned towards her giving her a full view and paced ahead slowly. She didn't even realize his movements. He smiled seeing her breath go uneven with his approach but she never moved away. She was just too lost. He gently slid his arms around her waist and pulled her closer in a jerk. Her trance was still not broken as she looked at him so longingly, completely forgetting everything around.

"geet...", his husky voice just brought her back to reality and she felt so dazed, like coming out of a dream. She looked at him, totally lost and meekly replied, "umm..."

He gave her a naughty look, trying to suppress his laughter, "I know am irresistible to you but can you please stop gaping at me like that...its embarrassing..."

Her dazed self fell on the harsh ground of reality, realizing what he spoke. Her mouth flung open with his shameless comment and she tried to push him away, "grrr...maan leave me... you are just too much..."

He didn't let go, rather held her tighter, "arrey itni jaldi bhi kya hain... I know you wanted to touch me... am all yours baby..."

[arrey whats the hurry... I know you wanted to touch me... am all yours baby...]

"ewww...maan you are disgusting... lemme go..."

"yeah right disgusting..then why were you staring at me like that?"

"b...b... I was not okay..."

"you were..."

"was not!"

"you were!!!"

"was not..."

"geet...admit it... you were..."

"I was not and you are shameless...", she pushed him away and ran out, leaving him with loads of laughter.

Dadima was quite happy seeing that playfulness back in the house. Ahh she could just sit around the whole day and watch her children play, fight and cuddle up to each other. Maan was hurrying up with his food when geet banged the coffee mug right in front of him. dadima just rolled her eyes, very well knowing both must be up to irritating each other.

Maan looked at her and smirked, making her go all red and pink but she still managed to put up a brave face and shot him a glare. He just smiled to himself and walked out. This was totally bliss. He was just too glad to see her like the old Days...fighting with him, arguing with him and at the end of the day both of them getting back to each other. She walked behind him slowly as he neared the car. He turned back and saw her following him. he smiled and placed a kiss on her cheek, "kya baat hain?"

[whats the matter?]

"am going out shopping with roops today..."

"then whats the worry? Geet...go and enjoy...", he just handed her over his wallet and drove away. She smiled at his care and ran back inside to call roops.

-------------------------------------------------------

Geet met up with rashmi and other friends at roops' place. She was just too excited...it was like those old days, cracking joked and teasing roops like hell. sangeet was just a few days away and everyone was excited for the d-day. Geet and rashmi took roops for shopping and the first place they stopped, according to the list by roops' mom was the jewellery shop. They picked up those that roops had ordered.

"kya baat hain roops... finally you became a girl...prem ke liye bura lag raha hain yaar", rashmi teased.

[whats the matter roops...finally you became a girl...i pity prem..]

Geet and roops burst out laughing.

"yeah right... you should pity him you know... ab madam se shaadi ki hain ho nakhre bhi jhelne padenge..."

[yeah right... you should pity him you know... and since he dared marry me he had to bear all the tantrums]

Everyone burst out laughing as they headed for their next stoppage—the bridal lehenga. Roops sat amidst heaps and heaps of lehenga and saaris...but nothing seemed to amuse her.

"na...this is not good... no thats tacky...", and she just went on. Geet and rashmi went bonkers... and the store owner just wished the three were out in the next minute. It was already 3 hours and roops was not in a mood to selected anything. She had seen almost all the outfits...but madam couldn't find anything that pleased her heart. Rashmi was hell irritated.

"roops...select or leave. I just landed in india yesterday and I feel like going back right now. I have to visit my in-laws...do you realize that?"

"arrey tu baith na...waise bhi in-laws ke wahan jaa kar kya karegi?", roops teased.

[arrey you sit na..what will you do there?]

"shupt up yaar...am getting calls after calls... am leaving bye...", rashmi cried and turned to leave. Geet ran and held her, "oyeee don't get mad on this nautanki...you go for now I will finish this bridal wear stuff today so that you don't face problem tomorrow while shopping..."

"okay will see you in the evening...bye"

Rashmi finally smiled hearing and left hurriedly while roops dragged geet to another shop. she refused to buy anything after ransacking the entire shop. by 4pm, geet was down with a severe headache while roops was still not convinced. She could never find a perfect one that pleased her heart. Finally after a lot of pleads from geet, roops decided to let her have some food. They sat down in a cafe gorging on some sandwiches when geet got a call from home. The kids...she recalled. They must be waiting for her. she smiled and took the call but was shocked to hear namra's wail from the other side.

"dia...kya hua beta... why is namra crying?" she asked recognizing dia on the line.

"mamma... come home fast...na...namla friend...katti..."

"ohh give her the phone..."

Dia immediately ran to namra and wiped her tears. She gave her the phone while namra sobbed hearing her mamma.

"namra...don't cry...pehle stop crying and tell me what happened..."

But poor namra was sobbing so badly that she couldn't speak properly.

"ok ok papa is there na? Dadima? Be with them...i will come back as soon possible..."

She saw roops getting ready to ransack another shop. geet shot her a glare, "ENOUGH! NO MORE clothing shops... lets finish other stuffs...you can go alone tomorrow and get your dress..."

"geet...chal na... please..."

"am not going...lets finish with the gifts and stuff;s and get back home... am tired.."

Roops tried so hard to manaofy geet but geet shut her up and dragged her to other shops. They reached home by 7 and slumped on the couch...all tired and famished.

"geet...lets finish with my dress..."

"you idiot...you still have energy left for that?"

"hey guys...missed me? Geet you look so dead...", rashmi finally managed to get back on time.

"yeah...and the good news is roops is going shopping tomorrow alone..."

"kamini... you are so mean...", roops bit back.

"and you are so irritating..."

The girls sat down to chat with tea and pakode when maan called.

"geet...where are you?"

"umm...at roops place...hows namra?"

"she isn't telling me anything and I just came to get a file from office...she has started crying again..."

"umm I will get home then..."

"umm..be there will pick you up in 10 minutes..."

Geet was done with the call and looked at roops and rashmi eyeing her naughtily.

"why you people are giving me such kind of looks?"

"maan called? What did he say? He misses you already hmm..." and the train went on and on till geet was super irritated, "shut up you moron...you speak as if you don't speak to your husband at all..."

"yeah right husband... seriously yaar shaadi karke hum sab phans gaye..." rashmi spoke thoughtfully.

[yeah right husband.. we all got stuck in this web called marriage...]

"umm... roops is also going to step into one...", geet giggled.

"shut up yaar... I am actually bored... so many rituals... it takes so long... "

Geet immediately spoke back, "everything has a meaning roops..."

She was reminded of rashmi's wedding she had last attended and then gayathri's words... suddenly her smile seemed to vanish, being reminded of each and every vow the pandit had explained that night... something she started believing in from that night itself... and gayathri was right... she was never married! They signed those papers not from their own will...

No one noticed her calmness and roops just went on blabbering, "geet... you remember your dream wedding you had always thought of in college—eloping with you would-be and getting married secretly...thats what I call real fun..."

There was no reaction from geet. she was lost in so many emotions so many memories... she failed to realise her surroundings.

"geet...you there? Knock knock... still imagining you eloping with maan?"

"ahh if you ladies excuse me...i'd take my wife home..."

Everyone was surprised to see maan , standing there. He greeted everyone but his gaze never lef geet's lost face. He spoke to everyone and held geet's hand. She just got back reality and looked at him...totally dazed. He smiled at her and led her to the car. She sat in very quietly. He drove off...stealing glances at her from time to time. She didn't speak... she didn't smile but she seemed lost. He didn't disturb her...rather let her drown in her pool of thoughts.

The sight at home got her back to reality. Namra had been crying like anything since the moment she had come back home. Geet ran up to their room and saw her crying her eyes out. Dia sat there consoling, "he he is bad namla...forget it..."

The moment namra saw geet, she wailed louder and hugged her tightly.

"kya hua bacha...tell me...mamma ko nahi bologe?"

[what happened baby tell me... wont you tell your mamma...]

Namra just didn't say anything, rather she stuck with geet the whole time. Geet tried to make her understand that she should tell everything to her mamma but she was too upset to speak anything. Defeated, she looked at dia sternly which meant she had to spill the beans...and honestly. She stood in front of geet like an obedient kid and started, "mamma... you remember the boy who...who teased namla as namlanu-saurous kitanu magnet?"

"umm I do...and I still haven't forgotten that boy..."

"you know mamma...", dia blushed, confusing geet, "he...he and namla loved each other..."

Geet's mouth flung open!! LOVE???? At this age??? Before she could even gather herself dia continued, "and...and he bloke(broke) namla's heart today..."

Geet sat there numb...totally confused whether to laugh or get angry!!! Namra had a boyfriend? At this little age of 6?

"aur mamma... he he returned all gifts also...", dia forwarded cute pencils, heart shaped erasers, pink sharpeners, Mickey-mini mouse ruler... and those tiny tiny stuffs!!!

She didn't know what to speak. She asked dia to finish her dinner and sleep while she made namra understand that she'd take care of the guy the next day. She was just too tired to think anything. She got back to her room, took a cold shower and just hit the bed. Maan was totally unsure about her sudden change in behaviour. But he didn't tell her anything.

The next day geet remained quiet and aloof. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't stop herself from feeling low. Everything had a meaning...but did these rituals mean anything in her life? she just dropped the kids in school and asked namra to stay away from that guy. She helped roops with the stuffs and then got back to her office to catch up with the work. By the end of the day...she was totally drained out. She didn't speak to anyone...she just pretended to be fine around kids dadima and her friends and slept off even before maan back back home.

It was around 12am when she was awakened.

"geet...get up baby...we have to leave..."

"maan...please mazak nahi... am tired...", she was in no mood to listen to anything.

He placed a soft kiss on her lips, "sweetheart please... we have to leave get up..."

She just turned away and slept. After a few seconds she felt being lifted up in his arms. She was too tired to even open her eyes but she could feel his movements.

"maan... where are we going at this time of night?", she asked drowsily, resting her head comfortably on his shoulder.

'shh baby... we're eloping!!"
