PART 51

PLAY ME

It had been two weeks since maan and geet have been living in village. Life was like bliss for maan to see his mishty so much involved with the family, just like the way he had imagined, though he missed his own precious time with her. Whole day she would be running in the house doing something or the other, and with whole day's tiredness she would be straight to bed on night, her heavy lids not giving her support to keep them open.

But then he too got used to of her new hectic schedule and would somehow steal some moments with her here and there. It seemed so childish to find ways to call his wife in room to talk to her, hug her or just sit beside her listening her going on and on about her daily routine. She would keep telling him how she learned new things every day, let it be just learning how to use wood stove, or make some popular Punjabi dish or just learn to stitch something.

She was being so normal with the environment that he couldn't even distinguish her routine with the normal inhabitants of the area. "maan aap sun rhe ho na" geet said umpteenth time seeing him lost in something while she was the only one speaking in last half hour. "hmm" he replied lost in her, oh yes, if he loved her before even knowing the true Geet, he worshipped that girl in front of him now.

"jao aap to bore ho gye meri baato se na, mai chali maa ke paas unhe help karne" geet said jumping up from their small bed, but fell down on his chest due to the sudden pull by him on her hand. She kept her hand on his chest, trying to balance herself while his skin burned, muscles twitched at the places she touched. Geet remained ignorant to his physical responses toward her, as she pushed him back stabling herself and then giving him a cute glare for making her fall.

"accha baba baitho am listening" he said as he made her sit again on the original place hearing her chanting again.

Geet was going to sit with dadiji when maa called her. "maa aapne bulaya" geet asked entering savitri's room, where she was standing near the window watching the sun set. "ha bte ayiye, baithiye" savitri said sitting beside geet on the bed.

"geet aap ko dekhke hum itne khush the ki jaruri baat to karni hi bhul gye. Wo to accha hua aj apki dadi ne hme yaad dilaya warna aap dono wapas bhi chale jate aur humari baat hi nhi ho pati" "kya baat hai maa" asked geet confused with savitri's words.

"do you remember bte Diwali ke baad hamari baathui thi aapse kisi baat ke bare me" geet frozen on her place as she could get the flashback of her talk with savitri a week after Diwali, a talk the consequence of which she and he both had to bear for so many months.

"geet aapko yaad hai na" asked savitri as she looked at geet's shocked face. Geet nodded looking down. "aap dono ne kya socha us bare me. You guys have been married for a year now; you guys should have planned for a family till now, isn't it"

"wo'wo" geet stuttered as she tried to think for some reply but her mind had just stopped working. Savitri saw the hesitance in geet' eyes and asked, "did you even discussed with maan about that" savitri said as she felt angry because of geet's disrespect for her wish.

"jii' jii maa" geet said taken a bit with that anger in savitri's voice. "geet aapki jhuki nazar keh rhi hai ki aap jhuth bol rhi hai. Today's generation just think about themselves only, you don't care about your husband's wishes, your in law's wishes. Atleast you should have thought about your dadiji. It was her last wish to hear good news from you, if not see a heir in front of her eyes. If not her than for maan, he is going to be 27 now, don't you think its his age to be a parent now, to have his own kids and to play with them, instead of looking at other's young.

Geet felt her eyes burn with tears as she heard savitri scold her. How can she say to her that she can't give her a grandchild. She knew she will be facing this question sooner or later when she decided to come here, but then she thought may be if she impresses them, they will forget about this. But then some wishes aren't always fulfilled.

"I know you guys are just married over a year now, but you guys have to plan for your kid's future also. To ensure that he would be on his legs when you guys will need his support instead of you all supporting them. Agar hum logo ne bhi aap logo ki tarah yuh carelessness dikhayi hoti to aj maan itna safal nhi hota ki wo hme support kar ske at time of our need."

Tears flew down her eyes hearing the harshness in savitri's words. She couldn't understand what her fault in all this was. How will she explain savitri her stand, her limitations. She wiped off her tears with the back of her hand and ran away from the room, not even replying to the angry woman.

Maan stood shocked near the door as he heard his mother shouting on geet. He hadn't seen her angry ever, she was always sweet to him but then hearing her scolding geet wasn't what he liked. And when he heard something about their conversation during Diwali, he was hell shocked.

He clearly remembered he hadn't let geet talked with his mother during Diwali, then how come they talked. Deciding to clear everything, he went inside to talk with his mother. Savitri looked at maan and said, "I used to think geet as a nice girl, but she hid such a big decision from you. I didn't expected this ever from her."

"Maa tell me everything, mujhe kuch samaj nhi arha"

"maan after a week of Diwali, I called you and surprisingly for the first time she lifted the phone. We talked for a few minutes and then I told her about your dadi's deteriorating health and even told that her last wish is to hear good news of your child. But see, she didn't even discuss it with you, let alone decide something on the matter."

Maan stood rooted in his place as he tried to connect the broken links. He clearly remembered that morning after a week of Diwali when everything changed. How could he forget that dazed, hypnotized look of her eyes in the morning, when he felt her burning for him for the first time? And then her being so tensed at the breakfast table, as if she is worried about something and that's when she blurted out those words, asked him to marry someone. Even she herself looked shocked after speaking those words as if she herself hadn't thought about that. But then he was way too angry to comprehend anything with sensible mind, but now he could guess all that, but still he needed to be sure and only geet can tell him the truth.

He looked at savitri who was still fuming in anger and he just couldn't see his mishty to be blamed for no mistakes' of hers. "maa usne mujhe sab btaya tha" he said looking in eye of savitri while savitri stood baffled hearing maan. "par geet to'." "maa mai abi bacha nhi chahta, atleast for next few years till I am well enough to support my family"

"par maan bte you are being stupid to wait"

"ma I have already planned everything and I don't want to think about all that now. Aapne faltu me hi us bechari ko suna diya, bina uski koi galti ke"

"par agar aisa tha to why didn't she said that to me when I asked"

"she doesn't wanted you to feel wrong for me, who nhi chahti thi ki aap ye samjhe ki mai aapki baat nhi suntan, sirf isliye"

"oh", savitri felt bad for shouting on geet for no fault of hers, but then how will she know that geet wasn't at fault if she wont tell her.

Maan went to terrace only to find geet slumped down in a corner, her head placed on her folded knees as she sobbed loudly. His heart bled with the fact that she is in pain, and the pain intensified with the thought that he didn't trusted her when he should have been confident on their relation atleast. He just wanted to take her in his embrace and kiss and calm her down.

But he just don't wanted her to feel the guilt of denying him of the family which he could have had at the moment if he would have married someone else. Thinking of something, he step back a little and started calling her name and then went on the terrace giving her enough time to sober herself up.

As geet heard him calling her and his loud steps, she immediately stood up wiping off her tears with her dupatta, trying to control her feelings to not spill them to him, knowing how well he could read her. He came and his eyes fell on her red eyes, her face completely smudged with mascara. He came and stood beside her pretending to be hurt and angry.

"kya hua" she asked, as she tried to make her voice sound normal, but still it cracked up a little in the end. Maan just showed himself to be far more immersed in his pain, to concentrate on her heavy voice. "I just don't understand ma" he said trying to speak as if highly frustrated. "kyu kya hua" geet asked worried as she prayed god side by side that he shouldn't had known about that call.

"abhi few minutes back she called me and said she want me to be a father, tum hi btao abi mai itna young hot and handsome hu, do I look someone like a father." Geet looked at him with a look as if he is talking in greek and latin, not at all understanding his words.

Maan saw the look on her face and said, "jokes apart, but I really don't want a family at this stage, I don't feel myself ready about all this, but maa ko kaun samajae" "aap ko baby nhi chahiye" geet asked with a bright gleam in her eyes. He could somewhat guess that his thoughts were right about that marriage issue with the happiness in her eyes, but he will still talk to her after she calms down.

"sachii nhi chahiye" she again asked feeling unsecured. "sach bolu" he asked looking in her eyes which were waiting for his answer in anticipation. "yes I do want a baby, but not now. At present my career has more importance for me, tum to janti ho mera busy schedule. I would want to be settled fully before thinking about a kid, abhi nhi, not for another 3-4 years"

She was so happy and relieved hearing him that she couldn't help but jump on him, hugging him by his neck, as he supported her back keeping her close with him. She stayed with him as she let go off her pent up feelings, those months when she had waited for him to hear her side of explanation, yet she felt scared of how to tell him, how to explain her dilemma without making him angry.

At night when he went in their room, he found geet already there. He had noticed that whole evening his mother hadn't talked to both of them, may be she is still angry with the fact that they aren't considering about kid. He too didn't explained himself much as he was thinking of telling the truth of their relation to her, probably it would be best if they don't let her dream more about their future, which he wasn't seeing atleast at present.

He saw geet sitting on the bed, her mind still revolving around the issue. He went and laid on the bed keeping his head on her lap, making her startled. "kya soch rhi ho" he asked seeing her so lost. "just thinking about my stupidness" "matlab" "kuch nhi" she said looking away.

After sometime she said, "aap bhut acche ho"

"mujhe pata hai" he replied cheekily, as he kept her hand on his hair, signaling her to thread them. She slow started doing so and then said, "dii used to say to me that ishaan jiju is desperate for baby. Mujhe laga aap unse bhi bade ho, to aapko bhi.."

"ki mujhe bhi baby chahiye ha"

"aapko kaise pata"

"tum nhi btaogi to mujhe nhi pata chalega kya"

"aap ko sab pta hai" she asked shocked.

He simply nodded making her sob again. "I don't want you to cry, I just want to hear each and everything now from your mouth, without hiding anything this time" he said as he immediately got up and took her in his embrace, as he place her head on his chest, while he hand wrapped around her waist, while another patted her cheek making her calm down.

"un dino dii was constantly complaining me about her mother in law asking for a child and even ishaan jiju wanted that. She was quiet tensed about all that. Then on Diwali, when maa called that day and said ki she want a kid, I thought you will want that too as you had said that aapke liye maa ki khushi har chiz se badhkar hai, maine socha aap bi unka sath doge. I didn't knew kya hua, but us din se pehle tak I wanted myself that you settle with someone of your age, but pata nhi us din mujhe ye baat bilkul acchi nhi lagi" she lifted her head as she confessed her truth looking him in his eye.

He just hugged her more tightly as she held his collar in her fist, "mujhe nhi pata ki I was wrong or right, but mujhe nhi accha laga wo baat. Aur bas then dii again called in the morning saying she had fight with jij last night due to the baby issue again and bas yhi sbi bato se I got so confused. Aur phir at the breakfast table I was about to say that maa called but instead say ki you marry someone as only that way you could have a child. Sachii maan maine wo sirf galti se bola, aur koi baat nhi thi. And then your anger just scared me so much mujhe kuch samaj nhi aya mai kya karu, aur phir apne to mujhe dekhne se bi mana kar diya."

Hie eyes filled too as he remembered his own behavior toward her after that day. "you stopped talking to me, you stopped replying my message. Mujhe laga if I will tell you that I said that because of maa's wish, khi aap aur gussa na ho jao"

He hugged her tightly as she sobbed in his arms, even his own tears slipped out not understanding whether he should be happy that she cared for him so much or be angry on her for using her useless brain.

"tum apne us dimaag ka use hi kyu karti ho when it doesn't do anything except creating locha in your brain" he said as he wiped off her tears. "maan" she moaned pouting her lips as she wiped off her tears on his shirt. "I just don't wanted to angry you" she said after a while.

"you always say that and still end up doing that only"

"maine jaan ke nhi kiya"

"ha ha tum kabhi jaan ke kuch karti hi kha ho, acha ye btao what was all this being extra hard working bahu ha, itna kaam to tmne pure saal me nhi kia jitna yha kar rhi thi"

"dii said ki if you do what ever your mother in law wants, she will be impressed by you and wont get much angry on you. To maine socha ki agar mai'"

"you know what you need to do two things from now on' firstly stop thinking as its not your job and secondly stop taking advices from your dii. Tumhara dimaag kharab kar diya hai usne aaj kal" he said hitting on her head while she just keep wiping off her tears on his shirt, making it wet too.

"you are making fun of me" she cribbed while he just nodded in yes making her smile a bit.

"ab aap sach btao" she asked after she parted herself from him.

"kya???"

"don't you want kids too. Aap bas jhuth bol rhe the na terrace pe"

He sighed taking a long breath and said, "yes I want a kid, but abhi mere pass ek kid pehle se hi hai. Pehle wo badi ho jae, then I will think of another" she scrunched her nose in confusion.

"tum kisi bachi se kam ho kya, jab dekho koi na koi syapa pati rehti ho, ek pal mujhe shanti se nhi rehne deti aur tumhara sochna mere liye sabse bada problem hai" he said laughing off the topic while her mouth turned O shaped hearing him making so much fun of her.

"aap bhut bure ho, I hate you" she cribbed hitting on his chest while he just thought what will he do without her.

"dare you tried to hide anything again from me and dont even think of using your brain"

Mana thodhi nadan hai, par kabhi kabhi sabse samajhdar ban jati hai.

Mana thodi najuk hai, par phir bhi kato pe chalna janti hai.

Mana ki hmesha roti rehti hai, par phir bhi use hasna sikhati hai.

Mana thodi jhalli hai, par uske jindagi ko jine layak bhi whi banati hai.

awesome update

this baby thing was one of d main issue with married couple

everyone including husbands too start pressurizing girls for baby & don't even think is she ready or not. even in my house my bhabhi faced this thing(but at that time i was only in 10th so don't even had any time for others things than study)

maan is so understanding here towards geet. if some another person will be in his place he must have force himself over geet
