Part 20
She couldn't even call her mama. Anything happens they would only listen to Maan. After they came back together her parents have only praises for him.
Couple of weeks had passed with her insecurity only building in her. It had become quiet evident with her gain in weight. She was getting extremely tired & her constant fear only made it worse. She began to wear more saree since she could hardly fit into her salwar kameez now.
She had visited dr & they confirmed the pregnancy. They did the normal tests & prescribed her the multivitamins.
Maan kept very disturbed watching her withdrawn like that. He tried to speak to her couple of times. He so much wanted to do things but he didn't know how was he supposed to do it. He never had thought life could get so complicated. Even a simple gesture of smiling would feel like a burden, but then how was not to smile when she sweetly smiled like everything was fine.. & he could so feel something was off.
That echoing of her laughter that filled the room, filled his heart has just become a dream now. The smile that touched her eyes faded long back even the glimpse of it has vanished now.
She looked so tired off late. What's with her wearing sarees he wondered.
He canceled all his meeting today. He didn't want to be disturbed.
He remembered seeing herself in the mirror & then getting suddenly conscious when he walked in.
She seemed excited to be close but then seemed she was uncomfortable too. His kashmakash only increased day by day.
His days seemed longer & night never ending with these kashmakash.
He had come home to his mom yet again taunting Geet for gaining weight. He looked at geet who was uncomfortably setting the saree around herself.
Geet's eyes welled up. She went up & cried in the washroom.
Maan just looked at his ma disappointed.
Maan ' can't u just leave her alone for once
he spoke bitterly
Pammi ' aab main ne kya kah diya?
maan just waited for her to come out of the wash room.
He came & sat near her on the bed ' wo ma
he sighed
what was he supposed to say.
She looked at him with hopeful eyes & all she found was that helplessness. her fear only increased.
She was not really really hurt with ma's words, but her hormone level was really taking a tole on her. She felt very fragile & broken easily.
It had become a habit at night ..she tossed restlessly feeling hungry. But the effort to go down to get something was so tiring. She cribbed again & went to the steps.
Maan simply followed worrying only to see her sitting down on the beginning of the step holding the bars.
He picked her up immediately ' geet kya huwa?
Geet ' mujhe chakar aa raha hain.. she spoke with her eyes closed holding him for support
Maan spoke worriedly ' phir kyun neechen ja rahin ho?
She settled uncomfortably tucking the pillow side ways ' mujhe bhook lagi hain
again tears threatened formed.
He got really worried & fumbled thinking of saying the right thing. He gulped his saliva ' main lekin avoon.
Geet ' mujhe bahoot bhook lagi hian
he heard say he reached the steps
he opened the fridge & stood their wondering wat to make for her. He made some sandwich, milk & fruits & still looked around if he could make anything else. He nicely put everything on the tray & went to the room. She was already a sleep. He shied putting the tray on the bedside table & slipped on his side of the bed.
Next day daadi suggested geet to stay back at home & rest.
Geet didn't argue. She did feel very very weak & tired. She slept through the day. Daadi finally confronted her in the evening. Geet blushed & showed her the reports.
Daadi ' aap ne hume phalen kyun nahi batya
geet just hugged her
daadi ' aap khuash ho na beta
geet excitedly nodded
daadi ' hume tho phelen se hi pata tha
geet shied hiding her face in her embrace
daadi gave her big bottle of laddu ' yeh humne aapke liyen banaya hain. Issen yenhi room main rahk lo
geets eyes filled up
just then pammi came & read the whole report. She was more than happy she was going to be a daadi soon but every thing vanished in thin air when she read the age of the fetus to be around 19 weeks almost 5months. Her temper just raised. She was angered like never before.
She just lost it completely her hands had no control .. she just began to slap geet
daadi held her hand
but pammi had crossed all level of sanity right now.
Paami ' merin beta ne teri sab galti maaf kar ke tujhe iss ghar main jagah di & u repay him like this
yeh kis ka paap hain terin pet main .. she looked at her disgustedly
geet immediately hid herself in the saree. She didn't want any of this to reach them.
Pammi just dragged her down & pushed her out of the door, slapping yet again.. this time only to be stopped by him.
Maan ' maa he roared
his voice was threatening enough but his entire being was questioned right now.
Pammi ventured to speak
but Maan stopped her at once ' yeh aap kya kar rahi hain
how could u
geet stood covering her one cheek frightened away from either of them. She was right now frightened for her baby.
Pammi ' tu jantha bhi hain iss ne kya kiya hain
Maan warned her at once to stop right there ' jo bhi ho, aapko koi haaq nahi banta uss pe haat utta ne ka
Maan reached to caress Geets cheek that had clear painful red imprints... she instantly stepped away scared terrified.
It couldn't have been worse than this for him. She was supposed confined in him, seek his embrace, feel protected with him.. but she seemed to fear him more than even his ma. She trembled backward holding herself together.
Daadi screamed horrified ' sambhal ke beta
geet looked worriedly here & there.. walking out.. collapsing right at the gate
Maan ran to pick her
pammi threatened ' she cannot come in this house
do u even realize she is pregnant with some one else child
Maan broke down.. she is pregnant.. his geet is pregnant.. they r going to be parent.
oh geet.. he cupped her face dearly that lay pale with those prominent red marks & fear. He just lifted her & rushed to the car.
Before settling behind the wheels he looked straight into his ma eyes ' its my baby ma
pammi ' u were not together 5 months ago
Maan hated to justify but not a question to be raised on her, not his geet.
Maan ' we never parted.
He could hear pammi's voice fading as he rushed to the hospital.
Precap
