PART 23
*Maan's POV*
I woke early than ever in fact the new place wasn't that comfortable to sleep but seems like Geet enjoyed being back in her old room. Whole time when she was sleeping a smile was plastered in her lips. I could never get tired of looking at her. I can't believe i am lucky enough to have her in my life. Time was only 6 and i didn't want to disturb her sleep so i decided to take a walk in the garden alone enjoying morning sun.
The glorious sunny morning brought back the memories of times i spent with Geet and my morning never seemed so complete. Unexpectedly i spotted Aarav there. A invisible wall has been constructed between us since long time and none tried to break it. He nodded seeing me and i smiled walking towards him.
"good Morning " i said
" morning" he replied
The uncomfortable silence engulfed once more. I kept staring at the peculiar kind of flower pot that had same flowers of five different colors, a hybrid variety.
"That is Geet's favorite" i heard Aarav say
"can't be surprised, her taste is very different " i said
"can't deny that " he said giving me a sharp look and i very well knew he meant me.
I wasn't surprised. The way my relationship started with Geet anyone could be surprised with how we are now. I am not a ideal partner for her and even i realized that. But everything is destiny's game; we just have to go with the flow.
"Geet is sleeping " i said thinking he wants to know about her
" i know, her usual timing is 7.30 " he said
I looked at him. I shouldn't be surprised that he knew about her routine, but just the thought that someone else knows her better than me hurts the possessive man that is living inside me.
" I have known her all my life " he said " your arrival could hardly change it "
Aarav has never been the jealous type moreover he never loved Geet more than a friend. From what i have learned from Geet he played a major role in bringing us together. Then why sudden displeasure towards me?
We both were staring at each other when a voice that could cool us both down even in a heated up situation. Geet walked towards us in her loose baggy pants and T-shirt, hair still messed up after sleep and eyes a bit drowsy.
"What are you doing here ?" she asked no one in particular.
" just enjoying a bright morning " Aarav decided to answer.
Geet smiled at me as she stood between us and then looked at Aarav smiling.
"what?" he asked
"Did you remove those bushes from the corner?" she asked
"please Geet, don't start i have already told you it stinks " arav said making a disgusting face
"but that brings good luck" she said pouting
"cut the crap, i ve sold it " Aarav said
"mean " she hit his arm making him wince.
I just stood there looking at them argue. I have a very mixed feeling about their relationship that is probably Aarav is being distant from me. I still wonder what is the problem. He should grow up and accept that i am in her life now.
"So don't you want to go see aunty? She is being discharged today " Geet said
"its time? " Aarav asked
"we need to go fast " Geet ordered.
She then turned to me and looked at me before narrowing her eyebrows.
"Where is your slipper? Ufff Maan are you still a kid ? what if you are stuck by throne? " she asked
I looked down at me feet then looked up at her apologetically.
"You can be such a kid at times, why didn't you take your phone with you?" she asked
I just smiled seeing her fuzz over me. I like that she cares for me.
We both began to walk to the room when i noticed Aarav looking at us from distant and i clearly read the look that expressed his thoughts. Its all about priority, he didn't like sharing his friend with me who he thought can only care for him. he is just being a kid who gets possessive about his friend. I couldn't have misread the expression when i had seen the look thousand times on my own face years back.
"what are you thinking ?" Geet asked me
I looked at her. No wonder everyone wants a piece of her. I couldn't blame Aarav for thinking that i am stealing his friend from him. A boy can grow to a man but still the boy inside him stays alive. He is probably having the same feeling i felt when i was dropped off the park picnic trip years ago. The time when i cried for losing my only friend then.
" Maan" i was brought back from my thoughts.
"what are you thinking?" she asked in her concerned voice.
"was just thinking how lucky i am to get to see this look on your face every morning " i said smiling.
"charmer " she said playfully hitting my shoulder.
I was getting dressed standing in front of the mirror when Geet came and stood in front of me. She thought her petit figure at least six inches shorter than me could hide me from the mirror, how cute. I chuckled seeing her effort. Geet gave a sharp stare before she climbed on a small stool that made her taller than me and smirked victoriously.
"You win" i said
"i always win " she said raising her shoulder
" i don't want it any other way " i said
"how sweet " she said pulling my cheeks.
I smiled looking at her.
" Why are your eyes red ?" she asked suddenly
"what?"
"didn't you sleep at night?" she asked
" no Geet i ..."
" Maan did you have nightmares? Why didn't you wake me up ?" she asked concerned
" Geet relax " i said holding her shoulder. " i am fine. Its new place right so i felt really uncomfortable sleeping that is all "
"are you sure ?" she asked
"yes " i said
She bent down and kissed my forehead.

Meeting Aarav's mother wasn't as dramatic as i expected as Aarav's father has already told her about me and Geet. Though she was disappointed initially she at last was happy for Geet. They realized Geet and Aarav had never the kind of love for marriage and so it is better that they are happy alone.
"i can't believe you are going to be a mother " aunty said looking at Geet's bump.
Geet carefully caressed the bump and smiled at her.
"you look prettier than ever probably its a girl " aunty said
Geet looked at me and smiled teasingly.i chuckled. God bless this girl who brought so much happiness in my life.

It was time for us to go back to delhi and Geet looked sad. But i was happy that we are going back to our small world where we have only each other and our baby. Can't help the selfish one inside me.
"Come to meet me often " Geet said thems
"we are flying to delhi every week " uncle said patting her cheeks.
I smiled at the cute bond she shared with Aarav's parents.
As we sat in the flight Geet smiled at me.
"What?" i asked
I leaned to peck my cheeks. I raised my eyebrows uestioningly.
"just felt like it " she said
I nodded chuckling.
" i am happy Maan. Everything is smooth in our life" she said
"everything" i said
" Maan can i ask you something ?" she asked
"anything " i said
"where are your parents?" she asked
My expression changed all of a sudden and my heart missed a beat.
