MILAN- The Final Destination
PART- 125
I got so many pyaare-pyaare comments this time. Luv u so so much😳
They walked together that evening through the corridor of Doctor Neeraj's private clinic. She clutched onto his hand like a small girl, her heart beating fast. There won't be a time when she would get used to these checkups, hospitals n nurses. Outside the door Maan smiled at her. You are fine Geet n our baby would take birth all healthy n awesome just like his father. He grinned; a strong pillar for her strength.
The check up was similar to the previous time they had come. First Dr. Neeraj talked to Geet alone in his cabin n then sent her with the nurse for tests. Only the talk had lasted for more than that of their last visit and every second that Maan spent outside the cabin waiting was devoted to extreme anxiety. But man when she had come out of the cabin there was that breathtaking smile on her face that reached her eyes n his heart and then she had looked down at her tummy while walking away with the nurse.
Now as Maan sat before Dr. Neeraj alone in cabin the other man's smile unnerved him. It was like he could see through him n knew everything. Gosh! The psychiatrist was creepy as hell.
Is she sleeping alright? Neeraj asked casually.
Yes. Why?
She seemed tired today n I don't think she slept much lately. Shit, he had thought she was asleep last night when she didn't respond to his knocking. And it hadn't been subtle; he had practically banged the door off its hinges.
We had some disagreement last night.
The doc nodded. Yeah, the clothes.
f**k. Does she tell him everything?
I have my own ways.
Does he read minds?
Neeraj smiled as though he heard that too. I saw the wounds on her hands.
Maan closed his eyes. The wounds had almost healed from when she had cut her hands with the knife. It was my carelessness. Maan admitted. Not going to happen in future.
I understand. Geet has had suicidal tendencies. Out of nowhere Dr. Neeraj exhaled a sigh of relief. But I am glad Mr. Khurana.
What for?
Dr. Neeraj smile broadened. I have never seen her happy. In the four or so years that I have treated her she has never been happy, satisfied. It's the very first. And you know what, not the abuse or depression or the darkened past made her miserable what killed her was that somewhere she deemed you to be responsible. Piece by piece she was dying every day. Going deeper in the pit. Later on she had started coming out of the depression but I was doubtful whether she was ever going to be alright completely because she didn't want to. She had started to identify herself with the pain. Her mind was filled with blackness and there was no space for anything else. I saw that blackness clear today. Something was eating at her. As Neeraj adjusted the specs on his nose Maan had an idea that the doctor knew what it was. That is not there anymore. The veil has lift n she could look out. She is...hopeful. You know what hope means? It's akin to being alive.
Dr. Neeraj was glowing n Maan was dumbfounded.
And she is pregnant. That's a miracle considering she was scared of physical intimacy. A step miles ahead. Dr. Neeraj smoothened his big smile. I also want to apologize. When last time you had come here I had been biased. Not anymore Mr. Khurana. Am really thankful that you came back into Geet's life. Not any medicine or therapy could have cured her. Neeraj had been scared where she was going with so much burden n agony on her shoulders. He hesitantly started again. Umm... Before Geet comes back, I want to give you something. He shuffled into his table drawer n produced a small cassette. He gave it to Maan.
It's against my principles. But then psychology has no principles whatsoever.
Maan found his voice back. What's this?
Recording, of one of Geet's sessions with me. Maan's eyes widened. In that particular session she had confessed everything. We try to record the imperative sessions, confessions and reconciliations with the patients. For evaluation, future reference n as case study for students. This one though has been with me since the time it was taken. Making Geet speak was particularly hard. In initial sessions she just sat on the chair numb n unmoving then finally after months she decided to take it out. She understood that was the only way she could keep going on.
Ahem, Meera doesn't know about it and I would appreciate if that remains the same.
It would remain with me. With the sound of footfalls outside the door, Maan said with all his heart. Thank you. I don't know if... I would have been able to know without your help.
Neeraj nodded as Geet entered. He gave Geet some instructions before they both left.
When car started moving Geet shifted closer to Maan-box of sweet candy on her lap-n laid her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. He didn't say a word, the weight of cassette heavy in the inside-pocket of his coat, and just pulled her closer.
The following night Maan flicked the small cassette in between his fingers. The confines of his study were silent, introspective.
An involuntary shudder went through his body. Something was there in Neeraj eyes when he had given him this and it scared Maan. Hadn't he been after this only? Maan had tried every possible means after his last encounter with Rajendra. He had few men privately investigate about Geet. They had questioned the authorities in the hospital that had taken Geet after she was found on the road. They even investigated in Hoshiyarpur but everything lead to dead end, all roads rounding n blocking on the same spot. There were no witnesses ready to testify even a bit, no evidences. What had happened was done inside the secretive walls where Geet had stayed n her family was influential.
Geet knew what had happened to her but Maan didn't question her. Last thing he wanted was for her to live that time again. The other person who knew was Neeraj but as he had told a month ago wouldn't tell him. Yet he had given him Geet's voice. She would tell him, without knowing. She would speak without looking into his eyes.
But was he ready?
Her single tear stopped his breath n the vision of her blood made his heart bleed dry. How would he take the goriness of her past? Every pain inflicted on him was bearable but a scratch on her made him die.
Hearing the tingle of her bangles Maan slipped the small thing in his hands into the drawer. Tentative hands slid down his shoulder onto his chest. What are you doing? Laptop was opened in front of him flashing an important presentation for the next day. But Maan hadn't been concentrating on it.
Nothing. Taking her soft hand he brought her in front n made her sit on his lap. She adjusted until she was comfortable and then looked lovingly into his eyes. Thank you. What for? For taking care of me, for being with me to Neeraj. And...She pulled his hand n kept his hand on her stomach. For this. We will soon be mumma papa of the new one. Her eyes twinkled in a way like never before. Neeraj told me baby is lucky charm. God's gift, that's why I conceived him the first time we... were together. Once he is here with us everything would change. Maan could see how much the doctor's words affected her. The man was a pro n definitely had a way with words.
About last night- Why didn't you sleep? I don't think I can do that without you anymore.Maan inwardly rejoiced selfishly, though, he didn't know her not able to sleep without him was good thing or bad. I didn't take the pill because I knew you weren't sleeping. Waise bhi one pill won't do to make up for you. And I had promised you I won't take more than one.
Maan buried his face in her neck, wrapping her tightly into him. God, she was his life. Why didn't you take me then instead of the pill? I didn't like you shutting me out. He whispered.
Maan. She pulled back. I am sorry. When he was about to interrupt, she said.Mujhe kehne dijiye. Meri galti hai. Kabhi aapko chot nai pahuchana chahti par wahi karti hu. Aur jab aapne kaha unn kapdo ke bare me... Mai unme acchi nai lagugi Maan. Agar aapko yeh kapde pasand nai toh... toh I will have new suits or- Maan kept a hand on her mouth. Jaan, tumhe pata hai tum kitni pyaari ho. He smiled at her surprised expression but then she surprised him even. Haan mujhe pata hai. She stated with a smile. It was something she would have said years ago. Maan plastered his lips on hers. She stilled just for a second then buried her tongue into his mouth wounding her arms around his neck. He pulled her nearer tilting her head up so he could penetrate deeper. The kiss was everything a girl dreamed of n guy craved for.
He freed her mouth breathing high. Even in a rag you would look sexy. But think about what would happen if you wore lingerie. The example was a lame one but she blushed n he kissed her once more, squeezing her waist with his hand. Mai tumhe waqt dunga. You set the pace n I will trail along. Par mujhe meri Geet chahiye. She nodded a resolving forming, knotting n strengthening.
Aapne wo office ke bare me kaha tha na, I was thinking about it.Geet stopped when he shook his head. Tum KC kaam nai karogi. Maine tumhare lie kuch aur socha hai. Kya? Baad me bataoga.
It was alright with her. She believed in him n whatever he would choose for her would be right. Bade buzurgo ne kaha hai ke deer raat tak kaam nai karte. She pulled him into the bed room n closed the balcony door. So much eager to have me in bed, huh jaan? In your dreams. She said n made him lie on the bed. I just want to sleep in your arms today. Maan agreed, the day had been hard for her, for both of them. Geet got inside the cover n positioned herself against him. She fell asleep in a blink but he couldn't.
Seconds turned into minutes and stretched into hours. Maan just kept stroking her hairs taking comfort in her peaceful breathing n dreading the recording of her voice. A whimper entered his ear n he looked down at Geet's furrowed brows. Her breathing slowed down then became rapid, face contorting and body shaking... going cold. It all happened so fast Maan almost panicked.
