PART 24
*Geet's POV*
I asked Maan a difficult question. I learned that from his expression. And how can i forget what pooja told me the other day in the restaurant.
"Geet he is very vulnerable at times and you need to understand his plight. I cannot share his past with you. He trusts you so much and he will open up to you. All i can afford to tell is his parents are sore topic "
How can parents be sore topic? Did he lose his parents at young age as i did? Does it make things difficult? Of course yes not everyone get lovely gurdians like me. But the why Maan is not opening up to me?
Its been almost a day since i asked him that question he hasn't answered it. To add to difficulty he is being aloof always lost in some thoughts. I need to bring him out of this. My priority is his happiness not knowing his past.
Maan is just back from work and had gone to take shower. I need to talk to him. I heard the shower turn off and so i entered the bed room. Maan just came out of the bathroom wearing a khaki three forth, no shirt just using a towel to dry his head. Something that caught my attention apart from his six packs which i am not still used to is a big visible scar on his shoulder that extended from his right chest to inner shoulder.
What could have caused this hideous scar? Why haven't i noticed this before? Well i haven't seen him shirtless before when i am in sense. That again took my thoughts back to his perfectly sculptured body and abs. No wonder all girls go crazy on him. he has got greek god body.
"Geet ?" he said unsure seeing me stare at him.
I confidently walked towards him and took the towel from him. He looked at me confused. I made him sit on the bed and started to dry his hair. After a minute or so his hands went around my waist and he placed his head on my bump such that his lips were touching my bump. I graciously started to thread his hair.
The rest of the moments passed in silence as we both ate our dinner and went to sleep hugging each other.

The morning bought the change i expected. Old Maan was back and i couldn't be more grateful. Our breakfast session went as happy as always.
" now who is not eating the salad?" i pointed glared at him.
"you are pregnant not me " he said
" aww... that is discrimination you are baby's father" i said
Maan looked at me sharply. He seriously thinks i will eat all fruits and vegetables when he can get over with that.
"At times i am worried i have to take care of two kids in the future" he said
"ha ha very funny" i said putting some salad in his plate.

It was one of my busy days in office. We have a party to attend on the success of a project and extension of the same. The project in charge from Goa will come today as she is gonna handle this project now onwards as i have decided to take it slow in work already. I officially will handle the project to her and will keep open mind to help her only when it is needed. That is kind of relief i should say.
" Will you not come with me?" i asked Maan
He told me he will pick me up at 6 but now is making excuse.
"i am really sorry. Just got held up. I will join you later please" he requested.
I wasn't happy about it but at the same time i didn't want him to feel guilty.
"ok fine" i said
" i ll send the car with driver. He will drop you at venue" Maan said
" thats okay i ll take a cab" i said
"Noways i want to make sure you are safe " Maan said
I like it when the protective father/lover in him gets activated. It is fun.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
I reached the venue exactly 30 minutes after the party started but being pregnant itself is an excuse for being late.
"Hey looking Gorgeous " said heer my colleague
"thanks you look beautiful as well " i said
I was wearing a plain white chiffon saree with blue border, i have taken out blue shirt for Maan hope he wears it. I should remind him that.
"so where is your officer sir?" asked heer
People in office aren't aware of the juicy facts of my life. I have just told them that i have been living together with Maan since long and that we are expecting now. That is what i want others to know about us, nothing personal.
"he has got some work, but will be here soon " i said
We both reached the place where our other friends /colleagues were sitting. They greeted me and we sat down chatting.
"So did you check out the new Girl from goa?" Kush asked
Khush being the youngest of all of us has special interest towards girls.
"girl? I thought its some 30+ lady as HR told me that she handled our europe project " Heer said
" 30+ don't even go there. She is full 10 on 10 smoking hot hardly 25" Khush said with a dreamy expression.
" 10 on 10, smoking hot clearly out off your league " i joked
"Not funny. At least i will take this senior of me to date since i lost my luck with my last one " he said making a sad face.
" ohh poor. I would have come on a date if don't mind being spotted with a girl with five month pregnant belly " i said
" i just envy your lucky man " he said making us laugh.
When we were chatting my senior Mrs.Dixit called me to introduce me to new Project head.
"Geet this is Anchal new head and Anchal this is Geet the very hard working girl i have been talking about " she introduced
"Hello pleased to meet you " Anchal said
"oh pleasure is all mine " i said taking her extended hand.
Khush wasn't wrong, she was beautiful. She was wearing a transparent chocolate brown saree that no one but her could have carried with such elegance. Her hair was perfectly straight complementing her slim body. She should have been a model rather than working here.
"If you don't mind me asking are you expecting " she asked eying my finger to find a ring
"Yeah , five months" i said proudly.
"That is so sweet " she said
She wasn't arrogant but carried the aura of command though, considering that she is just of my age she is just amazing in her career.
I called Maan once i was done talking to Anchal.
" On my way mam " he said once he attended the call
" i called you to tell that ..."
" that you have selected a blue shirt for me. I know . i ve wore the same" he said
"not bad Mr.Khuranna getting sharper day by day :" i said
"All thanks to you " he said
" i am waiting " i said
" be there in five "
I was waiting near the reception since Maan's call and a smile spread in my lips as he showed up.
"missing me so bad " he asked as his hands went around my waist as i corrected his shirt collar.
" baby wanted to see papa " i said
" yeah ?!" he looked down and caressed my stomach.
"missed you too baby " he said
" and mommy?" i asked folding my arms
" missed mommy more " he said kissing the tip of my nose.
We both walked into the party hall hands entwined. I proudly introduced him to everyone of my colleagues and bragged about his professional success. More than Maan i was so happy for no reason.
"lets eat" Maan said
" but i am not hungry " i complained
" come on lets eat before the salad gets over " he said
" not funny " i said glaring
He laughed leading me to the buffet.
"Whatever i eat you eat the same then " i said pointing at the salad in my plate.
He nodded still laughing.
"Geet " i heard unfamiliar voice
I turned to find Anchal there.
"oh hey"
" i just wanted to ask if you could meet me in office tomorrow around 10?" she asked
" no problem. " i said
" Thanks. Enjoy the party " she said
" sure. By the way i forgot to introduce someone " i said turning to Maan " this is ..."
" Maan?" i hear Anchal say
I turned to look at her who held an expression of confusion and amusement while Maan reflected the same expression.
