Part 17
Geet was sitting in her room drawing circles, lines or whatever she could think of in her drawing book which maan brought the other day. She just loved to do this and that in her book, it just helped her in passing her time soon. Today mansion felt utterly silent to her. Maan had told her that she shouldn't go out of this room until he comes otherwise bad guys will catch her.
Even she used to hear rustling sound of people moving outside whole day, but she never got scared as maan said that they will never come inside and they never came in too since she lived here. But today she didn't heard any voice whole day so they must have gone away she thought. She looked outside the balcony at the setting sun and thought maan must be coming.
She closed her drawing book and sat straight on the bed thinking what to do now. TV???... no!!! Drawing??? Nhi wo to abi kiya!!! To what??? Her brain clicked with a plan and she jumped in excitement as her eyes twinkled. With steady steps, she moved out of the room and looked out sceptically to check if someone is there. When she didn't saw anyone else, she got really happy and decided to roam around herself, without him scolding her for each and everything.
She was just running around after her ball in whole corridor when her eyes fell on other side of the corridor where two rooms which always stayed close were. She glanced at them and threw her ball on the closed door. It bounced back and then she bounced again. This time she threw hard and the door opened up with the force she applied.
She looked at the opened door in excitement as the inquisitive kid in her wanted to see what was inside that was kept hidden from her. She jumped up and down and moved toward the door and peeped inside. Her eyes brightened seeing the sight inside.
It was a big room with whole room covered with pink and baby blue colour in opposite sides. She paddled softly in the room and looked around carefully now. Her eyes fell on the right side where toys were kept, there were so many teddy bears, from small to pink and of all possible colours one could think of. She sat between the toys, and looked at the doll house which was kept at the end corner.
There were princess and prince dolls and many of their small cute belongings. She touched them caressingly, smiling in excitement at the things. Then her eyes fell on the grey coloured bugs bunny kept on the corner. She smiled at that amusingly and hugged it tightly, loving the soft fur of the toy. She rubbed the soft feather on her cheek and smiled at the smoothness. She stood up and held it from the big ears and dragged it with her.
Then she left to the other side of the room, where a small study table was kept. She looked at the books kept on it and went through them. They were drawing books, filled with lots of childish drawings... geet looked at them annoyingly and said, "nhi geet wali drawing book better hai!!!" she pouted her lips and kept back the book.
Then she looked at the walls which were filled with picture frames. She saw there was picture of a girl, a child actually... a cute beautiful one. She kept her fingers on the cheek of the girl on the photo and caressed it smilingly, then raised her eyes wondering who the girl is.
She looked at the other pictures and saw one of maan too holding the girl in his arms, and there was another where that kid was hanging around his neck. And then there was a bigger picture in the middle of maan and a lady beside him who was holding a small baby in her arms. She looked at him mostly, he was looking smart in that casual jeans and green t-shirt, his face was glowing with that amazing smile in which she hadn't seen him till date. His arm was around that girl and the woman was very pretty.
She looked at the unknown faces in the pictures and her mind practically got confused. She looked at the bunny and then at the pictures and thought playing was a better option that getting confused. She went back to the other end and started playing with the toys until she felt bored and tired. Soon she felt sleepy and stood up with her bunny and looked at the bed that was placed in the centre of bed surrounded by canopy of pink net.
She jumped on the bed and then saw it was also filled with toys from all side. She smiled at the arrangement and settled in mid hugging her bugs bunny and soon was in deep sleep.
Around seven maan came back. He looked at the silent mansion and knew in next ten minutes it would be filled with her laughter. He smiled thinking about her antics and loosened his tie. Throwing his coat on the couch, he moved toward her room. With a smile he opened her room door, knowing she will jump in excitement seeing him.
But he got the shock of his life when he saw the bed empty. With swift steps he moved around the room, checking bathroom and balcony and got scared for once. "ye kha ja sakti hai!!! Khi kuch ise hua to...!!!" just shut up maan he chided himself to think so negative about her. Use kuch nhi ho sakta... wo mujhe chod ke nhi ja skti hai he took out his cell and dialled to nakul, "nakul tumne geet ko khi dekha???"
"sahib geet baby to room me hi rehti hai"
Maan just threw the cell knowing its no use. His heart fell thinking all sorts of things, a deep fear entered his heart in a slight second, fear of being alone again. A tear formed in his eyes, but then she cant just go away and before that she cant go anywhere he knew that.
He moved out of the room and called for her, shouted her name in the entire mansion... but no response. Sweat was filled on his forehead as he searched entire mansion, searched every possible corner, his study, garden, kitchen!!! Defeated, broken he moved back upstairs and was about to call police that's when his eyes fell on the door which was next to his room.
His mind immediately processed the information and he walked swiftly in the room only to see a faint figure lying on bed. He was frantic as he went toward the bed, taking a sigh of relief, as his body relaxed. Sitting in the corner, he looked at her through the canopy. She looked so soft and serene through the translucent cloth, devoid of any pain and hate!!! She looked an angel, his angel!!!
He softly removed the cloth and in a swift move, pulled her by shoulder hugging her tightly. She was disturbed from her sleep and looked at him with her half opened eyes. Seeing him hugging her, she yawned and kept her head on his chest, moving her arm around him, she settled herself on his lap and closed her eyes going in sleep.
He smiled at her antic and held her tightly, feeling relaxed. He didn't even realised he was crying, in tears till he felt a tear drop on his palm which was on her back. He immediately wiped his tears not wanting her to see him weak. After a moment of fuzziness he realised where he was, Mansi's room!!!
How come she got here??? And then he looked at the messed up room, clearly stating she was here since some time and was even messing up things. He would have shouted at her to touch his daughter's things, probably he would have been very angry, but no at present his heart was too much overwhelmed to say anything.
"geet" he softly cooed to her, making her turn her head other side. He again tried, "umm sone do na!!!" she moaned in her sleep hugging him tightly. He realized she wasn't going to get up now, so he picked her up and took back in her room, while she just hugged him sleepily. He laid her on her bed covering her with blanket and then himself went beside her wrapping her in his arms, he laid peacefully.
He was feeling so emotional at that moment. Going in his daughter's room, seeing her there, her going away from him for a single moment and his restlessness!!! Everything just crashed on him at that moment. He didn't even realized until this moment what she meant for him. They say sometimes whole life goes in understanding the importance of a person and sometimes a single moment is enough, and today was that moment for him.
May be he was rushing into conclusion, may be he shouldn't think like this as it was against him, against his feeling toward his wife but he just doesn't wanted to think anything else at this moment. He held her tightly taking her hand in his, rubbing them, igniting warmth as he tried to feel her close. He doesn't know what he felt for her today, but he knew that it was above any physical attraction.
Physical!!! He laughed at the fact. He had seen her in condition which would be worst for any girl still it dindt ignited this deep revolution in his heart, and he was proud of himself today to pass that test because he can proudly say to himself that no he didn't take advantage of her condition ever.
