Chapter 2
Geet heard footsteps behind her and turning around she grinned widely. Her mom and dadi ma had come to meet her. Flinging herself in their arms, she had a jolly good chat wid them. Everybody was fussing over her and she was liking it very much. Hearing the marriage news she was really ecstatic and all of them went to pack their bags for the journey.
By evening, all arrived in a lavish 7 star hotel "Angel's Paradise". This hotel was jointly constructed by mohinder and shobit when geet was born. This was the luckiest business venture for both families. They earned maximum business deals and profits thru this one hotel. As the drivers stopped the two large limos, bell boys waiting in a long line came to take the luggage and young girls from housekeeping section went to escort the ladies inside. Geet was with her two mothers and dadi ma all the while. Going inside, everybody went to the fifth floor in their large private elevator. The huge super deluxe suites were ready to live-in. Bell boys had already settled the lugage and furniture. Shivani and rano helped geet wash up slowly because hurrying cud make her slip in the washroom, and they had to be quite careful with her. Then all ladies went to the lounge with dadi ma to relax before dinner time.
Maan and both fathers were busy instructing adi and the hotel staff regarding the reception ceremony. Jaimala ceremony and everything else would be conducted within two days. They cud not lose any time at all. No functions wud be held for sangeet or haldi as geet wud be under stress, she was advised complete rest by the doc. A little exertion cud harm her very badly. The manager was baffled as to why so much hurry for the wedding reception but one glare from mohinder and shobit, he quickly shut his mouth. Media persons wud not be allowed near until the marriage was legally registered. Registrar and court officials were to remain present early in the morning that friday to complete all formalities. Once legal procedure were done, there wud be no worry regarding facing the media.
Geet was looking worn out after dinner, so shivani and maan helped her to settle on bed after the evening walk out on the huge wide lawns. Tucking her properly inside the blanket, shivani left after patting her baby and maan sat working on his lappy, admiring his cute mishty in between. Till then all of them retired to their rooms, now they just had to supervise everything the next afternoon. All problems wud finish off then.
Little while later, maan too switched off his laptop and putting out all the lights, went to sleep in his room, as dadi ma wud be sleeping in geet's room in the hotel. Dadi ma was standing outside, maan escorted her inside and left after wishing. She too went and laid down near geet after changing her nightgown.
Some time went by. Around 1 'o' clock in the night, dadi ma woke up hearing some whimpers, she turned and to her horror, her baby was crying in pain, clutching her stomach and leg painfully curled in a ball. Dadi ma quickly called up maan and shobit on the intercom, they came in two minutes while calling up the family gynaec. Dr. Ritu Bhalla came and taking out her stethoscpe, started examining geet. The girl was continually crying, clutching her tummy. Dr. said, "Geet has got abdominal cramps, I'll give her injection and aap usko warm pani se malish kariye uski tummy pe. 2-4 hours mei relief aa jaegi. Aur haa, make sure she takes loads of fruits in her diet along with resting completely. Dr. Ritu caressed geet's head and left. Then dadi ma said to get warm water and hand towels. Maan quickly got everything. He sat near geet's head and shobit near the feet. As he was lifting geet's nightshirt a little, maan looked at him shocked, and held his dad's hand in confusion. Dadi ma rolled her eyes at him and shobit said,
"Maan, itna drama mat karo. Geet ki sari diapers mei hi banata tha when she was born. Tum bas hamari help karo, samje?"
Maan just nodded his head and set to masage geet's li' head. Her whimpers were reducing bit by bit. Shobit and dadi ma were working for about two full hours when geet finally became silent and fell fast asleep. Her slow, easy breaths relieved them and instructing maan to look after her nicely, both dadi and shobit exited from the room. Poor maan was sitting straight up, he cud not sleep as his mishty had soo much pain. He just gathered geet in his arms and resting her back properly on the cushions, stretched his legs to recline. Soon he too fell in a deep slumber.
Morning came, and geet slowly stirred from her sleep. She was much better since last night. Smiling softly, she stretched her arms and sat up on the bed. Just then mohinder, rano and shivani entered her room. She tried to get up, but they quickly went near her and sitting around her, forced geet back inside the bed.
"Lekin mai thik hoon papa, muje aur nai sona hai." Geet pouted in dismay.
"Bacha, dr. ne ap ko rest karne boli hai na, to kyu uthna hai jaldi?" Shivani lovingly tucked her back in the bed. Rano took her head on the lap and threded her hair softly, trying to make her doll comfortable. Geet yawned like a baby and slept again, she was quite tired due to loss of sleep last night. Even dadi ma and shobit were sleeping after the early morning showers.
Mohinder was cradling geet when his cell beeped. It was adi asking permission to get the party planners. Mohinder slowly got up and making geet comfortable on the bed, went downstairs to see the remaining arrangements.
Two hours later, geet showered and went downstairs to sit with the family. She was amused to see everyone running here and there getting things ready. She wanted to ask what was up, but none wud allow her to leave her place. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were done quite late that day, but geet was fed small amounts of her fav sour fruits and berries in between for she loved those and dr. had instructed in diet plans.
Finally evening befaled, and everyone was hell tired with work. Shobit was taking cuisine details from maan when he happened to look at the corner bed. Mohinder and geet were cuddled up cosily together, exhausted with running around the whole afternoon. Shobit grinned and went away with maan for finalising the reception dates.
On the other side, dadi ma had finished planning wid d designers. Jewellery, costumes and canopy designs were completed with final touch-ups. Wedding wud be the grandest affair for both families as they wud become one in the true sense, that too for ever.
Part two has come, likes, comments and suggestions needed. Pls take your time, new year mei new boost wanting, jaldi che do.
