he went back to his after several hours but it was only geet in his mind ..how he met her ...her smile ..her nature that filled life to his house now ...without her everything n everyone seems dull but she ...she adds onn the colors in his home ...n in his house ...her empty eyes haunted him the whole night ..n if that wasn't enough she didn't showed up early morning in KM ...she usually does either prem or dadi calls her or some office work gets her here to make his morning ...but today nothing of such sort happened ..prem even looked for her the whole time ..aniee was about to call her much for his delight but dadi maa stopped her saying she must have some work ...she has a life ...maan knew his behavior has upset dadi maa to snap at them ...n to cheer up prem he offered to drop him to school today ..n left early ...but who was he kidding he wanted to see geet ..it was 8:30 n she must be at office by know ..though all his hopes went in drain when he didn't saw her ..he almost fired the peon when he walked in with a pathetic coffee ...n then yelled at adi to call geet only to be informed that she had called in a sick leave for today n she won't be coming ..
the day was going worst then ever ...when aniee called ..
aniee : bhai mujhe geet se baat karni hai ...she isn't picking up my call ..
maan : aniee geet ne aaj off li hai ..
aniee : off ..?? but ..she doesn't do that often ..wohh theek hai na ..?? usne off kyun li ..??
maan : aniee mien uska secretary nahi hoon ...so stop asking me ..n let me do my work u get it ..
aniee : okie fine ..aap ..aap kaam karlo ..ill call her again ...
maan threw his mbl on the table ..n ran a hand through his hair in frustration ..he was irritated with everything around him ..angry at her to have not called him instead HR depart ..she always asks him for leave ..that is if had ever wanted ...n sick leave the name itself had him worried for her ...she had been in the drizzling wetting herself ...but that wasn't such a thing to get her sick ... may be she is avoiding him ..or the people ..embarrassed by last night's events' ...or may be she doesn't want to just see Him ..after all ..the hurt she carried in her eyes n her cold behavior was enough for him to know she is preety much angry with him ..his words must have hurt her ..but she wasn't picking up aniee's call ..that wasn't her ..she never does so ..no matter what ..where she is she always picks up KM's number .. does that mean she is walking from them ...from KC ..from Him ...!! The thought was almost paralyzing ...almost in state of panic he walked out of the office towards geet's home to check on her .. n to have a talk with her ...driving the car almost breaking the signal he did reached thr but didn't knew how to walk in thr ...what possibly he could say to her ...
don't leave the job even though I scold you like you r a slave ...don't leave my family coz even though I have accused you of million mistakes but I can't handle them without you ...don't leave me coz even though I act like you are the last person on earth I want to be with but I can't live without you ...don't leave me geet coz I m a screwed idiot who is scared if loosing you n so I will never let you enter my life completely even though you have conquered my heart ...
cursing himself he was still sitting in his car trying to figure out what he could say to her that she won't leave her job ..when he saw her walk out from a house just opposite to hers' apparantely she just woke up ...maan looked at her ..she was still in her night dress he knew she wore with her few stays in KM ..n she had a duppatta well covering her ..the house she just walked out wasn't hers' then what she was doing thr ...geet walked in her house ..n maan got out carefully towards the house geet walked out from earleir but it was locked now ...confused maan walked back n saw a name plate of Raina's thr ..
maan was still thr when he got a call from geet's mbl ...shocked n confused he picked it up ..but the person on the other side was a manager from the hotel last night ..
sir actually yeh mobile humien ek room se mila ..n this was the last number dialed ..
alright ..thnxx ill have someone picked it up ..
your welcome dusht danav sir ..
excuse me ...u called me what ..??
ur name sir ...dusht danav ...that's the name saved in this mbl ..😆
oh ..(he just understood what happened n a small smile appeared on his face he looked up to geet's room's balcony n shook his head).. ill have it picked it up ..aap isse switch off kar dijeye ..
pagal larki ...😳
he left deciding it was probably not the right time to talk to her ...n just has he reached office he had dadi maa waiting for him ..
aap yahan ..
geet kahan hain maan ...na who humara phone utha rahi hain na aniee ka ..yahan tak k KM ka bhi nahi ...aap jante hain geet yeh kabhi nahi karti ...kaha kya aapne uss se aisa .. aapko zara sa bhi ehsaas nahi hai aapki baatien uss bachi ko kitna dukh puhancha sakti hain ..
dadi maa ...relax uska mobile kal hotel mien reh gaya tha ..iss liye wohh phone nahi utha rahi ..n u can call her on her home ..
aapko kaise pata wohh ghar par hai ..
umm ...wohh uska call sick leave ke liye ghar se hi aaya tha ..so
dadi maa started to leave worried about geet but stopped surprised with maan's request
dadi maa I think u should talk to geet ..😳
dadi maa turned to angry to be rational : hum tu baat karlenge unse maan but aap ka bunko takleef dene k bajaye unko apne dil ki baat kahenge .. aap jante hain maan kal jo juch huya uske baad geet ko shayad sab se ziada aapki zarorat rahi hugi ...but aap ...aap kabhi nahi kehnge unse kuch ..aap tu pata nahi ...//
ek min dadi maa (he interrupted her knowing he has let down his guards).. aap galat samajh rahi hain ..mene yeh sirf iss liye kaha coz ..kal jo hua usske baad geet aaj office nahi aayi ..thats nt gud .. she wasn't wrong so she shouldn't be running away ...n being a woman u can explain this to her better .. bas aur kuch nahi ..
dadi maa looked at her stubborn son n asked looking at him straight in his eyes : sach mien kuch nahi maan ..??
maan could lie looking at her in the eye ...n he turned away taking a file to sit at his place ...nahi ..😡
dadi maa turned to walk away saying with a smirk .. iss sawaal ka jawaab tab dijiyega maan jab ...humari ankhoon mien dekh kar jawaab dene ki himmat aajaye aap mien ..😛 😆
she left ...n maan sighed ..he really couldn't lie looking at at her ...n the old woman who has brought him up knew that too well ..if anyone after his bhai n bhabi could detect him lying was dadi maa ..
********^^^^^^*********
Geet : sorry mami gi ..mien aesi raat ko uth kar preetie e ghar chali gayi ...par mujhe neend hi nah aarahi thi ...tou

Geet : nahi ..mann nahi hai ..mien chai bana leti hoon apne liye ..
Gayatri : tu kyun banaegi ..mien bana deti hoon na ..tu araam se beth ..(geet tried to stop her but she intervened).. bs kuch nahi ..
Gayatri came with 2 cups of steaming hot tea n after a bit light hearted talk in which geet participated least she came to her point : waise teri aaj ki leave ke paise tu nahi kaatienge nay eh KC wale ..
Geet : nahi mami gi ..woh meri sick leave hain kafi tu yeh paid holiday hi hugi ..
Before she could say more ...the landline rung ...n gayatri moved to attend to it ..n called for geet as it was savitri devi calling ..
Geet : Namaste dadi maa ..

*******^^^^^^^^^^*******
She reached KM ..n asked tarun about where is everyone ..n was glad to know maan by any chance wasn't home ..she just wasn't prepared to face him yet ..last night their dance ..those feelings she wanted to bury deep down suddenly bared in front of him n he still not getting anything n then varun n the way he rescued her ..was so protectively holding on her yet the knowledge what made him save her ..it was all too much for her to keep check on her words ..n she has said things she never ever will think of saying to him ...no matter how much she loves him ..no matter how much it hurts her seeing it every day in his eyes that he doesn't give damn about her ...she still can't say all that to him in her correct state of mind ..n so she needed time to face him ...to be able to be that fake girl in front of him ..
She met dadi maa in her room ..n the old lady was so pleased seeing her ...geet from the first day respected her but over the years her warmth n her acceptance towards a girl who was just a mere employee has made geet love her like her own coz since last 5 years dadi maa has treated her like a family ...n like a dadi maa today she had called her to make her mood better to make her say what happen ..to share her grief ..
It wasn't exactly easy to get geet talk about it but dadi maa knew how to make geet say things ...n she did said what happened last night knowing maan had told her all of it ..but surprisingly ..she felt much better after saying it all to her ... she hadn't been able to share her disgust over varun's touch that she felt ..n the urge to kill him ..but now having said it all ..she felt lighter ..
I swear dadi maa ..woh khute da muttar ullo did um ..mujhe abb kahin dekha na tu usske chote chote chote tukre kar ke crows ko khila dungi ..😛
Dadi maa looked away controlling her smile ...it was really painful to hear geet but she knew it was needed for geet to share it ..knowing n having met her mami once she knew she wasn't any help n geet won't share anything with her ...so it was even more important for her to have a talk with his little girl ..but know seeing the sobbing geet curse that varun was seriously hilarious ...but she couldn't laugh that might hurt geet ..n geet unaware of her thought continued cursing that basdard ...
Aap dekhna aisa maza chakaongi na usko ..shadi ke baad apni biwi ko bhi behen bolega ...😆😆
Geet looked at dadi maa ...n thr eyes ..n suddenly they both broke into laughter ...she probably knew she won't be doing any of it ...n just having reminded of all she said n how she said made her laugh ...but dadi maa stopped seeing geet laugh ...she knew it wasn't varun that could effect her like this ... if anything she knew about geet ..it was she is a very strong person ...no one ..no one could survive with her grandson with the kind of attitude he has thrown over her ..but she did ..with all her dignity intact ...this girl has been in love with her idiot son ..even though he don't reciprocate an inch being the scared fool he is ...n still she is here ...in her house ..carrying the pain in her eyes yet laughing like she is the most happiest person alive ..that needs a very emotionally strong person to bear ...n an incident like last night could surely scare or affect her in ways at that moment ..but she won't morn at it longer than night ...she might look like all fragile n sensitive ...but that is just for her good for nothing grandson ..who can affect her like no one else can ..n she was sure ..maan has said something to her that has again hurt her ...coz the emptiness in her eyes that she saw when she walked in ..can't be coz of that varun ..
Geet realized dadi was in deep thoughts n she stopped ...n suddenly realized its been hous she is here n its prem's time to get back home ..
Dadi maa ..prem k aane ka time hu raha hai ...mien soch rahi thi ..uska fav kuch bana leti hoon ..khush hujayega na ...subha uss se mili bhi nahi mien tu ..
Theek hai beta ..nakul se keh dijiye wohh aapki help kardenge ..
