Part 55
The
next few days went with their occasional arguments and romance. Both were very
much relaxed and work was progressing well. Maan was totally at ease and seldom
blasted at the employees. Preeti had handed over the tasks to Geet soon as she
was a quick learner. It took only few days for her to familiarize with the
tasks. All the employees liked Geet for her friendly and down-to-earth nature.
They have always thought that Maan Singh Khurana's wife will be more
sophisticated but she was simple and bubbly, always ready to help. She never
allowed anyone to address her as Ma'am, not even the trainees. They were really
fond of her. She had selected one trainee to work under her, Megha. She was
very much helpful to her and Maan also liked her as she seldom drooled over him
like others and was good at work. Sasha had mellowed down after the incident
and had decided to move forward taking in Geet's advice. Geet was really happy
when Munshiji came to KM to invite them for Sasha's engagement. She went to
talk to Sasha and Sasha apologized for her deeds. Everything was going well and
for Geet, her life appeared to be a fairy tale. But everything was the calm
before the storm.
The
Saturday after Preeti left, Geet had arranged a lunch treat for her
ex-colleagues and Preeti. Ayan was also invited along with Dev, Meera, Prem and
Priya. As Maan was going to sign a deal to Manali for the project Geet had done
analysis, he couldn't join them. They had a great time during the treat and
Ayan got some time to spend with Preeti before their marriage. Geet was feeling
nauseous even after having all her favorite dishes. She was feeling tired from
the past few weeks and had missed her periods, which she didn't consider
seriously. After the treat, she went back to KM along with Dev and Meera. She
went to their room and rested for a while. When she woke up she felt like her
head spinning and had a tendency to throw up. She immediately went to washroom
and almost puked everything she ate. She was very tired by then. She asked
Nakul to bring some warm water to drink and told him that she is going to rest
for a while. Dadi and Meera came to enquire about her health and she told may
be indigestion. They asked her to sleep well and she assured them that she is
fine as they had to go to a relative's engagement in the evening. Dadi insisted
Geet to take rest and there is no need for her to come. Geet agreed as she was
very much tired.
By
the time she woke up, others had left, leaving her a note to take care and Maan
had called to inform that he will return only the next day. She really needed
Maan to be there but she knows that the deal was important. She thought of the
reasons for her nausea and remembered that she missed her periods. Her heart
made a jump, "Is it possible that I'm.. I'm pregnant?? Babaji, let it be
true. I need to confirm." She called a gynecologist whom she knew since
long and fixed her appointment in the evening. She got ready and told Nakul
that she was going out to buy some gifts. Nakul insisted on going by car and
called the driver. She also thought it to be best in her current condition. She
went and did the check-up. When the doctor confirmed her pregnancy, her
happiness knew no bounds. She is carrying Maan's child, their child, their
love; the thought itself gave her Goosebumps.
She
decided to surprise him as his birthday was on next Friday. She decided to make
it special. She has to keep the news from others till then. First she needs to
get ready to surprise him. She asked driver to take her to baby shop and she
bought everything required to arrange for a baby room. She smiled thinking of
Maan's reaction to this. She went home after getting some more gifts for Maan.
After reaching KM, she had to tell Nakul as she knew she can't do anything
without his help. Nakul was really happy and immediately went on talking about
her diet. He helped in arranging the room next to them for the baby. She
decided to get the painting done some other day as she knew others will be
returning soon. It was almost 9.30 by the time they finished arranging the
room. She had dinner and left to their room. She called Maan and talked for a
while. He was missing her as much as she missed him. Others reached very late
and Geet had slept by then. Nakul kept mum at her insistence.
Maan
returned almost by evening next day. He noticed that Geet was looking tired.
When he inquired to Meera, she told about the treat and they
concluded it to be some sort of food poisoning. He insisted her to take leave
next day and rest. Geet was more than happy to oblige as she knew she can
decorate the room after painting as no one will be home. Maan noticed that
beyond the tiredness there was an unusual glow in her face. He asked, "Geet,
kya baat he? Tum different lag rahi ho." Geet bit her lip and thought, "Hey
babaji, kahi mein zyaada obvious tho nahi lag rahi he. Mujhe unhe surprise dena
he. Control Geet, control." She told, "Kuch nahi, aap wapas jo aagaya
he. I was missing you." Maan smiled and told, "I missed
you too Geet." He pulled her to him and kissed her passionately.
Geet pulled back after a while feeling short of breath. Maan asked smirking, "Itni
jaldi saase ruk gayi." Geet hugged him and placed her head on his chest.
Maan told patting her head, "So jao Geet, tum bahut tired lag rahi hoon."
If any other day Geet would have objected, but she knew that she needs to take
care of the little one. She hugged him and slept peacefully in his arms. Maan
too slept hugging her close.
Next
day, Geet with the help of Nakul and other servants, painted the room and
arranged the room. Dadima was out for her NGO work, so she was very much
relieved. Once the room was done she thought, "Maan, aap humesha mujhe
surprise dethe the. Ab meri baari he.. I know you will love the surprise."
Maan was quite busy with some new clients and reached home very late. Geet
would have slept by then. Next few days were busy for both. Maan with his deals
and Geet with her tasks plus Sameera had returned from her extended trip. She
was finalizing the project with Sameera. She was happy to see that Geet joined
KC and she had noticed their occasional romance and eye-locks as she will be
most of the time in Geet's cabin. She knew that they were so much in love that
reflected in all their gestures.
Finally
it was Thursday evening. Geet went home early and baked a cake for him. She
told dadima that she wants to surprise Maan and dadima agreed to her. They
managed to make the arrangements on time. Dev managed to keep Maan busy with
some of the discussions of KI and they both reached home by almost 11.55. When
they entered the whole KM was dark. Maan told, "Dev, I think they all slept.
But why Nakul didn't leave any of the lights on." Dev told, "Bro, you wait
here. I will check and come." He waited for sometime and suddenly lights came.
He was surprised to see the decorations before him and saw everyone wishing him
Happy Birthday. Then only he remembered that it was his birthday. Dadima came
forward and hugged him, giving him her wishes. Then Dev and Annie wished him.
Aadi, Sasha and Pinky were there too. Ayan and Meera wished him afterwards. His
eyes searched for his Geet. There she was in a red saree, looking gorgeous
holding the cake. She placed it in the table and went near him. She hugged him
and wished him Happy Birthday.
He
knew it is her arrangement and smiled. He cut the cake and took one piece. Geet
gestured towards dadima. He gave dadima, Annie and Dev. He took one piece and
held it near her mouth. When she opened her mouth, he smeared it all over her
face. She looked at him annoyed and others laughed seeing her face. She went to
wash her face while Nakul cut the cake and gave to others. She came back soon
and others left wishing him. Dadima, Annie and Dev also retired for bed soon.
Maan looked at Geet who was not meeting his gaze. When he walked towards her,
she immediately left with Nakul to kitchen. He knew she was annoyed and now he
has a hard task in hand. He sighed and went to room. He changed into his vest
and tracks and went to bed. He saw her entering after a while and directly went
to bathroom taking her clothes without sparing a glance at him. She changed to
her night dress and lied down on the other end turning her back to him. Maan
slowly went near her and held his hand around her waist pulling her closer. She
closed her eyes not to give in so easily. She tried to take his hands from her
waist but he held her tighter. He nuzzled her ear and placed a kiss on the nape
of her neck. She shuddered at his touch but composed herself immediately.
He
asked placing a kiss on her ear, "Geet, tum mera birthday ke din hi mujse
naraz ho? Kya mujhe itna haqk nahi he ki apne patni ke saath thoda hassi-mazak
karu?" That did the task of manofying. She immediately turned back placing
her hand on his mouth. She told, "Aap please aisa mat kaho. Aapko mujpar
pura haqk he." Maan smiled at her innocence. He knows that she will never
let him down. He pulled her to a hug and kissed her forehead. He told, "Mujhe
bahut acha laga Geet. I have celebrated my birthday first time after my parents
passed away." Geet hugged him and told, "Mujhe pata he. Woh dono aaj
aapko dekhkar bahut khush honge." Maan placed a light kiss on her lips and
told, "Sab tumhari wajhe se he Geet." Before she could tell something he
captured her lips into a passionate kiss. After pulling back he asked, "Geet,
par mera gift kaha he?" Geet smiled and told, "Gift tho aapko kal raat
hi milega. Wohi aapka saza he." He smiled and told, "When I have the
most precious gift of God with me, what more I did?" Geet told, "Hmm,
Mujhe yakeen he aapko mera gift sabse precious lagega." Maan raised his
eyebrows and told, "Tho mujhe uska intezaar rahega. Par ab keliye let me
enjoy my gift" and pulled her into another kiss. Soon both were panting in
each others arms after their love making. Maan was very careful as she appeared
fragile from past few weeks. That was definitely good for Geet as she can't
tell him yet about their baby. They slept soon in each others arms.
Next
day when Maan came after shower, he noticed the blue shirt and vest along with
the trousers placed in the bed. So wifey managed to get me a new dress. But
that was not enough. He noticed the new Rolex watch and even his new shoes. He
smiled and left to get ready. He went downstairs and saw that she was in a
white and red saree which was his favorite. They had breakfast and headed to
office together. On the way he asked, "Geet, why you wore saree today?"
Geet smiled and told, "Aaj aapki special day he tho meine socha aapke pasand
hi pehnu." Maan asked, "Aur kitna surprises denge?" She told, "Shyam
tak ek ke baad ek milega." He smiled and shook his head. Almost half the
day went soon as he was busy with his meetings. Before lunch time, he noticed a
note in one of the files Megha gave him. He opened it and read,
Maan,
Aaj
lunch humare saath. Will wait for you.
Geet
Maan
smiled and looked through the blinds and saw her laughing with Sameera in her
cabin. He checked the time, it was 12.30. He decided to spend his afternoon
with Geet and was about to leave when Pinky informed that Mr. Abhishek is there
to meet him. He was from the private detective firm he had asked to get the
details of Geet. He asked her to send him in. He closed the blinds as he didn't
want Geet to know about it. The facts Abhishek presented was very much
confusing. He mentioned that Geet never had any relation even friendship with
guys except Ayan.
In school, no one dared to come near her as Brij was a terror
to who ever tried to even talk to her. That he also knew from Prem. In college,
Ayan was very much protective about her and nobody made any move towards her.
While in hostel, she never came late except for the Farewell day when she was
in first year. After that she was always with Meera or Ayan as she was staying
with them. Maan thanked Abhishek and he left. Maan couldn't see where this must
have occurred. He so wanted to know the one who did it to his innocent Geet.
Putting two and two together, he concluded that it might have happened in the
farewell party, as Ayan had mentioned about her worse condition the next day.
Then it had to be someone either in his batch or hers. He needs to find it out.
He decided to keep it aside as he knew she was waiting for him. Sameera had
left by then and Geet was waiting for him.
He
went near her and hugged her after closing the blinds. He kissed her
passionately as his mind was disturbed with the information. Geet could feel
his tension and asked him after pulling back from the kiss, "Kya hua? Aap
tensed kyun ho?" Maan told, "Kuch nahi Geet. Chalo hum chalthe hain." Geet
smiled and decided to ask it later. They left for lunch. Geet had reserved a
table in Maan's favorite Italian Restaurant. Maan was awed at her surprises. He
was little apprehensive as he knew Geet hated Italian dishes. But to his
surprise, she ate the dishes as if they are the tastier dishes she ever had. He
had noticed lately that she was reluctant to have her favorite Punjabi dishes.
He smiled and asked, "Geet, tum aur Italian khana? Yeh kaisa chamatkar hogaya."
Geet pouted and told, "Kaise nahi hoga. Yeh sab aapki wajhe se hua he. Mujhe ab
mera Punjabi khana acha nahi lagtha." Maan shook his head and laughed while
both continued to finish the lunch. They reached office by two.
Sameera
was waiting in Geet's cabin and Maan left for his. When he was about to sit, he
noticed Geet's mobile in his hand which she gave to keep when she went to
restroom. He took it and went towards Geet's cabin. He was about to go inside
when he heard Sameera talking. Sameera asked, "Geet, mein tumse kuch poochna
chahthi thi. Us din party mein hi batane wali thi par tab Meera ka call aaya
tha." Geet told, "Ha bolo Sam." Sameera continued, "Geet, tumhe woh farewell
party yaad he jo humare jaane se pehle hua tha." Geet's face fell hearing it
but she immediately composed it and told, "Ha yaad he Sam." Maan could see her
face through the small opening of the door. The changed expressions definitely
caught his sight.
Sameera told, "Us din mein Vivek se milne gayi thi. Kuch der
baad Ayan ke call aaya tha. He told Maan was too drunk and I felt bad to have
left like that. When I returned, I saw Maan leaving towards a private room. I
was about to talk to him when I saw you coming out. Maan had pulled you inside
and closed the door before I could talk. I waited outside for some more time
but neither of you came out. Soon I got a call from Vivek and I left. Us din
kuch hua tha? I mean did Maan get angry with you." Geet couldn't believe what
she heard. She had always thought that only she knows about that night. Now she
has to clear this out of Sam's mind. Geet smiled and told, "Sam, woh mujhe tum samjke andar lake darwaza band kiya. He blasted after that on
why you left so early. He was very angry. I was really tensed seeing him like
that. Finally he passed out in the bed after a series of shouting. I came out
after making sure that he is fine." Sam sighed and told, "Oh my God, I was
always worried as to whether he mishandled you that day. But you relieved me
now. Leave it. Let us finish work soon. I know you have to prepare for the next
surprise for Maan." But outside the door, Maan stood getting the worst surprise
of his life, the realization that he did it to her.
