Chapter 7

 

 

 

Geet turned and hugged him tight "why did I not get true love Maan? Mujhhe dhokha kyun mila Maan?"

 

 

Maan so badly wanted to hug her tight but then does he have that right? No, she has never accepted him as her husband; He was only Natasha's boyfriend and Dev's brother for her. It was just that she was so emotional this time and she was sharing her feeling with him.

 

Maan slightly patted her back and slide his hand on her hair to soothe her.

 

"Let's go to room" She silently nodded as she walked with him.

 

"This silence doesn't suit you? " he teased trying to make things lighter for her but she just gave him a smile, she was lost in her own situation.

 

"Geet, everything will be fine, it' just the matter of time that you had to go thru this pain." Geet gave a faint smile, so Maan tried other way  "But see the positive side of it, you got husband like me, lakhon ladkiya jise bas sapne me he soch saktee hain"

 

Geet hit him hard "I am not speaking, doesn't give you liberty to go on praising yourself"

 

"see see" he pointed at her "ladai hee suit kertee hain tumhe" Geet turned other side, slight tears on her eyes - This is what he will always think of her.

 

"Geet listen, again it's all matter of time. Khushiya kab tumhare darwaze pe dastak de ker tumhare life me aa jayegee tumhe pata bhi nahi chalega. It will all just happen on it's own and you will not even know. So just give yourself sometime"

 

Geet looked at him "Khusiyaan to samne hai Maan, main bas chu nahi sakti usse" Geet gave him a faint smile.

 

They reached their room and took their side of bed. In all this days, which one day Maan  moved from couch to bed they didn't even realize. Maybe it was some of their fight which led him to the side of bed.

 

Geet was still somewhat silent and Maan was not liking it.

 

"Well, anyways, I won today right" "when" This straightened her antenna..

 

"wahi jab Dadima aa gayee" "Ohh that... and no way you won, I clearly won. You had loosed all your senses"

 

"Haha, your eyes were closed, how do you know I was lost. You were lost and you loosed the game. I am the winner, now good night. Cheater kahin ka"

 

And she turned to her side for a sound sleep. Maan kept looking at her and shied

 

"Chaloo ladai ker lee, abb acchi neend aayegee isse."

In Visa again, Maan sincerely helped her fill the form, gather all document, paid fees for her and all other formalities that needed to be done in process, he definitely made things easier for her.

 

Geet was falling badly for him and she now knew it but all this only pained her. Loving Him? She was not sure, coz loving anyone again scared her.

 

On other side, She had promised Natasha. If Maan had kept his promise for her, she will also keep her promise to Natasha.

 

And to keep her head lighter she kept on her regular fights with him. At least he will only be irritated by her.

 

Natasha mostly did not come in their talk but as their relation never was touched by her, Geet had no sour feeling for her. And thus, sometimes while shopping, where dadima would forcefully take them or in dinner time or while doing some work, if Maan mentioned Natasha Geet would quietly listen and conclude that her decision of keeping her promise to Natasha was correct.

 

Geet's visa has arrived and She had this time called and informed Maan. Maan had congratulated her but also teased her with his small taunts and fights.

 

After he had kept the phone, she was lost in remembering their fight. She had big smile thinking how she fights with him. He one sided keeps doing for her and she keeps fighting with him. But he never minds. Geet realized, it was she who always won the fight. Did she really win all the time or did he intentionally loose.

 

The only thought that he intentionally made her win brought different kind of jingle in her heart.

 

Geet thought of giving visit to Maan in his office. Geet reached his office in an hour and she was about to enter the cabin when she had urge to peek in. But then her legs froze at the sight, Maan was hugging Natasha. Geet stood there like statue for a while and then quietly left.

 

Maan's cabin:

 

"Hey Natasha, you are back" "Just for few days. Wanted to see you so badly. Tumse dur jana itna asan nahi hai na"

 

"And howz life started at London"  Natasha hanged on his neck with her hand around it

 

"Well you say, have you been able to moved on. Are you able to get out of my love"

 

"I am trying to but how can I stop loving you. It's not a switch button but I am trying." Maan was casual, he has started trying to think of Natasha as friend as now he knew Geet was in his life and she is his life.

 

Natasha Thought for a while, they had small friendly talk and she left.

 

Today Maan came early, Geet tried to hide her pain in fight "ohh wow, you remember you have home too"

 

"Haan, I remember very well, I have a home where a wife, who doesn't consider me her hubby, is waiting for me." Maan threw back but Geet who was lost in her own pain did not see it.

 

"ohh yeah, why not, when I know you have only Natasha in your heart. Do I look a fool to give you that place and never be there? Well I may be fool enough to be cheated once."

 

Maan went mum with that "Ok, will I get some refreshment and coffee?" he diverted the talk and Geet left to get for him.

 

Maan:

 

I don't know why Geet always brings Natasha between us and that too this way. Why does she make me feel guilty, towards her and towards Natasha.

 

Always bringing Natasha like this, she makes me feel guilty of moving on in life with her. Yes, with Geet constantly around me it is getting easy for me to realize I can move on with her. But bringing Natasha like this, she makes me feel I am doing wrong with Natasha.

 

I know I loved Natasha and always will do, but am I wrong to realize I can move on with Geet?

 

I feel happy with Geet around me, is it cheating on Natasha? If Natasha would have been in my life, it would have been perfect and I would have been lifelong happy with her, I know.

 

Mine and Geet's marriage is not what was expected, but there is some kind of jingle and desire that this Mad girl has brought in my life that I had earlier never realized we even need in life.

 

Maan was lost in his internal fight when Geet came with Maan's refreshment and coffee.

 

"you did not change yet? Woow this is Mr. perfect." She brought him out of his thought.

 

"jaise nikala tumne kapda mera" Ohh Geet realized she did not "woo.. it's all your fault, you always start fighting with me"

 

And she got clothes out for him. They do not know when this norm became so common between them that Geet started taking care of him this way.

 

 

Geet's priority has definitely changed. First it was taking revenge from DEV and getting him punished but now the more she spent time with Maan, the fear of ultimately leaving him and going away took her priority. It was eating her up.

 

 

That night as Maan came to bed after freshening up, Geet was waiting on her side for him to come. How it itched and pained, seeing him so close and not touch him.

 

As Maan came, Geet kept looking at him. Maan knew she was again lost in herself. What was eating her up he did not know? The only way he had to keep her lively was to bring her in fight.

 

He could not take her in his arms and console her, or ask her what the matter was; she has not given him that right. How badly has Dev hurt her, he wanted to slap DEV for making her like this. She was badly hurt in name of love and probably that is the only thing that ate her up.

 

All he knew was, it was tough to get into her heart as it had been hurt badly.

 

He hit her head slightly as she had her eyes were constantly fixed on him

 

"uff again lost in me, Mann bhi jaoo na mera jadoo hai tumpe" he teased to lighten her.

 

Geet turned to other side "kaise manno Maan, if I accept it you will never go to Natasha. I know what kind of person you are. I can't be that selfish that I can enjoy my life at the cost of your and Natasha's happiness."

 

"How shameless can you be, is there a limit? You can endlessly keep trying your chance, right?"

 

She said showing her irritation on his useless try.

 

"Ok listen, now we have happy news. We can start your process of going to Canada and finding DEV and get your revenge. Now it will be easy for me to handle all the legalities."

 

But Geet's mind was stuck at one point. She will have to leave Maan after that. Dev definitely has gone back in the priority list "And after that" she asked all lost.

 

"after that what? You win and you get your revenge. But there are lots to do before that, lots." He was serious.
