Chapter 31

@ maaneetmaahi Thanks for the beautiful poem you posted dear. I am posting small part in this update.

 

"You are in my house and its my and my family's responsibility that you get well soon"

 

She was leaving but she stopped "This is my house and my family too." And she left.

 

It was evening when Maan came from office but he did not find anyone in the hall, he gave his bag to one of the servant and straight went to his room where his father was on phone while his mother was putting wet cloth on Geet's forehead.

 

A sudden fear engrossed him "Kya hua"

 

"Bauji is talking to doctor, she is running with high fever since afternoon"

Geet sensed Maan but high fever did not let her look up

 

"Why did you not call me in afternoon" But by then his father was done with call

 

"Doctor says reports shows its viral of some kind and they cannot run any antibiotics and we just need to keep her temperature low. They ware working on more blood test"

 

"Itna kuch ho gaya, no body cared to call me" he touched her forehead, it was still burning.

 

Dil gumsum.. Zubaan khamosh...

Yeh aankhein nam kyu hai..?

 

 

Jab tujhe kabhi paya hi na tha...

To aaj tujhe khone ka ghum kyu hai..

 

Maan felt pain within seeing her like this.

 

"They want us to admit her, we should call her dad too" "Nooo" Geet said

 

"you just take rest, we are here thinking" even in her fever, Geet loved his scolding of concern.

 

"Its just fever, I will be fine" "ek baat samjh nahi aati, kaha na aaram karo"

 

He turned to his parents "Bauji, we will get doctors and nurses here itself and we should not trouble her dad now."

 

"Maa you take rest, I will do Patti till doctor's team arrive." They objected but he just sent his parents to take rest.

 

After everyone left Maan sat beside her, dipped the cloth in the water and thought 2 seconds before placing it on her forehead. He was now worried about her as fever was high and not dropping.

 

But even in fever, the moment Geet felt his hand on her forehead, she felt whole world's happiness within.

 

She just turned, making her wet clothed forehead touch his pants on his thigh area and her hands around his waist. "I love you" she murmured

 

 This stirred a complete new feeling inside Maan, his desire for her. She could make him loose from far and this closeness, why his hands were not strong enough to remove this closeness'

 

He looked here and there... "Geet lay properly, you have high fever, let me do what I am doing"

But she did not move, all she wanted now in this physical weakness was to be embraced by him

 

"You are making my trouser wet" "I don't care, take me in your embrace Maan, all I need now is to be in your arms."

 

Maan stirred with thousands of emotion, pain of her high fever, her closeness and his own restlessness, desire and love for her, his resistance...

 

He made himself strong after an long breath in and out "Geet lay properly" and to his relief there was knock on the door.

 

He quickly moved from there and doctor's team was there. Geet cursed them big time under her breath for coming exactly in wrong time.

 

Sab Kuch mil jata hai is duniya main... faqat ...

 

Wo shaks nahi milta jis se Mohabbat ho jate hai ..

 

Doctor's team then were taking care of her but this did not give rest to Maan. Geet in his absence has shifted herself to his room to find solace so Maan have to move to other room.

 

But he had no rest, every half hour he would check on her. He made sure his parents did not take worry and forced them to take night rest.

 

Geet started getting better from next morning.

 

In Between

 

Adi, Shasha, Tasha and Pinky had wanted to visit her after knowing directly from MSK that Geet was sick and will not be working for few days.

 

Thus four of them decided to give her the visit and in this process they came to know the Geet stayed in KM. They were shocked to no end when in handa havelli they were informed

 

"She stays with her in-laws now" and finding out her in-laws house was KM had shocked them to no end. Adi was most shocked as Maan was his friend.

 

When all confused they reached KM, they were informed, she was in MSK's room.

And when they had reached the room, they had found Geet sleeping with a photo frame on her chest and when softly Shasha removed the frame to see who it was, everyone's eye has popped out to find it was Maan.

 

Adi started using his calculative mind "In- laws' Maan's room' his photo frame"

 

Shasha blurted out "Maan sir and Geet?  " "Kab kaise kahan hue shadi" so many question but then Geet woke up.

 

She knew by now they know she is Maan's wife, she looked here and there to avoid there questing look.

 

Realizing she is Mrs MSK, Shasha and Tasha started buttering her more and poured her with so many questions.

 

 But not to trouble her in this situation, Adi asked them to drop this topic. He asked shasha and Tasha to leave when he felt Geet wanted to speak something to Him and Pinky as friend

 

"Adi sir, Maan naraz hain mujhse, that's why?" "Mrs MSK calling me sir, hmm" he teased her, Geet blushed.

 

"Don't worry Geet, we are always there with you whenever you need us. Aur Maan ko to main dekh loonga, Ok now, take rest"

 

 And after three days her fever completely went away and she started working but under strict instruction of Savitri. But within week she was all get going.

 

Maan in the mean while was all confused with his own feeling. He knew he was loosing badly but he was trying to resist even more, which was not helping him in any ways.

 

All her acts and her words only proved him wrong, in fever all she has wanted was to be with him, he somewhere saw the truth but denied to believe it. In these days, only he knows, how many times he had died to pull her in his embrace, tell her he was there for her but he restricted himself. Fear was still there, if this is all dream made of glass and can break in one hit, then what?

 

He will then be broken beyond repair.

 

But her acts, her eyes, her words everything just said him that his fear was useless, that she has truly started loving him and he must  open his heart.
