Chapter 38

Saathiya Part - 38

******************

“Okay. Have your food now.” And he knew she just cut him off. Maan knew he had to work hard to gain her confidence. Of course, now that they have decided, actually she has decided but he ignored that part, the baby is coming is important, he is going to shower his baby with all love and care. He will be the best Dad.

The only thing Maan didn’t know is how long it would take for Geet to believe him. 

Marriage dates were fixed to be held in a month. Maan was staying with Geet and working from Florida itself. Geet did not like Maan taking so much trouble for the child he thinks is not his. Maan on the other side was just doing diligently for Geet and his child. If his child is coming then he is going to be the best father, his Geet is going to be proud of him.

Seeing Maan struggling between his work and her and for something he did not want, Geet decided to move back to India.

That night at dinner “I have placed my resignation. We can plan moving to India. Our marriage preparation is also going on” She declared

“You already placed the resignation? but why Jaan”

“I want to focus on my child, enjoy it. And if I am free you do not need to take care of me all the time. you can focus on you career”

Maan knew his frustration and anger could blow things. His one word has taken things out of proportion, so all he has to do now is to keep patience with her. That incident and now Pregnancy, he needed to be completely giving in. 

He took her hand in his “Jaan, you know I love doing for both of you. I am very well able to manage work from here. You could have not resigned.”

“We have the whole empire running and I don’t need the job to survive. I want to enjoy this period with my baby. I will later join somewhere when I want to pursue my career ahead” He caressed her cheek

“Okay. You love your career, that’s the only reason I insist, please do not resign. It’s not about money, you know”

“But I love my baby more. You will not understand "

"I do” they did not realize but their dynamics were changing. Maan involuntarily to not hurt Geet by any chance, has taken a complete back seat in the relationship, especially deciding anything for Geet.

Geet on the other side thought Maan could not feel the need of a child and thus she had to make her own decision. Love for Maan is always there but now as she thought, she has to protect her child alone, slowly her thoughts and decisions started getting centered to her child. Maan, unknowingly started taking a back seat for her.

They reached India after a couple of weeks of wrapping everything. The house that Maan had bought for Geet  stayed. He had his agents manage the property.

The moment they reached India, Geet was captured for love by everyone. They were all happy that there princess was all back to them

“Now you don’t need to go anywhere away from family and work” declared Anita

“It’s all so empty without you, Geet” hugged Vicky

“When our princess is ready, She is going to head our very own research center” Declared Raj. Maan had been dedicatedly working to create a mega research center for Geet to head and it would benefit many of their product research. But no one at that time needed to mention his effort, not even him. It was being done for Geet and that’s what matters.

Rano hugged Maan and then went to Geet “How is my darling?

“Good”

“You are not upset with Maan. right? He loves you crazily darling” 

“I know Mom” is all Geet said with a smile.

Mohinder gave her a tight hug “My brave girl. We are all with you dear and above all Maan is there with you.”

“Yes, Dad. I am good, you all do not need to worry”

“Of course we are not worried. Maan is there with you and you are so brave, we all just want to shower you with all care at this time. Maan toh hai hee. You know right, he is so excited for the baby. “ She gave a formal smile. “hmmm..”

“Beta, you know. It happens with men. Sometimes they are not prepared for this kind of responsibility and try running away from it. And that is what happened with Maan. But now that he has accepted, you can see how excited he is and ready to do anything”

“Yes Dad, I can see”

Maan had settled and had been observing how Geet was surrounded by whole family. How they were pampering and keeping her busy. She was laughing with them and seemed lost being with family after so long. 

Maybe she is right to take the decision of coming back. Of course between them she is always right, he knew it. Maybe she knew she needed the whole family around her to take care of her, just he was not enough.

Couple of days Maan kept himself busy in work as Geet needed the whole family and the whole family needed her. That day when he came from the office and found no one at home. He left for Handa villa and found the whole family surrounding Geet.

“Can I join in the family fun?” he said, gaining their attention. 

He sat beside Geet and held her hand in his “How was your day” he bent and asked in a low voice

“Great!! I am happy we are back”

“I am happy too. As always, you are always right”

“So what’s the discussion going on, our baby?” He knew their marriage was also a priority for the whole family but for Geet, it was Baby only as of now.

“Yes” there was a shine in her eyes. Ohh how stupid he had been to deny this happiness to her at first instance. But no more, he will make sure to fulfill all her wishes for their baby. Now he has started building his own wishes for the baby too.

“We were discussing how we will set up a baby's room in both our houses. I was suggesting a boy's room. I think it’s going to be a boy, just like…” she stopped not wanting to force to him that she wanted it to look like him

“I want a baby girl, just like you” This made Geet serious “because you fear he is going to look like someone else”

“Naa Jaan” but Geet removed her cushion and left from there

“Now what did you say to her Maan” of course came from Raj

“Dad please”

“Raj, please yaar. We should not interfere between them”

“Yes, if he is capable of not switching off her whole day’s bright mood in just a few minutes of his presence” Maan felt his Dad was right this time. He just came and spoiled her mood.

Maan ran to her room and hugged her from behind, holding her tight in his embrace “It’s mine I know. How can I not? My Geet cannot let anyone touch her except her Maan. The man will be dead before he places his hand on you. It’s mine, no questionast all about it Jaan and I already love our baby so much” Geet composed herself

She loosened his hand and turned to him

“You don’t need to give so much explanation. I am sorry for overreacting and making you accept my baby forcefully Maan” He pulled her closer in his arms 

“Our baby and I love it so much already” 

“hmmm… let’s go downstairs” She moved ahead but he held her wrist to stop her

“I have made some plans for Baby’s room decoration. We can discuss it when you feel like”

“Maan come” she made him sit

“Seriously Maan, I have left my job to focus on the baby. I will take care of all these small things. And I have our whole family now. They are so enthusiastic and added such wonderful suggestions. You really don’t need to bother yourself. You are already loaded with so much work, you do not need to bother yourself with this one as well. And now that I am here, you see, I have so many people to help me with it. Don’t bother for it please”

“But it’s our baby, Jaan. I want to…” “Let’s go down. No need to discuss the same thing again and again. All are down and we alone here does not look good” She got up and left

“When did our family not know us spending time in the room alone Geet?” He talked to himself. But then it was not about him at this time. It was all about her. Whatever makes her happy. He will just suggest.

Marriage preparation was going on as well. Invitations had been sent and marriage was planned to be Mega. Both families will at last be family in real and bond forever. Their happiness had no bound.

Engagement will happen just after two weeks and two days after, the marriage ceremony will start with a bachelor's party for both, so they spend their moments together as friend and lover before getting tied in marriage as husband and wife, followed by Sangeet and Mehndi the day after and then the grand marriage.

That night Maan again came to Handa Villa. He did not expect Geet to visit him like before. She was surrounded by family and way busy in planning for baby and also morning nausea has started troubling her.

“Hey young man, how have you been”

“Busy uncle”

“Learn to call me Dad soon. And how's it going for  Dad-to be”

“I never knew, I will be this excited. I have something to show to  Geet”

“of course, she is in her room”

Maan entered her room and slightly pushed the door behind him to softly close it. Geet was in the balcony when she felt Maan’s hand around her

“How was your day?” She turned in his arms “Good, how was yours” being in his arms always soothed Geet. Though she did not run to visit him in his office often these days as all she had to talk about was the baby and she didn’t want to force baby's thoughts on him. 

“Jaan, I have something to show you. Naa mat bolna, please”

“As if I say no to everything you say” “No Darling” he kissed her cheeks and brought her inside in  his arms and settled her on bed

“Maan” he placed his finger on her lips

“Just see” “okay”

He spread two sheets on the bed “This one is if ours is a  girl and this one if he is a boy. Now don’t say, I don't need to do etc. ect. Just tell me how they are”

Geet looked at the design and all the plans. She took a keen look as every minute detail was captured. He had researched and added all things for the baby which even she had missed. He had meticulously worked and it looked like work from the heart. But only she knew he had done all for her. His love for her was unlimited and this was the result of that. It did not even cross Geet’s mind that Maan has done this all with so much love for his child.

“What do you think” 

“Great! You put in so much effort.” She held his hand in hers “You love me so much. I love you too Maan”

“I love you and our baby. Now tell me would you like to get these implemented”

They discussed the design and Geet was admiring Maan’s love for her. How far he was going for his love for her. Taking effort to participate in welcoming the baby he was not sure was his. 

Maan then took Geet for a walk with him.

“Geet, I have two days free. So tomorrow are you ok to go for our marriage shopping. Mom is nagging that days are coming closer and we have not done our shopping”

“Tomorrow?” Maan had expected some level of enthusiasm in Geet. It was their marriage and they were going to be one. But Geet was lost in thought

“Ohh this nausea and baby’s thought, it completely slipped my mind to ask you. Maan, I have doctor’s appointment tomorrow”

“Doctor’s appointment? You are missing Jaan, I scheduled it for next week. Doctor said we should wait to get a better ultrasound of Baby’s development. I have also kept my day free for that day”

“I just wanted to meet her earlier”

“You should have told me Geet. I want to be by your side in each step of this”

“Maan just a random meeting, I did not want to trouble you for every small thing”

“You don’t have to think that way. I want to, I will love to. Kal saath chalte hain and from there we will go for shopping”

“My nausea doesn’t let me do much Maan. After doctor’s visit won’t be able to do shopping”

“Okay, then we go the day after. I am jam packed after that” 

“Hmm” 

They took a little walk and then he kissed her good night and left.
