maneet got engaged now waiting fr their wedding...
Part 21
Later on in the party, Aditi called everyone in the middle for a dance. Aryan gracefully went towards Shaina, and getting down on his knees, asked. "Will you give me a pleasure to dance with you?" The girls around them looked at him in awe and so was Shaina. Her parents were feeling proud of her daughter's choice and Aryan parents were happy for their son. "SURE" Shaina slipped her hand in his, and getting up, he took her into the middle of the room and pulling her in his arms, started dancing on the melodious song.
Geet, not to mention was expecting same kind of gesture from Maan. Her eyes lift up to see him talking with Nitin. Nitin saw her looking at Maan and pat his back, encouraging him to move forward and ask his lady for a dance, but Maan didn't move. Though he looked back at Geet, perfectly reading the desire shown in her eyes, but he didn't dare move from his place.
A sudden kind of disappointment run in Geet's mind. Why is he not coming to her? Why he is not asking her for the dance. Staying on the opposite sides, watching few people dancing in between them, they keep on looking back at each others. Geet with questions and Maan with a smirk that was telling her to be patience.
Though Aditi and Nitin too tried to push Maan but he rejected and reply, Geet just pout at his attitude.
Finally, the dances stop when the news of dinner served got announced. Aryan Shaina and Maan Geet were lead to a corner where the special table was being placed for just four of them. Shaina and Aryan pulled there chairs together as Nitin and Aditi only let waiters placed to plates on the tables, so that means, the couples need to share. Maan pulled his chair close to her too who was looking angry and wasnt in any mood to talk.
Maan smiled inwardly at this side of Geet. This is the very first time she get angry to him and he was loving this pouting Geet. "What would you liked to eat?" He asked looking at the dishes placed infront of them. Geet glared at him and whispered. "Why are you asking me now? Do whatever you are pleased with" Maan smiled but bit his lip to hold it right there. "Now what did i do?" Maan inquired with a fake worried face. "Thats the only problem that you didn't do anything" She mumbled to herself with a huff. Her arms crossed over her chest. Maan heard her but acted as an ignorant. "Did you said anything?" He asked looking at her. "Nothing" She spat and turning back, hiding his smile, Maan put some rice and curt...and add some salad with it. He put the plate in between themselves and put her spoon in front of her but she keep on looking away. Maan moved his hand under the table and pulled her hands away to hold one in his hands . Geet looked at him with questioning eyes while he just gave her a wink and moving closer to her ears whispered. "Believe me, this night has not ended yet" As he moved back, Geet keep looking at him, trying to interpret what he meant. Maan raised his brows and pointed towards the spoon asking her to start eating. Geet moved her hand which was still in his grip underneath the table. "Maan, leave my hand..." She asked trying to get her hand free from his grip. Maan didnt bug leaving it for a moment as he made a bite in the spoon and raise that near her lips. Geet stopped struggling and looked at the spoon moving towards her lips. She looked at Maan and he nodded with a sweet smile, asking her to take it. She too smiled and took the bite that in return got her a "oye hoye...romance" comment from Aryan. Shaina hit Aryan for butting in between them while Geet blushed. Maan left her hand and they started eating from the same plate. Somewhere this act of them made her giddy. As on one hand, this engagement ensured there togetherness, this act of eating from the same plate made her realize that they will be partner of eachother in true sense. They will share there lives, years, months, weeks, days, even minutes and seconds. They will be answerable to eachother. They need to think about eachother's happiness and worries before there owns. And Geet just can't wait to start on with it. With him.
The function ended nicely. Everyone departed with happy faces. Aryan and Shaina's father were busy with clearing the accounts of caterers and hotel. Smriti tried to get in to pay. Geet's father had left some bonds for Geet's marriage but she was straight away asked to leave the matter in there hands.
"Meet me in the backyard at 11:30 when we reach home" Maan whispered slowly holding the car door open for her. As she nod and sit inside, he closed the door and bending down whispered. "Dont change...Please" He requested and before Geet could ask anything further, Smriti and Bi came out holding a sleeping Ananya in her arms. Maan helped them slip into the car, and after making sure that everything is fine, he hugged Aryan, his father and Shaina's father and Bid bye to others as he drive towards his home.
On reaching back, Geet get into another problem. Smriti started asking her to change her dress as it must be irritating her. But there, Maan had asked her to not change it. "Geet, Beta change the dress...what are you waiting for now" Smriti said holding her simple sari in her hands as she move towards bathroom. "Mom, i will change in a bit" Geet replied defeatingly. Right then, She heard Ananya's whining voice. She moved towards her room to check on her when she heard her complaining on how her dress is irritating her while Bi was busy untangling her hairs from pins as they were stuck in it. "Amaaa...please change my dress" She said hitting her arms in the air. "Beta, one minute na" Bi said truly irritated by her own hairs. Geet smiled and entered her room. "BI, Dont worry...i will change her" Geet moved towards the cupboard and took out a sweat shirt having dora on it along with a Capri trouser. She made Ananya stand up and carefully unzipped her dress to take it off and made her wear the night suit. Ananya's eyes were heavy with sleep so Geet made her lay in bed and covering her up with the blanket, sit beside her to caress her forehead. Bi smiled seeing Geet sitting with Ananya and went to change her dress in the restroom. Maan too get in the room to check on Ananya. He always felt a hitch whenever he see ananya and Geet together as if he cant believe that two strange person can create such a sweet bond. Maan came to them and bend down to.kiss Ananya's forehead but on purpose, he kissed Ananya's forehead where Geet's hand was laying. Half of his lips touch her hand. She shivered and blushed with his action and tried to pull her hand away but Maan hold that in his and started caressing Ananya's forehead. Soon, in seconds, Ananya was sleeping peacefully as her parents kept on caressing her head. "Maan, leave my hand now" Geet whispered and turn to look back at the restroom door where Bi was changing. "Bi can come out anytime" Her eyes pleading him as his grip get more tight on her hand and a playful smile was placed on his lips. "I dont care...You are my fiance now...Atleast i got the right to hold your hand publicly" He teased, touching the ring that he just put in her hand, few hours back. The click sound made her more scared. "Maan please...Bi is coming out..." She said once again but Maan was not in mood to hear her. She turned to look at the bathroom door as Bi appeared and was stunned. Her heartbeat was racing a mile per second. "Maan" Bi called him and Geet turned to look at him who was standing on his feet with a straight face. In all this situation, Geet didn't knew when he let her hand loose and stood up. "Yes Bi...I just came to check.on Ananya" Maan replied quickly. Bi smiled and looked at Geet and Ananya. "Finally , Ananya is going to have love of her both parents...May Allah bless you" Bi prayed for them as Geet blushed and Maan smiled. "Good Night Bi" Maan wished and move towards the door when Bi's voice hit his ears. "Geet beta, you also go and change na...Ananya will be fine" He turned around and look at Geet who for the moment, looked at him too...and he shook his head, mouthing a NO her way. Geet looked away and got up from bed. "JI BI"
Geet get out only to get hold by Maan as he pulled her on the side. "You are not changing" He almost ordered that made Geet pout. Of whom she should listen now. Maan left to get into backyard but Geet need to wait to see that Bi and Smriti are off to sleep. The backyard time is there private secret time and she really don't wish for an interruption now as its gonna be after three days, she and Maan are getting some alone time in the solitude of this house. Geet get into kitchen to show her self busy. There was really not much to do out there as the maid had already cleaned it. She put a pot to make there coffee that they usually share. The image of three days back flashed infront of her eyes. There make out session. Each detail was perfectly crafted in her mind as she remembered how she get kissed by his soft manly lips. How he let her move into his mouth and she blushed. They were so high in passion that just the thought that what might happen on there wedding night, send chills down her body. Her palms were cold and sweaty and her cheeks got a dark shade of pink. But then, she cant wait to be his and that's just, 10 days away. Not 10 days exactly. Her eyes lifted up to look at the clock to see it striking 11:15. Just 9 days, 18 hours and 45 minutes as Smriti told them on the way back home that pandit suggested 6pm for the wedding. "OMG" quickly escaped from her mouth as she again looked at the time and went to check on Smriti who was thankfully sleeping now. For precautionary reasons, Geet checked on Bi too, who was also snoring in her bed. Coming back to kitchen, she quickly poured the coffee in two cups an quietly moved towards the backyard.
Maan was sitting on the bench, shaking a file upside down, looking deep into its cover. On feeling a pressence, he looked up to see Geet raising a coffee up, showing him. He gave a faint smile and patted the seat beside him for her. "Come, sit here" Geet handover him his cup before moving to his side. Maan put the cup down on the grass carefully and turned o look at her who was now sitting beside him. Her body was facing him and her eyes looking at the file. "What's in it?" She asked when he didn't say anything. Maan sigh with a smile and handover the file to her. "Its for you...a gift on our engagement" Geet looked at him with a confused face before putting her put on the bench and taking the file. She opened up and looked at the content and felt her breath got caught in her lungs. She looked up instantly at him with wide eyes before closing the file and pushing it back to him. "No way Maan...I am not accepting this" She said, looking dismissively as she turned her body to look at the front. "Why not?" He almost cried. There he was hoping to see her happy with this gift, but here, he get to her frowning. Her eyebrows curled up, making her look cute as well as showing perfectly, that she is angry. She breath deeply, trying to sooth her anger when Maan get up and sit down on his knees, infront of her. "Geet" He called her to get her attention but she looked away. He shook his head before carefully sliding his fingers in between her's, making her look down at him. She looked straight in his eyes to find nothing but tenderness and love. "What happened Geet?" His soft voice broke her silence. "I can't take this gift Maan...This house...my house...It's my aim to get it back on my own...From the time i get to know that my mom put it on the name of that idiot of a man, I am trying hard to get enough money to pay for it...to get it back...Please don't snatch away my aim, my goal" She almost looked at him with pleading eyes. "I am not giving that to you for some sympathy Geet" He tried to clarify but she cut him in between. "I know...I perfectly know thats it out from love...you feel for me...you want to see me happy...But Maan, try to understand that just from my point of view" Geet sighed and hold his hand tightly in hers. "After my father died, it was me who took the responsibility on my own...i never liked to depend on anyone, not even my mom...And getting back this house, is my ultimate motive right from it went under the possession of your company. You let me stay into your house, without taking the rent we agreed upon...but definitely, I am not taking this house as a gift...Its immoral and plus, i don't want anyone to think that I am getting married to you for money" She replied with an unpleasant face. "That's disgusting...I know its not like that" Maan said quickly, trying to clarify. "i know...But you can't stop people to think on there own...Now can you?" Geet said making him look at the other side of this getting-married-for-love sided coin. "And above that, accepting this house as a gift will put a stamp to confirm there suspicions" Maan mind was still stuck on that YOU-Can't-Stop-People-Think line. His eyes shoot up at her. "Did anyone said anything to you?" He asked with flared nostrils, perfectly showing his anger. Geet shuddered at his angry gaze and sighed. A perfect possessive partner. She slipped out her and from under his and cupped his face. "That doesn't matter Maan..." She said in a soft tone, caressing his cheek with his thumb. "People are bound to say...What matters the most is what we think about eachother" Maan though over that for sometime before nodding in acceptance. "And I know, you love me and our little one" His eyes shines with love. Geet smiled at his words. "So, you better keep this file to yourself...I will get this house on my own one day from you...Till that, keep it as my Amanat" Maan smiled softly. "I just wanted that your bidaai occur from that home...In that way, May be, we also could have blessings of your father too" Geet looked at him in awe. How she get so lucky to have him. How her destiny saved him for her. Her heart filled with love to its brim and not knowing how she should say thank you to the ABOVE ONE, she bend down an placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Maan looked at her with stunned face. Geet was always so shy and hesitant when it came to intimate moments, but this kiss meant, that she is allowing herself to get closer to him. To show him, the real her who love him, from the core of her heart. "My father is surly going to bless us from above Maan...that home or not, he is going to be so much happy to see me getting a man, he always wished for me...Its you who mattered to me now Maan...I am trying to live for one's who are alive" Maan get the meaning of her words and smiled as he couldn't argue anymore.
Getting up, he sit beside her and took hold of the coffee mug from the ground, that she gave him earlier. A sip, and he loved it. "Nice..." He whispered before taking another sip. Geet smiled back and also started drinking her coffee. The talk little bit while drinking there coffees as how the evening was and what they loved the most. Somehow that dance argument get back into Geet's mind but she avoided to say about it. Though Maan provoked her by discussing the whole evening, step by step but Geet pushed it away. "So why did you call me here? Not allowing me to even change, just to give away this file?" She asked diverting his mind but he knew perfectly, what she meant. "Actually..." Maan took out his mobile and started looking for something in it. He was frowning a second, and grinning at other one. "Maan?" Geet called when he didn't answered. "One minute Geet" Maan told to shut her up, scrolling the screen up and down. When till next two minutes, he didn't said anything, Geet just get up to walk away, when Maan caught her wrist in time and a song started to play with it.
Meri nigaah ne ye kaisa khwaab dekha hai
Zameen pe chalta hua mahathab dekha hai
Geet turned to look at him to see him sitting with a broad smile, reaching towards the edges of his lips. He was mesmerized by her sheer beauty in the moonlight and she was just dazzled by the fieriness of his eyes and grip on her wrist.
Chaand bhi dekha
Phool bhi dekha
Baadal bijli titli jugnu
Koi nahin hai aisa
Tera husn hai jaisa
Tera husn hai jaisa
"Dance with me?" He said while getting up from the bench. Geet raised her brow while asking "Why now? You simply refused to dance with me in the party?" A sweet pout was gracing her lips. She was about to turn to look away when he jerked her a little forcefully back to himself. She fell into his arms. His hands, softly snaked around her waist, keeping her secure. Her finger tips were resting on his chest. Her eyes were stuck on his face as he grinned and started swaying to the music, that was buzzing from the mobile placed on the bench.
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Kiska chehra
Kiska chehra ab main dekhoon
Tera chehra dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Geet couldn't understand when she started swaying with him. His mischievous, full of love eyes has totally melted her down. She was powerless infront of his intense gaze
Neend bhi dekhi
Khwaab bhi dekha
Neend bhi dekhi
Khwaab bhi dekha
Choodi bindiya darpan khushboo
Koi nahin hai aisa
Tera pyaar hai jaisa
Tera pyaar hai jaisa
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Kiska chehra
Kiska chehra ab main dekhoon
Tera chehra dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Rang bhi dekha
Roop bhi dekha
Rang bhi dekha
Roop bhi dekha
Rasta manzil saahil mehfil
Koi nahin hai aisa
Tera saath hai jaisa
Tera saath hai jaisa
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Kiska chehra
Kiska chehra ab main dekhoon
Tera chehra dekhkar
Meri aankhon ne chuna hai tujhko duniya dekhkar
Bahut khoobsuat hai aankhein tumhaari
Bana dijiye inko kismat hamari
Usay aur kya chaahiye zindagi mein
Jise mil gayi mohabbat tumhari
The song completely depicted there emotions. With the start of last stanza, Geet put her head on his chest with closed eyes. Her fingers felt his heart flutter inside and her ears heard its thumping sound. "I love you" She whispered softly. "Me too" He replied, still avoiding to say those 3 words but she understood and didn't force. After a small moment, Nidhi tried to pull back her head but Maan made his hold get tighter on her waist, keeping her still at her place. "Stay here" He requested softly. Geet smiled at his innocent request. "Why are you dancing with me now?" She questioned once again with a teasing voice. Maan took a deep breath before answering. "Because I wanted to savor this moment for forever in my memory, just in a way that from years on now, whenever we are away from eachother for sometime like how you girls do it, torturing poor husbands while going to your parent house or prefer to share your kids bedroom rather than your on after a silly fight" Geet giggled against his chest at his references. "Or I will be away for business, we can stand on that window of our room to look ito this backyard, cherishing our earlier days...We can actually imagine this whole scenario in our minds..." Maan explained as Geet bit her lip. He is just so cute and...THOUGHTFUL."We have made many beautiful memories out here...and we will make many more...like I proposed you here, We celebrated my birthday in here and..." He stopped as many censored thoughts run down his memory lane. Though they first kissed eachother at that club, but both barely remembered that. And 2nd time, in his bedroom. But they have also shared many intimate scenes out here. "And...?" Though Geet asked to provoke him, getting back on him for her earlier attitude but when he just blushed and looked away, She couldn't control her giggles anymore. "You are sooo CUTE" She said in between her giggles and Maan can't think of a moment, when he found, Geet more adorable than this.
The wedding day finally arrived. Sangeet and Mehndi was done on a small level in Maan's house. Shaina, Aditi and Muskaan were asked to shift in Maan's house by him. He actually forced them as he didn't want Geet to feel left alone. She didn't have any real close relatives but surly, his friends made up for that. Maan shifted into Aryan house for two days.
He was getting ready for the wedding. The white sherwani having silver crossed checked all over was giving a bright and handsome look to his already graceful body. Aryan knocked on the door and peek in. "Are you ready dulhay raja?" He said in a teasing tone while entering. Maan smiled widely at his friend's grinning face and apply perfume on his sherwani. "Yup, almost ready" He chirped. "Wah wah...you are quite handsome man...Geet will have a hard time to look down and act like an indian bride" He winked that made Maan's heart fluttered. He looked down imagining how this all will be like. Getting married to Geet was a dream, hr was seeing from the time, he fell in love with her, and today, he is going to fulfilled that dream. Aryan patted his back softly and looked at him with a bright happy smile. "I am so happy for you Maan...You deserved all this happiness and I am so happy, that Geet came into your life, to fill it with nothing else than the love, happiness and dreams." Maan turned back to look at his friend and enveloped him in a tight hug. "Thank you Aryan...Thank you for always being so supportive to me..." They break the hug and backed away but Maan still keep a hold on his shoulders. "I seriously don't know if i could have survive without you guys...The way you all helped me with Ananya, brought Bi into my life, helped me in business and in each step of my life...I could never pay you guys back and cant explain in words, that how much you guys mean to me" Maan was high on emotion and Aryan nodded his head, conveying that he understands. "We will always support you Maan...You are one of our best friends...You in a way helped us too with the job and also was a mean for all of us to stay together...isnt that enough" Aryan replied. The friends hugged once again before Aryan whispered. "Enough emotional dosage for today...Get a grip on yourself or it will seems like rather than Geet, you are bidding bye to your family" Maan chuckled and so does Aryan. "Whats going on here yaar?" Nitin asked as he entered the room, wearing dark nrown pant coat having a baby pink color shirt underneath. "Barat is ready to move and Maan still need to wear this turban" Nitin showed the turban he was holding a come to him. He placed the turban on Maan's head and adjusted the stole on his shoulders. "And yhis is from me and Aditi" Nitin took out a box that was holding a very nice antique broach with purple stones. Maan admired that as Nitin took it out and placed it on his turban. "Now its looking perfect" Aryan chimed as Nitin and Maan hugged. Bi called them from outside, asking them to come out as its time to leave.
Barat was welcomed with all drums and beats. Smriti tried to fulfill every ritual to its full, as much as her budget allowed. She break down the FD that Geet father left for her marriage. Though Maan tried to help as much as he got allowed by Smriti, but still, Smriti wanted to do everything on her own. Maan and his friends were lead to a separate sitting place where Aditi, Shaina and some other girls were ready to grill them.
Geet was all ready but her palms were all sweaty. She was ready, wearing her purple light red combo colored lehnfga. She did try to take deep breaths, but this anxiousness of her D-Day finally caught her now. She was all alone and was thinking that she might get unconscious in the mandap due to all this excitement when the girls entered with big grins. "Ahaan Janab...Someone is looking to excited to meet his bride" Aditi chirped making Geet blush. "Why not yaar...He barely saw her in last two days...Hayeee, Do din ki judai..." Muskaan said with a melodramatic tone, making all girls laugh. "Lets go madam, you have been called out" Shaina said, helping Geet stand up and setting her duppata, making more than half of her face covered with it. "What is this Shy? I can just see the floor" Geet asked with a confuse face. Shaina winked back and said, "A ritual, we just adding to get back on someone" With a wide grin she looked back at the two girls who said "PERFECT" while jumping with excitement. "Lets Go...Lets Go" Shaina said as Muskaan and Aditi hold her from other side and lead her out.
