Chapter 2
G- I dressed up as a âManâ not a boy
M- Whatever, you still looked like a 15-year boy. That was embarrassing for me to sneakily meet a 15-year-old boy in a forest
He says dryly as Geet tries to suppress her laughter
Both of them were those happy after so longâŚso very longâŚmaybe an eternity
Maan comes closer to kiss Geet
She stops him
G- Arre office hai!
M- Toh ghar chalein?
G- Abhi?
M- Haan, waise bhi ab kaam ka mann nahi aur nanu and sis se bhi toh tumhe milaana hai
Maan walks out of his cabin proudly holding Geetâs hand in his
Geetâs hear feels elated
This is all surreal to her
They walk towards his Porche and Maan sits on the driving seat while starting the car
Maanâs take the long and scenic route among the Ocean side
The cool Ocean breeze is kissing Geetâs soft cheeks
Geet thinks in her heart that this man has everything that money can buy and also in terms of looks and Intelligence then why is he still with her, that too even after 5 years
But his presence is such that it automatically brings a smile on her face and the scenic view and the beautiful Greek island are just making everything all the more perfect
M-Geet
She comes out her thought as Maan takes her name
M- Ghar mein sab kaise hain?
G- sab theek hain. You know naaâŚ.unse mera zyada kuch acha relation raha nahi as they are very much close to Akhil and his family
Maan sighs
G- But haan, meri sister Meher ki shaadi pakki ho gai hai
M- Haan pata lagaya maineâŚVarun naaâŚladka acha hai
Geet nods
They reach his beautiful mansion
Itâs an Ocean facing beautiful piece of art with huge gardens, pools and even a private beach
Inside the mansion everything is aesthetically perfect
The ceilings almost reach the sky and they even have chandeliers
Geet had only read about these kind of homes
She always thought Akhilâs house was big but this house could accommodate 10 of the Akhilâs homes
She was feeling tad nervous with all the richness
But one look at Maanâs face who was brimming with happiness she could feel at ease, his presence would bring her back to the known familiarity
They cross a huge hall and and climb a huge staircase to reach one of the rooms with a strong and exquisite wooden door
M- Welcome to my roomâŚ..sorry my madameâŚ.our room
He says while bowing to her
She walks into a room which was as big as her whole house
The room even had two sections
Maan plopped on the bed which might be having 3 mattresses and was soft like feather and drags her along too
The room had huge French windows and a balcony facing the blue ocean
As she sits, he keeps his head on her lap and comfortablyl ays down after removing his tie and coat
She notices a photo collage of the goofy pics they clicked during their picnic while she lived in his house on his bed stand
She is looking at him as he lays on her lap with his eyes closed
It looks like he has attained all the peace and calm of the universe
She couldnât help her smile from creeping on her lips and also, she is unable to help her heart from overflowing with love
She is intently looking at him and thinking of the time when he was disguised and he used to nag him to change his look
She ruffles his hair and says
G- Kaha than naa iss look mein better lagte ho
He groans
M-Hmm
He is too comfortable to even reply
A maid comes and knocks on the door saying that the lunch is served
Mann gets up
M- Chalo Geet lunch kar lete hain aur sab se mil bhi lena
She nods feeling a little nervous
As she walks into the dining room
She could see a huge dining table with around 16 hardwood chairs with silverware on them
She notices an old man sitting on the chair
The man has a full white beard
The man is not like any other old men, she expected him to be a chubby short old man like any other nanaji and dadajis but he was a tall stout man.
He resembled Mana so much that she could even imagine that how would Maan look when he gets older
On another side near the old man is a girl on a wheelchair
She must be in her late 20âs
She must be Maanâs sister, Geet thinks
M- Geet this is my family
The old man and the young girl look up to look at Geet
She is feeling conscious with those yes on her
She is feeling judged and ranked
M- This is my grandpa
She lowers her head with respect and says
G- HelloâŚ.
With a pause she adds
G- Sir
Coz she is confused what to call Maanâs grandfather and also, he looked very strict and stoic
But his one warm smile changes all her apprehensions about him
His smile his just like Maanâs, just changes his whole facea nd he has a genuine warmth and care in his eyes too
G- And then here is my sweet sis Charu
Geet looks and Charu and gives her a huge grin but is only returned a plastic smile
Geet feels something is not right but canât exactly put a finger what
