Chapter 13
6 months passed and their relationship changed from enemies to friends. Now Maan had started to spend time with her.. he didn't spend weekends with his friend or some time Riddimma n Armaan joined them in apartment only.
Nisha asked sorry and Maan.!!! being a soft human being, forget everything and continue his friendship with same dedication.
Geet was waiting from morning for him to wish her.. a small wish for their anniversary.. which will be enough for her but seems like he doesn't even remember it also, which turned her sad. She thought to wish him herself but take a step back unsure about his reaction again to make the remember the day of their marriage.
Maan comes out from the washroom whilst drying his hair with towel and said in his usual baritone... unknown to the turmoil of his wifey.
"Aaj movie jaane ka plane hai mera or mere friends kaa.. sahi 8 baje" Maan said whilst looking something in his cupboard.
"(Today me and my friends are going out to watch a movie.. right 8'o clock at evening)"
"Jii.. kab tak lutu gai" geet asked.
"(K.. when will you return?)"
"Kab tak lutu gaa matlab.. tum nahi chalogi" Maan turned with frown.
"(When will I return.. means.. are you not coming)"
Geet sniffed "umm.. nahi.. mai nahi aaugi".. and stole her gaze from him.
"(Umm.. no.. I wouldn't come)"
"Abb ye kya natak hai.. tum aa rahi hu mere saath.. warna bas muka chahiye tumhe tu.. meri shikyat karne kaa maa se" he murmured.
"(Now what is this new drama.. yes you are coming or else you just need a chance to complain to mom for anything or everything)"
"Maine tu aaj tak kuch nahi kaha maa ko" Geet's answer startled Maan.. and he fumbled..
"(But I never say anything to mom)"
"haa vo tu abb kaho gii naa.. maine muka hii nahi diya".
"(Yaa.. but I also didn't give you chance.. now you will surely complain)"
"Nahi kahu gii.. app jao" Geet said and left the room.
"(Wouldn't say.. you may go)"
"Abb isse kya hu gaya.. god.. ladki n aafat.. same words.. you know" he murmured but didn't notice hidden tears of Geet. Which are still there because of his ignorant behaviour toward their first marriage anniversary.. when her husband was oblivious from all this.
"(Now what happened to her.. god.. girls and problems... same words you know)"
"Geet !!! What is this new drama yaar????" he said in agitated tone but sighed to see Geet had left the room beforehand.
He glanced here and there and found her in the balcony where she is watering to the plant.
"Agar ye angrezi gitter pitter band karke, hindi mai baat karnge tu accha hoga" geet shoot a glare to him and made him rolled his eye in sarcasm.
"(It will be good if he kept his chatter- patter in HIndi)"
"Tu suno or clear hindi mai... tum mere saath aa rahi hu aaj, movie dekhne..." geet try to argue but he hurriedly cut her..
('Than hear me in clear Hindi babes... you are coming with me for movie")
"Koi bhana nahi" he said and left from there with a lopsided smile whilst geet just forget all her pain in anger.
"(and No more argument)"
Maan literally had pushed her to get ready fast or else, Geet has her own plan to avoid being with him, when he doesn't even consider their first anniversary. It's paining a lot through she doesn't expect anything from him but little acknowledgement for their relation wouldn't harm his independence for sure.
************
Somehow Maan made her agree to come with him but found her aloof from the world, but something or other thing distracted him before, he asked... what is bothering Geet or why she is so sad today?
Maan n geet reached to their desire destination and wait for other members as they are late from their decided time but no one is at fault, outside Rain is falling heavily and some roads are blocked due to water clogging.
Maan escorted her a near by cafe and both take off their rain coat but chilly gushes are sending shiver in their body and Geet clinged to Maan. Maan chuckled to see her effort to save herself from chilly weather and take off his leather jacket and before taking a table in cafe, he covered her properly himself, when for a moment their eye met but Maan felt her eyes are bolted with so many emotions like they are expecting something very big from him, which is still hidden desire for her, both are disturbed by a waitress, who just come to take order and gave a smile to Maan.
Maan turned his attention to geet and asked in his usual baritone.
"Geet... !!! Coffee yaa hot chocolate"
("What would you like.. coffee or hot chocolate")
His question made Geet to come back in the reality, where her husband doesn't bother about their first anniversary too. She felt a lump in her throat but her eye doesn't pass any emotion to Maan.
"Nahi.. kuch nahi chahiye" she spoke in her cold and vacant tone and stole her eye from him.
("No.. I don't want anything")
Maan felt a rage in him because of her indifference behavior from morning but first decided to place the order and get rid of piercing eye of waitress.
"One black coffee and one hot chocolate with cookies.."
"Sure sir.. anything else" waitress spoke in cheesy tone.
"No thanks.. please bring it for now" Maan said and finally waitress left them alone.
"Apne.. hot.." before Geet put her confused thoughts in words, her speech is cut by an angry Maan..
"Tumhari problem kya hai.. subha se attitude de rahi hu.. yeha anne ko bola mana kar diya.. abb thand lage rahi hai but hot chocolate nahi chahiye.. tum saaf saaf kyu nahi bolti.. kya chahiye tumhe" Maan is really irritated with her mystery behavior.
"(what is your problem exactly Geet..?? I am seeing from morning... everytime i am talking... you are giving me attitue... when i asked for movie and now here even over hot chocolate... why dont you clearly tell me... what you want exactly??)"
Geet's eye burned with fresh layer of tears but her anger wasn't in her control anymore specially after his outburst...
"App hu meri problem.. samjhe app" she is little loud which earned few glances from around. Maan glared Geet for creating a unnecessary scene but she just rose from her chair and left the cafe.
"(you are my problem... do you understand...?? you are the problem)"
Maan was little stunned because from last 6 months, he had never seen this Geet. He followed her and found her entering a temple which was next to multiplex.
He jogged to reach her and sat next to her over temple staircase. He sighed to see her wet eye and decided to take the matter slowly without scolding her or scream at her.
He pull out his handkerchief from the jeans pocket and spread his palm in front her but instead of giving in.. Geet just turned her face and wiped her wet cheeks with back of her palm and composed herself for the rest of evening.
Before Maan says something, his phone loud ring disturbed them.
"Nahi.. we reached.." Maan spoke over phone.
After few second pause he again spoke "just wait 5 minutes and I will be there.." and finally he cut the call and keep the mobile back in his pocket.
"chale geet... !!! Rahul n Nisha cafe mai wait kar rahe hai."
("Chale Geet... !!! Rahul n nisha reached and waiting for us in cafe").
Geet nodded positively and rose from her place, when Maan clenched her wrist and climbed down the slippery stairs carefully.
"I know.. Geet... something is bothering you from morning... but I will wait for you to open up to me with your own will and trust me enough to share your emotions with me as well" Maan thought and take a glance over his wife, who had plastered a fake smile for the world but he could able to see turmoil behind her smile very well.
***********
Maan n Geet took their place in front of Rahul n Nisha, and the casual talks startedbetween Maan n his friend naturally but his one arm was around Geet's shoulder as well and holding her securely... which looks so natural and loveable action by Maan to claim his possession or lady love and Nisha felt pure jealous.
"I have everything.. which Maan deserved for sure but still, Geet you are the one who had snatched my Maan and manipulate him as well.. I will make you pay for all cunningness and that's a promise" her thoughts was going wild..
"Nisha.. !! Are you fine??" Maan asked with concern as he noticed her tight grip around tissue paper.
"Yaa Maan.. I am very well fine... so what were you saying??" Her face immediately plastered with a smile.
"Now I am sure... you are not well Nisha because it's not Maan but me... who was telling about the new assignment" Rahul smirked at Nisha uneasy expression.
"Just shut up... you dog" Nisha snapped but stopped
And there conversation was interrupted by loud ringing sound of Maan's mobile.
*********
Precap- Maan left Geet with Nisha alone... but why??
