PART 44

As Maan's arms stretched ...Geet tugged at his hand and arm.. Tugged that under her head...

Shocked at the touch.. Maan looked at the side, realizing that she had asked him to sleep over there on his bed.. Sighed and tried to snap but she didn't leave his arm..and he didn't try hard after that .. since she too looked tired .. Another sigh, and Maan slept, landing his one arm to his wife... for the comfort..

Morning

Geet opened her eyes and turned on the side..Her eyes widened, looking at the sight and the close proximity..she was sharing with her Hubby Khurrana-now for the second time, first was at that Holi Night...

His face was mere inches away from hers, she noticed his arm, that was under her head, tucked softly.. and he was hugging her, with his other free hand...

Geet(ST):- oh no !! How did I land in this position??and moreover why he didn't object???why is he hugging me like that??If he came to know .. (Her fearful thoughts flew away when she saw his handsome face) So calm... so serene... and Beautiful... Yes!! I have to admit, he is beautiful... Hmm, he has dashing style.. and marvelous angry young man personality...Hmm!! Must say Baat tou hai bande mein... (she giggled) My Friends aren't gaga over him for nothing ..(She looked at his arm) He is sweet too...coz he didn't snap at me..Hmm.. that's why I slept peacefully... shoo shweet,.. thank you...

She would have dreamt and admired him more, with her open eyes, If Maan hadn't opened his eyes.. and looked at her, leaning on his face.. Too close... for his own comfort..

Maan looked away, freeing her from his hug.. got down from bed.. Glancing at the wall clock.. was surprised that he slept..more than his usual time.. that too peacefully... after lots of restless nights...

Geet(after a little silence):- Sorry!! Wo, I didn't realize when I kept my head on your arm.. in my sleep..

Maan:- uhh!! That's fine.. (he was short.. and was almost heading to restroom but then thought something.. turned to face her) You mind, if I use restroom first ???Am getting late so????

Geet(was startled hearing him):- Its.. Its ok...

Both were surprised ... Maan was more...

Maan(ST):- what the heck!! why was I.. Seeking her permission... for using my own restroom..???Never did that before, Why today??? Get a grip on yourself Maan.. you are losing ... (Geet saw him going to the restroom and she smiled)

Geet(ST):- Haww!! what was that.. He was so sweet.. Hayee!! Dreamy!!Isn't it?? Hmm, I like this side of yours, Mr Hubby Khurrana..Caring.. Not that rude DD..(she looked at the clock and was shocked) Oh no... Am getting late for my exam today... Need to rush...

In a haste, Geet got ready and had her breakfast, while revising the subject topics...she was so much tensed but Dadimaa's soothing words were enough to relax her...

Dadimaa:- Geet Beta... Don't worry...Eat peacefully Beta.. You will do good...

Geet:- Hope so dadi... Don't like these BCQ's and MCQ's ...and Don't worry am peacefully eating...

Dadimaa smiled and shook her head at the child, who was complaining for her study.. when on the other hand she was very bold, mature and determined mother..to get Avi back, at any cost... But well, she was a child in the elderly lady's eyes... but her Maan's wife too...

Dev:- Bhabhi, you are getting late...

Geet(took a few bites in a go and said):- Bye dadimaa,bye papaji... am going .. Pray for me ... (and she left from there)

Yash(smiled):- sometimes, I just don't get this child...

All the while, Maan watched his so called wife ... and heard the on-going talks, with least interest... But in actual he was having his ears on Geet's each word..

Maan(cleared his throat and then asked):-Umm.. Dadimaa, when her exams are finishing ???

Yash(with a teasing smile):- Ask yourself...

Maan sighed and looked down to his plate... Dadimaa made a face at her son's mischievous stare at Maan.. and then smilingly she said..

Dadimaa:- Just 2 are left... in the mid of next week...she will be free...

Maan nodded nonchalantly and had his remaining BF, averting his eyes from the piercing gaze of his father and brother...who looked at him curiously...

After Getting ready for office, Maan was abt to sit in the car..when he got a call...

Amit:- GM Mr Khurrana...

Maan:- GM...

Amit:- uhh! Sir, Have called you to let you know that the court has decided a date for next hearing ... of our case... Its in the next week's Thursday...

Maan:- Alright.. thanks Mr kumar...

Amit:- That's my job sir..

And the call was cut.. Maan sighed in relaxation... and thought to tell his family members , once he reaches his office ...

But on his way , his car had come across an accident and Maan was injured.. Was hospitalized and then a call from reception .. Yash and Dev rushed to hospital...

Dr:- Its nothing to worry Mr khurrana... His legs are most affected as of now..particularly the left one.. Just a couple of days of bed rest .. and he will be fit and fine ...

Maan:- Am already fine Dr ...

Yash:- Maan , plz let us talk to him first ...(His dad knew he had works lined up and that would not let Maan rest here in peace ..)

Maan:- Dad plz... It was just a minor accident... (But Dev was thinking something else)

Dev:- But bro, what if, it was planned ???

Maan:- Dev, you are overreacting ... There's nothing ... Just, that driver didn't see the car coming from the left side and so that was a hit ... nothing else...Am perfectly fine... Dad Plz...

Yash sighed seeing his son's pleading looks.. and signaled the Dr to come out ... as he had to get ready the discharge papers

Evening...

After finishing the formalities ... Maan was brought back to KM.. By then Geet came home and got to know abt that ... she was worried and as she heard voices .. she rushed to the main door and hugged Maan... Who was leaning on Dev's shoulder...

All smiled in delight, looking at her act, despite of the painful situation...Geet forgot the ppl around her and Maan... and just hugged smiling that her Hubby Khurrana was safe and back at home...

But Maan, was shocked... She was behaving weirdly nowadays... and that was not understandable for Maan...

After a a little-not-so-evident-push of Maan's hand on her back she parted away and looked at his leg that was almost bandaged till his knee...

Geet:- you ok??? (she asked in worrisome)

Maan:- Hmm... Am fine ...

Yash:- Dev, take Maan to upstairs ...

Geet:- Will just bring juice... (Saying that she rushed inside)

Maan:- No.. there's ... (but she already was out of his sight) No need... (He shook his head... and with Dev's support headed to his room)

After 10 mints ... Maaneet were alone in their room... Maan thought to ask her abt her weird behavior...

Maan:- what was that ???

Geet:- Hmm?? what ???

Maan:- Down there.. .Hugs and cries ???

Geet:- I was worried ...and tensed ...

Maan:- Yeah Right Tensed...that what would have happened to your Avi if I got dead...

Geet(kept her hand over his mouth.. with a gasp):-How can you even think like that ??? Never say that again... We might not be sharing any relation... But you are my husband ... and you also can't deny that fact...

Maan(looked at her in seriousness):- Don't tell me, you have developed some feelings for me???? I don't want any complications Geet...

Geet looked down but didn't answer... But Maan got her answer.. The silence is the best answer to any question... She looked at him after a mint.. and nodded ... then silently went out ... Leaving Maan shocked and astonished at her straight forward words of ...confession...
