Chapter Fourteen: Jealousy Games
Maan looked
at himself in the mirror & was very much impressed. He was wearing the
shervani designed by Geet & he had to admit that she had done a brilliant
job!
He saw Geet
entering the room through the mirror. As he turned to face her, she was left
awestruck. Her hazels scrutinized him from head to toe & Damn! Maan was
looking exceedingly handsome more than she had ever imagined him to be in that
outfit! And the gel applied perfectly to his hair only enriched his
irresistible features!
On the other hand,
Geet wore pink ghagra-choli with matching silver accessories. The kohl that
highlighted her eyelashes gave a teaser of how deep & beautiful her eyes
were. Maan had to admit for the nth time that she was looking extremely
gorgeous.
Geet knew Maan
loved the shervani designed by her & that made her feel an unfelt joy in
her heart.
"So, I
think you really appreciated what I made for you!"
"Not
really. Infact, this shervani is looking good because I'm good looking!" he taunted.
She frowned.
"The
photographer is on his way. Don't give gay type poses in front of the
camera!"
He glared at her
angrily hearing the snappy remark.
"Excuse
me??Say sorry to me RIGHT NOW!!!!, else I am not doing the photoshoot for
you!!!!!" he blackmailed.
"Oh hello!!
The word 'Sorry' doesn't exist in my dictionary any more for you!!!" she snorted.
"Then
upgrade your stupid dictionary and also upgrade your little brain!!!!" he retorted.
Now she was really
angry.
"YOU----"
She was just about
to fire at him when they heard the doorbell ring. The photographer had arrived.
So they were forced to postpone their fights.
To begin with, the
photographer first took only Maan's pictures. Geet was impressed by the killer
looks that her hubby gave & his complimenting body language. He was posing
really good just like any professional model. One thing was true, Maan had really
practiced a lot for her...!
Then the lights
were changed & a romantic ambience was created, also by using a fan for
artificial breeze. Geet was supposed to shoot with him now.
The first pose needed Geet to hug
Maan from behind. As soon as she did so, Maan found his heart beats turning on
ruthlessly & her breaths became shallow...Next, Maan had to hold his wife
in RK-pose. He did so & her heart strings fluttered feeling his hand around
her waist...
They were so much
lost into each other that photographer had to actually call out to them after
he was done clicking their photo!
For the third
pose, Maan was to hold Geet's hand & kiss it. He took her hand in his and
the way he looked at her fluttered her heart strings. She thought he was acting
but he wasn't, perhaps... His heart thudded violently when his lips kissed her
soft fingers...!
Last pose required
Maan to scoop Geet in his arms...!Now, she thought that Maan would refuse
flatly to do that & even Geet mentally coaxed herself that she doesn't want
to be in his arms. Her heart skipped a high beat & her shocked expressions
met his intent ones when he actually lifted her in his arms...! Both of them
were again lost, staring at each other. He didn't know what was happening with
him. The last time, he had carried Geet in his arms was on their wedding night
while taking her to his room. That time, he had to do so against his wishes but
now he didn't mind scooping her in his arms...And Geet too felt so
comfortable & cozy being in his arms...
And that's how the
photoshoot was completed!
And after that, a
series of awkward moments started. So to avoid that, they kept to themselves
& avoided speaking or rather fighting with each other.
The next day was a
Sunday. When Maan walked into the kitchen, he (un)fortunately came face to face
Geet. Both of them diverted their eyes from each other.
"What are
you doing over here??" he asked even when he was making tea for
herself.
"Playing
football. Any problem?" she replied sarcastically & then
mentally smacked her head.
"Listen I
know your general knowledge sucks!!! Let me tell you that football requires
eleven players!!!!"
She frowned.
"Woh kya
hai na, I don't want you to kick the ball. What if you twist your lousy leg in
that process??" she taunted.
He glared at her.
"Excuse
me?? Do you think my leg is made of paper!!!!! My leg is made of human skin
& bones like any other normal leg!!!"
"Oh
hello!!! I am not a doctor that you're revealing the biology of your leg to
me!!!!!" she snorted.
"You know
what, you should visit a psychiatrist!!!" he sneered.
Now Geet was red
in rage.
"Why don't
you find a kingsize room in a mental asylum for yourself!!!!!"
Both of them
glared at each other angrily & walked away!
Geet sat down for
studies as exams were round the corner while Maan sat with his laptop to do
some work. Both were in their respective rooms. After a few hours, Geet headed
to the kitchen to make another cup of tea.
"Umm...I
think should make a cup of coffee for Maan as well!"
When she was
passing by his room, she heard him talking on phone with someone.
"You're
coming to Singapore next month?? That's great Sharanya!!!! I am waiting
yaar!!!!" he exclaimed in delight.
Geet overheard
that. And she felt an arrow digging a hole in her heart. Anger of jealousy
seethed inside her. She felt like snatching the phone from his hand & throw
it miles away. Geet always thought of asking Maan about Sharanya but refrained
from doing so everytime thinking there was no reason why she should be affected
if he talked to someone else.
But her heart
didn't agree an inch with her mind. Maan was still talking to Sharanya. Not
able to take that anymore, Geet marched towards him & took the phone from
his hand, disconnecting the call. That startled Maan.
"What are
you doing??!! Give me phone back!"
"Woh... I
was thinking why don't we go for shopping today." her eyes were dowmcasr
Maan's eyes grew
wide in surprise.
"You want
to go shopping & that too with me??? Did you have a fight with Lorraine?
" he
didn't know what else to say.
She frowned &
he agreed as he had no reasons to deny!
On the other hand,
Sharanya was startled too.
"He cut
my call?? He never does that. Now toh he has to manofy me, mujhe kuch nahi
pata!" she smiled gleefully.
It was evening
when Maan & Geet went to a mall. Maan knew Geet loved shopping & she
always went with Lorry. Even though Maan disliked shopping, sometimes he
unconsciously wished Geet would ask him to accompany her instead! And today
finally was the day! As for Geet, she wanted him to be near her & not
anyone else. Also the fact that Sharanya would be coming there soon didn't go
down well with Geet.
But as it's
always said, something never change! And as usual, Maan & Geet were quick
to get into whispering arguments. They made use of every chance to taunt each
other!
For example, when
Maan was contemplating trying out a shirt, Geet remarked.
"Yeah!
Since blackmailing is your hobby , black shirt is perfect for you!"
He frowned &
she gave a teasing look.
And when Geet was
thinking of buying a dark red nail paint, Maan remarked.
"Don't you
think you will look like a witch if you put this?"
Geet glared at him
& he smirked.
Then they went to
buy pillows along with bedsheets since they had ruined all the pillows that
they had in pillow-fighting!
Next, they went to
a grocery store. Even there, they argued with each other!
"Oh hello!
Have you forgotten what potatoes look like that you want to buy so many
potatoes!!!!!!"
"Excuse
me?? And are you planning to stitch a dress made of onion that you want to buy
so many onions!!!!!!"
So in this way,
their shopping was finally completely & they headed back home. It was
night.
They met Mrs D'
costa as they were just about to enter their house. And as expected, Maan had
to kiss Geet on her cheeks.
The landlady was
delighted even though she complained that she didn't get to see a liplock
between them even after so many months! Maan & Geet glanced sideways. They
were still not expert in dodging Mrs D'costa questions!
Mrs D'costa
noticed the pillows & bedsheets that they had carried along.
"Ah! Both
of you may be so wild in bed that pillows have to burn in your heat!" she exclaimed mischievously.
Maan & Geet
were dumbfounded hearing that!
"Woh...we
use pillows in the kitchen not bedroom!" Maan replied bluntly.
Mrs Dcosta raised
her eyebrows. Geet excused & dragged Maan inside the house along with
herself! Phew!
