Rakshak – Epilogue

Maan had his whole body weight on her soft bare body, her hands pinned on top of her head, his teeth nibbling and tasting her lips and then slowly trailing his wet lips down to the crook of her neck

“Maan – not fair. Let my hands go free” She wiggled in vain trying to get free from his strong clutch. Maan ignored her plea and kept going down with deep wet smooches on soft skin. As he reached her pink buds, he threw the duvet away, exposing her raw beauty to his hungary eyes

“Maan” Geet wiggled

“I know you are loving it. Stop complaining” he said looking at her flushed face. Took her buds between his lips, taking turns with them as his one hand went down, spreading legs apart and his fingers inside her core

“Maan, leave my hands,” Geet shouted and wiggled. Maan laughed and left her hands and before she could pounce on him, he pressed his lips on hers and then again, slowly trailed down his kisses all over her. Geet’s hands found it’s hold on his back, her nails dug on his back as he filled her front with his kisses. He swiftly turned her back and filled her back with a shower of kisses and soft bites.

Geet later pushed him on bed and like a lioness savored him. Her soft petals striking with his stone like body. Maan could take her sweet torture only for so long. His one move and she was again under him, his fingers playing with her core, his other hand on her bulges and he ended the game by pushing his hard erect inside her core.

Later, Maan was lying half on top of Geet. She was adoring his handsome face while he played along with her curls, his eyes fixed on her beautiful face

“Why are you looking at me so intensely?”  she asked with a smile, raising her eyebrows

“I am thinking of how everything has changed for me since you have come into my life. I would have never been able to find this side of me, had I not fallen in love with you. “

Later Maan gathered his clothes and while getting the clothes on him

“Jaana, you remember , you are heading for Handa Group annual meet, tomorrow”

“Yes, I do remember. Maan, why don’t you come as well. Dad, wants you to take over the company”

“I have never seen a person as extreme as your Dad. He went to extremes to separate us and now he wants me to take over the company. That is not possible”

“Why?”

“First, it is his hard work and his daughter should be handling it. I have my own company, expanding. Second, we have stakeholders whose sentiments can be hurt. They have been loyal to the Handa group. And Handa group means, Geet Handa. Such a decision can shake the share prices. Share prices are so sentiment driven. And in every way, it is your duty to keep it going along with your dad. I am always there to help out if needed or anytime you need my advice, but you are leading it. Additionally Jaan, I have already kept fifteen percent share in my hold. That is to ensure the financial backing of the company.”

“I know you other reason as well”

“Above are all the real reasons for the company’s perspective, you know, I want you to keep you connected with your Dad. Go work with him, keep him busy. Fight with him, shout at him, be good to him, show attitude, do whatever, keep his house lively. I don’t want the old man to sulk in loneliness”

*****

Maan had been busy on tour and Geet in the Handa Group annual  meeting.

Maan was back home after a completely hectic tour. Maan has invested Money in all different types of sectors. Whatever Maan touched earned him gold. He, as if had nerves of business in his hold. But in return it took his whole focus and dedication

****

Maan was pacing in the wide lobby of his upper floor. Restlessness in him can be felt by anyone. 

It so happened that Maan met his Mom after his return from business trip

“How are you Maa? Where’s Geet?”

“What? You did not talk with Geet?”

“No. My schedule did not leave me scope to breathe. Is she not back yet” he looked around to get the feel of his wife’s presence

“Not good, Maan. What’s this with you? This business has gone on your head above everything. You are already in top ten richest man of country list, now what more do you want”

“Mom, it’s not about the top ten or top five. It has become my passion and I am passionate to give my best to it. Geet understands this”

“And when will you understand her” she twisted his ears

“Aaah Maaa…” The servants moved here and there. Maan Khurana was the top name of the country but with his mother and wife , he was just the boy next door. Most of the time roaming around to please either one of them.

“But what held her for so many days?”

“Call her and find out, “ his mother said and left him on his own.

Maan decided to freshen up and then chat with his Jaan for hours.

“Hello Jaan”

“Now you are calling me? Did Mom tell you something?”

“Jaan, no Hi, no hello, no kisses… not fair to this small fragile heart” he complained. Very well aware that she must be upset with him, this was his way to calm her anger.

“Wow, janab ko baat kerne ki fursat mil gayi? When I called, what did I get – Geet, am very held up, will call you back. Did I get any?”

“Abhi ker raha hoon na” “Ohhh, after being back from the trip.”

“Jaana, I was really badly held up. You know how it gets”

“Yes, I know how it gets to become Maan Singh Khurana. Do you have any idea how I was dying to talk to you? I called you twice Maan, there had to be a reason. Have I ever called you during your critical business trips like this?”

“Jaana, what was the matter?”

“No, now I am not saying. Once I am back, I will let you know”

“I am coming to Mumbai” he declared  “Yes, why not, leave Mom alone there. Both of us are already away for so long but yes you can”she scolded him

“Damn Geet, I will not leave her and come. Please let me know the matter, please Jaan. I will compensate it all for you, I promise”

“No, I don’t feel like it. You spoilt the whole excitement around it”

“Jaan, you are now killing me with curiosity. What’s the matter”

“Okay, guess. Let me see if you can “

“You really are playing with my fragile heart. Okay, let me try. Handa Group got above fifty percent net profit growth this quarter“ Geet hit her head on the other side

“ You know Maan, you have become a hopeless case now. I regret the day I pushed you towards business “

“But now I am deep into it. Jaan. Will you please ??“

“ Okay, but you deserve a punishment, one for not picking my call and second for your pathetic guess”

“I am always ready for any punishment from you Jaan” he buttered her anger

“Okay, so after I give the news to you, we will only be talking once I am back after a week, and you are not allowed to leave Mom and come here leaving Mom”

“I  don’t get to  talk to you for a week? Jaan, that’s hard”

“Not for you, your work can easily keep you busy. Agree or not?”

“Tough punishment but if I have upset you this badly, I will take it with a promise that this won’t be repeated “

“Better. So here’s the news …” she paused, smiling to herself

“I am waiting..”

“ So the news is – we are pregnant “

“What?? Really?? Ohh My God, Geet” Maan jumped from his bed

Geet laughed at Maan’s reaction. She herself wanted to see his happiness. But then he deserve a small punishment for making her wait on the news

“Okay bye, as you promised, we will talk when I am back after a week”

“No Jaan, please tell me more” but she disconnected.

Since then, Maan had been pacing in the lobby as she delivered the exciting news, leaving him yearning for more. It felt like a feast had been laid out before a starving caveman, yet his hands were bound, unable to indulge.

And there came his Mom , smiling and approaching him. He knew, she was fully aware of his plight

“You had talk with Geet” she asked with a smile

“Maa, not fair. You two gang up against me. She gave me this news and now I cannot reach her nor talk to her”

“Do you understand how she must have felt when she wanted to give this news to you and you disconnected only to never call back?” Maan sighed, shook his head and left for his room.

That week felt like years to Maan. His Mom and Geet were talking, never placing the phone on speaker, rather avoided talking in front of him. And when he inquired, he got his mother’s smile in return.

Maan had a board meeting today and Geet was landing in the afternoon. He had wished to go to the airport to pick her but everything in the universe was delaying his seeing her.

Maan finished his board meeting and left the rest for his best man, Aditya, to handle.

Luckily, he reached home before Geet arrived. Maan was waiting in the hall when she appeared at the door. Without a second thought and without concern for his surroundings, he rushed to her, swept her into his arms, and carried her upstairs to their room.

“Maan, let me meet Geet” shouted Savitri Devi

“No, you both lost your chance.” and he kept taking his steps up to his room

“Maan, put me down”

“No. enough of your punishment. Now you see, how I punish you”

In their room, Maan placed her on the bed “Don’t move” he warned and went to close the door

When Maan turned, Geet was smiling at him. Maan tried giving her an angry intense gaze. But couldn’t hold that for long  as Geet ran and hugged him. Maan hugged her tight from her waist and swirled her in the air.

“damn, I am not going to leave you even for a second” and he placed a deep smooch on the side of her neck area, accessible to him

“I’m going to be a dad!” he shouted over and over, letting the news sink in. Maan’s lips trailed endless, fervent kisses over her skin as his hands eagerly undressed her, letting her dress slip to the floor in a heap. Left in nothing but her delicate lingerie, Geet found herself swept into his arms as he carried her to the bed.

Maan kissed and filled her with his touches on every inch of her delicate body. When he reached her abdomen, Maan could not stop from showering innumerable soft kisses there. He was doing what not to Geet, but she let him.  

They had passionate and longing filled love making sessions. It was only by evening that Geet finally got a chance to get out of their room. 

Savitri Devi’s world was filled with happiness. After years of suffering, her daughter in-law and son have ensured that she gets all the happiness. 

Geet was in hospital, in the labor room, Maan was pacing endlessly but Savitri Devi knew this is the beginning of their new family life where she will again enjoy the laughter of the baby, running behind the baby. Mohinder ji will also keep visiting and the house will come back to full life.

*****

Geet gave birth to a baby boy. They named him Abhimanyu.

After Abhi’s entry into their life – everyone’s lives changed for good. The house was never quiet. It was brimming with Abhi’s laughter, his cries, His dropping the stuff all over the mansion and servants kept busy fixing his mess. Mohinder’s visits to the Mansion increased because he could not stay away from the little boy for longer days.

 Savitri devi was one busy grandmother – who enjoyed each moment of pampering her grandson. 

As Abhi grew, Geet’s job only increased to keep the boy in discipline as both grandparents and Abhi’s Dad were all there to only spoil him. Maan was a super easy Dad. He loved spoiling his son. Abhi was his stress buster.

“Maan, you are spoiling him” Geet complained

“So???”

“He will turn out to be a bad boy,” Geet warned. Maan laughed

“Jaan, he is yet to turn even one. And I am going to spoil him. If you are worried, keep working on the other side”

Geet pouted. Maan looked at her

“What’s the problem?”

“He will end up hating only me. Because all of you will spoil him and I have to be hard task master”

“Does any man in this house have the power to love anyone above you? Your Dad, this little one or me? You can keep being hard on any of us, we can’t help but love you” Geet bit her lips with a smile

“That’s my magic” she shrugged her shoulders. It was then Abhi, who was in Maan’s lap started crying. Geet promptly took Abhi in her arms and he started giggling

“Got the proof. Happy” Maan pulled her in his arms

“Love You!!” Geet said snuggling in his arms

“Love you both!!” Maan said and placed a kiss on Geet’s forehead and next on Abhi’s forehead.
