Inseparable hearts (Maaneet Version)

Chapter 07

The sun shined in the sky fading away the rainy weather which lasted for nearly 8 hours. The environment was covered with a milky white mist. The window glasses in Maan's SUV were fogged. The two love birds were sleeping on each other's arms after a tiresome love making session last night. Geet was snuggled up to Maan. Maan has wrapped his arms around her protectively.

Maan opened his eyes slowly. A smile crept on his face after seeing the sleeping beauty beside him. She looked so cute while sleeping. He caressed her face gently. Geet too opened her eyes yawning. Both smiled at each other. A silence crept between them, a silence of happiness with a ray of hope for a beautiful future.

'You look beautiful' Maan started caressing her hair. Geet was blushing. She covered her bare upper body with her hands. Maan planted a kiss on her forehead.

'Maan... you will be with me na? forever?' Geet questioned her like a cute little kid. She held his hand tightly. She placed a gentle kiss on his hand.

'I promise Geet. I will be with you. Nobody could separate us.' Maan cupped her face. They shared an intense eye lock. Maan suddenly took off this hands off from Geet. Geet was confused. Maan's facial expressions changed suddenly.

'Maan? why? are you okay?' Geet inquired.

'Geet.. Geet I'm sorry.' Geet was confused with his sudden apology.

'Sorry? about what Maan?'

'Yeah I'm sorry. Geet, we shouldn't have done this.' Maan was guilty of what happened last night.

'Maan, are you talking about..um.. last night?'

'Hmm.'

'Geet. I feel like I have committed something major, which we should have waited till our marriage. I'm feeling guilty.'

'Maan..' Geet cupped his face. 'You didn't force yourself on me. Both of us know it happened with our consent.'

'But Geet...'

'No Maan..! please. Don't worry about it. I know you will always be with me. We can win this battle.'

'Geet.. but I feel like I have indirectly encouraged you to exceed your freedom. We have broke your Nani's trust.' Maan was feeling guilty. That words hit Geet deeply. She realized that she has broke her grandmother's trust. A tear dropped from her eyes.

'Geet...' Maan looked at her helplessly. Geet wiped her tears quickly.

'Geet. we should have controlled ourselves.'

'Maan.. I understand what you are trying to say. We may have done something we have shouldn't done so soon, but please stop thinking like we have committed a crime.' Geet tried to console him.

'Geet getting married can be done anytime. Even today. Love may be enough for a marriage according to some, but it is not practical. Before anything, we should be stable in our careers. Without it we cannot lead a comfortable life. I want to treat you as a queen, Geet.'

'Maan.. marriage is just a legalized relationship.'

'No Geet. You are wrong. It's far more complicated. Marriage is sacred. Most importantly it is the foundation of a family. You haven't associated with the society as much as me. You will be mature with your perspectives with the time.'

'Geet, we will have to wait for our marriage till I establish as a good architect. I will have to work hard to earn money. I want to give you a comfortable life. We have to think about our future & plan it.'

'I know Maan. I can understand. I will wait for you no matter how much time it takes. But I am afraid of my family. What if they tries to get me married for someone else? You know that my father hates you. He won't let us unite.'
