Inseparable hearts (Maaneet Version)

Chapter 11

Maan was taken aback with Rashmi's reply.

'What?'

'Yes Maan! this is your baby!'

'Rashmi! are you nuts?' 'How come I have a baby?' Maan was puzzled.

'This is your daughter Maan. Geet & yours.' Finally Rashmi blurted out the truth. Maan couldn't believe it.

'What?' 'How come Geet...?' Maan was dumbstruck. He was puzzled & shocked.

Then Rashmi revealed the whole story how Geet had been hiding everything from him. She further stated out that Geet passed away 2 days after the delivery due to so many complications. That news shocked Maan. He couldn't believe that his Geet is no more.

Maan blasted out Rashmi for talking rubbish. He was not ready to accept Geet's death. He broke down completely. He wanted to go back to her. He dialed Geet's number over & over again but it was out of service. He wanted to go to Pune. He was behaving like a lunatic, not ready to accept Geet's death. Rashmi & Mihir tried to calm him down.

Maan felt suffocated. He was dumbstruck. This was like a nightmare. He never thought that he would loose Geet. He recalled the memories with her. It moisturized his eyes with tears. He flash backed the romantic night he had with her. He was feeling guilty. He was feeling guilty that he is indirectly responsible for Geet's death. He was puzzled why Geet hid everything from him. Though Rashmi explained that Geet never wanted him to affect his studies, Maan was surprised why she hid everything from him though she used to be in touch with him. They couldn't keep in touch with each other only in the last 3 months.

He looked at his baby. She was in Rashmi's arms. The little one was looking at him with wide eyes. He saw Geet in her. His baby girl has beautiful hazel brown eyes & a milky white face like Geet. The poor little soul has lost her mother after birth. She didn't have anyone in this world, except her father. He took his baby girl on his arms gently.

A smile crept in Maan's face after seeing his baby girl. It was mixed with the pain of loosing Geet & the pride of being a father. He couldn't express his feelings. His Geet was carrying his baby for 9 months, without even letting him know. She had to bear up all the pains alone while giving birth to his baby. He chided the destiny for snatching his Geet away. He felt miserable. Geet was his life. Geet has left , leaving another life. Leaving their symbol of love.

Tears started rolling down his eyes. Geet has left a priceless possession. Their baby girl is the only sign that is left out as Geet's. Maan's tear drop was fallen on to the baby's face. The baby started smiling. It seemed like she has identified her father. Maan planted a soft kiss on his new born's tiny forehead. She was soft like a cotton ball & fragile like a little doll. He showered her with some more kisses. It was quite emotional.

Maan thanked Rashmi for taking care of his baby girl for the past week. Rashmi stated that Raj is extremely pissed off with Maan. She further lied that Raj was about to kill the baby after the birth & she somehow could save the baby. She warned him not to even go to meet Raj as he is so furious about Geet's death & he will kill of both Maan & the baby for messing up his daughter's life. Maan wanted to talk to Geet's grandmother but that attempt was trickfully avoided by Rashmi.

Rashmi started her mission. The first step was done. The baby was given to Maan. The only medium she could get close to Maan was the baby. She didn't try to get close to him at once, as that would make him doubt. She sought help from Maan's father Mihir. She could impress Mihir by her actions. Mihir really liked her. He was blindfolded by her fake personality. He thought that Rashmi will be the ideal life partner for his son & also she could be a mother for his granddaughter.
