OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Part 10

NOTE: A long part again. there is more to this night. it will come in the next part. Happy Reading.

Next few days were not so eventful. Geet whenever passed by, Maan would feel awkward by her boldness that day. She thought often, that he didn't yell at her infact teased her or did he really think she is lesbian. Questions kept coming and going from her mind. She would look at him through the corner of her eye, when she saw him in room or on dinning table but wouldnt utter a word. Sometimes she even let a small smile creep on her face but wouldnt dare to show it to him. His was in a similar state, he had started acknowledging her presence, her movements in the house. Her routine was also being enlisted in his mind. He had never blinked at her activities so his mind was quite oblivious to her presence in the house for past 6 months. So he never realised her presence. Now when his mind was open to her he would keenly observe her whenever she happened to be infront of him. He would often steal glances at her when she ate with him.

However, their encounters were few. So the acquaintance was still less.

-----------------

That day geet hurried to college. As she got up late and she had to be early to check some materials in the library. Geet had been given assignment in college in groups of three. Their group had Nuts, Veer and Geet. They had no hopes from Veer as he was busy that weekend with some relatives. The two of them had to work for three. The project was given by Proff Kapoor whom they often called Pantaloon. So this Mr pantaloons was quite strict and perfectionist. He gave the assignment just yesterday and wanted it to be submitted tomorrow only. Nuts and geet were punctual and never sloppy in their work, this time also had a reputation to maintain. But this assignment was tough as they had not been taught many portions of it but who would question pantaloon. Geet went to the library and then to her class.

Maan also went to his office a little before time as he had a meeting at 9. He too missed daadi on breakfast. He inquired from Nakul who said that daadi said she would have it after sometime. He thought it to be a casual delay she had wanted and ignored.

At around 11, maan was busy in an office meeting, listening to a presentation. His phone buzzed as it was on silent. To his surprise, It was nakul from home. He never called him, so if he did it meant emergency. Maan asked to take a break and received the phone.

Maan- Hello

Nakul- Sir, daadi is sick. We have called the Doctor.

Maan- I will be right there. It is not something to worry?

Nakul- Its fever.

Maan immediately cancelled all his appointments for the day and sped for home. He reached and found daadi was lying on bed. She had a little fever but at her age its weakening. Dev and Naintara had woken up and were standing by the bed. Maan never relied on them with daadi's health. Infact he took care of her whenever she had been sick.

Doc- Maan relax, she is fine. Just viral. Can you please call Geet. I need to talk to her.

He was his family doctor Dr. M. Singh, taking care of the family through the years, knowing each one. But when did he meet geet was not known to him and why does he want her here. He is the one required and he is here to take care of daadi. Geet may be close to daadi but with him no one is needed by his daadi.

Maan in a manner to dismiss the issue. She will come. Can you give me the details of daadi's health?

Dr- That's why I wished to talk to her. Some old medicines need to be changed and she deals with all these things. She is very sincere about biji's health. Her phone is switched off. I have tried it myself so many times. Do you have any other no. of hers? Saying this he started dialling Geet's no. from his mobile.
