CHAPTER-55
Next-day! Armaan moved to garage hurriedly as he is late. Shree who was watching him, "Sir! Humhe bhi chalna chahiye! Der horahe!" Saying he ran to his bike confusing others.
Armaan who had not noticed the tyres started engine but the car not moving forward, "isse kya hua?"
Shree who was looking at him smirked, "abh jayiye hospital!" and left from there. Armaan looking out through window, cursed coming outside. The air from four tyres is removed, knew who was behind it shouted, "Shree!! Shree!"
Servants who listened to him came running, "Shree baba abhi abhi apne bike lekhe gaye sir!"
Banging his hand on the car hood he moved to other vehicle but stopped looking at flat tyres glanced around the garage, gritted his teeth, "Shreekanth aaj toh tum gaye!" While the servants muffled their laughs from behind as only one can dare to touch Arman's vehicle.
"Driver se kehke sari ghadi ke tyres theek karwadijiye! Kaka!" Saying he took his files and laptop.
By the time he reached hospital all looked at him wierdly as it was first time he was late.
Karan who was waiting for him, "Bhai! Aap itne late kyu aye hai? Aap theek hoh na!"
"Mei theek huh! Tum mere cabin mei kya karrahe hoh? Aur camp khatam hogai!" Arman took his seat calming himself.
Karan told him everything, "Waise toh sab kal se report karrrahe lekin mujhe aapse milne ki mann horaha toh agaya!"
Giving a small smile, "Acha theek hai! Hum lunch mei baat karthe! Joh neuro ward mei Mr Sinha haina unka aaj surgery hai tum jao aur unko prepare karo! Lunch ke baad we will start surgery aur tum assist karoge!"
Karan nodded moving from there, when Arjun entered, "Arman yeh kya meine suna tum late aye aur surgery postpone ki?"
Arman narrated everything, Arjun listening to him, "Abh kya karne wale hoh?"
"Usko toh chodne nahi wala! He needs to understand the gravity of situation! Woh patient ko emergency nahi lekin agar emergency hota toh bahut kuch hojata aaj!" He said as he is in that profession where they can't afford a mistake.
"Jaise tum chahte hoh woh karo! Lekin yeh gussa chodo!" He said going from there.
The day was going on smoothly. Later at evng shree entered the permises, nervousness clearly visible in his face. "Shree! Subah toh bahut hassi araha tha tumhe abh ander jane keliye darr rahe hoh!" He cursed himself.
"Chalo kuch bhi hojaye ander toh jaana padega! Mujhe abhitak samaj nahi araha Arjun sir aur Rathod sir kaise manliya!" Shaking his head he entered inside gulped seeing his brother stern face.
Making a indifferent face, he started moving to his room but Arman called him, "Shree wahi rukho!"
"Mujhe baat karne mei koi interest nahi!" He huffed taking a step ahead.
"Tab bhi jab mei yeh kahu ki tumhare karan aaj kiski jaan chali gai!" Arman words shocked him beyond turned abruptly, "Yeh aap kya bolrahe?"
"Joh sach hai!"
"Apne zidh mei yeh bhulgaye ki tumhara bhai ek doctor hai! Woh doctor jinhe log bhagwan manthe! Kisipe barosa kare ya na kare lekin ek doctor pe aankh bandhe karke barosa karthe kyunki unhe vishwas hote ki hum unke life save karenghe!"
"Waise hih aaj bhi ek parivaar mujhpe barosa kiya unke parivaar ki sadasy ki jaan bachane ki! Par hua kya mere chota bhai ke zidh ne mujhe wakth pe hospital jane nahi diya! Aur uska maut hogaya!" Arman replied blankly.
"Nahi!" Shree shook his head in denial, "Aap mazak karrahe na?" he asked with hope as he can never forgive himself if it's the truth.
"Mei mazak kyu karunga! Aur tum bhi yehi chahte hoh na mei fail hojao apne profession mei!"
Shaking his head, "Nahi! Mei kabhi nahi chahta yeh sab hoh, mei bas apko tangh karna chahta, yeh sab hoh yeh mei nahi chaha!" he mumbled with guilt.
"Please kehdijiyena! Aap jhoot bolrahe! Kisike maut ke wajah bankhe mei kabhi jee nahi paunga!Kuch bhi hojai, lekin Aap kabhi fail nahi hosakthe!" He pleaded shaking with fear having trust on him.
Looking at him, Arman sighed not having a heart to make him feel guilt more, "Nahi! Patient ko kuch nahi hua! He is fine n recovering!"
Shree staggered with relief catching the table for support.
"Lekin tumne joh kiya, woh galath hai! patient ki condition serious nahi tha! agar woh serious hota aur mei time pe nahi paunchta toh pehli baar tumhare bhai fail hochuka hotha! Pehli baar mere iss safed coat pe dhaag lagchuka hota shree, kisi innocent ke jaan chala jata aaj! Kyu kiya tumne aisa? Apne bhai ka todhasa bhi izzaat bachi hai ki nahi tumhare ankhon mei!" Arman asked angrily.
Shree looking at Arman, "I am sorry! Maaf kijiye mujhe!" He whispered in regret as in his zidh he forgot his brother profession is something he shouldn't mess, "aap joh saza denghe mujhe manzur hai! Mei kabhi nahi chahta aapke upar koi dhaag lagjaye khaskar mere karan toh bilkul nahi! Yakeen kijiye!" he apologised kneeling before him with tears.
Arman looking down at him, felt sad, dissapointed yet happy as he accepted his mistake, "I am dissapointed shree!" his words made his gut churn, "Bhai! I am really sorry!" He cried folding his hands before him.
Taking a step back, "Utho Shree!"
"Kyu kiye tum yeh! Issliye na takhi mujhe pareshan karsakhe! bhulgaye pechli baar jab tum yeh stunt pull kiye kya kiya meine!" Shree shuddered but kept mum.
"Bolo Shree! agar kal mere karan koi criminal bachjata yaa koi nidrosh ko saza hota toh tumhe kaisa lagta?" He reversed questioned and how would he feel but smiled when he replied softly, " aap aise kabhi nahi karthe! aap mere jaise nahi hai, aap bahut ache hai kuch galat kaam nahi karthe!"
"Aur mei apne bache ko galat karna nahi shikaya! Mei yeh nahi kehraha ki tu mujhe pareshan karna chod dhe, chota bhai hai tu aur hakh hai mujhse zidh karna, tantrum show karna par ghar tak! tu mujhse kitna jhagdna ladhna sab karo par kabhi tumhare karan iss profession pe impact nahi hona chahiye! mei tumhe uss guilt mei kabhi nahi deksaktha!" Knowing more than him he would be effected if something like that happens.
"I am sorry!" he apologised again knowing his brother is right.
"Shree! Tum khud apne saza chunlo! Mei kuch nahi bolunga!" Arman said folding his hands.
Shree in guilt silently took out his belt and forwarded it to Arman who was very suprised, "Shree...yeh?"
"Meri galti maaf ke layak nahi! Mera insensitive behaviour ke karan aaj kiske jaan par bangai, aapke profession jisse aap apne sabkuch mante uspe bhi daag lagnewale kevala mere wajah se! Issliye aap mujhe iss belt se maar dijiye! Shayad agar aaj dad bhi hota toh yahi karthe!" He mumbled bowing his head down.
Arman glanced at belt and his brother, shook hai head throwing it away, which suprised him. "Tu socha bhi kaise, mei tumpe belt utaunga? Agar maar na hih solution hai toh kabka kartha!"
"Phir?" He looked up at him.
"Chalo mere saath!" Saying he moved towards garden! Shree shivered slightly due to cool weather, but Arman ignored it. Crossing his arms he fixed a stern glare, "jalan mei akar apne sudhbhudh kogaye tum! Issliye aisa harkath kiya tum taki mera attention tum pe ajaye!"
Shree looked up as how come he know it, but Arman just shook his head, "Bees saal se pala tumhe! Tumhare ankhe padna badi baat nahi! You are a open book to me shree!"
Shree gave a glare, "Phir bhi mujhe nahi smajathe!" He thought.
"Ghurna band kar! Aur hundred push-ups karo!" Arman stated firmly while Shree looked incredulously, " Are you serious pagal hogaye kya?" he yelled, looking at around.
"Watch the tone Shree! Agar ek aur lafz nikla toh double karne padega! Aur mei tumhe woh karwake bina kahi nahi jane dungha! So stop tantrum and start doing!" Arman snapped.
Shutting his mouth giving a deadly glare he took his position on the ground, "Mujhe pata hai garden mei issliye lekar aye taki mera punishment aur badjaye kyunki flat surface mei itna pushups karna msukhil hai aur garden mei toh namumkin hai!" He grumbled but nonetheless started doing.
"Shree! Bewakoof jab pata tha unke car ko chuna nahi toh kyu kiya? Apne peir pe khuladi marna mei bahut maza aa raha hai! Hey deva! Mera haath aur peir dhono kaam nahi karega agar aisa hih chalta raha toh!" He whined cursing himself.
This was watched by Vicky and Yash who were on terrace. Vicky giggled, "Acha kiya bhai ne! Warna iska zubhan aaj kal bahut jyada tez chalraha tha! Jabse aye ghar mei sabko tewar dhikaraha aur aaj bhai ne isse acha sabhak shikarahe!"
"Vicky bas kar! Agar kisine tumhe yeh sab kehte sunliya toh shree ke jagah tum bhi honghe!" Yash knocked his head from back, "Abh chal yaha se!"
"Areh rukh na Yash! Kal isne bahut hurt kiya Gudiya ko apne jalan mei! Jab usse pata hai Arman bhai ko unke ghadhi bina puche chune se gussa ayega toh itna badi bewakoof karne ki kya jarurat tha! Bas apne ego dhikana tha usse!"
"Vicky, chodo kal ki baat! Kyu wahi lekar beithe hoh abhitak! Chota bhai hai woh humhare, humhare toh farz banta usse bachana naki uske saza pe maza lena!" Yash chided, "Dekh usse kitna dard mei hai!" As Shree was struggling to do.
"Tu uska side mat le, bhai ne sahi saza diya!" Vicky replied, with a grin "mujhe bahut maza araha!"
Suddenly he yelped as his ear got pulled, glared at the person, "Bhai! Chodo mere Khan!"
Maan who listened to him, "Acha! Abhi shree ke punishment ke bahut maza lerahe abh kya hua?"
"Oww! Bhai chodo na!" He pouted while yash shook his head knowing he is in trouble.
"Humhare ghar mei koi bhi dusre ke punishment pe hastha nahi Vicky! Aur tumhe shree ke halath dekh maza araha na!" Maan raised his eybrow while he tried to deny it covering it up, "Chup! Ek word nahi!"
"Chalo! Mei tumhe uss maze ka mehsoos karwata huh! Fifty pushups Vicky!" Maan ordered leaving his hold.
Caressing his ear he looked with unbelievable expression, "Bhai aap mazak kaarrahe na!" When his face remained stern, he whined, "it's unfair bhai! Woh galti kiya saza bhugat rahe lekin bina galti ke mei kyu karu?"
Raising his eyebrow, "Joh tu kalse act up karrhae na! Uskeliye! Now start warna sau karna padega woh bhi garden mei!"
Grumbling he got into his position, "Shree kya agaya aap bhi uske side lene lagai!" He accused startling Maan and Yash.
"Yeh kya bolrahe hoh Vicky!" Yash chided but stopped as Maan nodded in no.
Vicky completing gotup feeling pain, "fifty se tumhe itna kasht mehsoos horaha toh soch shree kitne dard mei hoga! Kisike saza ko lekar hasna theek nahi Vicky, khaskar jab woh aapke bhai ho! Manta huh joh vyavahar usne geet ke saath kiya tu gussa hogaya, par uske point of view bhi soch! Geet ke pehle yeh jagah uske behan ki thi, humsab ke zindagi mei!"
Vicky looked up, "Bhai ek sawal, kya aapke zindagi mei Geet pari ki replacement hai kya?"
Hearing him maan raised his hand, "Vicky!" But stopped controlling himself.
"Aaj boldiya so boldiya! Aage mere pyaar pe ungli mat utana! Maan khurana keval ek se pyaar kiya aur usiko Dil o jaan se chahta hai maarthe dumtak aur aage bhi aur woh hai Geet Maan khurana!" He stated.
Vicky looking at his eyes sighed, "Sorry bhai! Aapke pyaar pe kabhi shakh nahi mujhe, bas shree ke bataon ne mujhe pagal kardiya!"
Forgetting his anger, Maan pulled him into hug, "Shh! Itne saalon baad pari ke baare mei sunhke tere dil mei kya tufaan chalraha mei samaj saktha huh! Par Vicky Pari humhare zindagi mei ek bandh chapter hai, joh kabhi nahi khulega! Issliye shree ke baton ko utna baav mat dho! Bacha hai woh, tumdono se chota hai, aur woh pari ko lekar itna kyu effect horahe jante hona!" He mumbled coaxing him.
"Ji bhai! Mei usse naraz nahi huh! Bas woh sabke saath itna berukhi se behave karraha ki mujhe acha nahi lagraha!" He mumbled as even he was showing anger he could never think bad of him.
The three looked down where shree was still doing pushups became sad. Arman who was counting noticed how tired and in pain he was but kept quiet. Once he completed Arman stopped him.
"Bas shree! Aur aage se kuch karne se pehle consequences ke bare mei socho! Now, go get fresh and come for dinner! Koi bahana nahi!" He ordered moving inside.
Shree still in the garden, " Bewakoof, gadha aaj ke baad unke gadhi ko haath lagaya toh dekhlena!" He knocked himself hissed, "Oww!" Blowing air on his palms which were sore.
At the dinner all assembled but no one said a word, but they know shree was punsihed. Arman waited for few minutes when Shree didnot descend he stood up, "aapsab apna dinner complete kijiye! Mei shree ko dekhta huh!" Saying he served food on a plate and took upstairs.
"Kahi shree ko phirse daanth ne keliye toh nahi jaa rahe na?" Liza whispered to Riya who was beside.
Rhidima who listened to her, "Nahi! Shree ko saza diya aur woh pura bhi hogaye! Arman usse gussa nahi hai abh, abh toh apne chote bhai ko manane jaa rahe!" She smiled.
Arman coming inside saw Shree twisting on his bed trying to find a comfortable position to sleep shook his head, "Shree utho aur khana khalo!"
"Mujhe nahi chahiye!"
But Arman takinv palce pulled him to sit properly, "khana ke apman nahi karthe! Chalo khalo!"
Shree looked at food which was his favourite, he was really hungry after that workout but looking at his hands he shook his head, "Nahi mujhe bhook nahi!"
Arman who noticed his actions, took a bite and forwarded to him, "Chalo mei khiladeta huh!" But shree turned his face angrily.
"Mujhse naraz haina toh khane pe kyu nikalraha hoh! Kya abh tujhe mere hathon se khana bhi pasand nahi!" He asked sadly.
Shree looking at him from corner of his eyes, opened his mouth taking the bite which made Arman happy who fed him lovingly. Both remembered how Arman would always feed the first bite to shree. A tear fell on Armaan's hand.
Looking up, "Jab itna dard horaha mujhse dur rehna toh kyu zidh lekar beith gai tum! Please bachu! Apne bhai ke paas laut ajao!"
After completing the food, Arman forwarded medicine! Shree looked at him with frown, "Pain killer hai! Aram miljayega! Tujhe saza dena mujhe acha nahi lagta, phir bhi mei kartha huh kyunki tujhe achi parwarish dene ki wada kiya mom-dad se! Aur jitna dard tujhe hota uske kai jyada mujhe hota hai!"
Shree silently gulped the medicine and laid on bed. Arman sighed sadly, "Tere tantrums bahut miss karaha huh mei! Manao ki mere samne mera shree nahi koi aur hai! Kyu itna badal gai tum!" He thought, ruffling his hair placed a kiss.
Shree closed his eyes feeling loved, but kept quiet. As this was the first time his brother didnot offer any comfort after punishment and it was only due to him.
Maan saw Geet standing near the open window, cool air touching her face which made her hair blow. Going towards her, he hugged from back, "Kiski khayalon mei kho gai!"
Leaning on to him she shook his head, "Maan! Mujhe aapse kuch manghna hai!"
"Kya chahiye mishty?" He frowned but suspected it wouldn't be for her.
Taking a deep breath, "Mujhe kahi bahar jana hai Maan! Woh bhi aapke saath kuch dinon keliye!"
Maan got suprised removed his hold which she took negatively. Looking up at his eyes, "Agar aapko kaam hai toh koi baat nahi! Mei bas kuchdin iss sabse dur jana chahti! Aapke saath thoda wakth bitana chahti! Lekin agar aap ke mann nahi hum nahi jaye..!"
Her words were stopped as he placed his finger on her lips, shook his head, "Kya mishty kabse bolti jaa rahi! Mera baat sunho toh sahi!"
"Hum jayenge! Tum pehli baar mujhse kuch manghi aur mei woh na Karu aisa kabhi nahi hoga!" He assured bringing a smile on her.
The smile turned to frown, "Abh kya hua?" He questioned.
"Lekin ghar wale? Aur hum jaayenghe kaha?" She pouted.
Pulling her cheeks, "Sab mujhe pe chodo! Maan khurana ki biwi kuch chaha toh jarur hoga! Abh bas tum yeh batao kaha jana hai! Mei intezam kartha huh!"
Looking up at him with wide smile, "Mujhe na Manali jana hai! Apko pata hai mujhe bachpan se hih north ke places dekhne ka bada mann tha! Lekin kabhi nahi gayi! Mujhe waha jana hai Maan!" She said excitedly explaining about the view animatedly.
Maan gazed at her with love without blinking a eye. Her cute eyes, small frown thinking something, her hair flick falling on her cheek teasing her.
Geet unaware of his gaze, went on explaining! Not hearing a word she frowned turning to him pouted, "Aap sunh rahe ki mei aiwai inn diwaron se bolrahi huh!"
Coming out of his trance, "Haa sunh raha huh mishty! Chalo yeh tai raha hum manali jaa rahe! Kya tumhe kal hih jana hai?" He questioned.
Geet nodded, "Acha! Theek hai tum packing start karo mei tickets book kartha huh!" With that he opened his laptop.
Geet happily started pulling out theirs clothes, dumped them on the bed. Maan who was watching her widened his eyes, "Mishty kitne din rehna chahte hoh?"
"Kamse kam Dus din!kyu ?" She frowned.
Shaking hsi head, "Lekin itne kapde kyu? Hum waise bhi waha shoooing karenghe na! Abhi itna luggage lekar jayenge toh athe samai bahut hoga!"
"Tu ek kaam karo! Mera theen ya char suits rakho! Kuch causals bas!"
Geet nodded and she too picked few clothes, and arranged them in bags. One for her and other from Maan!
Maan booked two tickets, and also arranged for their stay! Closed the laptop!
"Chalo Mishty! So jate! Kal subah gyara baje flight hai!" He informed. Geet nodded eagerly and slept beside him, giving a kiss, "Thank you Maan! I love you!"
"Love you too mishty!" He whispered giving a kiss.
In the morning, Maan woke up smiled watching her sleeping cutely hugging him, caressed her hair, gently shifted her on to bed and moved to fresh up. He didnot woke up as they would be start for their destination after few hours.
Completing his workout, he informed about the trip to elders. Coming to his room, he saw still sleeping shook his head, "Mishty utho!"
Geet grumbling turned away, "Maan sone dho na mujhe!"
Chuckling at her, "theek hai! Phir mei tickets cancel kardunga! Tum so jao!"
Hearing him she got up quickly, "Maan nahi!"
Hiding his smirk, "Areh uth kyu gai chalo so jao!"
"Maaannn!" Geet whined with a pout.
"Jab utha raha toh nahi uthi abh kya sona nahi tujhe!" He teased.
Making a pout, "Aap na bahut bade dusht hoh! Hathiya mujhe ready hona hai!" She pushed him grumbling going into washroom.
Shaking his head he got ready n both came down with bags.
The family who were in living room, saw them. "Bhai aapdono kahi jaa rahe?" Yash questioned with frown.
Maan nodded, "Haa! Mei aur Geet manali jaa rahe!"
Vicky who came listened, glanced at Geet, silently going to them, "Bhai ek minute mujhe isse kuch baat karna hai!" and dragged her aside while others shook as its normal.
Maan was talking and advising everything to Yaha along with meera n sneha. Otherside Vicky took her far, folded his hands.
"Vicky kya hai? Kyu keenche ke aya mujhe!" Geet questioned with irritated voice.
"Mujhe nahi bataya! Tum aur bhai kahi jaa rahe?" He came directly to point.
Sighing, " kaise batao! Kal raat hih toh decide kiya!" And told him everything.
"Gudiya! Bhagna chahte hoh?" He stated knowing her very well.
"Nahi Vicky! Kuch din bina koi tension ke rehna chahti huh! Tu dekha na jabse shaadi huyi tabse kuch na kuch hota raha! Mei aur maan kuch wakth achese bitai bhi nahi! Shaadi hote che mahine hone ko hai! Mei unhe suprise dena chahta huh! Yaha possible nahi kuch na kuch hoga! Aur waise bhi sab shree ko lekar pareshan hai, mei rahungi toh na chahte huye bhi Arman bhai ke taraf keechta jaaunga! I don't want to come in middle Vicky! Arman bhai pe mera koi hakh nahi, muh boli behan huh mei par Shree saga bhai hai, aur jab bhai ko humdono pe choose karna padega toh woh shree ko hih choose karega aur mei yeh bardash nahi karpaunga! Issliye mei unse dur rehna chahti huh!"
Vicky nodded, "Tujhe pata hai, shree bura nahi bas uska dimag karab hogaya! Aur jis din usse tumhari yeh saaf dil samaj ayega woh tumse humsabse bhi jayada pyaar karega dekhna!"
"Dekhte hai! Aur waise bhi tumse jyada toh koi nahi!" She laughed.
Hugging her, "Apna dyaan rakho aur bhai ka bhi! Aur humesha aise hih kush raho!" He whispered n both came towards the family.
Maan taking her hand, "Chale?"
Both took blessings of elders n bid bye to others.
