Part – 21

 

Next day…….

Geet Maan ke aane ki intrezaar karthi……

Maan comes……

He is surprised to see Neha ready to come with him….

He thought that it wouldn't be so easy……

Mann Neha ko utaatha…..

Geet bhi saath mein chalthi….

She has got her bag ready……

Maan: ye kya hai?

Geet: ye mere samaan hai, mein bhi aathi hoon, Dadi ko ab kissi ki zaroorat hai, woh akhele Neha ko sambal nayi sakthe

That's so true….Dadi has overnight become so weak…..

Maan kitna bhi koshish kartha Dadi ko sambal nahi patha……

she was so strong even when his father died……

but this she couldn't accept……

Maan Geet ko nahi rokhtha…..

Geet accompanies them…..

Jaathe waqt…Geet keeps crying….

Maan: ye kya hai?

Geet: kuch nahi

Maan: tumme aaisa hi ronna hai to tum yahi raho, hummare saath aana hai toh no rona dona, haina Neha?

Neha: haan

Neha bhi bahut dar gayi hai….Geet ko aaise rothe dekhke…

Maan aaj thoda alag dikhtha hai…..

He looks determined & calm……

Geet stops crying…..

Geet: mein kahan ro rahi hoon?  Neha yahan aao

Geet hugs her & kisses her….

Geet : hum toh good girls hai,good girls rothenahi, haina?

Geet tickles Neha….

Neha smiles…..Maan is also relaxed to see her smile….

Everything looks a little different…….

Geet goes to meet Dadi…..

Dadi bahut hi toot gayi hai…..

Geet ko dekhte hi dadi ronne lagi…..

Dadi: Geet bte, hummare Annie kahan hai? Har waqt aapke saath hi rehthi haina, aaj aap akele kyun aaye ho? Annie ko lekhe aayiye? Mere Annie ko lekhe aayiye

Geet: dadi…………

She goes & hugs dadi………..

Maan comes….

Maan: Dadima….aapki tabyat pehle hi bigad gayi hai, aapko kuch hojaatha toh Neha ka kya hoga? Mera kya hoga? Aap aaram kijiye

Geet: Neha kahan hai?

Maan: Neha car mein  hai, mein ussko  bahar lekhe jaatha hoon, hum shamko wapas aayenge, tab tak aap donno ko jitna rona hai rolo, lekhin usske badh ek aasoo bhi nahi, samji

Maan leaves…

Geet thode dher dadi ke saath batein karthi toh Dadi feels better…..

Geet Dadi ko khana lekhe aathi…..

She orders Dadi to eat & gives her the medicines….

Geet Annie ke kamre mein jaathi toh woh locked hai….

Maan has kept all her belongings in & locked it…..

Ghar pe Annie ka koi bhi cheez nahi hai….ek photo bhi nahi…..

Woh sab Neha ko Annie ki yaad dilayegi……

Maan comes back…..

Geet puts Neha to sleep….

She goes to see Maan….

Maan apne kamre mein hi hai….

Ussko bhi neendh nahi aathi….kaise aathi?

Maan: andar aao

Geet goes…

Geet:  aap kaise bhai ho? Ek hi din mein Annie ko bhool gaye? Aakhir Annie ki galthi kya hai? Aap aaise ek hi din mein usske yaadon ko iss tarah mitnne  ki koshish kyun karte ho?

Maan: itne choti bachi ko iss duniya mein akele chodke chali gayi, kya ye usski galthi nahi hai?

Geet: toh aap aaisa karoge?

Maan: Geet tum nahi jaante ho ki iss duniya mein maabaap ke bina rehna kitna mushkil hai

Geet: hum kya kar sakte? Ye toh taqdeer hai

Maan: Geet, Annie mar chuki hai, lekhin Neha ki zindagi toh abhi abhi shuru hui hai, mein nahi chahatha ki  iss accident ke wajhe se Neha ko koi bhi takleef ho, aaj se woh meri beti hai, aur ye Annie ki ghar nahi Neha ki ghar hai, samji tu

Geet: par Annie

Maan: Geet aaj ke badh mein iss ghar mein Annie ya Arjun ka naam nahi sunna chahatha

Geet ko lagtha hai ki Annie ki jaane se Maan ko bahut bada sadma lag gaya, kuch din mein sab teek ho jayega, Maan bhi normal ho jayega

But Maan is very clear…he doesn't want Neha to suffer…..

Next day….

Geet Neha ke saath hi rehthi…..

She takes care of Neha……Dadi helps her ……

Maan returns to work…..

Dadi ke paas Geet haina?

He keeps calling Geet to khow what Neha is doing….

He doesn't want her to feel insecure…….

He is afraid that she would ask about her mother…

Geet is very cautious ….she doesn't leave Neha alone at anytime…

She keeps her engaged…she takes her out to the park …….

She feels that Neha would forget them if she is diverted…

Neha loves playing with the children there….

Maan takes her out on Sundays…..

Kabhi kabhi Geet bhi saath mein jaathi…..

Now  Neha has learnt to live without Annie & Arjun….

To everyone's surprise she has not asked for her mother even once….

Ye toh babaji ka kripiya hai….

Geet roz babaji se yahi dua karthi ki Neha ko apne maa ki yaad mat dilayein….

Sab dhere dhere teek ho raha hai……

Geet aur Maan bhi jaane anjaane mein ek doosre ke saathi ban gaye hai….

Geet bhi bhool gayi ki ye Annie ka ghar hai….apna nahi…..

Par Dadi toh ye jaanthi ki Geet Annie ki jagah nahi le sakthi….

Kyun legi? She is just a friend…..

Maan ki baat alag hai….it's his fate….

Kabhi apne behen ke liye jeena pada aur ab usski beti ke liye jee raha hai….

Kabhi bhi apne zindagi ki barein mein nahi sochtha…….sochne ka moka bhi kahan miltha?

Aakhir sochtha bhi toh apne business ke barein mein hi sochtha….

Business has always been an outlet for him….something he could escape into…….

After a month…..

Mr.Handa aur Ranno Geet ko milnne aathe hai…..

Ranno Dadi ko dekhte hi shuru hothi….

Ranno: Dadiji, Annie humme chodke kaise jaa sakthi?

Dadi also joins her…..

Maan gets angry….

He takes Neha out….he warns Geet…

Maan: Geet jab mein wapas aatha KM mein shaanthi hone chahiye, tum apne Maa ko samjao ya phir unnkko lekhe Hoshiarpur hi chale jao, mujhe apne ghar pe koi nautanki nahi chahiye, samji tum

Ranno is not happy…..

Ye kaise baatein kar raha hai?...

Geet: maa pehle andar aao,thode dher chup nahi reh sakthi?

Mr.Handa: Geet tum kaise ho?

Geet: mein teek hoon papaji, aap bhi aao

Dadi: Nakul samaan andar lekhe jao

Geet donno ko guest room lekhe jaathi….
