Dadi notices Geet's worrying face….

She has been sitting in the couch for a long time……

Ranno has been calling her and Geet won't move from that place…..

It's dinner time….Ranno tried to get Neha to the dinning table…

But no use….if Geet itself doesn't obey her then how would her daughter listen to Ranno?

She goes and complaints to dadi…..

Raano: Dadima, damadji hi ek aadmi hai jo aapki pothiyon ko sambal sakthe, mein toh do din se inkke peeche padkke tak gayi hoon, ab aapki bari hai

Dadi: haan Ranno, Maan hothe hai tohi ye ghar mein sab waqt pe apna apna kaam karthe, nahi toh dekho sab apne man maani karne lage hai

Geet: dadi, aap bhi maa ke saath millkke saas bahu wali saas ban gaye ho? Aap iss drama queen se dhoor hi raho

Dadi: Geet bete, aap kya kar rahe hai?

Geet: kuch nahi

Dadi: aap humse kuch chupa rahe hai

Geet: nahi dadi, aaisa koi baat nahi hai

Dadi: nahi, jab se hospital se aaye hai aap bahut udaas lagthe hai

Geet: nahi dadima., mein bilkul teek hoon, Neha ko lekhe thoda pareshaan ho gayi thi

Dadi: humme patha hai, zaroor Maan ne aapko kuch kaha hoga?

Geet: nahi dadi

Dadi: Geet bete, humne bhi kitne bachon ko pala hai, bachon aaisa hi hothe hai, kabhi kabhi ghir jaathe aur chot bhi lagthi, issme aapki koi galthi nahi hai, aap isskke barein mein zyada mat sochiye, ye toh bas shuruwaat hai, ab aage aapko kitna kuch sambalna hai, humne toh aapki Maan ko hi sambala, patha hai Maan ab jitna samajdhar hai bachpan mein utna hi sharaarat karthe the

Dadi: toh ye Maan ka kaam hi hai

Geet pakadgayi……

Geet: sshhh….nahi nahi

Dadi: patha hai Maan ne bachpan mein kya kiya ?

So it's story time at KM..…..Maan ke samne dadi ye story nahi batha sakthi….ab Maan yahan nahi hai toh Dadi starts telling Maan's childhood stories to cheer up Geet…..

Dadi: aaisahi ek bar Maan toffee khane ki zidd kar rahe the, humne toffee ko upar ke cupboard mein chupadhi, aur inhonne kya kiya?

Geet: kya karthe? aaise hi upar chadkke ghir gaye honge

Dadi: nahi bete, unnhonne aaisa nahi kiya, balkhi Annie ko ladder ke upar chadnne ko kehthe aur Annie bhi apne bhai ke baat ko turanth maan gayi, aur jab humne kitchen mein awaaz sunkke aaya, Maan ladder ko chodkke chale gaye aur Annie ghir gayi

Geet: toh aaise baat hai, kudh itna badmaash hokke mujhe sunathe? Aane do unkko

Dadi: ye hui na baat, ab chalo sab saath mein dinner karthe hai, aap Neha ko lekhe aayiye

Geet: ji Dadi

Geet Neha ko lekhe aathi…..

Dadi: Neha bete, idhar aayiye

Dadi: Geet bete, Neha ko ice cream lekhe aayiye

Geet: ice cream? Nahi, pehle roti, badh mein ice cream

Neha: ice cream, ice cream, ice cream

Geet: chup, bilkul chup

Neha shuts her mouth….

Geet: hare, muh kholo, roti kahna haina?

Neha: aapne hi chup Karen ko kaha the na?

Geet: bilkul apne papa ki tarah hai, ziddi , muh kholo

Neha: nahi, mujhe bhook nahi hai

Geet: achcha, dadima , mujhe bahut bhook lagthi hai, ye ice cream bhi mein hi khathi hoon

Neha: nahi, mera ice cream hai, mujhe do

Geet: achcha, ye aapka hai?

Neha: haan

Geet: Dadima, ye mera hiana?

Geet starts to run towards Dadi….Neha chases her…..

Ranno: Geet, pagal ho gayi ho kya? Neha ko abhi abhi chot lagi hai, woh phir se ghir jaathi toh?

Dadi snatches the ice ceram from Geet….

Geet: dadi?

Dadi: ye aap donno ka bhi nahi hai, pehle donno khaana khalo, beito

Dadi Geet ko dhaantthi….

Neha laughs…..

Dadi: dekha ye mera hai

Dadi: aap kahan jaathi hai? aap bhi beito

Donno chup chaap khana khaathe hai….

Phir Geet Neha Geet ko ice cream khilathi aur Geet Neha ko…..

Dadi bahut kush hai…..babaji hummari ghar ki kushiyon ko kissi ka nazar nahi lagaye….

Uss raat Geet ko neendh hi nahi aathi….

It's 3 am…..Maan has just returned from Delhi…..

He goes to see Neha….

Neha is fast asleep….Geet is with her…..

Geet is still awake….Maan knows that…..

He also knows that he had hurt her with his words….

Maan had to apologiose, warna ussko bhi neendh nahi aayega……

lekhin kaise? Sab soo rahe hai, aur Geet bhi sonne ki natak kar rahi hai……

ab usskke saath ladtha toh Neha aur choti princess utjaayenge…kay karein?

 Maan thinks for a while….chalo kal subah baat akrthe hai….but he couldn't hold back till morning……after all he has seen his mishty worried…..

Maan Geet ke paas chale jaatha….aur usske khaan mein whisper kartha….

Maan: Geet

Geet closes her eyes tight….

Maan:  Geet,bahar aao, mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karna hai

Geet turns to the other side…..

Maan: Geet, toh tum aaise nahi manogi? Geet, mein bhi Maan Singh Khurana hoon, mere samne tummari nautnaki nahi chalegi, samji

So saying he lifts her and takes her with him….Geet doesn't resist…….

She needed this badly….this love along with his arrogance…..

Whenever something goes wrong her heart just longs for this, this man's cuddle and comfort….

Even though her mind reminds her that this time he is the culprit her heart goes ohh la la…..

She is very pleased that he is back with her,  she comfortably rests her head on his arms….

Wow!….kitna strong hai mere Maan? Kya muscles hai?

Just as he carries her out, her mind warns her not to open her eyes and look into his , b'coz then she would forget whatever he said ….so she keeps her eyes closed….

Maan: Geet, ab tum aankhen khol sakthi ho, yahan koi nahi hai aur mujhe patha hai ki tummare sharaarat aankhen mujhse baat karne ke liye taras rahe hai

She opens her eyes and sees him…..

Maan: Geet, mujhse baat nahi karogi?

Now she breaks her silence…..

Geet: aap ko kya lagtha? Mujhe Neha ki koi parwa nahi hai? sirf aapko usski chintha hai? Mr.Maan Singh Khurana, shayad aap bhool gaye ho ki Neha meri beti hai, meri, samje? Agar aapko itna parwa hai toh aap humme akhele chodke nahui jaathe, haina babaji? Aap bahut bhure ho, mujhe aapse koi baat nahi karna hai

Maan: toh itne dher Mrs. Khurana ji, aap kisse baat kar rahe the?

Geet: woh  mein apne babaji se baat kar rahi thi, aap chup chupkke hummare baathon ko sun rahe the?

Babaji, ab aap hi dekhlo, kaun achcha hai aur kaun Dust hai? ye toh aaisa hi hai, hamesha mujhe rulathe aur dekho kaise headmaster ki tarah sawaal pe sawaal karthe? Kisse baat kar rahi thi? Kyun kar arhi thi? Kaise kar rahi thi?

Geet stops to take a breathe….

Maan: bas, ho gayi teri baat  ya aur bhi kuch bakhi hai?

Geet starts to speak…..

Maan: babaji lagtha hai picture abhi bakhi hai, ab mein aur wait kartha toh isski picture puri raat chaltha rahega, aur mera picture ka kya hoga?

Geet: kya? Aap kabhi nahi sudhrenge, mein chalthi hoon

Maan catches her hand and pulls her towards him, Geet tries to get away….

But Maan tightens his hold and gets closer….he then hugs her……just what the doctor ordered….haina?

Geet surrenders and she breaks down….

Maan: mujhe maaf kardho Geet, mujhse bahut badi galthi ho gayi, woh tension mein meinne kuch bhi bholdhiya, mein jaantha hoon ki mujhe aaisa baat nahi karna chahiye tha, lekhin kya karoon? Bas do din tumse dhoor rehkke phir se Dhust Danav ban gaya hoon, haina?

Geet: haan, bahut Dhust

 

Geet: kya?

Maan: tummara pyaar, tummari hanssi, tummara ehsaas, tummara sparsh aur

Geet:  aur?

Maan: aur hummara mahi mahi….

Maan lifts her and takes her to his room…..mahi………..

Next day…..

Rajeev calls……

Rajeev: Maan, how's your daughter?

Maan: Nahe is fine, I was just about to call you

Rajeev: mujhe bahut bhura laga,  you left your daughter and came to Delhi just b'coz of me

Maan: hare, koi problem nahi, bas Geet Neha ko lekhe bahut sensitive hai, choti choti bathon ko lekhe bahut pareshaan ho jaathi, infact baby ko lekhe bhi kabhi itna chintha nahi karthi

Rajeev: ye toh hotha hai, chahe kitna bhi bachon ho lekhin pehla bacha toh har maa ke liye hamesha special hi hotha

Maan: you have got a point

Rajeev: take care, mein yahan ka kaam sambal saktha hoon

Rajeev: that will do, waise aapne koi kaam pending nahi choda, everything is going as per plan

Maan: Ok, I'll call you later

Geet: kahin aapki Pari ne bhi call kiya toh nahi?

Maan: woh call kyun karegi? Woh toh seedha yahan aanewali hai, mujhse milne

Maan tries to tease her…..he wants to see her getting jealous and possessive….

Geet: kya? Toh aapne pehle kyun nahi bathaya?

Maan: bathatha toh kya karthi?

Geet: kya karthi?  Mein kudh airport jaathi ussko receive karne

Maan: what? Geet mujhe laga tum naraaz hogi

Geet: mein toh bahut kush hoon

Maan: abhi bhi kuch nahi bigada, tum kaha toh mein Rajeev se baat kartha hoon

Geet: kya? Aapko ek biwi kaafi nahi hai?

Maan: meinne aaise kab kaha? Magar tum chahathi ho toh mein dusri biwi ke barein mein so

Geet shuts his mouth……..

Geet: sochna bhi mat……

Geet warns him……..

Maan smiles…….
