                               Part – 8

Geet ko lagtha hai ki Maan ussko kahin aur band karkke rakhnewala hai…

Shayad kissi ko patha chal gaya ki mein yahi hoon?

Babaji, mujhe kaise bhi iss sadoo aadmi se bachao….

Aaj mein isski koi bhi baat ko sunnewali nahi hoon…

Achanak Geet ko Dev ki yaad aathi…..

She is terrified by the thought of that day…..

Maan ke samne toh aaisa gabrahat nahi hothi…

Sirf gussa aathi, ladne ki mann karthi…..

Chahe kitna bhi bhura kyun na ho, Maan ke saath do din rehkke Maan ke aadat padgayi Geet ko….

Babaji, ye mein kya sochthi hoon? Ye toh Dev se bada Dhust hai, haina?

Maan: kadhe kadhe sochthe rahoge kya? jaldhi karo

Pehle iss ghar se bahar jaana hoga, phir jaise bhi chilaakke kissi ki madat lekhe isse bach jayegi….

Geet aaise plan banakke tayaar hothi…..

Maan ke samne achche bachi banne ki natak karthi….

Tabhi toh Maan ko koi shak nahi hoga Geet pe…

Warna kya patha, gadhi mein bhi isskkke muh haath baandhkke lekhe jaatha toh?

Issiliye Geet jaldhi tayaar hokke aajaathi, as if she would obey his orders anytime?

Yahan se bhaagne ke liye Geet ko kya kya karna padtha?

Geet is scared…..ab kya karnewala hai?

Lekhin Maan toh tayaar hi nahi hotha…..

Geet waits in the front….

Kahin issne plan ko badal nahi diya?

Maan aaram se breakfast kar raha hai….

Geet ko bhi bhook lagi hai, lekhin isskke saath kaise kayegi?

Maan bbi ussko khan eke liye poochtha bhi nahi….

Ramu kaka hi Geet ko bhulathe hai….

Geet looks at Maan….

Maan toh toot pada….

He is just relishing the tasty parathas ….

Maan ko dekhkke Geet ko bhi chakne ki mann kartha….

Lekhin ussne toh saaf saaf kehdiya ki bhook nahi haina?

Ab Geet kitchen ke andar jaathi….

Ramu kaka ki madat karne ki bahane…..

Geet: aapne ye shahi paneer kaise banaya? Bahut badiya lagtha hai

Ramu kaka smiles….

Ramu: tum chak ke dekho

Maan waits for her to finish eating…..

Maan: aaise chup chupkke khane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, mein iss ke liye paise nahi maangoonga

Geet : mein bas chak ke dekh rahi thi, ramu kaka ne kitne pyaar se mere liye banaya hai, haina?
