Chapter 24

    Part – 24

That evening….. it's nearly 6 pm most of the staff have left…..

Geet is still in her cabin….

She can't go till Maan leaves, haina?

Aur toh aur aaj Maan koi dinner pe jaarahe hai….

Mujhe ghar lekhe jayenge ya phir yahan se hi dinner chale jaayenge?

Koi baat nahi, mein taxi pakadkke chali jaathi…haina babaji?

Geet apne aap se baat kar rahi hai….

Maan looks at her from his cabin….

Abhi tak kya kar rahi hai?

Aur ye kisse baat kar rahi hai?

Samne toh koi nahi hai……

Hare babaji! ye ladhkki bhi na…..

Ab dekho MSK ko apne aap se batein karne ki majbhoor kardhi?

Maan ko laga ki gusse mein Maan ke paas aayegi aur ladegi, lekhin nahi….

Aaj toh Geet itne chup kaise?

Maan, itna kush mat hona, woh kehthe haina? Toofan ke aane ke pehle ki shanthi hai ye?

Tum toh tayaar raho……

Maan can't bear her silence….he wants to know what she is upto?

Dekhthe hai ki kya karthi hai?

Maan calls Geet…..

Geet comes to his cabin…..

Geet: aapne bhulaya?

Maan: tera kaam katam ho gayi hai kya?

Geet: mujhe kya patha?

Maan: kya?

Geet: ye aapka office hai, toh aapko hi patha hoga ki abhi kissi aur ko bhi chitti likhna hai ya nahi?

Maan enjoys Geet's nakhras….

Maan: aaj ke liye itna hi hai

Geet: toh kal kissko dinner pe lekhe jaana hai?

Maan becomes serious……

Maan: Geet, mein toh bhool hi gaya tha, achcha hua tumne yaad dhilaya, aaj Mishty ke saath date haina?

Geet: date? Mujhe laga official dinner hai

Maan: toh Geet, tum ghar chale jao, mujhe thoda kaam hai, mein chaltha hoon

Geet: haan haan, aap apne shaaam ko enjoy karo, uss mishty ke saath, mein ghar chali jaathi hoon

Maan: driver tumme drop karega

Geet: aapko mere fikar karne ki koi zarooart nahi, aap jaldhi jao

Geet apne bag lekhe sara samaan pack karthi

She is very angry……

She swings her bag and it almost hits Maan's face….

Maan quickly moves away….

Maan: Geeet

Geet chale jaathi……

Maan: itna gussa? Mrs.MSK banne ke liye ye ek qualification kaafi hai

Maan bhi chale jaatha…..

Geet ghar chale jaathi….driver ke saath…..

Driver Geet ko akhele jaane nahi detha, kal kaam pe aana haina?

Agar Maan ko patha chala ki Geet akhele chali gayi toh driver ka kaam gayi…….

Ghar aathe hi driver Geet ko ek envelope detha hai…..

Geet: ye kya hai?

Driver: ye Maan sir ne diya hai m'am, aap ke liye, koi chitti hai

Geet grabs it and leaves……

Ab mujhe hi chitti bhejthe hai?

She takes a look at it……

It's the same letter, jo Geet ne type kiya tha…..

To Maan ki Mishty….Geet….

Ab Geet ko sab samaj mein aaya….toh ye baat hai?

Geet: hare, dinner pe jaana hai? par mere paas toh koi achche kapde bhi nahi hai, pehle hi kehthe toh aathe waqt kuch kareedhkke aathi, par inkko toh har waqt mere mazak udana hi pasand hai

Geet hurries to her room….

Table pe ek parcel padi hai……

Geet ke liye naya dress…..

Geet: kamaal hai, abhi abhi meinne maanga aur abhi milgayi, ye koi allaudin ki jiennie ka kaam hai kya?

Geet goes and opens it….

Ye bhi Maan ka hi kaam hai….

Geet: OK, dress tayaar hai, ab kya?

Maan comes…..

Maan: ab kya soch rahi ho? jaldhi tayaar ho jao

Geet: aap? Aap kab aaye?

Maan: bye Geet

He vanishes…..ye Geet ka vaham hai……

Geet: lagtha hai ye pura din unkke saath rehne ka asar hai……

Haan haan Geet, ye Maan ka magic hai…….

Geet jaldhi nahaakke aathi…..

She is getting ready…..

Geet mirror ke samne beiti ahi…..

Suddenly she finds Maan's reflection in the mirror…..

Geet: hare, ye phir se aagaye?

Geet ko lagtha hai ki ye bhi usski vaham hai……

Geet dress kar rahi hai……

Maan comes and helps her…..

hare ye toh sach mein Maan Singh Khurana hi hai……

Geet: aap?

Geet ko yakheen nahi hotha…..

Geet pinches him……

Maan: ouch….Geet, ye kya kar rahi ho?

Geet: kuch nahi

Geet sharmathi…..

Maan: Geet, idhar dekho

Geet: nahi

Maan: Geet

Geet looks into his eyes…..Maneet eyelock……mahi……

Maan: Geet, ab toh yakheen ho gaya haina? Ye sapna nahi, sach hai

Geet: haan, par aap andar kaise aaye?

Maan: hare, darwaza khula hi tha, toh

Geet: toh? Seedhe andar aagaye? Knock nahi kar sakthe?

Maan: usski kya zaroorat hai Geet?

Geet: kya? Aapne dekha nahi? Mein change kar rahi thi

Maan: toh kya hua?

Geet: kya?

Geet gets angry……

Geet: mera shak toh sahi hai, aap bahut bhure ho

Maan: hare Geet, tum itni choti baat ko lekhe mujhse naraaz ho gayi?

Geet: choti baat?

Maan: haan, ab chalo, jaldhi karo, hummed her ho rahi hai, mein vada kartha hoon ki agle bar mein pacca time pe aatha, tere madat karne

Maan gives a dirty look…..

Geet: kya? Aap toh pagal ho gaye ho, pehle chalo yahan se

Maan: nahi, ye mera ghar hai, mein nahi jaoonga

Geet: teek hai, aap apne ghar pe hi beitto, mein chalthi hoon

Geet runs away…..

Maan ko patha hai ki ye kahin nahi bhaag sakthi…..

Neeche jaakke Maan ka intrezaar hi karegi….

Let her wait for a while…….

Geet daudkke neeche jaathi….

Maan looks at her running down the stairs and wonders where she gets the energy?

Ek minute bhi ek jagah pe nahi beitthi….

Barryji ne sahi kaha, ye ladhki toh chalthi phirthi disaster hai, haina?

Maan bhi jaantha…kahin phir se ye girthi toh Maan ko hi pakadna padega, haina?

Maan also goes …..

Ab Maan bhi zyada dher Geet se dhoor nahi reh saktha haina?

Dekhthe hai ki Geet kya kar rahi hai?

Maan ki pareshaani toh alag hai….kahin Geet Dadi se kuch ulta seedha bolthi toh?

Dadi se pehle baat karna padega…..

Dadi toh pehle hi pareshaan hai humme aaise ek dusre se ladthe hue dekhkke…..

maan ko kya patha?

Dadi ne toh bahut pehle hi decide karliya hai ki Geet hi Maan ki biwi banegi, bas indonno ki muh se sunne ke liye hi taras rahi haina?

Maan just moves….

Geet comes back running…….

Maan: Geet, tum wapas aagayi? Mujhe chodkke kaise jaoogi?

Geet bahut pareshaan hai…..

She just comes and hugs him tight….

She is so scared……bahut dari hui hai…..

Kahin Dadi ne toh Geet ko kuch kaha nahi?

Nahi, ye toh bahut serious baat lagtha….warna Geet itna kyun darthi…..

She has gone pale……as if she has seen a ghost…..
