Chapter 74

                                                                Part - 73

 At KM...

Maan is still working hard to get the situation under control...

everyone is scared as Maan is so tensed and would easily explode at any moment...

they better leave him alone...

the last thing they want is to disturb him now...

Adi is the one most affected ...

he doesn't know whether to tell him that lunch time has passed and Maan has forgot his lunch...he may be starving...

he thinks it's safe to leave him hungry rather tell him and get roasted like a tandoori chicken...Maan is as hot as a tandoor now...

Maan notices Adi standing there for a while...

Maan: kya hai?

Adi: kuch nahi, kuch bhi nahi bhai

Maan: phir mere muh dekhke kyun kadhe ho? koi kaam nahi hai kya?

Adi: haina

Maan: toh jao, apna kaam karo

Adi: ji bhai

 At the hospital...

"Mrs.Geet Khurana...Mrs.Geet Khurana..."

Geet comes back to the present...

Waqt kitna badal gaya haina?

Par waqt ke saath saath insaan bhi kyun badaltha hai?

Khaas hum waise hi rethe jaise pehle the?

Geet gets rid of these thoughts and goes inside...

Yes...she is pregnant...for the secomd time...

But instead of being happy Geet is overcome by some strange fear and she starts questioning herself would this be right? Is this the right time? Is this necessary at this stage of their life when they are well settled as a happy family? How is she going to look after this child? Is she ready for this? Will her Maan be with her this time too? Will she be able to manage on her own if not? Does she believe in herself now? She is feeling so low and let down now...she keeps thinking about a hundred things at the same time...every thing seemed to be gloomy, nothing clear, she is also happy that they are blessed with another child and this could be a girl, haan Maan is fond of girls, he wanted Ved to be a girl, he wanted a nanni Geet, he wanted to live their childhood days once more with that little Geet growing up reminding him of Geet in her evry move...Maan chahatha tha ki ladhki ho jo Geet ki parchayi ho aur woh choti pari Maneet ko unki bachpan wapas lekhe jaathi...

Maan would have loved to tease Geet that she also used to be like that whenever his little daughter came to him to complain, whenever she gets scared in the darkness, whenever she starts crying for little things like her mother...

Suddenly Geet thinks that maybe this is what will bring their happiness back, bring those lovely days back, this is what Maan needs the most now, a short sweet break from his problems, and most probably this is what Geet needs now...to get Maan's attention back on her...get Maan back into the family, to get his love back...Geet knows that this is not the way it should be, they should happily welcome this new member without any expectations and any reservations...

Geet is now determined to have this child no matter what happens, she wants this child, she is happy with this now, she thinks that may be Maan would also be happyily surprised to hear this and would rush to see her like he did earlier...she calls Maan, maybe he will come and pick her up...

Maan's new office is near here only...

The phone keeps ringing, she patiently waits till the last ring...

"sorry, the person you are calling doesn't answer...no answer..."

Geet is disappointed...

Aaise bhi kya kaam hai, mera phone tak nahi attend kar sakthe...

She decides to go and see him in the office...

Then she remembers that Maan never likes such intrusion...

She gets back to the house and waits for him to call back...

It's lunch time and Geet thinks that maybe now he will take her call...

She calls back...

This time too there is no response...the phone keeps ringing...

Geet is fed up with this attitude...

Ye samjthe kya apne aapko?

But she is worried, shayad koi badhi problem ho gayi ho?

She tries to call him repeatedly, but in vain...

She then calls Adi...

Adi: halo Geet

Geet: Adi bhai, Maan wahi haina?

Adi: haan Geet, bhai toh subhe se yahi hai

Geet: koi problem toh nahi?

Adi: nahi Geet, lagtha hai ki ab sare problems teek ho gaye

Geet: Maan busy hai kya?

Adi: haan Geet, bhai phone pe kissi se baat kar rahe hai

Geet ko lagtha ki Maan ka mobile se baat kar raha hoga...

Toh itna missed call dekhkke bhi Maan ne Geet ko call kyun nahi kiya?

Geet is very upset...maybe he is still angry with her...

Par Maan kissi aur ke mobile se hi baat kar raha hai, uska mobile abhi bhi Adi ke pocket mein hi hai...

Maan looks for his mobile and thinks that it may be in his cabin and gets another mobile fron his staff...

Geet: kya?

Adi: haan, Geet, hum jeet gaye, ye project successful hoga

Geet: mein bahut kush hoon, babaji hamesha hammara saath hai

Adi: haan Geet, bhai abhi abhi Arjun sir se yahi baat batha rahe hai

Maan pehle Arjun ko ye bathana chahatha tha kyunki ab Arjun ko kissi ne daradiya tha ki Maan ne bahut badhi galthi kardhi aur usska paisa wapas nahi aayega

Arjun had full faith in Maan that he never asked him anything about the rumours...

But when Maan came to know about that he wanted to make it clear that he is here to succeed at any cost...there is no way he is going to succumb to the pressure built by such rumours...

Arjun is happy with the proceedings and he wishes to come and see the work himself...

Maan invites him immediately and Arjun accepts...

Maan waits for Arjun and they talk about the new project for a long time...

Geet waits for Maan's call and his good news...

She knows that Maan would be waiting to share his success with her...

He knows that Geet is equally worried about his success as he is...

But Maan had totally forgotten her in his anxiety and excitement...

And after Arjun came they went back to their past memories...

Geet too goes back to the past...

When she delivered for the first time...

Maan was so happy then...

When Ved came and Geet had to take care of him she always looked up to Maan for everything...

Maan got all the latest baby care products for her and she never bothered about them, whenever she needed something she just called Maan and Maan would get that for her...

Geet would get to know about the new arrivals from Sam and she would just order Maan to get them, Maan would break his head to find what that was and where on earth would he get that, for Sam would have just got to know about it from some magazine and that would not be available in Delhi, but since Geet wanted something Maan had to get that for her and he would somehow get it with his influence among his clients abroad...or he would get them when he is on a business tour...he made that extra effort to go out and find what she wanted...

"Maan, ye dekho baby thermometer"

"Maan, aapko patha hai aajkal baby wipes milthe hai"

"maan, ye koi naya detergent hai, baby ke kapde ke liye"

"Maan, ye baby seat kitna achca haina?"

Geet would show some cutting...

That time there was no net to goolgle and find it out and get it delivered at your doorstep...

Geet kahin se bhi chunke chunke Ved ke liye sab se best dena chahathi aur Maan ki har qwaish pura kartha...patha nahi iss Geet ko ghar beitkke itne sare informations kahan se milthe...

Hare, hum aurathon ko toh har cheez ki kabar ghar beitkke beitkke asaani se miljaathe haina?

Koi na koi toh baby se milne zaroor aathe aur baby ko palne ki lambe bahsan dethe aur naye naye products ke barein mein bathathe...

Aur sam aur Annie ka timepass hi Geet ko sare magazines aur friends se baby care ke details bathana hi haina? Aaise ye donno Geet ko kabar karthe rehthe aur Maan ko hi pareshaan karthe rehthe the...

Aaise hi ek bar jab Geet ko dhoodh kam ho gaya tha aur Geet bahut udhaas ho gayi thi...

Maan tried to console her that it's quiet normal and nowadays a lot of sopplements are available and there is no reason to panic...

But no one could convince her and she was so disturbed...

"mein kaisi maa hoon? Apne bachche ko dhoodh bhi nahi pila sakthi?"

"meinne teek se apna khyaal nahi rakha toh aaise ho gaya"

Maan ye dekhkke bahut upset hotha aur aaise hi chaltha toh Geet ki tabyat bahut bigadjaatha...

Maan Geet ko damki detha ki aaise hi apne aap ko takleef dethi toh Maan ko ek baby sitter lana padega aur Geet ko kuch din Ved se dhoor rakhna padega...

Dadi ke paas iss problem ki solution tha aur Dadi Geet ke liye koi medicine banakke dethi...

Maan aur Adi rathon raat Hoshiarpur chalkke woh dawa lekhe aaye the...

Geet raat bar Maan ka intrezaar karthi rahi thi...

Maan toh Geet ke muskurahat wapas lane ke liye kya kuch nahi kartha?

Tab toh Maan Geet ka itna khyaal rakhtha ki Ranno bhi apni beti ki chintha karna hi chod dethi thi...

For Sam Ranno went and stayed with her for almost a year for her hubby is just a mere spectator when it comes to taking care of baby Rohan, and Ranno had to help Sam always...

But for Geet Maan made her work easier as Maan used to help Geet in bathing Ved to changing nappies...

Maan took good care of both Geet and Ved...

Sometimes Ved cried in the middle of the night...

Geet bahut dar jaathi aur Maan bhi Ved ko sulane ki koshish kartha...

Geet: Maan, isski tabyat toh teek hoga haina?

Maan: haan Geet, tum fikar mat karo, babaies aaise hi rothe hai

Geet: maybe he swallowed something

Maan: Geet, aaisa kuch nahi hai

Geet: hum doctor ke paas jaathe

Maan: itne raat ko?

Geet: Maan, aap humme lekhe jaathe ya mein kudh apne bte ko doctor ke paas lekhe jaoon

Maan: babaji, jab meinne issko gadhi chalana sikaya tha tab mujhe patha nahi ki ye aaise aadi raat ko mujhe blackmail karegi

Geet: Maan, chabhi lao, abhi

Maan: hare Geeet, ek minute, mein aatha hoon

Geet: chalo

Maan: hare change toh karne do

Maan apne track suit mein hai...                                      

Geet: yahi achcha hai, aao

Geet takes Ved and walks to the car...

Maan had to follow her...

As they drive half way to the hospital Ved falls asleep on her lap...

Maan smiles looking at her...

Geet: kyun hasthe ho? jaldhi chalo

Maan: ssshhh

Maan shows Ved sleeping...

Geet is relieved...

Maan turns the car back...

Geet: Maan, kya karthe ho?

Maan: Geet, ghar wapas nahi jaana hai kya?

Geet: nahi

Maan: kya?

Geet: Maan mujhe ghar nahi jaana hai

Maan: Geet, itne raat ko tumme ghar nahi toh kahan jaana hai?

Geet: kahin bhi lekhe jao

Maan just keeps driving...

Maan: Geet, ab toh ghar chalein?

Geet: haan

Maan drives faster as there is no one on the road...

Geet: Maan, thoda dhere chalona, itna bhi kya jaldhi hai?

Maan slows down...

Geet keeps staring him...

Maan turns and looks at her puzzled...

Maan: aaise kya dekh rahi ho Geet?

Geet knows Maan is too tired and has had sleepless nights often , but still here he is with her at the wee hours of the night driving nowhere just to lift her spirits up...

She is overwhelmed with gratitude and her love for him keeps increasing day by day...

MSK jitna bhi gussa kartha usse zyada pyaar bhi katha, haina?

Pyaar karna toh koi MSK se seekein...

Geet: Maan, I love you

Maan stops the car immediately...

Maan looks at his Mishty...

She is overwhelmed with joy...

Geet: Maan, aap bahut achche ho

Maan shuts her mouth...

Maan: chup bilkul chup, mere paas aao

Geet gets closer...

Maan kisses her...

Maan: I love you too Geet

Geet enjoyed that ride so much that they used to go for rides at midnight often ...
