Laga Chunri Mein Daag... Part - 4

                   Part – 4

She keeps looking at it….can HE make it happen?

Her sister stares her with her eyes wide open….

Geet is reminded of the past one month she spent with Dadi….

Those were the only few nights she slept on her own…..

Those were the only few days that she woke up with a smile…

Dadi would wake her up with a warm smile…

A smile spreads on her lips….a cute smile….from the heart….

Her sister had never seen such a peaceful and divine smile on Geet….

Though her sister wanted ro ask Geet a 1000 questions she keeps mum for the fear of losing that smiling didi….really happy….sure she had something to smile atlast…

She prays to ganesha to keep that smile lasting on her sister's face…..

Alas!...That smile doesn't last long….

Just then , she hears foot steps….someone's coming….

They can't leave her in peace even for a day….

Geet hides her sister inside….

She goes and opens the door….

It's Maan…..

He had a tough time reaching her house for the girls kept pulling him…..

He is a little worried….worried for all those innocent souls….      

Geet: tum?

Maan pushes her in and goes and sits on the chair……

Geet: halo, ye mera ghar hai

Maan: patha hai, issiliye toh aaya hoon

Geet: kya?

Maan: pani milega?

Her sister brings water…..

Maan: thanks God koi toh mere aane se kush hai

Her sister stands there ….but Geet doesn't bother much….

Her sister is surprised…..hamesha kissi mard ke samne aane se mana karthi…..

Lagtha hai Geet ke muskurahat ke peeche inkka hi haath hai….

She is happy for her sister…..atlast she found someone who is different from the rest…

Geet: tum mujhe chain se jeene nahi doge?

Maan: tum kahan mujhe chain se jeene dethi?

Geet: tum kya apne aap ko bahut bada mahaan samajthe ho?

Maan: meinne aaise kab kaha?

Geet: phir ye sab kya hai? tumme kissi abla nari ko zindagi dene ka shok haina? Toh teek hai, isse shadhi akrlo

She drags her sister and pushes her infront of him…..

She is shocked….poor girl….she looks at him with scary eyes….

Maan gets really angry….

Maan: tum andar jao

Her sis leaves….

Maan: sach mein Geet, tum pagal ho gayi ho

Geet: ab tum chalthe ho ya mein chilakke sab ko bhulaoon

Maan: chilakke dekho, koi nahi aayega

Geet: kya?

Maan: yahan sabko patha hai ki mein kaun hoon?

Geet: what? Tum apne aapko kya samajthe ho?

Maan: the great Maan Singh Khurana, aur kya?

Geet: ab tum jaathe ho ya mein police ko bhulaoon, mein AC ko jaanthi hoon

Maan: kya?

Maan laughs….

Maan: usski koi zaroorat nahi, mein chaltha hoon, lekhin isska matlab ye nahi hai ki mein wapas nahi aaonga, mein wapas aaonga Geet, apne Dulhan ko le jaane ke liye

Just as their eyes meet for a second the FM goes…..

                Pyaar hua ikraar hau hai pyarr se kyun dartha hai dil?

                Kehtha hai dil rastha mushkil maloom nahi hai kahan manzil?

Both feel that this is apt for them too…..

Kitne saal ho gaye? Abhi bhi pyaar karne wale waise ke waise hi hai…..

Maan leaves leaving his heart behind…..

Badle mein Geet ne apna dil nahi diya haina?

Par Maan asaani se har nahi manega……

Geet kudh apne dil nahi dethi toh kya hua? Maan zabardasthi cheenlega…..

When he leaves the house there is already a big crowd outside……

Maan: Adiii

Adi comes running…..

Adi: ji sir

Maan: tum jaanthe hona ki ye ab mera ghar hai aur Geet meri hai

He wants to tell them that Geet is not in the business anymore….

Maan: suna aap logon ne? aaj se Geet ko koi disturb nahi karega, woh Maan Singh Khurana ki mangetar hai

Adi is stunned…..as is everyone….

Maan: toh Adi, take care, mein chaltha hoon, jaldhi milenge

Maan leaves…….

Adi gets in….

Adi: Geet, ye mein kya sun raha hoon?

Geet: kya?

Adi: kya tum sach mien Maan Singh Khurana ko shadhi karne wali ho? tum bahut lucky ho Geet

Adi gets very excited…..

Geet: tumme kaise patha?

Adi: abhi abhi unhonne bahar bathaya tha, sara mohalla chaunk gaya

Geet: kya? usski ye himmat?

She goes out and everyone runs and hides…..

Geet: ab mera kaam kaise chalega? Koi bhi ab yahan nahi aayega

Adi: tumme toh kush hona chahiye Geet

Geet: tum bhi usski bakwaas bathon pe viawaas karthe ho?

Adi: meinne suna hai ki MSK kabhi joot nahi boltha

Geet: tumme samaj mein nahi aatha usska plan, ab hum kaise business karenge, mein ussko chodnewali nahi hoon, usse hi mere nuksan ko dena padega

She needs money for everything….

To pay everyone from the local broker to the unknown don to keep her place for herself…

For her little freedom of choice that money had given her…..

The minute you run out of money this hell will swallow you forever….

Most importantly for her children….she almost panics…..

Geet searches her mobile……

Adi: kya doondh rahi ho? ye lo

Adi hands a briefcase….

Geet: ye kya hai?

Adi: woh Maan sir ne diya hai

Geet: Maan sir? Adiii

Adi leaves…..

Geet opens it…..it's raw cash…..

She finds a note……

"I know you are cursing me now, but darling you are mine now, I have booked you for the next 10 days….here's 24 lakhs, be ready, I'll be there any minute…..MSK"

Geet can't understand this man…..

He surprise her everytime…..

For the next two days no word from Maan….

And no call from anyone….not even Rahul…..

Meanwhile Adi and Pinky insists Geet to marry Maan and get out of this palce first….

Geet is not ready…..

Geet: mein kaise jaa sakthi?

Adi: Geet, tum usse shadhi karkke bhi sabki madat kar sakthi

Geet: bar mujhe koi bahar ka aadmi pe koi barosa nahi hai, kya guarantee hai ki ye bhi dus din mein mujhe nahi chodega?

Adi: ye aaisa aadmi nahi hai

Geet: aur mein yahan se chale jaathi toh inn bachon ka kya hoga? Sab mujhpe kitna viswaas karthe hai, agar mein hi shadhi karkke chale jaathi toh koi apna bache ko school nahi bhejega, mein unka viswaas kaise thod sakthi?

Pinky: ye tummari galat fami hai Geet, yahan koi tummare barein mein itna uncha nahi sochtha, patah hai ki log kya kehteh hai? tum bhi toh wahi karthi ho, tumpe kaise viswaas karein? Issiliye zyada log apne bachon ko hummare hawala nahi karna chahathe hai

Geet: kya?

Adi: haan Geet, pehle tum badlo, phir log apne aap viswaas karenge

Pinky: haan, Geet

Geet: par, shadhi?

Pinky: kyun hum shadhi nahi kar sakthe?

Geet: par Pinky, shadhi toh ek dusre ke viswaas par bantha hai, ye rihstha barose se hotha hai, aur hummare jaise logon pe kaun barosa karega?

Adi: unkko tum pe pura barosa hai Geet

Pinky: haan Geet

Geet: nahi, mujhse nahi hoga

Adi: tumme ek baat bathaoon

Adi looks at Pinky…..

Pinky sharmathi hai…..

Geet is puzzled…..

Adi: humne shadhi karli

Geet: kya? kab?

Adi: jab tum yatra pe gayi thi tab

Geet: Mubarak ho Pinky, mein bahut kush hoon

                Pinky: tum bhi shadhi karlo Geet

                Adi: haan Geet

                Geet: nahi, mujhe shadhi nahi karni

                Geet is stubborn….

                She knows that it's impossible for her to get out of here…

She is not just anyother girl….

She has a lot of commitments…

She can't run away from them….

She had to keep entertaining a lot of people specially that politician if she wants her school to run and to keep the bad guys in check….

Jis din geet ye sab chodegi, ussi din sab katam ho jayega…..

Geet aaise kaise hone degi?

Apne swaarth ke liye kitne massom bachon ki bawishya ko karab nahi kar sakthi….

Aur unn maaoon ko kya jawaab degi, jinhonne Geet pe viswaas kiya hai….

Apne kudh ke pariwaar se ladhkke Geet ko saath diya hai….

Ye shadhi nahi ho sakthi…it's impossible….

                That night she gets a call from the local politician….

                She gets ready and leaves for the usual hide out…usske farm house….

                Itne din badh mera yaad kaise aaya?

                Biwi ghar pe nahi hogi?

                Geet enters and everyone greets her with respect….

                 What? This is strange….they always look at her like a peice os flesh….

                Poklitician: aao Geet

Geet: namasthe ji

Geet tries to get closer for a hug but he moves back…..

He nods his head….: not me….

Geet is puzzled….

He shows the stairs….

Poli: koi khaas mehmaan tumse milne aaye hai, upar tummara intrezaar kar rahe hai….sambalkke

He winks…..

Geet is annoyed…..

Aur kitne logon ko sambalna padega?

She just climbs the stairs and reaches the master bed room….

It's dark except for a lone candle….

She finds a figure coming towards her….

She immediately recognizes it…..

Geet: tum?

Yes, it's Maan again……

Maan: haan mein, jahan bhi jaooge mujhe hi paooge

Geet: tum kab se writer bangaye ho?

Maan: jab se tumme mila tab se mein writer, director, shayar aur patha nahi kya kya ban gaya, ab bas tummara pathi banna hi bakhi hai

Geet: aur pagal bhi ban gaye ho

Maan: haan, tummare pyaar mein pagal

Geet: ye mazak karne ka waqt nahi, tum yahan kaise?

Maan: ussne bathaya nahi? Mein hi tummara khaas mehmaan hoon

Geet: tum issko kaise jaanthe ho?

Maan: what? Tummara sawaal hi galat hai, ye mujhe kaise jaantha? Aaise poocho…

Geet: kya?

Maan: lagtha hai ki tum politics nahi jaanthi

Geet: mujhe politics mein koi interest nahi hai

Maan: hare, aaise mat kaho, meinne kya kya soch ke rakha hai tummare barein mein

Geet: tum aaise hi din mein sapne dekhthe raho

Maan: sapne bhi sach hothe hai Geet

Geet: ye sab sunne ke liye achcha hotha hai, par aaisa kuch nahi hotha

Maan: agar Maan Singh Khurana chahe toh kuch bhi kar saktha

Geet: tum kuch nahi kar sakthe, ye log ke paas power hai

Maan: ye power kahan se aaya? Mere paison se

Geet: kya?

Maan: haan, tumme kya lagtha, ye logon ke paas itna paisa kahan se aatha? Hum businessmen dethe hai inkko paisa

Geet: tum kyun dethe ho?

Maan: Geet, mere Dadaji ex-MLA hai, aur hum issi party ko support karthe hai, Dadaji logon ko madat karne ke liye MLA bane, par jab politicians swarthy hone lage, Dadaji left the party,but we still patronise this party, ye neeche kada haina, ussko bhi hummare papa ne hi seat dilaya tha, dekho mere samne kitna natak kar raha hai, aur tujhe hi mere liye bhejtha hai, kamina

Geet: toh ye bhi aapka hai?

Maan: haan

Geet: mujhe ullu bana rahe ho kya?

Maan: tumme yakheen nahi hotha?

Geet: nahi

Maan: abhi dekho

Maan calls the politician…..

Poli: haan lalla, bolo, kya baat hai?

Maan cooly orders cool drinks for them….

Geet is surprised….

That man himself gets the cool drinks….

He smiles at Maan and leaves politely shuting the door behind….

Maan: hummare pariwaar ne issiliye politics choda ki woh ab kadhda bangaya, par ab mujhe sanaj mein aagaya ki agar humme iss kachde ko saaf karna hai toh iss mein oana kadam rakhna hi padega, apne pher gandhe honne se darthe rahe toh kissi din ye humme pura ka pura duba dega

Geet: ab mujhe patha chala ki tum itne lambe lambe bashan kyun dethe ho? politician haina?

Maan: mein soch raha tha ki agla ticket kissko milna chahiye?

Geet: tumme politics mein interest hai?

Maan: nahi, I hate it, kya karein? tere kliye toh kuch bhi karne kle liey tayaar ho gaya

Geet: toh mere liye kya kya karoge?

Maan: tumme power chahiye apne maksat puri karne ke liye

Geet: toh tum agla MLA banjaooge

Maan: nahi, mujhe mera business hai, extra business ki koi zaroorat nahi

Geet: phir?

Maan: agla ticket toh zaroor koi Khurana ko hi milegea, kyat um khuaran banne ke liye tayaar ho?

Geet goes and hugs him….

Geet: haan mujhe bhi Khurana banna hai, aaise aise Khurana nahi, Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana, sir Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana banna hai mujhe, aur kuch nahi, tum MLA banjao

Maan: nahi Geet, ye tummari zameendari hai

Geet: kya? meri zameendari?

Maan: aaise mat dekho, mein tummare responsibilities ko share karne ke liye tayaar hoon, par mujhse zyada tumme iss powers ki zaroorat hai, tumme abhi bhi kissi pe dependent hona nahi chahiye, mujhpe bhi dependent nahi hona chahiye, biwi banna alag hai, par tumme hamesha independent hona chahoye, tabhi toh tum apne sapne ko sach bana sakthi

Geet: ho gayi?

Maan: aur tummare power aur mere paisa milgaya toh hum saath mein iss duniya hiladenge, haina?

Geet: ek baat bathaoon

Maan:kya?

Geet: tum bahut achche ho

Maan: kya? mein ye sunne ke liye itna kuch kar raha tha

Maan looks disappointed…

Geet: phir kya sunna chahathe ho?

Maan grabs her closer…..

Maan: bahi kaho Geet, aone mann ki baat

Geet: mujhe sharam aathi ahi

Geet closes her eyes…

Maan: aaise nahi, mere aankhon mein aankhen dalkke bathao Geet

Geet looks into his eyes and says…: mein aapse shadhi karna chahathi hoon

Maan stares…..

Geet: batahthi hoon, I Love You Maan Singh khurana

Geet shouts her heart out……

Maan takes her lips into his…..

Maneet marriage……SR……

Geet waits anxiously….

This is not the first time for her….

That doesn't make things easier…actually it is more complicated….

She is scared that what is in store for her…..

Maan comes and switches off the lights….

She is feling guilty….

Kya mein isske layak hoon?

Maan: Geet, zyada sochne ki zarooart nahi, tum mere zarooart thi ab mere zindagi ho gayi, mein tummare bina adura hoon Geet, ye mere swarth hai ki meinne tumse shadhi ki, apne liye shadhi kiya hai Geet, aur meinne koi ehsaan nahi kiya hai, samji?

Geet keeps silent….

Maan: mein tumme pehle nazar se hi pyaar karne laga tha Geet, jab tumme pehel bar uss NGO mein mila tha

Geet: toh tum mujhe party mein nahi mile?

Maan: nahi, mujhe laga tum wahan kaam karthi ho

Geet: aur dhoka kha gaye?

Maan: nahi, tumne har bar mujhe surprise kiya aur jab jab mujhe terebarein mein kuch nayi baat patha chala mera pyaar aur badgaya, kabhi bhi kam nahi hua

Geet: tum joot ahcche se bolthe ho

Maan: haan pehle bar tummare barein mein jaankke nafrat kiya tah, gussa hua, par woh issiliye mein tumme dusron ke saath nahi dekh paya

Geet: achcha?

Maan: haan Geet, jab se meri nazar tumpe padi tum meri ho gayi thi, tum sirf meri ho Geet, Maan ki Geet

Maan handles her so gently for the fear of hurting her….

Geet never felt so comfortable and confident……

She liked his care and concern……

Maan makes the moves with so much love and lets her to be the dominant partner for a change….but as his love for her crosses the limits he starts dominating which Geet loved very much……

Ye thi ek Geet ki kahaani…..

This is just one of my day dreams…..

There is no MSK in the real world……

Kash aaisa hotha?

            so thats the other one...

            chalo badao, kaunsa ending pasand aaya?
