Chapter 40

                      Part - 38

Dadi has given up all her hopes after she realized that even someone like Geet couldn't change him for the better...

He has ruined his future himself and dadi didn't want to ruin Geet's life too...

Dadi thinks that Maan doesn't deserve Geet and her affection...

Maan finds solace in drinking...

But this time he feels guilty whenever he is sane and he keeps himself intoxicated to overcome that guilt...

He knows somehow that he is letting down someone...

He knows very well that Geet's anger would turn into hatred when she comes to know that he is drinking again...

But he couldn't control himself for he has become so addictive...beyond any rehab...

Geet on the other hand keeps thinking about Maan 24*7 and worries about Dadi too...

She decides to meet Dadi once and tell her everything... Why she has stopped coming to KM?

Why she has distanced herself from Maan...

Geet goes to meet dadi next morning...

She finds no one in the house...

Nakul comes and tells her that Dadi is still asleep...

Geet is worried...

She asks Nakul where the hell his Maan Sir is?

Nakul says that eh had not returned home last night...

Geet rushes to see dadi...

Dadi is awake but is not feeling well...

She is so depressed that she hardly comes out of her room...

Dadi is surprised to see Geet...

Dadi: Geet bete, aap yahan?

Geet: dadi, aapki tabyat toh teek haina?

Dadi: haan bete

Geet: lekhin aapko dekhke aaise nahi lagtha

Geet checks her...she is alright...

Geet is relieved...

But she is very disturbed...

Geet: dadi, chalo hum aaj kahin bahar chalthe hai

Dadi: nahi bete, aap ko hospital jaana haina?

Geet: woh aaj mein chutti leloongi, aap jaldhi tayaar ho jao

Dadi: par bete, hummara mann nahi kartha kahin jaane ki

Geet: toh teek hai, aap mere saath Sanjeevani aayiye, sab se milthe toh aapko achcha lagega

Dadi: Geet

Dadi looks into her eyes...

Geet knows what's in her mind...

Geet: ji Dadi

Dadi: kuch nahi

Geet: dadi, aap Maan ke barein mein hi poochne wale the

Dadi looks worried...

Geet: mein sirf aapse milne aayi hoon

Dadi: hum jaanthe hai bete

Geet: aap bhura nahi manoge na?

Dadi: nahi toh, aapne bhi kitni koshish ki, ab unki taqdeer hi aaisa hai toh hum kya kar sakthe?

Geet is also very unhappy...

She tries to hide her feelings but Dadi knows everything...

She only hopes Maan realizes Geet's love one day...

Geet takes dadi to sanjeevani...

Everyone is happy to see dadi...

They all surround dadi and greet her...

They avoid talking about Maan for they didn't want to make her sad...

They try top keep her happy atleast for the time being...

Armaan feels that he should help Maan somehow...

Dadi thanks Geet for the outing and she promises to come and meet them often and leaves...

Geet is worried about Maan, he has not come home...

Where could he be?

She tells about it to Armaan but says that she is only concerned about Dadi...

Dadi is so frustrated with Maan's behavior...

Geet vents her anger on Armaan...

Geet: tum logon ko peena hai toh ghar beitke piyo, bahar jaake apna beizatti kyun karwana chahathe ho

Armaan blinks...

Geet: what?

Armaan: kuch nahi

Geet: you people never think about family

Ridhi stares Armaan...

Ridhi: haan

Armaan: what?

Ridhi winks...she is just trying to calm Geet...

Sid just comes...

Sid: hi Geet... tummara Maan kahan hai?

Armaan and Ridhi try to stop Sid...

Geet is already upset and this Sid would make her cry...

Geet: excuse me

Geet is almost in tears...

She leaves for she doesn't want the others to see her crying...

Ridhi is very upset...

Ridhi: geeet

Armaan stops ridhi...

Armaan: let her go, she needs to be left alone

Ridhi: but she is my friend

Armaan too wants to help Geet

Armaan shares his thoughts with ridhi...

Ridhi: haan, mujhe bhi bahut bhura lagtha hai

Armaan: humme hi kuch karna padega

Ridhi: mujhe lagtha hai ki humme Geet se baat karni chahiye

Armaan: nahi, Geet iss barein mein baat nahi karna chahathi

Ridhi: woh toh hai, par Geet hamesha udaas rehthi, kissi se baat bhi nahi karthio, mujhe toh Geet ki chintha hothi hai

Armaan: I know

Sid joins them...

He also wants to help them...

Sid: hare yaar, iss Maan ko kya ho gaya?

Ridhi: tum ladekhon ko toh dusron ki koi kadar hi nahi, dekha dadi ko, kitna dukhi hai

Sid: haan, mujeh lagtha hai ki dadi ka pyaar hi Maan ko bigada hai, ek bar mar kayega toh teek ho jayega

Sid gets angry...

Armaan: hai Mr.cool, what happened?

Sid: I just hate to see Geet like this, mujhse bhi baat nahi karthi

Armaan: haan, hum bhi issiliye pareshaan hai

Sid: but Maan is not a bad guy, he was so nice

Armaan: yeah, but the problem is he is an alcoholic

Ridhi: par pehle toh aaisa nahi tha?
