Chapter 5

                  Part - 5

Maan runs after Geet...

Geet is not aware of it...

She thinks that this is a golden opportunity which she shoudn't miss...

She goes ahead with her mission...

Maan thinks that it's preplanned...

How would she know evryhting about this place...

Maan had no idea what's inside this place...

He is using only a part of it and is not interested about the rest of the place...

And this is only his temporaray residence...

He has other plans for this prime site...

Looking at Geet Maan gets suspicious...

She has already come here...

Just as Maan follows her with suspicion, he got his answers immediatedly...

This girl navigates with such ease that even Maan finds difficult to navigate as it's still confusing for him...he doesn't have the time or was not interested in this place till then...

Maan has not cared much about this place as this is only his temporary abode...

More over most of the servants still believe the ghost srories related to this place abd no one dares to get to the rear block which is said to be haunted...

Maan had gone there but didn't find anything interesting...

He kept it closed and never bothered about it...

Geet just went to the rear block and tried to open it...

She found it locked and goes and gets the keys from their hiding place...

Even Maan had no idea about it before the broker showed him the keys hanging in the hands of an old bronze statue...maan thought that it's just part of the statue...it's holding a sword which inturn is the key holder...the owners must have felt this as a safe place to hide the keys...

Why do anyone want to hide the keys...

There is nothing precious inside...it's looks like a guest house...

Only used when there were guests at the house...

But how did she know about all this?

This girl is hiding something from us, Maan keeps following her...

Geet turns back and makes sure no one is there...

She dusts the palce and is lookin so sad...

She even had tears in her eyes...

She found something in the adjacent shelf and hurried to take it...

She struggled to reach it and took a stool and stood on it to reach it...

In her anxiety she stepped on a corner and the stool fell off it's balance...

Geet too fell, but Maan was right behind her and he catched her...

Geet looked at him...Maan is not able to take his eyes off her...

She looks like an angel...maan keeps staring at her...

Geet: ohhh, aaap?

Geet is shocked...

Maan lets her down...he is very angry...

Maan: tummare himmat kaise hui mere ghar mein aaise chori chori gusne ki?

Geet: aap galat samajthe ho

Maan: tum yahan kya karhe aayi ho? sach sach bathao, aur tumme kaise patha hai ki chabhi kahan hai?

Geet has no answers...she keeps mum...

Maan: wahan kya hai? Hatto

Maan searches the shelf and finds out a photo frame...

It's covered with dust...

Maan: ye, tum isse dhoondh rahi thi?

Maan is even more shocked...

Geet snatches it from him, dusts it with her duppatta...and looks at the photo fondly...

Her eyes filled with tears...

Maan looks at the picture...

It's apicture of a couple, maybe the previous owners...

And who is this small girl...that girl has a striking resemblance with Geet...

Maan: sach sach bathao, tum kaun ho?

Geet points to that little girl on that picture...

Maan: ye tum ho?

Maan can't believe what he heard...

Geet: haan

Maan: toh ye tummara ghar hai?

Geet: nahi

Maan: what? Phir ye tummara tasveer kaisa ho saktha?

Geet: aapko yakheen nahi hotha?

Maan still can't believe her words...

Maan: nahi, tum inkke beti ho, tumme koi aur ne adopt kar liya hai kya?

Maan ko laga ki ye apne asli parents ko dhoondhkke yahan aayi hai...

Geet: nahi, ye mere mabaap nahi hai

Maan is even more confused...

Maan: ab tum bataoogi bhi ki yahan kya ho raha hai ya nahi

Maan shouts...

Geet: aapko itna gussa kyun aatha? Aap ko patha bhi hai ki ye kaun hai?

Maan: haan, lagtha hai ki yahi iss ghar ke malik hai

Geet: haan, ye meri mausi hai, Meera mausi

Maan: kya?

Geet: haan, ye hummara Meera mausi ka ghar hai

Maan: tumme patha hai ki ye kaise mar gayi?

Maan knows that this women commited suicide and that's why this place is believed to be haunted...

Geet: haan, inhonne aathmahathya karliya tha

Maan: toh tum sab kuch jaanthe ho?

Geet: kaise nahi jaanthi? Ye mera dusra ghar hai, ye mere mabaap jaise hi hai

Maan looks at her as if to ask why did her mausi commit suicide?

Maan: woh tummare mausaji, woh itna bhura the?

Maan has heard that this women died b'coz of her husband...

Geet gets angry...

Geet: aap kya jaanthe ho unkke barein mein? Aap na, unkke barein mein baat bhi mat karna, kahan aap aur kahan woh?

Maan: kya? Tum mere barein mein kya jaanthi?

Geet: aap na? duniya se sabse bade Dhust danav ho, dekha sab kaise aapse darthe hai? aur dekho aapne mere haath ko kaise pakda hai, chodo mujhe, mere haddiyan thodkke rahoge kya?

            Maan realizes he is holding her tight...he thought that she would run away...

Geet: mein kahin nahi bhaagnewali aapke yahan chori karkke, samje aap?

Geet is very angry and blasts him...

He lets her off...

Geet looks at her hands...they have turned red...she is in pain...

She runs off...

Maan stays there for a few minutes and then he also returns locking it...

He keeps thinking about Geet the whole week and is waiting for her to return that Sunday...

He had that picture with him always and keeps staring at that little girl...

He wants to know more about her...

That girl looked so happy swinging in their arms...but this Geet is always looking sad...

She looks as if she has lost something and had come here in search of it...

What was she looking for? Did she get it?

Will she return to get it?

But she doesn't come that Sunday...

Maan is a little disappointed...

As he has gotten used to meeting her on Sundays he was eagerly anticipating her arrival...

And she is the only guest at KM... she also doesn't need any invitation...

Maan is not someone who would invite anyone home...

There is no one that Maan could invite...

That's strange...Maan has cut off his links with a few relatives back in their village after Dadi left...and they came for dadi's sake only...

That Sunday seemed to be a very long one...

Maan kept looking for the only guest and her absence disturbs him a lot...

That week doesn't go well for him...

He couldn't concentrate on his work at all...

Adi and the others really had a tough time handling DD at office...

When at home Maan kept wandering in the garden and the back yard where he finds solace in Geet's memories...

This girl has made him crazy...
