Chapter 28

                      Part - 28

A few guests accompany Maneet home, along with dadi...

Dadi has asked the ladies to come help her...

They have a small function, just like mehendi and haldhi...

Dadi asks Maan to take rest as it's only a ladies function...

They only want Geet to be present...

And the ladies are all set to beautify Geet...

Geet is confused...ye kaunsa naya function hai...

Aur ab mujhe hi kyun itna attention dethe hai...

Dadi says that Geet is the new bride and they should make sure that she looks like an angel tonight...aaj party ka heroine toh Geet hi hai...

Some of them discuss about her dress and matcing jewellery...

Some of them take her to the showers...

Geet is feeling shy and she syas she will manage on her own...

They get the bath tub ready and let Geet relax and go...

As Geet is chilling she thinks about Maan...

What would Maan be doing? He would be tensed that Geet has suddenly taken the centre stage and everyone had been neglecting him...

But Geet didn't ask for anything, they treat her like a princess...

All b'coz of Savithri Dadi, she was such a kind and nice person helping everyone and so they all want to show Geet that Savithri dadi's bahu is not alone and they are always there for her...just like Dadi had been standing for them when they were in trouble...

They think that it is their duty to fulfill Dadi's dreams, Maan had finally got married but it seems like an accident more than a wedding, so Geet shoudn't regret that she didn't have a proper wedding, they don't want her to miss the fun and formalities of a fat Indian wedding...

Geet keeps thinking about her Dhust sanav and there he is sitting next to her...

Geet blushes thinking that it's her imagination...

Btu Maan has actually peeped in to see what's going on and found his Mishti all alone...

He couldn't miss this chance to drool...

Geet splashes water on the image as she is thinking that it's only a dream...

Geet: cahle jao yahan se, thoda toh sharam karlo, besharam, dikahyi nahi dethi? Mein naha rahi hoon

Geet thought that Maan would vanish...

But he is still there...

Geet: hare, ye kaisa sapna hai?

Geet splashes more water...maan holds her hand and stops her...

Geet realizes by the touch that it's Maan hmself...

She just freezes...she feels a thousand volts passimg down her fragile body...

Maan could feel the shiver...

Maan: kya hua Geet? tumitne dar kyun gayi?

Geet is speechless...

Maan: ab teri bolthi kyun band ho gayi?

Maan keeps staring her and pouring water over her face...

Geet gets up in a shock...and looses her balance...

Maan catches hold of her as she falls...

Maan: Geeet

Maan bahut gabragaya ...

Geet: aap yahan kya kar rahe ho? mei Dadi ko bhulathi hoon, Daaaddiii

Geet tries to shout...

Maan closes her mouth...

Maan: chup, bilkul chup

Maan is embarrassed as he hears someone running hearing Geet's voice...

Maan hides behing the screen...

Lady: kya hua Geet?

Geet: kuch nahi, cockroach

Maan gets angry, mujhe cockroach kaha?

Lady: ye sheher ke ladhkiyan bhi na? aawein dar jaathe ho, kahan hai

She tries to enter and search...

Geet smiles...: chala gaya, aap jayiye

Lady: jaldhi nahalo, aur isse pehenkke neeche aao

Geet: ji

After that lady went Maan comes out...

Maan: mein kya cockroach laghta hoon?

Geet: meinne aapko bachane ki koshsish kiya tha aur aapko bhura lag gaya?

Maan: tum cockroach se itna drthi ho?

Geet: nahi toh, mein yuhi bolthi thi

Maan: achcha, toh wahan dekho, tummara friend

Geet jumps towards Maan and Maan pulls her and hugs her...

Geet is lost in that passionate hug...

Dadi: Geeet puthar

Maan escapes...Geet: aathi hoon Dadi

All are awaiting Geet's arrival...

Geet goes down and after haldhi, mehendi lagathe hai...

 Geet had really missed Maan ke naam ke mehendhi...

She is very happy that dadi thought of this...

And the ladies have a small sangeet...

" Mehendhi lagakke rakhna

   Doli sajaake rakhna

  Lene tujhe oh gori

  Aayega tera sajna"

Maan keeps watching Geet from the balcony...

Geet thoda bangra bhi karthi sab ke saath...

Maan wished he was there too...

It's dinner time and Maan comes down for dinner...

His eyes look for Geet and he finds her missing...

Maan is disappointed, kahin Geet aaj bhi dadi ke saath toh nahi chali gayi?

Maan looks worried...dadi smiles...

Dadi: Maan, kissko dhoondhthe ho?

Maan: Dadi, Geet kahan hai?

Dadi: fikar mat karo, aaj mein teri biwi ko churake nahi jaoongi, ab toh woh teri amanat hai

Maan smiles...

After dinner the guest leave and Dadi too gets ready to leave...

Maan is puzzled that Geet is missing...

Dadi: ab hum bhi bhlathe hai bte

Maan: bahut bahut shukriya Dadi, aap ne Geet ki itne madat kiya hai

Dadi: dadi hothe kiss liye bte, ab tum bhi tak gaye hoge, jao, sojao

Maan: ye Geet kahin nazar nahi aathi?

Dadi: mujhe kya patha? Aap donno hamesha aaise hi luka chupi kelthe rehthe ho, ab aapki bari hai, dhoondhlo apni Geet ko, hum chalthe hai

Dadi too leaves...

Now Maan gets worried, where is this stupid girl hiding?

Maan goes up to his room and Geet is not there...

He then finds the terrace light glowing and rushes there...

Ye ladhki itni raat ko upar kya kar rahi hogi? Sach much pagal ho gayi hai?

And Maan is surprised to see the diaz set up for his milan...

Jo bhi ho ye devil Dadi ne apna kaam perfectly kardiya hai...

Maan bhi kabse soch raha tha ki woh apne SR ke taiyariyan kaise karega?

Aur soch raha tha ki Geet ko kahin bahar le jaayega, koi HM suit book karkke...

Par ye toh usse bhi badiya hai...

Chandhni raat aur apni chand bhi apne raah dekh rahi hai...

The palce is moonlit baring a few candles that are about to end...

There's a cool breeze that spreads the fragrance of the flowers arousing his desire...

Today the only beautiful thing that has captured Maan's complete attention is his Mishti, simple yet sensual elegance, that could give tough competition to the Cleopatras and Mohinis...

For Geet it's a very different experience...

Geet had never expected this, that too this night...

She is also just as surprised as Maan...

When the girls took her up after getting her ready, Geet thought this is yet another function...

But as they got near the bed Geet could sense what's coming up...

An unknown fear surrounds her after she is left alone and is kept waiting for her pathidev's arrival...this happens to be their official milan, total surrender and complete acceptance of their relationship...ultimate confession of their chori chori chupke chupke pyaar...

Even though there is no need for any formal confession as they know each other's mind, it's always good to know from one another how much they love each other, haina?

Just to let the other partner know that this marriage is not a compulsion or compromise, nor it's a result of any pressure or an action of pity, this is one way of confessing their love for each other...

Geet senses that Maan is here and this is the moment she had been waiting for...

For Maan too the long and desperate wait is over...

Geet has hidden her face with the pallu and Maan couldn't wait to see her reaction...

He just wants this pardha off once for all...no more hurdles...

Maan reaches the bed and makes his way inside the flowers...

Geet is sitting anxiously and is happy that she is behind the pallu...

Maan gets closer and sits beside her...

             He keeps staring Geet and slowly opens the pallu and lifts her chin...

Geet is all blushy blushy and her face has turned red...

Seeing her all shy Maan is turned on...

Maan looks into her eyes for Geet's answers for all his queries...

What's going on in her mind?

Is she also thinking like Maan?

Isn't she ready for this yet?

Maan knows that all these are purely Dadi's work and Geet had no idea about it too...

Maan tries to break the unusual silence of his Mishti...

Maan: Geet

Geet: aap abhi bhi mujhse naraaz ho

Geet bursts out...

Maan is taken aback...

Maan: Geet?

Geet: woh aap , aap aaise hi mujhe darathe ho, issiliye...issiliye

Maan: kya? mein hamesha tumme daratha hoon?

Maan gets angry...

Geet: dekha? Abhi bhi naraaz ho gaye ho

Maan wonders what to do with this stupid girl?

Ab toh Maan ko shak ho gaya ki ye pure raat jagda karke rahegi toh ye SR nahi shivrathri ho jayegi...jaldhi Maan, kuch socho, jaise bhi issko rokhlo, warna aaj bhi ye tummari nahi ho sakthi, ab bahut ho gaya intrezaar, sare umar Maan Geet ka intrezaar nahi kar saktha...haina?

Par issko kaise sambalein? Ye toh bahut mushkil hai?

SR haga ya nahi? ab aap log thoda aur intrezaar karlo...
