                     Part - 9

Maan: Geeet, mein hoon Maan Singh Khurana

Geet: jab dekho apna pura khandaan ko saath lekhe goomthe, Maan Singh Khurana, haan haan, mujhe patha hai

Maan: darwaza kholo

Geet: kyun?

Maan: meinne kahan darwaza kholo

Geet: nahi kholthi toh kya karoge?

Maan: Geet, jaldhi darwaza kholo, mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai

Geet: itni bhi kya zaroori baat hai jo itne raat ko aap karna chahathe ho? baat toh kal subha bhi kar sakthe, haina babaji?

Maan loses his temper, he just tries to break open the door himself...

As he tries to smash in Geet opens the door thinking that she might need the door even after Maan leaves and how would she sleep with a broken door...

Maan couldn't control himself and he collides on Geet and they fall on the ground...

Maan falls on top of Geet...Geet is nervous...what's happening?

Why is he behaving like this? Is he drunk?

Geet is reminded of her drunken father...

Geet tries to push him off, but he is too heavy...

Maan stares Geet as if it's her fault...

Geet: bachao...koi bachaooo

She calls out for help once again...

This is ridiculous, this girl always embarrasses Maan...

She is the only one who has spoilt all his reputation...as a perfect gentleman...impeccable and formidable...

Maan shuts her mouth immediately...

Maan: chup...bilkul chup...

Maan gets up and tries to help her...

Geet wouldn't trust him...

She tries to get up herself and falls again...

Maan leaves her to help herself this time...

Geet gets on her legs ...she tries to put up a brave face...

She gets ready for a fight...

Geet: aap daru pikke aaye ho, haina?

She grabs all that she could and hurls at Maan...

Maan catches them and keeps moving forward towards her...

Geet keeps stepping back till Maan catches hold of her hands and bents them behind...

Maan: pagal ho gayi ho kya? mein hi bhool gaya tha, tu toh pehli hi pagal ho

Geet: kya? aap pagal ho? itne raat ko yahan kyun aaye ho? kal toh bahut ahchce banne ki natak karthe the, aaj apni asli chehra bahar aayana? Sare mard aaise hi hothe, mein sab jaanthi hoon

Maan: kya jaanthi ho?

Geet: sare ke sare kamine hi hothe hai

Maan: kya?

Geet: Dhust Danav, dhoor raho mujse, chodo mere haath

Maan: tujhe toh

Maan ties her hands with the duppatta and stuffs the rumaal in her fowl mouth...

Geet thinks that he has come with bad intentions...

Maan sighs in relief that he could talk in peace now...

Maan: ab apna khan kholke mere baat ko suno, tum yahan nahi reh sakthi

Geet thinks that who will want to live here with this sadu MSK...

Maan: mein tumme Amritsar lekhe jaatha hoon, tummare mausi ke ghar, tumme koi problem nahi haina?

Geet kaise jawab degi? But Geet is happy...

She tries to say something...

Maan takes off the rumaal...

Geet: sachi?

Maan: haan

Maan unties her hands too...

Geet jumps in joy...

Geet: aap sach kehthe haina? Aap mere mausi ko kaise jaathe? Dadi ne kaha hoga? Dadi bahut achche hai, unhonne hi aapko kaha hoga, haina?

Geet strats her bak bak...

Maan keeps listening to her...it's actually fun to watch her antics...

Geet: toh mein abhi samaan pack karthi hoon, pehle hi jaanthi toh samaan ko aaise hi rakhthi

Geet starts to look for the trolley...

Maan stops her...

Geet: hare, humme kal subha jaldhi nikhalna haina? Aap bhi tayaar hojao

She is so excited...

Maan: nahi

Geet: kya?

She is suddenly disappointed...is he trying to fool me?

Maan: hum kal nahi saniwaar ko jaathe hai

Geet: kyun? Kal hi jaathe haina?

Maan: mujhe kuch kaam hai yahan

Geet: toh mein chali jaathi hoon, mujhe station chod dijiye

Maan: nahi, tumme akhele jaane nahi de saktha

Geet: kyun? Mein chali jaoongi

Maan: meinne kaha na, mein bhi tummare saath aatha hoon

Geet: toh phir kal hi jaathe haina? Mujhe yahan nahi rehna

Maan: mein bhi yahi chahatha hoon ki tum yahan se jaldh hi chale jaaye, lekhin kya karein, aaise nahi ho saktha

Geet: kyun? Aap mujhe ullu bana rahe haina? Aap joot bol rahe hai

Geet becomes sad...

Maan: Maan Singh khurana kabhi joot nahi boltha, samji tum

Geet: achcha, ab Maan Singh Khurana ji , aap jao, mujhe sona hai

Maan: kya?

Geet: ye mera kamra hai

Maan: ohhh, ye ghar hi mera hai, samji tum

Maan tries to get in further...

Geet blocks his way...

Geet: ghar aapka hoga, par ye mera kamra hai, chale jao yahan se

Maan: nahi jaatha toh

Geet stares him...: toh

She thinks for a minute...Maan admires her kiddish expressions...

Geet: toh aap yahi raho, mein jaathi hoon, dadi ke paas

Geet starts to run...

Maan: nahi, rukho

Maan chases her...

Maan: Geet, dadi ko pareshaan nahi kar sakthi, rukhjao, abhi

Maan holds her back...

Geet: mujhe kyun rokhthe ho? ye aapka ghar hai, aap kahin bhi sojao, mein chalthi hoon apne dadi ke paas

Maan: tum aaise kuch nahi karogi, tum yahi raho, mein hi chaltha hoon

Geet: toh teek hai

Maan Singh Khurana ek ladhki se har gaya...

Maan starts to leave...

Maan: babaji, ye kaisi ladhki hai?

Geet: suno

Maan turns back...: ab kya hai?

Geet: wohh mujhe maaf kardho, meinne aapko galat samjha

Maan: ye koi nayi baat nahi hai, tum toh hamesha sabko galat hi smajhthi ho

Geet: kya?

Maan: ab apne ulte seehde soch ko band kardo aur sojao, yahan se bhaagne ki koshish mat karna

Geet: aapko kaise patha ki mein aaise sochoongi?

Maan: ye toh tummare chehre mein hi saaf saaf likha hai

Geet: aap chehra bhi padthe ho?

Maan smiles...

Geet: aap muskurathe bhi ho?

Geet is surprised...

Maan: gud night

Maan leaves and he is very happy after a long time...

That night too Maan couldn't sleep for a long time just like every other day...

But the only difference is that he is filled with happy memories of his encounters with Geet tonight and not with the dreadful memories of his past...
