                                               Part- 55

At home...

All are eagerly waiting for their arrival...

Geet's mausi has made her favoutrite dishes...

Geet could smell the aroma even as she enters the house...

Geet couldn't wait to taste them, how long has she missedher maisi's food?

Nakul too makes good exotic Punjabi food but that's no matchfor her mausi's simle aloo ke parathe ya rajma chawal, haina?

Geet is very excited and she runs inside the house notknowing that Maan is also with her...she is not alone...

Maan is keft behind and he peeps in and finds no oneinside...

Geet has gone straight to the kitchen to see her mausi...

Mausi is making laddu for her...

Geet rushes and grabs them in both hands...

Mausi stops her...: Geet, kitne bar kaha gandi haat sechuo mat, sab ganda ho jayega

Geet: par maa, mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai, ek leloon

Geet tries to take one...but her mausi wouldn't let her touchit...

Mausi looks at Geet and is shocked to see her alone...

Mausi is worried...: Geet, tu akheli aayi ho? damadjinahi aaye

She looks disappointed that dadi has sent Geet alone...

Geet just remembers that Maan has come too...he would bewaiting out...

She has totally forgotten him...hotha jai hotha hai,maike jaathe toh sasuraal wale paraye ho jaathe, pathi bhi, haina?

Maan ka ye pehla visit nahi hai, woh pehle bhi yahan aayahaina?

Ab usske haath pakadke toh nahi la sakthi...aane do ussko...

Geet cooly answers...: who bhi aaye hai

Mausi is more shocked...: kahan hai woh?

Geet: woh?

Geet thinks abhi tak nahi aaye? Kahan goom ho gaye? Itnichoti ghar mein koi goom ho jaatha hai kya?

Aur ye toh MSK hai, koi bacha todhi nahi...

Geet goes back to call him...

Maan is standing at the door still not deciding whether toenter the house or not...

Mausi comes after Geet and is shocked to see Maan waitingoutside like a stranger...

Mausi: ye kya hai Geet? tumne damadji ko bahar hi kada kardhiya,aap kyun rukh =gaye ho? andar aayiiye

Mausi turns to Geet and stares her, who knows a daughterbetter than a mother...

Mausi apologises for Geet's mistake...: aap bhura mat mano,Geet ko ye sab patha nahi hai

Maan keeps looking at Geet and is smiling...

Ab toh Maan bhi Geet ko achche se jaanne laga haina?

Geet is angry...she is getting scoldings from her maa b'cozof Maan, she didn't ask him to wait outside, he should have come in with Geetitself, it's all Maan's fault and daant toh Geet ko padthi, haina babaji?

Yahi KM hothi toh Dadi Maan ko daandthe, haina?

Mausi: Geet, aaise kade kade kya dekhthe ho?

How dare she stares damadji?

Geet: par maa, issme meri galthi kya hai?

Mausi: chup, pagal ladhki, najaane tum kab samjogi, jao,Maanji ke liye mittai lekhe aao

Geet murmurs to herself...laddu toh mere liye bane haina?

Maan: nahi nahi, pehle mujhe fresh hona hai, hum train seaaye haina? Issiliye gande ho gaye hai

Mausi looks at Geet...dekha damadji ko...tum bhihaina?

Geet stares Maan...Maan is puzzled...why is she angry?She should be happy, she is in her home...

Papaji just comes...

Geet goes and hugs him...i

papaji: kaise ho beta?

Mausi stares him...ye kaise sawaal hai?

Damadji ke samne beti ki haal chaal poochthe hai kya?

Damadji bhura manjayenge na? woh kya aapki beti ko sathathehai, inko dekho, aapki beti ne inko kitna sathaya hoga?

Mausi is right...Geet ne Maan ko kitna sathaya hai...

Geet: papaji humne toh aapko bahut yaad kiya?

Papaji: humme bhi har waqt teri hi yaad aathi hai beta

Wah wah kay papa aur kya beti

Mausi reminds him that Geet is not alone here...someone elseis with her ...

Mausi: suniyeji, damadji bhi aaye hai

Papaji: aayiye aayiye, meinne aapko dekha nahi

Mausi: beti ke samne koi bhi dikhayi nahi detha aapko

Maan loves their affection, that's why Geet is also veryloving and caring, she takes good care of Dadi...and that's why dadi wantedGeet as her bahu...

Maan just smiles...

Papaji is happy to see the changes in him, he is lookingcool this time...

Aakhir Geet ne Maan ko badal hi diya...

Beti kisski hai? papaji is proud of his daughter...

He knew Geet can bring happiness in anyone's life...

She is such an optimist that she keeps looking for thelittle joys and forgets her worries...

Maan: namasthe ji

Actually Maan wanted to say namasthe babaji...Maan alwaysremembers him as the baba who changed his fate, Maan hated him first but now heis grateful to him for giving him Geet...

Any ways Maan can never forget that babaji...

Papaji: ab toh mein bahut kush hoon, mujhe Geet ki chinthakarne ki koi zaroorat nahi padegi, aap haina?

Maan: haan, ab Geet meri zamedari hai

Maan never takes his eyes of Geet, Geet doesn't like it atall...

He is continuing his gurna even infront of her parents...

Papaji: shukar hai bbaji ki, abmeri Geet ko ek achcha sa pariwaar milgayi hai aur ek achcha sa jeevan saathibhi

Papaji hugs Maan and blesseshim...

Papaji: Maanji, aap ne  toh meri ek bahut badi bhoj halka kardhi, shukriyaMaanji

Maan: ye toh mera farz hai

Papaji: Geet beta, damadji ko Tejika kamre mein lekhe jaana

Geet is still angry...Maanlooks at her nakras and smiles...

She is still a kid atheart...and even her brain is very young...and after coming here she hasbecome more childish...after all she is with her parents na?

Geet: aayiye Maanji

Geet teases him...she isreluctant to accept Maan as a part of her family...

Now he is given thepriority...that which Geet enjoyed all these days...

She is not erady to give away herplace to any one...she is the princess of her own little kingdom...

Maan may be the Prince of Delhi,but this is Amristar...

Geet runs and climbs the ladderthat is the staircase, without even waiting for Maan...

She is confident as it's her houseand she is used to it...

She wants to show her might toMaan and she tries to climd fast...

But since she has not used it fora long time and is used to the wide and comfortable stairs of KM, she missesher steps on the ladder and looses her balance as usual...

Maan who has been following hercatches hold of her again...

Maneet eyelock...mahi...

Geet relieves herself from hisclutches as she is getting nervous and shy...

She moves ahead of him but Maan followssuit as he is afraid she might fall again...

She goes to the terrace room andopens it...

It's kept locked when Teji is offfor his duty...

Even Lucky is not lucky enough touse it in Teeven ji's absence...

But mausi has got this roomspecially ready for damadji...

They have managed to get a bed forthe steel cot...it's a mediun size cot...

The room is also too smallcomparing to Maan's master bed room...even Geet's room in the OH is muchbigger...

But Maan doesn't complain as faras it gets Geet closer to him...

Maan looks around...

Geet: kya dekhthe ho? aapko pasandnahi toh aap bhi hummare saath aagan mein so sakthe

Maan: ye toh bahut chota hai, parhum donno le liye toh kaafi hai

Geet: kya?

Maan just smiles...

Geet: aap aaram karo

Geet stares him and tries toleave...

Maan ctaches hold of her and stopsher...

Maan: hare, kahan baagthi ho?

Maan pulls her closer...

Geet ko toh ye nasdikiyan bahutpareshaan karthe hai...woh kudh ko sambal nahi pathi...

She tries hard to maintain adistance while Maan is trting to diminish the distance between the two...

Maan won't let her stay away fromhim even for a moment...don't know what happened to him now, he keepsfollowing her like a shadow...

Geet: haath chodo

Maan: nahi chod saktha

Geet: mujhe jaana hai

Maan: tum mujhe chodke nahi jaasakthi

Geet: kya?

Maan: Geet, mein tummra mehmaanhoon

Geet: toh mehmaan ke tarah raho

Geet warns him to stay in hislimits which is not so easy for Maan...

Maan: Geet, ye tera ghar hai, mujhetoh tumme hi madat karna padega

Geet: kaise madat?

Maan: mujhe abhi nahaana hai

Geet stares...: kya? aap pagalho gaye ho kya?

Geet thinks that Maan wants her tohelp him bath...

She gets angry and starts walkingoff...
