Chapter 124

                                 Epilogue...

Maneet are happily married...

Dadi is very happy to have Geet as her bahu...

She can't ask for anything more for babaji has granted her only wish a happy family and a life of his choice for her potha Maan, Maan atlast found his soulmate in Geet and they are married for 5 years now...

Maan has become a full family man, wait, MSK and family man?

Something is missing, yes, Maan is left with his business for Geet has taken charge of the household...

Maan thought she would continue to be his aid in business too but Geet has other plans...

She has no time for Maan nowadays...Maan has to be satisfied with whatever he has got...

His troubles are never ending for Geet always forgets MSK...

She has time for everyone but MSK...

Sam and Armaan also are married and Geet has got her friend back...

Even Pinky and Adi are getting married...

Pari and Vicky are blessed with a cutie pie daughter Varshu...

Everyone has settled down happily...

Geet toh sab ko yaad karthi lekhin iss Khrish ke chakkar mein hamesha Maan ko bhool jaathi...

Maan is fed up with her Khrish madness, aakhir kab tak Maan wait kar saktha...

One fine morning Maan wakes up with a lot of expectations only to find his bed empty...

Where is Geet? she usually wakes up late as she gets tired of her long days and sleeps very late, yes, she is a home maker, haina?

What type of home maker? Has no time for her husband and never thinks about him for a second...

But atleast today she should have remembered Maan for a minute...

Maan wonders where has she gone?

Maybe she remembers everything and has plans to surprise him...

Or maybe she has gone to the temple to pray for him, yes, Geet is very religious, and she loves her Khrish more than anything...her madness has only kept increasing with time and didn't fade a bit as Maan was hoping...poor Maan, he has to always fight for his place in his Geet's life...

Maan goes down to find out where Geet is?

Geet is not seen anywhere and as usual Dadi welcomes him...

Dadi: gud morning Maan bete, come and have you black coffee

Maan keeps looking for Geet...

Dadi smiles for she has been witnessing it every day...

Dadi: Maan bete, Geet toh yahi hai, she won't leave you, don't you worry

Even Dadi didn't wish him...dadi too forgot what day is today?

Maan: Dadi, did Geet tell you anything?

Dadi looks blank...: haan Maan bete, she was telling something about Khrish

Maan thinks...ohh babaji, Geet ki pagalpan kab chootega?

Maan: OK Dadi, I have an important meeting at KC, I'm leaving early today, get my breakfast ready

Dadi: haan beta, kaam toh bahut zaroori hai, aap jaldhi tayaar ho jayiye, Nakul, Maan sir ka khana jaldhi tayaar kijiye

Geet enters from nowhere all fo a sudden...

She has come running and is berathing heavily...she looks around and doesn't seem to have noticed Maan at all...

Dadi: Geet bete, what's wrong?

Geet: Khrish? Na jaane hamesha ye kahan gayab ho jaatha

Maan eagerly waits for Geet to look at him and maybe wish him...haina?

Poor Maan he has to wait for his turn always...

Geet continues her search...: Khrish, Khrish, kahan hai aap?

Ye toh roz ka drama hai...but Maan thought atleast today would be different...but no, this girl's madness mekes him lose his temper...

Dadi: crazy girl

Dadi looks at Geet running out shouting Khrish Khrish...

Maan: dadi, mein chaltha hoon

Maan is pretty upset...and that's not new to KM...

Every morning is as messy as this one...

Maan will look for the chances to get Geet's attention and have a word or two with her but Geet would never even bother to see is Maan exists or not...

She doesn't care about Maan for she is always worried about only her Khrish...

Maan thought Geet will remember him as it's their wedding Anniversary...

It's been 5 yrs and Maan wanted to make it special for Geet...but no, Geet doesn't even remember their wedding day...

Maan is so disappointed...fine, what's the point of only Maan remembering it...

Maan had some plans in mind but now everything is cancelled...

Let her first remember MSK and then they can think about their wedding!

Maan leaves to KC saying that he has got a meeting but he had kept the day free for he thought he would spend the day with Geet...

Lekhin Geet ko toh hamesha Khrish ki padi hai...and not Maan...

Maan couldn't do any work as his mind is only thinking about Geet and their wedding...

Geet was so much in love with MSK at that time...

Her family too came to bless them including her brother Brij...

Geet was so happy to introduce Maan Singh khurana to her friends and relatives...

Annie and Arjun had also come and Geet told them about Maan and how much he loved Geet...

Geet was happy to have found Maan and she was so proud to become Mrs.Maan Singh Khurana...

She used to call him Maan a hundred times a day...

"Maan, yahan aao, Maan, ye dekho, Maan ye kaisa hai?, Maan, jaldhi aao, Maan, mein kasie lagthi hoon?, Maan, aap thoda toh muskurao, Maan, dadi kahan hai?"

But nowadays she has forget him completely, the only name that comes to her mind is Khrish...

It was their wedding night and Maan remembers Geet dressed up like a princess getting ready...

Maan goes to see Geet before itself and asks Sameera about Geet...

Sameera syas Geet was there only and she might have gone to see Dadi...buut Dadi also didn't see Geet...

Geet went missing and Maan got scared that she fell sick again...

He runs to every corner of KM in search of Geet...

What if she lost her memory again? That worried Maan more...

Atlast Maan finds Geet in the garden wandering...

Has she come in search of Khrish again...no...babaji save me...

Maan is happy that Geet is fine and had not fainted...

Maan: Geet, wahan kya kar rahi ho?

Geet turns and looks at him...she waves her hands and calls him...

Geet: Maan, rukh kyun gaye? Maan, aap bhi aao

Maan is so happy to hear that...

It's drizzling and Geet is enjoying the rain...

Maan hesitates but Geet comes and drags him into the open...

Geet: Maan, I love the rain

Maan: Geet, chalo, it's going to pour

Geet: let it pour Maan, I'm waiting for that only

Maan: Geet you are insane

Maan tries to move to the shade while Geet holds his hand and stops him...

Geet: Maan, mere liye toh rukh sakthe

That's true...Maan couldn't move after seeing Geet shinning bright in th moonlight...

Maan moves closer and closer and Geet steps back...

Maan suddenly pulls her into a hug and Geet too hugs him back...

Thunder strikes and Maan tries to protect Geet from it...

Geet is not scared at all for she is in his Maan's arms...

Maan: Geet, you look stunning and your face is glowing in the rain

Geet: is it?

Maan: maybe it's the rain, you love rain so much Geet?

Geet: haan, but this glow is not b'coz of the rain

Geet is blushing...

Maan: then what's the reason for this sudden glow?

Geet: it's none other than Maan Singh Khurana

Maan is over joyed and he lifts her and spins in the rain...

Geet: Maan Maan, sambalke Maan

Maan then stops and puts her down slowly...

Geet is nervous and she feels shy to look into his eyes...

Maan feels that they must get in before it starts to pour heavily...moreover Geet is all drenched and needs to leave...

Maan: Geet, your freezing, and your dress is all wet

Geet: so what Maan? I can change later

Maan: I think you need not change Geet

Geet: why Maan? I think I need some warm clothes, it's freezing

Maan: Geet, aaj toh tumme koi kapdon ki zaroorat nahi padegi

Geet: Maaan

Geet pretends to get angry and tries to move away...

Maan is not ready to let her go...he has locked her in his arms...

Maan: why do you need anything while Maan Singh Khurana is here

Geet looks at him and his eyes turn dark looking at the water droplets sitting pretty on her red velvety lips...

Maan bends and starts to taste that droplets first before he could start feasting on her honey laden sweet lips...

Geet feels the warmth of his kiss and she hugs him tight asking for more...

After a sensuous kiss Maan carries her in to continue the game...

Maan sighs as he remembers the past...but everything has turned upside down now...

Geet seldom comes to bed while Maan is awake and sleeps even after Maan wakes in the morning...

Maan blames his himself for the mistake for he is only responsible for his plight, haina?

It's all his fault, he wanted all this and why should he blame anyone else?

Maan gets a call from Dadi that Geet has fainted and she asks Maan to come home immediately...

Maan rushes home and is surprised to see a party awaiting him...

So dadi has lied to him, it's all her plan...

Vicky comes to welcome Maan...

Vicky: happy Anniversary Bro

Sam: Happy Anniversary Maan

Maan is only looking out for Geet...

He finds Geet in front of a beautiful cake...

Pari: bhai, Geet is waiting for you, come fast

Vicky whispers in Maan's ears...: bhai did you get a gift for babhi?

Maan has forgot as he was angry...he also cancelled all the flowers he had ordered...

Maan shakes his head...Geet must be very angry then...

Maan rushes to Geet...she is still looking at someone else while everyone wait for them to cut the cake...

Geet is waiting with the knife but her mind is somehwre else...

Maan holds Geets hands and cuts the cake...: happy Anniversary Geet

Geet didn't seem to hear that at all...

Maan is disappointed...not now Geet...Maan pleads with his eyes...

Geet: Khrish, khrish, rukh jao, wait for me, don't go alone

Geet goes off while Maan keeps staring her holding the cake he wished to feed Geet with love...but no Geet has vanished in a second...

Maan couldn't do anything before everyone...

And the party is over and all have left...

Geet is still running after Khrish as usual...

Maan can't see her like this...he goes and stops her...

Geet turns and stares him...

Maan: Geet, ye kya haal banake rakha hai apne?

Maan adjust her hair and she looks tired...

Geet: Khrish, ye Khrish bhi na, hamesha mere saath aaisa hi kartha, bahut shararthi ho gaya hai

Maan: haan, I'll take care of Khrish

Geet is surprised to hear that from Maan...

Geet looks at him shocked...

Maan: I said I'll take care of Khrish

Geet: but where is Khrish?

Maan: he is here only

Geet: I can't find him, Khrish aajkal bahut tang kartha mujhe, see, I lost him again, where will I find him?

Maan: sshhh, chup bilkul chup

Maan closes her mouth with his fingers...

Maan: bas Geet, bahut ho gaya, ab ek aur labz nahi

Maan lifts her and takes her to their room...

Geet also wanted to be carried like that...

Geet: but Khrish

Maan: Geet, pagal ho gaye ho kya? it's our wedding day, forget about Khrish, it's only Maan Singh khurana, samjhi tum?

Geet: how can I forget Khrish? Aap pagal ho gaye ho

Maan: Geet, kam se kam aaj toh mujhe pareshaan mat karo

Geet: bathao mujhe Khrish kahan hai?

Maan: Geet, meine kaha na Khrish nahi hai toh nahi hai

Geet: what?

Maan warns her...: nahi Geet, aaj toh tum mujhe chodke kahin mat jaa sakthi

Geet: why not?

Maan: aaj tum sirf meri ho, Maan ki Geet, samjhi tum

Geet: achcha ji? Aap kaun ho ji itne gusse karnewale?

Maan: mein kaun hoon? Abhi samjaatha hoon, bahut din ho gaye hai Geet, aaj toh tumme MSK ki yaad dilana hi padega

Geet pretends to be scared...

Geet: babaji, mujhe bachao

Maan: aaj babaji bhi tumme nahi bacha sakthe, smajhi tum

Geet: ye aap ko aaj kya ho gaya ji?

Maan: aakhir tumne toh MSK ko pagal bana hi diya hai Geet, ab chup, bilkul chup, koi sawaal nahi

Geet remains silent...

They have reached their room and Geet is surprised to see it decorated with red rose, her favorite...it's the same roses that Maan had cancelled...but Geet has saved the order without Maan's knowledge...

Geet: kaise laga Maan?

Maan is shocked...

Maan: Geet, ye sab kya hai?

Geet: Maan, aap bhool gaye ho kya? it's my wedding day and I did all this for my love

Maan: achcha!

Maan gets closer but Geet pushes him off...

Maan looks at Geet...Geet smiles...: ktine din ho gaye hai,aaj toh mujhe DD ko dekhne ka mann kar raha tha, issiliye, kamaal hai Maan, aap aaj bhi waise hi ho

Maan: tum bhi toh Geet, zara sa bhi nahi badli

Geet: mein toh hamesha Maan ki Geet hi hoon, aap hi hamesha mujhe nahi samjthe

Maan: lekhin Geet, aajkal toh tum meri taraf dekhthi bhi nahi, mein kya karoon?

Geet: aap bhi na, aap koi bache ho kya ki mein hamesha aap ke peeche padthi rahoon?

Maan: Geet, don't forget that I'm always your first love and first priority

Geet smirks...priorities change with time Maan

Maan: achcha? Then why did you do all this for me?

Geet: I didn't do this for you

Maan: what?

Geet: I did this for myself, it's my wedding Anniversary, I want it to be special

Maan: toh aaisi baat hai

Maan goes and hugs her from the back...

Geet: Maan, chodo mujhe

Maan: nahi chod saktha

Geet: Khrish aajayega

Maan: aane do usse

Geet: aap ko aaise dkehtha toh naraaz ho jayega

Maan: Geet, mein kissi Khrish se nahi dartha

Geet: achcha?

Maan: haan, mein MSK hoon

Geet: Maan, dekho Khrish

Maan steps back suddenly...

Geet laughs...

Geet: dar gaye na

Maan: nahi toh, mein usse kyun dartha, mein usska baap hoon

Yes, Khrish is their 3 yr old son, junior MSK...

Geet: kaise baap ho ji, kya aap batha sakthe ki mera Khrish kahan hai?

Maan starts to think...

Maan: haan Geet, Khrish kahan hai?

Geet: very good Maan, baap ho toh aaise

Maan: I know he is sleeping somewhere peacefully in his mom's care

Geet: yahi baat toh mujhe pareshaan karthi hai Maan, hamesha mein hi Khrish ko smabalthi hoon, aap hamesha ki tarah aaram karthe ho

Maan: what? when did you let me take care of him Geet? it's always you

Geet: how much time you stay with him Maan? You come after we sleep and leave before we get up

Maan: what? this is not fair, you two keep playing till mid-night and sleep till 8, but I'm a business man, I have got work

Geet: don't start this again Maan

Maan: OK Geet, I'm sorry, I'll take care of Khrish hereafter

Geet: and I'll take care of KC then

Maan: no no Geet, not like that, you know Khrish would miss you

Geet: nice excuse Maan

But Geet won't trust Maan when it comes to Khrish, Maan doesn't have the patience to handle naughty Khrish...

Maan: see Geet, even now you are only thinking of Khrish

Geet: sorry Maan, you only started it

Maan: sshhh I don't have the time to argue

Maan pulls Geet and starts playing with her hair...

Maan keeps staring Geet while she tries to hide her raising heart beat...

It's been a month since they had some private time and Maan missed this a lot...

Geet has also been planning this for a while...and the time has come, it's their Anniversary...

Maan admires Geet...and now he finds her dressed up just like their wedding night...

Aakhir Geet ko Maan ki yaad aa hi gayi...

Maan: agar mujhe patha chaltha toh mein barish ko bhi lekhe aatha

Geet: achcha?

And then they hear the thunder striking...yes, it's going to rain...

Geet smells the scent of rain...

Geet is excited...: Maan, barish honewali hai

Maan is happy to see her excited like a kid, now Maan knows what to do...

He lifts her and takes her to the garden where the rain is ready to welcome them...

And the game continues...Maneet's love is eternal like the rain itself...haina?
