Part - 41
Dadi just keeps listening to Maan quietly....
she knows that he needs to vent off his anger right now or else he would switch back to his former self in this situation....
Dadi can't take sides now, she knows very well what Geet might be going through and also how hurt Maan would be....
these two are not in a position to confess their love for each other... maybe Maan might have lost his regained faith in love, this time it will be complete closure...
Dadi would never let go of this golden opportunity.... if she fails this time then she knows that there is no chance of any kind of feelings in her potha's life....
Dadi can't ask Darji to stop Geet's wedding unless Geet herself comes forward and shares her feelings with Maan....
how the hell could Geet open up if Maan is not ready to listen and has already started to blame poor Geet for the happenings without even trying to know Geet's side of the story...
Dadi decides that it's no use talking to Maan and it's better to talk to Geet instead....
Dadi: Maan, aap thoda shanth ho jayiye, hum Geet se baat karthe hai
Maan: nahi Dadi, aap ko kissi se bhi baat karne ki koi zaroorat nahi, meine toh hazaar baar uss ladhki ko samjahne ki koshish karliya hai, woh nahi sudhreghi, woh toh hamesha apne mann marzi hi karthi rehthi hai, if she wants to marry an NRI and settle abroad then it's not my problem, maybe she wants her prince charming to came and take her in a flight, it's her life, it's her dream, if that's what is happiness for her then i wish her to be happy forever
now Maan has mellowed down and become an emotional mess himself....
Dadi: teek hai bete, shayad aap sahi hai
Maan leaves and Geet comes to give lunch to Dadi....
Darji is having lunch with Aman's family.....
Geet: Dadi, ab aap kaise hai?
Dadi: ab hum thoda behther feel jar rahe hai bete, humari chintha chodiye aur bathayiye ki aap kaise hai?
Geet looks at the bruises and replies: it's just a bruise dadi, aur Maan sir ne toh doctor se behther kaam kiya haina? toh jaldhi teek ho jayega
Dadi: correct bete, agar sahi waqt pe sahi treatment nahi liya hai toh ek choti se chot bhi bahut nukhsan pohunchathi hai, issiliye humme hamesha sahi waqt pe sahi actions lena padtha hai beta, agar dher ho jaathi toh badh mein pachthane se kya faida ho saktha? haina?
Geet can clearly see what Dadi is trying to tell her....
she looks at Dadi and nods her head in agreement...
dadi knows that Geet is smart enough to understand things easily....
Dadi: Geet, kabhi kabhi humme bohut mushkil decisions lena padtha hai beta, iss se toh sabko thoda dukh toh zaroor hotha hai, lekhin usse darthe hai toh zindagi ek bhoj ban jaatha hai beta, hamesha hamesha ke liye
Geet: Dadi aap pehle khalo
Dadi: aap ne khaliya?
Geet: woh, mein badh mein khaloongi. mujhe bhook nahi hai
Dadi: aur tummare Maan sir ne lunch kiya ya nahi?
Geet: Maan sir bhi nahi aaye lunch karne
Geet is very upset that she has hurt Maan badly.....
Dadi: tum donno toh ek se badkar ek hai, pehle jao, Maan sir ko bhulao
Dadi thinks maybe Geet would go and talk to Maan then....
Geet goes in search of Maan....
Maan is not in his room.... Geet thoda pareshaan ho jathi....
she runs around and finally finds him in the terrace practicing his tai-chi....
Geet keeps staring at him for a while....
Maan's anger and frustrations have crossed the limits and he is literally hurting himself....
Maan has become immune to pain while Geet feels his pain instead....
Geet couldn't see him like that and she runs to stop him......
Geet: Maan sir
Maan doesn't bother her and keeps doing his tai-chi more aggressively ....
Geet gathers her strength and catches hold of his hand....
Maan stops and stares her as if he would burn her to ashes....
Geet: ye kya ho gaya aapko?
Maan: it's none of your business
so saying Maan pushes her off and leaves....
Geet runs after him but he goes to his room and locks himself in....
Geet stands behind the door for hours until darji comes in search of her when she had to go...
darji: Geet, Aman is such a nice boy, he is very respectful though he is from Canada, he has not forget his roots, his parents have taught him the right values
Geet: haan Darji, he is a good person
darji: i think you are very lucky
Geet smiles in vain......
darji: shamko saath bajhe tumme jaana hai Geet
Darji gives her a visiting card....
Geet looks at the card.... it's some posh restaurant.........
Geet thinks that she has no other go but to go and meet this Aman....
Darji: mein abhi Savithri ji ko ye kush kabri dekhe aatha hoon
darji goes to see dadi....
dadi is not feeling so good looking at Darji all smiles and so happy for his pothi....he is indeed a proud Grandfather.... finally he is happy that his Geet's future is secured....
he knows that whoever is marrying Geet is the one who is lucky.....
dadi: toh mubarak ho ji
Darji: mein aaj bahut kush hoon
Darji looks happier now, he was a little upset in the morning but now he is all smiles and very happy...
Dadi: aap ki Geet toh apne pariwaar ko hamesha kush rakegi
Darji: woh toh hai, Geet jaisi ladhki kahin nahi milegi, mein toh babaji se yahi dua kartha hoon ki woh meri beti ko hamesha aaisa hi kush rakhe
Dadi: Geet kush haina?
dadi can't stop herself from asking this question....
darji: haan ji, humme toh apne beti ki kushi se badkar koi bhi kushi nahi hai
dadi: Geet ko bhi Aman se ek baar milna chahiye
maybe that would dot he trick.... dadi to lagi hui hai... jaise bhi Darji ko confuse karegi...
lekhin Darji toh sab ke baap hai....
darji: haan haan zaroor milegi, aaj raat Geet Aman ke saath dinner pe jaa rahi hai, mujhe bhi toh Taxi book karna padega, mein bhi hamesha bhool jaatha hoon
Darji takes his mobile....
Dadi: usski koi zaroorat nahi, hummare driver haina, he'll drop Geet safely, you don't worry
Dadi's wicket mind keeps making instant plans....
Dadi has a very special driver in mind....
as soon as Darji leaves she calls the driver and gives him the day off with double salary...
poor man, his wife is pregnant and he needs to be wit her, haina?
Geet gets ready in the evening and is waiting for the driver....
Dadi calls Maan.........
dadi: Maan, jaldhi aayiye
Maan rushes to dadi's room... dadi aaram se kheer kha rahi hai....
Maan: dadi, aap ne bhulaya?
Dadi: Maan, i need a favor, I just promised darji that our driver will drop Geet tonight, but that kaamchor has already left, toh
Maan: toh? just hire a taxi
Dadi: but Maan, humne toh Darji ko taxi lene se mana kardhiya
Maan: dadi, but the driver is not here
DAdi: nahi bete, the driver is here
Dadi looks at Maan and smiles cunningly....naughty Dadi....
Maan: what? MSK is not someone's driver
Dadi: dadi ke liye aap ye bhi nahi kar sakthe?
Maan agrees reluctantly....
Maan starts the car and keeps honking the horn while Geet comes out annoyed....
she is shocked to see Maan in the driver's seat and runs to the car......
she looks pretty hot in her simple black saree.... Maan couldn't resist himself from looking at her....
Maan keeps staring at her through the mirror....
Geet could sense the heat in that look... it's equal parts anger and possessiveness...
she opens the back door when her driver starts honking again.....
she then closes the back door and gets in the front seat to stop the horn....
she knows very well that it's the only way to silence MSK....
Geet, get ready for a bumpy ride...........
