                                                         Part - 48

Maan is thinking about Geet and how Maan is going to live without seeing her again....

itne din saath rehne ki aadat jo ho gayi ab......

Pari comes with Diya..... ye bhi Annie ka hi plan hai.....'

Pari: Maan, aap yahan?

Maan: ye sawaal toh mujhe poochna tha

Pari: Diya ko terrace pe dinner karna hai

Maan has easily made friends with Diya.....

Pari: Maan, aap thoda Diya ko utao na

Pari gives Diya to Maan.....

Maan carries Diya and takes her to how the illuminated city around.....

Pari: Maan, aap kahan jaathe ho? yahi rukho, I'll feed Diya

Maan: Diya wants to see the night time city

Pari: Maan, bachchon ko chand dikathe hai, city nahi

Maan: aaj kal ke bache sadekhthe hai aur samajthe bhi

Pari: Maan, aaisa nahi chalega, kal hummare bache honge toh aap kaise sambage? aap ko training lena padega

Maan thinks about the irony of his lfe......

Maan's daughter is in Mumbai while Maan is taking training for his future children here!!!!!

Next day...... Adi calls Maan.......

Adi can't hide anything from Maan....

Maan: Adi, sab teek haina?

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha ha

Maan: Adi, be serious

Adi: woh, Geet m'am aaye the

Maan: achcha, Geet came to KC,,did she ask about her stakes ?

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha, nahi sir

Maan: then, did you tell her everything?

Adi: nahi sir

Maan: phir kya baat hai Adi?

Adi: Geet m'am has returned the papers sir

Maan: what?

Maan is dejected...... what else does Geet expect him to do?

Adi is talkig to someone else meanwhile....

Adi: chup kar abhi nahi

Maan: what's wrong Adi? who's that?

Adi: nothing sir, ye Pinky koi bakwaas kar rahi hai

Maan: kya baat hai Adi?

Adi: woh sir, Pinky ko lagtha hai ki aap Geet 'm'am ko bahut pehle hi jaanthe hai

Maan: kya

Adi: woh aap nahi sir  Geet m'am aap ko bahut pehle hi dhoondthe  the, nahi jaahthe hai

Maan: Adi, put Pinky on the phone

Pinky good morning sir

Maan: Pinky, ye kya bakwaas hai?

Pinky: sir meine Geet m''am ko hummae KC mein 5 saal pehle dekha hai

Maan: Pinky, teek se yaad karke bolo tumne Geet ko kab dekha?

Pinky: mujhe achche se yaad hai sir, meine hi unko bathaya ki aap Canada chale gaye, aur unko aapke Canada wali address bhi dhi

Maan remembers Geet tellling him that he came in search of him to Delhi after she came to know about her pregnancy.....

Pinky: par sir meine joot boldhi

Maan: kya?

Pinky: uss waqt aap yahi the, lapatha ho gaye the

Maan: Pinky?

Pinky: haan sir, ek month badh aap KC wapas aaye aur usske badh hi aap Canada gaye, mujhe achche se yaad hai sir

Maan: par abhi ye sab kyun kehthi ho?

Pinky: sir, woh Geet m'am ko dekh ke mujhe bahut bhura lagtha hai sir, woh bahut achche hai, uss din Geet m'am aap se milne aaye the, kissi ne bhi unko KC andar aane nahi diya, sab bahut gusse mei the kyunki aap uss waqt lapatha ho gaye, aur Geet m'am pura din office ke bahar aapka intrezaar kar rahi thi

Maan: tumme yaad  hai woh date? dhyaan se yaad karke bathao Pinky

Pinky: haan sir, September 23, that was my B'day, mujhe bahut bhura laga unko dekh ke aur mein sab se chup ke unko mila aur cake bhi diya tha, kal Geet m'am bhi ussko yaad karke mujhe thanks bola tha sir

Maan is shocked to hear that.....

Maan went to Hoshiarpur to meet Geet on September 20, Geet came in search of him 2 days later?

Geet came to know about her pregnancy only at Diwali time, that's October..

Geet Maan se milne aayi thi?

Maan feels terrible on hearing that, for then he had turned mad and taken a road trip......

If Maan was there then all would have been well and good.....

Maybe Geet realized that Maan is not the person that her family tries to portray and wanted to clear things with him in person.....

Geet made all the attempts while Maan just ran away?

Maan is right, his Geet would never suspect Maan and their love....

Maan is so happy that Geet came for him and not for Aditi.....

Geet apne liye Maan ke paas aayi thi..... Geet bhi Maan ko uthna hi chahthi kitna Maan usko chahtha.......

Ab Maan apne Geet ko chod ke kahin nahi jayega...

Haan Geet, tummara Maan tumme lekhe hi jayega iss bar.............

On the other hand Geet is fighting the battle between her mind and heart.....

Everything was fine and good until Maan re-entered her life...

Na jaane kitne bhi koshish karein Geet ki dil toh Maan ko dekhte hi aasmaan mein udne lagtha aur phir se Maan ke paas wapas jaane ki tamanna kartha...

Geet can't just leave everything and go wherever her heart takes her like Maan.....

If not for Dev Geet won't even have survived after being left alone by Maan....

Kehthe haina ki dil toh pagal hai... usko koi farak nahi padta.... Woh toh bas Maan ko chahthe reh gaya...

After Geet went to Lucknow Gayatri wanted to lift Geet's mood by having a small godbarayi function for Geet....

Dev has just returned after graduation.... Dev also tried in his own way to cheer Geet but nothing worked....

Gayatri was worried for the baby if Geet doesn't come out of her depression....

Dev also welcomed the idea of godbarayi.... Sameera and a few neighbours came to bless Geet....

As usual some chugalkhor aunty started a rumor about the baby's father and questioned Geet's character.....

This made things worse... Gayatri came up with a solution to shut everyone's mouth...

She wanted Dev to own Geet with the child... That's how she got them engaged in a hurry... 

Dev was ready to do anything for Geet......

Geet was not in any position to take a decision for her life at that time, she left everything to babaji and her only concern was her precious baby.....

but Dev went and talked to Geet before the engagement....

Geet was in her room like she always does.... she seldom comes out but Gayatri is mostly with her talking about baby care and her daily gossips of the neighborhood...

Dev arranged for private pregnancy classes for Geet at home itself for Geet was not ready to face the world yet....

Geet was alone.... going to the past....

Dev: Geet, tumse ek baat karni hai

Geet: hmm

Dev: Geet, I can't see you like this, why are you punishing yourself like this for no fault of yours

Geet has no answers....

Dev: tum kuch bolthi kyun nahi ho Geet? kahan gayi woh Geet jo har baat pe sawaal karthi? aaj tummari zindagi sab se badi faisla ki gadi mein tum itna chup kaise ho gayi? 

Geet smiles sarcastically.....

Geet: meine toh ek bar faisla kar liya hai, ab meri zindagi mera bachcha hai

Dev: woh toh hai Geet, par tummare apne zindagi ka kya? bachcha toh ek chota sa aang hai, par tummari bache se katam nahi hothi

Geet: ab mere zindagi mein iss bachche ke alawa aur kya bacha hai? 

Dev: abhi tumme mere batein samaj nahi aayegi, lekhin ye mera farz hai ki mein tumse engagement se pehle hi ye baat karloon

Geet: mujhe patha hai ki maaji ye sab sirf aur sirf mere liye hi kar rahe hai, iss ki kya zaroorat hai?

Dev: nahi Geet, ye maa ka faisla nahi ye mera faisla hai

Geet is shocked to hear that..... Dev Geet ke izzat rakhne ke liye itna bada katam utane ke liye tayaar ho gaya?

Geet: lekhin tumme nahi lagtha hai ki ye jaldhbaazi hai

Dev: nahi Geet, ye jaldhbaazi mein liya faisla nahi hai, ye toh do saal purana faisla hai, lekhin humne thodi dher kardhi, socha tha tum abhi bachchi ho aur mera bhi padayi bakhi thi

Geet is confused.......

Dev: Geet, tumme lagtha hoga ki ye faisla meine tummare liye ya tummare bache ke liye liya hai, par sach toh ye hai ki meinne bhi thoda selfish ho ke hi ye faisla liya hai

Geet: tum kaise selfish ho sakthe ho?

Dev: I always liked you Geet, I really don't know when I started admiring you like this, I have always looked forward to the summer holidays just to meet you, I cherish this friendship like a treasure, then I became possesive and greedy for I wanted you for myself, when maa started talking about my marriage plans I immediately told her that if i ever get married that would only be with Geet, and that too only after knowing about Geet's wishes, you were very ambitious about higher studies and so I decided to wait, that's the big blunder I did, maa was right, you could have continued your studies even after marriage but I thought you are still not ready to make such big decisions, how foolish I was, I'm really proud of you Geet, you stood strong for your child, how can I not want someone like you in my life? I know you are not in a state to think about marriage right now, but I promise you that only the engagement is my decision, the marriage'll always be your decision, it'll happen when you are ready to marry for yourself not for me or our child, yes Geet, now this is our child, I think I've that much right to take that decision

Geet is overwhelmed to hear that and is bound by gratitude to even think otherwise.....

Gayatri wanted to get them married before Geet's delivery.... 

She is right in a way for that would stop the rumors and give the baby an identity....

Then Dev realized that it's not wise to force Geet into marriage for he believes a wed lock is the culmination of two hearts in love and not just any ceremony to promote your status....

Instead Dev decided to move to Mumbai, shift his office there for he had expansion plans for Mumbai already..... Dev now wants to shift his business itself to Mumbai so that they can start afresh in Mumbai without any past baggage for Geet.....

Dev did all this for Geet and so Geet is forever indebted to him and his mother.....

After settling in Mumbai Gayatri started pestering Dev to get married soon....

But Geet didn't give the green signal for the wedding....

So Dev flies to Canada whenever Gayatri's wedding chants turn to an obsession...

Lat time too Dev stayed back in Canada for more than a couple of months unusally and Gayatri started worrying about Dev's hide and seek....

Gayatri stopped eating properly or taking care of her health, she just kept complaining to Geet about Dev.......

Gayatri's health took a toll and Geet got scared......

Geet then decided that she has troubled Dev more than enough and she called Dev and asked him to come back for she is ready to take their relationship ahead.....

That's why Dev was so excited at the airport when Geet herself went to receive him for the first time....

Maan entered at the wrong time.....

How could Geet forget everything and go with Maan just like that?
