Chapter 85

                     Part - 85

On the way....

Geet closes her eyes and tries to rest a while....

Maan drives carefully not to wake her up....

She needs a break....

Aditi is fine looking at the beautiful fields and trees...

She even started counting the trees....

She stopped after 20 for she didn't know what comes after that....

After an hours travel the car stops and Geet comes out of her nap....

Geet wonders where they are for this doesn't seem like the high way they took in the morning...

Maan: Geet, come on, look where we are?

Geet looks on the side Maan points and sees the Golden temple....

Maan: I wanted to take Aditi here to take babaji's blessings, i hope you won't mind

Geet needed babaji's blessings and guidance more than Aditi...

Geet: nahi, I'm happy that you took us here, mujhe bhi babaji ka darshan karna hai

Maan can't believe that Geet agreed with him without any arguement...

Maan goes and takes a dip at the tank and he comes and takes Aditi too....

Maan takes care that he doesn't wet her hair for he knows how she hates it when you touch her hair....

Geet waits for them and they go and have a great darshan....

Geet sits in a corner and meditates....

She keeps thinking about what her Baaji said and seeks babaji's guidance as to what she should do with her life?

Geet doesn't realize the time she took for her heartfelt dua...

Maan keeps Aditi with him and let's Geet pray alone....

When Geet finally finishes her prayers with the request to show her the right path she finds Maan playing with Aditi sitting right in front of her,,,,

Geet doesn't know if that is babaji's way of telling her something....

Geet: babaji, aap kehna kya chahthe ho?

Maan: Geet, tumne mujhe bhulaya?

Again Maan feels like Geet called him, is that another signal?

Geet: nahi, woh, lagtha hai thodi zyada time lag gaya

Maan smiles.... koi baat nahi Geet, kya patha iss ke badh humme yahan aane ka moka kab milega, kehthe hai ki hum kitna bhi chahe yahan tab hi aa sakthe jab woh chahthe hai ki hum unke paas aaye, lagtha hai aaj unhonne hi humme yahan bhulaya

Geet thinks that it's so true....

Maan and Aditi have changed their wet dress, they got something for themselves from the temple shops....

Geet: ab bahut dher ho gayi hai, humme chalna chahiye

Maan: hare, babaji ka prasad ka apmaan karoge tu? abhi hum jaake langar khayenge, phir jayenge

Geet: par, raat bahut ho jayegi

Maan: waise bhi humme dinner toh karna haina?

Geet accepts and they go and have babaji's prasad....

Maan wants to serve for a while and Geet and Aditi wait until he finishes his seva....

They get back to the car and Maan look at the time....

it's already 8'o clock....

They can't reach Delhi in time even if they starts now and Maan drives at his best.... But Maan is not alone and he doesn't have the luxury to take any risks, he himself wouldn't do it even if had come alone, he has started loving his life again, he won't risk it and lose what he has got.....

Maan: Geet, abhi wapas jaana teek nahi lagtha, hum ek kaam karthe hai, aaj ke raat yahi kahin rukh jaathe hai

Geet: lekhin yahan humme rukhne ka jagah kaise millegi?

Maan: dekhthe hai, humme yahan tak lekhe aanewale babaji uska bhi intezaam kar lenge

Maan aaj kuch zyada hi bakthimaan ho gaya?

Geet is surprised to see such a side of Maan....

Maan strongly believes that God helps those who help themselves, so what's wrong if Maan uses babaji for his benefit once, haina?

Babaji Maan ke undaunting efforts ko dekh ke apne aap kushi se madat karenge, haina?

Maan then drives to the town to do some shopping....

Maan gets a few clothes for changing and other essential things...

He then goes for grocery shopping too...

Everyone is worrid about the lock down and has started stocking ration, Maan wouldn't want to be left out of the race ending without food for Aditi, he wants to be on the safer side....

The one cute addition to his life has changed his perspective of life completely, had he been single he wouldn't care about anything and would survive in the woods fishing and eating.....

Geet looks suspicious.... kahin Maan koi jungle camping ka plan toh nahi kar raha?

Geet toh waise bhi car mein hi adjust kar legi aaisa kuch hotha toh, par Aditi kya karegi?

Geet wouldn't be surprised if Aditi goes and stays with Maan in the tent....

Geet: hum kahan jaa rahe hai?

Maan: it's a surprise, tum chintha mat karo Geet, Aditi meri bhi bachi hai

Maan ko Geet ki mann ki baat padne aatha hai....

Geet should be careful now..... she can't even think about getting back with Maan, even in her dreams, Maan would sniff that too.....
